00:00Last night, game number one, Yankees getting involved, five to two.
00:08They take it.
00:09A tremendous performance from Carlos Rodon.
00:12They got an early home run from Juan Soto.
00:15Guardians then threw, what was it, four or five wild pitches that allowed the Yankees
00:19to run around the bases and get some more runs.
00:22And then you had the put-away shot late from Giancarlo Stanton on WFAN in New York.
00:29Now the 0-1 is headed in the air to left center.
00:30It is high.
00:31It is far.
00:32It is gone.
00:33A Stantonian home run.
00:34Giancarlo.
00:35Santon, who is a terrific postseason player, bangs out another one, and the Yankees have
00:56a 5-1 lead.
00:57Well, there you have it.
00:58The old man calling another Giancarlo home run.
01:03Look, this guy Stanton is, I mean, he's postseason money.
01:08I mean, he's already passed Reggie Jackson.
01:11He sailed past him in the Royals series.
01:13And now he's just like, he's putting up numbers that are, you know, ungodly.
01:20Like it's just crazy what this guy is doing.
01:22I pray to God that he makes it from now through the World Series, if they get to the World
01:30Series, which they have to.
01:31They have to beat this team.
01:33Now, yesterday, Scoop Mitch told me that the Guardians are going to win the series.
01:36They're the better team.
01:38And I just know that I come from the other side of the river, which says they have to
01:42beat this team.
01:43You cannot not go to the World Series because you lost the Cleveland Guardians.
01:48Honestly, I don't care what anybody says.
01:51So that guy, if he can stay healthy, because his legs are like peanut brittle.
01:57I mean, a guy walks down the street.
02:01He's going to get injured going to the bathroom at night from the bed to the toilet.
02:05That's how bad his legs are.
02:07So I worry about him being able to play every game over what could amount to 13 more games
02:14if they both went seven.
02:16So let's just face facts.
02:18He is their best player in the postseason, hands down.
02:21It is amazing to me what Stanton has done and what Judge has done nothing.
02:25Aaron Judge, he had a sat fly or something.
02:28Christ, I almost fell over.
02:31He has been utterly embarrassing in the postseason, Judge.
02:35Every time he comes to the plate, it's an automatic out.
