Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, I'm Alex Garrett,
- 0:05Speaker 1: the one leg of Alex Media Mini cast Yankee's eight
- 0:08Speaker 1: and four the first twelve, and I wanted to do
- 0:11Speaker 1: a little podcast called the First twelve because, let's face it,
- 0:14Speaker 1: these first twelve games were crucial. I know it's early on,
- 0:17Speaker 1: but you want to have a nice little setup into
- 0:20Speaker 1: Ali's play. It's the first series of Ali's play this
- 0:23Speaker 1: weekend against the Rays, and I thought, boy, if they
- 0:28Speaker 1: can go I don't know if undefeated with a pipe dream,
- 0:31Speaker 1: but if they go nine and three their first twelve,
- 0:34Speaker 1: I'd be happy. They end up at eight and four,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and a few of those losses were tough, but overall
- 0:39Speaker 1: my assessment is this Yankee's pitching looks on the mark.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Look it took until Saturday for a pitcher to give
- 0:47Speaker 1: up three runs by the Yanks this past first twelve games.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Last night, Ryan Wethers a one nothing loss. I mean,
- 0:56Speaker 1: he pitched a gem of a game. It was a
- 0:58Speaker 1: picture's duel against the A's. So then where are the gaps? Well,
- 1:02Speaker 1: the bottom of the lineup right now, almost everybody there
- 1:06Speaker 1: from Wells on down hitting under one hundred one hundred.
- 1:14Speaker 1: That's got to change, and I think it will. And then,
- 1:16Speaker 1: of course the situation is hitting. I've liked it at times.
- 1:20Speaker 1: I think it's great that we've won majority of these
- 1:22Speaker 1: first eight games without a homer. Let's face that idea too.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Is Tuesday night, gritty game against the A Stanton he
- 1:31Speaker 1: got a base it up the middle. He actually started
- 1:33Speaker 1: the season with five straight multi hit games, I mean,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and Ben Rice doing the same with his doubling and
- 1:39Speaker 1: a couple homers along the way. But overall, I like
- 1:43Speaker 1: the way they hit in situations. They just got to
- 1:46Speaker 1: improve on it and maybe not sure and the bases
- 1:49Speaker 1: loaded like they did last home opener against the Marlins.
- 1:53Speaker 1: That game with the bases loaded, I was they scored
- 1:56Speaker 1: a little more, but they still get the win. So overall,
- 1:59Speaker 1: eight and four in the first twelve, it's a great
- 2:02Speaker 1: start of the season, there's no doubt about it. But
- 2:04Speaker 1: we can just get the bottom of the lineup above
- 2:07Speaker 1: the Mendoza line. That's a start, and then go from
- 2:09Speaker 1: there and just keep winning games without relying on the homer.
- 2:13Speaker 1: That's my message here at one like a Balox Media.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I remember, here's a little footage from last week opening
- 2:18Speaker 1: Day twenty twenty six, the home opener against the mon
