00:03Yesterday in the Bronx, the Bronx Bombers 6, the Cleveland Guardians 3, the series

00:08now sits at 2-0.

00:09How did we get here?

00:10Obviously a game, one victory for the New York Yankees, but game number two for me was

00:14very interesting.

00:15At a low total, Dubzy, around that seven range, because you had two good pitchers that were

00:19on the mound.

00:20Now, playoff baseball, so much different, Dubzy, than regular season action.

00:24Wybie goes one and third innings pitched, five hits, two earned runs, three total runs,

00:30and only two strikeouts, and they immediately went to their closer in the second inning.

00:34Because there is no tomorrow if you're losing games to go down 0-2.

00:38Now, granted, do they have a chance to come back in the series?

00:40Yes, they do.

00:41But it just shows you those leverage situations.

00:44You don't just let your pitcher work through and say, I need five, six, or seven innings

00:48to save my bullpen.

00:49You can't do that anymore.

00:50And on the opposite side, Gary Cole, the ace for the New York Yankees, four in a third

00:55innings pitch, six runs, two earned, four walks, four K's in 89 pitches.

01:00He wasn't even that good, and quite frankly, Dubzy, if you told me Cole doesn't even get

01:04into the sixth inning, probably would think the Guardians win that game.

01:07They didn't.

01:08The Yankee bats showed up, which includes Aaron Judge, who's been MIA this entire playoff

01:12run.

01:13Three RBI performance for him last night.

01:15The Yankees pick up a massive game to win.

01:19Let's go.

01:20The pinstripes now leading the series to nothing, and it all was about Aaron Judge, all rise

01:25for the big fella.

01:26That was the first-time run of the postseason.

01:29I know we highlighted before going on a break, but really just hasn't found that spark.

01:33So maybe this is what Aaron Judge needs just to find a bit of confidence to go through

01:38the rest of this series and squaring off against Cleveland.

01:41And Donnie, you said you've got to play like there's no tomorrow, but there is a game three

01:46coming up on Thursday back in Cleveland.

01:49And when you see the amount of arms that they went through, the resources that they had

01:52to use up in a taxing outing last night, and still to come up short, they're getting best

01:57at 6-3, wasn't a great spot for the Guardians on Tuesday night, and suddenly they are right

02:02up against it.

02:03So for the Yankees going into that game, heavily favored, minus 170, minus 175, there or thereabouts.

02:09This was a commanding victory.

02:11They got off to a flyer of a start for the Guardians.

02:13They just couldn't get back in to this one.

02:16So the Overs, Cashes, the Yankees, they get the big score.

02:19Now we turn it to Thursday night there, but for the Pinstripes, Donnie, I mean, they go

02:24as far as their superstars go, the likes of Stanton, Juan Soto, and for Aaron Judge, they

02:29absolutely need the big fella.

02:31They need him to get through this series, and they're going to need him if they're going

02:34to make a bit of a tilt there at the World Series as well.

02:38So great to see the big fella find a bit of form again.
