Stephen A. CANNOT CONTAIN HIS EXCITEMENT over the New York Yankees’ ALDS win 🙌 | First Take

Whoa. What’s up, doggy? What up, baby? What’s going on, baby? Let me Did you see it? Did you see it? If it bow, drugs go deep. If it’s fair, it’s his moment. And it is. I This is what I’ve been waiting for right here. This is what I’m talking about. This is what y That is what we expect to see from Yankees. Okay. That is what we expect to see. And we had How you doing, Peter? I’m great. It’s good to see you, man. Oh my goodness. Oh, this beautiful. And then you see my my brother Chaz that just and flipped the bed. Oh lord. I mean, it was special. This is what it’s all about. Now that’s the Yankees. I know. That’s the Yankees. I know. Let’s go. What was the call from Joe Davis? What was it? It was so deep. If it’s fair, it’s his moment. And it is. Oh, that was a great call. That was a great call. That’s That’s one of the moments right there. See, this is what we’re accustomed to. 20 right now. That’s true. It It’s just It’s just a little bit different being the Met. Just a little bit different. The Mets. It’s just a little bit different to go to the Mets because he thought they had a better future than the Yankees did. Really won. That’s what you want. Well, you know what? And he thought and honest and fairness to him. Judge did come into the postseason betting 205. But this and then even though listen, he’s bet 500. Okay. But singles and one double last night and then the home run. I mean, this is what it is. And good defense. Datch, the diving catch. Let’s talk judge. Has he now erased the narrative that he comes up small and not so fast? Okay, these are the Yankees. We have standards. They can’t say that yet. One game does not does not cement you in Ly. Now, had that been to win the series, that might have been a different animal. But you can’t stick up the joint last tonight after you know what happened last night. You got to follow through. They won and eight in Toronto. You know, you got to handle your business. You got a winning record against Toronto at Yankee Stadium. I expect more of the same tonight. I expect more of the same tonight. Hey, Aaron Boon, you see what happens when you play Chisum. You see what happens when you play him. You leave that man alone. Okay? That’s what you need. All right. And Judge Bat 500. You had Stan. He got a hit. I mean, you had a few people that showed up. I’m very, very happy. I’m very happy right now. But you got to close the deal. You got to follow up, okay, in game four. Then you got to go back to Toronto where you’re one and eight and you got to you got to shred those demons, man. That’s what you have to do. But they’re very capable of doing it. Not impossible. You see now if your damn pitching staff free a heel combined RA 16.8. What the hell is going on with the money these brothers getting paid? got two top 10 paid pitchers in the national in the major league and that’s your erra. That is unacceptable. But the relievers came in. Okay. The relievers came in and they handled their business. Shut out ball defense showed up and the judge made a judgment. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. And he and I do think Freed if they get to a game five will pitch a lot better that he did in game. Can he pitch much worse? I can’t. I am not a Rodon fan, so I’m not surprised by that. Uh this to me now you you handle the judge thing. This now is a fascinating scenario. Okay. Because the Blue Jays as you said the the kid pitcher tonight he was tremendous and a p and a Blue Jays a pitch in a bullpen game. That’s right. So big you got to win the night’s game. I would think they would. And then you go game five on Friday night in Toronto at 22. The Canadians hate Americans right now because of the 51st states. There you go. So that will add some juice to it. Jazz and pressure and pressure for the Blue Jays. Guerrero has showed up. We got to give love to him. He has showed up. He’s amongst three games. If we get to a fifth game, that will be a big time ball game on Friday. Well, you crawl before you walk. That was a game they had to have last night. You got to win the night. That kid was spectacular. Yeah, of course. If he reloc at Yankee Stadium, too, with everybody hyped. I mean, did you see the crowd? Did you see the crowd last night? Did you see? Did you see how electric it was? It’s special. It’s just special right there. Even on the TV screen, you felt like you were there. It was special. It’s just a beautiful thing when the right guy shows up. Got to remember this is the most storied Yankee of all time to have never won a World Series. We’re talking about Aaron Judge outside of outside of Don Manning. You understand who the league MVP and the ninetime cold gold club glover. I mean, Donnie Baseball. I mean, we know who he is. Judge wasn’t showing up in the postseason and now he showed up last night. And if that continues the way that is expected to galvanize the rest of the Yankees, yes, there will be a game five. It will be in Toronto. It will be Friday night. Okay. And the Canadians are going to apply that pressure to the Toronto Blue Jays. I think Guerrero can handle it. I don’t know if anybody else they have can. And that is what I’m banking. You got to hope on Gallatin pitching if you’re a Blue Jay fan. Remember too, yesterday the Yankees down 6-1, right? So it wasn’t like Judge hit a home run at 0. They they chipped away. They recovered from a five run deficit. They tied it up and now and then Chis with the I mean it’s just like and going around the B. That’s what I’m talking that’s the flavor I’m looking for. That’s what I’m talking about. They go to the dugout and they they look at the camera a big judge looked at that camera from Spencer Tracy. looked at that time. But that’s what we’re that’s what we’re looking for. I loved it. Thank you to my Yankees for coming through and reminding us what Yankee baseball is supposed to be about. Let’s go. It’s good. Good way to start the day here. I got a couple Yankee fans I’m working with today. What a disgrace. My god, man. You may continue. [Music]
