00:00Austin Wells didn't, and I thought that, you know, first catcher to hit a home run, a lead-off
00:06home run in Major League history, it was crazy.
00:08First time the Yankees have ever started a catcher in the lead-off spot, the guy comes
00:12out and jacks one into the seats in the short porch, and then I thought Belly had a decent
00:18debut and they won the game, and a lot of people, I think, are, you know, prematurely
00:25writing them off.
00:27Like, I heard a lot of people say they're not even making the playoffs this year, and
00:31I've even heard more people say that the Red Sox are going to the East, and I'm not buying
00:36any of that.
00:37You know, it's funny you say that, because I just talked to, I did an interview yesterday
00:41where somebody was predicting the Red Sox to win, and I'm like, hold on, let's settle
00:45down.
00:46You know, look, the Red Sox, what I give them credit for right now, Scott, I'm not going
00:51to pence them to win the division yet, let's see how they do.
00:54What I give the Red Sox credit for, and this sounds like silly, I give them credit for
00:59actually trying this year.
01:01I mean, the past five years, what have they been doing?
01:03They trade Mookie Betts to the Dodgers, they don't sign him, they try to play the Tampa
01:08Bay Rays.
01:09Yeah, terrible.
01:10They try to play the Tampa Bay Rays' small money game, you know, and that's not Boston.
01:17I mean, you can, the tenets have shrunk, and Red Sox fans have become phatic.
01:21I mean, not only have they not won, but they haven't, you know, it's like the ownership
01:26had lost interest and paid more attention to their soccer team than the Red Sox, and
01:31the fans started, you know, voicing displeasure by not showing up.
01:35So look, all credit to them for signing Alex Bregman, trading for Garrett Croce, you know,
01:42nice opener yesterday, the Red Sox did.
01:45But you know, the road still leads through New York for my money, for the American League
01:51East title.
01:52Now, Baltimore with their young talent, you know, maybe Tampa Bay playing their analytics
01:58game can surprise everybody again.
02:00But yeah, I agree, the Yankees have taken a hit with Garrett Cole being out for the
02:04season.
02:05You know, Louis Heal opening on the injured list isn't good.
02:10But yeah, let's just chill for a minute.
02:13There's still 162 games left, Ryan Cashman has made some moves in the past to position
02:18this team to win.
02:20And you know, I would expect they'll do something at the trade deadline or whatever.
02:25I don't think this team, this Yankees team we see today is the team is the Yankees roster
02:31we're going to see on September 30.
02:33I think there'll be some changes.
02:35They've got enough talent in the meantime to at least keep it going.
02:38I don't see anybody in that American League East that's ready to just fly by the Yankees
02:43yet.
