Hey everyone, it's Boomer and Gio, and if you're into New York sports or you want straight talk about what's really going on in the sports world, Boomer and Geo is your show. We're covering it all. Yankees wins, Giants drama, national headlines, and whatever chaos the day brings on the field and all. No filler, no filters, just real conversation. And believe me, plenty of laughs every weekday morning. We don't hold back and we don't waste your time.

We get to what actually matters.

That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. To Seattle without a day off is the, I'm sure, road wearie manager of the Yankees, Joe Gerardi. Joe, welcome. How are you? I'm good, Mike. How are you? All right, Joe. I heard you say yesterday. You think your team is about the pop that they got said? I do. Why so? Our bullpen seems to be getting on a roll. Our starters have pitched better. And I just think offensively, you know, we're going to start scoring some runs. We're starting to get everyone back healthy, and I just feel good about it. Joe, how frustrating to manage yourself and do a bunch of situations over the last month, only to have your star end of the bullpens blow the games for you? Well, I mean, it's part of the game, and you know it's going to happen during the course of a season.

You know, you hope that maybe they all don't have struggle at the same time, but we did.

But, I mean, even the greatest closers, you know, they blow three, four, five, six, seven saves a year, and it's going to happen.

And it's just part of the game, and you've got to rebound from it.

Do you feel you have gotten Batances and Chapman back on solid footing?

Do you feel confident the two of them right now?

Well, I still think they can get better than what they've done.

You know, I think Delon has, you know, he's gotten more on track, and I think Chapman has,

but I still think

they can even be better than they've been.

Why is Chapman not getting swing and misses anymore?

You know, I think that he's just, I think part of it he's getting in long counts, and

it's been primarily one speed, so I think guys kind of get used to it.

He hasn't mixed his pitches.

He hasn't been where he's thrown like three fastballs in a row for strikes and gotten a guy out.

They're two, two, three two.

And longer counts, eventually guys are going to catch up.

Severino this evening, as you start in Seattle, it's been a long time since you won a series.

Has your team, has this young group, and really a mixture, which is what you have,

has this group lost any confidence over this last 30 games, which have been tough?
