The Yankees Rotation Must Go Deeper In Games

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
That's right, back to school, back to school.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:04)
Nothing's changed for me.

**Craig Carton** (0:05)
Prove to my dad that I'm not a fool. Nothing's...

**Chris McMonigle** (0:08)
I got my boots tied tight.

**Craig Carton** (0:09)
Yes, there you go, you get it.
Happy... Billy Madison. Every time I say back to school, that's what comes to mind. Of course. So we'll get... We'll have a little fun with that too. Later in the show, I want to talk about how I'm still a child, even though I put children on the bus.
But we'll get to the football as well. Joe Shane spoke for the New York Giants. What's the expectations for Joe Shane and the New York Giants? And I think we're going to have a long conversation about the backup quarterback for the New York Jets and their head coach and his standing inside the organization. But we will start with last night's Yankee game. They bounced back after what was a debacle out in Anaheim against the Angels, who just got sold. And I think we should have a bigger conversation about that as well as we found out the number of $4 billion. And Garrett Cole had something to say about it. But the New York Yankees do bounce back. They have a convincing win against the Angels. And we saw some good, we saw some bad. We saw some different things. But first, let's just say hello, Anthony Gallo. Fill it in today. How are we doing?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:05)
This feels awesome.

**Craig Carton** (1:06)
It's nice to sit in here, right?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
I didn't realize the dumplings don't come with the in-studio appearance.

**Craig Carton** (1:11)
Just an enormous peach.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:12)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:13)
You brought in a peach in a Ziploc bag. First, you had to use the full size Ziploc bag to put that peach in there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:18)
To be fair, it's the only Ziploc bag.

**Craig Carton** (1:20)
That is the most enormous peach I've ever seen.
It's like Kramer in that Seinfeld episode, the Mackinaw peaches that are only in season a couple of months a year. You don't get the reference? No. What's wrong with you?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:34)
No, but it's the best peach you'll ever have. I had one the other day in Hoffman in front of me because I made a mess in the control room because it's just a giant peach.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
It's an enormous peach.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:42)
I've never seen anything like it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:43)
It is delicious. I'm going to cut it up. I'll let you guys have to.

**Craig Carton** (1:46)
Oh, I can't wait.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:47)
I've built a relationship with the woman at the farmer's market.

**Craig Carton** (1:49)
Sometimes big fruit like that ends up not being that flavorful.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:52)
It is. Oh, it is.

**Craig Carton** (1:53)
You sure?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:54)
It's juicy.

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
I feel like it's just a big peach that's going to be bland. You got one big bland peach there.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:59)
No, it's not. Well, they're not always this big, but she had big ones this week, so I grabbed them. She did.
Your fruit lady? Yes. My farmer's market lady that has, it's created a rift in my household. Saturday's mornings are for me and the farmer's market lady. Peaches, tomatoes, they make a jam. I get very excited.

**Craig Carton** (2:17)
I can tell.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:17)
Look at you.

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
You're a fresh product guy.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:20)
You being a kid, I've aged since moving into my apartment 30 years.

**Craig Carton** (2:24)
Oh, I'm still a child. We'll get to that later. All right, but let's talk about the New York Yankees as they bounce back. And a couple of things, good and bad, that I saw. First, let's talk with the one thing, I'll start negative. Why not? Big Mac, I'm a big negative Yankee guy. Here's the one thing I'll say. As the Yankees did bounce back last night and you had Garrett Cole on the mound, my one concern about Garrett Cole, and really it leads into the entire conversation, about the bullpen and how important it is. If you look at this starting rotation, which without question, we'll get into the offense and we'll get into Spencer Jones. I know everybody wants to talk about Spencer Jones. I had a thought yesterday and I'm already waffling on it. I kind of waffled on it yesterday while I gave the take. He is emerging and making his presence known with back-to-back home runs. But here's my thought on Garrett Cole and the Yankee pitching staff, which without question, hopefully judge is coming back. Maybe Spencer Jones is coming into his own. I even want to talk about jazz because I think we're seeing better swings from jazz over the last few weeks than we have seen all year, all trending in the right direction despite being an offense that's certainly up and down still without their captain.
