00:00the seven eight nine hitters i know it's something like hey ryan like this this is like really not
00:04the big problem that you should be focusing on but those three at the bottom of the order have
00:08really not done much and in terms of impact offensively we knew that mcmahon is going to
00:12be the nine hole hitter he's supposed to play defense that's what he's there for so i'm not
00:16expecting much out of him but austin wells this felt like a big year for him in terms of what
00:19he
00:19can do offensively to impact the game and you're seeing the reasons now jose caballero maybe volpe
00:24does give him a boost is it real or unreal what we've seen so far with the seven or eight
00:28nine
00:28seven eight nine hitters for the yankees in this lineup wells is the issue for me as you know
00:32because i made this point about rice and wells in the past and rice has turned out to be good
00:38and
00:39look mcmahon falls into this a little bit also is i think when you make good swing decisions you
00:44generally end up being a good offensive player trent grisham makes good swing decisions he lays
00:49off of bad pitches he swings at what he should you know will the power fully blossom there i don't
00:54know
00:54mcmahon makes good swing decisions and he just doesn't hit balls in the zone yeah rice even when
01:01he was struggling i kept saying the swing decisions are great and when he when he squares the ball it
01:07really goes and now we've seen the full flowering of what that means wells the earliest versions of
01:13wells were really good swing decisions into well hit balls when he hit them that has felt like it's
01:20backed up a little bit and then he hit so great in the wbc i thought well maybe he's ready
01:26for the
01:27full breakout like he's you know he's talked about the fact that he didn't separate the defense and the
01:32offense well enough for someone i would have bought stock that the offense will come i've lost a little
01:38faith that the offense will come i'm not completely off of that ship because i still think there's an
01:44offensive player in him i'm starting a little bit to lose faith and again that will be the thing
01:52where you have to make the decision does he become a guy you pinch it for late
01:56you
