| 0:00.0 | We wake up this morning, we have two teams in first place. |
| 0:02.3 | Oh, yeah. |
| 0:02.8 | How about that? How about that? And, you know, there are a couple issues that both teams are having right now. There's no question about that. I love the Ahmad Rosario thing because that's exactly what you want. You want your debt pieces being a part of the success of your team. You don't want guys languishing at the end of the bench not being a part of |
| 0:21.3 | something, but it does present an issue for Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees, because obviously |
| 0:27.6 | Ryan McMahon is extremely struggling. The other guy who happens to be struggling in New York right |
| 0:33.4 | now is a guy that we all like. We all like them. You like Benj. Oh, yeah, of course. I said I like Benj. |
| 0:40.9 | Yeah. Al said he liked Benj. I think that Eddie said he liked Benj. I did. And Jerry said he like |
| 0:46.6 | Benj. And Benj looks a little overwhelmed to me right now. Sure. And he is not, you know, |
| 0:52.0 | it would have been, it was a great story coming out of spring training. He may need a reset. I'm not sure. I'm not sure what's going to do, but, you know, I don't want to dwell on the negative, but I'm just saying this kid is getting off to a really, really slow start. After game one against the pirates, it's been an adventure for him. Now, he still steals bases. He still |
| 1:12.2 | gets on base via the walk. But he is just, to me, it looks like he's a little bit overwhelmed. |
| 1:17.3 | But that's, you know, that's a rookie. And hopefully it will turn for him sooner than later. |
| 1:22.9 | Or if they feel like he just needs to get more quality at bats, get his confidence back, you know, maybe there's a shift coming. And it was great for running Maricio yesterday, too, as well. Oh, yeah. I mean, because, you know, he was a bad of the year. Very disappointed going down, coming back, and then having a big moment yesterday. You know, these are twists and turns of an MLB season for sure for both of these teams, but, you know, there are kind of little hiccups along the way that we're going to have to deal with and they're going to have to deal with. And these are a couple of those situations. The Yankee situation is a little bit different because, you know, Ahmed Rosario is a, you know, he's a veteran. You know what he's going to give you. |
| 2:01.0 | Sure. And he's not a bad third baseman, for sure. But he's, you know, he's a better hitter than Ryan McMahon without question. |
| 2:08.8 | Yeah, I mean, and he's not going to hit two home runs every night. But, you know, we've seen a lot of him, Ed Rosario, throughout the years. |
| 2:15.3 | And he's certainly a more than capable bench player and maybe |
| 2:19.4 | he plays himself into the starting lineup. I mean, if you could play shortstop at a high level, |
| 2:24.4 | you should be able to play third base at a high level. And Ryan McMahon is an elite defender |
| 2:29.2 | over there, but the guy, you know, is a, you know, 180 to 220 hitter. |
| 2:34.6 | What we've seen from him since he's come over in the trade at the deadline last year. |
| 2:39.7 | And, you know, speaking of defense, it really is amazing to me. |
| 2:42.7 | Some of the terrible defense I have seen to start this season. |
| 2:46.5 | And just some examples last night, another Francisco Lindoror error that should have never happened. |
