1 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back. Today's Monday, July twenty second. 2 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: It is game four of a four game wrap around 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: set between the Yankees and the Rays. Today, Yankees have 4 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: lost two out of the first three. They're kind of 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: stumbling coming out of the gate in the second half. 6 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: You hope that they would get off to a better 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: start because they had a bad month before taking two 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: out of three from Baltimore. And really, the offense has 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: been miserable. The pitching has been giving up way too 10 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,639 Speaker 1: many home runs. Obviously, they need somebody to step up. 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: They need somebody to step up besides Garrett Cole in 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: the rotation now. Louis Heal has been throwing the ball 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: pretty well. He doesn't start until tomorrow. You got Rodin 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: who's really struggled recently. His confidence is shot. He needs 15 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: a big game. You got to get somebody hitting other 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: than Aaron Judge, other than Juan Soto. Ben Rice is 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: in the leadoff spot. He had a couple of walks yesterday, 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: but he really has stopped hitting. He's only in about 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: two to eleven right now. Anthony Volpi has been swinging 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: the bat a little bit better. Austin Wells has been 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: having some good at bats, but we really need somebody 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: to put together a scalding hot streak, and what we 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: could really use is John Carlos Stanton, who is working 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: his way back. Unfortunately, as we've mentioned many times on 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: this channel, Stanton when he comes back from injuries oftentimes 26 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: slumps for a couple of weeks. It takes him a 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: while to get his rhythm going. He doesn't like to 28 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: play in rehab games, and he basically has just been 29 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: taking BP on the side trying to get ready. And 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's enough preparation, but we need 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: him back in the lineup and we need him hitting. 32 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Yankees are obviously shopping for bats, they're shopping for arms. 33 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: We are now eight days away from the trade deadline, 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: so don't be surprised if something goes down. But if 35 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: you lose three out of four in your opening series 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: in the second half, that kind of makes the alarm 37 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: bells ring even louder after that tough finish to the 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: first half because everybody's rested. So it might just be 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: the case that this is not a good base team 40 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: right now. Whatever you want to say about Cash, mean 41 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: about Boone, about you know, the hitting coach Rouson about 42 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, all the problems we've had in recent years, 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: the one consistent thing is that the Yankees offense has 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: not hit with runners in scoring position nearly well enough 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: to be a championship contender. They have got to fix 46 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: that problem, and they've got to fix it right now. 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: I know your study. 48 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 2: I cannot believe at. 49 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: The ball, but do it, hey, Derek ober To Colin. 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 3: After that miserable loss today to the Rays, you know 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: there's a someone who they could pick up under the radar, 52 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: won't cost him a lot of money. It's Rayne Thomas. 53 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 3: He's on a two point two million on a dollar deal. 54 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: I think it's the last year to deal with Washington. 55 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: He's pasted on the base pass. Even when he's not hitting, 56 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 3: he's stealing bases, he's walking, he's you know, hitting double 57 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 3: plays making up for it. 58 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 4: I mean, this is the kind of. 59 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 5: Guy we need out there instead of Dugo. 60 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: Ridugo's got to go. 61 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: I saw an interesting stat yesterday that alex Verdugo has 62 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: actually been less productive with the Yankees than Joey Gallo was. 63 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: And that's amazing. As we take a look at the 64 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: stat cast numbers, for Lane Thomas. His expected batting average 65 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: is two seventy three. That's not bad. He squares the 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: ball up a lot. His base running value is in 67 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: the ninety ninth percentile. Not a great defensive player, just 68 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: in the seventh percent tile. But he doesn't chase very often, 69 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: he doesn't whiff very often. He's got twenty five stolen bases. 70 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: Could be a nice little player, but again, only hitting 71 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: two forty six. Last year he hit two sixty eight 72 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: with twenty eight home runs. He was twenty twenty. So 73 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: twenty eight home runs, twenty stolen bases, seven eighty three ops. 74 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: The ops is higher than Verdugo right now. He is 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: a right handed hitter. That's not always the best thing. 76 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: The Yankees have done better when they've had good left 77 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: handed hitters. But you got to take what you can 78 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: get right now. So I would not be opposed to 79 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Lane Thomas, depends on what he would cost. Just twenty 80 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: eight years old, still should still be in his prime years. 81 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 5: Hey, this is Mike so Boon gets taught the game again. 82 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 6: When were he going to realize that that practice is 83 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 6: not going to work anymore? 84 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 5: I mean, once or twice is good. Fire up the 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 5: team but give it a rest, Aaron, give it a rest. 86 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: That's a great call. I said the same thing yesterday 87 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: when he first got to the Yankees and he had 88 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: that whole Savages in the box moment. It really fired 89 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: up the squad. But those antics just don't work anymore. 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: He needs to find some different tricks. Maybe you know, 91 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: managing the game better, maybe you know, putting together a 92 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: decent lineup, but getting ejected every five minutes now thirty 93 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: eight times now over his Yankees career, he's been ejected. 94 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. It's not befitting of the Yankees manager. And 95 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I do like the passion, but you can't ar you 96 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: balls and strikes. It doesn't change anything. Yeah, I'm totally 97 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: on board with this. He needs to get it together. 98 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 2: Hey Derek, it's Bob in Ohio. 99 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 7: Great show. We need bats really really bad. Like you said, 100 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 7: we need a second baseman, We need a third baseman 101 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 7: that can hit. We need a closer and possibly a starter. 102 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 7: What do you think we'll do? 103 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 4: Thank a lot. 104 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: Well, knowing Brian Cashman and knowing that he's nearing the 105 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: end of his contract and he's trying to win another 106 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: championship for his legacy. I'd imagine he'll go for it, 107 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 1: but the talent might not be out there, and there's 108 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: a lot of teams that are in it, a lot 109 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: of teams, especially in the National League, that are fighting 110 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: for a wildcard spot. So that's going to raise the 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: prices on these guys that they're trying to trade for. 112 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 1: It's a seller's market, and I'm just not sure the 113 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: Yankees are going to be able to basically backfill all 114 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: of these problems. The time to fix the roof is 115 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 1: when the sun is shining. You gotta work on this 116 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: stuff in the off season and not always rely on 117 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: having to trade half your minor league system at the 118 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: trade deadline to fill things that you could have filled 119 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: for just money during the off season. So what do 120 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: I think they'll do. I think they'll get some stopgap 121 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: type of players. I think they'll bet on John Carlos 122 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: Stanton staying healthy the rest of the year, which I'm 123 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: not sure as possible. I'm sure they'll look forward to 124 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Domingez coming back, but in terms of actually going out 125 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: and getting difference makers, I'm not sure they have the 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: minor league talent available to trade for these guys without 127 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: completely cleaning out their coffers. So I'm not optimistic about 128 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: the trade deadline. I do think they'll make some pickups, 129 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: but I don't see any game changers coming this way. 130 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek is Aaron from Chicago. I try to say 131 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 4: a little optimistic in general. And yeah, at least the 132 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: upside of so many players on our team hitting so 133 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 4: poorly is that Brian Cashon really shouldn't have to do 134 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 4: that much to make this team better. A couple of 135 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 4: league average hitters and that's their real improvement to the offense. 136 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: Take it's a fair point, but like I said, seller's market, 137 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: so you're gonna be overpaying for these league average hitters. 138 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: The time to do this was in the offseason, and 139 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: once again, Brian Cashman has shown that he is horrendous 140 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: at putting together a winning baseball team. Can he get 141 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: us to or near the playoffs most years? Sure, but 142 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: he's got a three hundred million dollar payroll. There's probably 143 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: twelve year olds all over the country who play MLB 144 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: the show who could do the same thing. But he 145 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: has shown that he is not good at building depth. 146 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: A lot of the people that he has drafted have 147 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: not gone through the minor leagues in the way that 148 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: they are, you know, reliable backups. At this point, we've 149 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: had too many issues with bringing in guys who just 150 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: are cast offs from other teams, like JD. Davis, you know, Brian. 151 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: To me is the biggest problem with this organization, and 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: I've contended for years that Cashman needs to go. 153 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, this is Alex Simerlanta. 154 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 5: I don't understand how how Steinber can look at this 155 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 5: team and be happy with what Protestant put on the 156 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 5: field since the Ann Boone era. Lazy players, they give 157 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 5: up too early. I mean, I don't there's enough, not 158 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 5: enough time in his voicemail to go over everything. How 159 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: leads the clearhouse he's not going to do it, but 160 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 5: I just I don't understand how I can look at 161 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 5: the team and say everything's okay, A going there. 162 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: Do we really think that How cares as long as 163 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: he's making money? I mean, do we really think he 164 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: cares that much? Every year this team sets a new 165 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: record in revenue and they're putting less and less of 166 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: a percentage of that revenue back into the team. I 167 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: think as long as How keeps getting richer and his 168 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: partners keep getting richer, and everybody's happy at those meetings. 169 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: I think that nothing will change. This team has gone 170 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: from an organization that values winning and championships and setting 171 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: the example from major League Baseball to just being content 172 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: being the richest team. And that's hard to watch as 173 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: a fan. You know, we're seeing Boston kind of do 174 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 1: the same thing. They don't really invest in their players anymore. 175 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: They don't really bring in any big free agents. It's 176 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: frustrating to watch these owners get satisfied by just bringing 177 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: in and raking in the dollars and not trying to, 178 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, put together a winning product. But Cashman and 179 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: How are buddies and I don't see it changing. And 180 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that How is ultimately too bothered by this. 181 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 9: Good morning, Derek. This is Hugh from bay Ridge, Brooklyn, 182 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 9: and I'm going this morning. What really kicks me off 183 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 9: is the fact that we don't have a third basement 184 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 9: in the minor leagues. I mean, what the hell is 185 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 9: Oppenheimen doing? What is he drafting? Where is the development? 186 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 9: I can't believe we don't have bet at talent. A 187 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 9: third in the mind is Inde Mayeu or Roza Wal 188 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 9: though it's beyond me thank you. 189 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: Again. It goes back to cash Man, it goes back 190 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: to the player development, it goes back to the drafting, 191 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: and they brought in John Birdie. They obviously realized they 192 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: had a deficiency at third base, so they brought in 193 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: a thirty four year old contact hitter from the Marlins. 194 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: But as is the case with a lot of guys 195 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: in their mid thirties, his body has betrayed him. He's 196 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: been injured all season long, and I personally am not 197 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: counting on him coming back. And now you're desperate for 198 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: a bat at third base, and if you want to 199 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: get somebody, it's going to cost you a premium. 200 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 6: I just heard from another podcaster that Vos cannot be 201 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 6: called up for X amount of days because they already 202 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 6: called him month once. The only way they could call 203 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 6: him up now is if there's an entry, And to me, 204 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 6: that goes on boone. Stevoss should have been in there 205 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 6: playing and that way we could have found out what 206 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 6: he's going to do. 207 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: You are correct, sir, and so is whoever this podcaster 208 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: is that once a player gets sent down, they have 209 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: to be down in the minor leagues for ten days. 210 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: But if there's an injury, they can be called back up. 211 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, he should have played last weekend. He should 212 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: have gotten an opportunity. It's just mismanagement to call up 213 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: a young kid and then force him to sit the bench. 214 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: Not only does that hurt their confidence, hurts their development. 215 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: And you're right, we wanted to see what this kid 216 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: has as we approach the trade deadline. At the very 217 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: least find out if you need to go out and 218 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: get a second basement or another infield, or a third baseman, 219 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: or if you can rely on this kid. He's got 220 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: a great on base percentage in the minor leagues. He's 221 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: a left handed hitter who will play well at Yankee Stadium. 222 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: He lifts the ball in the air. That's going to 223 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: lead to some power. But Yankees once again mismanaging things. 224 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 8: Derek Sports Rabbi Josh Halickman calling from the Holy Landlibra 225 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 8: Torres has got to go. The guys we ought to 226 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 8: go out the door finished goodbye, so long farewell. That's 227 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 8: number one. PJ out the door, Bye bye, so long, farewell. 228 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 8: Aaron Boon, he's got to go because he doesn't have 229 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 8: a clue how to get these players motivated enough. So 230 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 8: it's bye bye, so long, farewell to him and cash Man. 231 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 8: Could he open up his eyes a little bit and 232 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 8: see what he needs to get and also bring in 233 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 8: a closer? Please please, can we have a closer? Please? Please? Please, 234 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 8: pretty please love the show. 235 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: Rabbi your word to God's ears. 236 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: Man not looking good. Can't wait to see what additions 237 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: this team brings in because presently constructed, this team doesn't 238 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 2: that look like they're going to do anything whatsoever in 239 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: the playoffs. Looks like you could see another early exit unfortunately, 240 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: and they need some improvement in. 241 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: Quick and early exit implies they'll actually make the playoffs. 242 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: But the way they've been playing over the last month 243 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: and a half, really it's no short thing that they're 244 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: gonna even be in the postseason. Now, yeah, that gives 245 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: me an extra month off, but I'd much rather be 246 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: watching baseball. 247 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: Come on. 248 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: And yeah, this ultimately comes down to the roster construction, 249 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: It comes down to the management, and it comes down 250 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: to players that are just not motivated, that are not 251 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: baseball players. You know, we thought that Verdugo, the way 252 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: he played early on, was a gamer, but it's like 253 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: he's totally giving up and going through the motions and 254 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: he's trying to hit home runs every time. Get back 255 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: to the game that you know created so much success 256 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: in the first half. I don't understand why these guys 257 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: get away from things that are making them successful. 258 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 8: It's just infuriating. 259 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 10: Hey, Derek, to save situation. I was watching the game 260 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 10: yesterday and things aren't looking too good. We've seen the 261 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 10: same exact things that have made the Yankees drop the 262 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 10: past two to three, well, let's say several years now. 263 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 10: So I'm of the camp right now that you have 264 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 10: to change a lot of the culture of the clubhouse, and. 265 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 4: That's going to have to start with some. 266 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 8: Impact position players. 267 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 3: And I believe that we should trade the farm. 268 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: You're not the only one saying that. The problem with 269 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: trading the farm is that if it doesn't work out 270 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: and you don't want a chip next year, you're in 271 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: an even worse spot. Again, I keep going back to this, 272 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: it's cashman, it's the organization itself that is just mismanaging 273 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: everything they could possibly mismanage. And now they've put themselves 274 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard place, and they're either 275 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: going to have to pay a ton to get somebody 276 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: who's just an average player, or they're going to basically 277 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: have to stick with what they have, which we know 278 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: will not get it done. So I don't blame the 279 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: Yankees fans who are ticked off this morning. Let's get 280 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: to the noster Derek prediction for today's prediction for two 281 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: plus home runs a lo out for Carlos Rodan. I 282 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: know we typically keep these positive, but I have zero 283 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: faith in Carlos Rodan. I don't think that he is 284 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: mentally equipped to pitch for the Yankees, and the way 285 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 1: the Rays are swinging the bats lately, it's gonna be 286 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: a long day for mister Rodon. I would love to 287 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: be wrong. I would love for this prediction to not manifest, 288 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: but like I said, it's gonna happen. 289 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: Say yup. 290 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe.
