00:00If Garrett Cole is going on the I.L. for any sustained period of time, and they don't hit a starter now in the next three hours,
00:06there better be 0.000 payroll excuses why Juan Soto's not a Yankee next year.
00:11I'm sorry, you cannot punt on the rest of this year and not go hit a starter when Garrett Cole goes down.
00:15Stop using the word punt. It's not punting to not trade for a big star.
00:19Whatever word you want to use, Evan, as a Yankee fan, this can't be it for Juan Soto if Garrett Cole goes on the I.L. for an amount of time and they don't hit a starter.
00:26No, I think the pressure is now mounted to go get Blake Snell.
00:30If we're being honest, I think that's the guy. I think that's the target.
00:33Look, Blake Snell is not signed long-term. He was the guy the Yankees were obviously interested in during the offseason.
00:39There's a mutual option next year at $30 million.
00:42Well, guess what? If Blake Snell's going to pitch the way he's pitched recently, he's not going to want to pitch on $30 million.
00:47He's going to want an opt-out. He's going to get out.
00:49And look, his overall numbers are still not very good, but remember, he got off to a slow start because he missed a lot of time.
00:56His last, like, five starts that he's pitched, look at his numbers.
00:59The guy's been dominant. He's pitched like the guy who won the Cy Young last year.
01:03I'll give you the numbers real quick.
01:04Five scoreless, seven scoreless, six innings, two runs, and then his last start, six innings, zero runs, 15 strikeouts.
01:11So over the last four starts, Blake Snell's looked like Blake Snell.
01:15So don't be scared by the fact that he's pitched to a 5ERA.
01:19It looks like he's putting it all together. That's the guy.
01:22That's the guy. It's not Jack Flaherty. It's Colgate Blake Snell now.
01:26Has not only coal insurance, in case this is serious, but great if he's healthy.
01:31I got myself a hell of a top of the rotation.
01:34Can anything just go right in this town ever? Ever, man?
01:37Things are going pretty well in Queens.
01:38No, no, not for a World Series fan, but just dying for a freaking parade in this town.
01:42And this has to happen now on a day like this. We're having good vibes.
01:45I can't take it anymore.
01:46Are you going to cry?
01:47I'm just like, I'm finally believing.
01:49I got roped back in.
01:50Jazz Chisholm, I can't wait to buy his jersey.
01:52And we got general body fatigue with no update on the trade deadline day.
01:56It's like having a balloon pop, bro.
01:58Right, it is. It is bad timing.
01:59I can't take it, man.
02:01It's bad timing to have a general body fatigue.
02:02It's the worst day to get this news.
02:05I just, I give up.
02:07You give up?
02:08Dude, it's been 70 years since we got a parade.
02:11We're not going to get one ever.
02:13Why are you turning red?
02:14I can't take this stuff anymore, man.
02:17I don't want to laugh because I don't like that Gary Cole is hurting.
02:19He has general body soreness, but he looks like a balloon.
02:22His head just turned bright red.
02:25I mean, it is kind of shocking.
02:26We're two and a half hours away from first pitch or so.
02:30And you're like, and you feel good.
02:31The American League's open.
02:32You just thumped the Phillies who are supposed to be the big threat in the NL.
02:34You take it three in a row.
02:36You've turned the season around and you get this.
02:38It is the most deflating news.
02:40I get you, but you just said I give up.
02:42Did you literally utter that phrase?
02:43If he's out, I give up.
02:45I give up on getting my hopes up.
02:46You give up?
02:48For having my hopes up?
02:49Yeah, look, and I know I'm at fault, and I know I'm not a normal human being,
02:52and I know that I take sports way too seriously.
02:54But from a fan's perspective, it's like what deal with the devil happened
02:58when Mario Manningham caught that pass
02:59that suddenly we're not allowed to ever win another championship?
03:01What does that have to do with the Yankees?
03:03Every single team, Tiki, it's injuries.
03:05It's disaster.
03:06It's this.
03:07Every time, it's like a cat falling for that stupid cat toy, Petco.
03:11I can't take it, man.
03:12I can't take it anymore.
03:14Stop it.
03:14It's not time for jokes.
