Asking @grok: "On A Scale Of 0-10 How Ass Are The Yankees"

And the perfect reply:

2008 ALDS - Beat Angels 3-2 in G4 to win series 3-1
2013 ALDS - Beat Rays 3-1 in G4 to win series 3-1
2013 ALCS - Beat Tigers 5-2 in G6 to win series 4-2
2013 WS   - Beat Cardinals 6-1 in G6 to win series 4-2
2018 ALDS - Beat Yankees 4-3 in G4 to win series 3-1
2018 ALCS - Beat Astros 4-1 in G5 to win series 4-1
2018 WS   - Beat Dodgers 5-1 in G5 to win series 4-1
2021 ALWC - Beat Yankees 6-2 to win "series" 1-0*
2021 ALDS - Beat Rays 6-5 in G4 to win series 3-1

*: Looks like a winner-take-all game does not count as a "series". I think it should count because it's the postseason and a win in that game would send the Red Sox to the next round. I'm arguing Boston is tied with the Athletics and can will set a new record with 10 series tonight.

Masataka Yoshida of the @RedSox is the first player in MLB history to have a go-ahead hit with his team trailing on the first pitch he ever saw in his postseason career.

From Sarah Langs:

Garrett Crochet had 11 strikeouts, tied for the most in a pitcher's Red Sox postseason debut, with:
1903 WS2 - Bill Dinneen
1912 WS1 - Smoky Joe Wood

Garrett Crochet's 11 strikeouts are the most by a Red Sox pitcher in a postseason game without issuing a walk

Most consecutive batters retired in a postseason game, Red Sox history:
1915 WS3 - Dutch Leonard: 20
2007 ALDS1 - Josh Beckett: 19
1967 WS2 - Jim Lonborg: 19 (first 19)
2025 ALWC1 - Garrett Crochet: 17

Garrett Crochet's 100.2 mph pitch [his 117th (and final) of the game)] tied his fastest of the year
It's also the fastest strikeout pitch for him in his career as a starter

And:

Chris Mason @ByChrisMason
As he retired 17 in a row, Garrett Crochet went two full hours (6:32-8:32) without allowing a Yankees baserunner. Filthy outing.
