So, Craig, I want to ask you the question from this perspective.
00:06
What is the bigger story in your mind?
00:08
The Yankees looking to pull off the sweep and get their AL best 26th win of the year
00:13
or the Astros potentially falling to 13 games below 500 if they are not victorious tonight
00:20
in the Bronx.
00:21
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that the Yankees have overachieved and maybe for some that's
00:27
not the case.
00:28
But generally speaking, you're always going to think the Yankees are good.
00:31
The odds makers are always going to make them favorites to win divisions, win pennants and
00:36
win World Series or close to it.
00:38
You know, but I don't think that that is the big story here, although they've performed
00:42
probably six, seven games above where they're supposed to be right now.
00:46
The story is definitely the fact that we have to wonder at this point as we're closing in
00:51
on Memorial Day, whether or not the Astros simply their reign is over in the American
00:56
League.
00:57
And I think it's still too early to say that because the seven, eight game winning streak
01:00
puts them right back in.
01:01
As I've said before, all that team needs to do is get to the postseason.
01:05
And then historically, they'll have Frambois Valdez and Verlander and the kid who's pitching
01:08
today.
01:09
Blanco has been really good, too.
01:11
But we're getting close to that time where you sort of have to wonder.
01:15
And as we talked about previously on the show, I mean, Jose Altuve is doing his job, but
01:19
there are a lot of others who are not.
01:21
I mean, Abreu is in the minor leagues.
01:23
My guy, Alex Bregman, he's a free agent at the end of the season.
01:25
I thought he'd be an MVP candidate because that's, you know, the kind of makeup that
01:29
this guy has.
01:30
A plus.
01:31
But it hasn't worked out for him.
01:32
Peña hasn't been as good as he was a couple of years ago.
01:36
And just simply put, the juice is kind of gone, it looks like for them.
01:40
I mean, is it fair to say Dusty Baker meant that much to this team?
01:43
I don't know.
01:44
But right now, there's no other finger to point at this point.
