World Series Game 7: We Have Scientific Proof Baseball Isn't Boring

0.031 - 21.06 Bradfo

ever yeah i'll say it with some of the most memorable world series performances ever that's undeniable i never felt more confident ever in my life handing over the stickers that i've given to so many people throughout this 2025 season those are of course the baseballs and boring stickers

21.698 - 46.879 Bradfo

Most of the time, the recipients of these stickers are maybe just happy to get something for free that they can put on a laptop or a water bottle to suggest that they agree with the sentiment. That's fine. That's cool. That's all right. But after this game, it seemed like people were accepting it as a perfect punctuation for what had just transpired. That's the best way I can put it.

47.888 - 53.647 Bradfo

Baseball isn't boring, dot, dot, dot, and we scientifically just proved it.

54.811 - 73.182 Bradfo

Bizarrely, the first person I gave a sticker to once on the Rogers Center field during the Dodgers championship celebration, was the world-renowned life coach, I don't know how else you could describe him a million different ways, Tony Robbins, who has been doing some work with the Dodgers.

73.742 - 89.179 Bradfo

Step one was shaking his hand, immediately thinking to the line from Jack Black in Shallow Howl, the movie Shallow Howl, where he waxes poetic about how huge Robbins' mitts are. And yes, I can confirm that. They're huge mitts.

89.86 - 115.76 Bradfo

Step two was handing over a sticker, which he genuinely seemed grateful to get, which made me happy, and also sort of set the scene for giving out stickers the rest of the night. And finally came a few questions about what had just transpired with his Dodgers. All right, here's my short conversation with Tony. There's no human being I'd rather be talking to more than Tony Robbins right now.

129.293 - 140.063 Tony Robbins

Have you seen a better series than this? No, no, no. Last outs, I don't think you could see a better thing. I think every athlete gave their all here, and I think either team could have won here at the end, quite frankly.

140.043 - 147.25 Bradfo

So when you say you work with them, what is the thing that makes this team special? Everyone focuses on the stars, but it's also, I would imagine, a mindset.

147.27 - 164.287 Tony Robbins

No, I think there's a camaraderie and a connection amongst the team members that you don't see unless you're traveling with them. It's really unique, and it allows them to gel. When one calls down, somebody else calls up. Think about your ninth batter today. It's a home run to turn the game around. I mean, it's pretty phenomenal.

185.627 - 196.056 Tony Robbins

And what else do you see? A room like this, a building like this, where people of every color, background, religion, and everybody's pulling for the same team, feeling the same energy. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's part of the beauty of being human.

196.397 - 215.789 Bradfo

Really nice meeting you. All right, you got that? Sometimes superstars are made in moments like this. Facts. Well put. I guess that's why he's Tony Robbins. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is now a superstar, if he wasn't already before, because of this moment.

216.189 - 242.019 Bradfo

Doing something we probably won't ever see again, which was throw the final two and two-thirds innings of a decisive World Series game one day after tossing 96 pitches. One day after. Miguel Rojas also will forever be remembered as a superstar in the world of the Dodgers because he was the one who came up with two of the clutchest plays in the history of the franchise.

280.98 - 306.899 Bradfo

Part of this legacy is not only being plunked, The part of the kerfuffle. I love kerfuffle. It was a kerfuffle. When there's no huge fights or pat and punch thrown or wrestling the ground, it's a kerfuffle. But there was also his wherewithal, get this, to apologize to his mother after the game. That, my friend, is a star.

307.179 - 312.508 Bradfo

So I caught up with Justin for a second straight day to get his what's what on the whole situation.

313.197 - 318.302 Unknown

brilliant games ever. Being on the mound, watching it from the bench, what was that like for you?

353.264 - 358.813 Unknown

Listen and follow Free Range with me, Von Miller, wherever you get your podcasts.

358.793 - 372.975 Justin Robleski

I don't know how to act. I'm not usually, you know, whatever. And you get a little more nervous being on the bench having no control than you do, you know, being out there. But it was awesome. And, yeah, just sitting out there pulling for the boys and excited for them and super, super happy we pulled it out.

373.075 - 381.308 Unknown

They couldn't have put you in a worse spot coming in down 3-0. It was your mentality at that point. Keep the score where it is. Let us chip away. And we're going to come back and win this.

424.143 - 434.039 Justin Robleski

But, yeah, you know, whatever. It's all competition and, you know, tempers flare and things happen. I apologized to my mom already, so we're good there. But, yeah, no, it was great.

434.159 - 446.158 Unknown

And last one from me. When you see Miggy Rowe down to your final two outs, tie that game, and then Will Smith with the go-ahead, what is going on inside this dugout? This place went silent, but your dugout was louder than I could hear it.

446.138 - 464.7 Justin Robleski

Yeah. No, you're just like, I mean, you can't write a better story. You can't script it. It's just the game we play. It's why you play it. It's a beautiful game. Things happen that you don't expect. Things happen that, you know, people emerge that you don't expect. Yeah, it's crazy.

468.971 - 469.252 Justin Robleski

Thank you.

469.312 - 473.122 Unknown

How do you explain what Yamamoto did? I mean, you're a pitcher.

473.142 - 496.328 Justin Robleski

How do you explain it? I mean, he's just a dog. He's just... He's willing to do things that a lot of people aren't willing to do, and he's capable of doing things that a lot of people aren't capable of, and not to mention he's probably the best pitcher on the planet. So, yeah, he put it all out there for us. Every game he was out there, and you just can't, yeah, you can't.
