1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Wanted to cook. It's all, how's it going? Everybody? Welcome back.

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: So we just found out from Aaron Boone that Cam

3
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: Schlittler has by sep pain, not what you want. You

4
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: can't make it up with this team. The amount of

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: injuries that this team has is insanity. They said he

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: went for an MRI, it came back clean, and I

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to open up with reasons for optimism, So

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's one that the MRI came back clean.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 1: You know, maybe it's just a case of you know,

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: overdoing it a little bit in his major league debut,

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: wanting to light up the radar gun a little bit.

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: But Cam Schlittler was an option to pitch tonight Instead,

13
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna go with a bullpen game right

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: here out of the gate. Before we get to our

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: reasons for optimism, reasons for pessimism and the Yankees urgency,

16
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about tonight's lineup. Shall we? First?

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Line up? Coming out of the Ooops, that's the wrong

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: screen here. Let me just figure out what the hell

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: just happened. Okay, there we go. All right, So we

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: got Trent Grisham leading off, and we got a call

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: from Willie who said he would rather see Jason Dominguez

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: lead off. I agree with you. I think Dimingez is

23
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: the future leadoff hitter for this team. He's had some

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: success with it early on. We got Cody Bellinger batting second.

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: He's playing first base tonight. Interesting that Paul Goldschmidt gets

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: the night off right out of the gate, just getting

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: an extra day. Aaron Judge, fresh off the All Star Game,

28
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: didn't have to leave Atlanta. I've got him hitting two

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: home runs in this series. He is batting third tonight.

30
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm, he of the home run derby, and he

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: didn't do particularly great, and I'm okay with that because

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: I didn't want him taking a million swings for the

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: fences and wearing himself out or re injuring that oblique

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: or whatever he could have done. But he's in the

35
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: cleanup spot tonight playing second base. Jason Dominguez batting fifth,

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: he is in left field tonight. I think he's gonna

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: come out of the gate strong. I'm always bullish on Domingez.

38
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm not always right, but I'm always bullish on Domingez.

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: And then we got Ben Rice at your DH spot tonight.

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Interesting that John Carlos Stanton is not in the lineup tonight,

41
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: getting an extra day off. You know, you always want

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: to cool him off as much as possible when he's

43
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: starting to heat up. I think that's not surprising. And

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: we got Volpi, who for some reason continues to hit

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: higher than ninth. He is batting I believe two fifteen

46
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: right now, he's batting seventh today in the shortstop spot.

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: We got Austin Wells batting eighth in the catcher spot,

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: and then or but Vivas gets to start tonight at

49
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: third base. So very interesting lineup here. Let's talk a

50
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: little bit about some optimism and some pestimism here. I

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: hope everybody enjoyed the break, but we got baseball starting

52
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: up again in about ninety minutes, and as we kick

53
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: off the second half, just kind of wanted to do

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of vibe check, you know, reasons to

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: be optimistic, reasons why it's okay to be pessimistic, and

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: then why I think the Yankee should be urgent over

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the next several weeks. So I get that it's easy

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: to be discouraged. This first half had its fair amount

59
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: of what the hell was that moments. But if you're

60
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: a Yankees fan that's looking for a reason to believe, real,

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: actual baseball reasons to be optimistic about the second half,

62
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: there is a list and it is not fluff. We've

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of good stuff. So one, the trade

64
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: deadline is within sight. We're a couple of weeks out,

65
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: and I can tell you this much, Brian Cashman is

66
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: not going to sit out the trade deadline this year.

67
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: There will be moves made because the Yankees are within

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: striking distance and they have some clear holes to fill.

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: They're not going to be crazy, but I do believe

70
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: they'll be aggressive. And I think that they're already sniffing

71
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: around for bullpen arms, for rotation pieces, and now the

72
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: Cam Schlitzler's hurt. You know who knows what that's going

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: to turn out to be. And we know that they're

74
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: looking for a third baseman. Wouldn't shock me if they

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: were looking for a shortstop too. But if they can

76
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: bring in just a couple of real good contributors, a

77
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: late inning reliever, you know, maybe like an Emmanuel class

78
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: A or something like that, and a professional hitter with

79
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: a clue in high leverage spots, maybe a third baseman.

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: This team looks a lot different, so help is definitely

81
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: on the way. Luis Heel also on the way, remember him,

82
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year, one hundred mile an hour fastball, fearless.

83
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: He is on the rehab trail and he will be

84
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 1: back soon. And if he comes back, and he is

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: the guy from the first part of last season, right,

86
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: the guy who started off I believe ten and one,

87
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: that changes this Yankees' rotation significantly, significantly because then you

88
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: got Freed Rodn and Heel a really solid one two

89
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: three punch in any playoff series, right, and then you

90
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: might add a veteran like Meryl Kelly or Zach Gallen

91
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: as well. It's looking less and less like Freddy Peralta

92
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: is gonna get moved to the Yankees, But Merril Kelly,

93
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Zach Gallen two pretty good options. Also, Carlos Rodin quietly

94
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: having one of his best seasons. Nobody's really talking about

95
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: this man outside of the Yankees universe, but for the

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: first time it says we signed him. He is looking

97
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: like the guy that we paid for. He's pitching like

98
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: an ace, and if not an ace, at least a

99
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 1: very high level two he has been phenomenal. Cody Bellinger

100
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: is healthy and having a twenty twenty three year with

101
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: the Cubs again where he hit three oh seveny one

102
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: comeback play of the year. He's not quite at the

103
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: MVP level, but he's reminding you with his athleticism, with

104
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: his play on defense why he was an MVP. The

105
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: guy's back. He's just flat out back. John Carlos stan

106
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: got the night off today, but you know, right before

107
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: they break he was starting to heat up. He was

108
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: hitting the ball better to right field. He had a

109
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: couple of big home runs in comebacks. You know, he's

110
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: one of these guys who's very dangerous. He can take

111
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: a big chunk out of a lead by the opposition,

112
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: or you know, blow open a lead, or as we

113
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: saw in the playoffs, break a tie, break a close

114
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 1: game open. He's a monster. And as the weather gets

115
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: hotter and the ball starts to travel more and pitcher's

116
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: arms start to wear down, I would not want to

117
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: be one of those guys who's facing a fresh John

118
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, he might put one in the Hudson. There's

119
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: been some talk about David Robertson possibly coming back to

120
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Now you want to talk about trust, He

121
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: is a guy that I trust in the postseason. Even

122
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: though he hasn't pitched all year, that just means he's

123
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: going to be more fresh. He is a professional. He

124
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: still had a hammer for a curveball. I'll take him

125
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: in a big spot over most of the guys that

126
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: we got right now. Do Minge is getting better and

127
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: better every time he steps on the field. He started

128
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: getting some more reps at the leadoff spot, which I

129
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: think is gonna be his ultimate destination. The power has

130
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: not come around yet, but he's shown glimpses. Max Freed

131
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be a top three side young finalist as

132
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: long as the health stays, you know, relatively good. The

133
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: blister could be annoying, but I like that they're giving

134
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: him a few extra days. He's gonna pitch against Toronto. Obviously.

135
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: The Yankees face Atlanta to open things up, and they're

136
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna have the bullpen game tonight. They're gonna have Warren

137
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,119
Speaker 1: tomorrow and then Stroman on Sunday, but then they're saving

138
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: their big three for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. You're gonna see

139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: Max Freed, You're gonna see Carlos Rodin and then we'll

140
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: see if it's Cam Schlitzler in the final game, we'll see,

141
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they maybe they're bringing in somebody else

142
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: at that point. But day to day for Camp Slit,

143
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: they're not an il trip yet and they have a

144
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: day off and then they're home to face the Phillies

145
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and raise. So yeah, there is frustration for sure over

146
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: some of the things that happened in the first half.

147
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Another bad slump, But don't confuse that with hopelessness. This

148
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: team can definitely win. No, they can win. They have

149
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: a path forward, but they got to have an aggressive deadline.

150
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: There is a boost to the rotation coming. Some bats

151
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: are heating up, and the second half is usually about

152
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: momentum and augmenting the roster with the right moves. The

153
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: Yankees can do both of these things. Right. We're gonna

154
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: have Terrence camon tonight to talk about optimism and pessimism

155
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit here after Game one when we do

156
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: State of the Yankees, So tune in for that. All right, So,

157
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: now let's talk about the reasons why we're pessimistic. And

158
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: I still believe all the reasons that I just outlined

159
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: for optimism, but this is pinstride territory, and we don't

160
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: do blind optimism here. We're gonna call it how it is. Okay,

161
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: So let's start with the obvious. The bullpen has been crap.

162
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: It has not been good at all every game. I'm

163
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: wondering who's gonna cough it up tonight. Too many walks.

164
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: Jonathan Lewisega has been throwing batting practice since he's come back.

165
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Fernando Cruz injured, has not been able to stay healthy

166
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: this year, despite being really good when he is available.

167
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver has not been the same guy since his injury.

168
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: And Devin Williams, although he's been better lately, has not

169
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: had a good year and I'm still not sure about

170
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: him in a big spot in the postseason. The Yankees

171
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: need a big bullpen arm. We talked a little bit

172
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: about Johann Duran last night. Obviously, Emmanuel Class's name is

173
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: starting to get floated out there. Neither one of those

174
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: guys will be cheap. David Robertson, you pull him in maybe,

175
00:09:54,400 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: but you got Clark Schmidt out for the year. You

176
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: got Luise Heel coming back, but he's a question mark

177
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: until he proves he's healthy. You got free dealing with blisters.

178
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: Cole is gone. If one more guy goes down, the

179
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: rotation might just be too thin. So you win with

180
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: horses in the postseason. We're short on healthy ones right now.

181
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: And listen, even when the pitching you know does come back,

182
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: it's still going to need to be supported by the offense.

183
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: And right now, the offense with runners in scoring position

184
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: has been brutal, not unlucky, brutal, not enough contact skills,

185
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: too many dudes swinging likes home run derby. They'll score

186
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: nine or ten runs when you don't really need it,

187
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: but when it's two to two, the bats disappear. So

188
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: they need to learn how to score an extra innings.

189
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: They need to learn how to score sit situationally. They

190
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: can't bunt. It's incredible nobody on this team can bunt.

191
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: And these are not things that you can fix internally.

192
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 1: Right Waiting on a spark plug from Scranton probably not

193
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's an organizational thing. They're gonna need to

194
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: bring in people who know how to do these things.

195
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: And the trademarket is thin. Cashman's already basically warned of

196
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: low inventory, and we've got two teams in our division

197
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: who are trying to win the division along with us,

198
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays and the Red Sox, and I'd imagine

199
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: both of those teams are gonna be aggressive. Right Everybody

200
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: wants pitching, there's not enough to go around. Everybody wants

201
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: another bat, There's not enough to go around. So the

202
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: Yankees are gonna have to pay through the teeth. And

203
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: let's talk about Anthony Volpie. I wanted it to work.

204
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: I know a lot of you wanted it to work.

205
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: It has not worked so far. He's not adjusting right now.

206
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: He looks lost. We did a whole show about it

207
00:11:53,840 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: last night. And if he doesn't turn it around. If

208
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: if he doesn't turn it around, we're gonna need to

209
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: look at getting a shortstop too. So anyway, we are

210
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks short of the trade deadline,

211
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: so stick around. We'll figure this out. The Yankees do

212
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: need a sense of urgency. Here's the thing. Hal Steinbrenner

213
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: has money, okay, but he doesn't always want to spend

214
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: it right. And this team is basically an injury or

215
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: two away from the season being in real trouble. If

216
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Judge gets hurt, if Freed gets hurt, the Yankees are

217
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: in real trouble. So the Yankees have got to reinforce

218
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: this roster now now. And some of the bad news

219
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: is that Aaron Boone is still the manager. I mean,

220
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone is a guy who does not have an

221
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: ounce of urgency in his body. That's to me, his

222
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: biggest week point. They deal with struggling players for way

223
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: too long before acting on it. They wait out the

224
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: trademarket too long and miss out on guys that they

225
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: could have gotten. They need to act with urgency now,

226
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: not in a month, not let's see how things play

227
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: out now. Toronto and Boston are right there, right there,

228
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: and frankly, they're gonna be aggressive. And I feel like

229
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: a lot of times this organization feels like just showing

230
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: up in the Pinstripes is enough to get to the postseason.

231
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: And it's not. The dog days are here. This is

232
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: a stretch that's gonna define the season. Teams are going

233
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: to have to grind it out, and the Yankees are

234
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to find a way to break through. So

235
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: right now, the Yankees look like a team that they

236
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: have a shot. But they got to push the right

237
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: buttons and they got to push them quickly. I don't

238
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: care about eleven to two blowouts. I want to see

239
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: how you do in those tight two to two games

240
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: late in the game, so I don't want them to

241
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: vanish when things get tight. So let's see if they

242
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: can dig deeper in the second half and not just

243
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: sit around waiting for the four hundred and seventy foot

271
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,160

272
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: final thoughts here as we kick off the second half.

273
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Samantheite says, remember that the beginning of the year. Uh,

274
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: she said she was done with the Vulpe experiment last year,

275
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: and you got mad. Uh last year was too soon

276
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: to be done with the Volpe experiment. But I think

277
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: We've waited adequate amount of time. Now uh to uh

278
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: to say that patience has run out. Patience has expired,

279
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: and it's time to you know, get some production, get

280
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: some reward, you know, get our patients rewarded a little bit.

281
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: And look, not every player is gonna develop into a stud, right,

282
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean there are there are guys who busts, and

283
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: we might just be looking at a situation where we

284
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: developed a guy that we had high hopes for but

285
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: turned out to be a bust. Uh, I got a run.

286
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: I'll catch you guys soon after the game. State of Yanks.
