00:00Yankees beat the Blue Jays 5-4. Yankees had a lead, gave it up, tied it for in the top of the ninth inning.
00:08Little Rice-a-roni up in Toronto. Man, did they need it on the Yes Network.
00:13High fly ball, right field and deep. Luke is back on the track.
00:18See ya! A huge home run from Ben Rice as the Yankees take a 5-4 lead.
00:25Yeah, listen, they needed that, like, oxygen.
00:31I mean, they have been owned by the Jays, owned by the East, finding themselves, you know, four back.
00:39They needed that desperately last night, and they almost blew it.
00:45Yeah, and it's a good thing they also won, because all you would have heard again today was how Volpe made another awful error last night, which he did.
00:51He did.
00:52But that gets swept under when you win. You don't talk about it as much, that he made another awful error.
00:58Devin Williams has been good, right? Last 27 outings after that awful start.
01:032.45 ERA, 0-7-4 whip for Devin Williams, finally pitching like the guy the Yankees thought they were getting when they acquired him in the offseason.
01:14So, nice job by him.
01:15Yeah, but you really never know who he is.
01:18Is he the closer? Is he the setup guy? You know, I don't think they can ever make up their mind.
01:26I mean, we've seen the kid, a Dreamweaver, show some leaks, right?
01:31So, when you got this high-priced closer, why wouldn't you let him close then?
01:36I mean, they weren't winning with Weaver.
01:38They weren't closing games out, for the most part, with Weaver.
01:41He'd hit a wall since he got injured. Is that about right?
01:45And then, meanwhile, this guy's the one that's been lights out, and then, you know, they don't use him in that role.
01:51It's really inexplicable.
01:54Doesn't make a lot of sense, that's for sure.
01:57Yankees do have the easiest remaining schedule among American League teams, including, how about this finish at the end of September?
02:05Three at Minnesota, four at Baltimore, three versus the White Sox, three versus the Orioles.
02:10Those are the last four series of the year.
02:12So, if the Yankees need it, need wins down the stretch.
02:16Famous last words, Mike.
02:18Like, you know, this is the same thing as win, win, loss, win, win, loss.
02:24You know, I just don't believe any night ever is written in stone or guaranteed in baseball.
02:33Like, you think, you know, did you think the Twins were going to put 10 on the Dodgers last night?
02:38You know what I mean?
02:39Did you think that the Rockies were going to win?
02:42You know what I mean?
02:43Like, did you think Devers was going to hit two home runs today?
02:47You never know what's going to happen in a baseball game.
02:49I honestly believe that.
02:51I think it's, you know, people look at the starting pitcher and they base their bet on that.
02:56Well, more damage happens in the last three innings than, in my opinion, than the first five innings.
03:02You know what I mean?
03:03Like, pitchers start, they go out, they usually, if they're good, they're effective and get their job done.
03:09And then they hand it over to the bullpen and they're the ones that blow it.
03:13They're the ones that give up the runs and hits when things change.
03:16If you see a guy three times, you might get lucky and start figuring him out by the third time.
03:23But baseball nowadays is right.
03:25The guy pitches five innings, then he leaves.
03:27So, I don't base bets on just who's starting a game.
03:32And I don't base bets on, oh, well, this looks like an easy game.
03:37They stink.
03:38They're awful.
03:39Did you think the White Sox were going to win five straight or that they were going to sweep the Pirates and score 27 runs?
03:44Or, you know, I know the Pirates are awful, but I don't think anybody can predict anything in baseball, to be honest with you.
