MLB Post Season podcast with Stephen Ruderman:

#1 The New York Yankees have advanced to the World Series with a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians in game five at Progressive Field in Cleveland. It’s the 41st time the Yankees have been to the World Series.

#2 The Yankees Juan Soto hit a three run home run in the top of the tenth inning which proved to be the game winner. The Yankees have been fortunate to figure out how to win games when behind.

#3 It was quite a series as the Yankees have dominated winning 4-1. The Yankees took the first two games of the series and the Guardians won game 3 but the Yankees never looked back winning games 4 and 5. The Yankees got some clutch hitting in the series and Saturday night was no different with Soto’s three run blast.

#4 Giancarlo Stanton has been a hitter in the post season for New York he hit a 446 foot home run that landed in the leftfield stands and tied the game up in the second inning. Talk about how big Stanton has been for the Yankees.

#5 The Yankees are in they’ll face either the Los Angeles Dodgers or New York Mets either way it’ll be a big market World Series just what the doctor ordered as there is no doubt MLB has got to be very happy about how things turned out.
