It feels like we're in a very similar spot with this team right now as they were last week.
I mean... basically just hovering around 500 since aaron judge left uh yeah and uh they're about they're five games back of uh first place right now um i i don't think that's very very different from where they were last week i think it was five and a half when we recorded
um so yeah i mean the pitching's incredible the hitting isn't so that's kind of what what's going on yeah
And I guess the starting pitching, you know, can't put runs on the board, but they can keep them off the board.
Fortunately, those three guys in the lineup, you know, put the runs on the board, you know, as well, you know, with what Trent Grisham did to drive in the young guys, Spencer Jones and George Lombard Jr., so.
you know, and even the young guys on Sunday, you know, when it nearly fizzled, you know, with Ben Rice's error in the ninth.
They actually have gained a little ground, as you said, on – on the Rays, and the Rays are going through it.
But, you know, it's like everybody is watching, waiting, and hoping with Aaron Judge to come back and Bellinger to come back and stuff.
And even, you know, the guys in the lineup have to – the guys that are in the lineup have to start doing it a little better too.
You know, I'm excited about the starting pitching with the exception of what happened with the announcement was with Freed yesterday.
If we have to talk about anything with that, I'd like the timing to talk about that.
