The 2025 edition of the World Series got off to a raucous start after the Toronto Blue Jays took Game 1 with an offensive blitz, leaving everyone wondering if this could be the year the Commissioner's Trophy lands in Canada. However, Yoshinobu Yamamoto put those early thoughts to rest with his Game 2 gem that helped the Los Angeles Dodgers even the series at a game apiece. With the Fall Classic now shifting to Dodger Stadium, the question is whether both teams will be returning to Toronto before a champion is crowned.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman recap all the action from the first two games, including the Blue Jays’ impressive offensive onslaught in Game 1 — highlighted by the first-ever pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. They also discuss the complete-game shutout from Yamamoto in Game 2 that has helped establish him as one of the best pitchers in all of baseball.
Later in the episode, Jake and Jordan preview what to expect from Game 3 in L.A., with Tyler Glasnow taking on Max Scherzer to see who will go up 2–1 in the series. The guys also discuss the San Francisco Giants hiring Tony Vitello as their new manager and why it’s such an out-of-the-box move.
