I think that's fair to assume.

Right, and so if that's the case, then I'll put that aside for now.

But, I mean, I get...

I mean, if he's healthy to come off the IL, I feel like he's healthy enough to pinch it late in the ballgame.

Maybe that's less egregious for me than asking Ernie Clement, who has statistically been one of your best hitters this year, to bunt.

But still, I think those are the two points of this ballgame.

Late in the ballgame, outside of Andres Jimenez, what was it, grounding out with the bases loaded and then striking out with two on.

Outside of that, I think those are the two conscious decisions by John Schneider that I think most will have issue with.

Before we go to the phones, I did want to get to perhaps the lone positive, maybe one of two, if one is an Okamoto home run.

But Gosman today was phenomenal.

I mean, I got to say I was very impressed by him.

How could you not be?

There have been a couple starts this year where I think he's gotten six and two-thirds, but you get burned just by one more run than you –

You would want no runs, but generally speaking, it's just that one extra floater or slider or just run that comes in an inopportune time for Kevin Gosman.

And today, seven innings, one hit, the one run, which was the one mistake to Dominguez, two walks, seven Ks, 105 pitches, 66 strikes, a season high.

in both pitches thrown at 105 season high in innings pitched in a single game at seven innings.

I believe he's only now two innings away from hitting 2,000 career innings, which is also incredibly impressive.

But, I mean, like the splitter I thought looked real good all day, 15 whiffs.

on the split only one start where he got more whiffs on the splitter coming back in April of 2023 so they were the Yankees are just swinging and missing on that thing basically all day it's just unfortunate that the first floating split finger really one of his only mistakes all day was punished by Jason Domingos who was just activated off the IL by the Yankees today but yeah I mean it's just

It's almost comical at this point that Kevin Gosman does not get run support in his starts.
