Eno, DVR, and Jed discuss the Dodgers' rally from 3-2 series deficit in the series and an Instant Classic Game 7 road win in Toronto that featured nearly everything you could ask for from the final game of a great series. From Bo Bichette's early three-run homer off of Shohei Ohtani to Will Smith's 11th-inning solo shot vs. Shane Bieber, and everything in between, they discuss one of the best games in recent memory.
