Welcome to the Fantasy Throw Down Podcast, bringing you the latest from the world of sports,

DFS and gambling. With over five years of hot tags and millions of downloads later, I guess he's been doing something right.

Now, sit back and listen to one of the sharpest minds in the game.

Here's your host, Duane Calendar.

Well, well, folks, what do we have this early Friday morning?

The Yankees lose a close game, just like I thought they would,

and behold the excuses about the roof being open.

All right, I'm just going to say this.

The Yankees, if this is what they're going to focus on at their loss,

they are completely looking at this series the wrong way.

I'm just gonna say it.

You could say, oh, if Judge's ball went out, they would have been up 4-3 they would have won the game I'm I'm sorry

That is not the way you should be looking at the actual game

The game was lost because you're at bats were not nearly as the same caliber of quality as the Astros at bats.

Both teams played in adverse conditions with the wind.

And you could say Breggman's hom run should have gone out against Severino.

He still hit the ball pretty good.

That still probably would have been a double if the wind didn't impact it.

Like the fact that we keep getting into this argument of why the Yankees can't close on the

Astros belies the actual reality situation. The Astros, as constructed, and it's a whole model of which the Astros operate is a better model than the Yankees are operating under. They do it more efficiently than

the Yankees do. They spend less money than the Yankees do. They have more well-rounded

players than the Yankees do.
