We open today’s show by thinking about what hobbies we might pick up as we face the long, cold, dark offseason with the Yankees on the brink of elimination (0:00). The Blue Jays outscored the Yankees 23–8 in the first two games in Toronto, taking a commanding 2–0 series lead (3:48). We dig into what went wrong for Yankee pitching, give all the credit to Toronto - highlighting Vladdy’s grand slam, Trey Yesavage’s historic start, and all the “other” guys who have stepped up to dominate. Can the Yankees get up off the mat again?
From there, we shift to Tigers–Mariners, probably the two best games of the postseason so far, with each team winning a close one (20:32). We talk about the beautiful city of Seattle and the incredible postseason atmosphere in their stadium, why not all splits are the same, and how Detroit left one on the table losing the Skubal start.
Next up is Dodgers–Phillies, where LA’s comeback victory Saturday night felt like the knockout punch (30:32). Teoscar Hernández’s clutch three–run homer capped it off, and now it feels like the Dodgers are cruising toward their second straight World Series. Can Philly mount a comeback? Game 2 tonight is an absolute must–win for the Phillies.
Finally, we wrap with Brewers–Cubs, where Milwaukee dominated Game 1 on Saturday (40:59). Still, this series feels more open than the score suggested - can the Cubs pick up a win tonight in Milwaukee to even things up?
