Eno, DVR, and Jed discuss Yoshinobu Yamamoto's complete game against the Brewers in Game 2 as the Dodgers take the series back to Los Angeles with a 2-0 lead. They also discuss managerial decision-making in the playoffs and the concept of data being engrained in 'gut-calls', and Mike Shildt's surprising decision to step down in San Diego before considering the Blue Jays' approach against George Kirby and the Toronto bats most likely to push them back into the series against Kirby in Game 3.
