Hey Alexa play 98.7 ESPN.

Peter Rosenberg, Rick D. Pietro, Dave Rothenberg, Don will hopefully be with me again shortly.

And we will hear from Steve Cohen shortly as well until then though.

Let's go back to the phone lines at 1-800-919-3776 and go to our friend. He's been on fire recently young Griffin from Connecticut. What's up Griff?

Hey, I don't know what to say. I don't understand the line of last night.

Go ahead. I just don't. And the one reason I don't understand is where was Glaver Tori?

Like, I know there's some Yankee fans that don't like him, but basically right now he's hitting.

Okay? Nobody else is in this line if he's hitting, but he couldn't be in the lobby yesterday because you need to rest him.

Well, rest him and on top of that, they want Donaldson to play third and that way you get Lemay, he would chance to play second.

I just, I understand that, but I just, I just don't get the point because right now the shop that's just completely struggling and he's hitting.

And you take out somebody that's been hitting and then you're putting in not hitting.

I think it's the way Griffin, first of all, it's the ace, right? And I think they were now DJ Lemay who hasn't, he hasn't been great, right?

But they have to try to get him going. So they thought it was a positive sign. He has that big double right? Hit the ball hard and is it bad?

So they're like, okay, let's try to get him going. Let's keep him playing. And then they told you Donaldson's going to play a lot.

So don't. I know. And another thing.

I don't know, but I feel like what I'm seeing from both of you is starting to be good. Why can't they move them up in the lineup?

The guy's hitting barely above 200, though.

But, but, but he has three hits yesterday. He's getting so one day. So Griffin, one, one day he has three hits and you want to move them up in the lineup?

Because he's getting good at fast and he's having hits. That was not just one day that he got three hits. He had a hit last time.

So he's getting hits over and over and over lately. And I just looking for some ways to get driving in runs right now when you have guys on base.

Where he's also working walks to where he could steal.
