New York Knicks guard Josh Hart just dropped one of the wildest quotes of the MLB playoffs, proclaiming “I know Jesus is at God’s right hand, but I think Cam Schlittler might be at his left.” He’s clearly got Yankees fever, and honestly, who can blame him after what Schlittler did to the Red Sox to send them packing?
Schlittler’s Playoff Dominance Shakes Up the AL
Cam Schlittler isn’t just pitching well, he’s basically been untouchable. In Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series against the archrival Boston Red Sox, the right-hander was absolutely lights out. He gave up just two hits and a single walk over 6.1 innings, striking out a massive 10 batters. Yankee Stadium fans knew what they were seeing, showering him with MVP chants. That performance set the tone, leading to a quick sweep of the Red Sox. Seriously, a sweep! This guy is arguably the best pitcher in the game, and he’s not even done proving it. His season numbers scream Cy Young: a ridiculous 1.95 ERA, a 0.92 WHIP, and 239 strikeouts across 193.2 innings. He was unhittable all year, and he’s still unhittable in the playoffs.
NBA Champion Hart Believes in Bronx Bombers
Hart, an NBA champion himself, isn’t just talking big, he’s backing it up. He’s planning on attending Game 3 of the Yankees’ American League Division Series against the top-seeded Tampa Bay Rays. He’s openly stated his belief that Schlittler can carry the Bronx Bombers all the way to a championship this year, joining his own Knicks as New York teams to win it all. It’s a bold prediction, but when you watch Schlittler pitch, it’s hard to argue with. Facing the Rays won’t be easy, but having an NBA champ like Hart in their corner, hyped up like this? That’s gotta give them some extra juice.
So, the Yankees are heading into the ALDS against the tough Rays, and they’ve got their ace Schlittler dealing, an NBA champion superfan in Josh Hart ready to cheer them on, and a whole lot of momentum. Game 3 is gonna be electric with Hart in the building, and you just know Schlittler is going to bring that same heat against Tampa Bay.
