Masahiro Tanaka

But

it's just so, like, Masahiro Tanaka.

Like, it's just such a good name.

Oh,

Very surprised.

But I'm also not surprised playing with Masahiro Tanaka.

Not saying they're the same person, but Japanese players do an incredible job of being able to have alternate... surgery plans.

Not saying that's what he's doing, but talking to Masa about it, like surgery doesn't always have to be the answer.

Greg Bird hits the big home run.

Masahiro Tanaka was unbelievable in the playoffs.

And then Game 6...

Against Houston, Verlander dominates.

Get him that ring.

All right, guys, let me know your low points as Yankees fans.

Honorable mention, when Tanaka tore his UCL, his rookie season, that sucked.

Anyway, let me know in the comments yours, and I'll see you next time.

And then there's the fact that they actually, you know, kind of like, uh, the Fighters have other, you know, depth pieces in the rotation who could help out, right? Like Shinnosuke Ogasawara, Takahiro Norimoto.

Um, I don't know about Masahiro Tanaka, but maybe.

Like, they have guys who they can get a little bit of length from.

So I think that is definitely going to lean the pitching more towards the, the Giants.

But I just don't really trust those guys, you know?

Yeah.

It's just like I haven't seen it enough from them, um, compared to, yeah, like guys like Ogasawara and Masahiro Tanaka, who are veterans, you know, big names.

Uh, if you need to get two innings out of them in a piggyback capacity, I would trust them a little bit more.

But what's the mentality trying to come back from 0-2 home game three?

Well, I mean, if we go back to that game, Masahiro Tanaka was amazing.

I mean-

Yeah

It's happened three times.

That was the 2017 Yankees who had a top two MVP can finisher in Aaron Judge and a top three Cy Young finisher in Masahiro Tanaka.

Mm-hmm.

The 2015 Blue Jays did it against the Rangers.
