Kwarewar sa ta jiu-jitsu da kuma kammalawa na iya canza faɗa nan take, kuma yana da kyau a cikin rudani. New York Yankees na tsaye a gefen tudu. Sun yi kunnen doki 0-2 a cikin Rarraba, suna fuskantar wata kungiya ta Toronto Blue Jays mai zafi wadda ta karya wasanni biyu na farko, Yankees sun koma gidansu, mafakarsu: Filin wasa na Yankee.

Abubuwan da ke haɗari ba su taɓa yin yawa ba. Idan wani wasa ya ƙare da rashin nasara ga Yanks, mafarkin girman girman Oktoba za su ƙare ba tare da wani sauti ba. Amma wani abu da tarihin baseball ya gaya muku a wannan yanayin shi ne: kada ku taɓa ƙidaya Bombers na Bronx lokacin da suke fuskantar matsin lamba. Masu kallo sun san hakan, 'yan wasa suna jin hakan, kuma hasken da ke haskakawa a kan filin wasa za su bayyana hakan, kuma duk wannan ba kawai wasan baseball bane; faɗa ce ta alfahari, tarihi, da kuma rayuwa.

Blue Jays na tashi da sauri, a zahiri. Baki na sauti, ƙwazonsu ba shi da kamar abin da aka taɓa gani, kuma kyakkyawan fata daga gare su yana da girma. Tare da jagorancin 2-0 a rarraba, ƙungiyar Kanada ta sa Yankees masu ƙarfi shiru sau biyu a jere, kuma yanzu New York na neman amsoshi.

Duk da haka, Yankees ba baƙi bane ga wahala. Kawai duba tarihin su a gida: nasarori 2 na gida a jere, tare da Aaron Judge yana ƙirƙirar wasan kwaikwayo masu ban mamaki, Jasson Dominguez yana ƙirƙirar ƙwazo, sannan Cody Bellinger yana kawo kwanciyar hankalin tsofaffi. Filin wasa zai cika da yawa a daren yau, kuma kowa ya san yadda masu goyon bayan Bronx za su iya zama masu yada cuta.

Kungiyoyi biyu sun isa ƙarshen kakar wasa ta yau da kullun tare da rikodin nasara guda, nasara 93 da rashin nasara 68, amma hanyar da kowace ta samu ba za ta iya zama mafi bambanta ba. 

Yankees sun fuskanci wata kakar tare da rabo mai yawa na hawa da sauka. Raunuka da matsalolin zurfin zurfin sun kalubalanci kungiyar; akwai hawa da sauka tare da tawagar masu jefa kwallon su, amma ta hanyar duk abin da ya faru, lokacin da ya fi dacewa, taurarin su sun taka rawa kamar daya. Aaron Judge ya sake nuna cewa yana daga cikin masu cin kwallaye mafi girma a wasan, kuma taurari masu tasowa kamar Dominguez sun sami karfin gwiwa a kowane lokaci. 

Carlos Rodón, dan wasan da ke jefa kwallon a yau, ya kasance kyakkyawan haɗin haɗin gwiwa a wurin jefa kwallon ga Yankees a wannan kakar—nasarori 18, ERA 3.09, da kuma fiye da zabin 200 a wannan kakar. Masu goyon bayan Yankee na iya dogara gare shi don samar da kwanciyar hankali, kulawa, da damar yin faɗa a wata rana.

Amma wasan yau ya fi na stats kawai; yana da alaƙa da tarihi. Yankees sun gina suna don tashi daga ƙura, kuma Rodón ya san ma'anar sanya rigar pinstripes.

Ga Toronto, an yi amfani da wannan kakar don haihuwa; layin su ya zama dabba—yana samar da gudu 55 a wasanninsu 5 na karshe—kuma ko da ba tare da wasu manyan sunaye ba, har yanzu harin yana ci gaba da fashewa da kuma sanar da kasancewarsu.

Blue Jays sun karya NY kamar tafiya a cikin lambu, 10-1, kwanaki da suka wuce. Wata nasara mai daci wadda ta bayyana ta ba da mamaki ko ga mafi kishin masoyan baseball. Amma muna a Bronx, inda Bronx zai iya sake rubuta duk labarun a daren yau, zai iya zama lokacin canza kyakkyawan fata.

Tawagar masu jefa kwallon—wanda ke da gajiya—har yanzu yana ɗaya daga cikin amintattun sashen a baseball. Babban tambaya ita ce, shin Rodón zai iya jefa kwallon har zuwa wasan kuma ya ba wa wannan tawagar hutu?

Carlos Rodón, tare da rikodin sa mai ban mamaki na 18-9 da kuma yawan zabin sa, zai jagoranci bege na Yankees. ERA na gidansa yana ƙasa da 3.00, yana mai da shi makami a gaban masu goyon bayan Yankees. Amma yana fuskantar layin da ke cike da masu buga kwallon hannun dama—Guerrero Jr., Bichette, da Springer, dukansu suna iya hukunta kurakurai.
