That's Bummer. 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.

He's in Houston as we get ready and MLB will be there before and after the game.

And I know no one in New York has because when you lose in the ALCS or the NLCS, your team, your city just shuts down. It just does. And the last thing you want to do is watch baseball. I understand that. But, you know, this series might actually be fun. I know it's going to take New York a couple of days to get into it because it was heartbreaking in game six and everything. First of all, before I get to the World Series, Mark, give me a thought on the ALCS.

Yeah, I thought for me, some interesting moves by Aaron Boone, some interesting lineup construction, some interesting situations.

I was sitting there watching with a bunch of former players, and we went back and forth.

It was 50-50 on should-you-walk-al-tuve in that spot with Mariznick on deck.

But the bottom line is they were all this Chapman.

You've got to trust the fact. He's got a hundred-mile hour fastball. He just threw one of the most devastating sliders, 2-0 to get back in the count. We just didn't think he was going to roll a pitch, probably the worst pitch he threw all season, just going to roll a slider to one of the greatest titters in the game. So I just think everybody was stunned.

And when it comes to it, such a halt, it's hard to get over. But like you said,

well, how about this? The Yankees went too far. And all year, I can tell you, their brain trust,

quote unquote, which now makes lineups, as you know, not managers who make

lineups.

They believed in Encarnacion to the bitter end, and they went too far with them.

He should not have been back in the lineup.

Oh, I think they loved them.

Yeah, I think they loved them.

No, no, I think Stanton was damaged good, but let's be honest, let's be honest.
