Five and Dive, Episode 420/421: It was the World Series

The Baseball Prospectus Podcast Network

In Episodes 420 and 421, Patrick, Jeffrey, and (eventually) Craig discuss nine mostly baseball topics in between fighting with Tempe, AZ wifi.

1. I was a Freeman in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive: The Dodgers strike first in Game 1, thanks to the first of several weird Yankees tactical moves.
2. Helplessly hoping, her harlequin hovers nearby: Dodgers make it 2-for-2 while dealing with an Ohtani injury scare.
3. Sing another song boys, this one has grown old and bitter: The Yankees have a playoff anthem for some reason, it didn't help.
4. Around the Horn: David Stearns hits the reliever market and we consider the White Sox managerial job.
5. Patrick remembers some Mariners
6. Ayyyyyyy, I'm fieldin' ovah here: The Yankees get one back, but that isn't the main story of this game. Plus Craig complains about Dave Roberts bullpen management one more time.
7. Five Alive: Game five features a five run lead lost, and the Dodgers are world champions
8. Here in the afterglow: What's next for the Yankees and what does this win mean for the Dodgers dynasty.
9. Around the Horn 2: A trade already and a couple notable retirements
