Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.
Hey, one thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You. You. You. You. You.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring. Here's your host, Rob Ratner. It's a great time to resurface the George Springer conversation I had a couple weeks ago because George Springer, I don't know if you know this, he had one of the biggest hits in postseason history, at least in Toronto Blue Jays postseason history.
And what I had this conversation about with George a few weeks ago was what it's like to actually succeed in the postseason. How do you do it? It seems really, really timely. Right now, George Springer has played in 78 postseason games. He's had 883 OPS.

Chapter 2: What is George Springer's perspective on postseason success?
And yes, he had 15 total home runs, which is kind of crazy for the LCS and the World Series in 46 of those games. And heading into the World Series, the best is yet to come for George. He knows what's what. The best is yet to come. 1-2-9-5 OPS in 14 World Series games. All right. How do you succeed in the postseason?
This was the blueprint, and this is the blueprint we are going to resurface right now in this baseball season. Boring on the go. All right. Here's George Springer. There's no human being on the planet I'd rather be talking to more than George Springer right now. And what I want to talk about is what to expect in the postseason, how that is different.
Until you live it, you haven't lived it, right? I mean, am I wrong? I mean, I've never lived it, and you have.
Yeah, I mean, I kind of think I have a different perspective on it. I think the playoffs are what you play for. They're awesome. It's such a fun time. You've already played that team, most likely. You've already faced the guy that you're going to face. I think... The biggest difference is you're one of three games that day or four games as opposed to the whole league playing.
And there's just a little bit more outside kind of emphasis on the game. But I just think it's such a cool time in your life and kind of in your career. You might as well enjoy it.
So how hard is it not to make it too big, you know?
Oh, I mean, I would say it's hard, you know, but I don't I don't really think much of it. You know, I just go out there and play and just try to enjoy it, man. You go out there and you look up and the stands are packed and everybody's into the game. And, you know, they want you to win just as bad as I want us to win. And I just think it's it's it's such a cool environment.
You know, there's and like, too, there's. thousands of major leaguers that don't get an opportunity to play in the big leagues or I mean in the playoffs so just to have that chance you got to go out and enjoy it.
Was it was it what you expected like you said all that like when you walk out there and full crowd one of three your games that day But you don't know, again, you don't know until you know. I don't even know what your first playoff game was, was it? It was a wild card game in New York in 2015. Oh, in New York, so there you go.

Chapter 3: How does George Springer define the experience of postseason play?
And... I don't think anybody on the field takes that for granted. I think everybody on the field knows, like, the difference between one inch, you know, could be a game or not. It could be a base, which could lead to a run, which could lead to a different decision from the manager. There's so many different things. That doesn't get lost on guys.
But I think, yeah, you just have to know that you've earned the right to go play. So go play.
Well said. I appreciate it, man. Thank you.
