00:00But I said this to some of my Yankee fan friends, members of my family that root for the Yankees.
00:06I don't know how you can watch that game and be confident in the New York Yankees.
00:13Maybe they can get past Kansas City and win this series, winning game one was obviously
00:16huge.
00:17I want someone to tell me in all seriousness, like how the Yankees are winning the World
00:21Series.
00:22If this is what it's going to be.
00:24I want them to win.
00:25I desperately want them to win.
00:27I'm a Yankees fan.
00:30How is it going to happen?
00:31If that's what Garrett Cole's going to be, as he shows everyone yet again, and it hasn't
00:36all been bad for Garrett Cole in his postseason career as a Yankee, but there are way too
00:40many stinkers for Garrett Cole, for anyone to truly feel confident every time this dude
00:46takes the bump, hashtag the bump, in a postseason game.
00:51Five innings, seven hits, two walks against the Kansas City Royals, game one at home,
00:54start the postseason off, not going to get the job done.
00:57Now there were some encouraging signs for the Yankees on Saturday.
01:00Loved to see Alex Verdugo get off the schneid, game winning hit in the bottom of the seventh.
01:05Loved to see much maligned Clay Holmes, who's brutal for the Yankees most of the year, an
01:09inning and two thirds of scoreless relief.
01:11The new closer Luke Weaver, an inning and a third, perfect relief, perfect relief ball
01:16from Luke Weaver to close out the game and give the Yankees the one nothing series lead.
01:21But again, I think starting pitching is going to be what does the Yankees in this postseason.
01:27You can't trust Garrett Cole and miss me with the Carlos Rodan optimism coming up for
01:32tonight's game.
01:33And if the starting pitching's not going to be good, and I don't think it's going to be,
01:37you're going to need the offense to carry the team.
01:39How is the offense going to carry the team if Aaron Judge keeps disappearing?
01:45Since 2020, Aaron Judge in the postseason, batting 135 with 28 strikeouts in 18 games.
01:56If that's what Judge is going to be, if this is what the starting pitching's going to be,
02:02how are the Yankees going to win it all?
02:05How are they going to win tonight?
02:07I'm a Yankee fan.
02:08I'm not betting the game.
02:09That's my strategy.
02:10I'm not betting Yankee games because I want to bet against them.
02:12My betting advice, plus 125 with Cole Reagans, easy bet, easy bet tonight on the Kansas City
02:18Royals.
02:19I'm guessing Femi and the Gamblers will agree we'll get their bets for the.
