don't worry folks I'm still here I'm barely breathing but I'm still here man this was uh I'm sorry for how late this video is um a lot of work today with my jobs and uh between all that between the videos I had to put out between the soccer games congratulations to Spain uh and thank you to England for allowing it having it so that the Yankees did not have the worst loss of the day congratulations you clearly WN that but um man this was I know a lot of you expecting a rant a Frankie rant and between everything today I wasn't really able to get R up if I had you know been totally invested in this I probably would have but there's a reason why I'm not pissed off as much as I should maybe it's me getting older but I just knew it something about the way this game played out I just had a feeling with rodon only going four Innings of course in that four inning he somehow allowed to give up a home run couldn't you know couldn't have that couldn't have Aon game not giving up on B to gun I know it's gunar Henderson but come on we're paying you $28 million to go four Innings so between that between the Yankees trying to get in the game but not really doing anything except for Tren Grisham of all people Trent Grisham going getting three hits today scoring the first two runs of the game the RBI single in the Home Run Tren Christian will have like one game every month where he's like Barry Bonds and this was that game still batting 195 though though sweet so that you tie the game up there then you have Santander at the Home Run 3-2 Yankees try but can't get can't get in the game the sixth seventh or eighth inning eighth inning was great Austin Wells grounded into the patented Yankee double play and then the ninth came around and we get a gift of an inning two walks and then the mother FN Ben Rice doing it again pulling us through getting this Victory we thought at the time but a massive 3-1 shot and arguably the hit of the Year arguably the play of the Year arguably this could have been the win of the year for the Yankees we're thinking after all this we're going to sweep the Orioles and we're going to take first place in the American League East how was the Yankee fans thought some reason I was watching this I wasn't totally confident I just I I'm telling you I don't know what it was I've seen this team before maybe it's the fact that I remember that three years ago 2021 I remember it was also the Euro final England lost that day too that was also I believe the same day in which the Astros um beat the Yankees had a six-run comeback in the ninth inning over the yanes it was either that or that was the day in which the Red Sox came back from like four in the eighth inning uh it was one of it was one of those comebacks on those days I think it was the red so now thinking back on but either way it just the day felt familiar it felt just like the Guardians game and the Royals game earlier this year which it felt like this team had a chance to pull off a sweep we make a big comeback late and we just can't get it done because some trickery happens either the closer can't close or the def defense is garbage and it turned out to be both so I just had a feeling even watching Ben r at the Home Run I was I was happy I had a feeling sure enough all my worst fears came true in the bottom of the nin inning by the way just minor complaint um Roku sucks and I hope this is the last time we have to pay for I basically baseball why you stroke for Cas you're going to Roku no one has Roku you this is what I'm gonna rant about why you giving Roku money why are you letting Roku play games no one cares about Roku for F's sake do you need money that bad badly are you that much of a that you are willing to go to Roku joke anyway so bottom of nth comes around and again all my worst feel Fe all my worst fears come true single to Stowers we get ker on a force out Ryo her and walk we get Gunderson out on strikes two outs still two on but two outs we need one more and we pull off the weep and then we go to hell at a hand basket I don't know what Anthony bupy was doing there just could not handle it bu you gota be better than this man not only is your offense taking a turn here but you folded there but come on man you got to you've been doing this too long you got to be better on defense you have to be able to come up with that play in that spot you got to be able to do it and it's just tough Like It's just tough like like this and I'm already seeing people complain oh you know vulpi it's just not working out you know we got to move on from look I still think the kid is good but it's just times like this where you just really just put your hand in your head like come on at this at this stage you be better you should be able to pick up a grounder like that you should be able to handle that it was not though the worst uh defensive play of the inning because Yankees still should have won this game and yet I want somebody maybe Alex fugo's I've not seen yet maybe Alex fugo's G an explanation of what the heck happened because it really is inexcusable I believe I read it was a 99% chance of him of him making that catch like is his catch probability was 99% there was no reason for him to you know and I understand that he you know after the game he said that's on me you know he you know he went to the locker room and said that's on me I credit for that but still it was rare to see somebody on the Yankees have some accountability but dude how long you've been in the league and you're making that boneheaded like how how you lose a ball that badly how do you lose it to where like you know like you're supposed to go you're supposed to go back not front I'm just I'm looking at the replay here and it's just like you see right off the bat like what what the heck do you think happened how do you missplay it that horrendously and it's only fitting that on the day that jacobe Jones great Rens receiver passed away it reminded me of the jacobe Jones touchdown that he scored against the Broncos in 2013 where he Moore just had terrible coverage didn't know what he like he was doing there just ran backwards and just misplaced the ball that was Verdugo there Verdugo is paying tribute to Kobe Jones with just the most inexplicable play you can ever you know imagine you should be dude you've got to be better than that come on how is this team so bad on defense on defense and the Yankees lose inexplicably the Yankees lose this game a game they absolutely should have one and heartbreak and I'm now reading the quotes from vulpi vulpi said you know I didn't move my feet and I like this quote good infielders move their feet to get a good hop so he's admitting he's not a good infielder which I appreciate the honesty I'm also scared that he's like you're too I'm like he admits he's not a good infielder this is uh you know Yankees I'm starting to be concerned here but this is how crushing of a loss this was for the Yankees it feels like we got swept this was such a demoralizing loss that it feels like we got swept and we still won the series so a great series the offense picked it up and yet this was such a heartbreaking devastating brutal loss that it feels like we got St it feels like we're now eight games out of the a East we're only one game out talk about two teams in the Yankees and Royals who are again as I mentioned who are just trying to give away this division nobody wants this Division and the Yankees today firmly said we don't want it you take it but what an awful loss and as I said It reminds me very much of the Guardians game on April 14th we lost that one 8-7 in the 10th inning that was the game in which we tied in the ninth on the bup RBI double reso hit the single in the 10th then Guardians scored three defense was terrible there and the other game it reminded me of was um June 13th against the Royals that was again about to sweep about to sweep Kansas City we scor three runs in the eighth inning resoomer vulpi ground out Soo single and then the Dodgers come back clay holes Wills to save this was exactly that we get The Comeback we think we're going to win it and either bad pitching or just you know because the Bas should have been loaded there CL you got to do better and bad defense wead to this team Los in this game A fitting end a fitting end to what has been a mind numbingly painful first half I'm glad it's over I'm glad we get a couple days off but boy this talk about a punch in the goads this was just just I haven't think about worst losses of the might be it just for it looked like we had it and something so dumb as Mis Fielding you know not misplaying a flyball that's what cost us the game terrible terrible job by the Yankees terrible job by vugo defense got to be better but again I'm glad glad the first half is over I'm glad this team won't stress me out for a few more days and to all of you that were hoping for a rant again I'm sorry but this is the best you can get for me today maybe after the allstar break I'll be back and ready to go but this was horrendous horrendous performance by this team terrible loss and now again thank God we got a couple days oh by the way y Vivas we brought him up just to send the guy down he got an option he was in three games this weekend he didn't appear in any of the games why bring him up nobody wastes young prospects like the Yankees nobody makes more dumb decisions like this than the Yankees I hate the fact that I'm rooting for this team it is truly like rooting for England it it is hopeless although we've had more Hardware than England still just dumb DEC and and by the way Boon had the nerve today after the Press say we've turned the corner why don't you turn the corner into a ditch you son of a gun you despicable garbage manager terrible terrible loss thank you guys for watching thank you for watching me through the first half of the season when sometimes videos were inconsistent thank you for always being there for me we'll be back for the second half and pray to God things get better pray to God we have fielders who can learn how to field that's so hard take care and gobl
