Giancarlo Stanton homered because the Guardians didn’t walk him, a breakdown

row says swing if you want he says I

don't want to okay fine bases are loaded

what do we care we wanted to pitch

around you to get the righty up and to

get the bottom of the order up and it's

an instant pop out and then he goes

after rokio who ends up putting a good

bat together but strikes out on the

curve there inning over they loaded the

bases on purpose it did not hurt them in

game two later on Clay Holmes he's

better against righties than lefties so

again gimnez is up and he says dude if

you want to swing at these have fun

otherwise I'm pitching around you to go

after Hedges because he's a righty he's

not the best hitter he's a great

defensive catcher and we'll just attack

him don't care if we load the bases

we'll take the risk almost swung at the

slider way away tunneling is crazy and

he gets the inning ending strikeout so

the Yankees all series were pitching

carefully to people choosing their

matchups keeley's great against lefties

he attacks jram right there strike one

next ball pop out runner on first next

Lefty comes up nailor strike one strike

two strike three you're done here comes

ay not the best matchup there's two outs

there's a lefty coming up next Lane

Thomas if you want to chase these

pitches go ahead but we're not coming in

the zone no interest we'll just throw

you to first base who cares if that puts

a runner in scoring position I like

facing lefties there's a change up right

in the zone you thought I was missing my

spots no there's another one there's a

ground out can Ley covers inning over

you're out the Yankees were very smart

about this if you don't think this is

real you're like a doubter we got to

interview Aaron Boon manager of the

Yankees and I talked to him about how

they did this so well I thought you guys

did a really good job pitching around

people and finding the matchups you

wanted yeah I thought our pitchers did a

good job and I thought it's a good point

by you on the cousins pitch around

Naylor there Clay did it earlier in the

series where he pitched around oh who

was Jimenez Jimenez with Hedges on Deck

you know he was going to be very careful

it's just really good execution I

thought all his pitches to Jimenez were

like all right if you're going to get

yourself out so be it but I'm taking my

shot on the next guy so those are little

things in the game that are big you know

our guys did a good job of that here we

have it again there's two on there's two

outs bottom and fifth lighter is on the

bump and jram is a scary batter so what

they do is they say hey lighter throw

the first pitch see if he chases it if

he doesn't okay he didn't let's just put

him on first base and take our chances

on the next guy it's better for us so

they intentionally walk him after the

first pitch to load the

bases they only need one more out the

Yankees loaded the bases on purpose so

many times next batter the righty High

curveball grounds out inning over threat

averted by walking a guy on purpose and

saying here you go dude we don't want to

deal with you now the Guardians did do

this a couple times they intentionally

walked stto to get to judge early in the

series and on this at bat they clearly

wanted nothing to do with stto and they

say dude if you're not going to chase

these pitches just go to first base

because they say two ball all right

comes to me I'm going to go to you and

we'll get judged into a double play but

judge doesn't hit the double play hits

one really hard past rokio maybe if it

was a little softer they would have

turned two that would have been fun but

instead it's just out of his reach and

the Yankees have Jazz up next and they

have him lay down a bunt which I thought

was a little risky because now they can

pitch around Stanton and or they can

just put Stanton on first base because

JN Carlos Stanton is unbelievable in the

postseason for his whole career and

especially this year it's like a

firework display so thinking oh they're

not going to give him much to hit here

right first pitch in the zone and Stan's

thinking okay all right next pitch out

of the zone so maybe that was the one in

the zone and the rest going to chase

they're excited about it oh yeah next

one outside three fast balls in a row

come on come on come on one two another

fast ball in the zone and Stan hits a

three-run homer a one-run game quickly

becomes a four-run game in the sixth

inning the Yankees he'll run around

celebrating there laughing like what are

you doing first base is open he's a home

run threat he's dancing he's smiling he

enjoys it he's like yeah keep giving me

pitches boom give me fast balls that

don't move and I can just bang them oh

so then in game five Yankees win

and they move on and the Guardians are

eliminated the Guardians have a two

nothing lead there's two outs they need

one more out there's a runner on third

second base is open first base is open

guess who's up John garlo Stan behind

him is Jaz Chisum who's having a very

tough series at the plate choose your

battles would the Yankees have pitched

to him no they already proved they're

going to even walk lesser guys just to

get to the better matchup catcher says

outside okay let's see if he chases and

curveball way outside he does swing and

Miss now maybe if he doesn't swing and

miss and he takes that for a

ball they just walk him the same way the

Yankees did to jram earlier in this game

but he swung at it in my head I was like

that's bait Stan knows that now they're

going to pitch to him because they got a

head they got a strike if that's a ball

they don't pitch to him that's bait and

now catcher says in the dirt get it down

it's going to be a change up low he

swings over that he's in a hole 02 okay

okay all right they're feeling good come

on let's

go ah excited look fist pump here we go

they're going to go outside again with a

slider and Stan says nah dude I only

swung at that because I wanted you to

keep pitching to me throw it again come

in the zone come in the zone make a

mistak says get it down let's go

curveball dirt Stan does not chase the

fans they still got two strikes they're

excited they're looking the same sharing

glasses feeling good I'm getting chips

chips oh chips okay change up you can

see his grip going to the change up you

can see the catcher saying two2 let's

get this up above the Zone above the

Zone ball now it's three and two you got

him two strikes do you want to make a

pitch he says put it in the zone put it

in the zone put it in the zone make a

mistake put it in the zone and they're

going to try and go outside again with

the same pitch they started with they're

going to try and go outside believe

that's what they're doing first and

second base are open don't screw this

pitch up oh you screwed it up you put it

in the zone and now he hit a two-run

home run there was no need slams The

Bat ah let's go go ah they're so

excited

let's go

boy and look at oh oh no why why why

would you do that why would the pitcher

even allow that to happen force force

wel there was no need I can't believe

they even put themselves in a situation

where they could miss a spot he's

obviously not trying to put that in the

zone but as a manager you got to not

even let that happen this John Carlos

Stan had 10 hits in this series five of

them were home runs they were all pretty

impactful and that is just a boom and

look oh he doesn't even look oh my

goodness gracious oh that sucks we were

live streaming the game during our watch

alongs had like 9,000 people watching

with us this was our play byplay of this

at bat in live time it's is force ball

one and then throw up the force yeah I

mean if this is in the zone they're sick

okay little league catcher

setup GE whoa wait wait wait wait bait

him a little bit ba doesn't want to get

walked I don't back door change

up see that's why I didn't like the

first

one no we need a Stanton hit that's

similar to nailor the other day it's

like three balls off the plate oh yeah

yeah yeah he just goes with it nah just

miss a spot and hit another Homer that's

also fine you're

standing yeah all right don't try to

sneak one past him

make a mistake should be off the plate

why would you put this in the

zone he wants to swing he doesn't want

to

H are you

guys yes I was more mad at them for

terrible baseball strategy than happy

with stand for hitting a home run it's a

weird thing that I do that I wish I
