 here from Luke. Hey Luke can you just describe what's been going on with this team right now the offense in particular. Not getting the job done. I mean that's all I got to say. Honestly it's it's everybody in our lineup. You know it's we need to we need to figure this out. We got 18 games left and we got to keep grinding. I believe in this team. I know it's a repetitive statement and it's been frustrating for everybody but we got to break through somehow you know it's kind of the game's crazy game but we just got to you know trust it and believe in ourselves that we're going to get the job done tomorrow. We could take a next question for Luke. We'll go to James Wagner. Hey Luke you guys are a 500 team right now and you've eight seed holding out of eight seed there in the playoffs. Do both of those kind of feel like alarming or surprising to you given how you started at the town on this team. Yeah I mean I almost feel like it's embarrassing for us right now especially with everything that's been going on and you know it's it's hard to put a finger on everything. I mean I feel like everything's just not going our way but we're still in it. You can't ever count us out and you know our goal is obviously getting the you know playoffs. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we get in. I think we have a chance you know obviously with getting some of the guys back too but we just got to step up as a team. There's a lot of guys that need to step up in this clubhouse. And I know Cash talked to you guys earlier before the game before the game and he talked to us and explained what he told you guys. Do you feel like that was something needed. What did you take away from his comments to you guys. Just you know the confidence that we should have. I feel like a lot of guys have you know lost their confidence where that's you know at the plate or on the mound you know making mental errors when we need big plays and you know you got to remember who you are. There's a lot of good players in this locker room that are you know struggling right now and you know but in previous years in previous you know a couple weeks ago they were doing fantastic jobs and then we just got to get back to what the New York Yankees are. I mean I feel like teams aren't really scared of us right now and it's kind of a sad thing because we're the New York Yankees and we're you know obviously probably favored to you know win the vision this year and that you know obviously has gone away so we got to step it up. Excellent. We can take another for Luke if there are any. Eric Boland please unmute. Luke just to follow up on the cashman meeting just what were you guys thoughts when you know you heard hey we're going to have a meeting and the GM is going to address it. That doesn't happen very often certainly not with this franchise. Yeah it's you know something that you know obviously no one expected and for him to come in I mean it's he means business and you know he needed he knows that we need to play better and but you know it wasn't you know a panic button anything like that it was more of just you know go out there and be you and stop trying to be someone else and I think a lot of guys in the clubhouse are trying to get the job done instead of trusting it and you know doing all their homework on what they need to do and you know trust in their abilities you know all these guys made to the big leagues because their skills and because of their mental capacity and I think a lot of guys are getting away from it and trying to you know hit it through on Homer instead of maybe just getting a getting a guy over or you know making a big pitch in a certain count and then go into your secondary pitches it's I think it's a little bit overthinking but you know it's nice to have a GM that's in your corner and you know help try to bring the confidence back in the locker room. Thank you Luke. Next one to Brian Hoke. Hey Luke when you say you don't feel like teams around the league are scared of you guys anymore in what ways does that show up and what ways do you feel that. I just you know we're not getting it. I don't want to say they're not scared but it's just I just feel like you know you know we obviously don't have a lot of our guys and you know our big horses in our rotation and we don't have you know obviously G and judgey and you know we've just been playing like crap and it's the bottom line is I you know I mean we're getting beat by teams that we handily beat the last couple of years and they're out playing us and you know the bottom line is we need to go out there put our bootstraps on and get to go in tomorrow it's it's frustrating it's frustrating for us too I mean trust me I mean every time we think we have a chance that somehow we ended up doing something wrong and we just need to go back to having fun this game is already hard enough we're making it really hard on ourselves right now. Well Luke Voight with a lot of pizzazz in his comments and and a lot of self reflection and a lot of honesty there Jack. Spitting a lot of truths is what Luke Voight is doing right there talking about feeling embarrassed by the way the Yankees have played talking about teams are not intimidated by the Yankees anymore John Flaherty mentioned that earlier in our show and when you are a team that's lost 15 of its last 20 games you're not bullying anyone anymore and teams are hungry to beat you and we have seen that recently with the Orioles and with the Blue Jays a lot of respect for Luke Voight for bringing that honesty out of the clubhouse because yes the Yankees still have time to turn this around Ryan they've got 18 games left as of right now they control their own destiny but they also have the Orioles half a game behind them they have the Tigers one game behind them that was not supposed to be a factor for a team that thought it was going to win the World Series so I think as Luke Voight sat there and answered those questions there was almost therapy involved in that because he never expected to be talking about the Yankees in this position at this point.
