Pinstripes were a road favorite in Kansas City, and I guess you could say the Yankees won more so
00:09
Giancarlo Stanton gives the Yankees a 2-1 series advantage in the American League division set.
00:15
The Pinstripes DRS recorded four base knocks as a team. Stanton had three, including the decisive
00:23
in-game winning solo home run in the top of the eighth. The Yankees take that 2-1 series advantage
00:29
with a 3-2 win in Kansas City. They're supposed to be Kansas City. This is supposed to be a walk
00:34
in the park for the Yankees. Like, you know, you owe me being an Eagles fan a couple years back,
00:38
making that Super Bowl run. You have the bye week, then you come and play a bad Giants football team
00:42
and erase them, and then you play in the NFC Championship game, and Brock Purdy gets injured
00:46
in the first half of that game, and you cruise to a Super Bowl, which you end up losing here.
00:49
That's what I feel like the Yankees are. You couldn't have asked them for a better scenario
00:52
to play the Kansas City Royals, and then possibly the Guardians and or the Detroit Tigers. This
00:57
should be easy, and it hasn't been for them, and this is what playoff baseball is all about.
01:01
You need guys to step up in the biggest spots. You would figure, like, okay, the Yankees aren't
01:05
gonna win this series if Judge has been terrible. Judge has been absolutely flat-out terrible,
01:09
and here they are with a chance to close out the series with their ace on the mound tonight.
01:13
Sooner than later, you hope Judge wakes up, and when he does, you're still hoping that you're
01:17
getting good performances out of Juan Soto in that lineup and Giancarlo Stanton that can sort
01:21
of buoy you and say, all right, until we get everybody in line, we can beat these teams that
01:26
are clearly just not as talented. That's a good win for the Yankees and good for Giancarlo Stanton
01:30
because one of those guys that's usually much maligned, like, well, what did you expect out
01:33
of Stanton in a big spot? Of course he's gonna strike out. Of course he's gonna hit into a
01:36
double play. He came through big time yesterday because Aaron Judge couldn't come through big time.
