  Speaker 1: All right, and welcome to another slim TV Sunday. It

  Speaker 1: my friends, we have done it here. I won le
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a Balx thanks to you, thanks to my fiance Gaby

  Speaker 1: and so many friends along the way have supported me.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And thanks to my returning guest who was very first
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: episode of me the eve of Super Bowl Sunday in
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, Sean Hughes, You're back with me fifty thousand
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: downloads later. I want to reconnect and share this moment
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: with you, man, and I hope all is well been
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: since then. But of course, what do we do. We
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: talk sports, So let's dive right into it. The Giants today.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't know if they'd win or not
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: because the the Commanders seemed like one of the best
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: teams in the league. But were you disappointed? How does want?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Were you in today's loss?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: It's been a year after the year year the same,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: It's been the same old story. It just you know,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: when I noticed the day it is great, you know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: when people could I mean, it's shredded to this and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: it's true, but have not been the same since calf
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: One that it's been and I know it's been in
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: a long time, but.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: We need we need someone who knows what the heck
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: they're doing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The Giants are not the Giants anymore.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be the same old story. You don't think
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: you go up.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, man, we needed something has to be done,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: you know, And I know we're only in week one,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: but you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: Know it's gonna be It's sadly gonna be the same old.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Story, you know, and you know it's worse. Is I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: could I could handle a struggling Giants with Daniel Jones
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: because all of a sudden, now he's a starter and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a and a and a you know, almost MVP type
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of game for the Colts winning their first opening Day
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: since twenty thirty. I mean, that's unbelievable. But anyway, uh,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: I'm disappointed because I thought with a stacked you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: QB room with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, Jackson Dart
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and at the time Tommy DeVito. Out of those four guys,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you'd expect something, especially out of the veterans, But Russell
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just looked overpowered by the commanders. Is it Washington, you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: defense or is this an aging Russell Now that we're seeing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to watch what having what the Giants
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: is going on.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: If if visit is.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: What the the it's going to be.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, well yeah, yeah, unfortunately, you know, well, Sean,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I have to say this. I thought going into the year,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Dabele was given the keys and given the tools to
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: win with who he has. I mean, neighbors always a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: bit injured. But he looked fine today, but neighbors dealing
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: with that injury. So from from training camp, you have, uh,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: you got this amazing draft pick in Abdul Carter, You've
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: got dark, You've given tools to Dabel and I don't
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I think this year, if he can't do anything this year,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: he might be gone. Come next to September, come next
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you know, come February.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You know, like I said, thing, I mean, we want
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to judge. We've gone through this guy.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: We want through GM at the GM you know, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you know it just hadn't missed the Giants, had not
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: been the Gyant a year.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And then that's just what we said.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That disappointing, you know, I mean, like they said, there's
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: don't work, there's don't work for.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Out of the times have been last several years.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And you know Gettleman. The last straw with Gettleman was
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that Jones was released. I mean that is how that's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the mark of the Gettleman legacy is how badly then
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you seem to have messed up to Daniel Jones. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: know he was good for one year, but that was it.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you and I think so, I think I
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: think we're gonna get fired.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I think I know that's why he finally added just behind,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: because you know, he get fired. Same all throwing. We've
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: gone through gm D. Something is something with the team
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: has to be has to be done.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Now you kind of questioned what I mean, Yeah, I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: not listen, I'm not asking them to bring the town
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: call from back.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: The men's is.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Late eight, you know, seven eighty. He's not gonna want
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to coach again. Bring bring someone, do someone call from White,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: bring someone back?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Who's man? Know what the heck that doing the locker room?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh Kennedy. You know, basically if he's heading the butt,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: that what's gonna need to happen? And the one the
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: weak ones like this, maybe what the rest of the
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: speed is gonna be.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Oh and look I know it's the Commanders, but next
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: week's having the Chargers, and they looked good against the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Chiefs on Friday night in Brazil. That hardball Herbert connection
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: is for real. And I'd love to see a Burns
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: dexter Lawrence Abdul Carter uh caveon Thibodeaux line stop them.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, because then if they can't stop Herbert,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you offense won't generate anything. We could be looking at
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: him too. And I am trying to stay adoptimistic as possible,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but after today, my optimism is dampened. I wouldn't say
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: little bit. I would say quite a bit.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: We need to do better, that's all.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. If we're not doing if we're
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: not doing any better than what you know, and something's
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be done. You know, Marin Tish had to figure
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: out what the.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Hell is going on? Yah, both of them. Man.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Any times. You know, like I said, I think giants
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: can't have had it we I mean, yeah, we're told
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: that when when we win, to someone to sit back
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and enjoy it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But you know, Giant fans are hungry for another. We've
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: been We've been hungry for people.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Quite some time, and the fact that you know, danger
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: had not gone the way they have, I'm not going,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: well they could and dunk part k all.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, you know one of the other passions you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have for sure is about the Yanks, and we're gonna
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: talk about them too, because finally there's a divisional hope
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: around the corner. They took two out of three against
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jayden team that look, I know they the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yanks went down seven games against the Blue Jays, But Sean,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I have to say, for the first time since that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: part of June, I say they have divisional hopes? Were
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you hopeful after this weekend.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: If we keep going the way Monald keeps will be
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: if we keep winning in a chance, it's always a chance.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: But these guys have come back, you know always.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Well, with that being said, a.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Lot of there's a lot of angry Yankee bits.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Up there, you know, and I've been I've been a
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: silent supporter of Aaron Bone, but you haven't wonder it's
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: not Bone.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, let me ask you this.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You know, do you think if I've won the analytics
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: they have more hope than common.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Right, the analytics department, is it drives me nuts. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: wish Boone would manage with this guy. Look, John, you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: may disagree with me, there's a reason why he won
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: one hundred games for the first three seasons as Yankee manager.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: He managed with his gut. He didn't manage of analytics,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: so to speak. I don't know where the change went.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: But if you can only keep managing with the gut,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he has a winning formula. I know that Bennar and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Deval and Williams and Weaver have been struggling at times,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but if you use them consistently, consistently, they can pull
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: and provide some support work in the in the back
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: end of that game.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this if and I'm saying this
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: for argument sake, Okay, okay, and what ship I'm trying
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: to get the guy's last name Colors?
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Butler had econ.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Complete you know what I mean? A passed his first
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: had he paid no hitter in a perfect game?
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Well that was Clark Smith you're thinking of, because remember he.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Switzler was the first time out. He was like he
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: was crooling.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Oh I think he had six per beginnings if I'm
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: not mistaken something like that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Smittler was cruding through most of the most of through
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: most of the game, and then he had like that
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: one bad pitch and it's like, you know, it's like
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: okay because boon thinking.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I remember it was one of the games where.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: It might have been he uh.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Might have been Heal who was going into the.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Eighth and went like a perfect game or whatever.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: And bone poll of them and you kind of wonder,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: what the heck Thick, Yeah, I a president. You know
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you want to pull the guy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: But but if you if you have yah, if you
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: pitch that still has gas in the tank, no might
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: not go. You know what I mean?
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: He stay with your guy, all right? And I saw
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: this early on with Clark Schmidt. Remember he took that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: no hair into like the eighth into this eighth inning,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: and they took him out after seven. And I wish
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: he was out there for the eighth inning, I really do,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: because he was.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: He was he was cruising, you know what to finding
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: about Uh?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I thought he got traded.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, Unfortunately Schmid has undergone Tommy John surgery. And
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: I wondered if not letting him fully let throw the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: rest of that game to its natural end whatever it
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: was going to be. Through them affle of it. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just speculating here, But anyway, to your point, John,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the pitch counts are are a big deal, and it
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: does feel like if they can't get through the fifth
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: or sixth, we're worried every game, aren't we probably probably?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Like I said, you know.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: We need to stop. We need to go by cut
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: and not by analytics. Let's said they ended that we
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: go by analytics and it go from bad to Warrens.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, with that one correct on that it's it's like
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: they need to I don't want to say throw away
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the analytics department, but they need to. They need to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: just focus on the cut and manage that way. But
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm liking to see now is I like, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like seeing a guy like Austin Wells leaving the league
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: in sacrifice flies. I mean, they need to get some
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: runs besides the home run ball.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I think that. I think the Yankees,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: and you know me, I'm die hard and bray.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: By the Yankees. But let's get honest.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: If it's too home.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Run happy over the last several years and that.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Kind they don't play enough they don't play enough small ball,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: and that that's what really has done.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: You know, I want to say more harm than good,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: you know, Oh.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no without adapt So let me ask you this.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: We're now heading into this next stress stretch of games
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: where we're gonna face the Tigers. We've already we've already
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: took the series from Houston, We've already took the series
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: from the Blue Jays. This twelve game stretch is starting
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: out well. Cannot continue into Detroit? I think it can.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I think we get.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Gals if we if we stand in the way, well that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: We are, I think we Okay. If not, you know,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: heads might roll, but I might be wrong.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: You know, Nope, You're not wrong. And you know what's
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: going to be interesting is I believe they're going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: face Tarik school Ball either WEDNESDA or Thursday, because that'll
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: be his fifth day out. And I want to say
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: how they handle school ball if they do face them
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the series. I really want to see how that matchup goes.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be It'll be interesting.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this kind say, being twenty twenty, okay, you.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Know, and.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: My opinion, and because I've.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Been saying it for for months on end. I ain't
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: even month years on end at the ages. Let's say,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: for arguments, they don't make the playoffs.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, all right, they don't make the playoffs.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: We finally pulled a trigger on Cashman, the.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Same thing Man, and it's like you kind of had
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to wonder we haven't won fifteen years, you know, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: then it goes straight to hell, you know, wonder when
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: when is it.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Gonna be enhing?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Not? You're you're right. Look, I do think though Cashman
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: did load up with the deadline. I think he did
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: have a better deadline. I even think you go back
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: to last year, Jazz Chisholm was a good acquisition at
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the deadline and he's become a big part of the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yankees' role. And I know it was, oh, are you
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you're defending Cashman. Well, I'm just stating facts. He has
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: come away from the last two deadlines successfully. But I'll
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: tell you why people are worried about Cashman. Today's a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: perfect example. You know what they honored today at Yankee Stadium.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: They honored Tzi Sabathia and his induction to the Hall
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of Fame today at Yankee Stadium, And you know, why
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing that up, Sean. I'm bringing that up because
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and nine, at two thousand and eight,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: after the new stadium, Old Same was closed, they didn't
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: make the postseason. It was Gerardi's first year. Cashman brought
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: along two guys that revitalized that Yankee tea Sees Sabathia
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and Mark Tischrif And ever since then and ever since,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: other moments were bringing an a rod. They're waiting, Yankee
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: fans are waiting for that next big acquisition. Well, it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: may never come. You have to be proud of the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: acquisitions that they have. Now, Bendor is becoming your closure.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: We don't have to worry about Devin Williams completely blowing
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: your game because now at least if he he does,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: it's in the eighth inning and not at the end
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: of the game. I mean, I don't know. I'm trying
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to look at the bright side of that hole Devin
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Williams situation. But the point is he's brought in reinforcements,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: which he needed to do. But if they don't make it,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I think the eyes turned to Boone and what they
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: do at that level. I know he signed it to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: your extension, but again, it's going to be. I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: if they make the postseason, he's safe. I think they
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: not only make the postseason and win a few rounds,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: he's safe. But Sean, I want to get your take
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: on this. There are so many that say, oh, I
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: wish the Yanks would just not make the playoffs so
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they can reevaluate and clean house. Why do you what's
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the point in rooting against the Yankees success. I never
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: understand it. I want them to win every year. I
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: don't care what what that means in the office. I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: want them to win now.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: And I know I agree, you know, I think I
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: think the only thing with the Yankees is that they're good.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: They for the most part, have had it. They like.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Yigvans, have had it, and they want you know, the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: problem of yank you'll agree.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: With differently, but yak are too uh.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: They're too winning happy, because that makes sense, like they
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: won't want them. And what I mean by that is
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: that they they want them win every year. And you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: it's not like it's not like we're back in ninety six.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: It's not like we're back in ninety six where we
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you know, we well, we went through that incredible incredible run.

  Speaker 2: That's and I think Yankee fans, you know, if they

  Speaker 2: were Yankee fans, is that we're we're patient. We're patient bunch.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: But it's been fifteen years, you know that. Yankee beans,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I think we're proster and they kind of add you
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: gotta get to the point where like, hey, we want
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: we ain and we play. You know, it's like where
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: would point the finger?
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You know, No, it's it's you're right, it does become that.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: But hey, if they can win some games, I think
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the finger pointing will be leave it. They just want
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to win the world. Yankee fans just want to go
• 18:51
