00:00
Yeah, and now you got to go up against Cole, so how does this game shape out do you think
00:08
here tonight?
00:09
Ace versus Ace?
00:11
I'm really excited for it.
00:13
I think this is going to be theater, man, and I feel like, yeah, understandably it's
00:18
skewed towards the Yankees here because Cole was the best pitcher on the planet coming
00:21
into this year and he's a top five pitcher in Major League Baseball to go into next year
00:25
as well.
00:26
But don't sleep on Tanner Bybee.
00:27
Bybee is really good.
00:29
I have no idea how long the lead is going to be for Bybee.
00:32
Is it going to be four?
00:33
Is it going to be six?
00:34
I would like to see six, but you've got the off day and you mentioned, Joe, like you have
00:39
that big four of Smith, Heron, Gattis, Class A, turn to them.
00:44
The script that I feel like Steven Vogt would build for this game is Bybee gives them five
00:50
and then you go to Heron for the sixth, Cade for the seventh, Gattis for the eighth, Class
00:55
A for the ninth, and all those guys get an inning of work.
00:58
You go into the off day and then you try to run it back in Cleveland.
01:01
I feel like that is the way that they are going to approach this.
01:05
We'll see what happens at the Yankees slap two on Bybee.
01:08
I could see Vogt pulling in early plug on Bybee.
01:13
I don't think that is the right vision here because Matt Boyd went to in his final start
01:20
and Alex Cobb, you know, like it's kind of a it's a fight to get to three with Cobb.
01:27
You have a guy that's really good in Tanner Bybee.
01:30
Let him try and work five innings at two run ball and I hope that he does.
01:34
Tanner Bybee started both games one and four in the ALDS against the Tigers.
01:39
The Guardians won both of those games.
01:41
He allowed just two earned total runs in eight and two thirds innings of work.
01:47
So it is an ace's affair today in the Bronx.
01:50
Of course, Gary Cole delivered in game four when the Yankees needed it most to quench
01:55
the American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals.
01:59
Again, that is the pitching matchup today.
02:01
Jack, the Yankees are a hefty favorite with Cole on the bump.
02:04
They were greater than a $2 favorite yesterday to win game one.
02:08
They do so.
02:09
They're a minus 360 favorite to win the American League pennant to win their first pennant
02:14
in the American League in 15 years since their last World Series championship in 2009.
02:21
We have talked about a favorable path for New York.
02:24
We have talked about the pressure that ensues with that perceived favorable path.
02:29
How long will this American League championship set go against Cleveland?
02:35
I have five.
02:37
I know a couple of my co-hosts have six.
02:41
Soto is Soto and playoff Stanton is a thing.
02:45
And Aaron Judge, I do think that the struggles are over-documented, if that's a thing.
02:51
I mean, this guy, like I understand that the numbers do not look that good this postseason,
02:56
but at the end of the day, nobody's really pitching to him because they know that Aaron
03:00
Judge hitting 133 in the postseason or not could be the guy that hits a ball 470 off
03:05
of them at the wrong time.
03:07
So I do think that this lineup is running laps around the Guardians lineup, but I love
03:13
Jose Ramirez and Lane Thomas has had a had a heck of a postseason, but you cannot look
03:18
at the starting nine for the Cleveland Guardians and the starting nine for the New York Yankees
03:23
and tell me that they look the same.
03:25
And I love the Cleveland bullpen.
03:28
You got to have a lead to hand it off to the Cleveland bullpen.
03:31
And I have no idea if we're going to be able to do that, you know, more than twice.
