They win today, is it not actually a swoon?

Because it'll be 500 for the month.

Okay, let's start there, Tiki.

Will it actually be a swoon? So let me just say, I'm trying my best to be patient. Because I know the Yankees are going to the postseason. I know as bad as the spiral has been. The American League is bad. And that's what we keep leaning on. And I know that the Yankees have had a ton of injuries and reinforcements are coming.

But you bring up a great question, Tiki.

If the Yankees win today, is it all that bad because they'll be 500? How about we go glass half empty? Okay. This from Katie Sharp in the last four years for June. 2003, the Yankees were 11 and 12. 2004, the Yankees were 14 and 13. Last year, the Yankees were 13 and 14. This year, they're at 12 and 13. So why do I give you all those records in June? Because it sounds like this is par for the course? Well, first of all, they're almost all identical. However, for all the talk about June's swoons in recent Yankee history,, not once did they finish a June more than one game under 500?

Meaning, if the Yankees lose tonight to Tarek Scobble, they will be two games under 500 as June ends, meaning this is actually the worst of all the June swoons, and it felt like it was going to be the best June I'm going to tell you, now that I think about this after you said all of that, it makes me feel

like the June swoon, the epicness of it is so overrated.

It's just 500 baseball.

It's 500 baseball.

It's average baseball.

And that happens at points in baseball because we know why.

It's baseball, Susan.

Right? At the end of the day, though, this Yankee team will find a way to stabilize.

I didn't know if I, I didn't realize this until I read the notes this morning that this is the, this will be today, the 15th straight game, 15th straight day that they played.

They play 16 in this

in this stretch here where they don't have a day off and so some of the effects that

we're seeing are listless at-bats we're seeing errors in the field and part of that

just becomes from fatigue like imagine doing something awesome, but also as grinding as a nine-inning baseball game over and over and over and over and over and over. Eventually, you just need a break. Eventually, you just need a day where you're like, I need to chill. And the Yankees haven't had it. Now, I'm making an excuse for them. Yeah. But it's what makes me feel okay about this June swoon.

All right. Like, I hear what you're saying, but they still kick the ball all over the place on Friday night in Boston. This is five games later. We weren't quite at 16 straight days without a day off. That's true. That's normal baseball stuff. So I hear what you're saying. really more talking about the hitting?

All right. Because they're not hitting.

Well, this, okay, yes. And this is also, Katie Sharp does a great job. Sharp stat 17, Twitter, and X. The Yankees are the first team in Major League Baseball since 1898 to have a four-game span with at least 38 strikeouts, 12 or less hits, and eight or less walks combined.
