00:00And technically, despite having the most wins in both the AL and all of Major League Baseball,
00:0552 of them for New York, no longer the best winning percentage based on just strictly
00:10percentage. That belongs to the Cleveland Guardians, who are riding a five-game win streak
00:16in this new week, and yet the Yanks remain the AL pennant favorites at a 2-1 number.
00:21They should, though. They really should be. And I also said, like, you know,
00:25last week, the Yankees and the Orioles, right? It's good for their fan bases that they're so
00:28close between a game and a half to two games, whatever it was last week, where you expect your
00:33front offices to hit that gas pedal when it comes time to get a better team on the field
00:38post-All-Star break. Because the one thing that you know from the Yankees and the Orioles is what,
00:42Ben? You're going to fight with each other throughout the stretcher, and you want home
00:45field advantage. So if the Orioles go, ah, I think we're doing fine, and the Yankees go out
00:48and add a very good pitcher and a very good bat, then you're going to be in a little bit of trouble.
00:52But also hear me out on this. The Yankees are good, despite this past weekend not playing
00:56great baseball. Dean Carlos stands down for at least one month. And I always say that sometimes
01:00you catch lightning in a bottle that way, because if you are the Yankees,
01:03you go out and make a move to try to, you know, make up for that injury. And certainly it's not
01:07going to be some, you know, random players that you're picking up on the side, like a blockbuster
01:11player to get in there, an All-Star caliber guy. I'm interested to see what the Yankees do,
01:15because I'm not panicking on them. Even with that injury to stand, they'll be out a month. He's
01:18still going to be coming back. It's a hamstring. It's not as if it's a knee injury or an Achilles
01:22or something worse like that. But just from this past weekend, I'm just interested to see
01:26where the Yankees move forward, because they're playing great baseball now,
01:29floundered a little bit over the weekend, now getting some injuries.
01:32I just want to see how they react to it. That's all.
