BT and Sal dive into the dramatic ALDS Game 3, dissecting the Yankees' epic comeback win over a "dead on arrival" Blue Jays squad. They unleash a fiery breakdown of Toronto's predictable collapse—marked by sloppy defense, poor managing, and a blown 6-1 lead—that confirmed the Blue Jays are "paper tigers."

We'll also look at Max Fried's struggles, Will Warren's tough relief outing, and the Yankees' late rally led by Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton that came far too late.

On this playoff bonus episode of Deep Left Field, we go over the Blue Jays' blowout of the New York Yankees in Game 1 of their ALDS on Saturday, the Jays' first post-season win in nine years and one that snapped a seven-game playoff losing streak. Many demons were slayed, especially by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who doubled his career playoff hit total and tripled his career playoff RBI total in a game that also included his first-ever post-season home run. Also, we open up the mailbag to talk playoff roster, pitching rotation, the crowd, the vibes, the white-panel hats and more!
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker break down the Blue Jays' 10-1 win over the Yankees in Game 1 of the ALDS at the Rogers Centre! They take your calls and texts, and get right to the late offensive explosion - how important were those late-game swings from Nathan Lukes and Andrés Giménez? They discuss Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smashing his first career postseason home run, and Alejandro Kirk coming through again with a pair of long bombs. Plus, they chat about Kevin Gausman grabbing the win, the bullpen looking sharp, and what's to come in Game 2.

The Yankees' postseason run hit its first bump north of the border as Toronto dominated Game 1 of the ALDS with a 10–1 victory at Rogers Centre. Despite the lopsided score, host Chris Nesi reminds fans that the effort on the field wasn't nearly as bad as the final line suggested. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on a two-way clinic, flashing leather and launching a homer, while Alejandro Kirk surprised everyone with two of his own.Luis Gil's short outing forced the Yankees to tap deep into their bullpen—using six pitchers—and things unraveled from there. But even in the loss, Chris remains confident the Yankees will bounce back, predicting a four-game series win with Max Fried taking the mound against rookie Trey Yesavage in Game 2. With Rodón and Schlittler lined up for Games 3 and 4, the path to the ALCS is still wide open. Plus, Chris breaks down key at-bats, bullpen decisions, and why the offense must wake up fast if the Yankees want to “Chase for 28” to stay alive.Bullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podConnect with us on Instagram @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch
