0:00.0	Thank you. Defensive, that's the nothing personal word of the day. It is Thursday, July 24th,
0:40.3	2025. Today's episode is brought to you by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
0:48.8	A Thursday double entendre. Not a bad way to get toward the end of the week. Who's defensive? The Yankees.
0:58.2	They're offensive, actually. They went into Toronto, big series. Lost two out of three.
1:05.3	That could be the story. You may be coming to us for a recap of the game. Nah. Let's just talk about how defensive Aaron Boone is of his players.
1:15.3	We, back-to-back days covering Aaron Boone and the fact that on John Boy talking Yanks,
1:22.9	he looked unhinged and it bled into yesterday's game where he argued balls and strikes and got

2:16.4	Their defense is offensive, worse than the
2:19.5	Yankees. But the thing that the Yankees have, if you look closer, is they actually have a
2:25.4	problem with fielding percentage. They have a problem with positioning. And they have a problem that's
2:30.0	lasted more than this season, more than last season, if you remember the World Series
2:35.5	Against the Dodgers.
2:37.3	This has been an issue with this team for a long time.
2:42.1	And it's an issue that Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone are more than happy to ignore,
