Walk-off grand slam!

No way!

History!

The Yankees had the game.
They should've won.

Boone, he just crippled them.

I mean, it's absurd,
the decisions he's made.

When you're playing for the Yankees,

anytime you lose a game
there's gonna be criticism.

It's not for everyone.

The logic he used
to put Cortes in that game is absurd.

It's the nature of the beast sometimes.

Because ultimately, something that you did
led to the other team

being able to win the game.

How long has it been
since Nestor Cortes has pitched?

- 37 days.
- Yeah.

- Aaron. Aaron...
- Aaron.

Is there any one thing
that you thought about and said,

"That's the one
I might want to have back"?

Yeah.

Aaron Boone
is getting absolutely destroyed.

Is that the spot for him?

To close out the World Series game
with the bases loaded?

- Is that the spot?
- No!

It's not easy to play in a place
with that pressure and that scrutiny.

Because if you fall short,
that'll stick with you forever.

All right. Are you ready?

- Freeman van's out.
- We're ready.

- Let's get this thing going.
- Let's get it going.

- Win number two.
- Win number two.

When he got up last night
and the bases were loaded, two outs...

- Oh, my God.
- We were nervous.

We believe in him, but we were nervous.

No, I said a prayer, of course.
I said a prayer.

And then it happened.

- Well, pray again today, for us.
- It was...

It was...

Did you see that photo?
I wanna show you guys this photo.

Because, like, I love it, like,
in the black-and-white.

It's such a great photo.

It's just epic.

I said "How's it going?"

He said...

"Ankle isn't as good
as yesterday, but still okay.

I hit good again,
so hopefully another good day."

It's definitely a different feeling,

not knowing if
he's gonna be able to play every day.

And there's a lot that, like,
they even keep private more sometimes.

And he's, like, could be hurt
more than they're releasing.

He has a hurt rib too, so the pain
started shooting into his back.

You just have to see how the body
is working and holding up that day.

I had a bad ankle, bad rib and bad finger.

We didn't divulge the rib to the media,

because maybe teams would pitch me
a little different

'cause I can't swing the way I wanted to.

Come to find out, Jeff Passan, ESPN,
actually knew about it.

How's the what?

- The rib. Yes.
- The rib?

- The rib's ok.
- Really?

- How'd you know about that?
- That's my job, man!

- No one knows about that.
- I know. I know. I knew about it.

- You're falling apart!
- Not yet.

Not falling apart, we're putting
everything back together, and...

as long as I can do it
for a few more days.

Okay. So, Humpty Dumpty
was put back together tonight.

When he hit the first pitch... Oh, my God.

I lost voice,
I lost clothes, I lost blanket.

I lost...
I mean, our whole row, we just lost it.

And then
when you see Freddie flip the bat,

the whole stadium erupted.

It's a storybook ending.

Your chances of seeing that in a lifetime

are gonna be once or twice in a lifetime.

So, I've said I've seen it now.

And I've seen many a game
but I've never seen that happen.

Hello, honey.

What you doing? Where's Kynlee?

She's at home. Call. FaceTime her.
She doesn't feel good.

- Okay, I'll call her.
- Yeah. But she wants to talk to you.

She really does.

- Okay.
- Okay. All right.

- All right, love you.
- Love you. All right, bye.

They're so cute.

That was in middle school.

Yeah, she would call and I said,
"Girl, stop calling this house."

- Hello, is Markus there?
- Since we were 12 and 13.

- Calling the house phone.
- I'd say "Who is this?"

She probably didn't like me
at the beginning for a while

but you just gotta keep workin' on it.

She likes me now.

I thought she was fast.
I said, "Why is she calling here?"

I said,
"Look, girl, don't call here no more."

I told her one day. I said,
"One day you'll understand

why I say and do
some of the things that I say and do."

And now I get it too.

He's a mama's boy.

But I have a mama's boy.
So I love it. I get it.

I'm mostly proud that his personality

allows him to be a good person.

That humble person. I really am.

At five years old,
I wanted him to go and try out for a team.

'Cause he really had good hand-eye
coordination at catching the ball.

And I took him out to tryouts.

Here I have this little kid
that's, you know, undersized

and with his little green Ninja Turtle
glove and his little suspenders on.

And he's just walking, just as proud,
with his little hat on.

Coach said, "We don't have any room
for him on our team."

And I said, "But he really can play.

So why would you not give him a chance?"

And by this time Mook was crying.

I was adamant by that time.
"How do I start my own team?"

And he was like,
"Well, you have to have a sponsor..."

After he said that, I said, "Done."

So I signed him up and I said, "I want all
those kids over there that are crying."

And I said, "You can call us
the Bad News Bears. I don't care."

And I was the coach.

You know, he knew some of the
other kids did not know how to play.

And so, he would always say,
"Ma, I'm gonna give them a glove."

Or "I'm gonna share my balls with them."

Or "They don't have a bat."

Or "I'm gonna teach them
how to run the bases."

So he was always trying to coach
and encourage other kids to do things

that they really weren't able to do
or they couldn't do.

But his heart was in the right place.

He's still like that to this day.

Baseball teaches you
how to work with other players.

And it teaches it ain't all about
individuals. It's not all about you.

You have to learn to work
with other people.

And that's what I felt like

that, you know, Mookie could do
and would do in baseball.

I think the key is Mookie and Freddie.

If I had to point to some players

that really create the culture,
that support me,

just kind of being a glue guy
and bringing everyone together

and really appreciating
what it is to be a good teammate.

Mookie Betts moved from right field
to shortstop, to second base,

back to right field
for the benefit of the Dodgers.

All that stuff is selfless acts.

So, then at that point and time
everyone else has gotta follow suit.

Another gorgeous day here.
It is 79 degrees at Dodger Stadium.

Tonight the Yankees take on the Dodgers
in Game Two of the World Series.

Everybody wants to know how is
this Yankees team gonna bounce back?

Will they be able to do it tonight?
Well, we'll have to wait and see.

But, man, talk about a big moment.

You do not wanna go back
to Yankee Stadium down 0-2.

There's a tenacity to this Yankee team.

Pressure is something we've dealt with,
year in and year out, day in and day out.

It's part of our culture.

You understand you're gonna win some,
you're gonna lose some.

But you gotta be ready to go the next day

and make sure you're prepared
and buttoned up

and trying to put your guys
in the best position to succeed.

Morale's great, you know.
We're ready to roll.

Our group all year has been outstanding
at bouncing back from tough moments,

or a tough game,
or a tough way to end a game.

I would expect that for us today.

We're all set for Game Two.

This clash of baseball titans!

The nerves I feel like...

- I know. I'm really...
- It's kinda like... Yeah.

- I want to win so bad.
- I stayed up until 3:00 last night

- watching all the replays.
- 3:00? Yeah?

I'm not sure
if I can take another day like this.

I know, like, I feel like
we won last night, so...

- Okay. I'll see you guys later.
- All right. I'm going up too.

Let's go, Dodgers! Let's go, Dodgers!

Let's go, Dodgers!

The fans of Dodgers, man...

They're diehards.
They want us to win so bad.

They bring it
every single postseason game.

I remember my dad
would give me $20 a week,

to save to buy food and water.

I would save my money,
get an $8 pavilion ticket,

and then $5 for the bus.

Coming to a Dodgers game
is one of those things that,

it's a community, it's a family.

The LA logo is so symbolic to LA.

It just unites people.

It's time for some goddamn baseball, baby!

Last night for the Dodgers,

kinda their season in a nutshell.

Down but not out. And then they find a way
to win the Game One classic.

The Yankees, John,
hope they can say the same thing

at the end of tonight,
because they've been punched before

and they've responded before.

We knew we were gonna
get punched throughout the playoffs.

It's just about responding and
coming in and not letting it affect you.

Your biggest moments
are always ahead of you in this game.

Talk about nerves last night.

Well, the butterflies are flying again
here tonight.

On the mound, Yoshinobu Yamamoto,

the third Japanese-born pitcher
to start a World Series game.

He's a world-class pitcher.

When you look at this guy's body of work,
you look at what he did in Japan,

he's one of the most accomplished
pitchers to ever come over here.

Damn right.

Seeing the way that he goes about
his business is so different.

He's a little guy and he throws 95 to 98.

Yama's ability to pitch
and his stuff is special.

He's a master of his craft.

When I was still deciding
which team to join,

I really felt a strong desire to win,

and that was one of the reasons
I chose the Dodgers.

This guy is a terrific pitcher.

I just wish he hadn't spent
so much time on the IL.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto
missed so much of the season that,

even though
he's looked really good in flashes,

this is a guy who's still only
a month removed from a shoulder injury

and has had some times where his
command has looked a little inconsistent.

To be on the mound in the World Series

in my rookie year felt truly unbelievable,

especially since I had been out
for such a long time.

The cheers from the crowd really felt
like they were pushing me forward.

I was telling him, "There's nothing better
than standing on this mound and pitching

in October with 53,000 people.

This is what you play for."

But you never know how someone's
gonna do in their first experience.

All right, fellows.
We're ready when you are!

Right then, here we go.

Dodgers trying to ride the wave

to get to
within two wins of a championship.

Yankees try to respond,

get this series back to the Bronx,
tied at a game apiece.

- Gleyber Torres climbs in and off we go!
- Ball one.

Low, inside 1-0

and we're underway.

Everybody's got nerves.
Everybody's nervous.

They wanna do well. They're anxious.

Ball four.

And a leadoff walk.

Right fielder, number 22, Juan Soto.

And here comes Juan Soto.

One of the most feared sluggers
in the world today.

Soto with a ground ball,
left side of the infield, Rojas is there.

And he throws across.
They're only gonna get one.

Center fielder number 99, Aaron Judge.

Judge was one for five last night.

Struck out three times
against Jack Flaherty.

He gets going,
he could win the Series for the Yanks.

Judge and Stanton
are both such powerful hitters.

I knew that one swing could
totally change the momentum.

I focused on hitting tough spots.

Got a chase. 2-2.

And even if I was going to make a mistake,

I was trying to
at least stay out of the strike zone.

I just made sure to be as precise
as possible,

aiming for the corners.

Strikes out swinging.

It's the 17th time
he's struck out in 11 playoff games.

And here, John, is Carlos Rodón.

Yeah, this guy's gotta pitch
top of the zone, spin his slider.

He has struck out
better than 37% of the batters

he's faced in the postseason.

Carlos is fierce on the mound. He doesn't
want to ever come out of the game.

He wants to fight till the last pitch.
And when it's his day to pitch,

you know we're gonna get 150% out of him
every single time.

They have good hitters,
but I'm here for a reason.

I think our lineup's just as good.
Honestly, I think we're better.

Two gone in the first.
And here comes the hero, Freddie Freeman.

Standing ovation for Freddie Freeman.

And you can understand why.

Last night, he hit the first-ever walk-off
grand slam in World Series history.

Freddie! Freddie!

I'm a big leaguer too.
So I'm supposed to get those guys out.

That's what I'm paid for.

Popped up on the diamond.
Everybody's saying they can't find it.

Thankfully for the Yankees, Rizzo does.

Both pitchers put up zeroes.
We're off and rolling in Game Two.

If you look at every postseason

and you look at the star players,
managers, organizations are always

gonna look at certain guys that
you don't want to beat you.

You don't want Shohei.
You don't want Mookie.

You don't want Freddie.

So by default, there's other players
that are gonna get opportunities.

Tommy Edman, a switch-hitter,
batting from the right side.

Seven-game hitting streak,
batting average .419 for Edman

during this stretch.

Hits a high fly ball, left field,
carrying toward the corner.

Verdugo on the run. He's at the wall!

It's gone!

Tommy Tanks, welcome to the World Series!

Second home run of the postseason.

He hit fourth in a lineup for us.
He's hit sixth. He hit ninth.

And he didn't care.

Those are the things that
make winning teams.

It's a pitch that guys have
attacked me with in the past,

trying to beat me in
when I'm hitting right-handed.

I never try to hit homers.

You know, line drives can
accidentally turn into homers.

Number 22, Juan Soto.

Juan Soto against anybody
is a matchup that I wanna see.

There's no bigger showman in baseball.

His first pitch takes off on him.
Ball one.

The confidence that
he exudes in a batter's box.

Takes a splitter for a strike.

Just the look in his eye
before he hit the game-winning home run

in the deciding game of
the American League Championship Series,

that aura is unbelievable.

Two down. 2-2 in the 10th.

Season on the line for Cleveland.

The Yankees have runners
at first and second.

And the batter will be Juan Soto.

Juan's gonna get a base hit here.

He's gonna get all changeups.

Swing! And a foul back on a slider.

Are you shitting me?

Wow.

Flirting with danger, throwing Soto
sliders instead of changeups.

Swing. And a foul off to the left.

His at bats are like wars, battles.

He likes the competition.
The acknowledgment is the competition.

'Cause he creates this theatrical battle
of him and the pitcher.

Chopper to first, foul.

Soto just stalking Gaddis right now.

After all these foul balls,
just shaking his head.

How do you get a guy out
who seemingly has no holes?

He swings in there
where he's behind the count.

Just spoiling and just kinda feel
and sense and see him,

learning from every pitch.

Swung on,
hit high in the air, deep center.

Got his ass!

...Thomas is back, track, wall...

Gone!

He got 'im! Jeez!

What an incredible at bat by Juan Soto.

Dude, that's big time.
You gotta pay him six hundred million.

- Hey, that shit just went up.
- Seven hundred, give it to him!

Yankees are three outs away
from a trip to the World Series.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto facing Juan Soto.

One ball, one strike.

Hold on, did he go?

- Yes.
- 1 and 2.

Swung on,
hit high in the air to right field.

Betts going back on the track,
at the wall...

She's gone!

There's a Soto photo!

He's Juan-derful

Marvelous

Juan Soto absolutely launched
his fourth home run of the postseason.

Yamamoto tried to sneak
a fastball at 95 on the inside corner.

And the Yankees unable
to come up with a key hit,

they just blast it over the wall
to get the offense.

And that evens the score,
one apiece in Game Two.

Number 50, Mookie Betts!

All right, Mookie. See the ball, let's go.

All the attention for Shohei Ohtani,

and then lately Freddie Freeman's heroics,
Betts somehow gets lost in the shuffle.

But an eight-time All-Star
former MVP himself,

one of the best players in baseball.

Two outs, no Dodgers on base.

Line drive, base hit into left field!

Yeah!

So Mookie is 2 for 2 in Game Two.

Yeah. Two singles.

- He's feeling it.
- Get on base.

- He looked good.
- Yeah.

His two-out hits are huge because...

The postseason, if I know anything,
it's about momentum.

If you can create some type of momentum,
it just creates an opportunity.

Two out. Teoscar Hernández.

That's driven the other way.

Deep right center field, Judge is back...

It is gone!

Teoscar Hernández puts
the Dodgers back in front.

You're facing the New York Yankees,
and when you answer back right away,

it shows them that it's not gonna be easy.

A home run derby has broken out here

in Game Two of the World Series.

Number 5, Freddie Freeman!

There's no soft spot
in this Dodger lineup, there really isn't.

Let's go, Dodgers!

Launches this ball right field!

No doubt! Gone!

Teoscar and Freeman go back-to-back.

In the prior series, it seemed like
the injury was really affecting him.

He didn't quite seem like
vintage Freddie Freeman.

And certainly that changed.

He threw a 97-mile-an-hour heater up
and in, and I was able to just get to it...

Yeah, I was feeling pretty good.

Forty-one days without a home run,
and then two of them

in a 24-hour span in the World Series.

The stadium went, like, bananas.

It's like, "Wow!

It's happening. We're doing this."

Dodgers score three in the third.

4-1 Dodgers, going to the fourth inning.

Yamamoto home with a 1-2.

And he strikes him out
with a disappearing splitter.

Good news for the Yankees,
you got time. You're only down three.

Bad news, Yamamoto's starting
to pick up his fastball command.

I had a pretty good feel from the start,

and as the innings went on,

it just got better and better.

Down on a disappearing splitter.

Struck him out swinging.

He has retired
the last ten Yankees he has faced

since allowing the home run to Juan Soto.

Six strong in the books for Yamamoto.

He was lights-out.

He signed up to pitch in big games,
and he rose to the occasion.

And here comes Dave Roberts.

This may be the end of the line
for Yamamoto.

I felt he gave us all he could give us.

In his World Series debut,
he holds the New York Yankees

to one hit over six and a third.

He retires the last 11 that he faces.

When I was told I was done for the night,

I felt a huge sense of relief
because I was able to do my job well.

And when the fans gave me

such a great ovation at the end,

that made me even more happy and relieved.

I could finally let go.

One out. Nobody on, bottom 7th.

The Dodgers up 4-1.

Lineup turns over.
Fourth time to the plate for Ohtani.

On the 3-1.

Ohtani checks his swing
on ball four, low and away.

It brings up Teoscar Hernández.

After stealing 59 bases
during the regular season,

in 12-plus games so far this postseason,

Shohei does not have a single stolen base.

It's true for every team, of course.

You always have to think about
taking the next base.

There he goes!

Throw down is...

in time!

And he's 0 for 2 on stolen-base attempts
in this postseason.

Time out, time out, time out.

And he's in some pain.

Ohtani's grabbing his left arm.

Now, that is not a good sign.

Ohtani is still on the ground.

Yosuke Nakajima, Will Ireton, Dave Roberts

all hustling out of the Dodger dugout.

I ran out there with the trainer.

And I was holding my breath.

I'd never heard Dodger Stadium so quiet.

- Shoulder.
- Really, which one?

- Left.
- Did it pop out?

I think so.

You see your best player.
You're not sure what's gonna happen.

You're not sure if he's gonna be able
to play the remainder of the games

in the World Series,
it's definitely deflating.

Right now, it's a caught stealing
to end the seventh inning.

But the fear is much,
much worse with Ohtani.

He is not moving that left arm.

At first, I wasn't sure
how bad my injury was.

I was more concerned about
whether I was out or not.

It was only when we went
in the locker room,

we realized what had happened.

I knew he was done for the game.

But as we went off to the mound, I veered
back towards my spot in the dugout

because we're still trying to win a game.

If you don't win that game
and you got Shohei hurt,

that's like their crack in our armor.

We go to the top of the 9th inning.

Dodgers lead 4-1.

We don't have any word on Ohtani.

Do you think the Dodgers are scared?

Blake Treinen on the mound,

the Dodgers' highest leverage reliever,

facing the toughest part
of the Yankee lineup.

In the World Series
every hit is magnified,

every out is magnified,
every error is magnified.

So, you've gotta make sure
you take care of business

and put together
your best sequences as a pitcher.

In a postseason game,
you cannot take something for granted.

Soto drills a high liner to right field!

Betts is back
and watches it dent the wall.

Soto starts the 9th with a base hit.

We can bounce back at any point.

Let's go right after these guys
because we can.

Now it's Judge,
whose struggles have continued tonight,

after one of the best offensive seasons
in baseball history.

Judge watches one
that's overthrown to the backstop

and Soto's to second.

Can he find it in the postseason
before it's too late?

Having an opportunity
to face a respected player,

one of the greats in the game,
it's like a heightened awareness.

Like, "Let's clean up this inning
and pick up my teammates."

- Yep!
- Strike three.

Treinen gets him again.

Judge having a tough time.
0 for 4 with three strikeouts.

One down, two to go.

That'd be Giancarlo Stanton.

This guy can hit it nine miles.

Giancarlo's really mentally tough.

And he's able to focus
in the biggest moments,

as good as anyone I've seen.

Off the bag! And the Yankees
catch a break in the 9th!

Soto's in to score and it's 4-2!

A bullet that finds the bag,

and the tying run comes to the plate
for the Yankees in the 9th.

And all you can ask for, John,
is a shot in the 9th inning.

They're gonna have it right here
with Jazz Chisholm.

Chisholm corks a base hit to right field!

Come on! Let's go!

Now there's some momentum going,
some more belief going into that tank.

And that's what you need in those times.

The Yankees have the tying runs on base.

The go-ahead run at the plate
with Anthony Rizzo.

The 27th pitch from Blake Treinen.

Timeout! First base!

- And it hits Anthony Rizzo.
- Holy crap.

That loads the bases.

No one's throwing intentionally at people.

There's some battles you have to lose
to win some wars,

but any guy that they put on base
is an opportunity for us to score runs.

They're gonna leave Treinen in
to face the right-handed Volpe.

This is as vulnerable as we have seen
Blake Treinen in a long time.

It is a little high. Called a ball.

That didn't miss by much.

Hey! Not up, Andy, not up!

Dave Roberts furious.

Volpe, he's a very talented hitter, but
there's a little bit of chase in there.

So let's see if we can't get him to chase.

Got him swinging!

Two gone in the 9th!

At that point in time,
I wanted to get a different look.

And Dave Roberts
is going to go to Alex Vesia

looking for a 2-0 series lead.

Jose Trevino emerged
from that Yankees dugout

out of the dark, right into the spotlight.

I liked the matchup with Vesia.

The Yankees have 'em loaded.
Two out. Top 9.

Trevino hits a high fly ball left field.

Tommy Edman is there,

and the Dodgers lead this World Series
two games to none!

It takes Alex Vesia one pitch
to put out the bases-loaded fire!

A nervy final out in the 9th inning

as the Dodgers hang on to win
by a final of 4-2!

- I'm proud of you, honey.
- We got two more, honey.

I know. Two more. Almost there.

- She said she had to see you.
- Hi.

- Thank you very much.
- Yes.

- I lost a tooth.
- Which one?

- Two and the third one's coming.
- Is that your second one?

Say, "The bottom two."

- You're so big.
- Bottom.

Freddie and Markus are both big on family.

And so, when you see the Freemans,
you see his dad,

you see Chelse, you see Aunt Carol,
and the boys.

Like, you see everybody.

- You see her jacket?
- I know. You cute.

Yeah.

And when you turn and look at our family,
you see me, our kids, his mom.

So like, we have that in common already,

and so the friendship built from there.

- Grandpa! Grandpa!
- Grandpa!

Hey, Grandpa. How are you?

That was a good one, huh?

Good thing I've got a good heart.

I know. My hand was sweating
in my glove. I was like...

What's going on with Shohei?

I think his shoulder.

The main thing that was
on all of our minds was Shohei.

And so we felt good,
as far as a ball club,

but we were just kind of trying
to figure out potential for him to play.

Not only the dugout
but the whole stadium went silent.

You know how big Shohei is for this team,
and hopefully he's okay

and the day off tomorrow will
help him get back on the field Monday.

He's the best player in the game
and you see him in pain on the ground,

it's not a good feeling, for sure.

I don't know if any reports
have come out yet,

but, you know, we're hopeful
that he recovers quickly.

You know, we're just sending
our thoughts and prayers out for him.

I thought we showed some fight at the end,
made a little run at it.

I definitely gotta step up, do my job.

Guys around me are doing their job
getting on base and I'm failing 'em,

backing 'em up,
so we gotta turn around Game Three.

Today, the last inning we were just
a couple feet away from taking the lead.

So, I think it's a tough start
but it ain't over yet.

So we're really happy to go back home,

try to get the fans going
and everybody going

and try to start over.

- Let's go, Yankees!
- Let's go! Let's fucking go!

Let's go, Yankees! Let's go!

My name is Marc Chalpin.

I'm one of the Bleacher Creatures.

We're the most passionate Yankee fans
in the world.

Yo, let's go! Let's fucking go!

Those guys aren't even Bleacher Creatures.

So, you can imagine what we are
in comparison.

Babe Ruth used to drink in that bar.

My job in the bleachers
is to lead the roll call.

Aaron!

Aaron Judge! Aaron Judge!

If there's something that I'm a part of
that adds to the baseball experience,

it's just such a total pleasure
to be able to be that guy.

I forget which athlete said it,
either Jeter or Kobe Bryant,

but "The best championship
is the next one."

And it all starts tonight. We just gotta
win the game, and that's a big "if."

But the hitters gotta hit.
I mean, that's the ultimate...

That's what we need.

Now, as far as the Yankees'
offense is concerned,

they are just 2 for 14
with runners in scoring position.

They managed just five runs in two games
against the Dodgers

to start off this series,

and Aaron Judge has just not
looked like himself at the plate.

It's gonna be hard to win any games
if Judge doesn't...

- 1 for 9 and six strikeouts.
- But I don't think

there's any reason
to believe that it's over.

Because Judge certainly--

If we haven't seen the Yankees' best yet,
then that bodes well.

They were in the games.

A break here, a break there, it could
very well be an even series right now.

It's still there for them to do it.

He's obviously the best player
in the sport

and certainly
one of the faces of the sport.

But, you know, you find out,
in baseball, who people are.

Their character's gonna
be revealed to you.

Because it's a game of failure,
even for the greatest.

And his professionalism, his understanding
of the difficulty of the game,

and that there's gonna be ups and downs,

and he doesn't really ride
the roller coaster.

Okay. No, we got stuck.
We're on the fourth bus, but...

I think we're...
We just got a police escort.

Yes, we just left.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

- How's Freddie?
- He's been feeling good.

Like, hitting obviously, recently,
so that's good.

I think he has so much adrenaline that
I think he wants to win two more games

and then he'll be able to relax.

The Dodgers, they got a 2-0 lead,

but they got their superstar down.

Shohei's in the training room
getting taped up, trying to take swings

and it doesn't look good at all.

So, I'm trying to convince him
to minimize the swings.

And he said, "It doesn't matter.
I'm gonna play no matter what."

So at that point in time
I sorta just exhaled and smiled.

Because, like, okay. He's playing.

The guy just popped his arm out of socket.
Like, it's okay if you wanna sit.

But he did everything he could
to get on the field.

After he finished getting ready,

I looked at him,
and I said "I'm proud of you."

And he was on the field for Game Three,
after popping his shoulder out.

It's incredible.

Being able to play felt fulfilling,

but to have a manager and a team
want me in the lineup

despite my injury

meant more to me than anything.

Let's go, Yankees!

Let's go, Yankees!

- Go, Yanks!
- Let's go!

Go, Yankees!

Fuck LA!

Yankee Stadium. It's still the Yankees.

And you're in the Bronx.

There's a lot of energy.
There's a ton of people there.

And it's kinda what you dream of
when you're a young kid,

playing a World Series in Yankee Stadium.

Today's an important night for us.

We gotta win this one for the confidence
and for everybody to get pumped up.

What makes the Yankees
the Yankees is the fans

and how passionate they are

and how it's part of the identity of
the city and the fabric of the city.

Anybody wearing Dodgers
is getting a wedgie.

You, come here! Get over here!

It's Yankee Stadium.
It's, like, hostile environment.

When things are good, you better
be inside because there's beer cans flying

and a champagne shower
before the game's over.

Welcome to Game Three of the World Series!

What's up, New York! Make some noise!

Just being out there
even though we were down 2-0,

feeling the crowd and the energy,

I won't forget what that feels like,

because I wanna get back to that
every single time now.

Let's go, Yankees!

All right, here we go from Yankee Stadium.

The scene shifts
from Los Angeles to New York.

Game Three between the Dodgers
and the Yankees.

All right, guys, let's talk
the starting pitchers for this matchup.

Clarke Schmidt,

the guy that Aaron Boone has called the
most confident guy that he's ever met.

Walker Buehler,
his first year back from Tommy John.

There's a lot of uncertainty
around Walker Buehler.

It's been a really tough road for him.

Coming off his second Tommy John surgery,

the life on his fastball
hasn't been there.

He's had to learn
how to pitch differently.

And he's gotta find something.

And the good thing about him is he's the
type of person who thrives in big games.

He loves this environment.
That's what the Dodgers are counting on.

You go 3-0 down to this team,
you're in a lot of trouble,

I don't care who you are.

Tonight is the game that is a must-win.

And Ohtani will start his routine.

Bat resting on that injured left shoulder.

We're good to go.
We can go. Yep, we're good.

Yep. Have a great one.

There's no Yankee pitcher
that didn't know he was hurt.

But still, weren't gonna give in to 'em,
and know that he's a threat regardless.

And off we go. Game Three from the Bronx.

Upstairs ball one.

Well, it's still Shohei Ohtani in the box.

Even at 50%, 60%,
it's gonna be good enough.

Ball!

He still is gonna make
the pitcher throw his best pitch,

which is mentally taxing.

On the 3-0 pitch.

Ball four.

That creates tiredness
throughout the course of the game,

because you don't wanna give up
a home run.

It's almost ten times the level of focus.

Loud boos for Freddie Freeman,

who broke Yankee hearts in Game One.

Come on.

Coming into this series
he hadn't homered in 41 days

when he stepped into the box on
Friday night, hit that grand slam,

and he homered again in Game Two.

Well, Ohtani is going to try
to keep that shoulder

from any unneeded movement
by grabbing the collar of his jersey.

First pitch from Schmidt.

Freddie takes a breaking ball, a sweeper
that just got the edge at the knees.

Schmidt to Freeman.

Freddie swings
and belts the ball right field,

hooking toward the corner!

He's found the seats again!

Yes!

Hello, short porch,
and hello, Freddie Freeman!

When he hit that homer,
everybody was looking at each other,

like, "This is absolutely ridiculous
at this point."

They hadn't had a World Series game
in a long time in New York,

so they were all excited.

Quieted it real fast.

My old college coach, Gary Adams,
used to say, "Listen to the silence."

So, it was good because
we were listening and we heard silence.

For a third straight game
in this World Series,

Freddie Freeman goes deep.

Fuck you.
You should fucking hit him next time.

I was in the zone.

I knew I was feeling good,
I was in a good spot.

Yeah, I was feeling pretty good.

That fast start we were talking
about the Yankees desperately needing

instead comes from the Dodgers.

And now a two-run lead for Walker Buehler.

Gleyber Torres heads up there
to lead things off for the Yankees.

Torres leads off with a walk.

Here's the at bat that this
entire crowd is not only gonna root for,

hold their breath for.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

The last 24 hours, Yankee fans
have been talking on social media

about how they were gonna welcome their
captain home with a standing ovation,

and they're making good on their word.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Ninety-six on the fastball from Buehler.

He carried us to that point.

He's the best hitter in the world
and it's only a matter of time.

It only takes one swing,
one bad mistake to get this guy going.

Judge needs this more than we do.
He's gotta get a hit here.

Turn the page.
Turn the page, Aaron. Come on.

This is the AL MVP,
so at any moment he can get hot.

But I truly do believe
he was trying a little too hard.

And I could just see a little bit more
anxiousness in Aaron

than we saw in the regular season.

It's a swing and a miss, strike three.

A cutter low and away.

This is one of the greatest sluggers
the game has ever seen.

Baseball is a cruel thing that
you can develop so much goodwill,

but in the pressure cooker
of the postseason,

and with the spotlight
of the World Series,

what you do there
can redefine your legacy.

One on, nobody out.

Trying to extend it
in the top of the third.

Edman takes a short lead.

Mookie is one of those guys that

I was just so impressed
with how he never gave away at bats.

He's one of the most consistent hitters.

Doesn't chase, always puts together
a good at bat, always a tough out.

He just keeps grinding,
fighting through at bats

until eventually he can get something
that he can hit.

3-2.

Defensive swing poked into right field.
Soto's not gonna get there!

Here comes Edman racing around third.

He'll score without a throw.

Mookie Betts finds a way
to bring in Tommy Edman.

And the Dodgers lead 3 to nothing.

Yankees still looking for their first hit
against Walker Buehler.

For so long, we've looked up
and say, "3-0, that's nothing."

Not right now, it's not.

This team is not built to play
2-to-1 games, 3-to-2 games.

They need to hit.

Giancarlo Stanton.

Strike one!

God! Get a hit! Somebody get a hit!

Come on, G!

That's up towards the left field corner.

Drop, drop. Thank you!

Gonna get the Yankees
their first knock of the ball game.

Hernández to get it on the track.

Giancarlo Stanton into second
with a double.

Finally these folks have something
to get excited about.

3-nothing, Dodgers.
One on, one out in the 4th.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the plate,
batting from the left side.

Jazz has all the flair.

He's fast, he's a gamer,
he knows the game really well,

and he plays free and plays confident.

Here's the pitch from Walker.

Line drive, right field.

Betts comes on and makes a diving play!

That had some tough spin
off the bat from Chisholm.

But Mookie Betts dusted off
that Gold Glove

and making a diving catch in right field.

Hey-o, hey-o, hey-o!

I told you he does everything well.

There isn't anything he doesn't do well
on the ball field.

A regular outfielder doesn't make that.

That was a spectacular play.

As an outfielder, you anticipate

all the plays that can happen to you.

For me it was like,
"Okay, we got Giancarlo at second.

He's not a fast runner.

We got two outs.
With a base hit, they gonna send him."

This is the guy.

Volpe can get a big hit
and change things in a hurry.

Hooks it into left field.
That's down for a base hit.

I was thinking, "I'm gonna have time."

Just because he's not a fast runner.

Stanton being waved around.
Here's the throw-in from Teoscar.

I can see him. I can see the ball.
I'm trying to wait.

Let the ball get to me and travel
and put a good tag on him.

The play at the plate!

Out!

Got 'im!

An absolute hose from Hernández in left!

Oh, my gosh, that was huge.
Teo makes just a throw on a dime.

That was a momentum changer.

Bullshit! No!

Review that shit!

We expected them to make plays.

It was the World Series.
They're obviously who they were.

So you gotta take chances
and from their perspective

it was a big momentum swing.

Teoscar Hernández
just kept the Dodgers in front by three

and kept the Yankees off the board.

Wow.

They were having the momentum
and then I made the throw.

They completely shut down.

It's getting awfully quiet in here.

The fans start turning on their club.

You can start to sense it a little bit.
And that's what you want.

Michael Kopech's gonna try
to wrap this thing up.

Torres will be the hitter.

Stirring up one last dose of hope.

Kopech's ready. As is Torres.

Bouncer up the middle.

Edman spins, fires!

In time!

And that's a win for LA!

And the Dodgers dominate Game Three.

And LA is just one win away.

You go down 3-0 to a club like ours,
it's bleak.

And so let's just keep this momentum
and go for the jugular.

You guys are now down three,

how much of an uphill climb
does that feel like against a team

that can do as much damage as the Dodgers?

Just win tomorrow.

It's gonna sting tonight, but tomorrow
when we show up we'll be ready to play.

Aaron, only one team has ever come back
from a 3-nothing deficit.

How do you like your chances
heading into Game Four?

We're trying to get a game tomorrow.

Okay? That's where our focus lies.

Hopefully we can go be this amazing story
and shock the world,

but right now it's about trying
to grab a game,

force another one and on from there,
but we gotta grab one first.

Aaron. Aaron.

Hell's gonna break loose
if they get swept in the World Series.

I don't know
if the Yankees can get out of this.

You cannot allow yourselves
to go to a World Series and be swept...

The Dodgers celebrating a sweep at home

would feel like a knife wound
to the chest.

If they get swept here,
somebody's losing their job.

You know that and I know that.
