00:00I'm still not over it. I wanted to be over it today, and I'm not over it.
00:04And just to couch, first of all, let's check Judge off real quick.
00:07I don't want to feel this way towards Aaron Judge.
00:10I have so much love for showing up to the ballpark every single day I get a chance to,
00:14over the summer, and watching Aaron Judge hit a home run.
00:17But the fact of the matter remains, if you want to forgive him for making his first error of the season
00:21and dropping that fly ball, well, guess what?
00:24That fly ball is not paramount.
00:26If Aaron Judge could figure out how to hit a baseball in the first three games of the series,
00:31and then maybe the Yankees had another win in their pocket, and last night was an elimination.
00:35So that does factor in, and that does matter.
00:38And I want him to get back to World Series, but boy, oh boy, if he doesn't,
00:41he could take the 62 home runs right to Cooperstown, and that's great.
00:44He's going to be remembered for that drop pop-up.
00:46But you know what? Yesterday and the last three days, when we have the privilege of sitting out there
00:51at Yankee Stadium, hours before anybody's in the building,
00:54and watching, little by little, the players trickle on the field,
00:56from Michael Kopech and his dumb bare feet, walking around the outfield,
01:00to when Giancarlo Stanton is hitting bombs in the batting gauge by himself,
01:04and then DJ LeMayhue, for some reason, is up practicing bunting.
01:07You know what I didn't see over the course of three days?
01:11Anybody practice a damn baseball drill. It's the World Series.
01:15You are four losses, then three losses, then two losses, then eventually one loss away from elimination.
01:20When was the last time this team, filled with base-running mistakes,
01:24filled with fielding errors, filled with any of that,
01:27actually got drilled hard by their baseball manager from a baseball family bloodline on the fundamentals?
01:34Was it March 24th, and that was it?
01:37How could this team look so unprepared versus the best team in the world, the Dodgers,
01:41with the same damn mistakes we've seen since the freaking Baltimore Orioles the day before the All-Star break?
01:47It's the World Series. You cannot embarrass yourself like that, and that was embarrassing.
