Michael Kay & Don La Greca respond to Hal Steinbrenner's comments today 

There’s zero percent chance hal watches every single game let alone every inning

The Yankees are PROFITABLE, Hal is happy That's it, that's literally all he looks at. Wallet big? me happy.

2024 Season will be repeat of the 2023 Season.

Yankees asked 4 people if they should keep Aaron Boone. 1.Bob Boone. 2.Susan Boone. 3.Bret Boone. 4.Laura Boone. Only 2 of the 4 said yes

Glad I was born during the core 4 Era because I might never see another yankees ws in my lifetime

I live in Arizona and won't buy the yes network to watch games. Money spent has to be on real talent. Cashman has destroyed this team with the worst trades in history. He gets to keep his job is disappointing. There is no guarantee that the highest payroll will win a championship. Look at the Mets

Signing Bellinger will not be fruitful.

so if the manager goes against the analytics and has to answer if his gut fails him ... who has to answer when the analytics fails (and a fair observation of the season is that the analytics failed miserably) ... explain that to me Hal or Brian .. anyone?? ... Bueller??? Bueller???

I respect Michael Kay. However, his Yankees Boy attitude is annoying.

Let's pretend adding a couple players fixes all the problems. The issue (for years) has been all or nothing hitting. Waiting on the home runs and striking out in the meantime. In 2023, even with all the injuries, the pitching was not the problem. So if you're telling me the answer is Keirmeier and Yamamoto, what exactly was fixed? Keirmeier solidifies the OF defense (despite Bader having done the same thing), but he's another unremarkable hitter in the lineup that can hit either .260 or .220. Yamamoto would make our rotation incredible, but again, pitching wasn't the problem. It's Soto or bust, guys. And that alone wont fix the offense, but it's the only move that we know goes in the right direction. Bellinger has a checkered past. I'm willing to bet on him, but that move could blow up in our face too. Soto is far less likely to fail. But the truth is, the entire organizational philosophy needs to change. Analytics is a powerful tool. It's also apparently a hell of a drug. It's not a philosophy, it's a utensil. It's not a list of commandments, "they're more like guidelines" (pirate accent). Moneyball was about how small market teams who can't attract big money players can count cards to equalize the playing field. It's done out of necessity. The Yankees are the biggest market team there is. They don't need to count cards. They can get the players they need. It's idiotic to use analytics to play like a small market team has to. You can just get guys that can hit. Do that.

Michael Kay likes Hal Steinbrenner because he pays his salary. No broadcaster today who works for a team, will EVER criticize that team.

He did the postseason remarks over Zoom... unbelievable.

Asking Swisher? The bar has never been lower

Hal only cares about his bank account and as long as us fans keep going to games,spending on merchandise etc Hal will never change. The only way to hurt Rich narcissistic people is to stop fueling their pockets with more money.

IF HAL Y CASHMAN THINK THE TEAM IS GOOD NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE

The problem is the team had a .227 BA that is why they were terrible, and they averaged only 4.1 runs per game.

Sell the team, Hal. You're not built for this.

Bellinger is not worth 35 a year , just my opinion but hes a 25 mil at best player

This team will be a repeat of the same 2023 as a yankee fan I hope fans don’t go at all if you a fan and buy season tickets you’re part of the problem we need to hold this team accountable.

That he watched every inning of every game is a lie. Nobody watched every game because they were unwatchable.

The Yankees aren't walking enough. Power hitting is more about taking pitches and getting something you can drive, not "swinging for the fences" If you take pitches, you walk more and hit with more power. You also strike out more but they are already striking out.

As expected, no changes will be made to the front office and management. They better trade or sign for some players. Otherwise, Yankee fans won't show up to the ballpark. I guess the Yankees think we are bluffing. We shall see...

That's a big NO on Bellinger, we don't need another career 250 hitter. He had 2 good years out of 7, stay away please.

Hal Steinbrenner comments=14MORE YEARS OF EMBARRASSMENT. WE ARE THE KNICKS

Forget Ohtani! We have an injured DH already.

Sell the team Hal

Michael Kay is parrot for Hal. Why not a $300 million if it gets us to the World Series? We need speed and players who can put the ball in play. But good luck with that when we strike out so damn much.

been saying this for the last couple months now that even when the Yanks have a 82-80 record, FO would be glorifying.. and Cashman just confirms it today by saying that this team is "f*cking good".. smh 🤦‍♀️

#firecashman #fireboone #don'tcare

The Yankees have ALOT of MAJOR problens, many of which, start and end with Brian Cashman. He's made alot of colossal mistakes. When his contract ran out a couple of years ago, he should not have been retained. Now the Yanks have a bevy of albatross contracts. Stanton, who has gone downhill like a meteor, and they are still on the hook for what 4/5 more seasons? They will probably have to eat the remainder if it, after '24,and release him. Giving Rodon that monster deal, after only one good season in SF. Add those to what they're paying Judge, and they can't take on another monster contract. Too many bad player contracts, and no way out of them for the next handfull of years. The Bombers are going to have a few down years till they clear that payroll glut, and including bringing in a new GM!

Hey Mikey you better like Hal Steinbrenner if you want to keep your job. That is just a bullshit line everyone uses before they say something even remotely negative. Like saying "with all due respect" before telling someone they suck. And I don't want Kevin Keirmier I think Estevan Florial is better than he is if they give him a real chance in CF. He did pretty well after it took the stubborn GM practically all season to bring him up from the minors while I had to watch Jake Bauers and Billy McKinney.

Are Swisher's opinions obtained before or after he's thrown a few beers down?

Nick "Mr. Happy" Swisher loves every single person on the planet. I think his legal address might be Disneyland.

Hal is calling the fans bluff about not showing up for this rerun. As long as the bottom line looks good then everything is fine in Steinbrenner land. I'm sure he's mad they didn't make the playoffs because he missed out on that extra revenue from the home playoff games. I sure hope he proves me wrong and spends a ton this off-season to cover up the errors that his GM has made of the years. If he's not man enough to fire his buddy Cashman, then he will have to cover him with his checkbook. If he'd fire Cashman he wouldn't have to spend so much gong forward,

Kiermaier?...lmao

Interesting thing about Zelus Analytic Audit company. Two former Dodger executives lead. These 3 teams used them also … Atlanta Braves, SF Giants & Tampa. That’s a good list of teams helped. Hope it works.

The Yankees are beginning to resemble the way the Jets operate.

If MK is right that HS cares, then the future looks bleak.

I’d like to see them just spend more wisely and spread out the $300m payroll better. A team with that kind of payroll should not be mediocre and at the bottom offensively. It’s like one big ticket item an off-season and then bargain basements to fill out the rest. They rarely sign those middle tier free agents, and that could go along way at least for depth purposes.

Mark my words, next year will be EXACTLY the same

How many teams during these last playoff games bunted? They got big hits in big situations. They need to also look at how they approach starting pitching. The guys who were terrible here but good elsewhere have said the staff told them which were their good and bad pitches and which pitches to throw more

Look plain and simple. The Yankees have been built on left handed power hitters and a strong lefthanded pitching staff.

Why change anything? They must be the best 4th place team in any division in MLB!!!

Of course the players love him they know if they mess up they still will get playing time

All that's needed are the strings on Kay's shoulders. Straight up puppet

I followed the Yankees religiously for 45 years. Last season after no changes were made I decided to take the summer off. All I missed was the 3 hours of aggravation per game watching that garbage. Better things to do and it was great. Looks like the same this year.

The base running was horrible!! How many runners got thrown out running to 3rd with less than 2 outs when a ball was hit to SS

I don’t want a shiny object. I want real long term change. But I know that’s a pipe dream. The Yankees are no different than any other major corporation. They will resist changing as much as possible so long as they are making a serious profit.

Don La Greca kept saying Twitter and not X.

Michael likes Hal. LOL

The fact that they do not have one coach with major league experience in their farm system is criminal in itself

If Hal is so involved how was he not attending that 3 day meeting in Tampa. Your the owner and you don't attend a big meeting like that. You just read 40 pages of notes from everyone smh thats not showing the fans he really cares. Yes he spends money but he keeps letting cashman spend bad money which is crazy.

WITHOUT ANY SPENDING TO IMPROVE THIS TEAM NO PLAYOFFS IN 24 NADA GEORGE IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE.

Cashman bet on injured players that failed. He can't accept responsibility for his big mistakes.

Finally, the sequel to "Dumb and Dumber"

Yankees aren’t getting Soto, Ohtani or Yamamoto.

They need a culture shock to bring about a future shock..... and if they do not produce a good season in '24 then there will be some 'big' changes made before the '25 season......

Acquiring or signing another big money player is not the answer. Don is the luckiest guy in the world.

So in one sentence u say hal cares next sentence u say they will make no changes

Cashman needs to consult The Texas rangers GM Chris Young to see how it's down in a short time.

Totally agree with your conclusion: they will make a big splash with something, stay pat with everything else, get the same results.

Bellinger CF (L) Judge RF Soto LF (L) Stanton DH Rizzo 1B (L) Lemehieu 3B Cabrera 2B (S) Wells C (L) Volpe SS

Why is the volume always soo low on this channel?

The problem is the Yankees didn’t adapt to the times. They operate and run the team like it’s still the 90’s

I want to see more video like this one ?

That’s exactly my point

Pete is so right about the fanbase!

Kay likes Hal? I "like" my boss too.

No way bellinger gets 35m a year lmao, maybe if he never had that 2 year decline

We will see .

I am sorry I doubt Hal Steinbrenner is watching every Yankees game. I see his sister at the ballpark more than Hal. I know the Yankees brass cannot get every good free agent. But try to make the team better to make them contenders again. Because bringing back Frankie Montas and just getting Kevin kermeirer just does not cut it! The players need to get back to that winning clubhouse atmosphere and mindset like the Jeter teams. Need talented players though too who want to win.

It doesnt take a special analytics guy to realize that we need more quality lefty bats for Yankee Stadium! Im so tired of the excuses and empty talk! We've passed on Harper, Seager, missed out on Olsen 2 years ago, a quality lefty bat/LF last offseason, etc. I wish they would just release Stanton already. Im so tired of seeing them roll him out there (and i mean they literally have to ROLL him out because he cant run!) What value do they think they still can get out of him? Hes HURTING (pun intended) this team!! Cut your freaking losses Hal, and sign Ohtani AND Yamamoto and you will easily make up that revenue and more from the Japanese market! Im tired of hearing how much they already spent. Stop rewarding your buddy Cashman with the GM job year after year and hold him accountable for putting you in this mess! Any other major corporation wouldve fired him for some of these dumb moves hes made more often than not and with 1 championship during his time that he arguably can take credit for. Stop prospect hoarding already (especially when most of ours dont seem to work out) and trade for Soto and immediately extend him. If not, then sign Bellinger!! Hal passed on "smart" investments like Harper or Seager ok..now he has a golden opportunity yet again to acquire two or three generational talents who are LEFTIES this offseasonn! If its too much for Hal to cut his losses and spend more money wisely to improve this team, then freaking sell it to someone who is willing to! Im sure there are HUNDREDS of Steve Cohen-like people out there who would want to buy this team and are willing to spend whatever it takes to save this franchise which has become a JOKE. To quote "Field of Dreams," If they build it, meaning spend what it takes (in a SMART WAY, not by taking on dumb Donaldson-like contracts or Rodon who had two surgeries) then we the fans (including that HUGE Japanese market) will come!!

Maybe they should try teaching them to hit the freaking ball. Lets start there.

Teams win or lose based on hitting and pitching. Not the manager.

The "They don't spend money" narrative has to be corrected to "They don't spend wisely".

Michael, you once stated that Hal is a bright guy. Would you like to retract that statement?

When you tell everyone that there will be big changes, yet do nothing of substance, they will kill attendance.

I actually like Hal I just wish he would spend even more money like the Dodgers.

My brother is a major attorney and an even more major Yankee Fan(with an original base and statues in his office). He did not go to Yankee games in NY or LA(unheard of) and almost mostly did not listen or watch. Yamamoto would be great. But Keimiar is no hitter. They absolutely need LH bats. Stanton one might say could get his swing back. But the man can’t run- welldone-could be. I, personally think it’s silly without LH bats. Brian Cashman should be embarrassed by his outburst. My instincts tell me, that “he” has been relying on analytics or others way to much.

If you are a Yankee fan like me, hopefully, you are outraged by the comments of Hal Steinbrenner. This is an owner that does not care about winning. The only thing that he was able to talk about is bunting, and not talking about what changes will be made to make the Yankees win the World Series in 2024. He also has decided to keep Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman, who in my opinion, both should have been fired. 2024 will be a repeat of 2023 if Hal Steinbrenner continues to keep doing the same things. We will go another year without winning a title.

Man I wish George was still here

Bellinger was so putrid the dodgers let him go. Stay away.a

If George was still alive and heard Hal say this team is good I’m thinking he gets taken to the wood shed😂 Hopefully GM and manager will keep their jobs. This is from a Os fan😂😂😂😂

HE DOESN’T CARE! If he did Cashman would be fired

watching this just pissed me off

Analytics????????? A typical lineup for this team, this year, contained as many as 4-5 players with batting averages of .220 or less. You don't hit, you don't win.

The Yankees really are stuck in the 90s.

Yankees fans are spoiled. Most other fan bases would be thrilled with the Yankees' consistent winning.

George Steinbrenner never would let this go on keeping Aaron Boone lose in season after season never would’ve this happened

So analytics aside has anyone who is suppose to analyze check out the teams in the playoffs & World Series things like the energy, old baseball techniques, drive to succeed in hitting situations?

But did they consult with Swisher about bunting more?

Nothing is changing in 2024

Hal cares about quarterly statements...PERIOD!!!

I couldnt care less what the fans think, as if their opinions are in any way to be considered "informed" compared to the people actually making the decisions. Hal knows the fans will show up if the team wins, he doesnt care about feeding their insatiable appetite for scapegoats

I think running on contact from third with the infield in is stupid it almost never works

I am not spending one red cent on the yankees.

If the plan is to bunt then fire Boone and bring in my little league coach

If anything its gotta be soto, yamamoto, kiermier and then fill in the spots from there.

0:42 0:55 0:58

Swish a licious !! PLEASE
