A decently fun fact
From OptaSTATS: The Yankees are the first team in MLB postseason history to be down by 5+ runs and in danger of being swept and come back to win the game. Teams had been 0-38 all-time when trailing by 5+ runs and trying to avoid a multi-game series sweep.

The Blue Jays have a bullpen game planned for Game 4. Beat them tonight and wreck them for tomorrow.

Boone left Rodón in way too long here, but what difference does it make? Other than the 11 batters Tim Hill and Camilo Doval faced in Game 1, the pitching just isn't competitive.

If you wanna stretch the comparison, 2001 had the Jeter Flip Play and 2017 had Judge robbing Lindor of a home run

Yankees have come back from 0-2 in a best-of-5 twice: 2001 ALDS vs OAK & 2017 ALDS vs CLE

Game 3’s were similar

2001: Mussina 7 IP, 0 R; Posada HR off Zito; won 1-0

2017: Tanaka 7 IP, 0 R; Bird HR off Miller; won 1-0

At the beginning of the year, Cam Schlittler sat at 93-94 mph and touched 96.

Now in the postseason, he was sitting at 99 mph and touched 101.

Why his increase in velocity is important for a lengthy MLB career: www.baseballamerica.com/stories/to-h...

The Boone era Yankees don't just lose in the postseason. They get embarrassed in historic ways. Brock Holt's cycle, Mike Brosseau's homer, the fifth inning last year, on and on.

The Blue Jays’ 23 runs are the most by a team in the first two games of a single postseason

Ernie Clement taking your ace deep means it's just not your series.

The Yankees should try hitting some of these home runs all these other teams are hitting this postseason.

The Yankees had the bases loaded with no outs and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the sixth, and scored one run. The Blue Jays had the bases loaded with one out and the 2-3-4 hitters due up in the seventh, and have scored three runs and counting. That's the game right there.

Weaver is just unusable now. Six batters this postseason, zero outs. Has to be the last guy in the bullpen going forward.

They needed more than one run there, but getting Gausman out in the sixth after how the first five innings went is a win in its own way.

They gotta get Gil outta there soon. Can't start him again in the postseason either. He hasn't been able to miss bats for over a month now.

Blackburn can go multiple innings. He's also been sneaky good the last few weeks.

On February 21st, 2020, Northeastern freshman Cam Schlittler got the start in a Spring Training exhibition against the Boston Red Sox.

5 years later, he pitched a gem against them in the Bronx 👏
