Harry Doyle (Indians broadcast, measured but uneasy):
“Well… if you thought this thing was headed for a quick conclusion after two games in Cleveland—think again. Final tonight at Oracle Park: Giants 15, Indians 9. And just like that, this World Series is dead even, two games apiece.”
“The Giants have taken Games 3 and 4 at home, and what looked like an Indians runaway has turned into a full-blown street fight.”

Chris “Mad Dog” Russo (Giants fan, vindicated and fired up):
“THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THIS is why you don’t crown anybody after two games, Harry. I heard it all—‘Cleveland’s too deep, Cleveland’s too powerful, Cleveland’s gonna sweep.’ NONSENSE.”
“This was a statement game. Fifteen runs! Nineteen hits! Everybody contributing! This wasn’t luck—this was the Giants punching back.”

Doyle:
“And the biggest punch came from right field. Joey Fields—four for five, five RBIs. Every time Cleveland tried to breathe, Fields was standing there with a bat saying, ‘Nope.’”
“The Giants scored in six different innings, hit for power, hit for doubles, ran the bases aggressively. From an Indians perspective, there was just no stopping the bleeding.”

Russo:
“Fields was OUTSTANDING. That’s a big-league performance in a big spot. And how about the lineup depth? Wagner goes five for five—five for five! You don’t see that in October! Perdomo driving in three, Valenzuela hitting two bombs—this was a full-on avalanche.”
“And yes, they gave up nine runs. I don’t love that. I don’t like it. I don’t want to see it again. BUT—when you score fifteen, I’ll live with it.”

Doyle:
“Cleveland didn’t exactly go quietly. Amero homered again, Mendez and Barrios chipped in, and even in the ninth the Indians were still swinging. But the pitching—especially early—just couldn’t hold.”
“Carlos Hall goes down injured, the bullpen gets stretched thin, and against a locked-in offense like this one, that’s a recipe for trouble.”

Russo (leaning back now):
“And now the whole thing flips. Best-of-three. Clean slate. Momentum? The Giants have it. Confidence? The Giants have it.”
“For everyone who thought Cleveland was gonna walk to a title—you better rethink that. This series is wide open now.”

Doyle (calm, reflective):
“That’s exactly right. What we have now is not a mismatch—it’s a World Series. Two teams trading haymakers, neither willing to go away.”
“Game 5 tomorrow, still here in San Francisco. Winner takes control of the series.”

Russo (with a grin):
“And Harry? After what we’ve seen the last two nights—anybody who says they know how this ends… is lying.”
“This thing’s on.” ⚾🔥
