It's the Mike Francesa podcast on the Bet Rivers Network.

Hello again, everybody, and welcome to the Mike Francesa podcast, part of the BetRivers Network.

We join you after the Yankees finished what was a wonderful trip, pre-holiday trip to Toronto.

Four games, four losses the first time.

In 28, this was the 28th four game series that the Yankees

have ever played in Toronto. They had never been swept four straight in the other 27.

They now have been swept. And, you know, last night after the game turned on the manager, and there sat the usually sunny,

and he usually finds a way to spread a little sunshine after even a bad loss.

And Boone sat there and said, you know what, we're a really good team.

And that's a big part of the problem. Now, this is not all about Aaron Boone. And you know what? Everyone always wants to fire the manager every time a team gets in trouble. And this team now is officially in trouble, especially if Schmidt is hurt. And I hawking back to the fools. I'll leave it at fools who wanted him to come

out and pitch the eighth inning of a of a no hit try, having already thrown 103 pitches,

having had army problems earlier in the year. And now he could be facing from, if you listen to the room,

of serious arm issues after this evening. There's a feeling that this is more than just a sore

forearm. So we'll see what happens with him. And the Yankees can't really have another pitcher go down,

especially one who was showing the promise he was showing earlier in the season.

But that just is your put the finishing touch on the clowns who wanted him to come out

and throw more pitches that night in chasing a no hitter.

I mean, just so so ridiculous that it boggles the mind.

But that's that's old stuff.

Where we are now is this team has not only falling out of the first, it has now completed more than a month of just terrible baseball.

The Yankees are six and 14 in their last 20 games.

Six and 14.
