Summary

BT and Sal are refusing to get excited about the Yankees' latest win, arguing it's just another instance of "bully ball" that gives a false sense of hope. They dismiss the victory against a struggling Twins pitcher as a meaningless, temporary fix that doesn't address the team's fundamental problems. The co-hosts insist that this win, built on home runs and against weak competition, is a distraction from the larger issues of a flawed roster, poor baserunning, inconsistent pitching, and a broken organizational culture that has persisted for years.

I don't want to be this guy who doesn't appreciate a win, but at least I've got to contextualize the win for me.

Last night's win means nothing to me from a Yankee perspective. We've seen this a million times. Number one, the kid going for the twins last night, Zeggy Matthews, whatever his name is. He's made 13 career starts, he's got an ERA over six. So he's still fined his way. And even aside from that, like the fact that the way the Yankees won, the blueprint last night, well, they have six runs, they had four home runs. We've seen this before. You know, it's a version of bully bowl. Take either a young pitcher who doesn't know how to pitch or an old pitcher whose stuff is diminished, knock them around, a little false confidence,

1:11.3

send a few over into the seats, and it generally kind of regenerates the Yankee Nation,

1:16.4

for lack of a better description. Not me. Not me. Like, again, I just, I don't look at last

1:21.6

night's win as anything that's going to change who I perceive them to be today. And more importantly,

1:27.0

what I think they can do in October.

1:28.5

Big deal. We've seen this a million times with this team. But, but we said the same thing last year. You remember, you and I were having the debate last year. It's the same thing, which is infuriating. And I heard some of what you saying yesterday, like, if it's not going to change, you know, If they don't fire cash, but whatever, nothing's going to change.

1:41.9

Understood.

1:42.4

But they did get to the World Series last year.

1:44.7

I'm not trying to make excuses.

1:45.8

You know that.

1:46.4

I didn't think they were any good.

1:47.8

They got to the world series last year i'm not trying to make excuses you know that i didn't think they were any

1:47.3

good they got to the world series i don't think they're built the right way i think their roster is a mess

1:51.6

i think almost everybody outside of the people who actually put the roster together believe that

1:58.0

yankee fans i don't care if you hate the yankees love thees, media fan, whatever. I think we could all agree outside of the people who actually put the rosters together, it's not constructed the right way. But they still can have success. And the things that I would look at last night, like, yeah, it's infuriating jazz, hitting other meaningless Homer. Okay, congratulations. Whatever. Yeah, all the solo home runs congratulations but will warren very good again yeah and i've always liked will i
