This is the Go Get'em Podcast. Big Mac, McMonigle, Go Get'em, buddy. Now, here's Chris McMonigle.

Welcome to the Go Get'em. How are we doing, everybody? Go get'em we shall, Aaron Boone. Hold on, let me fix that a little bit, a little high there. What's going on? Here we are, live on YouTube. As well as anywhere you get your podcast.

What's going on? A lot to get to today on this episode. We obviously heard from Brian Cashman speak for about 90 minutes, and that always sets off the fan base.

We got coaches leaving. We've got names brought up in free agency as we are in the middle of a period that is hard to judge on what's going on in Major League Baseball, right? Early on, as we sit here with the lockout looming on December 1st, it felt like a lot of the thought would be that we would see a fast and furious month of November, and that we would see a lot of signings and a lot of different things happening.

Then we got an idea from all the reports is that teams are uneasy, and maybe even some of the Brian Cashman stuff, if you listen to the full thing, we're going to go through the Brian Cashman, a couple of clips from Brian Cashman just to go over a couple of different things on what he said, some of the most pertinent stuff and some of the stuff that the fans have reacted to. He spoke for 90 minutes, we're not going to go through every single one of his answers. It's just too much, but we picked out a couple of different things. But even listening to Brian Cashman, you kind of get the idea, right? And then, and quite honestly, even listening to then David Stearns with the Mets, a lot of the business as usual, which is usually not to do much in November, you get the feeling that maybe it'll be a slow turn. And then I did my best to listen to Scott Boris.

Some of the clips today, the most ridiculous, like Scott Boris is so ridiculous to listen to. He gave an answer today on the MLB proposal that I honestly thought was the most asinine, unlike just you couldn't understand what the hell he was saying. He was talking about carrots and I have no idea what he said. I listened to it three times and I still don't know what the hell he's talking about. He gave you a Scoobble pun. It was a bear market but now it's turning into a Scoobble market. Very funny then.

But it sounds like he might be the only one to get moved, although Boris kind of did indicate that a lot of teams have been calling for a lot of different pieces. So we'll see how exciting this off season might get.

We will see. But we got Brian Cashman speaking, we'll go through his things and a lot going on with the New York Yankees, and we'll give you a couple of guys that there's been some noise around with the Yankees so far. But first, let's start with the congratulations to Cam Schlittler for winning the Cy Young unanimously, which he deserved. He pulled away in the last month of the season. There was no doubt he was the best pitcher in the American League. One of the great seasons we have seen as a Yankee family. It is hard to remember. And I know right now, and not to continue to bring this stuff up, but I can't avoid it. I know right now, even if you're interested, and if you're watching me right now live on YouTube, or you're going to check it out later, I'm doing it tonight on a Wednesday night, if you can check out tomorrow, whatever. But if you're listening to this podcast, you obviously care enough about the Yankees to check on in and see what's going on with them and get your Yankee fix in the car or wherever. But I know right now, it's hard to feel positive about anything Yankees, right? We're so frustrated, we're so fed up. The press conference, nothing changing. I just, I talk all day to Yankee fans who, you know, tell me they'd rather, they're more into the liberty right now than they are the Yankees, which, I mean, if you like WNBA basketball, who am I going to tell you? No. But if that would have, if you're saying that for like a, to make the point of how much you hate the Yankees, I think that's outrageous, but whatever. It's so hard to feel anything positive about this team right now for so much of the fan base. We're going to forget, I hope we don't. I hope we do understand the value of the 162 and having a baseball season and being a fan of a team and not just chasing championships. I know it's about championships, but there's also value to it's six months of your life, man. I love baseball. I love watching baseball. I love watching Yankee baseball. I hope that the Yankee fans can at least take out a lot of the different things we saw this year that were fun, that were exciting, that do make you feel good about the future of this team. None of those were more evident than the season we got out of Cam Schlittler. It was a special season. I'm confident in him and I feel good about where he is and what he's going to be moving forward. But let's be fair. Who knows if we ever see a season like this out of Cam Schlittler ever again. So treasure it. It was an incredible year from the beginning, following off what he did. Game three of the wild card against Boston, where he really hit the scene in the quote from Boone after the game of, we, I think we just saw a star emerge right before our eyes. Then he files it up with this season that was just, I mean, every start, you know, 21 runs starts, just dominant doing with pretty much just fastball. Then he started incorporating the curve ball a little bit more and more. Then we saw just another absolute brilliant postseason start against the Boston Red Sox. Every night, I mean, it's one of the, it's probably the best pitching season Yankee fans have seen since Ron Guidry in 78 It's, it's, it's, there's no other season between now and then that's been nearly as dominant.
