Boomer: Alright Craig, the Yankees, they got it done last night in Cleveland. And listen, Nate Moser was the star. Four hits, huge two-run homer in the ninth inning to put ‘em ahead. That’s as clutch as it gets.
Carton: Yeah, yeah, but lemme tell ya, Booms, I was ready to kill these guys in the eighth inning. I’m thinkin’ “here we go again, another blown opportunity, they’re gonna waste this.” And then Moser steps up and says, “nah, I got this.” Bang! Two-run bomb, and all of a sudden the Yankees steal one in Cleveland. Series tied.
Boomer: That’s exactly right. And now, Craig, you’re comin’ back to Yankee Stadium tied at one. You couldn’t ask for a better spot if you’re a Yankee fan.
Carton: Oh yeah, the Stadium’s gonna be nuts on Thursday. I mean, Cleveland’s still the defending champs, don’t get me wrong—they’re loaded. But the Yankees showed last night they’re not afraid, and this thing is on.
Boomer: Yup, it’s a long series, but that win was huge. If you go down 0-2 in Cleveland, you’re in deep trouble. Instead, you’re coming back even, with a chance to take control at home.
Carton: And by the way, can we just give a little love to Andrade on the mound? Guy gives you seven solid innings, kept ‘em in the game. That’s how you win in October—you get pitching, you get clutch hitting, you get outta town with a split.
Boomer: Exactly. So now it’s on. Yankees, Indians, tied up, and Yankee Stadium is gonna be rockin’.
Carton: Can’t wait, Booms. Can’t wait.
