00:00Dodgers pitcher refuses to leave field, on-field cluster.

00:04Blake Snell wasn't ready to hand over the baseball.

00:07It was one of those nights at Dodger Stadium where everything,

00:10from the electricity in the air to the crackling fastball coming out of Snell's hand,

00:14just felt like something special was brewing.

00:17And sure enough, by the end of the night, it wasn't just a 5-0 Dodgers win over the Phillies,

00:21it was Blake Snell's show, top to bottom.

00:24Seventh inning, two outs, Dodgers up 3-0.

00:28Snell had already thrown 107 pitches.

00:31Most managers would have had the hook ready, and Dave Roberts?

00:34He started walking out to the mound, queuing the usual pitching change script.

00:39Alex Vesia was warmed up, locked in, ready to come in and get the final out.

00:44You could see it right there in the middle of the diamond,

00:46the mound conference that turned into a negotiation.

00:49Snell, with that fire in his eyes, told Roberts he wanted it.

00:54And instead of pulling the plug, Roberts handed him the keys to finish what he started.

00:58What came next?

00:59Just a little 97-mile-per-hour heat, a devastating change-up,

01:04and a surgical strikeout of auto-kemp with runners on first and second.

01:08No panic, no slip-up, just pure domination.

01:11And that fist pump from Snell as he walked off?

01:14That was emotion, baby.

01:16That was a veteran telling the whole league,

01:18I'm still that guy.

01:2012 strikeouts, 2 hits, 0 runs.

01:24And one unforgettable moment that reminded everyone why Blake Snell has two Cy Youngs on his shelf.

01:30Look, this Dodgers rotation has had its share of ups and downs,

01:34but if Snell is back to this level of intensity and execution,

01:37whoo?

01:38That's a scary sight for October baseball.

01:41The Dodgers didn't just win a game on Wednesday night,

01:44they unleashed a flamethrower.
