Jim Bowden: AL West drama, Framber cross-up aftermath, Boston losing Anthony, Yanks bullpen outlook · Foul Territory

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Front Office, Unfiltered. Our resident GM, Jim Bowden is here. JB.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: First off, I actually think it's worth explaining the sweatshirt.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Do you know why he's got a USC.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: The GM or something.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they had a nice little score. I saw the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: score on Saturday, three to thirteen. Wow, they play that
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: GM put together some team.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: That's the point, GM, that's the point. Missouri State, Missouri State,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Missouri State. I mean, would you rather? Yeah?
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: But still another win coming with Georgia Southern on Saturday,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: So that'll be another romp hopefully, but that'll get him
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: ready for when the schedule gets gets tough. But yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: that it was a mismagic kind of felt like an
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: NFL team playing eighth graders. Like even on the field
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: prior to the game, I'm like, oh, this is not
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: going to be nice, and it wasn't. But it was
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: a nice win, nice way for him to start his
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: career at USC.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Were you on the field? I was, Wow, that's electric.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: What's better to be on the field for a baseball
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: game or a football college football game?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, for a baseball game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: The only way I was ever on a field is
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: when they put the screen up during a spring training
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: B game and you'd sit right behind home plate. But
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: besides that, you know you're sitting behind home plate in
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: the scouts section, up in the executive box. You're not
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: really on the field as an executive.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, better to be right.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: You're in a much better spot.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Being the football game, whether it's college or NFL. The
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: atmospheres are great. You can't see right because you're better off,
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: like being higher almost than you are because on the field,
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: especially at the level that Gym's talking about. I've been
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: on the field for NFL in college. You got to
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: chase the place you always have. It's a lot of walking.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: You got to jump in front of it, and then
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: there's a turn over. Then you gotta run back to
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: the other end, and you just it's constantly like this
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: because if you get too far behind and then they
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: go all the way to the other end and you're like,
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: I can't see anything.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, they just ran it. Did they get a first down?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: So you want to run up and try to get
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: It's all like two thousand and seven, Florida, Georgia. I
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: was standing on the goal line when the Georgia team
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: charged the field, and I was like, what the hell
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: is happening here.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know what happened, no idea, what was
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: happening right there? The sounds are great, right.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Sounds great.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, if you haven't been on the if you ever
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: get the chance to go on the field for NFL
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: game when they used to do kickoffs, holy.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Down and it was full speed, two guys. Sounded like explosions.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thing man, All right, let's let's jump into the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: AL West first, JB. I actually want to start with
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the whole division. Really, what do you have on the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: state of the American League West? With the Mariners not
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: figuring out how to win games on the road, the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Rangers having a lane and not really taking it, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: then Houston gaining a little bit of separation here.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think with Seattle, I want to
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: know who did this schedule? Like, are you kidding me?
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: You get to the dog days of August and you're
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: gonna put them on the road for ten days from
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: August twelfth to the twentieth to play Baltimore, New York
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: and Philadelphia, and then you're gonna send them right back
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: on the road for another nine games on the East
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Coast in Cleveland, Tampa, and Atlanta.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, who does that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Seattle already always has the worst travel schedule of any
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: team in Major League Baseball by far. We know that,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: but then you're gonna get to the dog days of
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: August and do that to them twice, Like, come on,
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: that's scheduling.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Just it isn't right.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: And look, I'm not making excuses, but I kind of
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: am because that's tough. That's a grind on players. And look,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the big boys last thirty days haven't gotten it done.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: We get that.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Cal Rowly's sitting two eleven, Juhneoswuarez hitting two oh four,
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Randio Rosearina two oh nine over the last thirty days
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: and three fifths of their rotation not getting it done right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Luis Castillo's era is seven eight eight, George Kirby's is
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: five two three in Logan Gilbert four to sixty two
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: over their last five starts, each of them. So, yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: your star players aren't performing like they have. But I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: telling you this schedule has really hurt them. I think
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: when they settle back and they're done the Atlantic Series
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: and they get home, I think you'll see them start
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: to turn things around. Now for Texas, I think they
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: would have made the playoffs, they not had ridiculous injuries
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to their star players. Their ace Nathan Novaldi, who is
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: actually in the conversation with Twik Scoublin Garrett Crochet for
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Cy Young, goes down for the year and they lose them.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Then their two most expensive players, Corey Seeger and Marcus
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Simeon join them they're out for the year. And then
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Evan Carter, they're a young stud who never got going
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: last year because of injuries.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: They lose him with a fracture two.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: So you know, you look at the Texas Rangers, they're
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: gonna fall short, but four key guys they lose for
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the and they were within striking distance, and so then
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: in terms of Houston, yeah, they're gonna be able to
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: hold on. They're gonna be able to win this division
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: once again, which by the way, is miraculous when you
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: consider losing Bragman, losing Tucker, and then losing Alvarez for
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: a lot of the season, Jeremy paying you for a
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: lot of the season for them to be sitting here
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and winning the division anyway, great job by GM Dana
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Brown and manager Joe A Spot.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: They deserve a lot of credit.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: You get the whole al West to choose from. Do
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: you take any of them to even make the World Series,
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: let alone win the World Series? Or is this of
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: the divisions a division that you're like, Nah, They're just
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: it's a pillow fight out there, and when they play
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: the better teams, they're all going to be out of it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: I think Seattle can run the table if they're pitching
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: and playing up to performance.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I think they have the rotation.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: I think they have the impact closer, and I certainly
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: think they have enough offense now with the pickups that
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: they did at the trade deadline, getting josh Heneo Suarez
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: from Arizona. Cal Raley's gonna finish first or second in
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the nb P voting. Randy rose Arena is in the
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: best year of his career. Jay Rod's doing what he
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: always does, which is rake in the second half of
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the year.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Now I look at Seattle.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And again it comes down to starting pitching and right
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: now three fists of the rotation not getting it done.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: But there they have a lot of talent that rotation.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: So if I was to pick one of the teams
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: in the West to see could they run the table
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: come October? Yeah, I think Seattle.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Could hey, before we get to fromber and throwing balls
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: at teammates. Uh, I want to ask you did you
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: watch the Did you watch the Mariners game last night
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: against the Rays? They fell behind six nothing and George
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Kirby chucked one right at low Oh it's not Brandon
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Lowe's Josh, Josh. There's too many. There was too many
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: lows and Lyles on the Rays forever. So if he
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: hits him, how do you I mean, is that just
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: something that happens? Because the Rays broadcast went after min
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Brian Anderson and in uh not callous?
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Is it callous? No? Uh? The guy from the.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Stats stops Stotts Strange Statts went after We were like, hey,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: you don't be throwing dude, Like if is this a
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: thing still in baseball where you get mad and just
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: chuck the ball.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not accusing Kirby, but it looked pretty bad.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Did you hear him post game two? By the way, No, yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: it looked really bad. I didn't like it. I didn't
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: like it at all. Look, I don't mind a picture
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: getting frustrated when hitters are leaning over and you want
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: to knock him back a little bit to get them
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: off the plate so they don't lean over like that.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: I'm okay with that, But when you're frustrating, frustrated because
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: they're hitting you and it's on you, then I'd never
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: liked that or appreciated that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Okay, Now we'll go to Fromer. By the way, what
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Kirby say postgame?
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He was just saying he was pitching inside I'm looking
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: at it. He said, it's baseball. They called it inside
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: heater saying, how come nobody ever.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Just says, you know what, I chucked on at the
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: dude because I was pissed like Cole Hamil's did Cole
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Hamilon did?
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He got suspended five games.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: That's why you don't say it.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I don't lose money.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: He's right, and he's not.

• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that's true Classic dot com slash f oul.
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: All right, now, let's let's go to the Fromber situation.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Have you ever been on a team where something like
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: this has happened? You know, someone's accused of trying to
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: intentionally hurt a guy on his own team. Not that
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: we're seeing that happen, but you know people are talking
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: about this. Of course Fromer comes out. No, it wasn't intentional.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Have you ever seen anything like this.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: I've never seen anything like at the major league level.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: I have seen it at the minor league level when
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: I was a farm director. I saw it, unfortunately, but
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I'd never seen at the big league level like that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And the body language was absolutely terrible. I mean, to me,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: it looked totally intentional, and I think it's hard to
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: kind of defend because if it was a communication thing,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: I think right after it happened, I thought Valdez would
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: walk towards the catcher and immediately, you know, have a conversation,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: which he didn't. He just turned around and looked out
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: in the center field. So it looked intentional. It was disgusting.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: If I was the catcher, I would have popped him on.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: All Right, Well, you're you're and you're a GM that's
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: looking at a starting pitcher in a free agency market.
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Are you completely because of this one action and I
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: guess some other immature things he's done in his career.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Are you avoiding it or are you at least saying,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: you know what, I'd still take Framber but for X
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: amount less.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm signing him for exactly what I would have
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: signed him before this incident. We're talking about a guy
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: that's a three time All Star that has finished top
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: ten cy Young three years in a row. He's got
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: twelve rins right now with a three era. I got
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: to cover him, watch and win a World Series. I
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: like winning World Series. I'm okay signing him. Before I
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: sign him, I want to have the conversation with him
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: about what happened, look him in the eye, talk about
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: the incident, because certainly that is something that's completely unacceptable
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: and wrong. Would have explained to him that if he
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: was on my team when that happened, I would have
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: suspended him without pay, even if I was in a
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: pennant race, and that's something that's just unacceptable and we're
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: not going to go forward with that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: But that being said, do I want to sign him. Sure.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: You know how hard it is to get pitchers that finish
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: top ten and cy Young every single year. They're really
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: hard to get, and I really like winning and the
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: best starting pitching normally gets to play in October. So yeah,
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: I would absolutely sign him despite the incident. But I
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: certainly would go through the incident with him, communicate. I
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: like to hear what he had to say off the record,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: behind the scenes, whatever, see if he owns up on it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: But yes, I would sign him anyway. And no, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: would not say you have to take a discount, because
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: in the free agent market, he doesn't have to take
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: a discount. He's going to get whatever the market says.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: GMS are going to sign Franbrbaldez because yes, he's that
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: good at pitching.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: JB.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Do you think that he should have publicly apologized versus
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: denying that there was any intent, because it's not just
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: about him doing that publicly versus privately. What happens is
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: teammates your manager. Everyone has to answer and back you up,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: even though everyone knows what really happened.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're always better at being transparent. I
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: think you're always better off saying I did it. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: was frustrated, it's inexcusable. I apologize to the catcher, I'm
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: sorry to my teammates, and then own it and then
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: go forward. That's the best way to handle situations like that,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: in my opinion.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's move to the American League East. Have your
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: thoughts changed at all with the Roman Anthony injury? And
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I saw a quote from Alex Kora telling him that
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: he should visualize and at bat in the ALCS, and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: to me, that means they don't expect him to return
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: until the Alcs if they get there.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, I mean, look, it's a huge blow. What
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: a great rookie, what a young budding superstar we're talking about.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: And to me, it's amazing that the Red Sox have
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: lost three of their best young players for the foreseeable
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: future in Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer and Will You're
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: a Bray, which people aren't talking about enough because you
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: would think either Anthony or Bray you should be in
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: right field instead of so guard. So it's been a
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: huge setback for Boston. Obviously, if they get to the
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: playoffs and the Bleak has a chance to get healthy, yeah,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: of course you want him out there. And look, Boston's
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: going to get to the playoffs because they've been able
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: to figure out their four of their top starting pitchers.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: You know, Garrett Crochet is gonna finish second to Tarik's
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Skoubel in terms of the Cy Young voting. Brian BeO,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: since he put that cutter into his repertoire, has been great.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Since June, Lucas Giolito has proven that the brace procedure
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: for Tommy John is gonna work going forward. That's been
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: huge for the medical industry, not just for Gilido in
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: the Red Sox and Peyton totally when he came up, Wow,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: is that David Wells? Or was that David Wells? So
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Boston's looking there with four good starters. They extended their
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: closer role. This Chapman who now has finally figured out
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: that you don't have to go out and drink and
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: smoke cigars all night, and so he's figured out that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: oh I can have command and control. So look, Boston's
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: gonna get there despite these injuries. I think they're gonna
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: have a hard time moving on in the playoffs. To
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: be honest, I don't know if that lineup is gonna
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: be good enough. But I know one thing. Alex Cora
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: is one of the best manager years in baseball and.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: He always overachieves.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: But it's been great to watch Rome and Anthony. Without
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: a doubt, he's going to be a superstar for years
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: to come. I'm glad the Red Sox were able to
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: sign him at the numbers Craig Breslo was able to do.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: And Boston. Look, they're gonna be a wildcard team and
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. Hopefully Anthony will get get healthier,
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: quicker than the timetable.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Jim, Aren't they happy they signed Anthony and Campbell and
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: some of these guys chating to these extensions.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Now they're all hurt ones and the miners once hurt
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: and the other one hat's figured it out. So good
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: job Red Sox.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but good job.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: But keep in mind, aj like the savings isn't on
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: the front end of any of these contracts. The savings
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: from the back end and the control of their free
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: agent years are there, so you know, injuries are part
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: of the game.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: It's going to happen.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: It's been unfortunate that it's happened at the level it
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: has for Boston. But they're gonna save money on all
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: these deals when it's all said and done.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's like USC before nil, they were just paying guys.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Just no one knew about it, right, everyone was I
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: mean Reggie but wait, Reggie Bush?
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: No wait, sorry, excuse me, I mean wrong sport Baseball?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Who do you trust more? Who do you trust more?
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: The Red Sox and where they're at, or the Yankees
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: bullpen and what they've been doing, because they have just
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: turned into a complete not what we thought. Because remember
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: at the trade deadline, they were like, oh my gosh,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Yankees might have one of the best bullpens of all time.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: And Devin Williams, Weaver dove All doesn't understand fastball in
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: his ear.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, what the heck is happening to
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the Yankees bullpen?
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean all year, what are they their bullpen is?
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: What twenty first and TV era with twenty one blown
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: saves this year? I mean, yeah, it's been a total disaster.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: But you know, you look over the last couple of weeks,
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: they do have three leivers in general that have pitched well,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: David Bennar, Luke Weaver and Fernando Cruz. Benner's era's won
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: six nine his last nine appearances, Weavers is two to
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: one three and is eleven and Cruises one six' nine
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: his last. Five so you, know they do have three guys.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: There they don't have a lot of depth in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: bullpen like we thought The yankees were going to, Have but,
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: look this is a league where teams are filled with,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: pimples and some are gonna pop and some are not gonna.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: Pop at the end of the, Day, yankees you know
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: they've got a. Chance you, KNOW i think we're going
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: to learn a lot about The yankees here over the
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: last the next nine. Games they took advantage of the easy,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: schedule but all year they've struggled against the good. Teams
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: they struggle Against, toronto they struggle Against. Boston, well now
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: they have a run of having to play the division
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: leaders in the, league and we're going to find out
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: about The New York. Yankees we're going to find about,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: out in my, opinion how good they. Are so we'll
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: have to sit watch see how that. Goes it's certainly
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: been a very inconsistent year for, them but there is
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: no dominant team in The American, league and we have
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: to keep that in.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Mind how much do you as a front office get
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: Into boone's, ear BECAUSE i know The yankees' front office
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: really pushes a lot of stuff like this of Using
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Devin williams in the sense, of, hey we got to use.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Him he needs to be a big part of this playoff.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Bullpen or is it something that what he's done already
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: for the five months washes out anything That i'm THINKING
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: i can use him for the.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Playoffs.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah i've always been a big believer in what The
• 17:11
