Speaker 1: All right, that's it defeat. It is Friday, August eighth,
Speaker 1: and the Yankees were back in the Bronx to take
Speaker 1: on the Houston Astros in Game one of a three
Speaker 1: game series. Cam Schlitzler was on the mound biggest start
Speaker 1: of his career, Yankees, trying to make it two wins
Speaker 1: in a row. My recap, your reactions coming up next.
Speaker 1: This is penstripe territory, whim to cook a cold. I
Speaker 1: would say that I can't believe it, but I absolutely
Speaker 1: can believe it. Having watched Aaron Boone and Devin Williams
Speaker 1: for the entirety of their Yankees careers, which will both
Speaker 1: hopefully be ending after this season, I absolutely believe everything
Speaker 1: that happened in this game. I told you guys many
Speaker 1: many times that the toughest shows for me to do
Speaker 1: are the ones where not a lot happens when it's
Speaker 1: a pitcher's duel, right because there's not a whole lot
Speaker 1: to break down, And every once in a while I
Speaker 1: get worried when it looks like it's gonna be one
Speaker 1: of those nights and the game is taking a long
Speaker 1: time to unfold. And that was kind of the case tonight.
Speaker 1: First five innings of this game for a Yankees fan,
Speaker 1: total snooze fest innings six through nine. Pretty exciting Inning
Speaker 1: ten when we saw Devin Williams coming out of the bullpen,
Speaker 1: sheer befuddlement and terror because we knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: We knew what was gonna happen, and ultimately this podcast
Speaker 1: that I was wondering what it was gonna be about,
Speaker 1: very clear what it is about. Now. Aaron Boone has
Speaker 1: got to go. And Devin Williams, he's the anti Christ.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to say. He's the worst.
Speaker 1: He's the absolute worst. This guy absolutely stinks. Are manager stinks?
Speaker 1: Holy shit? Where is the tielin all?
Speaker 2: Alright, let's go, let's get it going.
Speaker 1: So Jose Al Tuve continues to be an enormous pain
Speaker 1: in the ass too. You know, he had a big
Speaker 1: home run in the first inning off of Cam Schlitzler,
Speaker 1: kind of took the crowd out of the game immediately,
Speaker 1: and basically the Yankees did nothing after that until the
Speaker 1: sixth inning. They had one base runner in the first
Speaker 1: inning and didn't have another one until the sixth inning.
Speaker 1: Good night for Ben Rice. I thought Cam Schlitzler was
Speaker 1: solid enough for a rookie. In the fourth inning, Cody
Speaker 1: Bellinger made a play that people were gonna forget about.
Speaker 1: He made an unbelievable throw home to nail a runner
Speaker 1: prevented the Astros from scoring in the inning despite having
Speaker 1: three hits. But Yankees were able to come back. Judge
Speaker 1: with a big base knock, you had rice with a
Speaker 1: big bass knock. You had to play where Wells doubled
Speaker 1: down the right field line. McCann really should have scored,
Speaker 1: I thought, but was held up at third base for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Every night it's something else on the bases.
Speaker 1: Runner ended up coming in anyway, So no harm, no
Speaker 1: foul there. But I thought both Delo Santos and Camillo
Speaker 1: Dovall threw the ball really, really well out of the
Speaker 1: bullpen tonight. I was gonna give Dovall possibly the belt.
Speaker 1: I was also considering Dealo Santos. Weaver worked a scoreless
Speaker 1: ninth inning, and at that point it starts to creep
Speaker 1: into the back of your mind. Right It's like you're
Speaker 1: getting deep into the horror movie and the monster's hiding
Speaker 1: somewhere in the bushes, and you just know he's gonna
Speaker 1: pop out at some point. At that point, you start thinking,
Speaker 1: can the Yankees finish this off before Devin Williams has
Speaker 1: to come into the game, right, Because I'm thinking at
Speaker 1: that point it can't be. I mean, they're not going
Speaker 1: to put him in before the thirteenth or fourteenth inning, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no way that would put him in
Speaker 1: in that high of a leverage situation in the tenth
Speaker 1: isn't just I didn't didn't even occur to me. Didn't
Speaker 1: even occur to me that that could happen, that Boone
Speaker 1: would be that stubborn, that stubborn. But you knew when
Speaker 1: the Yankees go to extra innings they almost always lose.
Speaker 1: They stink in extra innings. But I see Devin Williams
Speaker 1: after the Apple commercial or whatever, I see him warming up,
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, what the hell is this guy doing
Speaker 1: in there? I couldn't believe it. First pitch he hits
Speaker 1: the freaking backstop. Then he gives up a shot off
Speaker 1: the right field wall. Rosario slams into the wall trying
Speaker 1: to catch it. I thought for a second they were
Speaker 1: going to have to send John Carlos Stanton out the
Speaker 1: right field with his walker. The tennis balls on the bottom.
Speaker 1: Volpi knocked in a run. Oh wait wait, Williams served
Speaker 1: up the two run home run. After that, you give
Speaker 1: a base hit and then Yankees threatening the ninth or
Speaker 1: in the tenth. Sorry, Volpi knocked in a run. Paul Golsman,
Speaker 1: I thought had a really good at bat, Stanton had
Speaker 1: a pinch hit walk. But Grisham oh for his career
Speaker 1: against Josh Hater couldn't get it done. But I mean
Speaker 1: the fact that Devin Williams was even in that game
Speaker 1: completely baffles me. Completely baffles me. Yankees dropping another one.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even think straight. I got a
Speaker 1: bunch of super chats here that I want to read here.
Speaker 1: Chad Pritchett says Dexter would make better decisions than Boone,
Speaker 1: referring to my cat. I guess beast Mode says we
Speaker 1: need to win games. Let's put Williams out there. Obviously,
Speaker 1: speaking facetiously, Brian says watching this team makes his eyes bleed.
Speaker 1: Listening to Dantrell Willis makes his ears bleed. Mad Man says,
Speaker 1: my cousins at the stadium section two oh three. The
Speaker 1: entire stadium has been shouting few Boone since the tenth
Speaker 1: inning and it's still going on. Hilarious. Rowdy Retel says
Speaker 1: Yankees have five bad relievers, Williams is four of them.
Speaker 1: Samantha says, why the f was Williams even pitching in
Speaker 1: a high leverage situation? Again, we got a bunch of
Speaker 1: voicemails about that. Tonight's one of those nights where I
Speaker 1: gotta basically throw everything out and just go to the voicemails,
Speaker 1: because you guys completely are on the same page with
Speaker 1: me tonight, completely on the same page. D's Channel says
Speaker 1: bum of the Day three Way Bells or Sorry, Well's
Speaker 1: Devin and Bonehead Xavier Rosar says, what has boone seen
Speaker 1: in Williams this year? He's trying to protect his feelings.
Speaker 1: He's trying to get his confidence right, and it's not
Speaker 1: gonna work because he Devin Williams doesn't have an ounce
Speaker 1: of guts. He doesn't. I mean, I don't mean to
Speaker 1: like jump on the guy. I mean he's a professional athlete.
Speaker 1: He's more than I've ever done. But like you, compared
Speaker 1: to the other men in his profession, he's a you know,
Speaker 1: he's I don't even know, he's just he doesn't have
Speaker 1: the guts for the ninth inning. Brian Gonzalez says, this
Speaker 1: was a winnable game. Boone and Williams worked together to
Speaker 1: blow it. This was a fireble offense. Williams should be
Speaker 1: dfaded immediately. Lewis Tahata says, get Williams and Boone the
Speaker 1: hell out of the Bronx please. Francis Simiski says Boone
Speaker 1: has got to go tonight. Samanthe tisas Boone has two.
Speaker 1: Boone has to have one of the lowest baseball Boone
Speaker 1: has to have one of the lowest baseball IQs. Ever
Speaker 1: that one was was was tough for me. That one
Speaker 1: was tough. Wait, hang on, I've got a I've got
Speaker 1: a soundtrack for that. Where is it?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I can't find it? Do you speaking? Uh archie? She
Speaker 1: says Boone has to be on the take. There's no
Speaker 1: other explanation. We got some other calls about that. Uh
Speaker 1: btr says MLB should investigate Williams for gambling. They've already
Speaker 1: nabbed Emmanuel class A apparently. Uh p AMX says dfa
Speaker 1: Williams now and then finally, Brian Bashman says, can you
Speaker 1: find that clip of Larry David yelling he stinks that
Speaker 1: would be a good clip to use for this team. Wow,
Speaker 1: that is a lot of super chats. You guys definitely
Speaker 1: uh angry, And I don't blame you. I mean, this
Speaker 1: was this was horrendous. I wanted to touch on Cam
Speaker 1: Schlitzler's performance real quick and then I promise we'll get
Speaker 1: back to Devin Williams. So home run ball continues to
Speaker 1: get Cam Schlitzler. He came into this game with five
Speaker 1: home runs allowed in his first nineteen and change major
Speaker 1: league innings, got to him again tonight, the shot by
Speaker 1: Al Tuve. He did settle down a little bit after that.
Speaker 1: He pitched in and out of some trouble, got out
Speaker 1: of jams, got through the fourth and fifth without further damage,
Speaker 1: had base runners on. I thought he bent, but he
Speaker 1: didn't break. It was one of those, you know, one
Speaker 1: of those games where it was a grind. It could
Speaker 1: have gone much worse. But you know, ultimately he wasn't horrible,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean five innings, two runs, one walk,
Speaker 1: three strikeouts. He did allow seven hits. He scattered seven
Speaker 1: hits is what they would call that. His fastball was
Speaker 1: overwhelming when he needed it to be. One of these
Speaker 1: days we're gonna turn on the TV and we're gonna
Speaker 1: see that his breaking ball is dropping in for strikes,
Speaker 1: or he's getting swings and misses with the slider. He's
Speaker 1: not really there yet, right, it's just not a major
Speaker 1: league pitch yet. It's still kind of inconsistent. It'll probably
Speaker 1: be next spring training he shows up and where they're they're,
Speaker 1: oh my god, Devin or not Devin williamsay he won't
Speaker 1: be there. He'll be long long gone by. Then they'll say,
Speaker 1: Cam Schlitzler has you know, a great deuce this spring,
Speaker 1: Or he's getting tons of swings and this is on
Speaker 1: the change up or the splitter or whatever. They'll figure
Speaker 1: something out for him because he's got the arm right,
Speaker 1: it's just a matter of making it spin. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and take some more voicemail, just a reaction, just
Speaker 1: one about you know, Hey, Derek, first time caller. I
Speaker 1: love the show.
Speaker 4: This is John down in Tennessee beating Yankee fan since
Speaker 4: I got into baseball in about twenty eighteen, something like that.
Speaker 5: Man, this whole time, I've been kind of like, man,
Speaker 5: these guys awful heart on boone, awful heart.
Speaker 2: On this Devin Williams guy. You know, but man, it's
Speaker 2: taking until just.
Speaker 5: Now, and I'm just like, what what is he doing?
Speaker 3: What is he doing? Every time he got Goes in
Speaker 3: the game, blows the game?
Speaker 1: Why was every time Williams in the game?
Speaker 4: What is he?
Speaker 5: What is he thinking?
Speaker 2: Anyway?
Speaker 3: Man, I love the show.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, and you know, I couldn't I
Speaker 1: couldn't fathom. I couldn't even fathom that he was in
Speaker 1: the game for the tenth inning. I couldn't even believe it.
Speaker 1: David Bednar was apparently ready to go tonight. Where was
Speaker 1: Tim Hill? Where was Tim Hill? Like I said, I
Speaker 1: would rather have a position player pitch in a high
Speaker 1: leverage situation than Devin Williams, because you know, there's no
Speaker 1: chance he's getting it done. This guy is a back
Speaker 1: end reliever, right. He's got a five point seven to
Speaker 1: three e r A this year, five point seven three.
Speaker 1: You just cannot allow this to continue. It's not early anymore,
Speaker 1: it's August. These games matter so much. We can't be
Speaker 1: waiting for this guy to somehow have some kind of
Speaker 1: an emotional breakthrough. He sucks, sit his ass on the bench,
Speaker 1: or get him a cab and send him out of town.
Speaker 6: Well, Derek, Devin Williams has done it again. Listen, I
Speaker 6: don't know what the solution is here. Can he not
Speaker 6: be DF eight?
Speaker 5: What is? How do you fix this problem? Because he
Speaker 5: can't remain on the roster. The team is fighting to
Speaker 5: make a wild card and we can't experiment with this
Speaker 5: guy hoping that he gets it together while he blows game.
Speaker 5: They got to figure out something, have a good NA.
Speaker 1: The answer is exactly what you said, DFA him, release him.
Speaker 1: He cannot be pitching for the Yankees anymore. I would
Speaker 1: rather have almost anyone else. I would almost rather have
Speaker 1: a random fucking citizen come out and pitch than Devin Williams.
Speaker 7: Hey, Derek, Oh, let's Russell again. So I'm watching the
Speaker 7: game and we know Williams just gave up a home
Speaker 7: run and a base hit. To the point where do
Speaker 7: we blame Whims or do we blame Boom?
Speaker 1: I'm still a point I'm.
Speaker 7: Blaming Boom for being just freaking an idiot. How many
Speaker 7: times you're gonna keep going down the same rabbit hole.
Speaker 7: Ain't nothing going change. I know you got other relievers.
Speaker 7: I mean, we traded for a billion of them. So
Speaker 7: you're telling me you come and put another reliever out there.
Speaker 7: This is a high pressure situation. Why did you got.
Speaker 2: Him out there?
Speaker 7: I mean, you're gonna keep making the same mistakes over and.
Speaker 2: Over and over and over and over and over.
Speaker 7: Again, and you expecting a different results. That's insanity, that's madness.
Speaker 7: Boom needs to be fired asat agree.
Speaker 1: And I gotta say, I think we've got some first
Speaker 1: time callers tonight. We've got some people who don't. We
Speaker 1: don't have call in very often, but we we've had
Speaker 1: some very good calls, some very clear takes. I have
Speaker 1: to admit I haven't listened to all of these because
Speaker 1: they came in right there at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: So I just grabbed my whole voicemail folder and dragged
Speaker 1: it in. So I'm pleasantly surprised with how good some
Speaker 1: of these calls are. Here's another one.
Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, you know last year during the World Series,
Speaker 4: we're sitting around saying, man, if it hadn't taken Boone
Speaker 4: so long to take homes out of the closer role,
Speaker 4: maybe we would have had home field advantage. Well, I've
Speaker 4: had a thinking feeling that this year come October for
Speaker 4: me watching all the other teams play and saying, man,
Speaker 4: they hadn't taken Boone so long to take Devin out
Speaker 4: of high pressure situations, maybe we would have been in
Speaker 4: the postseason.
Speaker 1: You're not wrong, You're not wrong. I'm getting that feeling
Speaker 1: as well. I really don't want to have to watch
Speaker 1: the whole postseason, right give me a couple of rounds
Speaker 1: at least, But right now, I mean, who was scared
Speaker 1: of the Yankees in the playoffs?
Speaker 2: There?
Speaker 1: Actually, I think we've got a call about that that
Speaker 1: we did get earlier on tonight.
Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, Danny, California. It's been a while, but watching
Speaker 3: the Houston game, it's two nothing astros. Like the third inning.
Speaker 3: I don't even know if we haven't hit yet. But
Speaker 3: the only thing I gotta see, even if we make
Speaker 3: the playoffs, no one fears the fucking Yankees. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 3: unless we just start lighting the world on fire overnight,
Speaker 3: but if that ain't gonna happen. But anyways, it's just
Speaker 3: frustrating because nobody has any fear at all about playing
Speaker 3: the New York Yankees anymore at all. Anyways, have a
Speaker 3: good one man later.
Speaker 1: Great great call man, great call. Here's change.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Derrek Chang, I CEO the beard Man, and
Speaker 2: that beard looks perfect out there on that Now. Who
Speaker 2: cares about three run home runs and two run home
Speaker 2: runs and losing the game. It just you know, people
Speaker 2: that talk about winning games don't really know baseball. They
Speaker 2: don't really know the most important thing is that your
Speaker 2: man fun is up and your beard is perfect.
Speaker 1: Great call, change, great call. It went on for a
Speaker 1: few more minutes, but that's that's the sum of it,
Speaker 1: all right. I haven't heard this one yet.
Speaker 4: We got Matt Hey, Derek mass from California.
Speaker 3: I'm so over this Yankees.
Speaker 1: Nope, not gonna fy f here.
Speaker 3: Hey, can anybody investigate if boone is placing bests on
Speaker 3: this to lose? Because this is insanity. This can be right?
Speaker 1: I appreciate the call. With that, I got to get

Speaker 1: on the YouTube channel, which we had set during the

Speaker 1: I have the number written up on my whiteboard. We
Speaker 1: just he's got twenty four hundred and seventy two. So
Speaker 1: thank you to you guys, and a reminder to like
Speaker 1: and subscribe. I'm told that if I look into the
Speaker 1: camera and ask you passionately to like and subscribe, you
Speaker 1: might actually do it. So we got a couple of
Speaker 1: more chats here. So the Virginian commenting that Chain sounds
Speaker 1: like oh he says, Hulk lives, and Don d says,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, brother, I love it. I
Speaker 1: love Chain's voice. He does sound like Hulk Hogan. And
Speaker 1: then Michael Pinto says, just woke up from a coma
Speaker 1: after twenty twenty four World Series? Did we stop the
Speaker 1: stupid moves yet? Unfortunately, Brother, got some bad news for you.
Speaker 1: PX or PMX two nineteen says Cashman needs to step
Speaker 1: in and release Williams to save Boone from himself. Otherwise
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep putting him in there to blow games.
Speaker 1: It's it's getting to the point where I just can't
Speaker 1: even watch when Devin Williams is in I pace around
Speaker 1: the room. I'm like, I'm like pulling movies off the
Speaker 1: shelf and like eating the back and looking at the
Speaker 1: cover art because I can't look at the screen. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like when you're watching a horror movie as
Speaker 1: a kid and you gotta cover your eyes because the
Speaker 1: monster's coming. Devin Williams is my personal Freddy Krueger. He
Speaker 1: gives me nightmares. This guy cannot be allowed to continue
Speaker 1: to pitch for the Yankees, and Aaron Boone may have
Speaker 1: just sealed his fate, may have just stealed his face. Now.
Speaker 1: I was listening to Michael Kay actually tear into Aaron
Speaker 1: Boone on his radio show where he was talking about, well,
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't put Mark Leer in, you know,
Speaker 1: the other day because he hadn't pitched in a while.
Speaker 1: But we went to you know, Nestor Cortes in the
Speaker 1: World Series and he hadn't pitched in a month. So
Speaker 1: it's like, it's like, what do you really believe? Right?
Speaker 1: I mean, do you really are you just making excuses.
Speaker 1: Are you just saying whatever is free will even real?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Whatever? Where's the tile? In all? Tough night
Speaker 1: for the Yankees this season, quickly going down the drain.
Speaker 1: I want to thank everybody who tuned in tonight, especially
Speaker 1: those of you who called in. We had some great
Speaker 1: calls tonight. We have a bunch that I didn't get to.
Speaker 1: I wish I could get to all of them. But
Speaker 1: you know a couple of positives. Dovall looked great tonight.
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver seemed to throw the ball well. Judge got
Speaker 1: a base hit on a pitch that was you know,
Speaker 1: up and in any kind of inside out of it
Speaker 1: for a single. I mean that was the guy who
Speaker 1: was itting four hundred for two months was doing that.
Speaker 1: So that was a good sign. But once again Yankees
Speaker 1: just struggle to put up runs against a good pitcher,
Speaker 1: completely shut down by Hunter Brown until the sixth inning,
Speaker 1: and the bullpen, despite a valiant effort, still included Devin Williams,
Speaker 1: and thus we end with a loss. If you made
