The Last Play to End Every Yankees Season Since 2018

Here he comes, the one-two, bouncing ball, going to be a tough play, Nunez gloves, throws, and time for the outs! The Red Sox will celebrate, but there will be a challenge you can guarantee. Put the pause button on, they're going to look at this one. Thank you. And this game will either be extended, with the bases loaded, or the Red Sox are going to win. This division series on a challenge. Nunez shake it up. Remember Aaron Boone told us the only time he ever challenged all season long without getting on the phone was the last play of the game. In the replay era this is a game that could end with an umpire's headset. Look at the stretch by Pierce. In the glove. That's an out. That's going to be an out. And the Red Sox win. That's an American League Championship Series is what that is for Boston. What a stretch by Pierce. We've seen a couple of those this series. Red Sox know they've got it. But it's not official. Mitel brings us this replay review. Can you believe this game's going to end with a challenge? Here comes the call. He is out. And that's it. The Boston Red Sox win the division series. Three out of four against the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox are headed to the American League Championship Series. For the 11th time in Red Sox franchise history, they go to the ALCS. It is the first time since 2013, which was a World Series title year for Boston. What a finish to this game, Ron. Boy, Kimbrell struggled through his ninth inning, but it was the pitchers. Porcello with five strong innings, Barnes, Brazier, and then Sale out of the bullpen. Castillo in his second inning of work. He's gotten five outs thus far, one walk, he struck out four. Gio Urshela, last hope for the Yankees to try to extend it in this ninth inning. And he hits a bullet, oh, and that's it, it's over. The Tampa Bay Rays, in five games, take down the Yankees. And the Rays are headed to the American League Championship Series. Diego Castillo picks up the victory, closes the door. Pitches the final two innings and it was a succession of multi-inning outings for all of the Rays pitchers tonight and the Rays are moving on to face the Astros in the ALCS. A brave effort by Glass now on two days rest, got seven outs with a couple of strikeouts and then the bullpen. Anderson did give up the home run to Judge but then Fairbanks and Castillo closed the door. And after he was thrown at with a 100-mile-an-hour pitch at his head, the next day Mike Brasso hit two home runs. Show what kind of character that he has. And then tonight, in the biggest at-bat for the Rays, the homers against the guy that buzzed them. And, Matt, I'm going to make a prediction here for next year. Garrett Cole will be your American League Cy Young winner. And the sophomore season here in New York is so much easier than the first one. And Stanton's a great example of that. Torrance sends a fly ball out to right, Hunter Renfroe's got it, and the Red Sox have a date with the Rays. A Red Sox team that missed the expanded postseason altogether just a year ago, finishing 24-36, Six. playing in their first ever wildcard game. They previously played as a wildcard team that advanced all the way to a series, but in terms of the single elimination night, Boston into unchartered territory, and they come out of it a winner. Team with the best record in the American League, the Astros. A strike away. One ball, two strikes. Judge on the ground. Presley's got it. Easy flip. Ball game over. And the Houston Astros win the American League pennant. The Astros are going back to the World Series. Back-to-back seasons for the fourth time in the last six years. A dominating performance and a dominating postseason for the Astros. A perfect 7-0 to start this postseason. I'll tell you what, we've covered the Astros all seven games. Ronnie, I know the Dodgers have the best record in all of baseball this year. This is the most complete team I've seen all year in baseball. When you talk about starting pitching, bullpen dominance, and the offense, the length of it. 7-0 in the postseason. Best team in the American League. MacArthur deals. And Pereira goes around, and that will do it for 2023. Yankees lose this game 5-2. They finish the season 82-80. And on to the winter. And you just assume that there's probably going to be some heavy lifting. Yeah, and on the other side, Zach Greinke will finish with his career win, number 225. And the Royals will avoid... Shattering their franchise record for losses in a season. They remain tied with it at 106 losses. You know, what Judge is doing right there reminds me of what Cheetah would do when the Yankees would not win a World Series. He'd sit there and take it in and remember it and not want it to happen again. We'll come back, wrap things up, then a big postgame after that. The Dodgers a strike away from a championship, from a proper celebration. With a comeback for the ages from down 5-0. To win at 7-6 in five games in this clash of the Titans, the Dodgers over the Yankees, and Walker Buehler, of all people, who is questionable even to make the postseason roster down the stretch, comes on two days after he starts Game 3 and saves Game 5. It's the largest comeback win in a clinching game in World Series history. The Yankees cracked the door open, and a team that has been tested and calloused, and Dave Roberts said became tougher than any team he's been around, kicked that door open and clinched the World Series. Oh my gosh. You ******* did it. You did it. Five to two, two gone in the ninth. Jeff Hoffman trying to finish the job, his one-two pitch. There it is! The Toronto Jays have punched their ticket to the championship series. Going through the New York Yankees in four games, and again, withstanding the Yankees' best punch. Trent Grisham trying to extend the Yankees' game and season here. Baker ready, Chisholm takes off, and a swing and a miss! Baker strikes out Grisham, and the Tampa Bay Rays are moving on! They sweep the Yankees the Rays! will advance to the American League Championship Series and the brooms are out for the Tampa Bay Rays end of the line for the New York Yankees and the Rays who 15 days ago clinched the American League East on this field do the same in October Victor Mesa Jr. hits two run home run the difference first career postseason homer
