00:00Even one of the things I really like tonight about is how hooked up we were in that dugout
00:07in the 8th and 9th inning when it wasn't going well.
00:09And the level of the at-bats and not giving in even in the end.
00:12The guys on the top step pulling for one another as they take a tough pitch or put a good swing
00:18on a ball.
00:21I was pleased to see that.
00:24We're hooked up, we want to make it happen, we're all frustrated, but I'm not worried
00:29about the compete level with these guys.
00:32You should be.
00:33They just suck.
00:34They just suck.
00:35I'm not worried about the compete level either, I guess.
00:37They're just not that good.
00:38That's pretty much what it comes down to.
00:39So he gets pushed a little bit about how they have the second worst record in baseball since
00:45the middle of June.
00:46Only the White Sox have been worse from them.
00:48And the worst pitching.
00:50And the worst pitching in all of baseball.
00:53And then he flips into tough guy Aaron Boone.
00:55Here we go.
00:56We've got to play better.
00:57Okay?
00:58We have it right in front of us.
01:00We're a really good team that has played s*** of late, we need to be better.
01:05I'm not going to define stretch this or that.
01:09We've got to go win, right?
01:11And we're right there, we're watching other teams struggle around us.
01:18We know we've got to be better.
01:19They were down nine runs.
01:22We're pissed off in there, we've got a lot of pride in there, we have a lot of expectation
01:26in there.
01:27Stretch, slump, recent, I don't give a s***.
01:33We've got to play better the rest of the way.
01:35And it's right there.
01:36I've said it's right in front of us.
01:37It is.
01:38It's right there in front of us.
01:39It's right in front of us.
01:40It's not.
01:41Right?
01:42For as bad as it's been, we're also in a great position.
01:44And we've got to go play the baseball the way we're capable of playing.
01:50And it's on all of us, starting with me in that room, to make sure we're coming out with
01:56the right level of energy and getting after it.
01:59Oh yeah, sure.
02:00I'm sick of hearing about it.
02:02Listen, what I want to see is, the reality is this.
02:07They're up by three and a half in the top wildcard spot, right?
02:11Fair enough.
02:12And, you know, I'll give you that, right?
02:14So that's fine.
02:16But the reality is this.
02:18They're two back of the Orioles, which is nothing in the East.
02:21Fair enough.
02:22I'll give you that.
02:23They have the worst record and the worst pitching over the last two months in baseball.
02:32In two months.
02:33That's like 60 days of baseball and a lot of games.
02:39It's literally a stretch of some 50 games.
02:42They have been the worst record and the worst pitching in baseball.
02:48I don't care who you are and how much power you have and Cashman and Hal love this guy.
02:56The reality is this.
02:57It's on me.
02:58What it should be is, he should be fired.
