00:00The Mets, despite losing 14 of their last 18 games,

00:04still better than the Yankees by a half game,

00:06really a full game in that win column, 49 and 38.

00:10The Yanks have now dropped 13 of their last 19.

00:14They no longer are in the lead by themselves

00:16in the American League East.

00:18DRS, neither team playing well at the tail end of June.

00:22How do you feel about where these two teams stand

00:24at the moment?

00:25Okay, I feel okay about it.

00:27Am I in love with where they've been?

00:28No, because quite frankly,

00:30both of them look like they were in a position

00:31to maybe run away with their divisions

00:33and gotten caught and surpassed at this point.

00:35And the AL East is ultra competitive.

00:37The NL East is the Philadelphia Phillies

00:39and the New York Mets going toe-to-toe the rest of the summer.

00:41We have so many different teams now.

00:43And quite frankly, like the AL East, it's like,

00:46And the Orioles are not even like an afterthought

00:48in that division.

00:51Toronto playing good baseball, like Tampa,

00:54even Boston is starting to wake up and say,

00:55hey guys, we might be at 500 sooner than later.

00:58But for me, it's expectations that we're not exceeded

01:02because they would be if the Yanks had a five-game lead

01:05or that's to say the Mets had a five-game lead.

01:07They're right where we probably thought

01:08they would be in the mix here,

01:10but where we were to where we are now,

01:12you get sort of a downgrade

01:13on both of these teams right now.

01:14That's all.

01:15But they're playing decent baseball.

01:16There's no doubt about it.

01:17That's what you can ask for.

01:17That's all you can ask for.
