Was this the greatest World Series story ever told? How about the most memorable Game 7? The Blue Jays, in the end, had chances to hold on to or extend the lead, then, when the Dodgers tied it, chances to win in regulation and then tie it when falling behind in the 11th. The Dodgers' comeback in Games 6-7 came mainly due to the Japanese influence of Series MVP Yoshinobu Yamamoto and superstar DH-RHP Shohei Ohtani, with rookie Roki Sasaki looming as yet another Rising Sun weapon. Griff and Mal discuss the short list of the Jays' top heroes and who wears the horns of the goat. What has this post-season run done for Vlad Guerrero Jr.'s image and his future. What happens to Bo Bichette in free agency, and is Trey Yesavage a mortal lock for stardom in 2026. All this and more in this week's Exit Philosophy.

Guests: Max Scherzer, Jeff Hoffman, Braydon Fisher, Joey Loperfido     Trey Yesavage made history with his performance in Game 5 of the World Series, sending the Blue Jays home to Toronto with a chance to win the whole shebang on Friday night. The 22-year-old broke his own Jays post-season record with 12 strikeouts and set or tied at least four other post-season or World Series records. We discuss it all with a quartet of Jays who all watched Yesavage with different perspectives. Max Scherzer is the Hall of Famer-to-be with 18 years in the bigs, seeing a kid with a month and a half in the majors do things he's never done. Jeff Hoffman, a Jays' first-round pick exactly a decade before Yesavage, watched from the bullpen. Braydon Fisher, voted the Jays' rookie of the year this season, was a big-leaguer four months before Yesavage and talks about their shared rookiedom in the Jays' clubhouse. And Joey Loperfido saw this coming. And as always, a dip into the mailbag at deepleftfield@thestar.ca!

Dylan Campione, Nicho Fernandez & Gavin Anderson are back... 24 hours after they promised to record. After Dylan proclaimed we would only give an instant reaction to game 3 if it went 18 innings, the baseball gods delivered. The guys discuss a wild game 3, the Jays response in game 4 and get into a GOAT conversation regarding Clayton Kershaw, Justin Verlander & Max Scherzer. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays knew that Game 3 of this World Series would be pivotal, but neither could have imagined it would take 18 innings to decide a winner. However, that's exactly what happened, as the Dodgers pulled out a victory to take a 2-1 series lead.On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap the historic game that took place Monday into Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium, which featured Shohei Ohtani's incredible night at the plate and Freddie Freeman's walk-off home run in the 18th inning. They also give props to both bullpens — with Clayton Kershaw playing a key role in extras, Will Klein's superhuman performance and the Blue Jays' staff giving it everything they had.Later in the episode, Jake and Jordan preview a must-win Game 4 for the Jays, set to take place Tuesday night in L.A. With Shohei Ohtani set to take on Shane Bieber, what condition will both teams be in following their 18-inning marathon? Will the Blue Jays draw even in the series, or will the Dodgers take a commanding 3-1 lead?2:57 – The Opener: Game 3 recap11:54 – Max Scherzer's start16:11 – George Springer's injury24:35 – Shohei Ohtani takes advantage40:15 – Freddie Freeman walks off48:35 – What to expect in Game 4 Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:
