| 0:00.0 | I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie. |
| 0:04.0 | Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy? |
| 0:08.0 | Oh God. |
| 0:10.0 | Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power, embarrassing Eddie, makes way for sensible Samuel. |
| 0:15.0 | Cool, that was close. |
| 0:16.0 | You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver. |
| 0:19.0 | Because with Paddy's Super Sub, your bet rolls over to the player coming on. Paddy Power. Valid on selected leagues and |
| 0:24.3 | markets only. Pre-match and in-play bets on qualifying player outcome selections only. T's and |
| 0:27.8 | exclusions apply. 18 plus scumannware.commonware. Dot. Judge is still quite not himself. Stanton's cooled off from his hot start. Rice is kind of the one guy that's consistently being good, but he cooled off in this series. So overall, there's no doubt about it. If you're looking at this team, yeah. If you're going to consider this shilly, then I'll be this shilly. They're 8 and 4. Overall, the pitching's been excellent. And this is an offensive team. The A's are not a good baseball team. |
| 0:55.4 | The A's are not, the A's longer got swept by the A's. |
| 0:58.5 | No, they damn near got swept by the Ayes. That's right. If not for the two home runs yesterday. Well, don't play that game. Or two days get out of there. Because if Judge comes through the base hit, then they win two out of three. Damn near got swept by a bad baseball. |
| 1:08.3 | An average baseball team, let me fair. |
| 1:09.9 | I think they're better than bad. |
| 1:11.1 | 17 innings, though, with only two hits? |
| 1:13.5 | No, no doubt. |
| 1:14.2 | Like, if you lose 6'5 because you're pitcher at an off night, okay, I can accept that. I'm not going to be happy about it, but I can accept it. But 17 consecutive innings of scoreless baseball? Like, I don't know. Look, they've given Weather's got zero run support. Right? It's a guy. But eight innings, one run. Yeah. That's a great start from Weather's. Great start. So that's a major positive reminds me of Jacob de Grom with the Mets. Well, I don't know about that, but he's a guy who really, he struggled to finish off batters in his first couple starts, was kind of all over the place, couldn't go deep into the game, and today he completely went through a lineup that has gotten off to a bad start, but you look at this A's team. Yeah. Like, that's a good lineup. I would have been, I'd be less upset today. I'd be less upset today if the Yankees scored a ton of runs runs and that A's team scored a ton of runs to beat them. |
| 2:02.2 | Because I think the offensive is pretty good. |
| 2:04.1 | No, the offense is pretty good. I'm not sold on the A's, but that's not the argument to you anyway. The argument is what the F happened to the Yankee offense. But again, it hasn't been good all here. At home, by the way. It has not been good all year. And my memory is these are the games the Yankees usually dominate. |
| 2:17.4 | Those getaway games at Yankee Stadium. |
| 2:20.3 | You know, the one o'clock starts, day games. Just my memory of it, as always, I always take the Yankees to win those games. But what it, I mean, I'm sorry, I'm not going to overstate it. There's nothing to overstate. The offense went cold, the Yankees is rating four. You can't sit here and be like, yeah, we're 8 and 4 all good. It ain't all good. It's that. |
| 2:37.5 | It's 12 games. There's nothing to overstate. The offense went cold. But you can't sit here and be like, yeah, we're 8 in 4 all good. |
| 2:35.6 | It ain't all good. It's not. It's 12 games into the season. But it's not all good. No, it's not all good. The offense is struggle, but there's some key things instead of just the offense stinks because that's it's just nonsense, right? The offense does stink. Through 12 games. It's the offense that scored the most runs in baseball last year. |
