the Yankees are under a lot of fire in the media despite the fact that jzz Schism Jr is really excited to get his first dosage of New York Yankees playoffs somewhere where the Yankees are now not expected to succeed and we're going to break all this down so what's up guys welcome back to Yankees digest it's Chris here and J Schism Jr is so excited to be a Yankee as we know he's been playing so well since he's got here completely had a Revival on a season that was not going well that's what happens when you get a guy like him who gets motivated he starts looking like the MLB star that he is now let's take a look at what Chism had to say because it's everything you want to hear from this guy talking about the recent game that the Yankees played J chisa mentioned that they got a strike out at the end of the eth inning I don't know why I said the recent game that the Yankees played like it was like weeks ago or something but um we're going to pull past or push past that if we will uh we're going to pull past it new Yankees digest thing it ain't even October yet I can't can't wait it's going to be amazing I think I'm just going to go out there and play my heart out every day I'm going to leave it all out there until we get that ring Jazz Chisum Jr is more excited than I have seen a player to be to be a Yankee in a very long time he is thrilled about this team we've seen him be very much just Jazz Chism he's the same guy he hasn't buttoned it up since he's on the New York Yankees he's giving the Yankees what they need a taste of just Modern Baseball having fun showing emotion doing the things that the other sports do which gives them more eyes and more Spotlight Jazz Chism is doing great things for not only baseball but for the New York Yankees and he's giving the Yankees the type of vibe that they have needed and it's working out really well so looking at the Yankees you'd imagine things are all great looking into the playoffs and that's not totally not true I mean Jazz Chism Jr on the season has put up kind of numbers that are yes above average but not anything where you'd scream this guy's MLB Superstar the problem is he played a good chunk of the year with the Miami Marlins basically half the season and clearly that had a bit of a let down now that being said his on base plus slugging is good and it's above 750 which is what you want his Ops plus which the average is 100 he's at 111 doing well 133 hits on the season great season for JZ Chism Jr especially when half of it he was playing on a terrible terrible team but also just looking at the Yankees and what Jaz Schism has done since he's got here he's a batting average of nearly 300 with 37 hits nine home runs 16 RB and 23 runs scored all that just done in 32 Games jzz chism's been amazing but the Yankees have not been that amazing with only a 44 and 43 record and batting a 247 as a team since June 1st 2021 won why am I bringing this up because an MLB analyst that every single Yankees fan loves had something to say Sal Lata said I don't think they're any good talking about the Yankees they're barely above 500 for the better part of three months but they're likely going to win the division and get a buy well welcome to baseball s why are you saying that like now it's a bad thing that it's the Yankees who despite having a bad record are just going to get a free buy oh the Yankees don't deserve it they don't they haven't played well I mean what have the Yankees done well this season let's be real with our oh they're the first seed okay that makes sense should the first seed get a buy because the last few months they weren't as good meaning they stayed at the first seed anyway with their play I don't know I don't know guys should yeah they they absolutely should now they totally should I don't see the point what you're trying to make they're the one seed in the entire American League not just the AL East the entire American League the Yankees are the one seed what are you saying obviously they should get a buy if they're the one seed I don't care if their record is 44 and 43 since they had that hot start they're still the one SE the MLB has been strange this season oh s s s s these are what Yankee fans think of s whenever he opens his mouth and talks about the team however this is not the first time that that's happened now In fairness to Sal Lata he just says some interesting things sometimes such as that Juan stto takes too many walks in big situations you know when you want guys on base that type stuff n stto walks too much in all seriousness yes the Yankees do have some problems they are 44 and 43 since June 1st and that's worrisome I'm not going to act like it isn't but I just think to say that they don't really deserve a buyer to act like they don't when a team hasn't taken them over for the one SE in the American League East makes a point invalid I get it I've been very very upset with the way the Yankees have played trying not to curse um I really think the Yankees have not been that good this season I'm very disappointed in the since the summer started Aaron judge has effectively been Barry Bonds for the team and they haven't really capitalized on it with questionable pitching partially because gar Cole spent the year rehabbing from injury which seems like he's turned a corner on which is very good Clark Schmid's finally back and he was injured he was their best pitcher for a while Luis heels battling back from an injury after not really getting actual meaningful MLB time since or just Baseball playing in general and pitching at a professional or minor league level since what early 2022 it's understandable why one should be upset with this team the pitching has been unfortunately rattled by injuries and that's a problem Marcus strowman's inconsistent Carlos rodon is a massive mystery Nester Cortez is sometimes really good and looks like a phenomenal pitcher and other times you wonder why he's not in the bullpen or something the Yankees bullpen in general speaking of it has been a problem I'm not trying to act like the Yankees don't have their issues they certainly do they're still the one seed I feel like people are counting them out because they've been playing badly since then everyone knows baseball's a game of momentum long-term momentum momentum hardly ever shifts in one game and when it does it usually gets shifted in literally one inning and one at bat or something like that that is how fast momentum can shift in baseball but usually when a team gets momentum they're hot for a good amount of time I'm not saying that the Yankees have just been called for three months that's just it's just bad a a analysis I can't speak guys um it's bad analysis to say the Yankees have been bad for the last or have been in a bad streak for the last three months they just haven't been that good they also haven't been bad over 500 isn't bad is it playoff level no not really has another team managed to take the Yankees over for a one seed when a one seed really should not be a one seed if they're nearly 500 since June 1st probably they should so they didn't so by comparison the Yankees aren't that bad that's what that means I just want to make it clear that that is what that means if a team had was really good and then has been the epitome of okay and no team got better than them when they were just okay means they're not bad in comparison to the rest of the American League the national league different story Phillies have been phenomenal they're taking that one seed from the Dodgers the Dodgers are just a perennial let down don't understand what's wrong with them but it's hilarious honestly I'm really interested to see what happens in this postseason I have a feeling things are going to get real weird real fast I'm pretty excited for the chaos guys let me know what you think down below like this video subscribe turn on post notifications have a great day
