 We are joined by Connor Foley, the Times Tribune Beat Rider for the Yankees Triple A affiliate, the Scranton Wilkes-Berry Rail Riders. Welcome, Connor. We are going to dig right in with the story of Miguel Andujar. He's a big story and you have seen him work at multiple positions. What are your impressions as he's working his way back to the Big Club? And so far he's been pretty good as you know how we've seen Andajar look in the past in the games of the minor league season so far he's been playing left field which is fairly new to him. He made a really nice running play there one game and then the next game he was sort of a little too aggressive on one dive and the ball got behind him. But I'm guessing that you'd probably want guys who are learning the position to be a little more aggressive than too tentative right now. So you know overall in the field he's looked pretty good at the plate no surprise there he went he had four hits in his last game with the rail riders including a home run off former Yankees Farmer hands Steven Tarpley and then the other home run was against the position player because the rail riders scored a lot of runs in that game. But also in that game he had a couple line drive singles which is good from Miggy and you know the helicopter swing was in full effect too so. Very good. Before we go further we have to circle back a little bit to last year and some of your memories. Now you were not allowed in the stadium but where there's a will there is a way and we're going to call it all tree access and we've got video. Tell us about it. Yes. So there's the stadium in Scranton sort of sits at the base of a mountain or I mean it's a mountain but it's a hill and at the top of the hill is a movie theater and some hotels and so there's a long parking lot that sort of overlooks the stadium. And so I was able to find a couple spots in the movie theater parking lot to look into the stadium. You know if I was trying to look at hitters one day that was one spot. If I was looking more for pitchers the other day that was another spot and you know just did what I could. Now that I'm back in the stadium I look up at the hill and I kind of think you know what was I doing. It's a very far away. But you know whatever. There was nothing else to do. So you don't need to be done. You don't need the bug spray anymore. You're all good. I do not need the bug spray anymore. And that that's that's case stated in my mouth for a long time and I will never do that again. Very very nice. OK. Good thoughts. OK. What about the alternate site this year. Very different. You were allowed in the stadium and some real opposition to. Yeah I think that was big for the players was that this year they played the scheduled 18 games against the Phillies alternate site team in Allentown which is like an hour 20 drive from Scranton and a couple of those games got rained out. But I think that that was really key for the players to sort of see other pitchers than their own teammates. They were able to actually play their positions in games. A lot of times during the all set last year it would be like the out the outfielders would hit one inning and the infielders would play and the infielders would hit and the outfielders would play. So they're they weren't really structured like games last year. This year they are able to do that. And the Yankees outside team actually did pretty good. I think we think they lost only two or three games out of the ones that were played. So from a result standpoint I don't think they can do much better than that. But really how good is it to have the real minor league season back as started this week. Yeah I mean so far so good. The rail riders started the season in Syracuse and they actually opened up a new ish stadium. They did a lot of renovations up there. And so I think a lot of people in Syracuse were excited to see what the Mets had done to that stadium. I think the players were very excited to actually get to play in games that count and to get out of their hotel rooms that they've been in for the better part of a month here. And you're watching really the testing of some new rules. Yeah so each since when minor when Major League Baseball took over the minor leagues in the offseason they gave each level a rule to test to see if you know how they can maybe improve the game at the Major League level. The AAA level got larger bases. So the bases are three square inches bigger than the old ones. I had one player tell me that Derek Dietrich picked up the base when they first saw it and asked if anybody had ordered a large pizza because that's kind of what they look like. They're they do look a lot bigger. And we've actually seen I don't know if it's just because of the personnel that's on this rail riders team but we've seen a lot more tempted base stealing this year which is one of the goals that Major League Baseball is hoping for because the distance between first and second is a little bit shorter. And that's what they're hoping to see some more action in the games. I have to ask you about Luke Voight. You've seen him a lot. He is working his way back. I'm perhaps a return on Tuesday. He's had a chance to test that knee. How does he look. Yeah I mean he was ready to go from the first pitch you saw he hit it off the wall and Syracuse for a double. And then I believe it was his next at bat. He was able to really test out the knee. He had to beat out and field single. And so I mean that's pretty good. So far I think he's got four hits on the assignment with a double a home run and a couple walks and a couple strikeouts in the field. He's looked about as expected. He hasn't played a full game out there yet. I believe Aaron Boone told the New York media today that he's going to play seven innings in his rehab game today at first base. And then tomorrow he'll play a full game at DH. And then the rail riders are off Monday. So we'll see what happens after that. Before we let you go. Who has opened your eyes down there. One person for me that's over my eyes is Chris Gittins. He's you know got power that they talk about in sort of the Aaron judge John Carlos Stanton stratosphere. He's reached base in eight of his last nine played appearances. He hit his first triple a home run last night. And the big bugaboo against Chris in his career has been they strikes out a little too much. And so far he's only struck out once in 16 played appearances. So pretty good so far for Chris. Connor. Thank you so so much. Great having you on today. Our triple eight pipeline. Enjoy every game.
