1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Welcome dude, Neil, y'all sits.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: All right.

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. We are ninety eight days

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 3: from pitchers and catchers reporting to camp, and it's going

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: to be a long winter, so settle in. There's a

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 3: lot of work that needs to be done. Yankees have

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: a lot of free agents here, and you know, I

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: hope a lot of our coaches and a lot of

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: our players, and especially our manager spend some time brushing

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 3: up on the importance of baseball fundamentals this winter. If

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: anybody in the Yankees organization is watching, I can recommend

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: the Tom Emanski instructional video for the nineties. It's the

13
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 3: instructional video that gets results. As Fred McGriff said me personally,

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: I've been keeping busy working on the podcast. Obviously, we

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: introduced the new ticker last time out, got a slightly update. Look,

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: I'm also making some tweaks to the postgame show format.

17
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: You know, we made the adjustment last year where in

18
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: May we weren't allowed to use highlights anymore. But the

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 3: show had been built for highlights and things like that.

20
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of, you know, reimagining how the postgame

21
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: show will look next year. So that's gonna be a

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: lot of fun. But we're gonna put more emphasis on

23
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 3: just like a killer fun time and less redundant recaps, right,

24
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: because I always do the instant recap and then we

25
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: go back and you know, do the you know, the

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: full game recap. So we would normally have four topics

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: that we would talk talk about. This year, we're gonna

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: have five, and then we'll go straight into like the

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: belt and we're gonna have a new award next year

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: for the players who perform the worst, right. You know,

31
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 3: we haven't officially named it the Trojans Boner of the

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 3: Week Award, but we'll see, we'll see, all right. So

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk over the past couple

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: of years about is so called audit that the Yankees

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: are undergoing, and I thought it would be a good

36
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: exercise for me to perform my own audit, right, to

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 3: discuss the things that I feel this team could change

38
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: in order to make the Yankees the gold standard again. Right,

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 3: the Dodgers have kind of been viewed as the gold standard.

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: That's why Otani went there. He basically went there for nothing.

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 3: He wanted to join an organization that was basically doing

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 3: everything right, and the Yankees can get to that place again.

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: So this podcast is going to be less about the

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 3: individual players and less about you know, trades and free

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 3: agents and things like that, and more about what the

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 3: Yankees can do in a number of different areas to

47
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: make themselves better. So let's start with the obvious one.

48
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: They need to stop playing New York New York by

49
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: Frank Sinatra after losses. They got to stop doing it.

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: I saw someone suggest they play That's Life, That's Life,

51
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 3: That's how you lived it. I expect that the Yankees

52
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: could do justice fine playing that after games and save

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 3: New York New York for wins, because the mood of

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: the song doesn't match a loss, right, and it takes

55
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: away from how special it is to hear New York

56
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: after they win, right. You gotta differentiate between winning and

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 3: losing again. Number two, they need to treat their prospects

58
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: with much more respect. They have totally ruined the career

59
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: of Oswald Pirazza. They're trying the best they can to

60
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 3: ruin Jason Dominguez. The way they treat their prospects is

61
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: just disrespectful. They give guys numbers like ninety five and

62
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: eighty nine in spring training and that's been the case

63
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: for years. And then when the season begins or they

64
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: get called up, they don't switch them to a lower number.

65
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 3: They leave them with these astronomical, disrespectful numbers. And I

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: know how you saying a numbers disrespectful, it's just you know,

67
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: in Yankee tradition, that's just how it's always been. But

68
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: that's one place where they've gotten away from the tradition

69
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: is they don't value lower numbers anymore. And then when

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: they get called up, a lot of times they don't play,

71
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: or they get erratic playing time. They'll play a day,

72
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 3: they'll get a day off, play two days, hit a

73
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: home run, and then get two days off. They have

74
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: got to give their prospects more of a chance when

75
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: they get to the major leagues. And shout out to

76
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: Aiden on this one, my social guy. He says that

77
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: the Yankees are way too stubborn, and I agree with him.

78
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: That was a great way to put it. How long

79
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: do they stick with Aaron Hicks and Josh Donaldson when

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: they knew they were washed up, right, they stuck with

81
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: him forever. DJ Lemayhew had two hundred and one at

82
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: bats this season, had a negative one point six war.

83
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 3: But if you ask Brian Cashman, I guarantee you, I

84
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: guarantee you, he'll say that le Mayhew is in the

85
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: mix to start at first base next year or at

86
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: third base, both of which are patently absurd. The guy

87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: can't hit anymore. He can barely move anymore. His feet

88
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: are finished. He's not a professional athlete anymore. He's gonna

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: be in the Beer League with Aaron Hicks and Josh

90
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: Donaldson in a year. They probably stuck with Rizzo too

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 3: long too. I know he had a couple of hits

92
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: in the playoffs, but the power has been gone for

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: a while. And there's still a chance the Yankees could

94
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: bring him back next year, although I doubt it, but

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: some have speculated he could come back on a team

96
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: friendly contract. Just way too stubborn. They stick with guys

97
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: who are obviously done for way too long, way way

98
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: too stubborn. Number four, they have to make the franchise

99
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: more fun and less corporate. I get one of those

100
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: Bronx City connect jerseys to start with.

101
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: I get it.

102
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: You don't want people coming to the stadium for the

103
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: first time and not getting to see the pinstripes but

104
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: I think the younger crowd that you're trying to tune

105
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: into Yankees fans or turn into Yankees fans rather, I

106
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: think they like things like fun alternate jerseys. I don't

107
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: have any data to show that. I didn't do a

108
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: focus group, but I get a lot of questions from

109
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: young kids like, hey, you're gonna the Yankees gonna get

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: a city connect right, Things like that that can make

111
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: the you know, the season more fun. I liked when

112
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: they did the Field the Dreams game and they wore

113
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: the old time uniforms. I thought that was great. I

114
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 3: like the military hats. I like, you know, when they

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: do for Mother's Day or Father's Day they change the

116
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: uniforms a little bit. A city connect would be fun.

117
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 3: You could even wear it on the road. Nobody says

118
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: you got to wear it at home. Rep the bronx

119
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: on the road as like a blue alternate right, blue

120
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: pinstripes on the road or something like that. Have fun

121
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: with it where someone well looks like this, this this

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: jersey's the bomb, and it's comfortable. I get it. It's

123
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 3: a marketing gimmick, as John the Beagle Dad says, but

124
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 3: it's fun. It's fun this entertainment business, right, and number

125
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: five going to be controversial, and I'm not saying you

126
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: have to love it or hate it, but reconsider the

127
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: beard rule. This is not a tradition that dates back

128
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: one hundred years. This was introduced with Steinbrenner in the

129
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: early seventies. You know, if Babe Ruth wanted to grow

130
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: a giant beard, he could have. It says something about

131
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: the culture with the Yankees that every time a player

132
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: gets traded or science elsewhere as a free agent, they

133
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: immediately grow a beard, every one of them. Allowing people

134
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: to express themselves authentically, including things like facial hair, could

135
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: make them a little more comfortable. And anyone who's ever

136
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: managed people will tell you that the more comfortable someone is,

137
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: the better they perform. So those are just a few

138
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: of my thoughts on the cultural changes that I think

139
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: the Yankees should consider. I know the beard thing is

140
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 3: going to be controversial, and look, everyone gets to have

141
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: their own opinion on it. I'm not saying I would

142
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: necessarily one get rid of the rule, but I would

143
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: adjust the rule. I think I think maybe you know

144
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: it's time to explore letting well groomed facial hair, right,

145
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: somebody wants a little a light beard, you know, maybe

146
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: you know a little more than a five o'clock shadow

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: that I've got now. And by the way, I went

148
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: down too far on my razor the other day and

149
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: I was so I had to do the whole beard

150
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: ough aggravating. So it's growing back, it's going back, but

151
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: it's in the awkward stage right now. Anyway, Let's talk

152
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: a little bit about positional stability. Another thing the Yankees

153
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: need to get better at is playing guys in their

154
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: natural position. Over the past few years, we've had a

155
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: lot of guys out of position. Glabor came up as

156
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 3: a second basement. He moved a shortstop, that was a failure,

157
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: moved back to second basement. Hasn't been the same since

158
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: I can't. Was acquired as a gold Glove third baseman

159
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: and they put him at shortstop.

160
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: And he failed.

161
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: Jazz Chisholm never played third base before as a professional

162
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: until the Yankees traded for him. John Birdie played first

163
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: base for the first time ever in the American League

164
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: Division Series. Oswaldo Cabrera came up as an infielder and

165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: immediately moved to the outfield, and he was good as

166
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: a right fielder, and then he moved back to the infield.

167
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 3: He went from right field to left field. Now he's

168
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: back in the infield's playing some first base. Aaron Judge

169
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: is one of the best right fielders in baseball, and

170
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: he's a serviceable center fielder. The numbers will show he's

171
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 3: about average and center, but he's a Gold Glove caliber

172
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: right fielder who steals two or three home runs a year,

173
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 3: and the Yankees been playing him in center field for

174
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: two of the last three seasons. John Carlos Stanton was

175
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: a right fielder in Miami. They brought him in, they

176
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 3: moved him to left field. Now he's a permanent DH.

177
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: Anthony Vopi is a find shortstop. Won a Gold Glove

178
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: as a rookie, but it's been obvious since the first

179
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 3: time many of us saw him that the arm strength

180
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 3: was lacking a little bit. We saw that hurt the

181
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 3: Yankees a few times this year. I think he would

182
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: be an amazing second baseman. I don't think short stops

183
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: a position for him, even though he's pretty good. I

184
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: think he'd be a Gold Glove second basement. But you

185
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: got Jazz Chism moving back over there and Vope he's

186
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: not going anywhere, so I mean, we're just talking about

187
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: guys playing out of position. Juan Soto played left field

188
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: when he came to Yankee Stadium with the Padres. Yankees

189
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 3: put him in right field, And yes, I know that

190
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: you got to have a better defender for left field,

191
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: and Juan Soto is not a good defender. He's not fast,

192
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 3: so leftfield isn't a great match, so you had to

193
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 3: put him in right field. But that meant you have

194
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: to move Judge off the position. Why not move Judge

195
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: to left field and open up center field for one

196
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: of your top prospects, Mister demihez something they might have

197
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: to do next year. You just never saw this with

198
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: any other championship teams. Bernie was always in center, O'Neil

199
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: was always in right, Brocius was at third. Before that,

200
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: it was Bog's and Hayes Tino was at first. Nah

201
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 3: Block was it second. The only thing that made differentiate

202
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: from this was they moved him to left after the

203
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: Yips began, But guys had established positions. Jeter out there

204
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: at short every night. Got a comment here from YouTube

205
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 3: commenter says Cashman's recent comments are disturbing. I don't think

206
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 3: he's capable of correcting the problems because he doesn't think

207
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: there are problems. You might be right, You might be right.

208
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: He does seem to have a lot of confidence in

209
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: the team's base running. He recently said that they're considered

210
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: to have one of the best base running programs in baseball.

211
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 3: But that was not true. That was not true. Let's

212
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: talk a little bit about the baseball changes that need

213
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: to be made, and we'll get into the base running

214
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: in just a second. But they need to learn to

215
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: get better at baseball at large. They struck out way

216
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: too many times again this year. A lot of these

217
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: guys have no two strike approach. Jazz Chisholm, Anthony Volpie,

218
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: Austin Wells. Until the playoffs, John Carlos Stanton wouldn't change.

219
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: None of these guys have a two strike approach, and

220
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: come to think it, Wells really only had one good

221
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: breakout game in the World Series with two strikes and

222
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 3: men on base. You have to prioritize putting the ball

223
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: in play. Strike out way too much, and as the

224
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: Dodgers proved in the playoffs, sometimes if you put the

225
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: ball in play, the other team will screw it up. Also,

226
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of the Yankees hits come

227
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: with two outs in the inning, or their rallies come

228
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: in the ninth inning, when it's too late. They'll have

229
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: two it'll take too long to get ramped up. I'm

230
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: not sure exactly how to solve that problem. It would

231
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: just be nice to see them be a little bit

232
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: more effective earlier in the game. The Yankees need to

233
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: go from first to third better, especially like you know,

234
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: beginning of an inning, you got a guy walks to

235
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: lead off the inning, you get a base hit. You

236
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: want first and third right away, so if you get

237
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: a double play, you still score a run. The Yankees

238
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 3: are great at creating traffic on the basis. We heard

239
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: that Boone quote all year long. We had a lot

240
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 3: of traffic on the basis, just couldn't get the big hit.

241
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: It's right there in front of us. But the traffic

242
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 3: can't be stationed to station. You've got to have some

243
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: guys that get around the bases. I think they'll get

244
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 3: better at that next year, full season of jazz chism,

245
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: third year for Anthony Bolby. Be aggressive on balls in

246
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: the dirt and maybe a little bit more conservative when

247
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: the situation calls for it. Stop getting thrown out at

248
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: home with no outs or one out in the inning.

249
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: You need to stop getting picked off so much. And

250
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: how many times this year did we see them go

251
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: on contact with a runner on third base in less

252
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: than two outs and the balls hit right at somebody

253
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 3: and he gets thrown out at home. In my mind,

254
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: there are only three guys who should be getting the

255
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 3: green light to go in contact from third Jazz Volpi

256
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 3: and John Birdie, because all those guys are fast and

257
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: could be to throw. That might include Domingaz two next year.

258
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: I want to see a little bit more. But he's fast.

259
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: Everyone else gets thrown out going home. The Yankees got

260
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: thrown out eighteen times at home this year. League average

261
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: was fourteen. Doesn't sound like a lot. That's twenty eight

262
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: percent worse than the league average. Labor Torres worst offender,

263
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: he got thrown out at home six times. I don't

264
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: think he's going to be a problem on the basis

265
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: next year because I don't think he's going to be

266
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: on the team next year. Our outfielders have got to

267
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 3: hit the cutoff man better. We have gotten way way

268
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: too aggressive with our throws in the last year. This

269
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 3: began with Clint Frazier and Aaron Hicks. They were the

270
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: worst at this. Juan Soto and Alex Dugo both had

271
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: a ton of assists from the outfield, but they also

272
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: overthrow the cutoff man all the time, and that lets

273
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: runners advance on the bases. So let's say you got

274
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: a guy on second and a guy hits a base

275
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: hit to left field. Well, Verdugo would throw home to

276
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: try and get the runner, and if he didn't get him,

277
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: the guy who had the hit is now on second base.

278
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 3: Whereas if you hit the cutoff you at least stop

279
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 3: that guy at first and maybe you get the runner

280
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 3: at home if it's a good throw. They've got to

281
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 3: get better at hitting the cutoff man. And yes, base

282
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: running is a huge problem, and I disagree, I fundamentally

283
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 3: disagree with Brian Cashman that this team is in the

284
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: upper astelont of base running. Those are booze for Brian Cashman.

285
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: We got to talk about this team's effort. Even in

286
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: the World Series. We had guys not running out balls,

287
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 3: not running out ground balls, fly balls, whatever. Verdugo and

288
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: Glabor Torres were the ones I noticed. Maybe Jazz Chisholm

289
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: once but this is where you need somebody like Jeter

290
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: to talk to the team and explain precisely that it

291
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: is possible to run every time out of the box.

292
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 3: Matt Suey did it, A Rod did it. Paul O'Neil

293
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: did it. Oh that Paul O'Neil, I think once or

294
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: twice would get pissed off of himself and he wouldn't run.

295
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: But you never saw Matt Suey did that. You never

296
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: saw a Rod do that. You hit the ball head

297
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: down and run. These guys are baseball players. The one

298
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: exemption that I forgive is John Carlos Stanton because if

299
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: he sprints, he's going on the il or in a casket.

300
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 3: The Yankees have finally figured that out, thankfully. Can't send

301
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: him from third either. He's stationed to station.

302
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: Period.

303
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 3: He gets on base, he hits a single, gonna need

304
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: a home run or a couple of more hits to

305
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 3: get him in. That's just the way it goes. And

306
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 3: then you hope that he goes nuclear once in a while.

307
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: But everyone else needs to stop taking place. For granted, yeah,

308
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 3: you're down by two runs in the ninth inning. You

309
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: hit a weak round ball to shortstop, so you jog

310
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 3: down the first What if the throw pulls the first

311
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: basement off the bag, what if it's in the dirt.

312
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: Now you're on base if the guy hits a two

313
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: run home run, but only if you're running, and if

314
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: you're not, it's embarrassing. There's just no reason not to

315
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: run to first base as hard as you can every time.

316
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 3: Watch the Dodgers, watch Mookie Betts. Great players run every time.

317
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 3: And finally, before we get to your calls, I want

318
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: to talk about leadership on this team. Bashman is already

319
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 3: signaling that Aaron Boone's going to get an extension. He's

320
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: got an option, they haven't picked it up. He's probably

321
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: gonna come back, and he's had some moments good and bad.

322
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 3: He sticks up for his players. I like that he

323
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 3: sticks up for the players with the strike zone, not

324
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 3: afraid to get tossed. I like that his bullpen management,

325
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: as we saw in the postseason, leaves a lot to

326
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: be desired. And the sloppy play has to at some

327
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: level come back to the manager and the coaching staff,

328
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 3: the leaders that are not putting emphasis on the right

329
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 3: things on clean baseball, the base running stuff we mentioned,

330
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 3: but I think this team needs to dedicate itself to

331
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: some defensive drills, playing the carem, doing relays. It can't

332
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 3: be all like, let's just take a few shag fly

333
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: balls in batting practice and practice some double plays with

334
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: some fungos. You've got to do some real baseball work.

335
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: I don't care how many games you play. Practice makes

336
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: you better. They may not have Alan iverson up there

337
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: going talking about practice, but that's the way they come

338
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 3: off by when they showcase that they're not doing it

339
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: with these fundamental errors. I think the Yankees need a

340
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 3: new bench coach. I'm not saying replaced Brad Ostmas, but

341
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: maybe bring somebody else in who's kind of like a

342
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: bench coach emeritus. You know, Tory had Don Zimmer, a

343
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: guy with an infinite amount of baseball knowledge who had

344
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: won before. Where can we get somebody who's seen it all,

345
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: who maybe has won with the Yankees, Somebody like Willie

346
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 3: Randolph or Tino Martinez or Jorge Pisada to sit on

347
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 3: the bench every game and his only job is to

348
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: watch the fundamentals, to remind guys to hustle, to come

349
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 3: up with, you know, things that hey, you might expect

350
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: this in a certain situation and just put things in

351
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 3: guy's mind so there's no surprises. One guy I thought

352
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 3: could be a good addition, and you guys can tell

353
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 3: me if you you know how you feel about this.

354
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: Tim Rains. I thought Tim Rains was a great role

355
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: player with the Yankee With the Yankees, brother, you know,

356
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 3: he he coached up the younger guys. He came off

357
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: the bench. He was always a good base runner, he

358
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 3: was a switch hitter. He played for a really really

359
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 3: long time twenty three years in the major leagues. Imagine

360
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: all the stuff he's seen currently working as a minor

361
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 3: league base running coach for the Blue Jays. I bet

362
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: you could lure him away help us with base running

363
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: at the major league level, but also just be there

364
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: for like insight, experience and something to tie us to

365
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: the past. Tim Rains would be somebody I would try

366
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: and get back in the Yankee dugout in some fashion.

367
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 3: All right, real quick word from our sponsor today while

368

388
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to some voicemails here. This one's

389
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 3: on Alex Bregman.

390
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, whato, Derek, you go ahead? From the blogs. He's

391
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: saying to show my brother, Hey, I really like the

392
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: thought of us picking up Alex Bregman to play third,

393
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: and we just moved Chrisham over the second. You need

394
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: a villain in the team, and I feel like Bregman

395
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: plays with him edge and it won't be no JOHNS

396
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Donaldson type shit, Like he's actually gonna perform. He's gonna

397
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: play a solid DS third and we know he's built

398
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: for the big moment. What you think on that, bro?

399
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I recently put out a blueprint that included

400
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: the moves I would make for next seasons. Matter of fact,

401
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: we can probably put it up on the screen. Let

402
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: me just double check, make sure I've got it here.

403
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 2: No, I don't have it.

404
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: Uh So I'm in favor of Bregman. If you bring

405
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: back Soto, I say go all in. The problem with

406
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: Bregman is he was part of that Astros team that cheated,

407
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 3: and so Cashman is not going to reward him with

408
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: a contract. It's more of like a like if this

409
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 3: was MLB the show, you definitely do it. But I

410
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 3: can't see the Yankees actually doing it. Although I have

411
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 3: been surprised before.

412
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on, Derek? This is Brian just wanted

413
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 4: to throw a possible trade proposal out there for you

414
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 4: see what you thought. I don't really play with the

415
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 4: you know, the the trade calculated and stuff like that online.

416
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure how this adds up on there,

417
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 4: but just to show general idea out anyway, Yankees in general,

418
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 4: from my perspective, have depth, actually a lot of depth

419
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 4: in the pitching department, specifically starting pitching and me personally

420
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 4: with bringing Cole back. I know he had that injury

421
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 4: earlier in the season, but I'm actually not.

422
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: Too worried about Cole. He's had a.

423
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: Pretty pretty healthy career. My concerns are actually more alone

424
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 4: in the lines with Nestor and if he can pass

425
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 4: you know, the physicals and different examinations of other teams,

426
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: other teams do. I think he'd be one of the

427
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: perfect trade candidates. So my trade is with a team

428
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 4: like the Texas Rangers who want a trim payroll. They've

429
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: had multiple, multiple basically statements and stuff talking about them

430
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: wanting to trim it. I am thinking that we could

431
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: do something like Nestor for Maason Lowe and Nasamuel low

432
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 4: There's other depth pieces out there that we could get

433
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 4: for the cheap, like a six dough Sanchez to somebody

434
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: that you could grab up. That would be, you know,

435
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 4: relatively cheap.

436
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 3: And all right, I'm gonna cut you off there. Land

437
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: the plane a little sooner, Brian. I appreciate the call,

438
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: but let's keep it under two minutes. So I'm thinking

439
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 3: about the Rangers. They like Nathaniel Low. I think they're

440
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: gonna try and resign him, but he's a good player.

441
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 3: I think he would match up well with the Yankees.

442
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna go with Ben Rice though he's cheaper.

443
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 3: He's got pop. He's coming up through the system. He's

444
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: a good hitter. He just didn't hit good at the

445
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 3: major league level. He hit good to the miners, and

446
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: I think he's got a little bit of a hole

447
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: in a swing. You throw it down and in and

448
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: he's gonna swing over it. You throw it up and in,

449
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 3: he's gonna chase and he's gonna swing under it. Eliminate

450
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: those two spots or get better at hitting to the

451
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 3: hitting them, and he's gonna be a good ballplayer. He's

452
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 3: got power, he's got pop.

453
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that. Bob Costas finally retired as a

454
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 2: play by play guy. Yeah, that was long overdue. Of course,

455
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 2: he's talking about himself like he's Vin Scully or Mel

456
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 2: Allen she was never close to. But at least he

457
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: admitted he isn't up to the level he used to

458
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 2: be now because he sucked when he did the friggin

459
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: series with the Yankees and the Royals. Oh my god,

460
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 2: it's horrible. Everybody agreed on that. Yeah, so that's it.

461
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: All right, good decision, Bob, good call.

462
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bob was on MLB Network the other day and

463
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: he was talking about why he decided to hang it up.

464
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: He was taking a lot of heat after that series.

465
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: He just he wouldn't let the game breathe. I still

466
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 3: think that he's a good play by play guy, Like

467
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 3: he understands the game well and he's good at explaining it.

468
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 3: But he's been around so long that he has a

469
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 3: story for everything. But sometimes you got to keep those

470
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 3: stories in your pocket, and he was just rolling with

471
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 3: all of them. So all right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm

472
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: gonna do a breakout clip for the culture segment, maybe
