Today's Call of the Day featured a fiery fan named Nick who passionately blamed the Yankees' struggles on the team's reliance on analytics and "Harvard graduate pencil necks" in the front office. He argued that the current Yankees regime lacks a winning spirit—unlike the late George Steinbrenner, who "hated losing more than he loved winning"—and highlighted the lack of a reliable bullpen and questionable lineup choices as evidence of organizational rot. Sal and BT largely agreed with the call's frustration over the analytics-driven culture, but Sal differentiated between in-game managerial decisions and pre-game data, ultimately landing on his philosophy that a starting pitcher should be "knocked out, not taken out."
