Eno, DVR, and Jed discuss Yoshinobu Yamamoto's complete game against the Brewers in Game 2 as the Dodgers take the series back to Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead. They also discuss managerial decision-making in the playoffs and the concept of data being engrained in 'gut-calls', and Mike Shildt's surprising decision to step down in San Diego before considering the Blue Jays' approach against George Kirby and the Toronto bats most likely to push them back into the series against Kirby in Game 3.Rundown1:43 Yoshinobu Yamamoto Tosses Complete Game to Push Dodgers Up 2-0 in NLCS6:18 Aggressive Approaches Against an Ace12:10 Remember How Different the Dodgers' Pitching Staff Was in the 2024 Postseason?15:56 Managerial Decision-Making in the Playoffs30:34 Mike Shildt Retires; Steps Down as Padres Manager41:38 ALCS Game 3: Blue Jays Bats vs. George Kirby56:18 Name!
