1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: All right, but it to feel you. It's Thursday, July eleventh, 2 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: and the Yankees were trying to do the unthinkable win 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: a series. Nester Cortez Junior was on the mound and 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: hoping to get a little bit of offensive support for 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: a change. My recap your reactions coming up next. This 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:29,640 Speaker 1: is then, why why recaps? Dude can stay your pull 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: me back, Welcome back everybody. Jay Apolo says it best. 8 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: He says, I am so sick of this damn losing 9 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: me too, Me too, buddy. Another brutal loss for the Yankees, 10 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: a ton of missed opportunities, guys left on base all night, 11 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: another poor pitching performance from Nestor Cortes, more bad umpiring, 12 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: and worst of all, yet another series loss. And as 13 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: this team heads into the most important series of the 14 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: season thus far against Baltimore, they're not showing signs of 15 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: being the type of team that can go into enemy 16 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: territory and win a big series. It is unfathomable how 17 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: quickly this team has fallen. I know a lot of 18 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: you like it when I rant, but we're past the 19 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: point of ranting. I am begging this team to get 20 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: us act together before this becomes yet another collapse on 21 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: the watches of manager Aaron Boone and general manager Brian Cashman, 22 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: who have got to be ashamed watching this team. I 23 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: always begin these podcasts with kind of an instant reaction 24 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: to what we just watched while the thoughts and emotions 25 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: are fresh in my mind, and tonight I got a 26 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: lot of mixed emotions. My first reaction is worry. I'm 27 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: worried about Juan Soto. I'm worried about the Yankees too, 28 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: but specifically Jan Soto seems to be in a lot 29 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: of pain with that hand. Whenever he swings and misses, 30 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: he grimaces, he recoils. We mentioned last night that Sodo 31 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: was perhaps beginning to heat up two hits in the 32 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: win another very good night tonight home run number twenty 33 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: two multi hit game, but he also has some very 34 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: painful swings and misses, more painful than we've seen, which 35 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: means perhaps the pain is becoming more acute, which could 36 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: mean the condition whatever's causing the pain pain just doesn't 37 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 1: come from nowhere. It's getting worse. Am I out of 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: line for thinking that Sodo should sit out the All 39 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: Star Game and rest his hand, take the whole week 40 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: off it's not worth it to taking it back in 41 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: a meaningless game and all the BP swings and all 42 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: that that goes with it. Five days rest. That's what 43 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: doctor Lewandowski is prescribing. My second reaction is frustration because 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: this was a very winnable game. This was a very 45 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: very winnable game. Yankees had I believe, eight men left 46 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: on ten men left on base. They went one for 47 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: nine with runners in scoring position. The only hit was 48 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: from Ben Rice in the ninth inning. We'll talk about 49 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Nester in a second. He was dog piss again. But 50 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: too many Yankees are being left on base. Nobody's getting 51 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: the big hit with the runners in scoring position. Rice 52 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: is basically our best run producer right now, and he's 53 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: been in the league fifteen minutes. Unbelievable. Umpires were terrible again. 54 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: Umpires just continue to be unbelievably bad. What is the 55 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: qualification to be an umpire in Major League Baseball? Do 56 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: you just have to have a body? Do you have 57 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: to be alive with a pulse? Is that? It? Also? 58 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Last complaint, I want Volpi to wear a smaller helmet. 59 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: I know that's a stupid complaint. It was fun when 60 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: it was falling off on doubles and triples every other day, 61 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: but I'm tired of seeing it wobble down the first 62 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: baseline after he grounds out to shortstop. Talk about Nestor Cortez, 63 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: who was crap. For whatever reason, Nestor is just not 64 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: good when it comes to pitching on the road. Tonight 65 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: he was, for all intents and purposes, throwing batting practice 66 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: to the Rays. Saber is on vacation. He says he 67 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: stayed up till almost four to watch that game. Yikes, 68 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: that's I can't imagine that. I'm gonna stay up kind 69 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: of late tonight because I want to listen to that 70 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: new eminem album. But you know, Nestor hasn't been bad 71 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: at home. He hasn't been half bad at home, But 72 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: on the road he just can't get anybody out. And 73 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: through this tough stretch that the Yankees have been on, 74 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: it's been almost a complete inverse of the way the 75 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: team was playing when they were hot. Remember that streak 76 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: of games, probably three or four times through the rotation, 77 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like every single night we were getting six 78 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: innings and two runs or less from the rotation from 79 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: the starting pitchers. And now every night we're getting awful pitching, 80 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: awful pitching. We're not getting the timely hits we were getting. 81 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: You know, we were getting so many of those big 82 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: bases clearing doubles, whether it was Verdugo, whether it was Oswaldo, 83 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: whether it was Soto, and they're just not doing it anymore. 84 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: It just stopped. Somebody turned off the faucet. The hitting 85 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: has not been clutch. I know that. You know, everybody 86 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: loves Aaron Judge. I love Aaron Judge, best player I've 87 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: ever seen, But man, he slumps at the worst times. 88 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: He really does. Another very very tough night for the 89 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: Yankees offense. Judge now four for his last thirty one 90 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: second prolonged slump of the season. You hope he breaks 91 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: out of it against the Orioles because he always hits 92 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: pretty well in Baltimore, but he didn't do well last 93 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: time the Yankees were in Baltimore. I wouldn't be surprised 94 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: they don't pitch to him. Let's talk a little bit 95 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: about the standings here, because, as Yogi would say, it's 96 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: getting late early, and we're now ninety five games into 97 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: the season, and the Yankees' playoff aspirations are very much 98 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: in jeopardy if they don't write the ship very quickly. 99 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: Orioles lost to the Cubs tonight, but the Red Sox 100 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: beat up on the Athletics. They're just three and a 101 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: half games back, just two back in the lost column 102 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: from the Yankees raised the Little Ways back. But the 103 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 1: Guardians playing great baseball, the Twins playing great baseball, the 104 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: Royals are on the rise, the Rangers are heating up. 105 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of competition in the American 106 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: League right now. Go out West, whoops, go out West, 107 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: and the Mariners and the Astros both playing good baseball. 108 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: But this wildcard race is going to tighten up, folks. 109 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: And if the Yankees don't get it going soon, they're 110 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: gonna find themselves on the outside looking in very very soon. 111 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: They have got to get it gone. I wanted to 112 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: give a quick update here on Augustine Ramirez. Yankees might 113 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: be looking for bats. He's one of the prospects that 114 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: I've been following closely right now. He's got twenty home 115 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: runs in the minor leagues already, and he got off 116 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: to a really bad start at Triple A. He got 117 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: moved up from Double A to Triple A on June nineteenth, 118 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: he went through I went through the box scores. He 119 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: went one for twenty four to begin his triple A stint. 120 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: Since then, he has ten for thirty five, which is 121 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: two A with four home runs. So it appears to 122 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: me like he's getting comfortable against triple A pitching. If 123 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: the Yankees are considering dhing JD. Davis at any point 124 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: against the Orioles, I urge them, as an influencer to reconsider. 125 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: I'd be much more comfortable going with Augustine Ramirez instead. 126 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 1: Inject a little bit more youth, a little bit more life. 127 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: We saw what Ben Rice has done. Sometimes, even if 128 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: if a guy's not a great hitter right, even if 129 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: you don't think he's ready, it can take the league 130 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: a trip around the league to figure him out. So 131 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: maybe you get a hot streak out of him. I 132 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: would love for the Yankees to call him up this weekend. 133 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: If I was sitting in a GM chair, you know, 134 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: if I'm controlling MLB the show and I have the 135 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: exact same scenario as I have right now, I say, 136 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna give one of the kids 137 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: a shot. Call it up this weekend. That's what I 138 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: would do go through the recap here. All right, let's go, 139 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: let's get it going. Nick Carlson says the New York 140 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: Jerkos will be lucky to win one against Baltimore. You're 141 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: not wrong, You're not wrong. Incredibly disappointing first inning tonight, 142 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: at a time when you're trying to build momentum after 143 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: a good win, Yankees wasted two runners right away in 144 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: scoring position. Redugo singled and then Sodo doubled to begin 145 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: the first inning. So four pitches into the game, you 146 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: got bas on the ropes. They had runners on second 147 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: and third with nobody out, and they didn't score. And 148 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: right there is a microcosm of what this season has been. Actually, 149 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 1: the bottom half made it even more of a microcosm. 150 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: The Rays capitalized when the Yankees didn't. Yanny Diaz bang 151 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: went off the catwalk for a double? Why am I 152 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: even saying the words bang going off the catwalk? Actually 153 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: you might have missed the cat I don't know, but 154 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: it's he got a double out of it. The head 155 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: to review it, I don't know. They didn't show a 156 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 1: replay of whether it hit the roof or whatever. But 157 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: still stadium sucks. And then to run home run first 158 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: inning basically told the story of the Yankees last month. 159 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: An absolute joke. Top two Austin Wells got things going 160 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: for the Yankees, at least with his fifth home run 161 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: of the season. Nice piece of hitting. Ride, wrapped it 162 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: around the right field foul bowl. Wells had a multi 163 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: hit game. He's beginning to heat up a little bit. 164 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: He got pinch hit for by Jose Travino late in 165 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: the game. William Flores says, five balls and one strike, 166 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: and the only strike he gets to try and send 167 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: the ball to the moon. Yikes. I'm sure you're talking 168 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: about maybe maybe Judge, I don't know. Bottom two, sorry, yeah, 169 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: bottom two. Nestor pitched around a double. I didn't catch 170 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: a lot of that inning because we had a lizard 171 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: in the house and cats kind of mutilated it and 172 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: I had to clean up the crime scene and dispose 173 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: of the body parts. Unfortunately, my cat Dexter, his dark passenger, 174 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: got to him. Top three Wan Soto tied it up, 175 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: and you're thinking on great opposite field power four hundred 176 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: and twenty five feet twenty second home run of the season. 177 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: Yankees almost had two more home runs in the inning. 178 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Judge hit one of the warning track, and Rice hit 179 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 1: one to the warning track in center bottom three. Tampa 180 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: Bay was all over. Nesta Cortez three runs on the 181 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: board to reclaim the lead at five to two. You 182 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: figured at that point the way the Yankees' offense has been, 183 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: they're not gonna catch up, and they didn't. He was 184 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: just really bad. He was not impressing anybody tonight nester. 185 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: He was just he was throwing batting practice for all 186 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: intents and purposes. Top five Yankees got one back on 187 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: a sackfly from Ben Rice. He continues to have good 188 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: at bats. At least he was one for three a 189 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: couple of ribbies. But you know, the Yankees, they had 190 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: the bases loaded with one out and you feel like 191 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: they should just get more. You know, it's situations like 192 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: that where they just haven't been getting the bases clearing 193 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 1: double anymore like they were early in the season. A 194 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: sackfly is good, not crapping on Ben Rice. He did 195 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: his job. Labor Tor has followed up with a soft 196 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: flyout to right field. You know, I would it kill 197 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: them to rip one in the gap one time or 198 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: down the line with the bases loaded instead of going 199 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: for the Grand Slam. It just feels like this team 200 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: very rarely gets that big game breaking hit unless they're 201 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: already up big in the game. Nestor was done after 202 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: four and a third innings. He left the bases loaded impressed. 203 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Looks not impressive. I hit the wrong button I meant 204 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: to hit. Tough night at the office. Not impressive, not nice, 205 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: awful dog shit. That is user error. That's my big 206 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: fat fingers. What is this. It's on some kind of 207 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: a loop. Not nice at all. We're doing the very nice. 208 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: Not nice at all. It's just my sausage fingers. Tough 209 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: night at the office for nest Cortez. Tonkin came in. 210 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: He got a big double play to get out of 211 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: the jam and keep the Rays from possibly blowing the 212 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: game open. He also struck out the side in the 213 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: sixth inning. He was gonna be my belt winner if 214 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees managed to win this game. Very good night 215 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: for Michael Tonkin. Matt Blake got ejected in the eighth 216 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: after more terrible calls by the umpire. Travigno should have 217 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: walked instead he struck out. No Beast Mode says why 218 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: Boone took wells out for Trevino Wells is hot. It 219 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: was the lefty righty thing, and Trevino does have a 220 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: lot of big hits, including at this ballpark earlier in 221 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: the season. I didn't hate that move. I know Wells 222 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: has been swinging the bat pretty good, but hey, I 223 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: just didn't hate it there. You know, I feel I 224 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: felt like Travigno might be the better option there myself. 225 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: Uh top nine. Oswaldo walked to lead off the inning. 226 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: Soto walked with one out to set things up for Judge. 227 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: Judge popped out four for his last thirty one. Now 228 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: Rice ripped a base hit to make it five to four, 229 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: but thenk Labor Torres blooped one to center field. Ray's 230 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: second base made an awesome play, dropped the ball while 231 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: he was celebrating. Yankees challenged it did not go their way, 232 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: and neither did the game, and they lose again. Good day, 233 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: thre You ain't a lot of a lot of people 234 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: taking taking issue with Trevigno going in for Wells there. 235 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: That was just a manager playing the I'm not defending Boone. 236 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: That's a lot of managers I think would have played 237 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: the percentages there. Wells is not swung the bet well 238 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: against lefties. Uh, and his second hit was kind of 239 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: an awkward like duck snort. So it wasn't like if 240 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: he had roped it. Maybe you know, you say, oh, 241 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: he's hot right now. He did hit the home run, 242 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: But you know, I just felt like Travigno in a 243 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: spot right there, I would have probably done the same thing. 244 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: You want to play the percentage, just try and get 245 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: the base hit, get the run in. But did not 246 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 1: work out in this instance. So look Valin and why 247 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: with a positive note, says the pen was great, especially 248 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: in some tough spots. Absolutely, the pen was good. Michael 249 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: Tonkin was good. Cousins continues to do well. He pitched 250 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: one inning, he got three strikeouts. Let's go ahead and share 251 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: the box. Scorrier close out the other stuff here. So 252 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: we got Verdugo one for five, he's down to two 253 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: forty one with the average, Soto two for three, Judge 254 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: oh for four, Rice one for three with two RBIs, 255 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: Torres one for five, Wells two for three, Trevino the 256 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: pinch hit strikeout, Volpie oh for three. He's down to 257 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: two forty seven, Grisham over four, and Cabrera one for 258 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: three with a couple of runs. Scored. You look at 259 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: the batting averages and you wonder how this team whatever 260 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: score runs two one, two ninety seven, three h four 261 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: from our big guys, then all downhill two fifty four, 262 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: two twenty four, two nineteen, two thirty eight, two forty seven, 263 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: one seventy and two thirty eight. That's not winning baseball, 264 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Uh And aside from Nester Cortez, we 265 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: threw the ball well. Even Ferguson worked a scoreless inning, 266 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: you know him in his five point two eight era. 267 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: So Mark Anthony Gomez says, at least rookie Rice has blood, 268 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: or has rookie Rice has ice in his veins? Ice 269 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: ice baby, I guess Alex says, we want gallo. Oh 270 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: my goodness. Look, it's it's deflating when the offense isn't scoring. 271 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: The offense has been miserable for a while now, that's 272 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: the toughest part about this whole thing. And it seems 273 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: like the last couple of years the offense, which has 274 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: been so good historically for the Yankees for so many years, 275 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: it just hasn't been able to get it going. I 276 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: get that the league in general, offense is down. Pitching 277 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,199 Speaker 1: is great these days. But the Yankees traditionally have not 278 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: been good at hitting breaking balls. They're still not good 279 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: at hitting breaking balls. They hunt fastballs and not many 280 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: pitchers throw them, you know, fastballs anymore. Everybody's getting the 281 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: slider down in a way and they're chasing, you know, 282 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: or maybe they'll get a fastball and they'll take it, 283 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: or they'll foul it off. You know. Judge missed some 284 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: good pitches to hit tonight. Glabor Torres missed some good 285 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: pitches to hit tonight. Torres was one for five. He's 286 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: hitting two twenty four six thirty seven oh ps. So 287 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: he had begun to heat up and now possibly slowing 288 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: back down. I don't know what the answer is, different players, 289 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: different GM, different manager. I mean, they got a lot 290 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: of problems. I was on foul Territory a couple of 291 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: weeks or a couple days ago. Everything is goes. This season, 292 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: everything's scrambled. I think it was last Thursday, maybe last Wednesday, 293 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: something like that, and I talked about the Yankees problems. 294 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: They have a lot of them. And don't think it's 295 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: going to be solved by John Carlo coming back, because 296 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: he's going to strike out you know eighty percent of 297 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: the time for the first three weeks, because that's what 298 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: he always does when he comes back from an injury. 299 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,439 Speaker 1: This team is hurting and they need an influx of 300 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: talent from outside asap. I think you get Augustine Ramirez up. 301 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: I think you make a move. I don't know. Maybe 302 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: it's a third baseman. Maybe it's and Al Filler. Bellinger's 303 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: out now he's got a I think a broken finger, 304 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: so he's not an option. It's tough. Chris Heffernan says 305 00:18:52,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: half this offense needs to be replaced with four exclamation points. 306 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: Demetrious Bacanan nos Bacan nokos bachanokos Uh says Volpie looks bad. 307 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: Simple message, but not wrong. He has looked bad for 308 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: a while. Mike Mustange's has play like you got a pair? 309 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: Are we sure they do have a pair? Last, I 310 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: don't even try that. Last Lacon costs. I don't know, 311 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I can't even pronounce these names. Would 312 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: you guys start naming yourselves like Joe and Adam and 313 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: Sarah and you know, make it easier for me to 314 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: see on this screen. He says, Rays started four players 315 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: with a sub two oh six batting average and still 316 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: outscored the Yankees. Wow, really it's tough. Ricardo Flores sounds 317 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: like Derek is going soft on us tonight. How am 318 00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: I going soft? I'm just I'm deflated, you know, I'm 319 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: what do you want me to swear and rant every night? 320 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: I don't have that kind of energy tonight. I'm disappointed. 321 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: This is a heartbreaking loss. I'm more deflated than anything, 322 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: and I'm not trying to Like, I don't want to 323 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: bash people constantly. I call people out, like, you know, 324 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Judge not hitting. Judge is not hitting, He's not hitting 325 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: in the clutch. Volpi's not hitting right now? The manager sucks, 326 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: Nester cort Tees sucks, Carlos Rodin should be traded? What 327 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 1: else do you want me to say? How hard do 328 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: I have to get? Do I have to literally go 329 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: kick labor Torres in the nuts? Like? What do you 330 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: want me to do? I don't get how I can 331 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: be any Like? What is soft? Do I have to 332 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: literally write a fuck you letter to every member of 333 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: the team. I'm calling it as I see it. Jim 334 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,640 Speaker 1: Sherlock says, what do you think the record is gonna 335 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: be for twenty twenty four. It's hard to say right now. 336 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't look very good right now, the way they've 337 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,679 Speaker 1: played over the last few weeks. If they continue that, 338 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: they're gonna be under five hundred. I'm hoping they can 339 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: win ninety plus games, but it's gonna take ninety plus 340 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: to win the wild card. I think right now, eighty 341 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: five seems realistic. Eighty five wins. F Siminski says he 342 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: needs a damn break me too, Man Me too, All 343 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: Star break coming up. Alex says, please kick Labor in 344 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: the nuts. Yeah, we're not gonna do that, but anyway, 345 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how we can jump 346 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: start this offense. Kicking someone in the nuts probably won't 347 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: do it. But you know, I think we just need 348 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: a big comeback win maybe or something. You know, we 349 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: need a big three run home run from Labor Torres, 350 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: or we need another rookie to come up and inject 351 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: some life and get it going. Right now, it's not 352 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: looking good. Reminder to sign up like subscribe all that 353 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: good stuff.

Want to grow the channel. Tonight, 358 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry if it wasn't my best night. I'm deflated. 359 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: I'm deflated by the loss, and I'm sure a lot 360 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: of you are too. And I feel like a lot 361 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: of people say that I'm a voice. I know I'm 362 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: not the only voice. I'm one of many, one of 363 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: many great voices that we have here as podcasters for 364 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: the Yankees. I I'm sure a lot of them and 365 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: a lot of you feel the same way I do, 366 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: which is that it's exasperating. It's exasperating to watch this team. 367 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: It's exhausting. D this channel says, Damn Derek is a savage. 368 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: He wants to kick Tours in the ball sack when 369 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: he has a groin issue. I'm not saying I want to. 370 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: I'm saying, is that what's necessary to say? I'm not soft? 371 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: This guy said I'm being soft tonight. I mean I 372 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: criticized half the damn team. Every night. I criticize half 373 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: the damn team. Can't please everybody. Beast Mode says, by 374 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 1: the way, next series will be a sweep against the O's. 375 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: You're saying that we're gonna sweep or we're gonna get swept. 376 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: Because I think we're gonna get swept. Quite frankly, I 377 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: think we're gonna just backpedal into the break and then 378 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to sit on it and soak in 379 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: our misery for a week. That's what I'm expecting anyway. Uh, 380 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: Dante wants to bring up Spencer and Ramirez even if 381 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: you have those bench players. I don't think they want 382 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: to bench those guys. I think you want to get 383 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,199 Speaker 1: those guys at bats. But be interesting to see if 384 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees make some moves. I wouldn't be opposed to 385 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: trading Verdugo at this point and bringing up Spencer Jones 386 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: if they think he's ready. Augustine Ramirez is a DH 387 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 1: sounds nice. I don't know. Let's wrap it up. We've 388 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: gone a little longer than usual. Look, ultimately, this is 389 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: up to the manager. You know. One of the jobs 390 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: of the manager is to find a way to get 391 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: your team out of a funk when they're playing bad. 392 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: I don't know what the option is, like, I don't 393 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: know what they have behind the scenes that they can 394 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: go with, but you got to inject something else into 395 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: this roster because right now it's not getting it done. 396 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone needs to take this thing by the reins 397 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: and get it back on track. And we need the 398 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: other Aaron, Aaron Judge to get a couple of big 399 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: hits against Baltimore. He needs to go off. We can't 400 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: afford a slump right now. I'm gonna try and do 401 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: a live voicemail show tomorrow at ten am, So call 402 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: in with your voicemails and we'll play the best ones 403 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it.
