Before we move ahead to the Division Series, Meredith Marakovits and I took a look back at Cam Schlittler’s insane AL Wild Card Series run for this week’s New York Yankees Pfficial Podcast. Check out the full episode at yankees.com/podcast or the podcast app of your choice.

Paul Goldschmidt batting here instead of Stanton makes me think that G was just here as a decoy for a first-time opposing manager to deal with. I wonder if he's on the ALDS roster …

That Willson Contreras homer breaks a 27.2 inning scoreless streak for the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series.

Gotta say — it felt like such a slog and it was 3:01. Five years ago, that game goes 3:45

Scoring change here in the Bronx — the seven combined runs that the Yankees scored in the seventh and eighth innings have actually been charged to Chad Tracy.

Ben Rice, a triple from the cycle, opts for the grand slam instead.

The Yankees have yet to strike out against the Boston bullpen tonight.

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Your manager just took approximately six minutes to stroll from the dugout to the mound.

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Can't you also just say that this is a particularly slow game?

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Eight of the Yankees' nine hits so far tonight, both RBI, and — obviously — the majority of the pitching has been the work of players drafted and developed by the organization.

001

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Red Sox No. 1 hitters (Roman Anthony twice, Monasterio once) have struck out in all three at-bats tonight, all on check swings

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Cam Schlittler is starting the 6th inning at 89 pitches. The Yankees should probably have someone warming.

000

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Ben Rice has two hits today — one crushed 110.3 in the first inning that went to the gap in right center, and the solo shot just now to Monument Park that he hit 108.

010

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

That was the first walk that Schlittler has allowed in his three postseason starts, over 19-plus innings so far.

If you flip your bat like that in a three-ball count, it should have the same force and effect as tapping your helmet, triggering a challenge.

I just found myself with some free time, so I counted, and it turns out that tonight's Yankees-Red Sox ALWC Game 1 will be the 107th MLB postseason game I've attended. Which means that Game 5 of the 2024 World Series — certainly memorable in a bad way for Yankees fans — was my 100th.

George Lombard Jr. will play in his first postseason game tonight. For the cover story in our 2026 Postseason edition of Yankees Magazine, I looked at a life spent making baseball look instinctual. www.mlb.com/yankees/news...

Joe, any time you have a chance to give a three-year deal to a manager who nearly went .500, you simply have to take it.

Conveniently, half the videos from last night have the QR codes for the clubhouse staff tips, so any fans concerned can chip in.

Please please please please please please tell me this production of Waiting For Lefty will be performed by men in bikini thongs on rollerblades

Waiting for Lefty
The actor Steven Pasquale makes his directing debut with this revival of Clifford Odets's 1935 play made famous by the Group Theatre, about the boiling tensions of a Depression-era New York cabdrivers' strike. The time is certainly ripe for some union-proud theater. (Clossic Stage
Company, October 15-November 22)

As I was saying, what if you could find a way to recreate the feel of a minor league rehab game for Aaron Judge but from the comfort of home? Special thanks to the Colorado Rockies for being so accommodating!

000

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Lots of talk about Aaron Judge skipping a minor league rehab assignment, but he's returning to face a Rockies pitcher with an 0-6 record and a 6.19 ERA.

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

This is 100% correct, a new version of Stanford changing the score on the axe. I hope that Michigan and Western Michigan create a trophy to exchange just so that they can make that tradition real. Both teams won, both teams lost.

Jon Schwartz @jonlschwartz.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I agree that it's not going to work, but it's absolutely the job of a conference to fight this as much as possible. The MAC's statement on Saturday night/Sunday morning was ludicrous. Why concede anything? Why have a conference office if it's not going to fight this?
