Gleman and the Geek show

The Yankees are out of the playoffs edition I'm John Bottes of Twinsdaily.com with me Aaron Gleman in the Geek Show. The Yankees are out of the playoffs edition. I'm John Bones, and Trinistdaily.com. Aaron Gleeman of Theathletic.com. So, yeah, I have a fun Yankees that. Well, how fun is the wrong word to use, but it's a Yankee stat. Yeah, as I watched last night. So we should say it's Sunday, early afternoon. Late morning, whatever. Late morning. Yeah, I watched the Yankees. I was a great series, by the way. It was a great series. Well, if you're an Astros fan. I was watching it with a Yankee fan, or there was a Yankee fan at the bar next to me where I was watching last night. He did not think it was a great series.

They heard... The Astros did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, right.

I thought you said the Yankees did.

No.

There's a couple BPs in the Yankees front office, too. But they had Kevin Goldstein, who was the BP... Minor league coordinator or main minor league guy. And now he's like third in command there. And then they also hired a guy named Colin Wires, who was the sort of main database behind-the-scenes stat guy for BP.

They have an analytics department and research and development.
