00:03Last night in Kansas City, inside Kauffman Stadium, Garrett Cole, sensational, seven

00:08innings of work, only allowing six base knocks, just one earned run, not a single walk registered

00:16and striking out four as the Yankees do just enough offensively.

00:21And Luke Weaver comes in for a third time in the three wins for the Yanks in this series

00:26to shut the door and record a save.

00:32The Yankees, Joe, have now advanced to the American League Championship Series.

00:37Yeah.

00:38And listen, hats off to Kansas City too.

00:39I mean, each game of this series then was decided by two runs or less, right?

00:45And this has always been my argument that some people aren't very thrilled with the

00:50format and the variants that come along with this in these short series, right?

00:55Three games, five games, that type of thing along those lines.

01:03three games, four games, five.

01:05It doesn't matter if you're the better team.

01:07Handle your business.

01:08And the Yankees were the better team here.

01:11The market knew it, which is why they were the favorite.

01:26Advance and handle your business.

01:28If you're the better team, you should win no matter how many games you play.
