 I have a theory I want to run by you and see if you agree so after you guys got swept the four games in Boston I almost got the sense That on the team there might have been a little bit of a complacency. Okay, we're gonna make the playoffs as a wild card We're not gonna catch Boston, but we still have a chance to beat him if we win the wild card Let's just get right. Let's just get ourselves right and ready for the playoffs. Do you sense any of that? No, I sense right now we understand that hey, we need to start playing Up better. We need to get our guys rolling in the right direction, right? Because again, you want to be playing your best as you go into the playoffs and the reality of the situation is Right now with where we're at. It looks like we're gonna be playing a one-game play in essentially to to to make that happen and our our next goal is to Hopefully make that a home game But it you know, it's in a lot of ways gonna come down to that and hopefully as we move into that The playoff situation. We're playing our best baseball. Hopefully we're as healthy potentially as will be at any time of the year and we feel like In that kind of scenario We're as we're as dangerous and as good as anyone that we're gonna go up against and and I'll take our chances Have you allowed yourself Aaron to think about who would be pitching in that game? We I would say we've started to kind of think about it a little bit or at least You know, I've started to kind of envision might be in that game I think I think you can draw conclusions about who who the few guys potentially could be in that Situation, you know, who might be bullpen options from the starters as well in a game like that I guess But we also want to finish strong here and then if we're in a position to kind of juggle our our staff Exactly how we want in those final days That'll be something we consider But I would say we're still ten days two weeks out from even really thinking about who would be that guy Hey, Aaron, it's your favorite member of the show Peter. Um, a Few there's been a lot of chatter about the team in general during this time without Aaron Judge that is about a spark an intensity a fire and a couple weeks ago I certainly got pumped up when I saw you really light that umpire up Did you sense that the team took anything from that and got a little bit of an extra emotional boost when they saw you sort of go to that place I Mean, I don't know. I mean I think because we ended up I think we're actually might have been even getting no hit in that game that we go out the next inning and Break out so of course, that's the you know the the correlation But I think sometimes we we overreact to those kind of things Look, we're really good and when we're right, we're really good And so I don't want us getting caught up in the emotions of every day I want us to be really good I want us to be really prepared going into the game so that the emotional swings of a season Certainly of a playoff scenario. Don't necessarily affect us too profoundly I want us to be locked in on what our job is and how we're gonna do it And I think what we can do that will be at our best song with Yankee manager Aaron Boone here on the Michael K So now to piggyback on Peter's question Aaron Yankee fans seem and we we end up every game or every show Defending you well, he's not fiery that that's why they're not fiery. He's not ripping them I mean it seems like fans want a pound of flesh Can you ever even envision yourself doing that? Do you think that that has any validity to it all? Who's to say I have it or who's to say we have it or who's to say, you know I mean we do things behind the scenes all the time that You know our Maybe address those certain concerns Look at the end of the day. I'm I Think I'm fairly a test behind the scenes But I hope there's a there's a laid-back way that I go about things at the end of the day I want to be authentic and emotionally Consistent almost every single day, right? I mean obviously there's gonna be things that come up that you have to address in a certain way or are In a in a way that's uncomfortable But hopefully my players see every single day They know in that office in that chair somebody that Consistent and they know who I am and what I'm about And I always say when when we talk about this on there I mean that's one of the reasons you got the job because of that emotional consistency where they don't want you to be too high They don't want you to be too low. They want you to be who you are But it seems like fans want you to rip players Publicly and I just don't think that in this day and age in sports that that's gonna work. Do you? Look, I think every every individuals a little bit different and I think it's upon coaches Manager leadership rules to try and take me to every individual night. Obviously, you've got to have a stand In a way an overall team Consistence and standard and rules set and all that but there's also I think it's very important for us to be able to tap into what makes individuals tick How do we get the best out of each guy and I think that's up upon us to kind of understand and be able to kind of hold our message Sometimes for individuals, you know, the old saying Some guys kicking the bike, you know that I think I think is something that as as a manager, you know I've got to be able to tap Of our players does it ever happen consciously or subconsciously? Aaron where I need to do it differently than Joe did it last year when that information is available to you No, no when I when I came to this or you know decided to You know take this Take this on or you know throw my hat the ring if you will The only thing I ever want to be in this job in any job. I have or in life is authentic You know, you can't you know, I think players especially will smell a fraud and And for some guys, you know, some guys are more firing or some guys are more laid-back or I think it's important that you're Authentic your job and I try to be that every single day
