00:00The New York Yankees are also playing good baseball,
00:03but they're still without Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
00:07The update on Saturday was that no activity for Stanton,
00:11which a week ago I said was a bad sign.
00:13It remains a bad sign for him.
00:15They're just going to hope he comes back for the postseason.
00:17Let's not even try to put it on anything else.
00:19They ended up taking two out of three from Pittsburgh.
00:21Their pitching, which has been their calling card all season, has been great.
00:25Look what they did against Philadelphia Friday and Saturday.
00:281-0 and 3-1 as well.
00:31I mean, dare I say, Tom, the Yankees are going to be built again
00:34going into this postseason with counting on a three-run home run
00:37and hoping their starting pitching comes through.
00:39It seems like the same recipe for an early exit for the postseason
00:42for me, for the Yankees, Tom, I'm sorry to say.
00:44Yeah, they need another hitter to really remedy things,
00:48and they look good right now.
00:50That's the only thing we can say is how they're looking right now.
00:53They lost the series versus the Dodgers as teams lose series versus the Dodgers
00:58as they tend to do.
00:59They beat the Pirates.
01:01They won the series versus Philly, Sunday's results to be determined.
01:05And where they sit with injuries, where they sit in the standings,
01:09they need another consistent hitter in their lineup because the pitching is as good
01:13as it gets across the MLB.
01:15Between the starters, between the bullpen, it's great.
01:18A good, solid hitter in the lineup, getting Aaron Judge back,
01:23I think those two things could be a huge turning point,
01:26but it's just a matter of what's out there for them to trade for.
