And because of that, that's where they're here today in the World Series.

I mean, yeah, you got to look at this, this Milwaukee bullpen, arguably, probably one of the most dominant bullpen effort we've seen, obviously going through the DS beat in San Diego, but now with the Dodgers, but they were able to do in this series.

I mean, you got to think about, like you said, Jimmy, this was all come from behind wins, but something that the bullpen was able to do was neutralize the lineup.

They were able to cover innings.

Once the game came in the fifth, if you look at game one, Mesorowski, you know, got into some trouble there.

You know, Dodgers made him work the pitch count in the fifth inning.

Murphy gets aggressive, goes to his bullpen.

Talk about, if you can, the evolution of that and what your take is on it, being that guy that came in to close the games.

Yeah

...

he went seven innings where he didn't give up any runs.

So, um, you kn- you, you need that type of performance from Max Fried tonight.

He has to be excellent.

He was excellent in the Wild Card.

He has to go out there and, you know, set the tone early.

Is that something that players feel, and can you, uh, speak to that to the fan base of how tight this Yankee team might be?

Yeah

...

So, um, you need, you, you need that type of performance from Max Fried tonight.

He has to go out there and, you know, set the tone early.

Is there, w- when we talk about a team looking tight, is that a tangible thing for you guys where, you know, if Tampa gets out to a, you know, a one-nothing lead after one, is that something that players feel, and can you, uh, speak to that to the fan base of how tight this Yankee team might be?

Yeah

...

Yeah

...

Grisham has great at bats, so he'll, he'll make them, uh...

You know, he'll see as many pitches as he can, but you gotta, you gotta go in there a- and, and put pressure on the Rays' pitching.

Um, I think Cash is gonna be ultim- ul- like aggressive with his pitching staff.

Um, if he sees a lane there, he's gonna go after and put some of his r- relievers in there.

They got great bullpen.

Yeah

Ryan Jeffers, once he comes back, he's going to be on the block for me as well because I think in the long run, that's going to put you in a better spot.

I mean, I completely agree with you.

If you look at the Minnesota Twins, if they get into the playoffs and they have to face the Yankees right away, I mean, they got no chance.

We already know the history.

They haven't been able to beat the Yankees in probably over 40 years.

I mean, it's been pretty, pretty bad.

But when you look at Detroit, they're six and a half from the division.

It's going to be a lot of pressure and a lot of attention on those games.

Mm-hmm

... right? But uh, you know, he had a quick leash at times.

But, um, under Hal, y- I feel like the guys stay there at least 10 years.

For me, Boone, when he came in, he was just a player manager, and I felt like, uh, he was always great.

For me, you could always walk into his room, have a good conversation.

He always fought for the players.

That's something that he's continued to do.

Um, hey, what do you see when you see Cam Schlittler, Dylan?
