The season is on the line! After two truly embarrassing losses to the Toronto Blue Jays up north, the Yankees return to Yankee Stadium for a must-win Game 3 to try and keep their ALDS hopes alive. Hosts Anthony and Dave dive into the wreckage of the first two games: - Game 1 Breakdown: Where did the pitching and offense go so wrong in the 10-1 shellacking? - Stages of Grief: Anthony chronicles his emotional descent through the stages of grief during the Game 2 disaster. - The Luke Weaver Enigma: The guys discuss Luke Weaver's recent, alarming struggles and what to read between the lines of his "not lining up" post-game interview. Can he be trusted again? - Lineup Woes: The conversation turns to the batting order, specifically the shocking lack of "thump" and clutch hits from the heart of the lineup. Finally, producer Brian joins the mic for a heavy discussion on Aaron Boone's job security if the Yankees are swept in Game 3. We wrap up with some crucial Yankees Playoff Trivia that provides a faint glimmer of historical hope for a miraculous comeback in this Division Series! Learn more about your ad choices.
