00:00Scottie, nobody was more down on the Yankees, maybe aside from our pal Mike Carver.

00:05But aside from Mike Carver, me, right?

00:07Like they were disastrous for about seven or eight weeks.

00:11They had one of the worst records in the American League from Father's Day until the end of

00:15July.

00:16But that Boston Saturday night win down to their last strike, getting the big game tying

00:22hit from Grisham and winning that game, it kind of has been a springboard for them since

00:27they've won three consecutive series.

00:30You mentioned the idea of getting Jazz Chisholm and kind of lengthening out the lineup and

00:34the fact that they're young guys are finally giving them a boost.

00:38Austin Wells has played really well.

00:40Volpe, who was kind of symbolic for the Yankees season as a whole, because when they were

00:45going great in April, he was going great.

00:47When they stunk up the joint, he stunk up the joint.

00:50And since he's been hitting again, down at the bottom of the order, not putting as much

00:54pressure on him, all of a sudden the Yankees have taken off.

00:58You need guys other than judge and Soto to go and compliment this lineup.

01:03But I think the fact that the Yankees survive this nightmarish stretch from June into July,

01:09Scotty, I thought the Orioles would be more aggressive at the deadline.

01:13I don't love what I've seen from them over the last few weeks.

01:17And I kind of think it's there for the taking.

01:19I think the Yankees at this point in time are going to find a way to win the American

01:23League East, which is something, by the way, I wouldn't have said a month ago.

01:26No chance.
