A few questions the morning after the playoff clincher:
1. How confident are you that the Yankees will end up winning the division?
2. Do you have any preference for a potential playoff matchup?
3. Which player do you (irrationally?) think will have a monster playoff run?

Every radio host and caller should have that stat from @slangsonsports.bsky.social that was just read on the ESPN broadcast piped into their ears constantly. 23-24 is the BEST record for a team w/o hitting a homer. Teams win when they homer and lose when they don't. Very simple!

Not even a hint of dog in them.
No purported "good" team has ever had less juice than the 2025 Yankees.

This is an absolute given.
4. Extra innings with no “ghost runner”

Pregame list of things I want back in baseball:
1. 40 man September rosters (would settle for a lower number, but more than 28, please)

Pregame thought exercise:
Make a four pitch mix made up of your favorite Yankee pitches of all time: one fastball, one breaking ball, one offspeed pitch, and one of your choice. Caveat: You cannot use Mo's cutter. It's too easy to pick that.
