You lose jazz last night.
Does that concern you at all moving forward with the Yankees?
Not really.
It's marginal.
If he's back before the postseason, I think that's good enough.
But also, if he's not there to start the postseason, is he a true needle mover in the lineup right
now?
Why?
If he's not there in game October 1st or 2nd, whatever, his game one, are we going to say,
oh, the Yankees, they're toast.
They can't make it to the World Series.
They can't win series because jazz is not there.
But yeah, he may help them, but I don't think it's that much of a detriment if he's not
there.
I would like to see him there, but I just think it's kind of a lateral kind of thing.
I agree.
I think this is going to be ... We've got to learn a little bit here about Mr. Judge,
see how long he can last, see if he can get ... You said it, I was trying to go home run
and be chalky last night, but you were spot on by saying, listen, he's ... First pitch,
what was it, Tom?
I think we even went micro-marking because we were that degenerate last night.
How did that go?
It was a take.
It was a take, right, Pat?
One of our producers in the back.
Chris, it was a take.
Yeah.
Take low.
But again, I thought he would swing and miss.
That's what I thought it would be.
I didn't think he'd be making contact on the first pitch.
Yeah.
I think tonight, two strikeouts.
Now I'm going the other way.
Probably gets three home runs is what I'm thinking, Tom, here tonight.
This should be extremely interesting here tonight, watching the Yankees go back at the
Rockies.
This is the time of the season where you want to get ... You have an opportunity to get
right here, right, Todd?
This could not happen at a better spot.
