The Yankees live to see another day. A loss on Sunday could have meant two days, had the crazy AL wild-card scenario played out. But Aaron Judge walked it off and the Yankees now ship up to Boston for Tuesday night’s do-or-die wild-card game. A win over the Red Sox would mean a trip to Tampa for the ALDS. Will the Yankees get to Tampa?
We discuss that question and preview the matchup with the Red Sox on the latest “Pinstripe Pod” with Jeff Nelson and Chris Shearn, featuring a conversation with the newly retired Ken Singleton.
Pinstripe Pod Opening Segment with Chris, Jeff & Jake:
- PLAYOFF BOUND: It wasn’t exactly a pretty weekend, but the Yankees got the job done Sunday. All the mistakes of the past mean nothing now. It’s on to a new season beginning Tuesday in Boston.
- YANKEES-RED SOX PREVIEW: Trust in Gerrit Cole? Yankees are surprising favorites in this game. How will Alex Cora handle the game? The guys believe the Yankees will win the game.
