1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: If you're not going to go out and replace his bat, 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: then you have to replace the pitching. 3 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: It's paramount. You can't tell me that anyone be lying. 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: To us if they were like non Google, Will Warren 5 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: in the five spot over having Trevor Bauer, one of 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: the book that full get Busy Living, You're good busy die. 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: Well, the last couple of days have been rough, you know, 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 3: but that's baseball. 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 4: Susan Ray fan Sega joining me here. 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: Ray, let me just say a couple of things before 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 3: we get started, just to kind of let the audience 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 3: know what to expect in this podcast. Typically when I 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: do a podcast, I really pride myself on doing a show, 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: you know, and having focused topics and having you know, 15 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 3: all the whiz bang that comes along with it, world 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: class and giving people like a really good, old fashioned show. 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,919 Speaker 3: But sometimes the situation just calls for one of those conversations, 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 3: just an adult conversation. So this for the people who 19 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: watch with their kids, this might be one of those 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 3: just to heads up, this might be your thing, so 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 3: people love that type of stuff. But you know, Friday night, 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,639 Speaker 3: I did a postgame show with my guy Terrence TK. 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 3: Yankees won and TK and I made what I felt 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: was a pretty strong podcast. We had a really good conversation. 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,559 Speaker 3: It was you know, it was. It was a good time. 26 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: And then about fifteen minutes later, I'm getting into bed 27 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 3: and I see the tweet that you know, Cole is 28 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: going to have diagnostics, and that began what has been 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: a mini, you know, kind of downward spiral for the 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: last couple of days where I feel like all of 31 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 3: Yankee's universe jelling me. So we got the report from 32 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 3: yesterday from Bowden that he was recommended Tommy John. 33 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 4: We found out today. 34 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: That he was going to actually have it, and we've 35 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: got the statement that Garrett Cole put out, which I 36 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: haven't been able to bring myself to read. 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 5: From the time I first dreamed of wearing the Yankees uniform, 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 5: my goal has always been to help bring a World 39 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 5: Series championship to New York. That dream hasn't changed. I 40 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: still believe in it, and I'm more determined than ever 41 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 5: to achieve it. Today, the most respected medical experts in 42 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 5: the field recommend that I undergo Tommy John's surgery. This 43 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 5: isn't the news any athlete wants to hear, but it's 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 5: the necessary next step. For my career. I have a 45 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 5: lot left to give, and I'm fully committed to the 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 5: work ahead. I'll attack my rehab every day and support 47 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 5: the twenty twenty five Yankees each step of the way. 48 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 5: I love this game, I love competing, and I can't 49 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 5: wait to be back on the mound stronger than ever. 50 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 5: See you soon. 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: Gee, You're an actor, so I just want to paint 52 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: the scene for you for your next screenplay. This is 53 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: the scene in the movie where somebody shows up at 54 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 3: my house and they knock on the door and I 55 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: enter the door and I'm in a bathroobe and I 56 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 3: haven't shaved, and I smell terrible, and it's clear that 57 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: I haven't cleaned up after any of my. 58 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 4: Dishes for the last couple of days. 59 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 3: It's just like it's that's how it's been the last 60 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: couple of days. And then about a couple hours ago, 61 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: you and I were chatting and I was thinking, you know, 62 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 3: this is what I need. I just need to talk 63 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 3: some baseball, and it was like it was kind of 64 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: like in Rocky two when Adrian wakes up and she's 65 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 3: like win. 66 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: Rocky, when when. 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 5: What? 68 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Wait? Wait? 69 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: And I'm ready to get to work, so how have 70 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: your last couple of days been and how are you feeling? 71 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 2: Man? Uh So, I was a big Scooby Doo. 72 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: Fan growing up, and all I've heard in my head 73 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: the last couple of days was right, like. 74 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 5: Oh no, Derek and Ray got off topic for a while, 75 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 5: but eventually they got back to the Yankees lineup. 76 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: So I was like, all, right, where do we go 77 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: from here? Right? 78 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: Like, if Austin Wells is my leadoff hitter, and I 79 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: heard you say this a few times, but it's like, well, 80 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: you're not really the game plan is not to steal 81 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: bags and run when judges at the plate, right, And 82 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I look at it like, when I hear that, what 83 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: I think is we're all expecting the only production from 84 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Judge to be a home run. 85 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: That's fair, right, because why run if Judge is that plate? 86 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Well? Why because if you have the hardest guy to 87 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: face for a pitcher at the plate and you're trying 88 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: to run at the same time, it makes it exponentially 89 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: harder to face the guy at the plate. It just 90 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: seems like like basic logic to me. 91 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: Right, Well, here's the problem, here's the problem, here's the 92 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: next step. Okay, you let that guy steal that. Let's 93 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: say you got Jazz. Let's just go with Jazz because 94 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: he's the fastest of the of the bunch. Let's say 95 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 3: now you can walk down, he steals you walk Judge. 96 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Now you gotta face Bellinger. Bellinger, I think if he 97 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: hits and he hits three hundred like he did two 98 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: years ago, it hits twenty five bombs, that's gonna force you. 99 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 3: That's gonna force you to pitch to Judge a little 100 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: bit more. You know, if he's taken aim at that 101 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: short porch and he's hitting thirty five home runs, you're 102 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: gonna have. 103 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 4: To pitch to judge. 104 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: But then you know, Stanton was your big guy, like 105 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 3: Stanton was your clean up, your You've somehow made your 106 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: way through the gauntlet. Last year it was Soto and 107 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 3: and Judge and okay, we made it through the gauntlet. 108 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: And then Stanton jumps you because you're you're tired and 109 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: you forgot that this guy still a behemoth and still 110 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: swings the lumber. 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 4: Now you got Paul Goldsmith. 112 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: Now, Paul goldmanth did something nice today that I'm looking 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 3: forward to seeing him do a lot this year, which 114 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: he took the ball to right field with power. We're 115 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 3: counting on Paul Goldschmidt to be the new run producer. 116 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 6: Right. 117 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: As much as Stanton carried us in the playoffs, it 118 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 3: wasn't a great regular season player, you know, in terms 119 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 3: of like offering value to the team. 120 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 4: He ha'ds some whole runs, but he couldn't run the bases. 121 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,799 Speaker 4: He didn't play a field. 122 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 3: I'd argue that a more versatile player can give you 123 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 3: one or two more wins over the course of the 124 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 3: season outside of just hitting home runs, whether it's a 125 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: great play in the field, whether it's a steal in 126 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: a bag, whatever, I can. 127 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: I can live without John Carlo in the regular season. 128 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: It's gonna I'm gonna mishaving him in that gauntlet in 129 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 3: the postseason. So let's take John Carlow and set him 130 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 3: to the side. Let's set him to the side. We 131 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: got some other problems to fix now. We got to 132 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 3: figure out who the hell's playing third base. Okay, we 133 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 3: got to figure out how we're going to replace a 134 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: really good picture in Garrett Cole. Because they don't grow 135 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: on trees, nobody's giving them away. What do you do? 136 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: What's your next move? You're Brian Cashman, you're as bald 137 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 3: as Brian Cashman is, and you probably gotta figured like 138 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: he and you probably got a beard like he has 139 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 3: right now too, because he's doing that whole Rocky two 140 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 3: before hold out. 141 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 2: What wait, wait, let's let's do the real, the broadcasting thing. 142 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,119 Speaker 4: So yeah, yes, that ideal. That ideal. 143 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: Guys, what's your plan? Guy? 144 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: You know he showed me your plan, right, and I 145 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: look at it like I feel like they said. 146 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: We want to get more athletic, more versatile, and have 147 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,239 Speaker 2: no holes in the defense. 148 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 5: Going together, they would make a rectangle or square and 149 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 5: closing one hundred and twenty one square. 150 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 3: I think I think there's a non zero chance that 151 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: both DJ Lemayhew and John Carr Stanton have played their 152 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 3: final games as Yankees. I think DJ has had so 153 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 3: many issues he might come back and play for a 154 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: couple weeks and then get DFA. That could happen John Carlo, 155 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: if he has surgery on both arms, he might never 156 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: recover from that. I mean, we've seen guys have this issue, 157 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: like Strasbourg had a big contract and basically went on 158 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: permanent il Albert Bell, he had the degenerative hit issue, 159 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 3: basically went on permanent il when he was with the Orioles. 160 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, so great. 161 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Sizemore, Yeah, one of the best players I ever saw. 162 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: I was like, this is Mickey Mantle. This guy's amazing. 163 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: And then one injury, another injury, another injury, and you 164 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: never get back to that. Trent Grisham just became my 165 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: starting center fielder because that's his natural position. He's a 166 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: defense first guy and he's going to bat at the 167 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: towards the end of my lineup. Bellinger just became my 168 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: left fielder, and Jason de Mingez just became my switch 169 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: hitting DH for the time being. And the reason why 170 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: is because if you're not going to go out there 171 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: going we'll kind of check big sine when do we win, 172 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: just like. 173 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: That, and go do what is necessary. 174 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: Then, my man, you can't start forcing things like you 175 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: can't put the square in the circle here right now. 176 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: One guy's defense might be a little suspect. Well, okay, 177 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: you've had him since he's sixteen. We'll have that conversation later. 178 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: If you can't play defense, that's on you, guys. 179 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: Okay, let me let me let me pause it right here. 180 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: Let's let's stay on this topic for a minute, because 181 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: I like I like this idea. So I pitched about 182 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: a week ago. I said, well, maybe you put Dimingas 183 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 3: at DH to fill the hole for a while. 184 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 4: Let him work on it. 185 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: On the side. I did get some blowback. Yes, some 186 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: people are like, well he's twenty two. You don't want 187 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: to like stunt his growth. I mean, no one says 188 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 3: he's got to keep you know, stop working at the outfield. 189 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 4: I mean, keep working. 190 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: You still, he's not going to be He's not going 191 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: to turn into Miguel Cabrera after you know, three months 192 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: at the DH spot, right, He's not going to you know, 193 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 3: forget how to run and stop. He's a kid, So 194 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: keep working on the side. I actually kind of like 195 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 3: this idea. It does tighten our defense a little bit better. 196 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 4: You know. 197 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 3: It also gives you the opportunity, you know, if you 198 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: if you're not feeling you know, Christian McGain, it's the lefty. 199 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 4: Well, that's easy. 200 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: You put Bellinger in center field, you put Judge in 201 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: right field, put Themingez in left, and you pick up 202 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: a righty to you put in a righty that day? 203 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: Who would take that spot? 204 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 4: Right now? 205 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: It's an open spot. What if they went out and 206 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 3: got a rise I mean just to play devil's advocate. 207 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 3: You know, he doesn't go with that thing of helping 208 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 3: the team in a bunch of different ways because he's 209 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 3: not fast and he's not a defensive whiz. He's a 210 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 3: leadoff hitter in front of Aaron Judge who's gonna get 211 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: on base thirty five percent of the time, which is 212 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: a higher clip than Austin Wells got on last year 213 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: by about thirty percent. Uh. And it gives you a 214 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: dh a you know, and a guy who's gonna hit, 215 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: who's gonna hit for contact, right makes the makes the 216 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 3: team a little bit less homer dependent. What are your 217 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 3: thoughts on that? And I don't think he would actually 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: cost that much. He might cost a little bit more 219 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: now knowing that the Yankees are a buyer, right They're 220 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 3: they're you know, they got our balls and avice there. 221 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: Charlie M.

I look at Trevor Bauer 301 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: and I'm like, I think our team could use his 302 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: attitude on the mound more so than his velocity than 303 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: you know, how deep can he go into games if 304 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 1: we don't have Garrett Cole and we don't know how 305 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: long it's gonna be till we see Louis Hill on 306 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: the mount again, and. 307 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: We don't know if John Collo stands and elbows. 308 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: And if you're not go out and replace his bat, 309 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: then you have to replace the pitching. 310 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: It's paramount. 311 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: You have to replace somebody in that bullpen, I mean, 312 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: in that rotation. 313 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 2: And if you're not gonna explore trade for. 314 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: A Manty or a King or someone like that, then 315 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: beggers can't be You're telling. 316 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: Us we're gonna go with what we have.

I don't know what I 339 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: would say. I don't know what my reaction would be. 340 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: Until it happens. Right, So I don't want the Yankees 341 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: to get him, but if they sign him, this is 342 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: one place where I'm gonna choose to trust the organization. 343 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: I'm like, Hey, that's that's cal you know, I mean, 344 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: that's that's that's how that's that's Cashman. 345 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 4: I combined Cashman and Hall there.

That's now? 348 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 3: So if they if they signed Trevor Bauer, I would 349 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: I would morally be uncertain how to react because I 350 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 3: don't have all the facts, right, I. 351 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Suspect in these moments, that's when we as as fans 352 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: as it's just people citizens, right, you know that are 353 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: just as much open to be a victim or you know, 354 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: a proponent of the criminal justice system. You do the crime, 355 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: you do the time if you didn't do the like 356 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: that's the thing. If you're found not guilty and none 357 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: of the charges are put against you, and now you 358 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: have a counter suit against that person. Baseball black balling 359 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: you is baseball protecting themselves just in case something else 360 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: goes haywire along the way.
