00:00For the New York Yankees, I feel like it's a kind of similar conversation.

00:05Aaron Judge has been a continuation of Aaron Judge in the month of September.

00:08He's been amazing. Judge through 19 games in September is hitting 344.

00:13He's walked 20 times in 19 games, and he's gotten 1162 OPS.

00:19After that, Caballero has been amazing. Ben Rice has been really good.

00:23But then it falls off a little bit. Jazz Chisholm is striking out a lot this month.

00:27Trent Grisham is hitting $1.88 through 17 games in September.

00:31Paul Goldschmidt is not slugging. He's got one extra base hit in 15 games.

00:35Giancarlo Stanton, he's cooling off a little bit.

00:38Who's going to step up for the New York Yankees offensively here? That's my thing.

00:43Yeah, and at least with them, you have more optimism that there's just more upside with a lot of these guys, right?

00:49So I think that's where it's standing in the postseason, freaking Stanton, right?

00:54I mean, Jazz is still picking up big swings here, and he's had a really nice season.

00:59Bellinger's been great in a complimentary role.

01:00And then I love Rosario off the bench.

01:03And Goldschmidt's still against lefties. He's just going to play well.

01:05And then Dominguez, that's another guy that you're just throwing up off the bench here.

01:09So I like what they've got there overall.

01:12My burning question for them is, how does this bullpen shake out?

01:16Devin's been throwing better.

01:18Cruz is one of the most inconsistent relievers you've got.

01:20But when he's good, he's really good.

01:23So Vol, we've seen him be great.

01:25We've seen him have struggles this year.

01:26Who do you trust? How much do you trust him?

01:29Where do you deploy them?

01:31I'm very fascinated to see Boone, who people already go out of their way to blame.

01:35It's going to be very easy if he mismanages this bullpen.

01:38And I don't envy him because I don't even know how I would manage this bullpen right now.

01:42It's kind of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

01:45I don't know how you go right here.
