brian cashman and john smoltz to susan who's here now sus Susan, welcome. How are you? Nice to see you.

I'm good. Great to be here.

Nice to see you. Now, I said to cash, I said, it had to be a long time. When you're that far in front, the postseason seems like it took forever to get here. Did it seem like that for you? Oh, my goodness, yes. That's how it seemed to me.

It seemed like, my God, it's only August, it's only this, only that.

Particularly the last week.

In Tampa where it's 120 in, it's only this, only that. Particularly the last week.

In Tampa where it's 120 in Texas, which is a nightmare anyway. It was 100 degrees you couldn't breathe. All they were doing was having auditions for all the people in the bullpen. It just went on and on and on, and here we are. All right. Tell me your view of this team. It's been an interesting season.

You've had a lot of guys step in.

New faces like LeMew Cash just talked. here we are. All right. Tell me your view of this team. It's been an interesting season.

You've had a lot of guys step in. New faces like Lemieux. Cash just told me about how he had to be prodded by his guys to take LaMayu. Is that amazing? How he got Oshela. You're good with stories on these guys. Tell me about these guys who are first year Yankees now. Paxton's another one who's never pitched in the postseason.

What about these guys on stage tonight?

Well, this is really interesting. LeMayhew is as good as it gets. And when he came over here, didn't have a job. Don't forget, had no job. They didn't know where he was going to play. Everybody I knew in Colorado says you're going to talk to him for two minutes, he's going to be your favorite player. He's an old-stool kind of guy.

He doesn't care where he is playing and the first thing

he said to me which made me smile he hit I think a home run to win a game and it was an

02 count went the opposite way and I said how did you do that he said I hate to strike out

this is in a year where everybody says a strike, strikeouts an out is an out. And you go, no, it's not. But LeMay, you hated that. I agree. O'Shella, I found out about O'Shella, always loved him defensively. Frankie Lindor, they came up together. They are brothers. And O'Shella knew right from the beginning. He was a great defensive player, so that's what he did. He was blocked. He had Jason Kipnis, who had Jose Ramirez, and he certainly wasn't going to play shortstop. So he worked on his defense, didn't work on his offense. Frankie Lundor told me, I don't know why he stopped hitting. He always hit in the minor leagues. So they get him and cash, if he was truth of least, you said, they had no idea. No, he said, listen, he said, we were shocked by, he said to me, we were shocked by O'Ssela. We had no idea he would hit like this. He said, listen, he's put up, he's had almost a Mani Machado season. you know, we never expected anything like this. There's a reason.

When they got him, they sent him to Scranton where the hitting coach is Phil Plantier. Phil Plantar, if you remember, had that bottom half, yeah, for the Red Sox. But he had that, that, and he said to him, you're not using your bottom half. All of a sudden, he started using his legs in his bottom half. And Gio said, wow, I can hit. And John and I, in spring training, he came in and he was hitting home runs. I said to me, I saw him hit in spring training every day in the cage. I always thought he would hit once I saw him this year in spring training.
