Gerrit Cole, Max Fried show why Yankees must nail the trade deadline | Beyond The Beat

Alright, let's go beyond the beat get you guys some reactions to the top New York Post headlines coming out of the Yankees doubleheader on Wednesday which they split of course Ryan Garcia Empire State Media is in the batter's box for this one Ryan. Welcome back beyond the beat, bro You're the content creator that we decided to reach out to go ahead and knock it out the park We'll start with the first headline max free here at cold combo was worth the weight and doubleheader split with pirates Three five scoreless innings in the wind cold seven dominant innings and a loss that I guess we can all agree Wasn't his fault did the free cold duo? Show that they're worth the combined 542 million dollar price tag They look like an incredible duo and when you start really putting together this Yankees rotation it's what gives you a lot of hope that this team can put it all together and with a strong deadline go on a run because You've got camps Littler. You've got max free. You've got Garrett Cole We've got calls for Don at some point later in the season You feel like you have four top end starters who can really shut down any offense The Pirates are one of the top offenses in baseball and Cole's last start came against the Dodgers another top flight offense So I feel really good about those two right now next headline Yankees know they need everyone to step up as offensive walls deep in offense is absolutely terrible again, man Call him or the hymns out Ryan who needs to step it up and needs to step it up right now Yeah, I mean Cody Bellinger has to be better. He hasn't hit a home run since June 17th I think when you look up and down the offense you haven't gotten great at bats from Jose Caballero The catching position continues to be an issue for the Yankees whether it's Austin Wells or Ali Sanchez Then you start looking at the infields I think jazz is starting to wake up a little bit But you look at you look at shortstop. You're not getting enough there in the outfields You're not getting a lot from Jason Dominguez. You need your depth guy step up, but I think it starts with Cody Bellinger I think Ryan Jeffers is a perfect fit for this team. He brings really strong back-to-ball abilities He has good power and he's an upgrade at a catching position That has been the league worst in all offensive categories for the Yankees I think again Jeffers is a great fit from all of his skills and you look at this offense and you put Ryan Jeffers in It you're gonna feel a lot better about your ability to put up runs on a nightly basis Kind of caught out Jose Caballero And in terms of the offensive walls a little bit earlier he headlined or he's a part of this next headline Yankees live it with MLB over handling of Jose Caballero pitch timer fiasco first Let me set it up to the to the people at home what happened for those who don't know then of course We got to get your thoughts All right With two outs and a runner on first base in the sixth inning cabbie was called for an automatic strike on a pitch clock Violation it was the second strike of the at-bat So he struck out by rule cabbie has to make eye contact with the pitcher when there's about eight Seconds left on the timer. He was called for this violation with nine seconds left to go He likes to wait to use it as kind of a stalling tactic But it backfired last night because MLB supposedly changed up the rule and didn't tell the Yankees Which side are you on on this one? All Ryan Garcia MLB or the Yankees? Look, I want better at batsman Jose Caballero But I think MLB is completely in the wrong here to not inform the player and manager ahead of the game About the supposed rule change is unbelievable I believe that if you're going to alter the rule book, you should inform the parties that it's affecting I have no problem with them saying they don't want this stalling tactic to catch wind across the league But it is ridiculous to not inform both player and manager before the game. What do you think of the tactic? I know it's Technically in between the rule box or the rules, but do you think that's kind of cheating the game a little bit I Think it is a little tacky, right? Like I think we can all agree that from a viewing experience standpoint It's maybe not the best thing for baseball and you also have the issue where well if Caballero's doing it Will other players begin doing it and then do you just have this massive issue where guys are stalling? It's kind of going against the nature of the rule, which is to speed up the game a little bit I have no problem with that will be changing the rule itself and making sure this can't happen as long as they disclose it to the Players and manager which I guess now it's out in the open
