The New York Yankees find themselves in a hole, after striking out 17 times in losing to the Houston Astros, 4-2, in Game One of the ALCS on Wednesdsay night.  In this episode, I detail why the Astros continue to be the Yankees' nemesis.  

I also delve into the NLCS between the San Diego Padres and the Philadelphia Phillies and why you can make the case the Padres' win on Wednesday was a statement game, without setting the Phillies back on their heels.
