Wah!

**Craig Carton** (0:25)
We didn't get a catcher!

**SPEAKER_6** (0:26)
Wah!

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
We didn't get a bitter reliever!

**SPEAKER_6** (0:27)
Wah! Wah!

**Craig Carton** (0:28)
Brian Cashman sucks!

**SPEAKER_8** (0:30)
Wah!

**Craig Carton** (0:30)
Aaron Boone's gotta go! Wah! House Steinbrenner's not committed to winning!

**SPEAKER_8** (0:34)
Wah!

**Craig Carton** (0:35)
That's a good one. And on and on and on and on.

**Big Mac** (0:38)
You're playing the hits, Craig.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
Meanwhile, you're three and a half games out of first place. You got a strike hold for the moment on the wild card spot. You may or may not get back John Carlos Stanton. You may or may not get back Aaron Judge. You sent Anthony Volpe back to the minors, which is something I thought you guys would all celebrate. So it's over as if the Yankees acquired a starting shortstop yesterday in the name of George Lombard. But the bitching and whining and moaning, frankly has become clourish to me.
A fake Yankee fan, but you're a real Yankee fan. I think Sean as well is a diehard Yankee fan.

**Big Mac** (1:15)
He's more unhappy with them than I am.

**Craig Carton** (1:17)
And these videos you people are putting out about, I remember back in sixth grade when I got this locker with my name on it and Brian Cashman was the GM.
Like stop your whining a moment because remember this, if in any day you guys want to become Mets fans, they're only eight miles away. If in any day you think it's better off rooting for the Mets, go right ahead. But I don't think you want that. Good afternoon, Big Mac. How are you?

**Big Mac** (1:49)
I'm doing well. I'm doing better.

**SPEAKER_8** (1:50)
Are you? You're doing okay?

**Big Mac** (1:52)
It took me a night.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:52)
Got out of your system a little bit.

**Big Mac** (1:54)
I mean, look, if you want, I could still bitch and complain because I still think...

**SPEAKER_8** (1:57)
If that's the way you feel, then do it.

**Big Mac** (1:58)
I still think the deadline was awful. I don't know how they didn't get a catcher or another bullpen on them.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:02)
Garcia Dam, they had a game-winning bomb last night.

**Craig Carton** (2:05)
Almost for a moment. And I wouldn't have had fun.

**Big Mac** (2:07)
Even Maddie Cashman, I still would have had fun about praising him and having a little fun in that moment.

**Craig Carton** (2:12)
It wouldn't have been like a typical Cashman thing to happen. You guys are all burying the guy.
And then the guy that he signs, the best slugger in the National League.

**Big Mac** (2:19)
In his first moment. In his first moment of any sort of real pressure, he comes through with an absolute bomb.

**SPEAKER_8** (2:26)
Best win of the year.

**Big Mac** (2:27)
Off of that trade deadline, that would have been the best win of the year last night. And then another part of what we talk about, needing another bullpen arm, not that he would have been there last night, but like needing another guy, cause this bullpen's on fumes, they have no choice but to go to Chevee, and he can't get it out.

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
Not only can't get it out, it's home run, home run, home run.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:47)
He's getting annihilated.

**Big Mac** (2:48)
And they leave him out there because the rest of the bullpen, you don't want to throw them and waste them now that the game's been blown open because that right now you only, as good as they've been, this bullpen is really one of the more interesting, weird, because they've been good. Like they've been really good. They've been one of the best bullpens in baseball, best ERA in baseball.

**Craig Carton** (3:07)
Pretty consistent.

**Big Mac** (3:07)
Most runners left on base in baseball. And yet when you look at it, you just, you go, they probably need more. Like it's not enough.
I trust the four guys, but let's be fair. It's Brett, Brett Hedrick.
I've never heard of the guy before a year and a half ago. Like it's Cheve, who's now sent down pretty much because he threw so many pitches. I do expect them back. He's pitched really well for them, but like he had a 70 RA with Colorado. Like it's black, it's Paul Blackburn. We saw him with the Mets. We've seen his career. He's nothing special. His entire career has been great for the last three months. Can you expect all of these things to continue? And even now you see how dead they get like, and what they pitch like when they're overworked. So it was just, they needed something.
