 Aaron Boone now about the outcome of the manager's report brought to you by Geico. Aaron when I asked Jordan Montgomery why he he thought he struggled so much this afternoon he said he wasn't quite sure from your vantage point why do you think he struggled. A little hard time putting some guys away. You know they did a good job with two strikes. I thought they had some some good at bats off them. You know I think a couple of times when he's trying to show the fastball late in the count with two strikes. I didn't get it where he wanted to made a couple mistakes with that. In trying to go back soft. Maybe not as real good swing and miss secondary stuff today. And I thought they did a good job of of sitting on it in some situations and and put some good swings and and they you know all day they did a really good job with with two strikes. And with two outs they got some big two out hits and but I think it was just a little bit of that just having hard time putting guys away and get into that that final situation there. He had mentioned the fact that he was getting ahead of a lot of hitters. Is that just frustrating to watch when you have a guy that seems as though he should be able to get out of that out of it. And he's not able to perform with that put away pitch. Yeah. I mean you know it does happen though. I mean you know they have good hitters over their capable oven. And in some cases you got to tip your cap. You know they they I thought put some good swings in situations. Franco you know had some good swings. You know Galvis did a good job with two strikes of putting a good swing. You know that some soft contact go against them for some hits that set them up to get back in the game. Yeah. But overall just you know not quite his best swing and miss secondary stuff when he did have some count leverage. We go next. And you keep winning series. There's been a number of these series where you you went in the final game with an opportunity to sweep and and and couldn't. What what do you make of that. I mean is that so you know that I can't. Yeah. I mean that's that's baseball. They they you know put it on us a little bit and with a lot of big at bats and a lot of two out of bats today. You know we go out and get four in that first inning and obviously you feel good about that but just weren't able to add on and they chipped away. And I mean that's I thought we came out with the with a good focus today and you know just couldn't close it down. And another big day for judges were pretty much at the quarter mark in the season or what what do you make of what he's done so far. Yeah. Yeah. I mean it's just been this last week. I feel like he's just really really controlling the strike zone so well and and you know that discipline is getting them into some good situations and when he does get a pitch right now you know it's usually he's put hidden over the fence. So I feel like he's he's settling into the season in a really good way and love where he's at obviously. I sure still feel like there's even more in there for him though like I mean that's the scary part so it but it's definitely good to see him you know having these at bats over and over again now. The next. Aaron Bowlin Aaron how concerning is it for you to see Gary take the number of balls off the mask that he took in the early going particularly and they I think it was a third inning. Yeah. Yeah. A couple couple of good shots there. You know I think with Gary that that the hockey goalie mass has been something that's been real good for him because he usually that withstands a lot because I you know I jump up but you know seems like every few games when you and and he's I don't even think he's he's been affected by him so that's a good thing but that's always a scary thing especially you know sit where I am watching that when it when a good shot goes off a mask you always obviously kind of hold your breath there and just hope for the best but I think you know some of the technology besides behind some of the quick equipments you know helping things out a lot. Aaron was was Frazier OK after that dive in in right field. Yeah. Yeah. His sunglasses fell off and kind of rolled over. So yeah he was fine. It was obviously a great play. You know I got a I told him at a perfect angle of you know the ball kind of slice in a way and him and my peripheral closing in on it. I didn't think he was going to be able to get there and he needed every bit of that layout is really really good play in that spot. And it looked like your shallow was wasn't moving down the line great on that second double play that he didn't do any anything going on else with his knee. He's he's good. I mean Gio's like that a lot every year. I mean he'll he'll he kind of moves around like that sometimes. So obviously you know with with his knee from last week and obviously given him a day the first day in here. It's something that will obviously monitor closely and you know he's getting the necessary treatment and then you know I'll check in with him here after but not something I'm overly concerned about. And do you anticipate having a door tomorrow when you get to Texas. I don't know about tomorrow. But I do feel good about that he's going to be in play for us at some point in Texas whether that's tomorrow possibly Tuesday. We'll just have to see. But he had another good day today. Yeah. The next morning. I'm higher and what are you seeing lately from Gary Sanchez at play. I'm really excited. You know I in a lot of ways I feel like this is the best and going back now week and he's actually you know he's gotten results. He's walking obviously said a couple home runs he's gotten some hits. But he's also hidden some tough luck in and I just feel like starting to win a lot of pitches and and I feel like you know he's he's made a little adjustment obviously with you know quieting down the leg kick and everything and I feel like it's putting him in a really good position to make great swing decisions to be on time. And I feel like you know I feel like in a lot of ways this is the he's in the best place right now that he's been in a long long time. And I'm excited about you know what potentially lies ahead for him with what we're seeing right now. Eric could you give us an evaluation of the first game for Lamar. Yeah I mean you know with Zimmerman I think he had him out in front of some change ups where he put the ball on the ground and then probably you know had a good at work the good at bat against them. I think it might have been his last time. Got the 3 2 and probably expanded a little up and away. But you know I thought competitive at bats just you know couldn't quite finish finish the at bats off and obviously not a lot of not a lot of action in the field today so you know it's good to have him. He's a pro and I feel like he'll he'll give us some competitive bats against some left ease and and and bring bring something on the defensive side also. And I don't know what the stat is on it but I assume you guys have it lost many games if you three home runs and I mean that that's kind of the forte if you with the guys that you've missed this past week being out pretty big pieces. Are you are you encouraging the fact that at least some other guys in the offense are going to are kind of cranking up a bit. I mean judges carrying a lot of it as well. But yeah I mean obviously judge you swing it really well and and you know we're yeah we're getting there. We're you know they're they're grind away. We're starting to see you know better at bats. Again I go back a few weeks now and it's been better. We haven't broken through all the way where we're all click in quite yet and we're just going to keep working to get to that point and get to that point of where we know we're capable of. Thank you. You're in what a John Carlos Stanton do today and you expect to have him tomorrow. We'll see I haven't I haven't gotten the report yet on you know I know he moved around I know he took some swings moved around the weight room obviously a day game. We weren't out on the field and stuff. So we'll see where he's at and and you know make an evaluation going into tomorrow.
