1
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back. Obviously, a very tough

2
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: series for the Yankees against the Mets, tough home stand

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: in general. You lost four out of six. You did

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: get two games from the Rays, But Yankees are off

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: to a tough start in the second half after finishing

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: the first half in an even tougher way. I don't

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: think it's out of line if you're a Yankees fan

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: to be kind of ticked off, to be kind of

9
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: feeling deja vu, deja vu from the last few years

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: where this team has started off very strong and then

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: gone right in the toilet. We got a number of

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: voicemails this morning that I want to get to, so

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: I will get to those, but just know that I'm

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: here with you, Misery Loves Company. I'll be here with

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: you after every single game. So go ahead and subscribe.

16
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: But let's get to your voicemails real quick and see

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: how you guys are feeling this morning.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: I know your steady. I cannot believe you had the

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: book do it?

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 3: Oh Derek, it looks like Aaron Boon. Isn't that happing

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 3: the press conference again? Now he didn't go as far

22
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: as play stand at table this time. But the last

23
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: time you did that, Yankees went like five and O

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 3: or something like that. But I don't know if this

25
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: hopefully starts another movement again.

26
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 4: Nothing I can say matters. We got to do it.

27
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 4: I'm confident we will. I know we will pull out

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: of this. But that's all it is right now, is

29
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 4: me saying it to you. For as bad as it's been,

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: we're also in a great position and we gotta go play.

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: We got to go play the baseball the way we're

32
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: capable of playing.

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: That's right, ladies and gentlemen, we got to go play

34
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: the baseball. We've got to play better. YadA, YadA, YadA.

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: It would be helpful if we would have better players

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: that might help us play better. Sorry, guys, my mood

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: for the last month or so has been miserable because,

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: like a lot of you, my daily mood depends on

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: how the Yankees are playing, and they've just been flat

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: out stinking up the joint for over a month now.

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: Only the White Sox have been worse, and barely, and

42
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: the White Sox are trading everybody at the deadline. I've

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: seen a few more people say this morning that the

44
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: Yankee should sell That will not happen. They need about

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: six guys at the deadline. Though. There's this scene in

46
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: Ocean's eleven where Brad Pitt's character is teaching movie stars

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: how to play cards, and they're playing five card draw.

48
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: And in five card draw, when you have an ace,

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you're allowed to swap out four other cards from the deck.

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: And so this guy does that. He gets his hand

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: and he says, all right, I want four new cards.

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: And Brad Pitt says, you don't want four new cards.

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: You want to fold. And I don't blame those of

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: you who want to fold right now. A lot of

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: us have a lot of time invested in this, and

56
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: we want to see the Yankees go as far as

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: they can. But if there's another collapse this season, heads

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: have got two roll many heads, Cashman Boone, all them guys.

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 5: The message I would like to play is Boone keeps

60
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 5: saying we gotta play better, we gotta play better. What

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 5: does he doing as a manager to make that happen. Nothing,

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: as far as I can see, have a good show

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 5: a good day.

64
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: I mean, other than tinkering with the lineup, I'm not

65
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: sure there's much else he can do right now. He

66
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: can try and fire up his guys. But this might

67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: not be a group that's capable of being fired up.

68
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: They might not have that kind of personality. I mean,

69
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: you look at all these other teams. You look at

70
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: the Mets, they're having so much fun. You look at

71
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: other teams they get up to play the Yankees, and

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: the Yankees just seem like they're going about their business.

73
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose.

74
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: But they don't have that quote unquote dog in them

75
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: that they had earlier this year. Maybe that's because their

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: energy is down, because some guys have struggled. But you're right,

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: it's up to Aaron Boone to get that energy going

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: in the right direction, or on Brian Cashman to inject

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: some new life into this team, maybe release some guys,

80
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: maybe motivate some guys. But the leadership, the front office,

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: the management, the coaching staff not getting it done. Obviously,

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: the players are not getting it done. But I'm not

83
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: entirely convinced that we have the players that can get

84
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: it done.

85
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 6: Bob, A great show.

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 7: Frustrating night. Yeah, I think everybody's playing a little bit.

87
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 7: Mostly Cashman, like you said, he's constructed in just an

88
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 7: awful team with no depth. But we got to start

89
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 7: winning some close games. Not referring to last night, but

90
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 7: if we can start winning some close games, we can

91
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 7: still hang in there. We've got to get a new

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 7: closer and a couple of bats.

93
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: What do you think closer is a given? We've been

94
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: saying that all year. Clay Holme's not demand for that job.

95
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Need some swing and miss. But the way I view

96
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: the lineup, you need at least three bats. But I

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: do think that the Yankees can get two of those bats. Internally.

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: I think Jason deming As comes back and he plays

99
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: left field for Dugo, hits the bench, Grisham hits the road.

100
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: You got Stanton coming back as your DH. I don't

101
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: know if they're going to make a change at second base.

102
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: You know, Glaber Torres has hit a couple of home

103
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: runs this week. They might think he's getting hot at

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,119
Speaker 1: just the right time. But maybe he's getting hot because

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: he knows he might get traded and has kind of

106
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: taken some of the pressure off. So I definitely think

107
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: they need at least three bats third base. You know,

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: I talked a little bit about Ryan McMahon last night.

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: A few of you have pointed out that he has

110
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: said that he doesn't want to be traded. The Rockies

111
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: have said they're not going to trade him, but we've

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: seen that before, guys over the years saying well, I

113
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: don't want to be traded, but then at the last

114
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: second they agree to it because they got a chance

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: to go to a winner or to get some kind

116
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: of a financial incentive. Look, this is a business, and

117
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: everybody's got a price. The Rockies have a price in

118
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: prospects to move him, and he's got a price in

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: you know, money. He just had a kid, so that

120
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: was part of this. You know, you give a little

121
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: bit more security to that family by maybe extending him

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: for a year at ten million dollars. Everybody's got a price.

123
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you move from Colorado to New York for ten

124
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: million dollars?

125
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: I would just watched the postgame show from last night,

126
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: and I've cracked the code. I figured it out, Aaron Boone,

127
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: it's right there in front of us, It's right there

128
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,799
Speaker 2: in front of us. Fifty two runners left on base

129
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: in this first six games, fifty two twenty two alone

130
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: in the mess games. How the hell do you leave

131
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: twenty two runners on base? In two games. Right there

132
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: in front of us, he's talking about the freaking batter

133
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: of the box, looking at all the traffic we can't

134
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: get across the plate.

135
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: That's a truly astonishing statistic. It's amazing how inept this

136
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: team has been with runners on base four years, and

137
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: it has to come from the organizational philosophy. Somehow, whatever

138
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: they're teaching is wrong.

139
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 3: Starting to get really tired of vday.

140
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: I mean VP with Mayhew.

141
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 6: You know he's going to make contact and if somebody

142
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 6: had friends bases and guarantee that was played because.

143
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 8: They where else.

144
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 5: But in a positive note, I might do what I'm

145
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: saying from Wells really good at bads.

146
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Seems like he's getting on base.

147
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 6: A lot, a lot of walks, and uh, hopefully Lavery's

148
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 6: trying to getting going. Well.

149
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: You hit the nail on the head with DJ Lemayhew.

150
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: He's still good at making contact, but he's so bad

151
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: at getting the ball in the air that if there's

152
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: somebody on base, it's almost always a double play. It's

153
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: so frustrating, it's so exhausting to watch. And yeah, labor

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: Tor has been swinging the bat a little bit better.

155
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: I still think the Yankees are gonna try and move him.

156
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna take advantage of this little mini

157
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: hot streak and they're gonna move him somewhere. And then

158
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: I also think that Austin Wells, like you said, been

159
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: having better at bats. He's really maturing as a hitter.

160
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: The ops is over seven hundred now and he is

161
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: on the rise. I think he should get the bulk

162
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: of the bats going forward as the Yankees catcher, even

163
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: when Jose Travino is set to return.

164
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: Derek sports rebel, he Josh Alickman calling from the Holy Land.

165
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: It's right there in front of us. It's right there

166
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 6: in front of us. It's right there in front of

167
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 6: Brian Cashman. The man that's got to pay the price

168
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 6: has got to be Aaron Boone. There's just no question

169
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 6: at this point.

170
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Look, you hate to change managers in the middle of

171
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: the season, but it's not unprecedented that a managerial change

172
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: has sparked a team to play way better during the

173
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: middle of the season. I look back at the Marlins

174
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three where they fired their manager,

175
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: they brought in Jack mckeonn and they won the World Series.

176
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just need a different voice in the room.

177
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, it's Nick from Las Vegas. I got to

178
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 6: tell you, I don't know what's going on here.

179
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone. Every

180
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: year it's the same thing.

181
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: Good in April and May and then Junior Hawaii they die.

182
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: Everybody forgets to hit.

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: I forgets.

184
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 6: They don't know how to hit, nobody knows how to pitch.

185
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 6: And you hear the same commentary Boone and then Cashman than.

186
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: How you don't even see I mean, you don't even see.

187
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 6: Them come around. I don't know what's going on.

188
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is because right now

189
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: it looks like, yes, four good players, maybe four, and

190
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: the rest.

191
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Of them need to get traded.

192
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

193
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: Let's try and figure out the core of this team,

194
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: and we'll start at the catching position. I think Wells

195
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: has established himself as a better offensive player than Jose Travino.

196
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: He's heating up, he has better at bats, He's got

197
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: a swing that's built for Yankee Stadium. I think he's

198
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: part of the solution at first base. I've seen some

199
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: promising signs for Ben Rice, but I've also seen him

200
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: go four for his last forty five or whatever it

201
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: is at this point. So he might need some time

202
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: in Triple A to kind of you know, he only

203
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: played in Triple A for a minute. He might need

204
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: some more at bats get used to these higher end

205
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: breaking balls that you're seeing from major league caliber pitchers

206
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: at second base. I think Labor Torres is going to

207
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: be traded. I think he's going to be on the

208
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: way out at the trade deadline if anybody's willing to

209
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: take him on at shortstop. Obviously, Volpi has done a

210
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: nice job defensively. Offensively, he's been a little bit up

211
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: and down. Had some bad at bats last night, but

212
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: I got off to a good start in the second

213
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: half at third base. I mean, you could go with

214
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: Oswaldo Cabrera. I'm not super confident that he's going to

215
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: be anything more than a replacement level player. I know

216
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: that's going to take some people off, but it is

217
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: what it is. And DJ Lemayhew was finished. He needs

218
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: to go. He needs to be DFA. Yanks got to

219
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 1: eat that money around the outfield. You got Verdugo in left.

220
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: I think that he could be traded. I mean, if

221
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: you're not going to resign him and somebody's willing to

222
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: give you something for him. He's obviously not hitting. He's

223
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: a good defensive player. Maybe somebody would give you something

224
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: for him. Grisham, you could take him or leave him.

225
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: I don't really need him on this team. He's good defender,

226
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: good fourth outfielder, but doesn't hit at all. And I

227
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: think you could probably get a minor leaguer who could

228
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: hit a little bit better and not lose much off

229
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: of the defense out of that spot. And then, obviously

230
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: Judge and Soto your two best players. You want to

231
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: keep them around. On the pitching staff. I've heard some

232
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: rumors that Nester Cortes could be traded. That would not

233
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: shock me. Cole has an opt out. I don't think

234
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: he's going to use it at this point because of

235
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: the elbow issue, but if he does, I say, you'll

236
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: let him walk, and I say you use that money

237
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: to reinforce the pitching in other ways. Maybe even signed

238
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns, who is a little bit younger. You got

239
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin pitched better last time out, but he's totally

240
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: hit or miss, and that's a baseball pun But you

241
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: know he's either great or he gives up eight runs

242
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: in the first inning. There's not much in between with

243
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin, and then you got Stroman, who I think

244
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: has thrown the ball well. I think he's good for

245
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 1: the clubhouse. You got Louis Heel who has been very

246
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: impressive and is on the ascent. He could be a

247
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: ACE of the future. And that's pretty much where we

248
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: stand at this point. There's room for improvement at first base,

249
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: se second base, third base, left field, and obviously you

250
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: getting Stanton back at DH, so we're not going to

251
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,839
Speaker 1: go out and trade for a DH. And then you

252
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: probably need two or three bullpen pieces. I mean, legitimately,

253
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: this team needs six guys. Six guys.

254
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 8: Good morning, Derek. This is Hugh from bay Ridge. The

255
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 8: only thing I want from Cashman is his resignation, but

256
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 8: of course that will never happen. Here are the players

257
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 8: on the twenty six man roster who are not championship

258
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 8: material to say the least. Ferguson, Gomez and Kaine Lee

259
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 8: on the mound in Norveas behind the plate, JD. Davis, Lemeyu, Lebor, Torres,

260
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 8: Grisham and Verdugo. You're not going to win a championship

261
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 8: with such a lack of talent.

262
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: I think the cashman's been in that position too long.

263
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: I think the game has passed him by. I really do.

264
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been in that position for more than

265
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: a quarters entry. The game has changed, and sure experience

266
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: has some value, but you got to look at things

267
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: with a fresh set of eyes too.

268
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 9: Hey, hey, frustrated a Yankee fan Allo all the way

269
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 9: from McKinnie, Texas.

270
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: This is JB.

271
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 9: And just wanted to say that from the moment that

272
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 9: it happened, I knew it was going to go downhill.

273
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 9: Not saying that I'm any type of profit, but I

274
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 9: just knew. When they got rid of Girardi that year,

275
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 9: I said, man, this may be the beginning also closed,

276
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 9: but yet so far.

277
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: I want to take a minute and talk about the

278
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Girardi thing because I always like Girardi. I did hear

279
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: that he lost the clubhouse at the end of his tenure,

280
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: and obviously he went to Philadelphia and they didn't win.

281
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: But you know, different people are meant for different jobs.

282
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: I always felt like Girardi was a great fit with

283
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: the Yankees, you know what I mean. He seems like

284
00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: a Yankee. But look, people, people got mad that he

285
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: didn't challenge. That play in the Division series against the

286
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: Indians back in twenty seventeen led to a Lindor Grand Slam.

287
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: The Yankees won that series. He got the team, he

288
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: turned him around. They were down oh two. I can't

289
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: see Aaron Boone ever motivating this team to come back

290
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: from a loss like that. When this team collapses under

291
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone, they just stay in the grave. All right, guys,

292
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I think we had a record number of voicemails last night.

293
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I had to sift through a number of trolling Mets fans.

294
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. I've got like about

295
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: ten more that I would love to get into this program,

296
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: but I've got to get some stuff done today. So

297
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate everybody who called in. No game tonight. I

298
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: will see you tomorrow. Maybe we can get another voicemail

299
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: show going if you want to call back in. We've

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: got about, you know, probably ten more that I haven't

301
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: even gotten to yet, So tune in, like subscribe all

302
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: that good stuff. I'll see you next time.

303
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 7: Bo bo B
