1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Just wanted to talk at all. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: I've gone full major League two. If you're listening to 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: the podcast, you're not watching. I've got the tape over 4 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: the Yankees logo. We've gone full Randy Quaid in Major 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: League two. Guys, this is pathetic. Pathetic. Nice debut for 6 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: Paul Blackburn, by the way, seven earned runs in his debut. 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: You go dumpster diving, you end up with trash. At 8 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 2: some point, this organization needs to look in the mirror 9 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: and realize they don't have the personnel leading the charge 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: to put the team in place that can get the 11 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: job done. At some point, you have to ask yourselves, 12 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: why are the fans booing the Yankees on a Saturday 13 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: afternoon at Yankee Stadium in a game where they're playing. 14 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: There are rivals the Boston Red Sox that should never happen. Ever, 15 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: I just can't fathom how the executive leadership of this 16 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: team watched the Yankees win four championships in five years 17 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: based on fundamental play, based on a team first mentality, 18 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: small ball, doing the little things right, taking advantage of mistakes, 19 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: and not making mistakes yourself. We watched a dynasty built 20 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: around those fundamental concepts and you know what they decided 21 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 2: to do, throw all of that out the window and 22 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: switch to a home run or nothing mentality for now 23 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: two decades, two decades, let's ran they have completely thrown 24 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: away any concept of a team first, cohesive unit mentality 25 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. In the major leagues, they're not 26 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: teaching it. They're not teaching fundamentals. The Yankees took seven 27 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: of eight from the Cardinals, the Rays, and the Twins. Great, fantastic, 28 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: But let's be honest, shall we. Those are not heavyweights. 29 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: Those are tune up fights, and this team they're great 30 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: at tune ups. The problem is when real contenders step 31 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: in the ring, the Yankees end up on the canvas 32 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 2: every fucking time. So I asked, the question, is this who? 33 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: The Yankees are content to be a team that pounds 34 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: tomato cans but can't hang with the big boys. For years, 35 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: we have pointed out the same thing over and over 36 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: and over and over at nauseum until I could vomit. 37 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 2: A coat hanger. Fundamentals, team baseball, run the base as 38 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 2: well catch the damn baseball. The things good organizations are 39 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: built around the things that the Astros do well. The 40 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: Dodgers ubsess over this stuff, and the Yankees they have 41 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 2: doubled down on one trick home runs, home runs. If 42 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 2: the ball leaves the yard, they typically win. If it doesn't, 43 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: they look like they've never seen a baseball game and 44 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: are unfamiliar with the sport. Think about it. You get 45 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: guys on base and immediately it turns into a blooper reel, 46 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 2: bad reads, guys running into out station the station baseball 47 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: in a league that values athleticism, the Yankees have nothing 48 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: but dhs. Rice is a DH. John Carlos at DH. 49 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: Judge is of DH right now. Dominguez is a DH 50 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: right now. I mean, come on, where are the baseball 51 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: players outfield is thrown to the wrong base. You got 52 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: the top prospects okay, Wells number one pick hitting two 53 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: oh nine, Volpi number one pick hitting two oh eight, Dominguez, 54 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: top international draft pick, not even playing in the biggest 55 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: series of the year. Right now, guys, It's not bad luck, 56 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 2: it's bad management, and nobody pays the price for it. 57 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: Nobody and the manager doesn't hold any of the players 58 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: accountable for doing anything wrong, not a single person. Aaron 59 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: Boone is the definition of a participation trophy manager everybody's 60 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 2: doing great, nobody's to blame. We'll turn the page. It's 61 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: all right there in front of us, us and above him. 62 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 2: We've got a ghost owner right now, a ghost owner. 63 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: Where the hell is house Dimebrenner. I don't need him 64 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: to be his dad. I don't need the daily rants. 65 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 2: I don't need the back page wars with players. I 66 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: don't need him stirring up shit. But can the man 67 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: look like he cares? We never see him in the 68 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: owner's box. We never see shots of him at the ballpark. 69 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: He speaks maybe once or twice during the course of 70 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 2: the year on his team, and it's always at the 71 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: owner's meetings that he's not allowed to skip, or spring 72 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: training when he happens to swing by. And it's about business, TV, money, 73 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: revenue streams, all that shit, facial hair polity policy. How 74 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: about actual baseball? How about actual pride in what the 75 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: pinstripes used to mean? The Yankees formula now is beat 76 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: up on enough bad teams and bad bullpens to rack 77 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: up ninety wins, sneak into the playoffs and cross your fingers. 78 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: That's their whole fundamental mission statement right now. That's the 79 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: model that's not greatness, that's buying a lottery ticket. That 80 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: is laziness. And here's the truth that hurts. The Yankees 81 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: are a shell of what they used to be, the 82 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: team that I grew up watching and iidholizing. They're not 83 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: that team anymore. They're not about baseball. They're about chasing 84 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: trends and chasing this analytic and that analytic, and cashing 85 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 2: checks and hoping one year they get lucky. And it's bullshit. 86 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: They're not chasing championship baseball anymore. They're chasing playoff appearances. 87 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: And it's not good enough. No one is afraid of 88 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: the Yankees anymore. No one respects the Yankees game anymore. 89 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: The only thing the Yankees are good at is hitting 90 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: home runs against below average pitchers. If that was a 91 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: winning formula, the Yankees would have a lot more than 92 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: twenty seven championships because they've been doing this since two 93 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 2: thousand and five. I have personally had it. Heads have 94 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: to roll, and I'm gonna wear this hat every day 95 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 2: until they do. Let's get to the recap. There's not 96 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: much to really recap. I mean, you see the score, 97 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: dog shit. We got a couple of super chats here. 98 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: Rich says Yankees offense is basically Joey Gawo. You're not wrong. 99 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: Paris Scrubb says I was going to hit up one 100 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: of the Toronto games in September. The series is a 101 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: new low, atrocious, abysmal, unacceptable. They don't deserve our money. 102 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: Dee's Channel says, bring back the squirrel, for the love 103 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: of my sanity. Last I heard the squirrel was hanging 104 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 2: from the fence. Somebody said that he ran into the 105 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: fence and tried to he got like stuck and he 106 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: was hanging upside down. I think the squirrel might be dead. Guys, 107 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I think the squirrel might be dead. And 108 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: then Rich also says blackbird makes me want the shave 109 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: rule back. Yeah, I mean, just an abysmal, very tough 110 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: day to watch the Yankees. You know, both teams were 111 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: quiet early. It looked like the Yankees had a chance. 112 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees actually execut you did early. Austin 113 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: Wells nailed Rafaela trying to go to second base on 114 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: a delayed steal. You know you fucked up bad when 115 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: Austin Wells throws you out. But you know after that, 116 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: the Yankees fell apart. I mean Red Sox jumped out 117 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: to a four to nothing lead. You had Carlos Norvaas 118 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: go first to third on a base hit, which surprised 119 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: me because I know he came up in the Yankee system, 120 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: so I'm not sure he knew you were allowed to 121 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: do that, but good for him. From there on out. 122 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: I mean, you had a home run from Stanton, But 123 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: other than that, the Yankees did nothing. As I mentioned 124 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: Paul Blackburn three and a third innings, eight, eight hits, 125 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: seven runs. Will Warren gave up five runs. I'll talk 126 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: about him in a second. Tim Hill threw the ball. Okay, 127 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: I guess, but Yankees had seven hits, but of course 128 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: only one run and it was on a solo home run. 129 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: Same shit, different toilet. Yankees lose third straight. Let's talk 130 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: about Will Warren. He had a tough day first couple 131 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: of first couple of innings. Things look pretty easy for him. 132 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: He had the strikeout pitch going, but ultimately he didn't 133 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: fool the Red Sox for long. Third inning, loaded the 134 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: bases where the walk hung a curveball, to Trevor's story, 135 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: ripped it into the corner and then the you know, 136 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: the race was on for the for the Red Sox. 137 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: More trouble in the fourth inning, loaded the bases again, 138 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: Red Sox got a couple of sacrifice flies. Amazing how 139 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: other teams can score runs without home runs? Who knew? 140 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: Who knew? 141 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: You were allowed to do that. Warren was done after 142 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: serving up a leadoff dinger in the fifth inning. The 143 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: story four inning, seven hits, five runs, three walks, three strikeouts, 144 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: ERA up to four point four to seven. Tough day 145 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: bore him stop who and Anthony Volpi had another tough day. 146 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: I wanted to point out this stat that was brought 147 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 2: up by our guy Max Goodman, who I got to 148 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 2: have back on the show. It's been a while. He 149 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 2: was with us all the time last year, but I've 150 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: been so busy this year. I just you know, I 151 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: can't customize my schedule as much as I'd like to. 152 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: But Goodman posted this. There are eighty eight players with 153 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: fifteen hundred plate appearances since the beginning of the twenty 154 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: twenty three season, so that's now basically the beginning of 155 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: Volpi's career. Anthony Volpi rakes ranks eighty eighth. That's dead 156 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 2: last in batting average to twenty two dead last and 157 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 2: on base percentage to eighty five and second to last 158 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: in WRC plus that's weighted runs created plus and eighty seventh. 159 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: That's second to last in OPS at six sixty six. 160 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: Just awful. You can't win like that. And at some 161 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: point you have to call a duck a duck, right, 162 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: I mean, if it looks like a duck, it walks 163 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: like a duck, it's a duck. And in this case, 164 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: it's a bad shortstop. Volpi is just not a major 165 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: league caliber player. I tried to preach patients with him. 166 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: I thought this would be the year finally catching up 167 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 2: to his potent, but it just has not happened. And then, 168 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you look at what we have coming up 169 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: in the in the system. Our top prospect, Lombard's hitting 170 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: two thirty four with seven home runs in four hundred 171 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: minor league at bats. Can we get fucking serious for 172 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: a minute. This team's talent evaluators cannot be trusted, not 173 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 2: for a second. If my house was on fire, I 174 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 2: wouldn't trust them to turn on the hose. You got 175 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: to bring in someone competent to rebuild this organization. You 176 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: gotta fire all the coaches. You gotta fire all the scouts. 177 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: You gotta get rid of all the prospects. It might 178 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: take a two three year reset. This is a rich, rich, 179 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 2: very rich organization. They can afford to do this. You 180 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: gotta reset. It's gonna take a couple of years. The 181 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: podcast wouldn't be as exciting because we'll be covering a 182 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: lot of you know, tough tough seasons, tough tough games. 183 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: But ultimately, this team needs a reset. You can't just retool, retool, retool. Eventually, 184 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 2: you need to rebuild the minor leagues. You got to 185 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 2: get fresh blood in their fresh scouts. You got to 186 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: get fresh guys in there teaching fundamentals. You gotta, you know, 187 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: get rid of the Randy Levines and the Fishman's and 188 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 2: the cash means. Hell, might even have to get rid 189 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: of the Steinbrenners. We got some calls here today, all right, 190 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: So let's start with Matt from Denver. 191 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, Matt from Denver. Look, I think we all 192 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: know that this Yankee team is good enough to beat 193 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: up on bad teams and not good enough to win 194 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: against another good team. So it seems like all that's 195 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 3: gonna happen is we're gonna make it to the playoffs 196 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: in some sort of wild card capacity and then get bounced. 197 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: He's getting out of breath. I think you called me 198 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: during a workout there. But yes, I agree with you 199 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 2: on that's the best this team is going to do 200 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: is probably wild card round. Maybe you win a wild 201 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: card round if you're at home, but you know, I 202 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: can't see this team getting any further than the American 203 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: League Division Series, and that's a shame because the fans 204 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: deserve better, especially the prices. 205 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: Don't kill me, but I am a standing Boone. I 206 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: think I got to kill you. But when it comes 207 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 4: to like put second decisions like pensioning Jazz in the eighth, 208 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 4: he totally gets outmanaged. I mean, what do you expecting 209 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 4: them to not go to a Lessie and then LESSI 210 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 4: Lestie has to know it's like way harder to hit them, 211 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 4: righty ready. I mean, that's that's one thing that really 212 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 4: with him. 213 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. Boone is not a good 214 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: in game manager, and we've known that for a while. 215 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: We got a great point here from Danny Trey who 216 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: says the Brewers put most of their money in training, scouting, 217 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: and coaching, and you know what, They're good year after year. 218 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: If they had the Yankees payroll, maybe be unstoppable. But 219 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: Garrett says, not giving any more money to this organization 220 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: until things change is my new hat for a while. Baby. 221 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 2: Here's Milton, all right. 222 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 5: There, there are just Milton from Texas, real quick statistics, 223 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 5: and I know they can be tedious sometimes, but they 224 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 5: have to be told the Yankees. Rather. There are eleven 225 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 5: teams that have had a better record than the Yankees. 226 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 5: Give a take a percentage here and there, and they 227 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 5: have Yankees have two hundred and ten home runs. The 228 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: other eleven teams are either first or second place, and 229 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 5: they average all to the other eleven teams on average, 230 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty six run home runs so far 231 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 5: this year. And that tells you a lot. That tells 232 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 5: you a lot. No no, no home runs yesterday, So 233 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 5: they lose. Two days ago, they got one home run. 234 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 5: They lose today. They're losing so far. One home that's 235 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: the positive signs that hits still hanging home runs, and 236 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 5: that's about it. Give you a few hits and I 237 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 5: can replace that home run with a few hits. 238 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 2: But anyway, Yeah, so the home run or nothing approach 239 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: is being proven to not work this year. I mean, 240 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta be this is a sport that's 241 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: been around for a long time. You can't reinvent this game. 242 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 2: You gotta move runners, you gotta you know, they to 243 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: be credit fair. They have been stealing bags, but you 244 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: got to run the bases better. You know, you gotta 245 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: do the little things, and this team just doesn't. Here's 246 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: another voicemail. 247 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 6: Here, Hey, there gets Ray tap you man. Good content 248 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 6: has always on your channel. I'm not gonna lie, man, 249 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 6: this team is absolutely cooked. They look like the twenty 250 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 6: twenty three Yankees all over again. And they if they 251 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 6: can't beat the Red Socks, they're not gonna beat the 252 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 6: Blue Jays, the Astros or the Tigers, and I'm sure 253 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 6: they're not going to beat the Nationals or the White Socks. 254 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 6: It's unfortunate because this team has way too much depth 255 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 6: to be playing like this. But hopefully next season things 256 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 6: get better because I just don't see nothing happening this season. 257 00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 6: Take care as always, man, let's. 258 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 2: Be you well. I don't see anything changing until changes 259 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: happen at the top. You know, not just Boone but 260 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: cashman scouts. I think you need I think you got 261 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: too many cooks in the kitchen. I mean when you 262 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: got entire teams of analytics people, you know, making up 263 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: lineups and things like that, that's too many cooks in 264 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: the kitchen. You got to get one voice. That's one 265 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: thing that George Steinbrenner did much better than his son. 266 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: Everyone knew where the buck stopped right. Everyone knew who 267 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: was in charge and who was leading things. And there 268 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: was no question what his motivation was. It wasn't to 269 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: make money, it was to win. And that was George Steinbrenner. 270 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: Quick word from Eric Kratz True Classic.

Yankees now sixty nine and sixty game and 294 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: a half behind the Red Sox in the standings and 295 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: not looking good. And now they're staring down the barrel 296 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 2: of a sweep. So, I mean, you gotta be embarrassed 297 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: if you're the Yankees organization. Robert says, they like to 298 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: prove their fans no better. Yesterday, Wells makes a bonehead 299 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: decision running and he's right back in the next day. 300 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: Same with Fopy, and Samantha says, how can anyone be 301 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 2: a fan of Boom? You're not wrong, guys, I don't 302 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: know what to say. I mean, I'm gonna be here 303 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 2: for the rest of the season after every game like always, 304 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: But I don't want to get your hopes up. This 305 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 2: team's not gonna do much this year. I mean, there 306 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: are years where you just stink as a baseball team. 307 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 2: This is one of those years. Unfortunately, until major changes 308 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: are made within the organization, I don't see it getting better. 309 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 2: I don't see them turning it around next year. I'm 310 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: sure Garrett Cole will be back and he will be better, 311 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: but I just can't see them turning it around until 312 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 2: they change the way that they value the fundamentals of 313 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 2: the game, until they learn how to focus. I mean, 314 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: it's crazy that guys get better when they leave. I 315 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,360 Speaker 2: mean glabor Tores, look at the year he had. I mean, 316 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: Soto's got stole twenty bases. He couldn't run the bases 317 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,239 Speaker 2: last year. Yankees got to figure it out, and they 318 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: got to do it quick because it's getting difficult to watch. 319 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 2: I'll see you guys next time.
