00:00Yes, recency bias certainly at stake here when I say that last

00:08night in Cleveland in game three of the ALCS between the

00:11Guardians and the Yankees was one of the best playoff

00:14baseball games.

00:16I have ever witnessed and it was a thrill game three first in

00:22Cleveland.

00:23The Yankees up two games to zip having won both in the Bronx.

00:27The Guardians had a 6-1 lead entering the eighth Emmanuel

00:31Class A who has struggled and did struggle last night in the

00:36postseason on the bump.

00:37You're feeling good.

00:38If you're Steven Vogt and the Guardians to get your first

00:41victory in this American League Championship Series and Aaron

00:45Judge who did hit a home run at the end of game number two to

00:49add on for the Yanks, but had been mostly quiet so far in this

00:53playoff run for the Pinstripes was up at the dish a 3-2 game

00:59and Aaron Judge or excuse me a 3-1 game and Aaron Judge delivers

01:03his second consecutive game with a home run a two run shot to

01:07tie it at three Giancarlo Stanton next up.

01:10He's been red hot at the dish this postseason a solo shot against

01:14Class A who will talk about in just a moment.

01:17The Yankees go back to back.

01:19They hold a 4-3 lead in the ninth.

01:21Glaiver Torres adds on some insurance.

01:24They turn it over to Luke Weaver with a 5-3 lead in the ninth

01:28inning who had been sensational so far this postseason for the

01:33Yanks in their first four wins Weaver was in there to shut the

01:36door and record a save but last night down to their final out a

01:42runner-on for Big Christmas.

01:45John Kenzie Noel 1-0 count and absolutely clobbers a baseball

01:51over the left field wall ties it at five.

01:54We go to extra innings and in the home half of the 10th David

01:58Friday all-star for Cleveland delivers a two-run walk-off shot

02:03that sends the entirety of the land into a frenzy the Guardians

02:08walk it off for their first victory in the LCS in game number

02:123 7 to 5 the win for Cleveland.

02:16And a much-needed win for Cleveland.

02:19That is for sure.

02:21But I mean if you go back to the outing and I think this all

02:25started with the fact that what they got from Boyd in this

02:29game was absolutely huge for the Guardians because what they

02:34had not done in the previous two games was play with any sort

02:38of lead and that is really kind of messes them up.

02:42They are a team that can utilize that bullpen when they have

02:45a lead and they have not had that at all during this series

02:49and sure enough Boyd because of the Yankees inability to be

02:54able to hit lefties in any way shape or form this year.

02:57I mean the Yankees went 73 and 45 against righty starters

03:01during the regular season.

03:02That was the best record in baseball, but then they only went

03:0521 and 23 against lefty starters.

03:08So Boyd coming out giving you five innings like he did keeping

03:12the the bats quiet and giving you an opportunity to play from

03:15the lead.

03:16You don't think when Class A is in the game.

03:19We're going to be having the kind of game that we ended up

03:22having it would have been very sweet 3-1 game is over, but

03:25I'll tell you this guys.

03:28This is the postseason where no closer is safe.

03:32I don't care who you are.

03:33We've seen Devin Williams lose games walk off games.

03:37We've seen that Weaver.

03:38We've seen Class A.

03:40We saw Edwin Diaz when you go down a list of closers that

03:44we have seen blow games in this postseason.

03:47I don't think any lead is safe anymore here, but.
