1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Wanted to pull up capsul. 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody? Monday, August fourth, and there is 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: no joy in Yankees universe right now. The Yankees are 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: eighteen and twenty seven in their last forty five games. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 2: This is going to be mostly a voicemail driven podcast, 6 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: but I did want to say a few things before 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: we get to that. The summer swoon had shown some 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: signs of dissipating, but now it's back in full effect 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: and Aaron Boone is once again at the center of 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 2: the storm. In terms of the media, the call in 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: shows the sportscasters all of that. Brian Cashman should be 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 2: on the hot seat as well, although I thought that 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: Cashman made some nice moves at the deadline given his options, 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: But things like fundamentals based running, accountability, all of those 15 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: things are things that are all gonna fall back on 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: the manager. It looks really bad. We were starting to 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: feel pretty good after the trade deadline, but the Yankees 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 2: have yet to win since the trade deadline. I gotta say, 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: on a side note, I am impressed by the Marlins. 20 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: I think they've got some really good young players. They 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: are definitely a team that is on the rise. Tonight, 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 2: the Yankees will do battle with the Texas Rangers, and 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: hopefully tomorrow or the next day, we'll get Aaron Judge 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: back in the lineup in the stadium where you hit 25 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: number sixty two. I am very interested to see what 26 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: happens with the John Carlos Stanton situation when Judge comes back. 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: To me. That's the most interesting part of this whole thing. 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: I think Judge is gonna hit fine. But Stanton has 29 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 2: been such a vital piece of the lineup for now 30 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, even swinging the bat really really good. 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: And we know we can't play the outfield. We know 32 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: that if you try and play him in the outfield, 33 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: he's gonna end up on the il. So you know, 34 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: will they take Will they take that risk and put 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 2: him out there just to get judged some DH spots, 36 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: or will they sit him and lose that bet entirely. 37 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting storyline that is yet to unfold. 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: A lot of the talk on the Yankees radio this 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: morning was about Aaron Boone potentially being on the hot seat. 40 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: I do not think the Yankees will make a managerial 41 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 2: change in season, although if they miss the playoffs, if 42 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: they continue an epic collapse. I could see it happening 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: in the offseason. The base running problems have been exhausting, 44 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: exhausting as a fan to watch. You know, those of 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: us who are old enough to remember watching good baseball 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 2: find this brand of just home run or nothing, and 47 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: forget the fundamentals, forget the small parts of the game. 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: We forget. We feel this is extremely difficult to watch. 49 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: And then you got Ben Rice, who is not technically 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: a rookie, but for all intensive purposes, is a rookie. 51 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: It's his first full season. You got him saying that 52 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: the Yankees need a bigger sense of urgency. I mean 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: that has to fall on the manager. For a rookie 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 2: to recognize that a team is not treating winning and 55 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: treating game situations with enough urgency, urgency that he believes 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: they should have. That's a major red flag. Man, that 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 2: is a major red flag. And for the first time 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: that I can recall, we saw Aaron Boone get mad 59 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: at somebody other than an umpire or John Boy when 60 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: he was going after the first base coach after the 61 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: Jazz play the other day, right, I mean, and as 62 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: the season begins to slowly unravel, you know, it's moving 63 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: in that direction. I would expect to continue to see 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: Boone get more and more animated and more and more 65 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: in panic mode because the accountability eventually, eventually is going 66 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: to fall on him if he doesn't get it out 67 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: of his players. And I feel like they waited too 68 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: long to get their act together. John F. Kennedy once said, 69 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: the time to fix the roof is when the sun 70 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: is shining right. The baseball analogy to that is the 71 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: time to learn fundamentals and the proper way to play 72 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 2: the game, and the time to stress that is in 73 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: spring training, it's in the off season, and then it 74 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 2: should just become automatic during the season. And if somebody 75 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 2: slips up, they need to be reminded immediately, immediately and 76 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: without any kind of delay, without any kind of, you know, 77 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: questionability as to why that. Making mental mistakes, making base 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: running mistakes is not acceptable. And that means benching, that 79 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: doesn't mean sticking up for him in the press. So 80 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: you know, we've seen some regression. Austin Wells has been awful. 81 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschman has completely fallen off a cliff, and he 82 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: was so important to this team. The first couple of 83 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: months of this season. Jonathan Lewisega was ineffective and now 84 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: he's injured again. The guy just cannot stay healthy. But look, 85 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: it's not all negative. Trent Grisham had a good series. 86 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,919 Speaker 2: He's coming around. He's starting to hit home runs again, 87 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: getting Judge back probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. Ben Rice 88 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: hits the balls hard this weekend, so maybe he's coming around. 89 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: And despite the implosion on Friday night, I think the 90 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 2: bullpen is in a much better position than they would 91 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: have been had we not made those moves. Another glaff 92 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: ass full perspective. I thought Luis Heel, despite the rough outing, 93 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 2: looked healthy. The fastball was good. It had that life 94 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: that we're used to, just didn't have the other stuff, 95 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 2: the command, the break. Stanton swinging well. I think Stanton 96 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: has been the most consistent that he has been as 97 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: a hitter since coming to the Yankees. Right, He's just 98 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 2: he's looked great. Can't run anymore, can't play the field anymore, 99 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: but he can hit, and he's a guy I won 100 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: up in a big spot. Jason Domingez continues to get 101 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: better and better and better, very quietly heating up from 102 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: the right side. Yet they continue to pinch hit for 103 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: him in big spots Austin Slater yesterday, I mean, really 104 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: really Volpi. For all his defensive struggles and all of 105 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: his you know, batting average problems, he continues to hit bombs, 106 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: and he's hit some big home runs recently. You know, 107 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 2: he seems like a guy who might have that clutch. 108 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: Genie hit that Grand Slam in the World Series last year. 109 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 2: You know, I remember a big hit off of class. 110 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: Who knows if Class was betting on the game, but 111 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: BOPEI got it done. It was last year off one 112 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: hundred mile hour cutter. So there are some things that 113 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: we can feel optimistic about. Obviously, the next several games 114 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: could make or break the Yankees playoff chances. You get 115 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: swept by Texas, lose two out of three from Houston, 116 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: maybe even lose two out of three from Minnesota, might 117 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 2: be cooked, Buddy, you might be cooked. You don't want 118 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: to be ten games back and fighting for that final 119 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: wild card spot. All right, let's talk some voicemails here. 120 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: It's just a reaction. 121 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: You'll notice a lot of these are similar in theme. 122 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you guys mostly drive the bus, and 123 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: I'm gonna respond. 124 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: Hey, Eric, Uppolling in today's say, I think we need 125 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 4: to fire Boom. Obviously this isn't something new, but I 126 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: think the reason has changed for me. I think we 127 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: need to fire and the light to push someone them 128 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 4: the guys. I mean, you gotta roll them up at 129 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: least did that a couple year exact with Girardi. The 130 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 4: only issues. I don't know who you get to be 131 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 4: a manager. Maybe it's Maddually needs Girardi. Maybe I don't 132 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 4: know who it is. But Boone's gotta go. The guys 133 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 4: aren't playing hard for him. They're not if this is 134 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 4: a bad baseball team, like you have all the talent, 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 4: you have all the pieces, and you get swept by 136 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: the vine LEAs and you don't look good. It didn't 137 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 4: look good. The only game with the Yankees offense looks 138 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 4: good was Game one where you're pitchy Stack gave up 139 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 4: thirteen rounds. So yeah, I love your opinion on this. 140 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: But yeah, again, I don't think that they will move 141 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: on from Boone during the middle of the season. It's 142 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 2: gonna take a collapse. He's got a long contract. But 143 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: I agree with you, it might be time for a 144 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: different voice in the room. Boone does not seem to 145 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: have control over that clubhouse. The fact that Jazz Chisholm, 146 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 2: after making one of the bone headiest of bonehead plays, 147 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: said he would do the same thing all over again 148 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: tells me that whatever Boone's message is did not get through. 149 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: That's what it tells me. Got a call about Jazz. 150 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: Hi, Derek, this is Gary, old pan Yankee fan. He 151 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 3: probably won't play this. That's called a bunch of time 152 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 3: at you. But that's okay. I'm going to tell you 153 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: how I scale Jazz's comments that he didn't do anything 154 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 3: wrong else at all an ego maniac. He's not a 155 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: team player. He is no way that he can really 156 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: accept the responsibilities of doing anything wrong. You guys talked 157 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: about that so true. Boone not disciplining Jazz publicly the 158 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 3: way he did the first base coach tells you, tells 159 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: you everything that he cannot have the guts to discipline 160 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: his players the same way the coach was twenty percent 161 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 3: at fault. That play lays on Jazz Chisholm to know 162 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: that he's supposed to be a foot or two off 163 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: the bag before when it would a fly ball to 164 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 3: the second basement like that, not. 165 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: I do think that there needs to be more public accountability. 166 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: You know, it was odd to see Boone rip his 167 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: coach like that. I wish we could have seen what 168 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: was said. But you know the fact that the message 169 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: didn't get through to to Chisholm tells you all you 170 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: need to know. He's call from Russell. 171 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, Hey, this is Russell. Hopefully this message get 172 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: on there. Like I said before, the problem with the Yankees, 173 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: as I see, they lack discipline. Boom is too friendly 174 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: or two buddy buddy with the players. Every sports team 175 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: must have discipline, focus, and you got to be a 176 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: disciplinary to your players, just like being an honor I'm 177 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: an army right now. If a soldier get out of line, 178 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: it's called corrective action. When he let both he play. 179 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 5: For so long with sixteen errors and didn't ben them, 180 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 5: that affects the team because you're not showing that hey, 181 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,479 Speaker 5: this would not be tolerated. 182 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: So when Jazz make an error, he's like, well, he's 183 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I want to do it again because 184 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: he's looking at BOTHI like VOPI don't make so many 185 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: turn over us who cares? So that's the problem with 186 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 1: the Yankees. They lack discipline, so when you see them, 187 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: they look dead in the water. Do they feel there's 188 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: no consequences to their action? There's no consequences for them moving, That. 189 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 6: Is the mean. 190 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you that 191 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: the accountability just does not seem to be appropriate, you know. 192 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like physical errors you can get 193 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: by with, but like the mental errors, the base running errors, 194 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: like we've seen all sorts of guys make I mean 195 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: Volpie's mates. He's gotten thrown out a third a few times. 196 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: You know, even Dominguez has had some base running problems. 197 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: Jazz obviously the other night, well the other day. I mean, 198 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: they're getting worse and worse, so I mean something needs 199 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: to be corrected. Here's you. 200 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 7: Good morning, Derek. This is Hugh from Brooklyn, and the 201 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 7: Yankees must get rid of Boom Thursday as they're coming 202 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 7: back home for the Houston Astros series if they want 203 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 7: to retain. 204 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: Wow, sounds like you're audio cut out, But I like 205 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 2: I said, they're not going to get rid of him 206 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: at this point in the season. He's the defending American 207 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: League champion manager. They're going to let him finish the season, 208 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: if they lose out, if they finish ten games out, 209 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: if they totally fold down the stretch, or even if 210 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: maybe they get bounced swept in the first round. I 211 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: could see enough being enough. Got to call here about 212 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 2: the payroll. 213 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek Marky, California. Hearing a lot of talk about 214 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 8: the Yankees problems and how it relates to Jeez, we 215 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 8: have this two hundred and ninety seven million dollars payroll. 216 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 8: Why can't we be better? Well, yeah, right now, we've 217 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 8: got a whole bunch of people who aren't playing. We've 218 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 8: got something like eighty six million in salary sitting on 219 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 8: the injured reserve list or the injured list. You got 220 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 8: Coal there, he's just alone. That's thirty six million dollars 221 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 8: that's going out. You have people like le Maayhew still 222 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 8: paying him fifteen million dollars. Strowman still have to pay 223 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 8: him his salary. So I looked up on sports track, 224 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 8: and of the active players right now, there's only like 225 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 8: three Yankees as about one hundred and sixty million dollars 226 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 8: is actually on the field right now. So don't know 227 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 8: if that's what it's about. Might be more about Boone 228 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 8: and just not inspiring who he's got to play, which 229 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 8: are a lot. 230 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: Of No matter what your paycheck is, baseball doesn't change. Right. 231 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: If you get paid a lot more money, theoretically you 232 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: should be able to run the bases a lot better. 233 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I know that's not the way it works. 234 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: You get paid for home runs and RBIs and all 235 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: that stuff. Yes, Garrett Cole being out sucks. Okay, Losing 236 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: Louis Heal for half the season hurt the team. Doesn't 237 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 2: make a lot of money, but it hurts the team. 238 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 2: But the fact that they're still paying Lemayhew, I mean, 239 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: that's just Cashman's fault. That's just roster construction. He's the 240 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: one who wanted to spread that contract out over a 241 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: couple of extra years. That's what they wanted to do 242 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: because they didn't want to pay a luxury tax. And 243 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: then it eats up a roster spot. It keeps you 244 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: from improving the team in the offseason. Here's Wayne, Hi, Derek. 245 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 6: This is Wayne from California, a lifelong Yankees fan. Derek, 246 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 6: the coaching staff has got to go. Aaron Boone and 247 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 6: the two clowns that purport to be first base and 248 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 6: third base coaches have got to go. I mean, we 249 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 6: have the same terrible base running that the LA Dodgers 250 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 6: talked about in the scouting report before last year's World Series. 251 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 6: Nothing's changed. Aaron Boone never does anything to change the 252 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 6: terrible base running that we do. Washington loves didn't know 253 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 6: how many the outs there were a few nights ago, 254 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 6: and I've never seen that in my entire life watching 255 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 6: professional baseball. I've never seen a professional forget how many 256 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 6: outs there were like that. That was a scrapeful. 257 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 9: Yeah. 258 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: I've seen it happen a number of times, and usually 259 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 2: the guy gets benched. But it wasn't so much that 260 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: he forgot how many outs there were. It's that he 261 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 2: forgot how many outs there were as the winning run 262 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: in scoring position in the ninth inning. That to me 263 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: is unforgivable. That's a complete unawareness of the situation. Now. 264 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 2: I remember back in the nineties when the Yankees would 265 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 2: get on base, Willie Randolph was the third base coach, 266 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: and I think, you know, maybe Lee Massili was first base. 267 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: I might have that backwards, but when somebody was on base, 268 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: they would look at the coach ahead of them and 269 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: they would say, you know, two outs, one out, like 270 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 2: that was when you got on base, what you had 271 00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: to do was signaled to the coach, right. I remember 272 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: my dad pointing that out to me during a game 273 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: we were watching one time. I thought, man, that's a 274 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: great idea, great way to keep guys heads in the game. Yank, 275 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 2: you should bring that back. 276 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 10: Here's Craig, Hi, Derek, this is Craig from South O. 277 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 10: Was on Park Queen's. I think that you're well, I 278 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 10: know that you're right on about Dominga's he should be played. 279 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 10: There's a guy on this podcast, Gary Sheffield Junior. He's 280 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 10: always bagging. He's bagging on on Dominga's and saying, how 281 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 10: you know he makes boneheaded mistakes, this, that and the 282 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 10: other thing. But he doesn't he doesn't even realize that 283 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 10: the kids are rookie he's gonna make mistakes. Then he 284 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 10: was mad about him. He said, he you know not 285 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 10: catching that. You know that grand slam. You know that 286 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 10: that had happened, that would have been like an amazing 287 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 10: catch at best. Yeah, you know, He's that. 288 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: Would have been a tremendous catch. So I got no 289 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 2: problem with Gary Sheffield Junior. I don't really watch their 290 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: podcast all that much. I've seen it a few times. 291 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty good. But you know, different people 292 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: have different opinions. I personally am sticking by to Mingez 293 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 2: because I can see the improvement. I see the attitude, 294 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: I see the looseness, I see the power potential. I 295 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: like switch hitters. There's a lot of reasons to like 296 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 2: Di Minga is the athleticism, the way he runs the base, 297 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 2: is the speed. The arm, He's got a very good arm. 298 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: Is he the best outfielder in the world. No, but 299 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: he has improved, and to me, I think he's gonna 300 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: be a really good player, and I hope the Yankees 301 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: stick with him. 302 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 4: Derek, I went to all three games down here, and 303 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: all I got to say is, at this point, the 304 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: Yankees owe me money. I'm just I'm not even mad. 305 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 4: I'm just disappointed. 306 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: That's funny. 307 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: I have nothing to say. 308 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 11: This is this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. 309 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 2: My condolence is on a tough three day weekend, Heydar. 310 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 9: This is Connor from Charlotte, North Carolina, and I was 311 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 9: talking to my dad last night and I feel like, 312 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 9: like me and my dad, we were having some fun 313 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 9: with the team. We were taking a little outside the 314 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 9: box and for the managerial position. I feel like this 315 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 9: guy will be a great manager. And Yankee fans haven't 316 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 9: heard this guy in a while, but Russell Martin. I 317 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 9: feel like he will be a great manager for this team. 318 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 9: He made the postseason ten times in his fourteen year career. 319 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 9: He made four All Star teams. And he's played with 320 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 9: the Yankees. He played with the Core four. He's caught 321 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 9: many pitchers and one thing I like about him, he's 322 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 9: stuck up for a lot of his pitchers and he 323 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 9: was such a great club ass guy. 324 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: I liked Russell Martin. I thought he was a good 325 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 2: player with the Yankees. That being said, I don't want 326 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: to go with another first time manager right it's difficult 327 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: to win as the first time manager. I want the 328 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 2: Yankees to go with someone seasoned. I think Joe Girardi 329 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: is the best option.

You have to go 356 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 11: on around even it just makes you feel better. I 357 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 11: think it's the only thing that this seriously do to 358 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 11: me does the yankeesindo is to just you going around? 359 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 9: It makes me feel a whole lot better. 360 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 11: But I'm being a little obviously facetious. 361 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 2: This is terrible, but appreciate the call. One does not 362 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 2: simply rent. It has to be the right I have 363 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 2: to be in the right frame of mind to unleash 364 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: that kind of energy. You know, I work two jobs, 365 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: and typically at the end of the day, after watching 366 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 2: the podcast or watching the game and starting a podcast, 367 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 2: I'm typically very hired, and I try and make it 368 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 2: as entertaining as possible, and I don't build the show 369 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 2: with a rant in mind. So for the rants to happen, 370 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: typically it's either something happens very early in the game 371 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,959 Speaker 2: and then the game just stays crappy and I just 372 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 2: I'm brewing the entire time, or something happens late in 373 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: the game and just throws my entire like planned show, 374 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: you know, out the window. Right, So that's why Devin 375 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: Williams has had a few rants, and then also Marcus 376 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 2: Stroman Rest in Peace, he had a rant because he 377 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 2: blew a game, you know, in two minutes into it. Anyway, 378 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: tough series for the Yankees. Let's hope they turn it 379 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: around tonight in Texas. I'll be live after the game. 380 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 2: Remember the game starts at eight pm tonight, so we 381 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: got a few hours to go, so stand by. And 382 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: so we got a question about whether or not I'd 383 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: be able to do the show if the hurricane comes. 384 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 2: I'm obviously I'm in North Carolina. That's why I do 385 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 2: the show live from which sucks because I'm always getting 386 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: invited to stuff for yank Yankee stuff, like I got 387 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 2: invited to do this one Yankees fan versus ten Red 388 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: Sox fans fang this morning in Manhattan next week, and 389 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 2: I can't go right because I'm here and I'm working. 390 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 2: You know, I just can't make it back in time. 391 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 2: So yeah, I wish, I wish. Maybe I'll have to 392 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 2: relocate at some point. But anyway, if the hurricane does 393 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: impact me and I lose power, obviously we will not 394 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: have a post game. But I'll do my best to 395 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: you know, keep it online. I'll be you know, fighting 396 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 2: it like Lieutenant Dan, you and me, it's time for 397 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 2: a showdown. Uh, But I'll do my best. But hopefully, 398 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 2: whether permitting, everything will be okay.
