1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentleman, welcome here.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,120
Speaker 2: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Tough night for the Yankees

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: and tough night for Clay Holmes.

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 3: And I feel like I'm in that movie groundhog Day,

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 3: right where the same thing keeps happening over and over

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 3: and over again, and no matter what you do, you

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 3: can't change it. How many times do we have to

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: watch Clay Homes blow games before we take him out

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: of these high leverage situations. It's obvious that he's not

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 3: a closer. Even when he was pitching well. I want

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 3: to bring this to you, guys attention. Even when he

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 3: was pitching well early on in the season, he wasn't

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: pitching well. He was getting lucky. A lot of the

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: contact that he was giving up was extremely hard. He

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: would give up foul balls that would go, you know,

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: an inch from being a game tying double, or a

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: fly ball right to the warning track, or somebody would

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: scorch one right at an infield, and I felt like

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 3: he was just doing this impossible tightrope walk that was

20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 3: not going to be sustainable. And here we are, and

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: as we mentioned last night, he's blown eleven saves. If

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: you take away even half of those. The Yankees have

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 3: a comfortable lead in not only the American League East,

24
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: but in the American League home field advantage race, which

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: they've given up several years now in a row.

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: They've had opportunities.

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,559
Speaker 3: Last year they didn't, but you know, in previous years,

28
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: you know, like twenty twenty two, they jumped out to

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: that great start and then they flushed it down the

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: toilet and became a big deal in the postseason. So

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: we're going to do the voicemails a little bit differently today.

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: Almost every voicemail that we got, not all of them,

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 3: but pretty much every single voicemail that we got was

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: about Clay Holmes. And so today is kind of a

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: montage of all of the different voicemails, back to back

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 3: to back. Because I didn't want to go like, you know,

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: here's your take on Clay Holmes, here's my take on

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: Clay Holmes.

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Here's take on Clay Holmes. Here's my take again on

40
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Clay Homes. So I wanted to let.

41
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: The fans have their say, and so I put in

42
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 3: every single voicemail that we got about Clay Holmes that

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: was playable. We got a few that were a few

44
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: too many f bombs. There's still some F bombs in there,

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 3: So hij your kids, hid your wife. But just know

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 3: that I did my best to kind of give a

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: fair representation of how you guys feel about this situation.

48
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: So there's gonna be a nice long block of voicemails

49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: and then we'll have an AD and then I'll come

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 3: back and talk about Clay homes and the misery that

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: we're all going through.

52
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: It's weird. It's like I have PTSD. You know. I

53
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: have this dog.

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Her name is Pepper, and we got her when she

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: was about six months old, and we're really good to Pepper.

56
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: We're really really good to her.

57
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: But anytime one of us is carrying like a big stick,

58
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: like I have a baseball bat that sometimes I just

59
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: carry around just a swing.

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: I have a big like a like a three foot.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 3: Long spring that I exercise with, and when I'm holding

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: either one of those, Pepper runs Wayne hides. Even though

63
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: I would never hit Pepper with that, but I think

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: when she was a baby, somebody hit Pepper with a

65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: big stick.

66
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: So I feel the same way.

67
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: When I watch Clay Holmes, I just recoil in agony

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: because I'm waiting for the impending pain that's coming. So

69
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know how much longer we

70
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: can take. But I feel like I feel like this

71
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: might have been the straw that broke the camel's back.

72
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: So let's get to your voicemails.

73
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: I know, York Steady, I cannot believed the ball, But

74
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: do it?

75
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: Cardiac Clay, Derek, Cardiac Clay.

76
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 6: Why does Aaron Boone continue to use this tool?

77
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 7: Jake Cousins needs to be our closer.

78
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 8: I'm gonna try to be optimistic about this mess, maybe

79
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 8: with a Clay Holmes saying they can finally realize that

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 8: the last straw they can't do it with him. They're

81
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 8: going to have to go with bullpen by committee.

82
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 9: But hopefully this is a wake up call.

83
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, sure on here, just watch the eleventh alone, say

84
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 10: for Clay Holmes, hopefully that's the new Yankee record. And

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 10: this is what a talented, inconsistent team play is like.

86
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 10: If it's not the defense, sen it's the offense. If

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 10: it's not the offense, then it's the bullpen. But somebody

88
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 10: blows it and it's Holmes. Nowhere else series.

89
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 11: This year, this is the horrible, horrible game last night.

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 11: We need to send Clay Holmes to like Quantanamo Bay.

91
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 11: My recommendation is try Weavers the closer for the rest

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 11: of the season, or when Gila Schmidt come back, make

93
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 11: one of them the closer. Love your show, keep up

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 11: the great work, looking forward to your football podcast.

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 4: I don't understand how Claylon Peters started on the you

96
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: walk two guys, you give up a single. I mean

97
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: they didn't even put Corey Seeger in and we still

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 4: couldn't get it out. I think we need to visit

99
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: every single option in the bullpend to be a close there.

100
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 4: I mean, Leaver has a better pitch. I don't even

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: hate moving a role Dog or even at Louis Hill.

102
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: When he gets back into his closer role. They need

103
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 4: to be someone else besides Clay Homes. So that's just

104
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: what I think it happened again.

105
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: When that guy hit the Grand Slam.

106
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 7: I think that shut fear and loss of confidence in

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 7: his heart.

108
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 6: There's just no way that's gonna be hard to recover from.

109
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 5: Clay Holmes time and time again. He is not the

110
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 5: COVID of a team. I used to be a big

111
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: Clay Home supporter, and like you said, he started off hot,

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 5: but she's just not that guy.

113
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 11: Well, nothing but another homes disaster.

114
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: Derek, this is Robert.

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 12: What a joke? What a fuck joke?

116
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: That guy is a Grand Slam?

117
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 10: Are you kidding me?

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 9: You ain't even getting up?

119
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you got the first out in the ninth.

120
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 13: And that's it.

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: It's so sad. Good morning, Derek. Joe from Jersey. I

122
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: always dov r my games because I just can't stay up.

123
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 13: So I watched the second half in the morning, the

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 13: second the second they brought Homes in, I watched it

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 13: on Times two speed because I just couldn't stomach it.

126
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 13: I mean, this is just ridiculous. And you know about stats.

127
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 13: Why couldn't they leave Hillinaire for the Knife Enny? I mean,

128
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 13: are we really going to run this guy out there

129
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 13: in a World Series game? I mean, is this is

130
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 13: like turning into like a like a joke, like a

131
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 13: like Aman, a funny camera show or something blown.

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 6: Away by all this clay Home stuff.

133
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 13: Man.

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I've never really been a big fans of

135
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 7: all season, and I think it's probably one of the

136
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 7: biggest indictments of Cashman's tenure.

137
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 6: Honestly, especially his job this season.

138
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: I think even in.

139
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 6: The early parts of the season that he was doing well.

140
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 7: Is still felt like he was being shasy and like

141
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 7: it thought he was getting lucky, and I felt like

142
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 7: it was.

143
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 6: Pretty clear that he needed patchful clothes.

144
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 7: And so the fact that we're kind of just sucking

145
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 7: this position right now, it's just disappointing.

146
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 6: And I can't really say they have a lot of

147
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: strust in this casting the game right now.

148
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 11: I wanted to talk about Boone. I think Aaron Boone

149
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 11: has lost total control of this team, and if he

150
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 11: doesn't at least get to the World Series, I don't

151
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 11: think the Yankee should bring him back. This is his

152
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 11: contract year and let him go manage the Reds or

153
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 11: go manage a different team, because it's time for a change.

154
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 11: It's time for a change with Aaron Boone and Clay

155
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 11: Holmes and everything. And the definition of insanity is doing

156
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 11: the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

157
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 11: And I think it's cash we need to retire as well.

158
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 7: So I'm sure you're getting a lot of voice mounts

159
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 7: today about you know, Clay Holmes last night.

160
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: And the thing that worries remount about.

161
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 7: This situation is that it's already the first week of September.

162
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 13: Had they addressed the closer situation, maybe after the Williamsport

163
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 13: game against the Tigers, then there's a clear you know,

164
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 13: six weeks to kind of.

165
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: Figure out who is going to fill in as to

166
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: close a role. We got to kind of scramble. Now

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: if Boone even makes a change, and who is to

168
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: say that he will do that?

169
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: What's up, Derek?

170
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 9: This is Derek in Ohio. Wow, another gem by Clay Holmes.

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 9: You know, the definition of insanity is doing the same

172
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 9: thing over and over again expecting a different result.

173
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

174
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 11: What are we doing?

175
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 9: I don't know if you follow basketball, I'm or Knicks fan.

176
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 9: But Tom Sibodal when he gets pissed off on the sideline,

177
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 9: he puts his hands up in the air.

178
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: He goes, what the fuck are we doing?

179
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 9: That's how I That's what I did all night?

180
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 9: What the fuck are we doing? Unbelievable? You know, Aaron

182
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 9: Boone used to yell at umpires and what he would

183
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 9: say all the time. I think it was more or

184
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 9: left last year. But he's to say, make the adjustment.

185
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 9: Make the adjustment, hey Boone, Yankees organization, make the adjustment.

186
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: Hey, Derek. This is William from Florida. At this point

187
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: with Klayt Holmes, all we could do is lave I

188
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: would like to talk about. Is there any good reason

189
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: why the Yankees keep bringing him.

190
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 6: Out to pitch?

191
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point the Sam base is not

192
00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: only looking at Boom cash Man, but ownership. Is there

193
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: a good reason for him to be out there? Is

194
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: there his contract? Why are the key putting him to pitch?

195
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 12: I am on my hands and knee begging for Cashmine

196
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 12: to get fired into the sun.

197
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 6: We knew at the deadline we needed two things.

198
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: We needed lefty.

199
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 6: Relievers and we needed to strike outs in the pen.

200
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 12: Instead of just getting you want, We'll get two good

201
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 12: relievers and one Mott Blake project. He gets two Mott

202
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 12: Blake projects, one of which he did phats after five

203
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 12: fucking games. The problem you go dumpster diving for relievers

204
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 12: like this is when you're closer and never really shit

205
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 12: the bed like Clay is known to do, you have

206
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 12: nobody to repress them.

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: All right, So there is a selection of the Clay

208
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: Holmes voicemails that I could play. There were some in

209
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 3: which it was wall to wall f bombs and I

210
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: chose not to play those, but I left in a

211
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 3: selection because I felt like it was important to the

212
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 3: story to show the emotion that fans are carrying. This morning,

213
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: got a real quick ad from our sponsor today or Gain,

214
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 3: and then I'll be back to talk about Clay Homes

215
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 3: in just a second.

216
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 14: We're looking for real ways to boost our nutrition and

217
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 14: just found a protein shake that actually tastes amazing. It's

218
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 14: called Orgain and it's been a game changer.

219
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 15: Orgain is the leader in real protein power nutrition that

220
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 15: understands that being good for you doesn't have to taste bad.

221
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 15: It's the organic ingredients we're looking for. But I don't

222
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 15: want a grainy battle with my taste buds every day.

223
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 15: You know what I'm saying. It's given smooth milkshake vibes.

224
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 15: That's Orgain and they have a brand new thirty gram

225

228

Speaker 14: hunger too. It's also made without soy ingredients and made

237
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about Clay Holmes. Let's just respond

238
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 3: to that stream of voicemails. I don't even want Clay

239
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 3: Holmes on the team anymore. Forget removing him from the

240
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: closing spot. There was a time this season after he

241
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: got done you know, tightrope walking his first ten or

242
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: fifteen appearances, whatever it was, where he had a zero

243
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: e RA where things started to implode and we all said, hey,

244
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: let's get him out of the closer role. He would

245
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: benefit from being a seventh inning guy. Maybe maybe an

246
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: eighth inning guy, but more likely a seventh inning guy,

247
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: you know, bridge the gap between the starting pitching and

248
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,719
Speaker 3: the high leverage guys. But I don't even think you

249
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: can do that anymore because it's obvious looking at him,

250
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at a picture of him right now

251
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: just makes me angry. It's obvious that his confidence is shot.

252
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: The Yankees ran this guy into the ground by putting

253
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 3: him in a role that he's not built for. If

254
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: the entire league hit what they hit off of Clay

255
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 3: Holmes Sinker, we wouldn't be talking about the lack of

256
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: offense in Major League Baseball. Here's hitting like three p

257
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: fifty off of it, and that is obviously not what

258
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 3: you want from the closing spot now.

259
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: Usually he avoids the upper deck.

260
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: Grand slam that he had last night, but there's still

261
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: too many walks, too many hard hit singles, too many

262
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: shots down the line, too many gappers, and the time

263
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: has come to get him off the team because he

264
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: is detrimental to the squad right now. Put him on

265
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: the IL if you have to. We've got some guys

266
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: coming back. We got Louise Heal, We've got Clark Schmidt.

267
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: But we're a half game out, and if it weren't

268
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 3: for Clay Holmes, we'd be about seven games up in

269
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: the Al East, we'd have the best record in Major

270
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 3: League Baseball. And to continue to run this guy out

271
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: there and let him destroy our season, it almost seems intentional.

272
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: It almost seems criminal, and I'm ashamed that the Yankees

273
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 3: have let it go on this long. I'm embarrassed to

274
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: be a Yankee fan this morning. And I'm sorry if

275
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: this sounds overly dramatic, because at the end of the day,

276
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: it is baseball. It's a sport, it's leisure, it's entertainment,

277
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 3: but it's also my life. I've dedicated my life to

278
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: covering every single Yankees game, and to see them willingly

279
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 3: ignore a problem and just hope it goes away is

280
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: beyond frustrating.

281
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,080
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of you.

282
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 3: You guys are frustrated, as you can tell by that

283
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: wall of voicemails that we just had, So I urge

284
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: you all to just hang in there and hopefully we'll

285
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 3: you know, after the early exit from the playoffs that

286
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: we're certain to have, Hopefully we'll replace Aaron Boone, Hopefully

287
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: we'll get a different closer. I don't know if Brian

288
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: Cashman will be back. He's signed, but Boone is not.

289
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: But hopefully better things are on the way. This feels

290
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 3: like the post mortem that we do every year when

291
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: they lose, even though it's not even though we're still

292
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: in it, I felt like our season suffered a mortal

293
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: wound last night. Even though we're a half game out

294
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: mathematically we're in good shape. I feel like we took

295
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: a gut blow last night, and now the inevitable bleedout begins.

296
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 3: I'll see you guys after the game tonight. All right,

297
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: Today's no Derek prediction. Jazz Chisholm's been swinging the back

298
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: really well. He's had a bunch of multi hit games

299
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 3: in a row. I think he's going deep. I liked

300
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: his swings last night. I think he's gonna run into one.

301
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 3: He is my prediction tonight for a home run. Jazz

302
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: Chisholm going deep in Texas in the series finale, and

303
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: we'll see you after the game. If you enjoyed this video,
