Danny rightly notes that Taiwan was the only place on Earth with sold-out ballparks for a championship, which made the Series a statement and a symbol in this time of COVID-19: This can be cured. This can be done. He equated the vibe in the stadiums as four hours of the intensity of World Series Baby Shark in Nats Park. The Lions and the Brothers had their own levels of intensity which Pottymouth and Danny referred to as the “Flappy Flappy” and the “Shoot the Bird Down.” MLB could take a page from the CPBL with the teams dancing for their fans as a thank you for support.  We get deep in the weeds for some game highlights and second-guessing of managerial decisions, because that’s what fans do. There’s a little cross-training with college football, including a tiny tiny rant about Notre Dame fans storming the field because what the hell. 

If his excellent work this season is any indication, Danny Shih has a bright future. Somebody hire him right now.  He’ll settle for an internship.
