We are breaking down all aspects of Yankee baseball.

This is the Bronx Pinshtrap Show with your host, Andrew Rotundi and Scott Reining.

Let's go!

What is up everybody! Welcome to the Bronx Pinshtrap Show of the last episode of the unofficial first half of the season before the All-Star break brought to you today by Oakley for one final time.

They have established themselves as these sunglasses company made for activities but they also have eye everyday eyewear as well.

Go check them out, Oakley.com. You will not be disappointed.

I am disappointed however Scott.

In the Yankees once again on the final day before the All-Star break, I feel like in seven years, eight years doing this podcast,

six out of the eight we have done an episode the night before the All-Star break where we're like, you know, that was pretty terrible.

Yeah, why can't they just go in with a head of steam and be like, you know, this is going to be a nice little cap off of a good first half.

We're all excited. Need the break. We're going to celebrate. Relax a little bit and get fired up for the second half. Maybe a new guy will be added.

You know, I don't know if we've ever had that to be honest since we've been doing this year right.

Like this has been a pain point in each season it seems like and we're all like, well hopefully they'll turn the corner last year.

I guess last year if you look at it, they were, they were at least playing really well for the majority of the first half.

But that ended quickly.

Yeah, man, it's just, you know, it's one of those things that's difficult and not fun to walk into an All-Star break when your, when your team is reeling a little bit,

losing two or three, you should have won today. No doubt about it. Should have won today.

And that flips the script a little bit, but at the same time, it's like, you know, I know we're going to talk about the news and all these things,

but you get you get a you get a scapegoat firing on the last day of the first half with with with loss and getting can as the hitting coach.

You know, it just it just it just feels like at this point you're they're doing everything, but but taking care of the actual problem.

One of the problems, the probably the biggest problem in my eyes.

And this is something we've been saying for three plus years now in that ceremony.
