We’re now two days from the start of the ALDS, and the beginning of what will hopefully a long and fruitful campaign through October for the Yankees. The Bombers have an excellent roster and just finished off a 103-59 season, but as with any team, they’ll have to come up big when it matters most and hope that the ball bounces their way if they want to outlast the rest of a deep playoff field.
What exactly needs to happen for this squad to go all the way? What do they need to do to ensure this playoff run lasts longer than not just last year’s disappointing ALDS exit, but also 2017’s surprising ALCS effort?
