Aaron Boone Needs To Have One Leg Up With a Winning Formula For the Yankees ! (recorded 8-5-25) · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All right, well, I'm listening
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to New York Sports Talk today and I have to
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: fire it up here on the one leg up on
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Sports feature because I did this last time when I
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: thought Jasan Dominga should have been batting lead off, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: when they batted them lead off five straight days or so,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: they had a five game win streak. Coincidence, I think not.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You want to know what I think. On August fifth,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, with the Yankees looming in the second
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: wild card spot all the way from first, they fall
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: into tide with the Mariners first second wild card in
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the American League, you know it's gonna change it. I'm
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: gonna speak out on this projection from the bullpen. You
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: got all these relievers, now you send down Bird. So
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: here's what you do. I still say consistency at the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: top of the lineup will help this push. We're still
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: in a playoff push. I can't believe in August. I'm
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: worried about what Boston's doing already. But here we are.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: We're here, and I'm gonna throw this out there to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: manager Aaron Boone. If you want to really seal down
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: these games, and if you want to not panic at
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a five to four lead, I think putting in Deval
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: in the seventh was a panic move yesterday. I don't
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: think that should be the long term practice. So here's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: what we do. Sixth inning Luke Weaver, seventh inning Devin
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Williams or lug Wisega or a lighter junior or cruise.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Eighth inning. Looks like Bennar is your guy. Ninth inning
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is Doval and see how that works. But Williams should
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: not touch the ninth inning the rest of the season.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: We've been burned time and time again. That bullpen was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: looking fantastic. Stick that inning from Weaver, that inning from Dovall,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that inn'ting from Bendar. Then Williams comes in and disaster strikes,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and then Berg comes in and he gives up the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: game winner. Look, I haven't been this passionate about a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: bullpen since I used to be in the suite saying,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: all right, well they're gonna bring up the lefty now
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to face the lefty batter, blah blah blah blah. Well
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I'm invested. You bring in a few new arms you
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be fascinating how Boom mixes and matches as
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: bullpen the rest of the way, because remember there's also
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a bullpen budget they got to deal with also every night,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: every fricking night, they deal with a bullpen budget. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: now they just have to nail down these games. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: still believe there could be a bridge to a closer,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and that closer should be Dovall, and I believe that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: bridge will be very strong. And I still stand by
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: what I said on Thursday, which is I still feel
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like this bullpen has a potential to be a nineties
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: kind of version of the twenty twenty five Yankee bullpen.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And again I'm gonna say it here on August fifth,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, Consistency at the top of the lineup
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: is what's needed the bullpen. The bullpen needs to have
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a consistent rote you know, dedicated guy for each inning.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: That's needed. We love our starters to go seven, right
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that way, it's only eight to nine, but it doesn't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: happen all the time. Hasn't happened in a little while.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Schmidt was one of the last guys to go deep
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: in a game, and he was no hitting. To be
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: more specific, he was no hitting. The orioles a few
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about a month or two ago on June twenty first
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: seven hitless innings, he should have gone in for the eighth.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: But I digress, you're not gonna get that every night.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: And we love to get that from a freed a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: rodawn now a heel, a Schlitzler has a potential to
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: do that, I think, but we can't. We can't mess
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: around with the back end of the game. And if
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: they follow this formula, remember Tory had a couple of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: formulas going on. Tory had the formula of bringing in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Stanton and Nelson and getting into Mariano, and getting into Mariano,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone has its potential to build the formula here
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to get us through this long elongated rough patch. Elongated
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: rough patch. So the formula to me is going to
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be Weaver in the sixth, Williams in the seventh, Bennar
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in the eighth, Dovall in the ninth. And of course
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Williams can be substitutent, a lewaizega, a lighter junior, a
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: cruise if you do not coming to Williams on that day,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: or a bopen budget thing. But keep it, keep it formulaic.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The nineties were formulaic for the Yankees, and so I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: would say here on the one leg up on sports
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: for August fifth, twenty twenty five, this should be rock bottom,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: tied for the Mariners for the second wild card spot
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: after leading the division seven games up in Jude should
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: be the rock and how do we climb ourselves out
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of it? Have one leg up on formulas, not analytics,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but formula, and that will get us back, not only
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in the chase. I still think there's time to take
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this division and overtake Boston Aaron Boone, just as I
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: have one leg up on formulas. That's how the Tory
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: era went, and now the Girardi era went in a sense,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but mainly the Toy era. He had that winning formula
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and you know what, twenty six years later, I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of ninety eight, twenty seven, I guess years later, Cashman's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: done it again. He's provided a manager with the formula
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: for success. I know Jake Bird was sent bent down.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That's not a good look, but overall, there's a formula
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: for success here and Boone's got to read into it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and get rid of the analytics. Do what Tori did.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Have one leg up on formula, and I do think
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: once again I'll say it till I'm blue in the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: fricking face. Jusan di Mingez leading off is part of that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Formula is part of that, for he will set the tone.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: He sets the tone every time in that leadoff position,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: and that's how you develop a winning formula. That's all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I got for now, but one leg up on Sports
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: with Alex Garett today urges Aaron Boone to have a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: one leg up on formula because formulaic baseball, like fundamental baseball,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: will get you beyond the wild card spots and back
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: in the division race. We'll talk to you soon on
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the one like our network
