You're going to win the division.

0:02.3

At the very least, you're going to the playoffs.

0:04.3

All else fails, and you collapse horribly.

0:06.8

You are going to the playoffs.

0:09.1

Okay, so the Yankees go five and one.

0:11.4

Whatever, and you go, worst case scenario.

0:14.0

Technically, you haven't clinched it yet, whatever.

0:16.1

Either way, there is something to play for next week.

0:18.5

So yesterday, Pomerant, who one of the big knocks on him when the trade went down,

0:26.0

was that he had never pitched like basically a full season.

0:30.7

His inning total for seasons was very low.

0:36.1

And they weren't sure that he could handle a entire season,

0:39.2

which is proving to be accurate this year as his velocity has gone down,

0:45.2

and there's no other explanation for that except for that it's arm fatigue.

0:49.0

1:10.7

Yeah.

1:10.9

I think his velocity is down, was it four miles per hour? Like it was like an average of in the last three weeks it is decreased by two or three, whatever it is. He's an 89 last night. His arm is fatigued. Okay. So you got that going on. He's supposed to be your second starter. He lasted just over two innings last night.

1:28.4

Right.

1:28.7

And manager John struck again last night. And by the way, I don't care if you give him seven days off. It's not like all of a sudden he's going to be fresh as a daisy, but nonetheless. So then you have Nunez who's been very important to this team. Mm-hmm. And he gets up and he can't put any weight on his back foot.

1:46.7

Yes, he caught a spike. and he gets up and he can't put any weight on his back foot.
