Today is October 6th and the Yankees have lost game 1 of the ALDS

versus the Boston Red Sox. A lot of stuff happened in this game. Let's talk.

Alright, thank you guys very much for joining and listening to Talking Yankees. I know that this is a loss, so it's a bit of a downer, but you're still coming in and you want to talk.

I appreciate that. We appreciate it. We want to tell you who sponsored this show. We got four sponsors. You know, four Jake.

Four people sponsored this episode of Talking Yankees. I'm apologize that they sponsored a loss episode, but big shout out to Matthew Tucker, Chris Palmero, Adelaide. That's a fun name. Viguri and Jamie Rico and an apology to the guy who I said had a typo on his own name.

He got in touch with me, said I didn't typo my own name, which is his name. He's probably very used to writing it. So shout out to those guys there. Most recent Patreon supporters. It's $2 a month. We said last time October is going to be your biggest bang for your buck a month because we're going to do all these post games after every game.

And you can watch live. You can watch the video and you get your name put in a raffle for Jersey.

Four people for runs for we had more people who would have been more runs. Wow. There you go. All right. So we just hopped on the mics. Jake and I didn't talk at all.

I don't know his vibe after this loss and he doesn't know mine. So let's get into that right away.

I love and you're vibe. You're giving me headache vibes. Well, yeah, I'm I have a terrible terrible headache, which is.

But like you can't have a terrible headache and have a good vibe. No one's ever said that, you know, I know, but my vibe about the game is different than my vibe about my terrible headache.

Okay. Are you Twitter's a nightmare right now? My Instagram mentions are a nightmare right now. Nightmare, dude. Nightmare.

Like almost I was going to say something so mean. I want to. Are you on their side? Are you nightmare? Are you there's positive signs, but this sucks. Are you human? Are you annoyed? Are you what are what's your vibe right now?

I'm fine. I mean, it's it sucks. The Yankees had a lot of chances to win this game. They could have opened so much better. We're going to talk about that a lot.

But hey, don't if you want to blame this on James J. Hap. Don't. Don't because Labor Torres, Giancarlo, a lot of people had big at bats and big opportunities to do something in this game and they didn't do it either.

So yeah, did the Hap not bring it suck? Absolutely. But he got yanked pretty early, which that's a conversation too. And you know, you can't just start playing the guessing game. What if Hap throws a double play? What if Hap goes four more innings shut out? What if Hap goes two more innings and gets torched? You can't start playing that game either way.

So you've been seeing a lot of people blame in Hap. I haven't seen any.

Kidding. Yeah, man. I haven't seen I'm honest. I haven't seen any. I've seen 100% stand. No. Yeah, I don't know why that comes to you for some reason. But no, I mean.

Haps they went up five nothing in the third inning. And that was too much to overcome. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I think it's both. I mean, I don't ever I don't ever say one of the home run was the game though. If the start if anyone ever wants to blame a loss on a visual individual 99.9% of the time they're going to be wrong.

If there's one play that could have decided the game and they did something really stupid. Yes. And I think that's part of the problem. I think sport center and coaches have gotten away from actually doing that.

Because then you go back and you say, well, we'd never should have put ourself in that position. But you go, hey, if we stopped him on that fourth down or if the umpire called that third strike.
