00:00Yankees fans having a pretty good season so far.
00:02Why? They're in first place.
00:03The Boston Red Sox are in last place.
00:05Last five games there for the Yanks.
00:06A perfect 5-0.
00:08And you take a look at this team as they're waiting
00:10or maybe getting their best starter back in Garrett Cole.
00:13A little bit of troubles there.
00:15Single A, double A working his way back.
00:17But right now, the Yankees close to 20 wins
00:18on the Major League Baseball season.
00:20The lineup, two guys there, Craig, in April with nine home runs.
00:24How about Ben Rice?
00:25337 average, nine home runs.
00:27Now, we're not going to get a .400 watch here from Aaron Judge,
00:30currently hitting .229, but he still has that power stroke on
00:32with nine home runs here in the opening month
00:35of the Major League Baseball season.
00:36High expectations for the Yankees.
00:38Waiting to get their star pitcher back.
00:40They'll take being in first place right now in the AL East, Craig.
00:43Yeah, they're playing well this week,
00:45so nobody yelling and screaming about firing that manager, Donnie.
00:47That's a good...
00:48But next week, we'll check back.
00:49And, of course, after losing a couple in a row,
00:50they'll want Boone fired as well.
00:53And that's the way that the Yankees work.
00:54So next week, it'll be a no.
00:55So, look, they faced off with the Red Sox,
00:58who obviously were playing at a very low level.
01:00And, as you said, could have led to some of this managerial firing.
01:03And then they got lucky and played the Astros,
01:05who I've tried to have been telling everybody for weeks now,
01:08they're cooked, they're done.
01:09So, soft part, I guess, of the Yankees' schedule right now.
01:12And, naturally, they'll go through their own slumps.
01:14But, look, this is a team, as you mentioned, Ben Rice,
01:18not just a budding superstar,
01:20but I think going to be a superstar in this team.
01:21And, with the way that Stanton is going and some of the other players,
01:25they're just cruising right now and getting great pitching,
01:28generally speaking, from Schlittler
01:30and from some of the other pitchers in their rotation.
01:32Cole, Rodon, getting him back.
01:35Wow.
01:35Like, this could be a team that's fighting once again for a pennant.
01:40Built-on pitching, no doubt about it.
01:42Free at 240 ERA.
01:43Schlittler, 177.
01:44Will Warren, 259.
01:46329 for Weathers.
01:46And, they're waiting to see what they can get out of heel this year.
01:48He's up to a 411 ERA.
01:50But, if he snaps back and you get Cole back,
01:52things looking up for the Yankees
01:53and the Yankees fans in the Bronx this year.
