Well, I feel like we can't escape the dream or nightmare of the past of these franchises.

I was thinking about this all day yesterday.

I was listening to the fan and on social media as well.

I'm Joel Sherman, a lot around the Yankees specifically, but I was thinking about the teams in general.

Because every time, like, I know the Yankees have struggled here.

And we understand that they have a lot of similar things

in common throughout the past. But it just feels like we can never just talk about the team.

Every time we talk about the Yankee struggles, it's like this every year.

Brian Cashman and the organization, this goes back to 2004. This is just a debacle.

Everyone needs to clean house.

How is this tolerated?

The same thing instead of just looking at this team.

And it's the same thing and going the other way too.

Like Aaron Boone, there's plenty of teams that are in the same position we are that have been worse than we are.

And we found a way like we never just break down like what's up with this team right now? Because as frustrating as the history of this team has been, right? And again, you're going back to the recent history. We talk about, oh, every year I've seen this movie play out. Every year we know what happens. Well, last year, the movie went longer than every other team except the Dodgers.

Like, they were in the World Series last year.

Who cares about their record in June or July when they're in Game 5 of the World Series? Like, that no longer means anything to me. Well, I think that's why yesterday felt cathartic, right? Yes, a little bit. It felt norm to see Will Warren take him into the summer for our backs to be batting, you know, for staying in Rice and all those guys to be able to kind of get us going, man. And even Chisholm hit one late. It felt like old Yankee baseball. Yeah, right? It felt like, all right, good pitching, power bats, beat the twins. It felt normal. It did. It did.

It was that, and I take very little away from it, to be totally honestly there. Like we talked about yesterday. With that said, no, I hear what you're saying. I'm just, my point, you're 100% right. It felt like the world was in the right place. It felt like this is Yankee baseball. They pound the twins. They hit home runs. They got a good pitching performance,

which is really to me, Will Warren and the way he pitched last night is the one thing you really

do come away with a positive feeling about. I think Will Warren did pitch a great game last night,

and the twins have some guys, and Buxton got him. And there is some, even though they traded away,

a 10th of, you know know a 10 guys out of a 26
