Hour 1: Cashman's Crapshoot: The Longest Drought Between Titles Gets Longer
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
BT and Sal tear into the New York Yankees' early elimination from the playoffs, focusing on the team's abysmal offensive performance against the Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen. The discussion highlights the recurring problem of the Yankees' all-or-nothing, home run-dependent hitting philosophy ("mash or whiff") and a fundamental, organizational flaw that leads to repeated postseason failures. The hosts, particularly BT, express frustration that has become "desensitized" and predictable while Sal questions the team's construction which is "exposed" in a short series. The conversation also explores a psychological shift in sports fandom, questioning if it's better to root for a team's loss than for a win, given the high likelihood of disappointment, especially for a franchise now experiencing its longest World Series drought since 1903.
