Win or go home (feat. @BarstoolJJ) – The Bronx Pinstripes Show #36
The 2015 season all comes down to Tuesday night when the Astros visit the Yankees. Scott and Andrew are joined by @BarstoolJJ to prepare for the upcoming Wild Card game. They break down everything that happened during the last week of the season including losing 6 of their last 7 games, and talk about the team celebration for clinching a playoff spot and winning the franchises' 10,000th win. The guys end by answering mailbag questions.

Say what you want about the last week, which was ugly, but the Yankees have made it to the dance. It is now a 1 game season and anything can happen. The Yankees will have Masahiro Tanaka on the mound on Tuesday night in the Bronx, and a lot of us would have signed up for that at the beginning of the season. Houston is probably going to start Dallas Keuchel, which will be difficult because he is a nasty lefty that has shut down the Yankees this season. Scott, JJ, and Andrew set expectations for the game, talk about what the Yankees need to do in order to win, who we would like to see in the lineup, and discuss next steps if (when) they win.
It was a tough road to make the playoffs, and the Yankees needed help from Arizona on the last day of the season to clinch home field in the Wild Card game. The Yankees have been playing their worst baseball since early April and it could not have come at a worse time. The offense is flat and constantly leaves runners on base, and the pitching is inconsistent. We all know the middle relief is bad, but even Betances has been shaky. The guys talk about what Dellin Betances needs to do in order to block out his struggles for the playoff game. Also, if anyone except Miller, Betances, Warren, Wilson, or Severino enters the game after Tanaka on Tuesday then, not only are we screwed, but Joe Girardi better have a Shawshank secret escape plan from Yankee Stadium.
