• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The rex was
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: not chasing the jeep.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Murray, Murray, you there. You love sandwiches. Huh, let's go
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: to eighty. It was bo Wow that Prime time baby.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I had a crush on Betty Rubbell.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the game. You're listening to Stuccattson Company. Our friend Jake
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Storyale joined us from John Boy Media.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: His podcast talking baseball and talking Yanks. They're killing it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Check it out wherever you get your podcast. Taylor still
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: mad at Brian Cashman. We'll get to that in the second.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: But all I heard as I was getting ready to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: do this interview with you, Jake, was you and Mikey
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: talking about a classic shell game.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: What the hell were you two talking about?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: It was don't I guess Wizard of Oz. Don't look
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: at the man behind the curtain a little bit? It was, Hey,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: we got it, we got our starting short stop. They
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: and honestly, thank god because we interviewed Boone this morning
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: and if they didn't do that, it would have been
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: a pretty rough episode. And then it was kind of like,
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: all right, let's do it. So in a way I
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: got shell gamed.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, in a way you did. Yes, you seem to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: be upset about it, though, Jake, I mean it happened, no.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: The realization. Yeah, yeah. Man, it's as as you get
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: from from these two too often. And I'm sorry they're
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: they're beating Yankees culture into you. Yeah. Man, it just
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: a perfectly beautiful emotional twenty twenty six Yankees day of
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the trade deadline. We're gonna get these many pitchers. We
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: might get a catcher, we might get a third baseman,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: we might get a short step we did not, and
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: then we have one of our best comebacks of the
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: season with our guy, Joe's mcflys, who's just one of
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: the best to do whatever the hell he does. He said,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the Yankees lost twice yesterday. They lost by six runs twice.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, and that's just hard to do, right, Yes,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: it's hard to do. Yes, thank you for acknowledging, by
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the way, what mikey A and Taylor have done to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: me with the Yankee stuff.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate it. No one else does that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: No, let's talk Mets, Stu Gotts, Let's talk away Mets.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: What.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about the Mets.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'd like to talk about football eventually, and not the Yankees.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, thank you very much, go ahead, Taylor two weeks.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, so, what we were talking about initially was the
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Yankees calling up their top prospect, George Lombard, who's their
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: shortstop of the future hopefully. But Yankee fans today we
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: can't even get excited about George Lombard because I am
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: so offended by Brian Cashman. This deadline.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: When when a.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Kid is crying, ste Gotts, Yes, how do you get
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: them to stop crying?
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know. For me, I drove my kid around
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the neighborhood in the back of the car.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: That's one way you could do it. Or you could
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: put a shiny toy in front of them to distract them.
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: And the Yankees calling up their top prospect, Jake with
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Brian Cashman distracting us from the fact that he had
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: another underwhelming deadline in the American League that feelds as wide.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Open as ever.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I so I try to find I try to
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: be a logical sports fan, even though it's it's not
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: what we're built on. But that's that's where I try
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: to land the plane. If someone's tuning into talking Yanks, hey,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: we're gonna have moments where you're gonna absolutely hate us
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and some of the Yankee stuff I'm gonna references either
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: from the olden years and it's crazy Yankee mentality, or
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be mad about something Carlos rode On coming back,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: where other teams if they traded for Carlos rodd On
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: coming back, they would be excited about that. But that's
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: not how we operate that. With this Yankees deadline, my
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: point of logic would be zero shortstops got traded. Shortstops
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: don't really exist. Zero. The only third baseman that got
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: moved was Curtis Mead and that was for young Connelly early,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: so that was a totally different type of deal that Okay,
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: that wasn't there. There's literally no supply, which if you
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: want to get Matt at Cashman about not having the
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: proper supply for the past five to ten years, I
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: can't really argue against that. But at this deadline I
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: had no expectations there two catchers got traded and you
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: can't really defend our catchers. And then a bunch of
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: pitchers got traded, which is just like you know, sometimes
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: as we get new analytics and new everything in the sport,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: it's just as old as time. You literally can't have
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: enough arms. The Dodgers trade for schoobl and Bubich, who
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: go look at Boobach's last three seasons. That guy's era
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: is in the two So like the fact they didn't
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: get pitching or catching help is shocking. And then if
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: you really want to go Yankee Siko stuff, it's the
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: fact that they waited to call up George Lombard to
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the trade deadline because I'm guessing they tried to trade
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Volpi and they trade to try Dominga's but either they
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: value them too much, correct or other teams don't value
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: them also correct.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Jake, I love how you came in with some measure
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: of a level headedness. I would say, yes, yes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I don't like it, by the way, but anyway, see
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he mentioned.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: He mentioned one of his co workers, Joe's McFly, and
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: this was Joe's McFly. After the deadline wraps up at
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: six pm and he starts to realize the Yankees don't
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: have any more moves to be made.
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: What do we have any news? Anybody last minute trades?
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: It's done, the timer is done. Joe Sherman will sow
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: the Yankees me no other trade. Oh my god, the
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: serious This is the most unserious team ever.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: Unreal last deadline trash they did awful.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: It was pathetic what.
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: They did this deadline pathetic. The Rays got better, the
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: Reds that's got better.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: You marginally improved. This's me. There's no way you prospic
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: hunks and death. Bro what a piece of deadline man.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't get a single bullpen arm.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: I don't even know how how the pen's gonna get
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: through August.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: We didn't get a catcher.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: What did we do? We got nothing.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: We did nothing.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: That's how you do it, Jake. I mean, I gotta
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: be honest, get me fly on the show, by the way.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's go.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I no, I think I just WELLY picked myself that
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: that was my bad. But there's a reason he's the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: best at what he does. Again, I have those thoughts,
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: we let them out in live time and then I
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: try to be logical. But yeah, it's also I'll tell
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: you what if you want to see the next point
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: where I'm so cause I have I have kind of
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I'll say this, I have a bubbly personality when it
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: when it's on, it's on.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: When the Yankees lose, which I think they're going to
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: do this year, you know, whether that's October fourth or
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: October twenty second or whatever.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That is, when the season's also right, that's.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: When I I have that old Italian man moment where
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: I talk very stoic and I talk very basic, and
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: it's how did they do this? How did they not
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: do this? How could they think this was real? Turn
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: the mics off, let me go, and that's probably that's
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: my next loud but not loud moment.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: All right, I want you on during those moments. Okay,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: that's what I want you on, all right, Okay, none
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: is McFly?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, I mean.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: That's such a loaded question. Save answers, no, save answers no.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, go ahead, Mikey.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: I think fans, and by fans, I meete McFly and
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Taylor and myself, not you, because you're way too logical
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: right now are more angry, not necessarily of yesterday, but
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: it's the last six eight months like this is a
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: bad deadline after a bad offseason where he basically just said, nah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: we'll be fine. We did, we did all right before,
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: we'll do it again.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: It's man, if you want to do six eight months,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: if you want to do six eight years, like we
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: could rack it up a lot of different ways that Yeah,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: there's just let what this deadline felt like, which if
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you will, okay, let's start going insane. This deadline felt
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: like them tripling down in their beliefs. Let's bring in
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: two sluggers. I don't even know if we got positions
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: for them, but how about two more sluggers. Yeah, they
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: don't necessarily grind out at bets. Luis Carcia Junior probably
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: deserves some more respect what he has been doing to Righty's.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: He was leading the NL and slugging again, slugging, And
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: it's the Yankees just don't believe in team building anymore,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Like they don't believe in Hey, you need grinders at
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the bottom, or we need this guy to get on base,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: or you need different looks in their lineup. No, it
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: feels like of all the analytics and information we've pumped in,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: they've somehow come back to like more Homers might win,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: and it's never. It hasn't worked for them. It hasn't
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: worked for them in sixteen years. They went to the
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: World Series once, the New York Yankees, and they got
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: embarrassed at that World Series. But they're tripling down on
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: modern beliefs, which is insane, insane.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: It feels to me like the two words that were
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: spoken the most in all the meetings when they were
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: discussing what to do was short porch. I feel like
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: that's all they cared about. Hey, hey, imagine this guy
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: with the short porch.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: We'll nail that.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Well, it's that, And then hey, how about this. I'll
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: or rewind four years twenty two, twenty one when they
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: were all right handed, but their way they were gonna
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: beat the system was rieties that could hit it to
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the short porch. Know who's really good at hitting into
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: the short porch? Lefties? And now they reverse course to
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: get those lefties back, because every legendary Yankee ever is
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: a big lefty that hit home runs before the rest
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: of the league figured it out. So yeah, man, it's
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: still in there. I'll get loud with you guys if
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: you want.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: All right, we have a sound of both mikey A
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: and Taylor getting loud. It's the first baseball argument I've
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: heard since nineteen eighty seven. So it's Mike and Chris
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: did it on WFA and in New York. We're gonna
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: play this ound. Just know that Taylor, while he's talking,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Mikey A is holding his hands up in the air
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: in disagreement. All right, so here here's this sound, Taylor
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: and mikey A having a baseball brawl.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: Don't put your hands up like that. What do you
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: put in your hands up?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Yes? That fights a team.
• 10:26
  Speaker 9: It's a team full of first basemen in DH's Mike,
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: you gotta play the field, who's catching, who's playing shortstop,
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: who's playing right and left field? With your two outfielders hurt,
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: You went and got a second basement first baseman when
• 10:40
  Speaker 9: those are the totally two spots that you're not.
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Moving, Mikey they got a hitter, They got a hitter.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I mean to mcflies, how about that? Huh.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: It's the best. It's the best. It's that, you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: I know you said you haven't heard that since eighty seven.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: There these baseball sickos were re emerging. I don't know
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: what happened during the two thousands. I don't know if
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: like Curry's three point shots were just so cool or
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: what happened, But we're appearing from the woodwork man. We exist.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Yep, lebron to the heat.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Happened for me at least, I mean, I don't know
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what anyone else, but that's mine.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: You know, it was a big one. Yes, Dodgers of
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the field. Who would you.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Take Dodgers or the field? Dodgers?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you would easily. Wow, that was easy for you.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Huh yeah, I as I'm balancing logic and non. I mean,
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: they've got one goal, one intention, and they they've been
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: operating with half their parts because they are they're playing
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: for something different. They added school ball and they're going
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: to get glass now. Snell Yamamoto has been one of
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the best postseason performers ever. And that's before you get
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to the lineup. And their bullpen was their achilles hell
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: last year and also going back to last year, they
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: didn't hit like their stats after the World Series were horrific.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I think they were on the interstate. I think they
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: in the ones and they won. Yeah, and they won,
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: so yeah, I the al I mean, my god, whoever
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: comes out of there. But yeah, it's it's the same
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: conversation for the past two years. Can the Phillies clip
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: them in five games? Can't? Basically you're only looking at
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: the five game set for who can clip them and
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: it hasn't happened. So I yeah, I would.
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: I would put money on them.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: How'd you feel about Freddy Peralta going from the Mets
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to the Rays? Because you know how this works, Jake,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: what'd you leave the Meds? What happens is you pitched
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: like a Cy Young Award winner? Are you expecting that
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: from Freddy Peralta?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Here?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: It could it could be raise Dodgers again. Run back
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: some twenty twenty, invoke all those pleasant memories, because yeah, man,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: they had they had the deadline the Yankees fans wanted.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Oh we added a catcher, we added a starting and
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: we added a reliever. All right, nice like that. That's
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: what a trade deadline is supposed to be for every
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: winning team going back the past forty years. That, Yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: the Rays had a sneaky great deadline. They've had a
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: sneaky great season that and yeah it the biggest thing
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: for Freddy is getting the Mets off of him.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Yep, I just want to thank you because I just
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: found out the Rays won the World Series at twenty twenty.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: How about that they made it to the World Series.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I had no idea. Yes, right, thank you for filling
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: me in.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: It was a good one. It was a good one.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: It was his Dodgers. That was before the Dodgers dynasty
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: had really actually started. And then they were illegitimate. They
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: were angry and now boy, they're just taking laps.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I'll trust you on it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Is there anyone you thought that was going to be
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: traded yesterday that wasn't traded?
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Ooh uh? Not really? Like I I would lose you
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: if I started talking about it like you're your Cincinnati
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Reds didn't have a big deadline, so you know, they
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: should have sold everyone they could have, and they kind
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: of did it. But I don't you know Tyler Stevenson
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: as our platoon catcher, like no, your Mets. They emptied
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: the cupboard like they they did what they had to do.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I think the other guys other teams didn't necessarily want
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: what they were selling, but they they sold the guys
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: they should have that. No, there wasn't around the league.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: There wasn't a ton of that except like the athletics
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and the Reds didn't sell hard enough and nobody needs.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: That, right, how'd you feel about school ball? Because it's interesting.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Baseball has a problem. Only a handful of teams are
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: trying to win. The Dodgers aren't the problem. They're one
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: of the teams trying to win every single year. But
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: from the Brewer standpoint, do you think they should have
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: tried to trade for school ball? Because I don't. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: here's why you get school ball. It's a rental for
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: a couple of months. They're not going to sign him
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to a four hundred million dollar contract, and eventually he's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: going to be a Dodger anyway.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess for me a we do hug prospects
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: too much. Like we're Luis Castillo who got traded again
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: this deadline a couple years ago. He gets traded from
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: the Reds. He's the best starting pitcher available and it
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: was like whoa, the Mariners threw a package at him.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Go look at the package. It's negative war. I think
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: three of the four players are negative war and the
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: other hasn't made it to the major So like, we
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: do get very caught up in the one time that
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: someone does get burnt by a trade, trading away prospect
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: who becomes generational, it very rarely happens because it's so
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: hard in this game to be good that for me,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: my only hand up moment is the trade they did
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: with the Dodgers. I believe would have been there till
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: the final minute of the trade deadline. Then why wouldn't
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: you wait for the Brewers, the Braid, for any other
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: team to bring an offer. Where the story is the
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Tigers called the Dodgers on Saturday and said we want
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to trade with you, which, again, maybe there's a nice
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: handshake with Tarrek Skouble like you've been good for us,
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: will take care of you. But if I'm the Detroit Tigers,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: I want the best package, if I'm trading away the
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: best pitch and it it didn't really feel like that,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: But that that could just be me being salty because
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: the Dodgers have turned into what our Yankees used to
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: be chick.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: From a non Yankee perspective, what did you think of
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: Adlie Rushman going from the Orioles to the Red Sox
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: Because the package Baltimore got felt like almost like a
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: superstar level package.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who's who's your favorite player of that Boston package?
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Who do you love watching play?
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: That's a good point.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I don't I can't believe you shut him up first time.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: Go look, go look at the Red Sox Mookie Betts package. Like,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: this is baseball, and I know there's some good ones. Hey,
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the Nationals for Juan Soto, they got back some dudes.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: How's that working out for them on the whole? Like
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: the Red Sox got Adley Rushman, And if I see
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: him playing in October, and if I see him playing
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: later in October than the Yankees, I'm gonna be furious.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: And then hey, if two or three years down the road,
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: one or two of those guys turn into something great.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: They just traded away Marcelo Mayer. It was top ten
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: prospect for like three years. They got a lefty reliever
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: for a couple seasons. Like that's how goes? How is Volpi?
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: It's over? It's over that. What trade offers did they
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: turn down for Jason Dominga's And now would what would
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: you have traded Jason dimingas for yesterday? So the prospect
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: stuff every year, you hear me kicking in a little more,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: like what are we really doing. Yeah, what are we
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: really doing? Because it's really hard to be good at
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: this sport. So if you can get someone that you
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: know is good at this sport, go get them.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think the lack of moves by the Yankees
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: would suggest that maybe Aaron Judge is not coming back?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I don't think so. I like the theory, I'll be honest.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: When I was watching the Yankees lose twice last night,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I found myself in that theory yet again. But like,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know, man, No, I think the Yankees believe
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: in what they do so much, which is shocking because
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: the results aren't there. That they believe in their guys
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: getting healthy, which they should, Like, I don't know Belly's
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: coming back, Like I believe in that Stanton in some form,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Judge was playing with the injury, so the fact there
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: was no surgery or anything makes me think he can
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: try to play through it. I don't know what version
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: of him you're getting, but it's gonna be a better
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: version than whoever else is on the field. That they
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: they just believe in what they're doing, which is kind
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: of nuts because it hasn't worked.
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: With the lack of moves, that the deadline and this
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: shiny new toy they're putting in front of us in
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: George Lombard. How much pressure is on Lombard to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: everything we've been told he's going to be immediately.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I'll try to I don't know if this is fade
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: in the fade, but like, I don't think there's pressure, Like, uh,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: who's walking around loving the Yankees fan? Not Yankee fans
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: right now?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: And it's not like he's not replacing Jeter. He's replacing Voltpy.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: So if he can come in play solid defense, we're
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: back to where we were right and that has been
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: the scouting report that my god, if he puts a
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: couple good swings on a ball, he might be walking
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: into the perfect situation. And I guess the only other
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: part to that is like we're calling up a kid
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: who's twenty one and he's now the starting shortstop of
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: the New York Yankees. I bet you know, if you
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: asked him a real question, he's like, Yeah, I'm about
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: to save the season. I'm the man, and he should
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: think that, right, like if you're an athlete. But yeah,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: he he could be walking into a great spot, or
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: he could be watching the Bronx burn around him.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: So the bar is vulpy, right, And I'm with you.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Since the bar is vulpy, that's an easy bar for
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: him to eclipse, right, no pressure.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm with you on that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Not bad, right or Baby Cabrierlero if you thought Cabiro
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: is a little better. But again, that's still that's a
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: vagabond utility player, Jake.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: As you heard earlier, I was a fan of the
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Yankees acquiring Luis Garcia Junior just because the lineup is
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: so bad, and I don't think beggars can be choosers
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: when you're looking at the potential lineups, the Yankees could have.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: My problem with Luis Garcia Junior his numbers against lefties,
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: We're on a collision course. I don't know if the
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Yankees realize this with a with a matchup against the
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Red Sox in the wildcard round, and when you look
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: at the Red Sox Ranger Suarez lefty, Peyton Totley lefty,
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: if Garrett Crochet comes back, lefty, Jake Bennett lefty, Patrick
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Sandoval lefty, how big of a problem is it that
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: the big deadline acquisition seems like he might be unplayable
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: against your biggest rival.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Well, as long as the Red Sox don't have a
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: lefty closer, right, oh way, yeah, our our former closer.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Is he questioning whether or not the Yankees are aware
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: of this? Is that what you're doing?
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: And I don't think they are.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: Well, honestly, the sad part is it could be a
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: fair question. I guess. Okay, let's get into dark Yankee dreams.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: It's coming down to the end of the season, and
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: it's one of those If you win, you play boss.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: If you lose, you play the other team. Would the
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Yankees throw a game to go into the Wildcard to
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: not face the Boston Red Sox, who are filled with
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: lefty pitching, Cause you're right, and there's still season to
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: play out, because like, hey, if Judge Stanton, our guy
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: Ellie Ramos, if they're bashing lefties and Goldie finds it again,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: maybe we do have a lefty bashing lineup. We'll see.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Every time the Red Sox have put us in a
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: moment of is this going to work out for the
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Red Sox or Yankees? It's been Red Sox four out
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: of the last five. By the way, Jared Durant catches
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: a fly ball last year, Red Sox win the wildcard
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: game two games to none.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Right, Jake, would you be upset if the Yankees did
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: throw a game to avoid the Red Sox?
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: No, but that's because I've got a little bit of
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: a sick o side to me. It's like, oh, if
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: you boys are gonna do that, they need better go
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: win the next one. Like, that's when I that's when
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: I I'll sit down for the game early. I'll make
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: sure I got everything and be like, let's see what
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: you boys got.
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Stude Jake. Jake mentioned the Yankees acquiring Elliott Ramos from
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: the Giants. The Yankees lead the league in platoon bats
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: because he's he's only good against lefties.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: Uh, but Joe's McFly was streaming for six hours yesterday
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: and and this was his reaction when he found out
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: the Yankees only big move was Elliott Ramos yesterday, I've
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: been live.
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: For six hours, So watch the Yankees guy, just Elliott
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: Ramos and watch everybody else play off side of the sun.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: It's kind of omnic fly for going live for six hours.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, who does that?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The Mania five day?
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's he is, He's a one of one. And again, yes,
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: if this is a Wally Pip situation. It's been a
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: great run. But he that's how he sees it, and he's, uh,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: I think a shout out to my guy, Joe's he
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: turned forty this year, so he's he's seen, he's seen
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: a lot of this beautiful world. And he he did.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: He did not like the deadline yesterday, and no Yank,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: no Yankee fan walked away saying it was great.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Right. Uh. Jake story Alley, You're always welcome here.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: By the way, John Boy Media, check out his podcast
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: wherever you get your podcast talking baseball and talking Yanks.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Final question on the way out here we are We've
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: been asking every guest this question. Indiana football school or
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: basketball school?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Huh wow, Yeah, I would say I would say football school. Man.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, and I grew up. I grew up in Connecticut.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: I'm a huge Yukon fan. My dad went to Yukon
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: that I'm blessed to follow what was the beautiful Big
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: East basketball And I remember hearing about the lord that
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: was Indiana and Bobby Knight and watching watching Coach k
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: praise Bobby Knight that showed him the world in all
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: its secrets. But has Indiana been something since Bobby. And
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: that's a lot of moons.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Now, right, went to one final four. I think that's
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: it without Bobby eg yay, right, Like.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: That's that's not They won the Natty and football football,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Like I don't. San Francisco is still a basketball.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: School, I know because they won the two championships with
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Bill Russell.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Is that what you're saying?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like what was that nineteen fifties or like, I
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: don't know.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: But they're also not a football school, you know, like
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Yukon is a basketball school that wishes they were a
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: football school.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Oh god, don't even that would be if I had
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: to go back to school and write a thesis paper,
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: I would write something about how Paul Pascaloni was the
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: worst hire in sports history.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: That's the one you left on the table.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Huh Yeah, I'm literally not gonna do the whole thing
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: because that Yukon had some actual football momentum and instead
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: of hiring the sexy cool coordinator. Oh, Pascaloni knows the region. Great,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: they didn't win. His only good years are with McNabb
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: and Marvin Harrison.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Right, he knows the region. He can get from point
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: A to point B.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: Who cares and he knows ninety five North to you credit, though,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: they do have one of my Mount Rushmore moments for
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: college football within the past twenty years when Bob Diaco
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: had the game against UCF and he just said, hey,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: we're gonna call this the Civil Convict Bowl, and he
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: had his own trophy made up for that, and UCF
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: was like, we don't recognize this rivalry.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: We'd rather not. No thanks. They left the trophy after Yeah,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I yes, that's fair. Jim Morre Junior or Jim Morri
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: came in started talking about ghosts in his house or
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: something that was scary, but hey, they ended up they
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: ended up being all.
• 25:34
