My fucking heart is being tested.
Game 3 of a tied ALDS on the road in a goddam nail biter.
Any moment could swing the series for either side.
As tight as it gets.
Not for the faint of heart.
Now I’ll be right up front about it.
I questioned if Stanton should be in the lineup today.
Then mid way through the game Stanton stole a base?
One of the more improbably things I’ve ever seen in sports.
Clearly Stanton was feeling himself and put things in another gear.
Great to see, just never saw it coming.
Later on he came up in the 8th inning and did what he does best, mash.
Aaron Judge can’t buy a hit right now.
Juan Soto was quiet.
Stanton took matters into his own hands.
As clutch as it gets to give the Yankees the lead.
That big son of a bitch came through once again.
It’s his calling card you lean on whenever he struggles in the regular season.
He handles all the tough questions like an absolute pro.
Faces the media when he’s struggling or can’t stay on the field.
I’m sorry for ever doubting him.
You know who else are studs?
Weaver going five outs for the save.
This call by Costas by the way, what are we doing?
I hate to be that guy who constantly rips on the broadcast.
It’s the postseason.
Even if you ignore Costas somehow, what about the camera shots?
Why are we obsessed with hearing George Brett’s life story?
Never seen anything like it at this stage in the season.
Either way, what a big time win.
Nothing comes easy with this team, but they’ve put themselves in a great position to move on.
Cole goes Thursday to try and end this thing and avoid a do or die Game 5.
How about you show up and earn your money?
Did what Cole or Rodon couldn’t in the previous games.
