Welcome to Rates and Beryl, episode number 155, playoff episode number 13 it's Wednesday October 14th I know that

because that's what the calendar tells me Derek van Riper enouseris britcheroli here talking about

the lcs games that we just witnessed here on tuesday it was a very busy day we started the day

with word that a back strain was going to keep

Clayton Kershaw from making the start for the Dodgers. And I definitely had the, oh no, here we go again,

sort of feeling. We learned a little bit more over the course the day, I think, after that game

ended, Dave Roberts in his postgame press conference, told

John Marosi, among others, that Clayton Kershaw is on track to start game four of the series

held permitting. So it's Julio Reyes going in game three, but the problem is Tony Gonslin had to go

in game two, and the Dodgers lost that game. They're now facing a 2-0 deficit

in the series. So, you know, I know you're as much of a Tony Gonslin fan as anybody out there,

and it wasn't, it was a nice start initially, but it kind of unraveled for him and things

really spiraled out of control in this game in the fifth

inning.

Yeah, you know, the first Homer made me think of something that Nick Pollock from the pitcher that says,

which he talks about, you know, he talks crap on the splitter all the time.

And he hates the splitter.

Yeah, he hates the splitter.

And to me, I'm like, well, you know, it's a great thing for breaking ball pitchers to try to like do a two finger. Like I like Montas. I like Gonsolin. Like it's a, it's kind of a breaking ball pitchers change up. You know, I'm into it. But when you saw that pitch that he threw to Freeman, right?

You're trying to command that pitch off of one finger.

Did you see the slow-mo of it?

It just came off of one finger.
