1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 1: Him to two cats All. What's up, everybody? Yankees going 2 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: for the series win against the Red Sox tonight. I 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: gotta say I feel pretty good about tonight's game. There 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: have been times where I didn't feel great, and there 5 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: have been times when I felt great and the Yankees 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: have let me down. But tonight, I really think the 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: Yankees have a great chance to win this series. The 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: Red Sox have handled the Yankees pitching in each of 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: the first two games to a degree now that they've 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: split the two games, but I think that's gonna stop tonight. 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: I think Carlos Rodin, who has been throwing the ball 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: so well, and we'll talk about him more in depth 13 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: in a minute, is gonna be up for Sunday Night Baseball. 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: And Hunter Dobbins. He's a rookie. He's pitching for the 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Right handed pitcher out of Texas Tech, pretty 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: good slider, throws a split fingered fastball, mid nineties fastball. 17 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that he throws the splitter. You 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: don't see a lot of American pitchers who I'm up 19 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: throwing the splitter a lot of times. It's like the 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: foreign guys. It's the Japanese guys especially, that's a pitch 21 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: they throw over there. More In America, the youth a 22 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: lot of times is taught don't throw that pitch because 23 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: it's bad for your elbow. But you know, studies have 24 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: shown that actually the worst pitch for your elbow is 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: the fastball. So who knows, but you will see college 26 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: programs that institute you know, split finger fastballs, you know, 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: from time to time. But you know, he's a guy 28 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: who you know, has had some success early on. But 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how Sunday Night Baseball in 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium, Red Sox Yankees, how he responds to that challenge, right, 31 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: I mean, this is going to be a tough, tough ask, 32 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: a heavy lift for a rookie. And I think Carlos 33 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: Rodon it's like, you know, he's been there, done that, 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: He pitched in the World Series, YadA, YadA, YadA. Tonight, 35 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: he's just gonna try and continue that momentum that he's 36 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: had over the last you know, a couple of months now. 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: But let's take a look at the lineup for tonight, 38 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: and I see what they went with the beardless Rodin 39 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,919 Speaker 1: in the picture. I guess these pictures taken before the season. 40 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: But Ben Rice in the leadoff spot at DH, a 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: guy who has been hitting into some hard luck but 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: also hitting for a lot of power, putting up big numbers. 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge in the number two spot in right field. 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: I have a great feeling about Judge tonight because he 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: had such a bad day yesterday. It's rare that you 46 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: see him have two really bad days in a row, 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: so he's gonna be spoiler alert part of my nostra 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Derek prediction today. Cody Bellinger in left field. Dominge is 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: getting the day off against the righty, which is odd 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: because he played against the lefty. He hits righty's much 51 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: better than he hits lefties. And we got a number 52 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: of calls today about Aaron Boone and just to some 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: of his perplexing lineup decisions, and this is one of them. 54 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: You know, the choice to play Demingez yesterday versus today. 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: You know, I would have rather seen Trent Grisham yesterday, 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: even though it was lefty on lefty. You know, Austin 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: Wells hit him well and Austin Wells swung about well yesterday, 58 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: but he is out today. Jc Ascar is catching Rodin, 59 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: but I'll continue the lineup real quick. We've got gold 60 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Schmidt batting fourth, first base. Torpedo bat guy you know, 61 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: had some good success with it. We'll talk more about 62 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the torpedo bat when we get to Stanton later on. 63 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm at third base. He thinks that there should 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: be more smack talk in baseball, and I gotta say 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I agree. I agree. Anthony Volpy back in there at 66 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: shortstop tonight, coming back from that hit by pitch on 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: his elbow a couple of nights ago, obviously feeling better. 68 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham in centerfield. He has slowed down. He's moving 69 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: more towards his career numbers in terms of batting average. 70 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: Still a threat with power, but he seems to have 71 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: cooled off significantly. Still a very good outfielder. DJ Lemayhew 72 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: at second base tonight. He had a big hit last 73 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: night to get the game close before the Red Sox 74 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: kind of opened up the lead again in the top 75 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: of the ninth. And then Carlos all right, sorry J 76 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: c Ascara catching Carlos Rodin. You know, those two seem 77 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: to work really well together, so you know, hopefully good 78 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: things continue for those two. But I want to talk 79 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,839 Speaker 1: a little bit about Carlos Rodin because he has been 80 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: on a heater like you just don't see very often. 81 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: Last nine starts, seven to zero, fifty six and two 82 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: thirds innings, one point two seven ERA, and seventy strikeouts 83 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: on the season. Now he is eight and three with 84 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 1: a two point four to nine ERA, ninety eight strikeouts 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: and a whip under one at zero point nine to three. 86 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: That's less than a base runner per inning and seventy 87 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: nine and two thirds innings pitched. You see, the strikeouts 88 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: way more than a strikeout per inning. So you know, 89 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: we've seen a lot of people credit his success to 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: his beard. And while I think that, you know, I 91 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: having confidence in oneself does go a long way, I 92 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: think it has a lot more to do with the 93 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: confidence he has in diversify his pitch repertoire. You know, 94 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: I think Matt Blake probably deserves a little bit of 95 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: credit and the pitching lab folks for helping to develop 96 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: this version of Carlos Rodan. I just watched his interview 97 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: with Sherman and Hayman, and you know, obviously Rodan's attitude 98 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: is great. He's, you know, a guy who wants to 99 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: constantly improve, but they seem to have just straight up 100 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: rebuilt him as a pitcher, and not necessarily out of 101 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: you know, a need to do it like you do 102 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: have sometimes, right, I mean when somebody loses their stuff. 103 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's think back to Cec Sabathia, Right, there were 104 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: a couple of years there where Ceci was just terrible, 105 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: but he reinvented himself. Mike Messina was a guy who 106 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: had some bad years and then finished strong because he 107 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: reinvented the way he went about pitching. You know, he 108 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: was always a pitcher, but once that fastball drops down 109 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: to a point where it can get hit, you have 110 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: to kind of pitch backwards. Some Rodan hasn't lost his fastball. 111 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: He's still throwing ninety five to ninety seven miles an hour. 112 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: But he's made the same adjustments as those guys have. 113 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 2: Right. 114 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: I looked at what he's done the last couple of years, 115 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: and it was it was almost all fastball slider, right. 116 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 1: And the pitch mix right now is just so much 117 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: more deadly, right because he's throwing the sinker, he's throwing 118 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: the change up. Last year it was just fastball upstairs. 119 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 1: Fastball upstairs, get a couple of foul balls, try and 120 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: get somebody with a slider. That would lead to a 121 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: lot of duels. Where it was along at bat where 122 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: somebody's geared up for the fastball, maybe they're laying off 123 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: the slider. And now he's getting deeper into games because 124 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: he can be more efficient because he's throwing the breaking 125 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: ball or the sinker or the change up early in 126 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: the count. He's getting the strike, he's getting ahead, and 127 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: that allows you to do more things, right, You have 128 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: more ways to get a hitter out. The hitter still 129 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: has to be ready for that ninety seven, ninety eight, 130 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: even ninety nine mile an hour fastball from time to time, 131 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: but you also have shown him a curveball, a sinker, 132 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: a change He's got to be ready for all these things. 133 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: He does not have a lot of time because he's 134 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: got a gear up for that fastball, and that makes 135 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: his slider more effective. Right, because you're geared up for 136 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: that fastball, you got on your mind like, Okay, I've 137 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: seen the change up, I've seen the curveball. I haven't 138 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: seen that ninety nine yet. I haven't seen that ninety eight. 139 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Let me gear up for it and then all of 140 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: a sudden, boom, slider done, go back to the dugout. 141 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: And you know, he continues to want to get better. 142 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: He's made the physical changes in himself. He's adopted this 143 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: new style and it's revised my opinion on him one 144 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty degrees. You remember when he was first 145 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: up with the Yankees and he was getting shelled. We 146 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: kept saying, this guy needs a change up. He just 147 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: flat out and needs a change up. He needs a 148 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: third pitch. I remember so many people in the chat 149 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: saying the same thing, people calling in saying he needs 150 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: another pitch. And you know what he's got now two 151 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: other pitches that he's throwing with frequency. So yeah, I 152 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: am hyped to watch Carlos Rodin pretty much every time 153 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: he pitches now, and I feel like he's going to 154 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: have a good night tonight. I feel like he's emotionally 155 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: at the point where he's not gonna be overwhelmed by 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: the big moment anymore and we can count on him. 157 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, big things tonight from Carlos Rodan. Now watch 158 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: him get shelled and make me look like a fool, 159 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: all right, So John, Carlos Stanton I've been thinking about 160 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: him a lot for the last couple of days because 161 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: he is coming back, and generally the Yankees lineup does 162 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: perform better when he's in it, whether or not he's hitting. Now, 163 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: he's a two twenty two to thirty hitter at this 164 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: point in his career at best, but he does have 165 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: crazy power. Last year he hit two thirty three twenty 166 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: seven home runs, seventy two RBIs, and that's with his 167 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: customary time off with injuries seven to seventy three ops. 168 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: But then he went crazy in the playoffs seven home 169 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: runs in the postseason ALCS MVP. And because the Yankees 170 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: tend to win more when he's in the lineup, you 171 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: know that he's gonna be in the lineup pretty much 172 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: every day, right. He might get a day or two 173 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: off per week just to maintain his health because he 174 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: does have bad legs. I like to say, but Lieutenant Daan, 175 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: you ain't got no legs. I think of that every 176 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: time I watch him run. But you know, he's also 177 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: got the l stuff that he's coming back from double 178 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: tennis elbow. He's got a chronic calf condition, so they're 179 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: not gonna play him every single game. They're gonna play 180 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: him four to five times a week, and they're gonna 181 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: pick their spots. He's gonna play against all the lefties. 182 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: He's gonna pinch hit against lefties, even though he's not 183 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: a good pinch hitter for his career. But one thing 184 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: that's very interesting is that he's gonna be using the 185 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: torpedo bat. 186 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 2: Now. 187 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: Somebody asked the other day if he was using the 188 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: torpedo bat in the playoffs. So I went back and 189 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: I looked at some pictures, and I didn't see one. 190 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: It looked like the normal bat to me. Now, Volpi's 191 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: having a decent year with a torpedo bat, not great, 192 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: but better than last year. Austin Wells has been hitting 193 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: better lately, but overall he has not had an amazing year. 194 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: He does have ten home runs, ten doubles, gold Schmidt 195 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: having a great year using the torpedo bat. So I'm 196 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: just very interested to see what somebody with John Carlos 197 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: Stanton's level of experience does, what kind of difference it makes, right, 198 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: But he should give Aaron Boone another option, another dangerous 199 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: option for the middle of the lineup against lefties. And 200 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: yesterday I said the Yankees have struggled against lefties, and 201 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: that might not be entirely true. Someone commented, well, they're 202 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: top ten. You don't know what you're talking about. And 203 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: to me, top ten is still struggling. That is not 204 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: where the Yankees want to be, right, I mean, did 205 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: Frank Sinatra say he wanted to be top ten of 206 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: the heap? Did he say he wanted to be in 207 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: the top third? Top ten is top third of the league, right, 208 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: top third of the list in Old New York? Or 209 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: come on, that's not good enough. We want to be 210 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: top two or three at the worst, if not number 211 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: one in everything. That's what Yankees fans expect. 212 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 3: Now. 213 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: I know it's not realistic to be number one and everything, 214 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: but you can be top five and everything, and that's 215 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: where we expect. So I do think we need improvement 216 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: against left handed pitchers. And John Carlos Stanton is that guy. 217 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: So I'm worried it's gonna take. Came his customary month 218 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: to begin hitting. But he is exceptionally clutch. We all 219 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: know that he carried us in the Alcs. He carried 220 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: us to the Alcs and the Alds, and he's one 221 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: of the guys who did damage in the World Series. 222 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: I healthy John Carlos Stanton should be a net positive 223 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: for the Yankees in terms of how dangerous their lineup is. 224 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: That being said, his war is not as high as 225 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: ben Rice. Ben Rice has put up more war this 226 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: year than John Carlos Stanton did all of last year 227 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: or the year before that or the year before that. 228 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: But you know, he definitely is an imposing force. Pitchers 229 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 1: are scared of him. That being said, I want to 230 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: ask something of the audience, and feel free to call 231 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: in about this and we'll maybe play him on the 232 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: postgame show. I wanted to ask the audience this, If 233 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: you could go back in time, right, Doc Brown shows 234 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: up at your doorstep with the DeLorean and he says, great, Scott, 235 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: We're going back to the twenty eighteen Winter meetings and 236 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna put you in a spot where you bump 237 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: into Brian Cashman, who's on his way in. The deal 238 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: is not maybe complete, but they're talking about getting John 239 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton, and you know what, you got a chance 240 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: to make your case to Cashman, you know, knowing everything 241 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: he's done for us in the postseason, but also knowing 242 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: the injury history has been bad enough to keep him 243 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: out of the lineup as much as he's been out 244 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: of the lineup. So you bump into Cashman as he's 245 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: headed into the Winter meetings and you say, Brian, I'm 246 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: from the future, right, here's everything you need to know 247 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: about John Carlos Stanton, and Brian He's like, oh, jeez ah, man, 248 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: I this is heavy man. And then he says, well, look, 249 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: I gotta go make a final recommendation to hal steinvennor 250 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: you make the call. Should we get John Carlos Stanton 251 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: or not? Do you make the deal or not? I 252 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: think I would recommend no. I think I would say, 253 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: wait a year and sign Bryce Harper. Be a better deal. 254 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 1: The lineup will be more balanced for a few years, 255 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: and Harper stays on the field and Harper can eventually 256 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: if you want, slide to first base and he would 257 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: fit right in. But I think I would advise not 258 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: to make the deal. So anyway, that's where we're at 259 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 1: right now. Stanton coming back. Let's talk about the predictions 260 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: for the game, all right, So my pick for tonight, 261 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 1: I got two picks in the game, and leave your 262 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: predictions in the chat. I've got two home runs from 263 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge tonight. I think last night was kind of 264 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: a really bad off day for him, kind of embarrassing 265 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: for him. And I think he's gonna come back strong today. 266 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: Two home runs. I think he had two home runs 267 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: on last Saturday against the Dodgers, and I think he's 268 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna do something similar tonight. And then Jazz Chisholm, I 269 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: think he's gonna hit a double tonight. Last night he 270 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: was not in the starting lineup. He ended up coming 271 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: in later in the game. I didn't do much, but 272 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about the way he's been swinging 273 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,359 Speaker 1: the bat and his new approach. So drop your predictions 274 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: in the chat. Let's go ahead and get to some 275 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: final comments here. No sponsor today. This is an unplanned 276 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: pregame show, so I didn't sell a sponsor for it, 277 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: so you guys don't have to watch an ad. But 278 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: we did get some voicemails, so I'm godn't play some voicemails. 279 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: Let's start with this guy. We haven't heard from him 280 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: in a while. 281 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: Hi, Derek Simon Rosen, Conecticut. I don't understand what's wrong 282 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: with Boone, I mean, Ryan Yar, but we give him 283 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: the lead. He gives it right back to the Red Sox. 284 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: And why can't these players learn to play for the pain? 285 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'm telling you both be And why isn't 286 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: he putting other people at third base? Put Jazz Chisholm 287 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: Beckett through where he belongs, all right? Last year they 288 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: are ramping and rating about him, Derek, Oh he's such 289 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: a great hit. Look great third base? Put the guy 290 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: back at third. I mean, how many days off of 291 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: these players need They get November up, they get December off, 292 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: they get gen that's none of enough. Play for the 293 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: pain and let's win this world series. This is what 294 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: I like to have played in the machine. Thanks Derek, 295 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: have a good day, appreciate it. 296 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: And Simon Simon your fun. I don't think Simon's ever 297 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: called in and not let off with oh what's Boone doing? 298 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: He's not a fan of Boone? And look, I didn't 299 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: like Boone's lineup yesterday. We got a call also from 300 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: Hugh from bay Bridge, who echoed that sentiment. 301 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: Good morning, Derek, this is Hugh from bay Ridge in Brooklyn, 302 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: and I thought that was the most atrocious lineup it 303 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: was Boone is ever presented during his manager real years. 304 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 3: I mean the third base. This guy raised. He can't hit, 305 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: he can't feel. I don't think I've seen it. I 306 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: think I've seen him feel one ground ball cleanly. I 307 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: mean it's ridiculous. And I also, I gotta says nothing 308 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: more than a mediocrity as a manager. 309 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I appreciate the call. I appreciate the call. 310 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: It goes on. He is a he is not a 311 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: fan of Aaron Boone as a manager. All Right, we 312 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: got some predictions starting to come in. So Rick Diaz says, 313 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: rodn seven innings to earned runs. We'll sign up for 314 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: that right now. Lori C says, DJ can pick up 315 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: three knocks tonight. I'll sign up for that as well. 316 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: He has been swinging the bat a little bit better 317 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: than last year. You gotta credit him that. I don't 318 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: think the power is there like it was backing down 319 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty twenty twenty one. But he can still 320 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 1: put the bat on the ball and if he's elevating 321 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: it over the infield picking up some of those duck 322 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: snorts type of hits. Uh, you'll take that. You'll take 323 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: base hits, You'll take contact. Philly Philly in NYC says 324 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: six to two Yanks win, that would give them a 325 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: series win Info Info. It's like Nikki two times.
