Part 9/12:
Throughout the conversation, the hosts analyze the rivalry with the Blue Jays, noting that while they were evenly matched over the regular season, the Blue Jays got the better of them in head-to-head matchups and this series. Interestingly, many argue that the Blue Jays are a better baseball team overall, especially because they execute high-contact, low-strikeout strategies that tend to prevail in October under postseason pressures.
On paper, the Yankees have a superior collection of talent, but the Blue Jays’ style—more contact-oriented and consistent—seems to give them an edge in crucial moments. This challenges the narrative that raw talent alone guarantees success, emphasizing the importance of team strategy and execution in postseason baseball.
