BT and Sal celebrated the Yankees' routine return to the postseason, acknowledging it's an accomplishment that's often taken for granted in New York. Despite losing Gerrit Cole and Juan Soto, and overcoming early-season struggles like Devin Williams' high ERA, the team pivoted successfully with players like Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, and a stellar bullpen rebuilt at the deadline. The hosts agreed that while the Yankees are held to an impossibly high standard and have flaws, their consistent ability to be in the hunt—and potentially win the division—is something all fans should appreciate, especially compared to the struggles of other local teams. The focus now shifts to whether this flawed, yet dangerous, team can finally cap off a season with a World Series title.
