ALDS: Blue Jays vs. Yankees

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker chat about the New York Yankees advancing to the ALDS over the Boston Red Sox, locking in a date against the Blue Jays. They get into New York's pitching, including Cam Schlittler's 12-strikeout masterpiece in Game 3, what else they've learned from the Yankees during the Wild Card series, and John Schneider officially declaring Kevin Gausman as the Game 1 starter. Then, ESPN analyst and two-time World Series winner Hunter Pence (12:21) stops by to discuss New York's performance over Boston, the blueprint for the Jays to take down the Bronx Bombers, and the impacts of the 5-day layoff. Afterwards, Blue Jays radio analyst Chris Leroux joins the guys (34:12) to weigh in on the two teams' velocity, game planning with pitch-tipping, who he expects to start in Game 2, and how Kevin Gausman should attack Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
