00:00But you look at where they are.
00:01You look at what this team is.
00:03You got Judge coming back.
00:04You got all these injuries to the pitching staff.
00:06What's more important, winning every single game down the stretch?
00:09Or is it more important to do what you think is necessary to be in the best position you can
00:14be once the playoffs start?
00:16They know their pitching staff better than we do.
00:18That's a cop-out, though.
00:19No, it's not.
00:20You know that pitching staff as well as anybody.
00:21Yeah.
00:22So here's the basic question.
00:23Because obviously they're not going to win every game.
00:24The question is, yeah, but I know.
00:25Should Garrett Colve pitch last night?
00:27Yeah.
00:27So you get him against the Red Sox.
00:29Yeah, of course.
00:29The answer is yes.
00:30The answer is, without knowing anything on the inside, yes, the answer is yes.
00:34That's all I want to get from you.
00:35I want him to pitch more than not.
00:37I want him to pitch as much as possible.
00:38We need to, from this point on, with 30-whatever games to go, that's the question.
00:42Garrett Colve should have pitched last night.
00:44It's a fine line between how you want to attack this thing.
00:48Because it's down the stretch of September.
00:49You're just content getting in.
00:51As long as your pitching staff's healthy, you're good.
00:53It's not that I'm content.
00:54I want to win the division.
00:56If I can't win the division, I want to be the first wild card.
00:59Those are important.
01:00And it's all on the table right now.
01:02And it's all on the table out in front of them.
01:03But at the same time, what's more important?
01:05Do you push and risk injury or risk what's going on with this?
01:10The rest of the staff, we're sitting here waiting.
01:13We're like, oh, Luis Hill is throwing great in the bullpen down the minors.
01:15Oh, they need this.
01:17They got the young prospect coming up to pitch tonight.
01:20Like, they're doing everything they can.
01:22They're waiting for guys to come back.
01:24They're dealing with injuries in this pitching staff.
01:26They're still waiting for Judge.
01:28Lost Stanton while I was gone.
01:29Here's the question for the New York Yankees.
01:31They're firmly in a playoff position, right?
01:34So, as you head to October, yes, you want to make sure you're at the top of the division.
01:39You're at the top of the wild card.
01:41But you also want to make sure you're the best version of yourself.
01:44That's fair.
