BONUS: ALCS Game 1 Reaction (10/14/24)

The Chase for 28

The Yankees kicked off the ALCS with a commanding 5-2 victory over the Guardians, fueled by a stellar performance from Carlos Rodón. After a rocky start in the previous round, Rodón bounced back with six innings of dominance, striking out nine while allowing just three hits. Juan Soto and Giancarlo Stanton provided the offensive firepower, each launching home runs to give the Yankees an early advantage in the series.

In this episode, we’ll dive into how Rodón channeled his energy to silence Cleveland’s bats and how his performance was inspired by Gerrit Cole’s composure in the ALDS. We'll also break down Soto’s approach at the plate, Stanton’s continued postseason power surge, and the importance of winning Game 1 in a best-of-seven series. The Yankees are rolling, and we’ll discuss what’s next as they look to extend their ALCS lead in Game 2.
