00:03Craig, let's go back to Game 3.

00:05The Dodgers win 4-2.

00:06Freddie Freeman, yet again, the hero.

00:08A two-run home run in the top of the first.

00:11Walker Buehler has been absolute nails

00:14since the second inning of Game 3 of the NLDS

00:17against San Diego.

00:19He has pitched 12 innings of shutout baseball.

00:23But, Craig, with what you saw in Game 3,

00:25was it indicative?

00:27Did it represent what you thought

00:29would be the key differences here in this World Series

00:32between L.A. and New York?

00:34Yeah, I give the Yankees a lot of credit.

00:36All season long, I thought they were pretty fraudulent.

00:40A couple of really good pitchers,

00:42a couple of really good hitters,

00:44made the jazz trade to sort of ignite the clubhouse,

00:48which it did for a while.

00:50But if you watch the Yankees this season,

00:53what you're seeing right now

00:55is indicative of what we saw

00:57at least twice, probably three times.

00:59And by the way, last year, too,

01:01where there were these pockets of times

01:03where they just really struggled to score runs.

01:06I guess the only difference is

01:08is that when that happened,

01:10Judge was hitting at that time,

01:12and I think it's exacerbated now

01:14because he's not hitting and it's happening, too.

01:16Judge hit all season long.

01:18So what's happened now is you're seeing what happened

01:20in early April and then in June and then in July,

01:22and then now it's happening again

01:24where they've just been an all-or-nothing team offensively.

01:26There were some signs of this against Cleveland.

01:29Remember, Cleveland was probably

01:31the least opportunistic team

01:33to play against them in the postseason.

01:35They had the bases loaded several times,

01:37one out, Yankees kept getting out.

01:39If you play those games over and over,

01:41I think Cleveland has a better result.

01:43But I give the Yankees credit for getting this far.

01:45I think it's a flawed team, Ben.

01:47And in order to change things up,

01:49they're going to have to add some offensive pieces

01:52this offseason to avoid this all-or-nothing result.
