Yankees Series Lead and Game Highlights
00:00:17
Speaker
with me, as always, is Liam. Hello, Liam. Hi, Yankee. Alright, so we have a little bit of a makeup day because we were very tired after game three.
00:00:29
Speaker
oh
00:00:32
Speaker
Right now, the the Yankees lead the series. ah Three-one. After... ah losing game yeah p three three losing game three in a insane walk off going ten innings and then winning game two ah after John Carlos saves them that's a way of looking at it I guess okay well you know we can have your opinions in a little bit let's talk about game three
00:01:05
Speaker
oh I only have two things written down for this game.
Hosts' Missed Game Segments
00:01:09
Speaker
I missed the first half. We both missed the first half. I slept through it. I didn't know it started this early. I was at work and I was stuck listening to my my coworker complain about the Mexicans and trying to take his Halloween candy. How dare they? They got all dressed up in everything. Well, I saw this very interesting. And I saw with the broadcast talked about this very interesting stat in game three.
00:01:34
Speaker
um it was that the Yankees were walked 43 times this postseason. Wow. Yeah. That is. That sounds high. That numbers only got it. It's it's a what? Seven games they played. So yeah, it's pretty. That's what averaging seven times a game. So. Pretty good. um Game three was ah
00:02:05
Speaker
Pretty interesting game.
Game Dynamics and Key Plays
00:02:09
Speaker
Will the Yankees strike first in the second inning? Guardians take the lead in the third inning. Maintain the lead with ah three runs until the eighth Yankees take the lead in the eighth.
00:02:23
Speaker
ah
00:02:26
Speaker
The game gets tied in the ninth five five and then in the 10th, a walk off home run by one mr. Fry in that game some for the Yankees go for some of like the more like ah power power players Soto goes 0 for for one strikeout one walk one rock or sorry Soto goes 0 for for
00:02:58
Speaker
One run, one walk, one strikeout. Judge goes one for five, one run, two RBI, three strikeouts. And then where is Yijong Carlo? Did not play that game. What are you talking about? Game. ah Game three. Three. Yeah, he did. He did. Where is he? Oh, John Carlos. And there he is. ah He goes one for three, one run, one RBI, two walks.
00:03:28
Speaker
And then Jaschism one for four, one walk, one strikeout. I think are the kind of.
00:03:37
Speaker
Bigger names um that we you don't want to talk about. um I don't want to write down what any it was, but I hope we got an old school kind of like an old school ah play where he broke up. A potential double play. Yep, he did that. Yeah. i Forcing contact with the third baseman. Yeah, with ah Jose Ramirez.
00:03:57
Speaker
Ball drops out of the glove. Well, yeah. Called safe and that causes Verdugo to be to jump up to second base turn extend that single out.
00:04:11
Speaker
Very. I thought benches were going to clear after that. That did seem tense. Yeah, that seemed like a pretty pretty intense move. Seemed like a little bit of a ah desperate move by Volpe.
00:04:24
Speaker
I mean, it works. I mean, it worked. They're doing any and everything. Yeah, I don't mean that like in a in a really I don't really mean that like in a bad way. Just that. Seems a little desperate for end it and it worked and unfortunately not win the game. ah You want to talk about that, Noel? Home run?
Bullpen Struggles and Strategic Decisions
00:04:45
Speaker
Big Christmas. Dude, that was that was wild. The TVS announcers.
00:04:51
Speaker
Just could not believe it. That was actually a really fun call. It was but very entertaining. just I did not care for it. No, but that was a crazy hit, though. Weaver finding his first bit of like very notable strife. and Yes, the Yankees bullpen definitely struggled that game for the first time this postseason, I would say.
00:05:23
Speaker
The only everything you want to about that game three.
00:05:29
Speaker
There are a couple that I I did back in when it was getting good. Yeah, around the sixth inning. Yeah, pretty quiet game for like ah that first half. So for the majority of it. Yeah. So if you had to miss half the game, the first half is definitely the half to miss. I came in for.
00:05:51
Speaker
Yeah, I came in the bottom of the sixth. I saw the saw Cleveland get another run across. But then by the eighth, Jordan Stanton going back to back. It was awesome. Yes. And in a normal world, that's enough. That's more than enough. I believe Torres even put a put some and an assurance run across.
00:06:19
Speaker
but Again, the eighth day scored, though the Yankees scored three year runs, and then they got an extra one in the ninth. so But I guess I'd have fucked myself. But it's fine. But also in a normal world, the judge isn't batting 174. In the postseason, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In a normal world, I thought we were beyond this, but Clay Holmes isn't pitching in the 10th inning of all of all innings.
00:06:47
Speaker
the lights are too bright, guys. Turn off the lights. Turn off the lights. They're too bright. Turn them off. Oh, poor play home. I thought I thought we were past that. I don't know what judge would not judge, but who was thinking with this one? I don't know. You should ask.
00:07:08
Speaker
should I said, hey, why are you? why you and like Why are you throwing out a relief pitcher who's known throwing out high contact pitches and has a problem with his changeup in that it flows too high into the zone? That was a high changeup that he threw. Yeah. in In such a spot where he's going up against the top of the Cleveland lineup. That game had used everybody. yeah I mean, the Yankees.
00:07:38
Speaker
Two, three, four, five, six, seven pitchers used. The heart of the lineup, I should say. And then eight pitchers used by Cleveland. Class A just. And even today, it looks like the Yankees might. I don't know if he's tipping pitches or if the Yankees just figured it out, but but they don't have any any troubles with him.
Player Performances and Statistical Highlights
00:08:06
Speaker
With, oh, and Class A, yes. Class A and and homes are the... The... Two struggling closers.
00:08:19
Speaker
to Two... Sure, yeah, i was gonna I was gonna make a joke, but it's not coming to me. It's very late for you right now. It's very... Both skinned the game 4. Yankees win 8-6.
00:08:32
Speaker
um yankees strike first uh... with a uh... to run homer by
00:08:57
Speaker
and pretty good production on those first two inings two runs of the first one run and second wells fiveelise Yes, Austin Wells. I have that written down. Austin Wells ah finally broke his his drought with a solo home run. That was in the. Where was that? Oh, my God. That's why I can't find them on the wrong page of my notes. There we go. ah Wells in the top of the second could see ah that running breaks his drought. Currently batting now 100.
00:09:33
Speaker
We still started we still did start three strikeouts, I believe Yep, three strikeouts three walks and two are grunts He went fordings pitched I guess we'll start with Luis Hill. How'd you feel about him? He was really good today
00:09:57
Speaker
oh these foreignians like normal or i i was ski I was thinking ahead to a the other hill. but oh hill no he ah I would have liked to see him go along. How many pitches did he have? i he threw seventy nine Yeah, I want I
Anticipations and Commentary
00:10:17
Speaker
want more mileage. I want yeah if everyone. Everyone knew going in that it was going to be a bullpen game today. Yeah, both starters were knocked out early. Heal after four innings and then Williams after on the Cleveland side after 2.1.
00:10:31
Speaker
yeah everyone kind of it was in the air that today was going to be a bullpen game but even then i would like to see he'll maybe go into the fifth because that's a very low pitch count and even then he only drew across a pair of runs i watched the first i got the first half of this first half of this game on the radio with John Sterling driving back. I hate the jersey turnpike. I hate driving in Manhattan. Yeah, I'm over I'm so over both locations. John Sterling kind of made it worth it. John Sterling also called the Guardians the Indians. ah Well, I mean, he's old. Sorry, he is. I thought he quit. He's back for the postseason as a as a last hurrah.
00:11:17
Speaker
OK. He's like, ah, shoot, we made it. All right, I'm back. no Never doubt it. No, I mean, this is not, I don't know. For me, like that kind of stuff's like an age thing, right? Like, I don't really like see anything more than that, just. Yeah, I don't think he was doing it on purpose. I think he was just like. Although I do find it kind of cool that the Guardians do use the same font.
00:11:43
Speaker
I think it's a similar font. I don't think it's the same font. Really? like Oh, look, it's very, very similar then. Yes. Because even there's been a few like there are a few times today, whenever like I like the the front half of the jersey was covered. You just see the eye and so I was like, what jerseys are they wearing?
00:12:03
Speaker
um But anyway, yeah, so the
00:12:12
Speaker
Glibber Torus want to talk about him real quick? Just kind of go down like see how the or just kind of see how you guys ah how the Yankees did Libertorus is doing pretty good did two for five One run one RBI. I really wish the box score on MLB showed how many home run someone got but oh Juan Soto goes one for four judge one for four with two strikeouts ah Chisholm another 0 for four game he He's so bad my my dad has cited him as his least favorite player on the team.
00:12:49
Speaker
I don't think I could blame your dad all that much. um like I feel like if you're I mean our gestures is is you'll be the first to tell you that he he's he's a trash talker. but Well, it's one of the production side. Yeah, maybe all this was talking with no that's what I was going is like, you can't trash talk and then just have this performance that he's had. He had a good but he did have a very good but yes.
00:13:16
Speaker
he should've butted again even though there are two outs that would've been was that taken balls that was a good one uh... jon carlos stand uh... the this the staff in this before his home and i can't remember him breath anyway every day he's gone against the guardians here six or seven hits against the guardians and all of them have been homeless so jon carlos and many three hundred so that's awesome uh...
00:13:47
Speaker
Brazil, and two for four, two strikeouts, playing with fractured fingers. That is impressive. ah it During some of the plays, people can kind of feel it. That he has the ah the broken fingers? as this says He's slower to get in front of the ball and in the finer details too of picking up uh plays real close to him like balls coming at him he's also slower on that too there was the really bad relay to first uh a ball that no we're talking about the hill to uh hill to ruzo off of a yeah ramirez pitch yeah i said uh what was that
00:14:37
Speaker
that's that was that was
00:14:55
Speaker
i think junior it was leader junior not not sorry even then i think it was just but is it was it retroactively in error or No, I think they called it an error from the beginning. out I I heard on broadcast that it was a hit. The national broadcasts are bad. Yes. Yes. Like they're not very good at like telling you who the error is going to be at or like if there's any changes to that. Or if there's any.
00:15:24
Speaker
ah
00:15:28
Speaker
So the ah this one was another very stressful game. It almost mirrored the last night the last game if it weren't for like the key errors that were made It's yesterday didn't happen. It took four games, but the home team finally lost in this in the series. So now Based on what you said last night or not last time, but do you know, not to ago ah so it's it's a series now, yeah So possible mitigation elimination game tomorrow
00:16:01
Speaker
ah I guess it is elimination game for the Guardians. um Tomorrow. still Still in Cleveland.
Comparative Team Analysis
00:16:13
Speaker
Nankies just need to win one more. The Guardians fight to stay alive. um
00:16:23
Speaker
I think Right now, both with with both the two series going on this one and over on the National League side. ah We're really seeing some very interesting things about these teams and I yeah think I think that
00:16:44
Speaker
Be even doesn't matter who so it doesn't matter who wins these d series. I think the American League has the advantage really question yes ah because the Both these teams the Yankees and the the Guardians are grinders these These all these games have been over three hours. Today's game was almost three and a half just under three and a half hours.
00:17:08
Speaker
ah I Mean let me just take a look at the the other game. How long was that one? that one was uh... just over three hours uh... and that that had a lot of home run that had a little and i want to know the score the in keys mets deflection thank you smith's the dodgers mets was uh... score of twelve six but the well the the reason i think of the american league has the the advantage is because the in keys and guardians are are grinders the guardians fell behind pretty quickly uh... i mean i can say pretty quickly but
00:17:45
Speaker
you know it was uh... was it six is six two in the by the end of the sixth and then the media respond in the seventh by uh... getting those three runs not tying the game i was trying to argue one one behind uh... three four five six three four yeah and then time in the eighth so for the guardians like their team does not they're not quitting it no matter how big that gap is now yes especially that leading the game Tiny in the seventh and then taking the lead in the eighth ah they're They're not they're not giving up and then with the Yankees One just really great at bats That might not get reflected so much in the the stats ah But they are getting to full counts and they are really grinding out. I mean I
00:18:39
Speaker
they're the guardian star i don't worry ranks on the starters uh... but you know we're going to point one innings uh... he wasn't expected to go you know six but that's what i got more than two point one uh... calico you want to deal with the old one for god's five uh... but the in keys when they when they lose the lead i think for a lot of teams that is especially that late in the game and it comes down to the night ending that is uh...
00:19:08
Speaker
that can be very deflating and teams can just kind of kind of give up or like lose focus. So the Yankees are I feel like aren't really. They're not letting that stuff get to them as as bad as other teams could. Then on the American League side, I don't know what's going on with with both of these teams. National League or sorry, on the National League side, I don't know what's going on with both of these teams. It's It's just shutout. It's not shutouts, but it's like blowouts. And that's weird. on the and it's And it's two different reasons. on On the Dodger side, it's really the pitching, I feel like, more than the hide therere ah hitting. the hitting, there are some notable. Yeah, they're they're like Shohei not being able to hit when the bases are empty is weird.
00:20:03
Speaker
um And just in general, Mookie and Freddie just being their typical post-season selves. But on their pitching side though, like when their pitching's off, it's like, okay, it's over. like you You got it. And then with the Mets, like it's it seems like it's their offense. that like They're making like these stupid you know mistakes on the on of on the base path.
00:20:30
Speaker
I don't know what happened in today's game. Especially after how deflating the game was before. Yes. But I want to really go into the highlights and the box score and everything, but I'd say, uh, what was it ah yesterday? Game four. Uh, today was game five. Yeah. So yesterday was game four. The daughters won that one. Yeah. I, that game was. right here the They won daughters won 10, two.
00:21:02
Speaker
that gate was uber deflating. And that game that game may be scared. Yeah. Yeah, me too. um The only the the biggest concern that I have for for your team right now, and I guess the Guardians as well is like. They're not scoring higher than the Dodgers do. I mean,
00:21:29
Speaker
They'll have to go up against better pitching when you reach the Yankees, but even then they've been struggling. Yeah. So hopefully knows what state they're going to be in after, at the end of the series. Hopefully the Yankees bullpen is just. ah Going through a phase like, yeah, just like, which is one of those little phases that everyone goes through.
00:21:52
Speaker
I don't know. Like it's coming, cutting it a little late to be a phase. Yeah, yeah, definitely for sure. But I mean, happens to everyone. I like it. Look at the National League side. I mean, today's game. The nine hits for the the Dodgers, 14 hits for the Mets. Compare that to today's game where it was a six and eleven six hits for the Yankees and 11 for the Guardians.
00:22:22
Speaker
The I think for strategies against the the National League team is it would be if you're playing against the Mets
00:22:38
Speaker
just hammer on their on their pitching and minimize their runners, which is like obviously duh. Captain Obvious, right?
Strategic Considerations Against Dodgers
00:22:49
Speaker
but with with With the Dodgers, I think if if you if you can you can neutralize there are their first four or five batters, you're fine. You'll win.
00:23:01
Speaker
i think When, when I, when I see what you gotta do to tackle the Dodgers, if you can only afford to be aggressive in one area, it would have to be your pitching, your bullpen and your starters, both. You can't let up at any real moment. Yeah. I agree. Like, I think that like, and and particularly the the top half of the order,
00:23:25
Speaker
okay Everything next month see Will Smith down rather is kind of Peter miss depending on the day. m Yeah It was missing is not doing great. I mean Just kind of going over the averages right now for the Dodgers. It's Otani at 263 Bets at 300 Hernandez at 167 Freeman at 219 Edmond at 333 Oh, they've got two Hernandez's which is which That first Hernandez is left field that was take Oscar and then Kike at at 258 Smith at 143 And then pie is at 286
00:24:17
Speaker
So kind of weird that like the heart of the order is almost like the one that you got like to Don't worry about. Mm hmm.
Impact of Schedule on Yankees
00:24:27
Speaker
How are you feeling, Liam? I'm tired, but it's just like thinking of the Dodgers already and. Well, see I mean, the power that they have to absolutely decimate The if if the the how do you feel about a day off like do you think if the if the Mets win tomorrow? Which is the 19 They don't play tomorrow So thank you. Sorry if the Yankees win tomorrow and the Mets win on the 20th, which is Sunday Do you think that day off is gonna be an overall plus for the Yankees?
00:25:07
Speaker
day a team that they think does better just not like going on stop.
00:25:16
Speaker
I'd assume the the rest helps them but don't know don't care. Really show up show out no matter what the circumstances. and That's a Dodgers excuse. They love in the past, at least love having the excuse of, oh, well, they had a day off. They should we re see. They should recede after every round of the playoffs. They're ah they they love the excuse of like, we are so good that we couldn't play all that much. And I guess so hey a show ha runs in solar energy or something. I wish he had that solarium energy right now. Hey, hey. Oh, man.
Yankees' Path to World Series
00:25:56
Speaker
um all Aren't because I couldn't do for for this one. Oh a Giancarlo threw on home run today. So yeah, isn't it? One game away from the World Series injured. Yeah This is insane. Hopefully the the Yankees are able to To do it. I gotta start thinking about that and not what comes after What it comes after the World Series? Oh the season? The ALCS. Ah, yeah. It's like, oh, we make it to the World Series, and then the World Series happens, and it's going to be the Dodgers. like a Very. This was a very fast postseason. Kind of. Remember the first round? Remember Mets and Brewers? You remember? They were the only ones that didn't sweep. Yeah. But, uh. Yeah.
00:26:48
Speaker
all Alright, so hopefully the Mets get that Grimace Power tomorrow. They only won one game at home, I
