| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Beryls presented by Tops. Check out Tops Project. |
| 0:19.2 | 70 celebrating 70 years of Topps baseball cards. Derek |
| 0:23.2 | Van Riper here with Enosaris. It is Wednesday, October 27th. One game of the World Series in the books. |
| 0:29.1 | And it was a win for Atlanta on the road. So we're going to dig into how they did it and the implications going forward in the series because there were quite a bit of |
| 0:38.2 | interesting things that happened that will impact the rest of this series. |
| 0:44.0 | Eno Framber Valdez didn't have it. |
| 0:46.6 | Just catching too much of the plate and Atlanta hitters were punishing him throughout the start. |
| 0:51.6 | Jorge Saler hit the first lead offoff home run in World Series history. |
| 0:56.4 | I was surprised that hadn't happened before when they mentioned that during the broadcast. |
| 1:00.8 | Yeah, and like from Jason Stark's column, apparently, from Bravaldi's, has not allowed a lead, like a lead-off home run. |
| 1:10.0 | Naturally, so yeah, naturally he'd be the one that breaks the record. Yeah, right. So, well done all around. That was, it was one of those emphatic, you know, you're settling into your seat and you're kind of just like, you know, you're kind of like, oh, Jorge Salar is leading off. |
| 1:27.9 | I wonder if that's like a matchups thing. |
| 1:29.7 | Are they going to take him out of the game later? Like, why? You know, that's kind of a little bit weird. He's not the biggest OBP guy. You know, he's not, you know, he's not fast. You know, it seems like a weird. Oh, my God. |
| 1:52.4 | That is not a good feeling when you're a fan of a team and you're at a game and they give up a leadoff home run or a big first inning. |
| 1:56.2 | Have you even taken a sip of your beer yet and you're down one nothing? |
| 1:57.5 | Like that's a horrible feeling. |
| 1:59.4 | Yeah, and it didn't even really end there. |
| 2:05.6 | And they gave up another run with Albies getting on on that infield single and getting around. So it was tough right from the beginning for them. |
| 2:08.6 | Yeah, and I think when you look back at how the Astros had the bases loaded when the bottom |
| 2:13.4 | of the first inning ended, I mean, there was an opportunity for them to really change the |
| 2:17.6 | flow of the game right away. They didn't do it. The big story, obviously, is Charlie Morton getting |
| 2:23.9 | hurt, got hit by a comebacker, suffered a broken fibula, so he is going to miss the rest of the postseason. |
