00:00but not the best week for Bryce Harper.
00:02And, you know, George, I mean, Philadelphia has lost a couple in a row.
00:05I mean, maybe sitting Harper even some more is kind of the right thought process here.
00:10I mean, I hate to say it's like NBA load management,
00:12but this is a guy that you want for the end of the year,
00:14and now is not really important.
00:16Hit under 100 this week.
00:18Yeah, I can't agree with you there.
00:19I think you're right.
00:20You've got to get him healthy.
00:21You've got to get him back here.
00:22Now, he didn't know, but he was out of the lineup last night as well
00:24with a sore elbow, all right?
00:26So that hit by pitch is, which is by Strider, by the way,
00:30and some Phillies were upset about this, it's definitely lingering here.
00:35So you've got to get him right.
00:36You can't bring him back too early.
00:37He's got to sit out the weekend.
00:38He's got to sit out the weekend, right?
00:39And you've got to get him back to 100% here.
00:41So, you know, what are you going to do?
00:43Listen, he's on my team.
00:45He's in my lineup.
00:46It's really that simple here.
00:47Maybe I've got to make a tougher choice come Monday.
00:49I don't know if they play Monday, but come lineup deadline time,
00:52if I hear he, you know, if I'm not sure he's going to be in,
00:54do I want to keep him out the whole week in a weekly lineup?
00:57Maybe I do.
00:58You know, even if he does play, maybe he's not going to perform for me,
01:00especially if I have a decent backup first baseman utility
01:03that I can use instead of him.
01:05Paul Goldschmidt.
01:06Eventually, things were going to fall a little bit for Goldie.
01:09I mean, he's been incredible all year.
01:12So, you know, Jazz comes back.
01:14He goes crazy.
01:15Goldschmidt goes down the other way.
01:16Yankees live with it.
01:17Man, I mean, the Yankees have had this really fortunate season.
01:20You know, sometimes, George, teams get cold all at once.
01:23Teams get hot all at once, you know.
01:25But for the Yankees, they've been really lucky.
01:27It's been a combination.
01:28When Judge has been hot, others haven't.
01:30When he's gone cold, other guys have gotten hot.
01:32That's a good recipe to get the lineup consistent.
01:35Yeah, you're right.
01:36The Yankees always seem to have two batters hitting well.
01:39All right.
01:39Maybe four or five aren't, but two are hitting well,
01:41and it's carrying the team somewhat.
01:43I'm the first person to tell you,
01:44watching Yankee games generally is not a lot of fun.
01:46They're kind of a boring team.
01:48Listen, I hate to say this,
01:49but the Mets are a much more exciting team to watch if you go for that.
01:51But Goldtruth, like I said, now the question is,
01:54is it just a slump in baseball?
01:56It happens.
01:57He did hit a home run last night.
01:58It was a Yankee Stadium home run.
02:00First row, right field.
02:01Definitely one that will.
02:03I think it would have been out one other ballpark.
02:05And for the life of me, I'm trying to –
02:07I think it was two of 30.
02:09But I'm trying to figure out what the other ballpark is.
02:12It's Yankee Stadium.
02:13First row.
02:14What about ball – I mean, Colorado?
02:16Maybe.
02:16Maybe the same Colorado would have gone out with a thin air.
02:18So, just curious about that.
02:21But with Goldtruth, you're trying to figure out.
02:22Is it just a little slump here, or is it last year again,
02:26where he was bad for two-thirds, three-quarters of the season?
02:28As a Yankee fan, I'm really hoping it's just a little slump.
02:32Back to Texas we go.
02:33I mean, why Langford is going to hit 20,
02:35and he's going to drive in probably 70, maybe more.
02:39I don't know.
02:39I mean, the batting average is just down across the league.
02:42Sometimes it's hard to identify.
02:43Another tough week for him, though.
02:44So, under 225 now, I believe, for the season, George.
02:49I think the problem with Langford is that not a lot of runners on base
02:52in front of him, right?
02:53Nobody is hitting there, and you probably wanted more than 20, 70, right?
02:56Langford was a top prospect coming into last year, right?
02:59A lot of ballyhoo there.
03:00So, I'm definitely a little worried here.
03:02Plus, that ballpark is not conducive to hitting.
03:04All right.
