1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? Thanks for calling in. At least 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,760 Speaker 1: a few of you still had enough fingers left to 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: dial the phone. 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, my name is Mike from New York. I wonder 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: if the Yankees realized that how much money it costs 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 2: for a family afford to go see a game. I'm 7 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: a little bit tired of hearing the same thing they 8 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: all played us. We have to do better, We need 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: to grind it out more. Same thing. In final thought, 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 2: the Red Sox are only four back on the lost column. 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: Third place could be on the way soon. 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: You're not wrong. If the Yankees play like they did 13 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: the last few series against the Red Sox, they're going 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: to be in third place before the All Star break. Possibly. 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: And don't forget they got the Rays coming up, who 16 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: always play them tough, and then they got the Orioles. 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: Look at it this way, though, if the Yankees have 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: another epic collapse, there's no way they can bring Aaron 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: Boone back. There's no way that they can bring Brian 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: cash and back. So that is the silver lining. If 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: this team has yet another epic collapse, the second in 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: three years, and at this point you have to wonder 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: if Juan Soto is looking at this organization and he's 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: looking at the lack of talent around him other than 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, and he's saying, why the hell would I 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: want to be here next year. It's just pathetic the 27 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: way this team has pitched. There's just too many cry 28 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: babies on this team that seemed to be feeling sorry 29 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: for themselves rather than manning up and trying to win 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: a ball game. The body language is horrible. It's been 31 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,559 Speaker 1: tough to watch, man, it really has. 32 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: Good morning, Derek. This is Hugh from Bay Ridge. I 33 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: think it's time the Yankees dfa Grisham. I mean, that's 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: very insulting what he did yesterday. The guy lopes and 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: mopes around center field. He can't hit, He's another one 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: forty bat in the lineup. As for his feeling, he 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: couldn't even go back and make a play at the ball. 38 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: On the ball at center field Friday night, Judge was 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: jumped a little, them pigged. So I don't see any 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: great play offensively or with defensive league and I think 41 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: they should get rid of him. Just one of many problems. 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Of course, the problem with Dafangham is you don't really 43 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: have anybody to go to who can play the position 44 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: as well as he can in center field. Now get 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: lazy play ticked me off to. A lot of guys 46 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: are looking kind of lethargic, kind of lacks a days 47 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: ago lollygagging, as they say in Bull Durham. And bottom 48 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: line is that comes down to the leadership within the organization. 49 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone is not lighting a fire under these guys' asses. 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: And I've never been one of these guys who wants 51 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: to fire Aaron Boone all the time. It's usually you know, 52 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: two or three games throughout the season where I'm like, 53 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: all right, enough of Aaron Boone. But lately we're just 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: not getting the response from this team that you need. 55 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: And this is the third time in three years that 56 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: this team has failed to respond under his leadership. I 57 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: think you got to take a real look at the 58 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: manager at some point. I don't think they'll do it 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 1: during the season, but if the Yankees continue this epic collapse, 60 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: if they finish in third or fourth place, they finish 61 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: under five hundred, they just continue to collapse like they 62 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: are right now. I don't know how you can bring 63 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: him back. I really don't. I think he's gonna get 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: fired and why. 65 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: Why recaps what's going on? Just wanting to say, I 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 4: really think Boonie should start thinking about starting Austin Wells 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 4: and Moore. The dude shows he has just so much 68 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 4: more plate discipline than Trevino. I think he's actually a 69 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: better hitter. He just hasn't got into a rhythm yet. 70 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: It's just a rookie season still, but he has more 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 4: walks this year than Trevino has since twenty thirteen. I 72 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: think that's pretty taling. Trevino's arm is washed. He can 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 4: maybe steal you a few strikes, but especially against the 74 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: team with somebody like La Da La Cruz and a 75 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: lot of these teams that have fast guys, I think 76 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 4: Austin Wells is just a more advanced player all around. 77 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: At the moment, I'm. 78 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: In total agreement. I think I've seen enough from Austin 79 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: Wells that his development as a player is beginning to 80 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: take off. 81 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 5: Now. 82 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: For much of this season he just couldn't hit. But 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: he's finally finally looking more comfortable up there. He's fine 84 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: behind the dish and Jose Travigno, we know what he is. 85 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: He's a good framer that's going to be negated in 86 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: a couple of years when MLB goes to the challenge 87 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: system and he can't throw anybody out. We've got the 88 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: Red Sox coming up. I'm all on board with giving 89 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: Austin Wells the bulk of the playing time. I agree 90 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: one hundred percent with that. 91 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 6: Call, Derek Sports Rabbi Josh Allison calling from the Holy 92 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 6: Land of Israel. Listen man. The New York Yankees are 93 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 6: five and thirteen since the last time the Boston Red 94 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 6: Sox played with them back in Senway Park. The Red 95 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 6: Sox are twelve and five since that series. Think best 96 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 6: ask for a minute, folks. The Yankees are going one direction, 97 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 6: thoughts are going to the other, and now they have 98 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 6: to face each other once again back the Yankee Stadium 99 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 6: in a pretty big series if there ever was one. 100 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 6: For the New York Yankees after really looking absolutely awful, 101 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 6: is there any chance that the Yankees can turn it 102 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 6: around against the Red Sox, who are streaking right now. 103 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 6: Can they pull out some magic Yankee Stadium? That's gonna 104 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 6: be my big question going in to this series. 105 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, I think the answer is no. I think this 106 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: Yankees team is spiraling. I don't think they're getting the 107 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: proper leadership. I don't think that they are playing hard 108 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: enough right now to turn it around. You know, the 109 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: big hit from Volpi the other night, the big double 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: a month ago, that would have propelled them on a 111 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: winning streak. They would have gotten the energy going and 112 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: everybody would have started contributing. But you know, after Judge 113 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: banged into that double play, basically the team kind of 114 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: gave up. And yesterday was another week performance And I'm 115 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: not counting on anything more until they show me something different. 116 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Right now, they're starting to reveal who they really are 117 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: as a team, and that's a team with very little heart. 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 7: Hey, Derek Hick from South Carolina just got done watching 119 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 7: yesterday's game, and you know, this is a this is 120 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 7: a situation where you know, Cashman going out and getting 121 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 7: one or two guys. I don't think he's really going 122 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 7: to make a difference at this point. This is a 123 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 7: collapse of a whole team. You know, you can't you know, 124 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 7: our pitching staff is just not performing. Strowman gave up 125 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 7: five runs the sky Hill that I never saw, gave 126 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 7: up two, and then Cousins, you know, he he came 127 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 7: in and gave up you know, pitching in and gave 128 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 7: up a run, and you know it just gets it 129 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 7: just gets worse and worse. Hitting. You know, it was 130 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 7: just the hitting was terrible. Judge was over, Tours was 131 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 7: over for Vocal, he was over for uh. I think 132 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 7: Cabrera as well, and le May hw and you know 133 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 7: it's just you can't this is a collapse of a 134 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 7: whole team. Any one piece here or there isn't going 135 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 7: to This isn't going to really do anything. You need 136 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 7: to get this team. They need to have a team 137 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 7: meeting and get some harp because what I see right 138 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 7: now is this team has no heart. 139 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 6: Wow. 140 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, I listened to these voicemails as I'm responding 141 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: to them, and I just got done saying that the 142 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: Yankees aren't showing me enough heart. And here you go 143 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: echoing the same exact sentiment. I mean, it's obvious to us. 144 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: Why is it not obvious to Boone and Cashman and 145 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: so forth that this team just does not have the 146 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: makeup right now that you need to be a division 147 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: winner in a very tough Al East, or perhaps a 148 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: champion right now? They are how many instances this year 149 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: have we seen them? Guys? Not hustling. You know, las 150 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: of day's ago plays, whether it was Labor Torres Alex Verdugo, 151 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: Grisham yesterday. To me, that comes down to leadership. That 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: comes down to there being very little accountability for not hustling. Look, 153 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: you can slump as a team, you can get bad pitching, 154 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: but hustle should never take a break. I don't care 155 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: how hot it is, Hustle should never take a break. 156 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, Derrek, it's chained. I couldn't agree more on 157 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 5: the Rodawn. When he was first signed, I was hoping 158 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 5: maybe he would be something. But he's not Yankee quality. 159 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 5: The stuff that he's pulled so far, why I would 160 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 5: go over probably really good in San Francisco or even Seattle, 161 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: you know. But yeah, with Boons smarter than thou managing, 162 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 5: don't believe your eyes. Believe that averages don't matter, eras 163 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 5: don't matter. Only launch angles and this angle and the 164 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 5: angle of the angle of the meat. All that said, 165 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 5: the basic ABC's of baseball will always remain. Boone has 166 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 5: the pitching in shambles. It's in shambles. Now. Look, I 167 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 5: understand there was a luxury when we had Mariano Rivera, 168 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 5: but our starters have to go seven innings. You can't 169 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: leave more than nine OUs for a bullpen and be successful. 170 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 5: That's just baseball. It's just baseball. 171 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, change the bullpen is completely overworked. We're seeing guys 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: dropping leg flies. We're seeing Cashman go dumpster diving to 173 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: bring in guys who have no business being on the Yankees. 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: Last year it was position players Calhoun, Jake Bowers. This 175 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: year it's you know, Victor Gonzalez and Caleb turd Ferguson 176 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: And as far as Rodn goes, yeah, he's one of 177 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: those guys that just does not have the mental ma 178 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: up for New York. He can't control his emotions enough. 179 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: I would absolutely try to trade Carlos Rodin if I 180 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: were Brian Cashman. I know you need the innings, I 181 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: know you need the lefty, but you know he is 182 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: not cut out for New York. He's got a no 183 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: trade clause, I hear you. But those can be way 184 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: if things can be done to mitigate that, and I 185 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: think he would accept a trade to somewhere that the 186 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: attention and the scrutiny is, you know, a little bit less. 187 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, I will see you after 188 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: the game tonight. Hopefully Yankees get back in the win column, 189 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't count on it. I'll see you next time.
