Aaron, rough afternoon for Nestor.
What were you seeing from your vantage point?
Yeah, thought the profile, the stuff was there, just probably
not his best stuff and just had a hard time
finishing some guys.
You know, usually, especially lately, even even when you know
he he's at a game where, you know, it hasn't
been perfect.
He still had that kind of swinging missed top his
own or could get in on guys just having a
hard time putting guys away and you know, they made
him pay a little bit couple of walks untimely at
the bottom at that kind of hurt them.
But just, you know, overall just a little bit of
a grind today.
You mentioned the walks and then the home run in
that 4th inning to to Alex Jackson.
Did you feel like that one really took took the
wind out a little bit?
Yeah.
You know, I I think the time before when he
walked him, I think he had 1-2 on him and,
you know, threw a close pitch and then, you know,
wasn't able to to finish it off there.
And that's that led to that first run and then
kind of 11 borderline pitch doesn't get it.
And, and, you know, Jackson got count leverage and looks
like he just left one on the plate and, you
know, he's strong, strong enough to to get it out
the other way.
So, yeah, just just that next level of execution, you
know, especially on a day when you don't necessarily have
your best stuff.
Esther, 100 games that you guys have lost 19 out
of 30 after really great first 70 games.
The trade deadlines coming up.
These are the Yankees.
You do you wonder if catchment might really shake it
up and and do you think you guys need some
change after a month of really.
Yeah, I'm sure, I'm sure the front office is going
to do something to make this team better.
Like I said, we've been on, we've been struggling.
What were the numbers again?
19 And yeah, I mean, we're one game maybe two
days back after today.
You know, everybody's saying how how about we've been playing.
But you can look across the league and see, you
know, we're right there with them.
I think we're 59 wins, which is tied for the
most wins in the American League.
It seems just, you know, just just just to take
away of being great.
And I have no doubt in my mind that, you
know, we're going to be better and the front office
is going to make you seem better.
Aaron Boone told you to get ready that you were
going in the game.
Can you just describe what you were feeling?
Oh, my God, I was, I don't know, too much
feelings.
At the same time, you know, it's been it's been
a long time.
So when he when he finally told me, I was
like, OK, maybe is this is this a time, you
know, so I just went down to be ready, you
know, you know, that happened.
What, what was the adrenaline like?
What was the heartbreak?
Like?
I can't describe that.
I'm I'm still got a gospel, you know, like, of
course my, my dream was, you know, debut here, but
winning, you know, but that happened.
But I was super proud for this opportunity.
Like I said, it's been a long journey.
Finally, it's like proud to be around these guys, you
know, in this, in this amazing, in this amazing clubhouse.
So I say I can't describe this name.
What are you doing with the ball?
Who gets the ball?
I just, I just, I just got it right now,
you know, who are you going to give it to?
Are you going to keep it?
And maybe, I don't know, give it to my dad
first.
You know, my dad, He's yeah, he's got to be
crying right now.
Oh, my dad, you know, he's he's my hero.
He was with me since I was young.
He was my first coach when he was like 3
years old.
He's been with me forever.
You know, I still like too much feelings right now
disappear.
I'm basing.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
