 season appearance and this is the first step of what they hope will be a trip to the 28th world title. A long journey for regular season play the Yankees are one of ten teams left that will compete for a championship in the Major League Baseball postseason. The Yankees will start their road with a division series matchup against Minnesota while Houston awaits the winner of the American League wild card game between Tampa Bay and Oakland. The Dodgers braves Cardinals, Nationals and Brewers make up the field in the National League. Great to have you with us on our postseason playoff preview Bob Lorenz, John Flaherty, Jack Curry with you. Now we're at that second part of the season. The big stage was the marathon right that ended in a sprint to get the playoffs and Jack now the excitement of the playoffs unfolds. Absolutely and you look at that bracket right there and every one of those teams believes that it can do what it needs to do to win a World Series title and Bob the Yankees are amongst that group. The Yankees are looking at the season that they just had and said they went through a season where 30 players are on the injured list and they were never fazed they were never unnerved and I think that experience will help the Yankees in October when things get a lot tensor and there's a lot more pressure the Yankees can always look back on the season they hadn't said wait a second we never were frazzled when we had those things happen to us why should we be frazzled if something happens in the postseason. Yeah when you win 103 games during the regular season it's quite an accomplishment. You win the American League East and you deserve to have some time off and get going against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. But what a lot of these players and some have experienced it and some have not when your name gets introduced the Yankee Stadium Friday night and you're standing on that line and you're looking up at your home crowd you realize this is totally different than what you experienced during the regular season with all that being said they're a confident team but is it going to be the superstars who are going to carry you or are going to be some unexpected guys who are going to be the heroes during the month of October and they did that during the regular season before we go any further we want to remind you that yesterday right there with the Yankees when they chase a championship in the postseason we will have coverage before and after every one of their games and they will start the playoffs on Friday by hosting Minnesota in game one of the ALDS. Jack one of the hallmarks of this team through all the injuries one game at a time it sounds so cliche they didn't look ahead but you've brought something up you're thinking about 11 wins that gets you championship gold. Yeah you look at teams that have gotten those 11 wins and you start to count those down I remember going back to some of those Joe Torrey Yankee teams that won World Series titles and they were saying after a particular series win eight more to go four more to go and I think every team has that in the back of its mind I think what is going to help separate the Yankees is their bullpen I think they're going to go to their bullpen early and often I think they're going to rely on those guys to get them through games the other thing they're going to be doing besides chasing those 11 wins Bob every time they step on the field chase those 27 outs who is putting them in the best position to get those 27 outs. Yeah I'm glad you brought that up I'm glad you brought up Joe Torrey's teams I've been in some of those clubhouses where you look at the guys around the room when you're going through your pregame meetings you know Andy Pett it's going to be our guy Mike Musina is going to be our guy to Jack's point I think this year it's going to be Britain's our guy out of Vino's our guy Kainley when can they come in a game probably earlier than we're used to seeing them during the regular season it's going to look a lot different bullpens are going to be a huge part of this postseason we have much more to cover our postseason preview.
