0:00.0	Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Friday, October 11th.
0:14.4	Derek and Riper, Inoceris, here with you on this episode.
0:17.1	The Yankees have made it through to the ALCS.
0:19.7	We'll talk about how they did it. And we'll take a look at this 2024 Royals team and what is next for Kansas City. There might be some deceiving teams that reach the postseason with the expanded field that trick us. We have higher expectations than we did certainly six months ago for the Royals. Perhaps those expectations are too high in light of their run this year.
0:39.8	A couple of game fives on tap.
0:41.5	Of course, we've got the Dodgers Padres.
0:43.0	That'll happen on Friday night.
0:44.1	We already kind of talked about that game on Thursday, so we won't spend a lot of time on that today.
0:47.3	We do have Guardians Tigers coming up, though, on Saturday.
0:50.9	We'll talk about how we got there. And we got some non-playoff updates to pass along later on in the show as well. If you haven't joined our Discord yet, you can do that with the link in the show description. Get some lively chatter during these playoff games as we're into that phase where every single pitch kind of has you on the edge of your seat. You know, let's start with the Yankees.
1:11.2	They make it through to the ALCS with the win over Kansas City in Kansas City on Thursday night.
1:17.5	I think the main thing for me was Garrett Cole.
1:20.7	He wasn't great, but he was good.
1:23.8	And that was huge.
1:25.0	To see a starter go seven in these playoffs, that's become an increasingly rare thing.
1:29.2	He was able to do that.
1:30.4	Despite 12 hard hit balls, I think the biggest one of all was the Kyle Isbell near home run in the seventh inning.
1:38.4	That would have been a home run in 24 of 30 Major League parks, including Yankee Stadium.
1:44.7	I know that there was an on-field post-game interview where you could sort of see the relief in his face at the time that that ball didn't leave the yard.
1:53.8	It was still within 30 minutes or so of that happening.
1:57.0	And I think he realized that was a big swing that would have completely changed that
2:02.0	game if it had been played in the Bronx. To be fair, if it had been played in the Bronx,
