We are breaking down all aspects of Yankee baseball.

This is the Bronx Pinstripe Show with your host, Andrew Rotandi and Scott Riding.

Let's go.

What's up everybody?

Welcome to the Bronx Pinstripe SRIred Show. Quick PSA before we get going.

For tomorrow's event, if you are coming, tickets are being transferred today, Friday, as you're listening to this, don't worry.

We didn't forget and you did not get bamboozled. The tickets are real and we will be transferring them.

And the t-shirts

will be handed out at the pregame party or at the inside the game as long as security at Gate

8 still does not give a crap. Neil, you're filling in for Scott. Welcome to the show, man.

Thanks. Thanks for having me. Yeah, it's been a while, but it's always good to fill in when Scott's on vacation or traveling or whatever he's doing. That is the voice of Neil Keefe, Keith to the city. I'm sure you guys have seen him complaining about Aaron Boone or Aaron Hicks or somebody on Yankees Twitter. We always do our annual over unders at the start of the season. I go on your show and we do that.

And there's always a fun, Aaron Hicks. How many games is he going to play over under? For some reason, you always take the over, even though you always want him to play the under. I don't really understand it. But this was the last year. We're going to be able to do that. Are you a little sad? I am. I mean, the under hits. so cashless tickets if you had the under because he's not playing baseball,

at least not for the Yankees again. So yeah, I mean, I'm not sad because

I think about all the time. I wasted watching the guy, writing about him, talking about him. And it's

just, it's good that it came to an end. So now all of our Iyer can go to Josh Donaldson when he comes back

soon. Yeah. So I read something you wrote about Aaron Hicks and you were like, I'm glad he's gone,

but also weird timing for the Yankees. Yeah, it was weird because this is a movie that should

have been made at the latest this past off season,

but really in seasons prior. So I was against, if you go back to Keeps the C.com, I ripped

the extension when it happened back in 2019. And it's been a disaster ever since. So yeah,

the timing is weird because in late January, you had Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone tell the media that this, that they believed in him. The player they think he is is still in there. He still has all the tools. They gave him 76 at bats to completely change their mind on that. So you went into this season thinking he's your starting left field there. He wasn't. He was atrocious. He was horrible. And then the last 20 plate appearances,

he actually finally started hitting and then they let him go. So the whole thing is bizarre.
