Today’s Three Things I Think video comes to you moments before I head to the airport for a trip to Toronto after the Yankees advanced to the ALDS.

As I stood watching Gerrit Cole celebrate in the clubhouse while drenched in champagne and beer, I’ll tell you what prompted me to ask him what it was like watching his younger self on the mound in the form of Cam Schlittler on Thursday night.

I’ll talk about how Schlittler’s performance didn’t just win the wild-card series for the Yankees, but also set up their bullpen brilliantly for the series against the Blue Jays.

And finally, in defense of the Yankees, it actually was their defense that was one of the keys to why they’re advancing.
