00:00The Yankees have not publicly addressed the Freed situation.
00:04I would be bleak if a guy had a re-injury to an elbow area that he's going to pitch
00:10again this year.
00:11But let's be somewhat cautious and let's hear, is there some caution here?
00:17Like, hey, he felt something. We want to get ahead of it.
00:20We think shutting it down, some shots, rehab, whatever, we'll have him perk up again.
00:25I think the Yankees, if they get their offense back, and I'm very dubious about it, can survive not having
00:32Freed if they get it.
00:34But the problem is, Ryan, we talked about this after the deadline and then again last week,
00:40which is their inability to bring in more pitching from the outside at the deadline meant that they really couldn't
00:48take on more injuries.
00:49Plus, they had to get Rodon and Schmidt back and maybe Luis Hill.
00:53You know, we'll see what happens there.
00:55So they've gone the wrong way there.
00:57It's like one step forward.
00:58Oh, you got Rodon back.
01:00But it's one step back.
01:02And they needed, that's the strength of their team.
01:04If they were going to win multiple rounds of the playoffs, it was going to be about run prevention.
01:09In that series against the Braves, where they took two or three, I think the game they lost, they might
01:17have lost 1-0.
01:18But it was against a good offense, you saw Cole, Schlittler, and Freed.
01:23And you said, oh, that's what the playoffs could look like.
01:26Where even if the Yankees struggle for some offense, they might be able to starting pitch their way through this.
01:31So, let's take a look.
01:34You
