• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're gonna take a moment and talk
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: some baseball, because as you know, it's part of my passion.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: And we'll get back to eighty eight thirty five next episode.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: But I have to shout out Justin Time Baseball, who
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was at Yankee Stadium this week and an event put
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on by Double Play Sports Events and the Yankees where
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: premium licensees were able to take batting practice fielding practice
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. How cool is that? And here's what
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Justin said from right field this past week. Of course,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: right field is where the captain, Aaron Judge, reigns, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: great defense by him this year, by the way, But
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: here's what Justin Time had to say from Yankee Stadium
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: earlier this week. Hey everybody, I'm here at Yankee Stadium
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: in right field where the captain plays, Aaron Judge. Little
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: outfield tip for you. When you're taking a fly ball,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: your first step is back and we're doing a drop step.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Much easier to come in then to go out. Tip
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: of the day. And so very honored that he continues
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to partner with us at the show and that we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get to play his clips for you in case you
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: didn't catch it. On his social media just in Time Baseball.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: But he is a guy like so many others that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: care about fundamentals of the game. And when you watch
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: last night's Yankee game and you see that they kept
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: climbing back and then they eventually do lose the series
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: to the Blue Jays, I have to wonder when will
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: these issues be addressed. I told Jimmy Randezo this and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he reposted me posted the Yankees pot of course, I said.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: The Yanks seem to just get by on the wins
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they have. The day after a fundamental disaster happened, it's like, oh, well,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: we lost to Atlanta by misrunning the bases. Yet Trent
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Grisham Bales is out the next night with a grand slap. Great,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: let's talk about what's really going on here in October.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You need to be sharp as attack. I don't care
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: what baseball team you are. And these errors that are happening.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I think Steve, my friend, said it was like two
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: errors in one inning at one point. I mean it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a disaster in the field. Four errors and two wild
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: pitches is what he told me. That's unacceptable. And I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: love the Yankees, but at what point do we as
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: fans start to say, hey, let's focus on this team
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: addressing let's push for this team to address the issues
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of fundamentals, because you can get by on winning the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: next night after a disaster, or you can just clamp
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: down focus on these issues and then all of a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sudden play better baseball. I'm very ticked off that we
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: lost the series to Toronto. I thought we could have
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: had a chance after Monday. Ben Rice, who struck out
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to end the game on Monday night, goes back and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hits a clutch game winner on Tuesday night to snap
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the Blue Jays eleven game home win streak, by the way,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: and four game win streak posts all Star Break. Then
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: last night, you know, and by by, I gotta give
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Jazz and Belly credit as well for hitting those homers
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in Tuesday's game as well. But last night Volpie homers.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Judge gets a homer, and then that was kind of it,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And I was saying to talking Yanks, Look, a healthy
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Max Freed could be a key to the Yankee success.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I'm also gonna add in there. I'm also gonna add
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: in there, a healthy fundamentals, a solid fundamental game will
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: also be key. The Dodgers as I said before, had
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a playbook somehow of what the Yanks demise was gonna
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: be that World Series, and they were just waiting to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: pounds in Game five, that five to nothing lead that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: got erased because of those fundamental errors. But at what
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: point do we stop yelling at talking Yanks for questioning
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this and actually addressing the issues. Aaron Boone, you and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Blake get thrown out that that's great you want to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: stand up for your guys. I understand that, but you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: know you also stand up for your guys. You manage them,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You get them back on that field and focus on
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the fundamentals of the game. If you don't have one
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: leg up on fundamentals, or as Keith Namers say, the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: fundies of the game, you're gonna screw yourself. And I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: tired of watching this team climb all the way back
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: just to fail an inning later or two innings later.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: And by the way, this we going to be a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: perfect way to ship shape the defense the fundamentals, because
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the Phillies are not coming in messing around. Kyle Schwarber
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: looks like he's found himself after that swing off, hitting
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: homer after homer again, and the Phillies, though they've been
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: struggling going into the break, seem to have really needed
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that All Star break and they're coming in well, I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: know they lost last night to the Red Sox, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: come on, they look better than they did the first
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: part of the season. And you know why, it's also
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: important to get the ship shop shave defense because that's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: a great way to honor C. C. Sabathia's induction into
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Cooperstown this weekend. I the MLB know what they did,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: know what they were doing when they scheduled the Phillies
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and the Yankees for induction weekend, because that's the team
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the Yanks beat. That's the team CC beat to get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the ring in two thousand and nine. How fitting is that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And to truly honor this induction, it's not just by
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: maybe playing on the big screen, you know, because the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: games at one point thirty maybe they'll play before. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but it's to play clean baseball. It's to capitalize on
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: mistakes from the other side. But more importantly, it's to
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: play clean baseball. CC's career, he played it pretty damn good.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He I think he was a good fielder too, if
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. But he played clean baseball so much
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: that he's a Hall of Famer now and we need
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that CC type energy where that guy came to the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: rotation in two thousand and nine really led the Yanks
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to beyond just the playoffs. He led them in the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: World Series in nine and beyond. He's a franchise turner arounder.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He turned around the Indians franchise, he turned around the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Brewers franchise, and he turned on the Aanks franchise as ours.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned. So now at the perfect time for a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: turnaround energy where we sit down, we take our fielding practice,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and we don't look sloppy. It would be a terrible
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: thing on the day seasons about the of the weekend season,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Abat is inductive to play sloppy baseball. That would that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: would really uh make the Boss spin in his grave,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: if you will. Because it's time. It's clutch time. The Yanks.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Avoiding a sleep a sweep is huge, but then they
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: fell asleep yesterday. But avoiding a sweep was huge. You
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: don't want to go into Toronto losing all seven games,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: after losing all four the first weekend of July, first
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: week of July, so you're now one in in a month,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: you're what one in six against the Blue Jays. That's
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: still not to me acceptable. But at least they didn't
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: get swept this time. At least they snapped a home
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: win streak which was kind of started by the Yanks
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: getting swept in Toronto back in early July. But now
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: is the time to shape up and turn around the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: season as you honor a man who turned around your franchise,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: even if it was just that wondering year. Look what
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he did for the Yankees. He even earned his two
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eighth and two hundred and fifty first
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: career wins with you guys. And to play ship shape
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: tip top baseball and fundamentally win would be a great
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: way to honor him. And I would say honor the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Yankees franchise. What does mister Steibaner say? What did he say?
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He said it, And I'll play it again. When you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: put the pin stripes on, you're not just putting a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: baseball uniform on. You're wearing tradition and you're wearing pride,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna wear it the right way. And four
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: errors is not Yankees' pride. So it's time to get
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: tip chop shaped ahead of this weekend, and then I
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: guess should say ahead of old timers weekend as well,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: because you don't want to put up a bad performance
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: in front of the veterans of the team that have
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: continued the Yankee legacy. And one last note, and I'll
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: say it again un till I'm bluing the face. Josane leadoff.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Something happens. It magically sparks this team when he's a leadoff.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Why isn't there consistency at the top. I keep coming
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: back to this, but it feels right. It feels right
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to say Jason should still be lead off, but he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: had a homer last night. It's time. It's time to
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: just choose him his lead off and get everybody together
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and not just get by on the wins you get,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: but actually sit down as a uniform group, as a core,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: and say, let's play clean baseball, let's play sharp baseball,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: and let's have one leg up on fundamentals. As really
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: we're right near the playoff push coming soon. Ti time
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: is now to get those one leg up un fundamentals.
