00:00What I find, I got to admit, mind-numbing about the Yankee defense is as much as we talk about
00:05it,
00:05and people have called in Sports Talk Radio for years talking about the inning of the fifth in the 2024
00:13World Series,
00:15this inning and everything about the Yankee defensive failures remind me of it,
00:19in that Aaron Judge is a good defender.
00:21Him dropping a fly ball makes no sense.
00:24Garrett Cole is a smart man.
00:26Him not covering first base doesn't make sense.
00:28Ryan McMahon is a good defender at 30s.
00:31The reason he started this game is because of his defense.
00:34It doesn't make sense that on the second pitch of the game, on a routine ground ball to third base,
00:39the ball goes off his glove.
00:40It doesn't make sense.
00:42The Yankees defensive miscues going back to the infamous Game 5 of the World Series,
00:47and even last night.
00:49I'm sorry.
00:49They don't make sense.
00:51Luis Garcia, I know he didn't get charged with the error, Lombard Jr. did.
00:54The ball's off his glove.
00:56He's played a good first base for the Yankees.
00:58It doesn't make sense.
01:00So I don't know if you or Sean or anyone else can make sense of all of it or try
01:03to explain it,
01:04but the Yankees haven't been a bad defensive team all year.
01:07No.
01:08But yet in the biggest of moments, they become a bad defensive team.
