 If you were watching our simulcast of the Michael K. Show earlier today, you would have seen and heard that the Yankees lineup tonight was a huge topic. Well, when Aaron Boone spoke to the media a little while ago, that was definitely a topic. It is our quote of the day. His answer is presented by Toyota. Just today, one that I feel like he really needs. And, you know, in this stretch where obviously he's been one of the ones that have obviously played a ton and some really long games, some day games after a night game, a day game coming tomorrow, he needed one today. What tells you he needs one? Does he come to you? Do you even ask him? We talk. You know, we have a really good dynamic in that regard. And, you know, I mean, he's always ready to post. But today was the day that I really felt like today was the day he needed it. He plays a big role on this team both offensively and defensively with the team scuffling still seven and a half games back in the division. Is there temptation to continue to run him out there? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's today is a very hard one when all we're going through is as a club and obviously who he is to our team. But, you know, I also have to at times keep the big picture in mind, especially with him in trying to make sure that we get him posting as much as possible, which obviously he's done a ton this year. But today was the day I was pretty convicted that he needed to be down. Did he fight you on at all? No, we talked about it. And again, we have a good dynamic and a good relationship in that regard. And so today was the day. Who else? Marley Rivera, please unmute. Hey, Erin, same thing for Gio, just Gail. Just a day for Gio, been wanting to get Rugi in there. You know, want to get another, at least another lefty bat in there against Otani. And with Gio being a little bit banged up, obviously coming back from last week, yeah, just a day. And Erin, obviously you've addressed this before. But just as a baseball fan, what Shohei Otani continues to do, how does it impress you? Yeah, I mean, it's, you know, all the things, you know, we're hearing and the once in a lifetime and once in a generation type talent, I don't think that's hyperbole at all. You know, I mean, it's impressive. It's been even more impressive to witness now up close, obviously playing against him. And, you know, hopefully, you know, he's coming up in situations where we have a sizable lead and nobody on base and things like that. And obviously he's having a great year on the mound as well. And we get to see that and have that challenge facing us tonight. And so with no judge or Urshela, here's a look at the Yankees' whole lineup. The outfielders are the 7-8-9 hitters. Miguel Andujar, Clint Frazier, Brett Gardner. While DJ Lameju slides over to third in place of Gio, Rubenette O'Dore plays second bat sixth. O'Dore had a three hit game in his last start, June 24th, against Kansas City.
