David Ross and Anthony Rizzo are BACK for Episode 21 of Ross & Rizzo Unfiltered where the guys react to the massive upsets in both the NLCS and ALCS. The Milwaukee Brewers have taken a 2-0 lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS after dominating them in Game 2. The Brewers chased Yoshinobu Yamamoto after just 2.2 IP, and put up 7 runs over the course of 9 innings. The Brewers bullpen didn’t allow a single baserunner as they threw 5 PERFECT innings in Game 2. The guys then react to a report that the Dodgers could be BENCHING Shohei Ohtani in Game 3, and the guys talk about how that MUST mean that Ohtani is injured, because there is no circumstance where you bench Ohtani as he has been the best player in the world over the last 5 years. Later, the guys react to the Cleveland Guardians STEALING Game 1 from the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALCS. The Rays threw their ace in Drew Rasmussen, and the Guardians scattered 8 hits and 2 runs off Rasmussen, and got to the Rays bullpen in the later innings to break the game open. After pulling off the Game 1 upset, the Guardians now have their top two pitchers to start in Game 2 and 3 in Parker Messick and Freddy Peralta. Finally, the guys answer fan mailbag questions about all things baseball, and the guys share amazing stories about becoming close with Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, who the best PRANKSTERS were on their Cubs teams, and who each team’s X-Factor is if they want to make a World Series run.
