Kyle Schwarber has just homer. Kyle Schwarber 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: got a hit. Great, Kyle Schwarmer got a hit. 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 6: You know what. 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 4: That was the easiest looking swing up for a home 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 4: run that we've seen in these playoffs. Everybody else looks 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 4: like they're you know that that face, that constipated face, 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: grunting and swinging from the heels. This was just a 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 4: nice easy flow to right field. Yeah, just uh, just 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 4: finally a hit for Kyle Schwarber. 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 5: This tie way. 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Tommy Edmund at homeward for the Dodgers in the first inning, 28 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: so a second inning rather so. Now Phillies and the 29 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: Dodgers tied at one apiece. Philly's batting one on, nobody 30 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: out in the top of the fourth. 31 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 3: Inning, wet looking union. 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the I want to say this right away 33 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: because people understand that I always tell the truth on things. 34 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 5: You know, me, Mets fan, What do I say? 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 4: Right? 36 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: The Phillies and the Yankees losing are just as good 37 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: as the Mets. 38 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 4: You may pop some champagne before it's if that happens 39 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 4: tonight with both of those going away, Yeah. 40 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: It's just as good as the Mets winning, right, one 41 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: hundred percent. Boy, it's really hard. Maybe it's really hard 42 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: to root against the Phillies when they're wearing these uniforms, 43 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: the the the sky blue and dark red. I mean, 44 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: it's just such a great. 45 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: Seventies look like you start thinking about Gary Madden. I 46 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 4: can see Mike Schmidt walking out and hitting the ball 47 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 4: here Rose. 48 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: He said, shit, right, I did say Schmidt. 49 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 5: I didn't. 50 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 2: I didn't. 51 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 3: I don't know. 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 4: We will get into I didn't s Schmittler and Schmidt 53 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 4: David Ortiz in big trouble on that one. Yeah, a 54 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 4: little bit, a little bit, yeah, a little bit. Uh, 55 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 4: speaking of trouble, as we say, now lead it two 56 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: to one. 57 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: As Bryce Harper scores from third, he tries to go 58 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: from first to third on a single, Andy Poes. His 59 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: throw into third is low and in the dirt, and 60 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: it skips by and goes out of play. So Harper 61 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: is awarded at home. And now make it a three 62 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: to one lead with a sacrifice fly. All of a sudden, 63 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: that big error, the bad throw by paz Uh Marsh 64 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: is able to score in the sack fly. So now 65 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: make it a three to one phil lead in the 66 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: top of the fourth inning. Just like that, things have 67 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: gotten good for Philadelphia. That escalated quickly. The throw that 68 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: skips by. You know, we talk about the fundamentals, and 69 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: then you know, just the execution, especially when you know 70 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to steal as many innings out of Yamamoto 71 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: as you can so you don't have to get into 72 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: the pen. All hands on deck, a lot of anticipation, 73 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: whether we see Clayton Kershaw later on, et cetera. But 74 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,119 Speaker 1: the pitch count starting to rise a little bit as 75 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: another ball say, I think we might see Clayton Kershel 76 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: or someone else. Pretty quickly a double down the line 77 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: and right is laced. So now still one out runner 78 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: at second Young Moto's now giving up three runs here 79 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: in the top of the fourth inning. 80 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: Jason, just remember though, the Dodgers are up two games. Yeah, 81 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 4: but this is what's going on right now yet No, no 82 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 4: it's not. But I'm saying like this is a the 83 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: show is now. Yeah, this is what's happening, and and 84 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 4: the people in that stadium are panicking. You're getting shaky 85 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: back thereky shaky real. 86 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: Muto doubles a one hopper into the stands. 87 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 4: Uh. Everybody is out to talk to uh, to talk 88 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 4: to Yamamoto with this surprise. 89 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: The outfielders didn't come into it. 90 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 4: I mean everybody, everybody's on the mound now trying to 91 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: figure this out because it has gotten bad in a 92 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 4: hurry for the Dodgers. I mean, look, this was this 93 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: was hey one nothing and y'am motives look really good 94 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 4: so far the first couple of innings, and all of 95 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 4: a sudden, bang bang bang, and here's hits and wine 96 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 4: drives up the middle, and Schwarber has a home run, 97 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, Dodgers ace starting to get hit. 98 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 4: Philly's thinking, we're getting that bullpen pretty soon. 99 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: I'm to forty nine pitches already here. 100 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 4: I don't know that pitch counts is the thing at 101 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: this point when no, no, no, no, he's getting right, 102 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 4: it's how much how much long is you're gonna be 103 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 4: in this game? But that's the thing, right is is 104 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 4: you're you're playing both as is. You're now escalating and 105 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: they're hitting the ball hard, like these are not little 106 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: duck snorts, uh that are finding their way in. It's 107 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 4: all starts with the Schwarber home run and now a 108 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: veritable conga line, a lot of laughing, and you can 109 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 4: see the tension just melt away from the Phillies in 110 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: this inning right coming in, everybody had that stoic, steely 111 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: I gaze of all right, we got a few innings 112 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: left potentially in this season. All of a sudden, a 113 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: big inning starts to unfold and resting easy, and you're 114 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: gonna watch each each batter, you know, wait for the 115 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 4: next mistake from Yamamoto. 116 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: So again we'll keep you updated on this, of course, again, 117 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: three to one, runner at second, one out, top of 118 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: the fourth inning. Meanwhile, in the Bronx, the Yankees are 119 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: four outs away from elimination. However, they have a little 120 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: bit of hope right now. Ben Rice is pinch hitting 121 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: for Paul Goldschmidt against something that would have sounded crazy 122 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But Ben Rice pinch hitting 123 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: for Paul Goldschmidt. Now Yankees have two on and two 124 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: out bottom of the eighth inning. They trail the Blue. 125 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 4: Jays five to one, and tonight, you know, they had 126 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: the huge advantage coming in with Schlitzler getting the start, 127 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 4: the Blue Jays are going to a bullpen game. Nothing 128 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 4: less imposing for the Blue Jays than seeing the font 129 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 4: of TBA versus Schlitzler. 130 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 5: Great. 131 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: This is gonna be great. And Schlitzler pitched really well. Right. 132 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: Wasn't quite the dominant performance he had against the Red Sox, obviously, 133 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: but he pitched pretty well. Two runs in six plus innings. 134 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: The bullpen has come in and given it up. A 135 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: really bad error by Jazz chishlm on a double Playgrounder 136 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: kept the Blue Jays inning alive, which they put a 137 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: crooked number up and went from two to one to 138 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: four to one. So so far, there's a lot of 139 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: old Yankee, same old Yankees from last year. Oh, they're 140 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: bad fundamentally, they make too many errors, they can't run 141 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the bases. That same old Yankees has come out and 142 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: come back in a large way, and they have four 143 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: outs to try to flip the narrative on them before 144 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: they're limiting. 145 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 7: Yeah. 146 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: I mean, they've had a couple of opportunities where they 147 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,679 Speaker 4: were going to fight back in the game. And then 148 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 4: Blue Jays making big plays defensively something they didn't do yesterday, right, 149 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 4: drifting foul ball, uh Grisham hit with jud John Deck 150 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 4: caught ends an inning with two runners on. And we've 151 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: talked before the show, you and I about Anthony Volpi. 152 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: At this point, you've got to do something. Come on, 153 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: the guy, guy's not hitting like, he's not putting the 154 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: wood on the ball at all. It look and and 155 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 4: I know, to put the wood on the ball. Boone 156 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: is gonna be yes, you always have to do. Got 157 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: to put the boone is gonna get a lot of 158 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 4: a lot of flak. And look and it's one play, 159 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: it's it's a runner at first, one out in the 160 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: seventh inning, and you don't pinch it for Volpi, who 161 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 4: strikes out next batter gets it now first and second, 162 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 4: two out. 163 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 5: Now Yankee fans vot vopivope. 164 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: But just just to be honest, just to be with 165 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: with Volpi is Anthony Volpi has been absolutely terrible. 166 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 4: He's got multiple strikeouts and four straight playoff games before tonight. 167 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: He's one for fourteen in this series with ten strikeouts. 168 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: When you have ten strike if you're one for fourteen, okay, 169 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: you're in a bad spot. But when you are one 170 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: for fourteen with ten strikeouts, there's a there's anything is better, 171 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: Anything is better. 172 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 5: I don't know that need anymore argument. 173 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: That that's but that's the thing is that and this 174 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 4: is this is one of the common threads of the playoffs, 175 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 4: whether it's the Dodgers and and and Dave Roberts and 176 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: the bullpen, whether it is the the Mariners and the 177 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 4: Tigers and there and they're pitching escapades that continue to 178 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: happen in that series. But you are seeing and and 179 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 4: and obviously it's it's Aaron Boone with Volpi, who had 180 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 4: a pretty good year, right, wasn't unbelievable, you know, for 181 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: shortstop thirty and seventy. Okay, But I mean fielding wise 182 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: is where yeah, there's a lot of angsty, but. 183 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: He's at but he's a player, right, He's not going 184 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: to be Jeter, but he's a player. But the number 185 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: of managers that in situations here in the playoffs where 186 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: you aren't in a win or go home game, or 187 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: or a rubber hits the road situation in a playoff 188 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: game that say, no, I'm gonna stick with my guys 189 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: when everything tells you, hey, maybe something a little bit 190 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: different here. I mean that just it baffles me that 191 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: that's still how managers react. It baffles me with that, Like, okay, Volpi, 192 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: when you are one for four, when you have struck 193 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: out ten times in a series, you are not seeing 194 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: the ball, well, you're not coming, you're not anything at 195 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: the plate. So I know, if you've already struck out 196 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: twice in a game, I'm putting somebody else up there 197 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: for you. Somebody else has a better chance of getting 198 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: it because I know how that outbot's gonna end. 199 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 7: No. 200 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: But that's the thing, right is we talk about it 201 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 4: as fans. You watch your favorite team and all of you, 202 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 4: you know, look in the mirror in the moment and 203 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: think about this is the all right that guy's do 204 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 4: and that's either positive or negative depending on how things 205 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 4: are going. 206 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 3: Right. 207 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: You're a Jets fan, Knicks fan. We've chronicled this. I'm 208 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: a Chicago fan. You're always waiting for the other shoe 209 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 4: to drop. But you know when you've got a guy 210 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 4: who's going badly, who's been good for you all year, like, well, 211 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 4: eventually he's gonna come through. 212 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 6: Right. 213 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 4: The Dave Roberts argument for why Blake Trining and some 214 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: of these guys, well, you know the outs they they 215 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: got us in the past, Like yeah, a year ago. Right, 216 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: That doesn't mean that he's suddenly going to come out 217 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,199 Speaker 4: and pitch a clean inning. What in recent history tells 218 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: you this guy's going to be able to do the 219 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 4: job either at the plate or on the mound. You've 220 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 4: got to shuffle up the deal, right. They had the 221 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: big argument in Philadelphia about pinch running. It's like, yeah, 222 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 4: this is where, hey, do we have any other athletes 223 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 4: that are at our disposal to try to move things along? Right, 224 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 4: Sometimes you've got to think a little bit outside the box, and. 225 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: To give you an update from the Bronx right now. Wow, 226 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: So Ben Rice pinch hits for gold Schmidt. He walks 227 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: to load the bass as Hoffman loads the basis or 228 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: as a slider on three and two that is not 229 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: even close to the strike zone. Stadium's going crazy. Austin 230 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,719 Speaker 1: Wells comes up. Remember you just walked the guy.

It looked like it 256 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: was out of the strike zone, and he couldn't handle it, 257 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: and he flew out to left field like you just 258 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: watched a guy walk somebody, you know, his whatever it 259 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: is on the mount at this point, here's the first 260 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: couple of times you're in this situation in Major League baseball.

Make a pitch, and if you're 265 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna swing at that first pitch, it's because I know 266 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: he likes to go, because I know his tendencies are fastball, 267 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: inner part of the plate, and I'm gonna get a 268 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: good swing on it, and that's gonna be a line drive, 269 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: but instead it's a ball off the plate that he 270 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: winds up hitting a lazy fly ball to. And that's 271 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: why I bang my head and go something better than that. 272 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 8: Man. 273 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: You can't just watch a guy walk and have a 274 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: great at bat and you just give it away swinging 275 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: outside because you're because you're too over anxious. 276 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: Come on again, third inning, Game one seven, nobody cares 277 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 4: bottom of the eighth, two outs and the bass is 278 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: juiced when you're down, like every bit checks off to. 279 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 3: You've got to at least see. 280 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 4: What he's got, make him make a pitch, don't go 281 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 4: give him an easy lazy fly ball. 282 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: That was just that.

You gotta 407 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 3: find a dirt. 408 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 1: Speaking of not having a job, and again we'll keep 409 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: you posted on the Yankees and the Blue Jays again, 410 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: five to one, top of the ninth inning, one out, 411 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: one on for the Yankees. 412 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 2: Is there a rule where Aaron Judge come about three 413 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 2: times in the same minue. 414 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 4: If there is it, there will be after this year, 415 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 4: because yeah, this is going to be great for Major 416 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 4: League Baseball to say we're gonna beat Judge three times 417 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 4: in a row. 418 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 3: Now he's gonna go up again.

Why why it was working so 422 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 4: well until that one game that everybody got mad about. 423 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: So Bill bella check. Either is going to be fired, 424 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: going to be bought out, or going to coach the 425 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: rest of the season for North Carolina. One of these 426 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: things is happening. But let's give you the backstory to this. 427 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: Earlier today, a couple of insiders came out with stories 428 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick and the North Carolina tar Heels have 429 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: started conversations about a buyout. Things are not going well. 430 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 1: Obviously they're two and three UID fans leaving the stadium 431 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: in droves. Last week against Kate klub Nicks killed Bill 432 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: Belichick and knocked the guy out. 433 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 4: Well, we played the audio they interviewed a girl who's 434 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,120 Speaker 4: going to North Carolina saying, yeah, I was at that game. 435 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 3: I failed a couple of mid terms and that was worse. 436 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 1: So it's not been great. It started out the first 437 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: half of the first quarter of their opening game was good, 438 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: but that's really been it for North Carolina. But now 439 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: today again a couple of reports that the plug could 440 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: be pulled on the Bill Belichick experiment. Belichick could be 441 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: leaving if he finds a saw landing, either with another 442 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: team or with a broadcast job. Forget about being another team. 443 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: No one else is hiring for that walking. 444 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 4: Additionally, there are reports that potentially things have been weird 445 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 4: with Belichick and his staff the last few days during 446 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 4: the bye week, there were the coaches couldn't get a 447 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 4: hold of him. He's been distant from the team. You've 448 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 4: had some disharmony in the locker room. You already had 449 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 4: a little bit of legality issues with when it comes 450 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 4: to improprieties over the course of the last seven plus days. 451 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 4: So things are not great at North Carolina, and evidently 452 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 4: an edict that they couldn't reference former Tar Heels star 453 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 4: Drake May and his win over the Bills. 454 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 3: The Patriots tweets. 455 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 4: The byproduct of this story today has been two statements, 456 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 4: one from Bill Belichick and one from North Carolina. Belichick 457 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: put out a statement saying, quote, I'm fully committed to 458 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 4: North Carolina football and the program we're building here. 459 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: Let it. Director Bubba Cunningham said, quote Belichick quote the 460 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: full support of the North Carolina administration. Now, this is 461 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: either a load of crap. This has either been a 462 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: story that someone took and run with and went a 463 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: little bit further. But it doesn't matter. Okay, all of 464 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: that is irrelevant because this is going to be a 465 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: one and done year for Bill Belichick. I told you 466 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: this in the spring. He's not going to get fired. 467 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: As bad as it was, as awkward as it's been 468 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: with Belichick and Jordan Hudson. His girlfriend is part of 469 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: the story too, that hey, her constant presence around the 470 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: program is not great, but look, it's not going to happen. 471 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: They hired the guy to coach He's going to coach 472 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: this year. If he doesn't win, he's out. It's that simple. 473 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: And the off season, North Carolina went through dealing with 474 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: the controversy of Belichick's interview with CBS where Jordan Hudson 475 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: jumped in and they dealt with the fallout from that. 476 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: That was bad enough, and it was if you win, 477 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: everything will be forgiven. Right, we know you win, everything 478 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: will be forgiven. Belichick is not winning, but not only that, 479 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: you are seeing the worst thing that just happened on Saturday, 480 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: and that is apathy with the program. You are five 481 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: games into his tenure and fans were leaving at halftime 482 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: of this game. Fans have had it. Okay, what's gonna happen? 483 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Eventually, sometime between now and the end 484 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: of the season, Bill Belichick will be gone at North Carolina. 485 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: Maybe it's in a week, Maybe he coaches the rest 486 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: of the year, Maybe it's they have to figure out 487 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: a buyout, or maybe it's the day after the season ends. 488 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: Belichick is gone. 489 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: This is it. 490 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know how many more times we're gonna see 491 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,880 Speaker 1: him take the field as North Carolina's head coach. Maybe one, 492 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: maybe two, maybe five. But at the end of this year, 493 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: that ends the Bill Belichick experiment. This has gone horribly 494 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: wrong on so many levels, so many levels. And again 495 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: I go back to saying I knew when college football 496 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 1: was too much for him when he banned Patriots personnel 497 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: from scouting his players for the NFL. He decided, because 498 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: of his petty feud with the New England Patriots, I'm 499 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: gonna make it difficult for you to see how good 500 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: our players are. Right opening night, he wouldn't put a 501 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: depth chart out, so all the scouts at the game, 502 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: because if you start for North Carolina, potentially there's a 503 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: few guys at NFL raiders. Maybe not first round picks, 504 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: but guy's in the third, fourth, fifth round. They all 505 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: have NFL dreams. You're starting at North Carolina, You're started 506 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Power five conference. And Belichick made it more difficult for 507 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: scouts to get to watch his players because he wants 508 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: to play this ridiculous game. I'm now the lord of 509 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 1: football at North Carolina. We're gonna reinvent college football here. 510 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: Remember when he came in his big press conference, nutrition 511 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: everything else. Yeah, okay, he was never up for the 512 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: challenge of college football, never was whether he thought he 513 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: was too smart, or thought I don't need to work 514 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: as hard and I can dominate college football because of 515 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: the coach I am. What I've done at the pro level, 516 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: I can go up and give you seventy percent and 517 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: win in college. Can't do that now. Rules are different, right, 518 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: everything is different. You see the young guys coming in 519 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: right now that are actually doing well and coming. These 520 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: are guys that've never been head coaches before, but they 521 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: jump in because they get the nil system. They get 522 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: about recruiting players. They are tireless workers. This is college football. 523 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: You can't come in and say, well, I'm gonna give 524 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: you my system. You're all gonna buy in. He's never 525 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: been cut out for college football. I knew in the 526 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: beginning when he's making it hard for the NFL to 527 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: see his players. Oh sorry, guys, sorry that you're my guys. 528 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: You're sweating for me every single day and we're going 529 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: through this together. I'm gonna make it harder for the 530 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: NFL to see you, to see you try to get 531 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: to the NFL. That's when I knew. And you see 532 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: how this has played out. Nothing is good. So yeah, 533 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: is it gonna end? 534 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 5: Yes? 535 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: And that's the best thing and the most accurate thing 536 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: I can say is that even if this report is 537 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: seventy percent, if it's thirty percent, sometime between now and 538 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: the end of the season is the end of the 539 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 1: run for Belichick at North Carolina. 540 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: Lot of curiosity with all of it. Right, it was 541 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 3: the off season. 542 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's got the girlfriend, and everybody can have their 543 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 4: glib one liners or whatever else. That's fine, But when 544 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 4: it came to the football side of things, it was okay, 545 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 4: now we're building. We're starting essentially from scratch, will build 546 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 4: this program. And you're relying on your history, your reputation, 547 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 4: your rings to get you going, whatever Lombardi's doing on 548 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 4: the business side of things. That you were expecting some 549 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 4: level of confidence, well clearly it's a vote of no 550 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 4: confidence on that side as well. And you had a 551 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 4: ton of players come into the system and you're trying 552 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 4: trying to learn. You had a schedule that on paper, right, 553 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 4: We've talked with Pete Futech about this for weeks and 554 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 4: months at this point, Uh, the idea of all, right, 555 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: there's there's enough winnable games on the schedule if you're 556 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 4: playing decent football. 557 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: Well they're not. I mean in any way, shape or form. 558 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 3: It's it's been an absolute failure. And now you have 559 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: questions about armand Hawkins. He gets suspended, the quarterbacks coach 560 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 3: he used to work with Steve Belichick at Washington. 561 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 6: Uh. 562 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 4: And you've got players allegedly having sold off their tickets, 563 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 4: like you've got a bunch of n CAA is not 564 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 4: coming around for anybody at this point.

Right you think, oh, Jason's gonna go 785 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: crazy the Yankees around. Yes, there is that because, like 786 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: I said, the Yankees losing is like the Mets winning. 787 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: I no longer have to worry about the Yankees winning 788 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: the World Series. So I'm happy today's a good day. 789 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: But if I'm honest about the Yankee, I think, if 790 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: you're honest about the Yankee this is not one of 791 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: those ha ha look at what they blew. This is 792 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: not ha ha all the star talent and then look 793 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,360 Speaker 1: they couldn't win. This is a Yankee team that was 794 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: pretty good. This is not a Yankee team that was overwhelming. 795 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: This is not a Yankee team that had talent up 796 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,799 Speaker 1: and down the lineup. This was not a team that, hey, 797 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 1: we're paying four hundred million dollars and look, we can't 798 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: even get to the playoffs like the Mets. This was 799 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: a pretty good Yankee team that had holes, right and 800 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: clearly the biggest hole. 801 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 4: And we talked about this throughout the year, and things 802 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 4: might have been different for the Yeah. In fact, they 803 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,919 Speaker 4: definitely would have been different if you had a Garrett Cole. 804 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 4: If Garrett Cole was healthy, they probably would have won 805 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 4: the Al East. They probably would have had a better 806 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 4: playoff experience because Garrett Cole has been lights out in 807 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 4: the playoffs, one of the best playoff pitchers in the 808 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 4: history of baseball. I think he's twelve and six ERA 809 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 4: at like two and a half. He's been terrific. I 810 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 4: mean outside of not covering first base, well, Garrett Cole 811 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 4: has been terrific. 812 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 2: That doesn't. 813 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't show up there. 814 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 4: But I feel pretty confident in saying that, Hey, when 815 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 4: you miss your stopper every fifth day, especially in the playoffs, 816 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 4: it's gonna be different. 817 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: This is a very appropriate ending for the Yankees this year. Yeah, 818 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: they were pretty good. They were good in the beginning. 819 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: They faltered a little bit midway through. They had a 820 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: good run at the end. You're a ninety ish win team, 821 00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: you won the first round of the playoffs. You go 822 00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,760 Speaker 1: home to a team that has a much better lineup. 823 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 1: They rake top to bottom and they beat you in 824 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: the first two games of the series. Hey, we had 825 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 1: out There was eight to nothing after the second inning 826 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 1: the first two games. This is very like I don't 827 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: look at this as a wasted experience, a wasted opportunity, 828 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,839 Speaker 1: the Yankees embarrassing themselves. This was a very appropriate ending 829 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: for a team of this talent that had holes, that 830 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,800 Speaker 1: had guys that didn't hit, and they have to figure 831 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: out next season. You have to figure things out because 832 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 1: you have holes to fill. With the Yankees, number one 833 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 1: thing is are you bringing your manager back? Is your 834 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: general manager coming back? Those are the things you have 835 00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: to start with. But this was not an unbeatable Yankee team. 836 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: If you say, in the middle of the summer, I 837 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,040 Speaker 1: remember saying, well, this is a team they could go 838 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 1: home any time. They can make the playoffs, they can 839 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 1: make a surprise run, because any team can get hot 840 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But clearly if the Yankees lose, yeah, 841 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: that's kind of on brand for this team because it's 842 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 1: not like they they they they didn't live up to expectation. 843 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: This is a very again, a very appropriate ending for 844 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 1: the Yankees. 845 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 4: He go through their roster and for the Blue Jays, 846 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 4: just to make the note, they didn't even have Bishett 847 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 4: available to this point, right, he's still on the comeback trail, 848 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 4: so part of the lineup that you're still like plugging 849 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 4: holes and adequately so and then some. But for the Yankees, 850 00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 4: just go to the pitching side. You had freedom, you 851 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 4: had Rodin and then he had a lot of guys. 852 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 4: The fact that Schlittler had to become superhuman like and 853 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 4: all New York hopes were on him. 854 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: Starting pitcher until July and suddenly it's like tho, It's 855 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,719 Speaker 1: like the at least a little bit more like when 856 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 1: Nolan McClean come up for the Mets, it's he's our 857 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: best pitcher. He's had two starts, yes, because everybody else 858 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: thinks now, but now. Schlittler was kind of a different 859 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: version of that because he's a guy that came up 860 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: the middle of the season. All of a sudden, he 861 00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: now he's got to save our year. 862 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 4: Huge strikeout right we saw him in his last start 863 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,759 Speaker 4: was unbelievable. The twelve strikeouts against zero walks. Had a 864 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 4: great start tonight, right, six and two thirds, two earned 865 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:08,960 Speaker 4: runs allowed. 866 00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 3: You'll take that. 867 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 4: Every day of the week. And unfortunately the offense couldn't 868 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 4: back it up. We had opportunities runners on base for 869 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 4: the Yankees in multiple innings and they just couldn't push 870 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 4: the run home. And we talked a lot about the 871 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 4: Austin Wells at bat, which is just awful. Right on 872 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 4: that plus Volpi, who was the highly heralded prospect, and 873 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 4: again for for the balance of the season, the numbers 874 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 4: look fine, but situationally and with the huge strikeout totals, 875 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 4: it's a loss right, and he's he's an average shortstop 876 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 4: at best in terms of the field. 877 00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,320 Speaker 1: Overall, he is in a he is a plus player overall, 878 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: he's overall sure, but he's not. 879 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 3: But everybody he thought he was going to be a 880 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 3: world b and it's not right. 881 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: And and that's the thing, is that the end all 882 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 1: their kid that's the thing the Yankee they think all 883 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 1: their kids coming up are great. Everybody's awesome. You know, 884 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but the rest of the league season, Okay, 885 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: these guys aren't all awesome. I'm sorry about that. Played 886 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: a lot, was solid, not spectacular. And she keep going 887 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: on down the line. Jason, it was just last week 888 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,320 Speaker 1: you said the Yankees were a team of destiny. I 889 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: thought they were a team of dead. They would Oh, 890 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm okay with not being right about that. Calling your dad, 891 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,320 Speaker 1: I am completely okay with that. We'll have to do 892 00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: a wellness check. But we were having this discussion if 893 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: they went quietly. Is Judge's home run now just a 894 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: joint all? It really doesn't matter. 895 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 5: He's going to kick your ass. 896 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 3: Great. Series, doesn't matter. Done. 897 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 1: Two big hot taggs coming off of the playoff. Next 898 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: Fox
