Freddie Freeman's Epic October Moment, Judge's Slump & Long-Term Questions About Ohtani's Shoulder

Eno and DVR discuss an eventful start to the World Series -- including Freddie Freeman's walk-off grand slam, and the Yankees' choice to use Nestor Cortes in that matchup -- long-term concerns about Shohei Ohtani's dislocated shoulder even if he's able to play in Game 3, and the postseason struggles of Aaron Judge. Plus, they look back at their second-half draft from July to discuss a few intriguing early-draft season targets including Luis Robert Jr., whose situation for 2025 would improve drastically if the White Sox opt to trade him. Rundown1:15 Freddie Freeman's Walk-Off Grand Slam11:31 Yoshinobu Yamamoto's Game 2 Performance & Adjustments21:01 Aaron Judge's October Woes27:00 Long-Term Concerns About Shohei Ohtani's Shoulder?36:54 Looking Back at Our Second-Half Rebound Draft43:50 Luis Robert Jr. v.
