Yankees-Dodgers lives up to the hype, Braves roster woes, Twins City Connect uniforms fall

Subscribe to the Baseball Bar-B-Cast

For the fourth time during the regular season, the Los Angeles Dodgers came to Yankee Stadium to face the New York Yankees and everyone in the baseball world was excited about this potential World Series matchup. Typically, a series of this magnitude doesn’t live up to the hype. However, this one did.

Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the epic three-game series in which Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Teoscar Hernandez led the Dodgers to a 2-1 series victory, the electric atmosphere of both fan bases in the Bronx, and the notable absence of Juan Soto of the Yankees’ lineup.

Also on this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, the guys talk about why the Atlanta Braves will be one of the first teams to make a trade to help their underperforming roster since losing Ronald Acuna, with the Texas Rangers on the verge of regaining an important piece to their rotation and the super success that Kyle Bradish had for the Baltimore Orioles.

Jake and Jordan also recap all of this weekend’s series in baseball and break down the newest City Connect uniforms for the Minnesota Twins. Spoiler alert, Jordan is a huge fan of the design.
