David, Justin and James recap where the Yankees fell short in the ALCS, and how natural it feels to second-guess every single move in the wake of the team losing. The crew believes that while pitching decisions could have been questioned, the offense was the culprit. Justin wonders how the Astros make the postseason not look like a crapshoot. They all agree something was off with how the Yankees operated the shortstop position this year, which didn’t do Isiah Kiner-Falefa any favors. The off-season will be a domino effect with Aaron Judge’s free agency. In the NLCS, the crew discusses the Padres decision to leave Josh Hader in the bullpen and not face Bryce Harper in the eighth inning of Game 5. They also praise Dave Dombrowski and explain why all other organizations can take something away from his approach.
