What happened in Game 2 of the ALDS between the Blue Jays and Yankees?
Alright, well thirteen seven. The Toronto Blue Jays beating the New York Yankees in the second game. Of this best of five ALDS, the Jays hitting five home runs for the first time in their postseason history. There is a crap ton of stuff to talk about. The numbers as always are four one six eight seven zero zero five ninety star five ninety one triple eight triple six zero five ninety. But Kevin, uh we've got to start with Trey Yasavage who told us all yesterday that he was built for this. Um I I don't think there's anything else he could have done to prove that he was absolutely right. He he was uh well, he was historic tonight. I mean that that's that's really the only way to describe it. Uh his nine strikeouts, that's the Blue Jay's single game playoff record.
He's the youngest pitcher in MLB history to allow No hits in a playoff start. He was in fact taken out uh with the no-hitter. He's the first pitcher in MLB history. All right, think about that. The first pitcher in MLB history with eleven strikeouts while allowing zero hits through the first five innings of a playoff game. Uh We saw history today.
Yeah, I mean that's sorta what uh you know the doctor ordered when you have a kid that you You know, make room for on a roster that you think is as good can come out and do exactly what he did. I mean, uh the just the way it started, the way he pitched. I it looked to me like he was pitching around Judge with the three split fingers in a row, the elevated four seamer, the four pitch walk, right? I mean it was you make your best pitch with your best secondary stuff. If you don't get him out in the first inning, you don't get him out. You know, you live to sort of fight the next battle. Matter of the right. And just sorta, you know, give yourself a little room for wiggle and That's exactly what happened.
And then he starts pounding the zone, that extreme down angle. I look, I've never faced a guy like that, but boy, it sure looked like he was making a bunch of good hitters look silly. And just the the inability to to pick that stuff up and know the difference between the three pitches. All the swing and misses that he got, how good the split finger was. It's the it's the iron mic thing. It's throwing it from basically behind his head at that velocity with that tunneling with three different pitches. I mean it's basically two, but he can sprinkle in the slider when he wants to sprinkle it in. And doing it with some deception.
And that's
exactly what happened. Yeah, uh I mean without question, uh Trey is savage. Like I said, the story of this game, at least part of the story. Odd game. I mean the Yankees came back against The blue jays bullpen. Perhaps that's a little bit of rust. Uh it was interesting that the guys who pitched yesterday were pretty good, Louis Varlin. The guys who didn't pitch yesterday you know, who who've gone through this layoff we're scuffling a bit. We'll talk about that in a few minutes and I'm sure John's John Schneider will address that himself in his media availability. But uh I mean Kevin again we've got to talk about the offense. Vladdy with a grand slam. Uh Dalton Varsho uh with a couple of home runs. Ernie Clement with a home run.
Again five George Springer with a home run. Five home run I mean this is a team we thought the Yankees were the team All we said was the Jays gotta keep the ball in the ballpark against the Yankees. Put that, you know, contact heavy offense into gear and away we go and you know, try to hold the Yankees to solo homers, et cetera, et cetera. But I mean i it's it's the Jays that have put the boots to the Yankees, at least in terms of the home run ball so far.
Yeah, I think you gotta give credit where credit's due, right? John Snyder putting Dalton Varshow in the lineup today with uh, you know, the bat path and I'm who's the only other lefty to get two hits off Max Freed? Well extra base hits
that's your basic that's O'Tani. Otani,
exactly, you know, it's I said this you when you asked me what what do you do against guys like Freed and I said you gotta attack your strengths.
