Yanks Need Consistency At Top To Have One Leg Up over the AL EAST 7-6-25 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. You know, I don't know
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: often call an emergency session to the One Leg Up Network,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: but this this is a sports emergency session. This is
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a Yankee fandom emergency session. Because how the hell are
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the Yanks gonna expect to win when they are rotating
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: leadoff hitters like it's going at it, like it's not
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: going out of style. I mean they literally put up
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a different leadof hitter every day this weekend. Do you
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: know why the Yankees of the nineties were so successful.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: They had a consistent leadoff hitter.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It was Derek Jeter.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, and I'm wearing his gold jersey today because I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: believe the Yanks have a golden standard and to live
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: up to that gold standard, especially against the Mets. But
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they had a leadoff hitter every game every night for years,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a consistent one. Now analytics says, oh, start Goldsmith today,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: beat Jason lead off the other night, bat Trent. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: do think Josson Domingez is the most valuable candidate for
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: a leadoff. There is no about the guy hit a
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: homer to lead off the gab bub Friday night. Of course,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Judge fall up with the back to back but it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: starts at the top. There is no consistent hitter, which
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is why the Yanks don't have one leg up right now.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, coming off an awful sweep against Toronto. You
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: get energized with Jason on Friday Night with the leadoff Homer,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: then the judge Homer back to back the rest of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: all part. But you need that table setter if you will,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: or home run hitter too. Jason can do both, Trent
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: can do both in a way Goldsmith can do both,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: although I like Trent or jisong at the top more
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: than anybody else. My dad said this about Aaron Boone
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: back when the Yanks are struck against the Astros and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the Alcs, that he keep arranging the chair, rearranging the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: chairs like the Titanic of a sinking ship. They're rearranging
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the chairs in July, which does not bode well for October.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: They literally are rearranging the chairs every night to try
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and make something work that's not working. So I suggest
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: that they're gonna go with analytics. Analytics do one thing,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: look at the status of who's been most consistent at
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the leadoff spot and keep them there. Who is produced
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in the leadoff spot and keep them there. Then you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can see some consistency. But the idea that a third
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: lineup today has a different leadoff hitter, it exemplifies everything
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: wrong right now. You could say the pitching also is inconsistent. However, however,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you want us set the tone, and you're gonna have
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a different lead off hitter to try and set the tone.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That's not the answer. The answer to me is, in
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: my view, Josando Minge is a leadoff and this is
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: your daily reminder of that. And then you have Trent
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: batting second. I don't know if I agree with that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: movie either today. But you want this team to come
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in wanting to win, but it just looks like they're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: throwing up a lineup together that that's not cohesive. Gold Smith, Grishram, Judge,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Stanton Bellinger, Volpi LeMay you now batting seventh, Austin eighth,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Parizza ninth. I mean it's not the best lineup and
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: something has to change. I don't know if it's an
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: analytics department change or if it's just going back to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: baseball basics, and that baseball basics to me, is a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: consistent leadoff here that will be the start of something
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: coming back yankster. What three games out of first place?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They were in seven games ahead of the Blue Jays and.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Rays nearly a month ago. And the only answer is, well,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: we got some bumps in the road. Come on, Aaron
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: both Aaron's really you should be more frustrated, more vociferous,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: more pissed off at what's going on. When a Judge
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: was left on the on deck circle the other night,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: he did not look happy one bit. But then he
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: goes to the media and Judge doesn't really sound as
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: unhappy as he looks. But as the captain, he's got
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: a round of the troops in the clubhouse and the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: manager Boone maybe he doesn't listen to analytics all the time.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe he goes with his gut. Now has got mind
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: pulm to put in Nester to face Freddy Freeman. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: you know it's a different season now the Inks, where
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: y'all got to turn the page from last year's disastrous
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: World Series and let Aaron Boone go with his gut.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: It's a travesty because this is a manager that led
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the Inks to three years of one hundred plus wins
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in a row. What the f happened? Where did they
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: handcuff him that he can't do his job to get
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: those one hundred wins again. And I think if the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Yanks are making moves to the deadline, there's gonna be
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a lot of calls. If they don't win today, there's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of calls for firing. Look, it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: was George Summoner's birthday. He would have been ninety five
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: on Friday, which blows my mind. He's been gone fifteen
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: years as of next Sunday. But the obvious choice here
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on this emergency session is to have a consistent leadoff
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hitter and the rest will work out. That is how
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And it just dawn on me today when I saw
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: another leadoff guy up there. How the Inks were able
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to be so successful in the nineties They had consistency
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in the leadoff spot to set the tone. And that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is the metaphor for this whole team. Right now. No
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: one is setting the tone. No one's being vocal, and
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: it's only showing in the play. It's showing in the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: destruction in the structure of this team. So if the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Eggs want to set the tone again, have one leg
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: up in the Al East. It's got to start with
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the lineup being consistently let off by the same guy
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: every night. And we know this team does not always
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: ride the hot hand. I remember last year, a couple
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: of years ago, Cabrera was on fire, then they rest
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: him the night after Judge is on fire, they rest him.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Volpi at times gets on fire, they rest him night
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the next day. They need to ride the hot bat.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That will also help set the tone and not sit
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the guys after a few days because analytics said so.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So if there's a lot of soul searching and they
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to put AI into this with the analytics, maybe
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: some analytical searching also, so should be happening right now.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm not the number crunching guy, but at the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: leadoff spot this year in twenty twenty five, Bellinger has
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: hit leadoff in one game this year, one for four.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Grisham who's been there consistently in thirty six games and
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: nunder forty one at bats twenty eight hits. That's an
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: average of two hundred. Austin Wells won twenty five. Ben
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Reiser's lad off to twenty eight, but you know it's
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: been the hottest laidoff guy for the Yanks. It is
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: one game, it leadoff okay, with a five hundred Goldman's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: two ninety eight.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: The Minga is here's my point right here. Thanks to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: stat news dot Com, Dominga is four fifty five average
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: in his three games at leadoff and eleven at bats.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Three for eleven, well actually five for eleven, three runs scored.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: The Minga is a leadoff four fifty five. Analytics department,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: get on that stat and let's make him the official
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: leadoff guy to set the tone. And I think if
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you set the tone on the field, off the field,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: things will become cohesive as well. Again, stats don't lie,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna drop this stat news dot com for
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: your information to find out so you can look it
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: for yourself. How the Yankees have fared in the leadoff
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: spot four fifty five mm hm hm, that's the guy
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I want in the leadoff spot.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And don't you no
