What happened in the Yankees game last night?
We wake up this morning, we have two teams in first place. Oh, yeah. How about that? How about that? And, you know, there are a couple issues that both teams are having right now. There's no question about that. I love the Ahmad Rosario thing because that's exactly what you want. You want your depth pieces being a part of the success of your team. You don't want guys languishing at the end of the bench not being a part of something.
How did Amed Rosario perform in place of Ryan McMahon?
But it does present an issue for Rosario. Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees, because obviously Ryan McMahon is extremely struggling. The other guy who happens to be struggling in New York right now is a guy that we all like. We all like him. You like Benj. Oh, yeah. Of course. I said I like Benj. Yep. Al said he liked Benj. I think that Eddie said he liked Benj. I did.
What challenges are the Yankees facing with player performance?
And Jerry said he liked Benj. And Benj looks a little overwhelmed to me right now. Sure. And he is not, you know, it would have been a great story coming out of spring training. He may need a reset. I'm not sure. I'm not sure what he's going to do. But, you know, I don't want to... dwell on the negative but i'm just saying this kid is getting off to a really really slow start after game one against the pirates uh it's been uh an adventure for him now he still steals bases he still gets on base via the walk but he is just to me it looks like he's a little bit overwhelmed but that's you know that that's a rookie and and hopefully it will turn for him sooner than later or if they feel like he just needs to get more quality at bats get his confidence back
How does depth impact a baseball team's success?
you know, maybe there's a shift coming. And it was great for Ronnie Mauricio yesterday, too, as well. Oh, yeah. I mean, because, you know, he was very disappointed going down, coming back, and then having a big moment yesterday. You know, these are the twists and turns of an MLB season, for sure, for both of these teams. But, you know, there are kind of little hiccups along the way that we're going to have to deal with and they're going to have to deal with. And these are a couple of those situations. The Yankee situation is a little bit different because, you know, Ahmed Rosario is a – He's a veteran. You know what he's going to give you. Sure. And he's not a bad third baseman, for sure, but he's a better hitter than Ryan McMahon, without question.
Yeah, I mean, and he's not going to hit two home runs every night, but we've seen a lot of Ahmed Rosario throughout the years, and he's certainly a more than capable bench player, and maybe he plays himself better into the starting lineup. I mean, if you could play shortstop at a high level, you should be able to play third base at a high level. And Ryan McMahon is an elite defender over there. But the guy, you know, is a, you know, 180 to 220 hitter. What we've seen from him since he's come over in the trade at the deadline last year. And, you know, speaking of defense, it really is amazing to me some of the terrible defense I've I have seen to start this season. And just some examples last night, another Francisco Lindor error that should have never happened.
You know, Brett Beatty's out there in right field. I understand it's not his position, but I mean, he just, he has this weak ass, weird throw to nowhere in the middle of the infield yesterday. And I'm like, that did not look anything like a major league player. And then last night in the Yankee game, you know, this was something that helped out the Yankees, but again,
What are the implications of player struggles for the Yankees?
I mean, or could have helped out the Yankees, but the first baseman for the A's was spectacular. But you got this Max Muncy at third base for the A's. He can't throw the ball over to first base without it being off the bag or down in the dirt or everything else. So, I mean, it's just been – I feel like there's been more bad defense to start this season than I remember in previous years. And I know that was a major talking point for – David Stearns going into this season was a run prevention, and David Stearns, as you're talking about loving Benj and liking Benj, I don't think anybody likes Benj more than David Stearns, so we're going to have to see what he ends up doing.
