Buy yourself segment, yes or no, we go on a relieving, whatever you want to call it.
00:04
Let's start off, George, with Devin Williams will be the Yankees' closer when the playoffs start.
00:11
Are you buying or are you selling?
00:12
Well, first of all, I guess we should tell you the Yankee game tonight was rained out.
00:16
Sort of breaking news there from our producer, Sam.
00:19
Apparently they're going to be made up, the game will be made up as a doubleheader tomorrow.
00:22
So a lot of Yankee baseball tomorrow.
00:24
So my day is just ruined.
00:25
Thank you so much for the Yankees.
00:27
So another rain out here in the Northeast.
00:29
A lot of rain here.
00:30
There's a couple of doubleheaders today.
00:31
Devin Williams, they don't have a choice anymore.
00:35
All right.
00:36
He needs to be, he can't be the closer.
00:38
You go back to Luke Weaver here.
00:40
That's not the question here, though.
00:43
Hey, by the way, we're assuming here the Yankees make the playoffs.
00:46
So in some ways, the answer here is, hey, sell.
00:49
The Yankees may not make the playoffs.
00:50
They're not a great team.
00:51
They're barely a good team here.
00:54
And they have suffered any other injuries to the starting pitching staff.
00:57
I mean, come on.
00:57
I know Carrasco pitched last night and he pitched well, but he's not a major league starter at
01:02
this point.
01:03
Stroman coming back.
01:03
Who cares?
01:04
Maybe he'll come back and he pitches well somewhere in June, but a lot needs to go right
01:09
for the Yankees here.
01:10
Devin Williams will be the closer for the Yankees in the playoff start.
01:12
He shouldn't be it now.
01:13
He should be removed here.
01:15
I'm going to buy this.
01:16
All right.
01:16
I think he will be fixed.
01:18
He's too good to be this awful all season long.
01:21
What is the ERA?
01:21
11.25?
01:22
This is a joke, a bad joke at that.
01:25
Now, I don't have Williams anywhere, so it's not killing me, but it's annoying as the Yankee
01:29
fan that he can't get.
01:30
I mean, it's just, it's awful.
01:31
It's atrocious.
01:32
But that being said, I'll buy this.
01:34
He will be the closer if and when the Yankees make the playoffs.
01:37
They'll get him fixed.
01:38
They better.
01:39
Right.
01:39
I would buy it that he will be the closer.
01:42
Even if he's not as bad as he is, he's simply due for just some natural regression,
01:48
you know, an ERA up at 11, like even if he's not the closer he was years ago, then it'll
01:53
still fall back down to earth just because of the variance of baseball.
01:56
So I will certainly be buying that.
01:58
And again, if you need to move Luke Weaver to that spot, mix things up, whatever it might
02:01
be.
