The Los Angeles Dodgers will finally get the celebratory parade they’ve been craving after being unable to hold one following their 2020 World Series championship. Although the series seemed destined to return to California after the New York Yankees took a 5-0 lead and ace Gerrit Cole entered the fifth inning, a comedy of errors led to that lead disappearing right before their eyes in the crucial Game 5. .
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the Never Say Die Dodgers’ comeback in that fifth inning that will go down in history, how everything went wrong for the Bronx Bombers after two errors opened the door to a tie game and why it was all but inevitable that Los Angeles would win Game 5 once the Yankees gave up the lead.
Also in this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about the impressive postseasons of both Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts, why it was a shame that Gerrit Cole and Aaron Judge were a big part of the disastrous fifth and the cool factor to see Shohei Ohtani celebrate a championship.
