BT and Sal's discussion rages over the Yankees' recent loss, which has all but ended their chances of winning the AL East. Sal is furious, believing the Yankees underachieved and let a weaker Toronto Blue Jays team run away with the division, making their postseason path much more difficult. He argues that with the Yankees' standard, winning the division is a must, and their failure to do so is a "disappointing regular season." BT, however, takes a more nuanced view, pointing to injuries to key players like Gerrit Cole and Louis Hill as reasons for the team's struggles, and maintains that just making the playoffs is a significant accomplishment given the circumstances. He believes the "get in and anything can happen" mentality of the modern MLB postseason makes winning the division less important. The two hosts clash on whether the Yankees' performance is a disappointment or a resilient effort.
