Part 2/13:
The hosts openly discuss the Yankees' recent postseason challenges. BT highlights how their approach at the plate has been all out of whack, especially noticeable in Game 1, where debuting pitcher Heel struggled and the team was roughed up by opposing star pitcher Max Fried. Rodriguez points out how dominant top-tier pitchers like Fried and the underrated starting pitcher Sergio Savastano (referred to as "Savage") have been in neutralizing the Yankees' offense.
Rodriguez recalls the memorable performance of Savastano, comparing it to Mike Scott’s mastery against the Mets in the 1986 World Series. He emphasizes that elite pitching can be the ultimate equalizer, especially when the opposing team’s offense struggles to adapt—a recurring theme in postseason baseball.
