00:00So, the Royals made the most of their time in the Bronx.

00:06All they really wanted to do was get one out of two, and they did.

00:10And now they'll go back to Kansas City for games three and four.

00:14And Matt, you know, to me, and look, Yankees could easily win the series.

00:18I'm not discounting anything.

00:19But doesn't it feel the same every year with this team?

00:22Like they get to the postseason, they forget that you're going to have to rely on ace-type

00:27pitching to win in these series and not hitting seven, eight home runs over a two-day period.

00:33I just, I don't know what has changed from last year to this year.

00:37Yankees seem like the same team.

00:38Yeah, they really do.

00:39I mean, the bottom line for them, I think, is not only do you need to get the pitching,

00:44but you're going to need to get big hits from your big players.

00:47And there's no bigger player than Aaron Judge, and he hasn't been great in the playoffs.

00:51Let's just call it what it is.

00:52I mean, he has to start coming through at some point.

00:55We know what the pressure is like in the Bronx.

00:58Even someone as beloved as him is eventually going to start hearing it.

01:01So he's got to do it, and the team's got to come through as a whole.

01:05I think the Royals right now, they feel as if they're playing with nothing to lose.

01:09They're the scrappy underdogs.

01:11They're going to have the whole, say, Patrick Mahomes is going to be there.

01:13You got to get inspired when Patrick Mahomes is in your ballpark, as he talked about yesterday.

01:18So I definitely think that game three is going to be pivotal.

01:21I mean, they all are.

01:22But that's going to be a fascinating game and series.

01:26And someone's got to come through, bottom line.

01:28Someone has to start coming through for the Yankees.

01:29They have the players to do it.

01:31They certainly paid enough for them.

01:33Now it's just, let's do it.
