 So let's set the table with this disappointing loss by the Yankees there four games back in the loss column going into Fenway Park Four games against the Red Sox overall There's ten games remaining between these two teams the Yankees have handled business so far Taking five of the first nine games when the Yankees go into Fenway tomorrow Paul What has to be their thought process? Well, it's obviously to play a good solid game to get back on track and not get pushed around in Fenway Park I mean Boston's looking at they have an opportunity to snip on the Yankees neck and really get some distance The Yankees on the other hand are looking at we can get back in this race and now Kenny when you go into a series like this Does the team think we've got to take three or four? We can't do worse than splitting Can you allow yourself to think like that? Well, you know, you got to get at least a split You can't leave further back than when you left when you came in I think from the Yankees standpoint though You mentioned the ten games to me if the Yankees want to gain ground on the Red Sox and get to the point where they can actually win The division they got to win at least seven of those games seven of the ten and you've mentioned they've played Well against Boston thus far and I don't think Fenway Park scares the Yankees I mean, this is just an historical thing. This has been going on for a long long time So they got to go in try and take care of business been a little bit of a different feel now because there's gonna be No Aaron judge in this series. Chris. Yeah, we're supposed to start tomorrow for the Red Sox now It's Brian Johnson against CC. Sabathia. So I wonder if the vibe changes a little I don't think so I think it's about the wins and losses because the vibe will be towards the end of the season if this race is still close and For it to be close the Yankees have to play well this weekend now. You've both played big games at Fenway Park What's that atmosphere like I like going in there because you know the place is gonna be packed It always is I think it brings energy But you got to turn the energy of the crowd away from the Red Sox it onto yourself You got to take that negative vibe that the fans gonna bring you bring to you and just turn it to into a positive score runs early in The game kind of take the crowd out of it You know we spoke about this after the Aaron judge injury who has to step up at Fenway Park I'm looking at a guy like Stanton who has hit the Red Sox very well this year and the two kids Will they be overwhelmed? It doesn't like the other type of kids that would be no and I think the Greg Brigand Aaron Hicks are still my guys that that needs to step up I don't think Boston's gonna let Stanton kill him Well, he will he hit a home runner to maybe but they're not gonna let him dominate the series offensively now The Yankees obviously are holding their breath about Jay Hap with Lance Lynn going today the long relief outing He's not a possibility to pitch on that Saturday. So they need half to get over this quickly Well, hopefully he does he's pitch well against the Red Sox and in the past He's been in division for a number of years with Toronto. So he's been at Fenway Park And he knows what the atmosphere is like. Well, we certainly don't have to sell it Yankees Red Sox. Oh, he's great Now there's a lot on the line neither team wants to be the wild card They want to win their division right now the Red Sox have the lead it starts tomorrow. We're looking forward to a Bob
