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