1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,360 Speaker 1: Ladies and juggle the. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 2: Welcome here. 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 3: That game sat all right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Monday, 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 3: September two, Today is Labor Day. Hopefully you have the 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 3: day off and you're watching this over some coffee, maybe 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 3: some eggs, and a nice relaxing morning. The Yankees are 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 3: in Texas tonight to take on the world champion Texas Rangers, 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 3: who are sixty five and seventy two. And I know 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: that doesn't sound great, but it sounds like exactly the 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 3: right formula to beat the Yankees because the Yanks have 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 3: been playing down to their competition. And we're at a 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 3: point in the season now Labor Day, where every GM, 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: every fan base looks at their team with less than 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: a month ago, now twenty five games to play, and 15 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 3: you say, realistically, what are our chances? And I think 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 3: the Yankees have a pretty good chance now to win 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: the East. They're a half game up, but they've got 18 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: to start playing better against teams that they should beat. 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: You can't be losing to the White Sox by ten runs. 20 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: Can't be losing games to the Rockies at home. You 21 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: can't be dropping back to back series to the Nationals 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: and the Cardinals, which is exactly what happened. So the 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: Yankees need to take a good, hard look introspectively and say, 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: how can we be better? How can we get some 25 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: more life into this team? And I think we all 26 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 3: know the answer to that, got to bring up the Martian. 27 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: But we are going to get some more reinforcements. You know, 28 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 3: Hamilton could be coming back soon. Rizzo coming back looked good, 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: but you know, I still think we need a little 30 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: bit more. And tonight the Yankees, while they're taking on 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: the Rangers, they're gonna need to win. You know, they've 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: got their ace on the hill. But the Orioles are 33 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 3: playing the White Sox. And if you think, if you 34 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 3: think Corbyn Burns is going to lay an egg against 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: the White Sox, one of the worst teams ever, I 36 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: got a bridge to sell you. I think that to 37 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 3: night feels like a must win if you want to 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: stay in first place. Otherwise, the Orioles gonna jump back 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: out in front. And once a team jumps out in 40 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 3: front this late in the season, that can be kind 41 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 3: of like an emotional boost for them. They could go 42 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: on a run and leave the Yankees in the dust. 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: So tonight I view kind of as a must win 44 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: just to maintain this half game lead. Garrett Cole has 45 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 3: been a little bit up and down. I want to 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: see him put together a classic Garrett Cole start. I'm 47 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 3: looking for six six and two thirds, one run, one walk, 48 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: eight strikeouts. That's what I'm looking for tonight from Garrett Cole. 49 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 3: And to be honest, the Rangers offense has not been good. 50 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 3: They're averaging like two point seven runs a game for 51 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: the last quarter of a season or whatever. So this 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: should be a game that Garrett Cole can, you know, 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 3: kind of boost his numbers a little bit. We're gonna 54 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: have a pregame show kind of it's not really a 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: pregame show. We're gonna do Max Goodman's monthly stop in 56 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: State of the Yankees tonight six pm, So tune in 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 3: for that. He's going to talk about the Martian. We're 58 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: going to talk about the state of this team as 59 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 3: we approach the final twenty five games of the twenty 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: twenty four schedule and prepare for the playoffs. So we'll 61 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: talk about all of that. But first, let's get to 62 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 3: your voicemails so that I can get back to my 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: labor day activities. I'm going to see Alien Romulus again 64 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: the second time. My wife and I were going to 65 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 3: go to the lake today, but it's pouring rain, so 66 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 3: just decided to go to the movies. Also launching a 67 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: football show this week. I'm not going to be the 68 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: expert on this football show, but we're going to have 69 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: my buddy Justin, who is a big time football fan, 70 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: and Frankie Baseball will be Frankie Football for this. He's 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 3: going to be joining us too. It's called The New 72 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 3: York Football Show. I'll be sending out links and all 73 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 3: that stuff over the next couple of days, but we're 74 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 3: going to debut that on Thursday. We're going to preview 75 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 3: this weekend's action, so tune in for that. Let's get 76 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,839 Speaker 3: too or voicemails. 77 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: I know you say. 78 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: I cannot believed the ball to do it, Derek Crobert here, jesus, 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: you're so right about the mingez. 80 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: What the hell are they thinking? It's like, do you 81 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: know how many freaking players the Yankees have just let 82 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: waste away in the freaking minor leagues over the years. 83 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: I can't even count them. It's like I'm believing Judge 84 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: didn't show up and believe he was twenty five freaking 85 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: years old. How the hell did they miss him? I mean, unbelievable. 86 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: We have the oldest rookies in the history of baseball 87 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: all the time. It's just a joke. They've always wanted 88 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: to go with the mature, freaking established players. I mean, 89 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 2: it's such bullshit. Anyway, what a prosthetic series. It boggles 90 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: mind how he lose three Nationals and Cardinals back to back. 91 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: Appreciate the call I started with this voicemail because it's 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: basically what I woke up thinking about as well. The 93 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: Yankees always mishandle their young players. You know, it's interesting 94 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: that they brought Volpi up and let him struggle all year, 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: because they don't really do that with anyone else. Now, 96 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: Domingez did so well last fall that if he didn't 97 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: tear his UCL and then you know, have to miss 98 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: the season or the first portion of the season, I 99 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: think he would have been the Yankees' opening day leftfielder. 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: I don't think they would have gone out and traded 101 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 3: for Alex Verdugo, but they had a spot open. Now. 102 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 3: Verdugo is a veteran, and to a certain degree, you 103 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 3: defer to the veteran, especially in a con tracked year, 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: but he hasn't gotten it done. He's only hitting two 105 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 3: thirty or whatever, and Dimingez is crushing the minor league. 106 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: So I think I agree with you, and I agree 107 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: with most Yankees fans that the Yankees are not running 108 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: their best possible roster out there. At some point you 109 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 3: have to say, screw your feelings, let's go with the 110 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: best player. I know it's not gonna make for du 111 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 3: Goo happy. I know that he's gonna get a little 112 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 3: grumpy if you start a rookie over him. Well, too bad. 113 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 3: Play better if you don't want that to happen. Now, 114 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 3: yesterday he did have a couple of hits, so you know, 115 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: maybe not being allergic to his batting gloves anymore is 116 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 3: you know, gonna get him going a little bit in 117 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: the right direction. But even so, Dimingez is still a 118 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: better player. He's got more power, He's a switch hitter. 119 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: Verdugo probably a better left fielder at this point, although 120 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: yesterday he didn't look at he's got a good arm. 121 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 3: It's accurate. He's got twenty outfield assists over the last 122 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: few years, you know, tied for the most in Major 123 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 3: League Baseball. But I'd still rather see the kid out there. 124 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 3: I think he would inject some life into the team. 125 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: I think he would inject some life into the stadium. 126 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: But now that you're going to Texas and Dominge is 127 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: still in the minor leagues, we're not going to see 128 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: Demingez for the next several days at least. So the 129 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: manipulation of his contract and service time continues. And it's 130 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: frustrating as fans because you know, we're obviously watching for entertainment. 131 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: We want to see the best players on the field, 132 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: and right now the Yankees are not going in that direction. 133 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 4: It really bothers me that Juan Soto can't play right field. 134 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: I can't see paying him. You know, you just have 135 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: so much room for the DHS. He got Stanton As 136 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: at DH. Eventually Judge will be at DH. And this 137 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: guy's really got to play defense, and you've got to 138 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: know where the wall is. Can't be afraid of it. 139 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 4: You know, he wants to make a big bucks It's 140 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 4: it's ridiculous. 141 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: I disagree that Juan Soto can't play right field. If 142 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 3: you look at the numbers, he is in the sixty 143 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 3: second percentile in fielding, run value and if you skip 144 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: down to the bottom of his stat cast numbers, you 145 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: see that most of that comes from his arm. Like 146 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: he's been really good at making those throws from right field. 147 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: He's very accurate. His arm strength is about league average, 148 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: but his arm value is way above average, which tells 149 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: you that the accuracy is there. Also, you know when 150 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: he's thrown into second base a lot of times, it's 151 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 3: Anthony Volpi who's on the back end of those throws, 152 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 3: and he's excellent at making tags. So those two combined, 153 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 3: I think gives a lot of the value to Juan Soto. 154 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 3: But if you look at his range, you're dead on 155 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: correct there. He's in the twenty second percentile and out's 156 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: above average negative three, so he's deaf, only had some 157 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 3: issues with tracking balls down. It's not a big outfield, 158 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: and you can see now why they didn't want him 159 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: to play left field like he did in San Diego, 160 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: because he just doesn't have the range out there. But 161 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: what you're paying for with Juan Soto is the one 162 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: thousand ops. He's got one point zero zero four ops 163 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: even after a bad week, essentially six hundred and ten 164 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: played appearances this year, he's got a career best thirty 165 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: seven home runs and a four to eighteen on base 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: percentage one hundred and forty four hits. That's what you're 167 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: paying for, and I think the Yankees are definitely going 168 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: to make him an offer, but I can't see him 169 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: getting the seven hundred and fifty million that some people 170 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: are saying. I think five hundred million is more than enough. 171 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 3: And like you said, there will be conversations about his 172 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 3: defense and base running in those contract negotiations. His defense overall, 173 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: like we said, above average, but the range not good, 174 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: and the base running values in the twelfth percentile. He's 175 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: just not very fast in the thirty fifth percent sentaile 176 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: of the league. So be interesting to see how all 177 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: this shakes out. But you're paying for an elite offensive 178 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 3: talent is what you'd be paying for. But you know, 179 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: Otani in part got his seven hundred million because he's 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: such a complete player. I mean, the guy's about to 181 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 3: go fifty to fifty fifty home runs and fifty stolen 182 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: bases and then next year he really he could win 183 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: the Cy Young He's that good of a pitcher. That's 184 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 3: why I don't think Sodo's gonna get seven hundred million. 185 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 3: He doesn't bring the endorsements from you know, Japan and 186 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 3: so forth, but I can see five hundred million because 187 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: of his offense and because he's going to be a 188 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame hitter. 189 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, I just don't believe what I'm seeing right now. 190 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: Two balls over Soto's head and two and two of 191 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: them were on the last strike. How do we miss the. 192 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: Chance to keep it tied. 193 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: It's four times that we're at one strike away from 194 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 2: end in the inning and then somehow we can't get 195 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: out of it. 196 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 3: We just talked about the Sodo thing, so I'll skip 197 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: on that for now. But you know, that's baseball. You know, 198 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 3: things can change really quickly, and rallies can come from 199 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: almost out of nowhere, and they can happen fast. We've 200 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: seen that. Yankees, though, don't do that very often, but 201 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: we did see them. When they have one of those rallies, 202 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: it can be absurd, like they had against the Brewers 203 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 3: earlier this year. So you know, that's just baseball. Quick 204 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: word from anytime, fitness and then back with a few 205 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 3: more voicemails.

They coddle these veterans who 225 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 5: can't hit a parked car. Then they don't make approvement 226 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 5: to the open when you know there were some kind 227 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 5: of substantial arms at the deadline. I'm just tired day 228 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 5: after day and year after year just seeing the same 229 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 5: thing without a different result. 230 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 2: It's hard to be, you know, vigilant. 231 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 5: You know, to the fan base of a team that 232 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 5: they constantly just fail their fan base. And I try 233 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 5: to be realistic. I know it's not possible to win 234 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 5: every game or win the World Series every year, but 235 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 5: when they do the absolutely bare minimum to fix their 236 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,559 Speaker 5: glaring issues, it's like they don't want a drifting and 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: they just choose to ignore it. 238 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: I hear you about the struggle, but I try to 239 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: maintain perspective that we're still leading in the American League East. 240 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 3: I posted a meme yesterday me before and after the 241 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four Yankees season and Zach. For those who 242 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: are listening, it's a picture of Abraham Lincoln before and 243 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: after the Civil War, just to kind of illustrate how 244 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 3: stressful it is this year as a Yankees fan. But 245 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: even so, still a half game up with twenty five 246 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 3: to play, so hopefully they can turn it around. It's 247 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: not too late now This next statement that I make 248 00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 3: is mathematically possible, but very unlikely. You want to build 249 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 3: this lead to four games by the time the Orioles 250 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 3: come to town, because even if the Orioles sweep you, 251 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 3: you'd still be in first place with a little bit 252 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 3: of the season left. So I don't know if it's 253 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: realistic at this point, but it's kind of what I'm 254 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 3: hoping for. Best case scenario. 255 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 6: This is Ray Kunkleen. This loss was a gut punch. 256 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 6: I mean, our team, we put together some of a 257 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 6: Betts came back just to give up seven runs and lose. 258 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 6: And at this point, the race, the race the first 259 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: place is going to come down to who wants it 260 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 6: the most, and we need to start getting hot as 261 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 6: a team. Taking in offense has to have to both 262 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 6: be on points, have to both be on point for 263 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,239 Speaker 6: the rest of the season. So going into the playoffs, 264 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 6: if we really. 265 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: Want to win, yeah, the bullpen needs to get its 266 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: act together. The offense needs to start hitting with runners 267 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: and scoring position. We're at a point in the season 268 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: where the time for screwing around is over. This is 269 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: a sprint. It is no longer a marathon. You got 270 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: to sprint out the rest of this month, and then 271 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 3: as much as you can in October. Run on fumes 272 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: if you have to. But the Yankees have a chance, 273 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: they have a chance to win the World Series. But 274 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: where is the urgency? Where is the urgency to get 275 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: it done? Thanks for watching, everybody. I hope you have 276 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: a happy Labor Day. Tune in at six pm for 277 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: a conversation with Max Goodman. I'll tell you what nostree Derek. 278 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, we hit four hundred with 279 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 3: the predictions. This year, we've got a batting average somewhere 280 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 3: in the Aaron Hicks, Josh Donaldson, you know, Steven Drew territory, 281 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: Joey Gallo territory prediction for tonight seven plus strikeouts for 282 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 3: Garrett Cole.
