1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: M to cook.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 2: It's all.

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Who's ready for another late

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: night of baseball? You know, I typically hate West Coast games,

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to get myself into the mindset that

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: it's a it's just kind of like a vacation from

7
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: my routine. Right. I typically like to get into bed

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: by ten thirty, eleven o'clock at the latest. At the latest.

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm one of these early to bed, early to rise

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of guys. And you know, I'm trying to treat

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: these late night games as a chance to like, you know,

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: take a vacation from myself, right, you know, enjoy some music.

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: The house is pretty much quiet, you know, I can

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: you know, catch a movie before the game starts, that

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: type of thing. I just kind of have a little

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: bit of a change in my routine. But the Yankees

17
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: will try and make it seven series wins in a row. Tonight,

18
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: I'll ride. Hopefully some of you will stay up and

19
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: watch it with me, although if you tune in tomorrow

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: that's fine too. I'm gonna say something right now that

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: makes me sound very old, very much like, you know,

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: get off my lawn kind of comment. These kids today

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: don't know how good they have it with sports and

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the access to highlights and stats. When I was in

25
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: about middle school, I used to read the box scores

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: every single morning in the paper. We would get into

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: school about maybe an hour before the day began. Buses

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: were still arriving, and you know, we didn't have like

29
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: a home room at that point in the day. Basically

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: you hung around the lobby. You would play paper football,

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, the little game with the triangle football. You'd

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: play that, and we had access to the library. I

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: was always somebody who would sit in the library and

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I would read the paper. Right my dad and I

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: would you know, go into school and he was stopping.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: We would get eggs sandwiches, and I would get the

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: paper and I would read box score. But I hated

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: it when the Yankees were on the West Coast because

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't get the stats in the box score from

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: the night before. Right now. I mean, you just you

41
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: pull out your phone, you go to you know, MLB

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: dot com or whatever. But back in the day, when

43
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: I was eleven or twelve years old, if I didn't

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: catch the early Sports Center highlights or whatever, or if

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I fell asleep before the game, was over. You know,

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: there was no way for me to get the stats

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: until after school was over. I hated that. So these

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 1: kids today are lucky. The future is better. Don't let

49
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: anyone tell you otherwise. So the lineup just came out.

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: We're facing Tyler Alexander, who is a left handed pitcher.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 1: So no Dominguez in the lineup tonight, which is kind

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: of expected. I'm gonna share my screen with you real quick,

53
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: and we're going to take a look at it together.

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt back out there in the leadoff spot at

55
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: first base, Trent Grisham in center field, been slowing down

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: as of late. Aaron Judge in right field. I think

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: he's due for a multi home run game. I'm not

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: gonna predict a multi home run game tonight. I think

59
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: he's due for two. It's been a while since he's

60
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: hit two. Cody Bellinger in left field tonight. Anthony Volpi

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: the big three run double last night at shortstop, and

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a voicemail on him in just a minute.

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: We got Ben Rice at dh tonight. DJ Lemayhew back

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: in there at second base, Austin Wells behind the dish,

65
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: and Oswald Perrazza at third base. He can really pick

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: it man, but it's about time for him to start

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: hitting for sure. Let's go ahead and start with a

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: voicemail tonight before we talk about Carlos Rodin, talk about Volpi.

69
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 3: All right, hang on, here we go, Derek. My message

70
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: is simple enough. With the Volpi hate from Yankee SAMs,

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: I don't get it. He's a likable guy, a homegrown guy,

72
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: and people act like spending one to nineties with a

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: five eighty ops he has, he's banning about two fifty.

74
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 3: He has thirty more RPIs, which is third place in

75
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: the team, just one behind Bellinger for second place. He

76
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: plays incredible defense. He has a nearly eight hundred ops.

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: I don't understand why people don't say or say that

78
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: he doesn't come and coming through in the clunch because

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: he obviously does. Just gise it. We're still the RBIs

80
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 3: before the end of May. It's ridiculous.

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's having a good year. And something I'm gonna

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: do tonight on the show in the postgame show is

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a look at who's on pace for

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: what We're gonna take a look at some guys that

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 1: are on pace for you know, x amount of RBIs,

86
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: X amount of home runs, x amount of stolen bases.

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: We're about a third of the way through the season roughly,

88
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: so I think it's a good time to kind of

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: do that, you know, check in and see what kind

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: of year guys are putting together. But you look at

91
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Vhopy's numbers, I mean, his stackass numbers are great. His

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: his regular numbers are you know, coming into form here.

93
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Obviously you'd like for him to hit better than two

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: forty four. You know, if he he hit two seventy,

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: that would make us all feel a lot better. And

96
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: he still has some at bats where he looks completely overmatched.

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I think part of it is part of the reason

98
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: he gets some hate and heat might be too strong

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: a word, but he gets a lot of criticism. Is

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: he didn't really take a huge step forward from year

101
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: one to year two. Yeah, he improved his batting average,

102
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: but his on base percentage was still under three hundred.

103
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: His OPX actually went down from a very satanic six

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,559
Speaker 1: sixty six and twenty twenty three down to six fifty seven.

105
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Last year. He had less home runs, so he had

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,799
Speaker 1: nine less home runs. He only had four more stolen

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: bases this year, the average, the on base percentage, the

108
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: slugging percentage, the ops, everything is up. And if he's

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: able to maintain this, you know he's gonna have a

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: four and a half to five win season when you

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: take into account his defense. So yeah, I think he

112
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: gets criticized a little bit harshly. And you know, I

113
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: think fans a lot of times, you know, hold things

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: against young players that maybe they shouldn't, right. I mean,

115
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: he's had a larding curve, he had a little bit

116
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: of an adjustment period coming from the minor leagues. But

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: I think he's coming into his own as a player,

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: I really do. Another guy who's coming into his own

119
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: is Carlos Rodan. Carlos Rodin's turnaround is not one you

120
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: often see with the Yankees period. A lot of times

121
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: when a player comes to the Yankees and they struggle

122
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: right away, its spirals. It just collapses. The pressure, the spotlight,

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: the noise from people like me and other podcasters and

124
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: radio hosts. It eats guys alive. Joey Gallo, Aaron Hicks,

125
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Sonny Gray, Kenny Rodgers, Kiyagawa, I mean, Kyegawa just sucked.

126
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: But you know, a lot of guys. They get to

127
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: the Yankee. Edwinson's another one. They get to the Yankees

128
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: and the spotlight is just too much, the criticism is

129
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: just too much. They struggle and it tears them down.

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: But we as fans need to understand that wanting results

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: now doesn't always guarantee them right. Some guys have an

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: adjustment period. It takes a little while to get comfortable.

133
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: And Rodn, you know he's one of these guys. You know,

134
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: he got off to a brutal start. I'm grab a

135
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: sip of my coffee real quick. He got off to

136
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: a brutal start. By the way, these night games, these

137
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: late night games, are a great chance to do something

138
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna do anyway, but have an actual excuse,

139
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: which is to drink my coffee at night. A lot

140
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: of people don't like to drink coffee at night. I do,

141
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: but this gives me a legitimate excuse. Anyway, we fans,

142
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: we can be severe in our judgment. We want the

143
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: results now, not tomorrow, not when you get comfortable now.

144
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: And Rodn, he just got off to a brutal start

145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: with the Yankees. Physically, he didn't look like the guy

146
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: we thought. We signed, he had put on some weight.

147
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: He just looked weird without a beard. Mentally, he looked

148
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: completely out of sync. The injury to the back, the attitude,

149
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: the whole blow kiss at the fans moment, which by

150
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the way, was in Anaheim. I'll admit it. I'll admit it.

151
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I judged him. I judged him. You probably did too,

152
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: We all did, most of us did. I'd say, but man,

153
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: you have got to give credit where credit is due.

154
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: Because Carlos Rodin has turned it all around. He has

155
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: reshaped his body. He has gone from being kind of

156
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: like a thick husky guy to being a jacked, focused athlete.

157
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: His metrics have gone back to where they were before

158
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: he got to the Yankees. They have become elite elite,

159
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: and he didn't just get his velocity back, he got

160
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: his identity back. He's always had intensity, but he's dialed

161
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: it in over the past couple of years. The metrics

162
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: look terrific. Pitching run value, fastball run value, breaking ball

163
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: run value, all elite, off speed run value in the

164
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: top twenty five percent of the league. He's missing bats,

165
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: getting a ton of strikeouts, keeping the whip. Look at

166
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: the whip. It's steadily dropped since coming to the Yankees,

167
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: from one point four to five in his first year

168
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, down to one point twenty to

169
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: two last year, and down to zero point nine to

170
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: six so far this year. He's on pace to win

171
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: about eighteen or nineteen games, depending on what happens tonight.

172
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: He's evolving. He is no longer just trying to get

173
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: through the game. He is back to dominating. Gone are

174
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: the days when it was just high fastball, high fastball,

175
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: high fastball, with the occasional slider. Now he's using the sinker.

176
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: He's getting ground balls, he's using the change up to

177
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: disrupt timing. He is learning how to pitch. Some of

178
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: that credit has to go to Matt Blake, and probably

179
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: some to the other Yankees veterans, guys like Garrett Cole,

180
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: guys who've been around the team, like Andy Pettitt, who

181
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: worked with Carlos Rodin. He's pitching. He's not throwing anymore.

182
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: When he got here, he was a thrower. Even for

183
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of last year, he relied on stuff and

184
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: he was throwing. Now he's pitching, And look at his

185
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: last seven starts, five to zero record, one point four

186
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: to eight ERA fifty two strikeouts. And let's not pretend

187
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: this year began smoothly either. The three run home run

188
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: was definitely a concern Earlier this year, you know, we

189
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: we were playing the meatball song times and you know

190
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: what he did. Something has clicked. He has been flat

191
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: out dealing. And you know last year he had sixteen wins.

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: This year he could beat that if he keeps it

193
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: up and keeps getting run support. I used to dread.

194
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: I used to dread the days when Carlos Rodin was

195
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: scheduled to pitch. I would dread them. I felt like

196
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: we were going to be in a five nothing hole

197
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: by the third inning. But now I look forward to

198
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: Rodande because he gives us a real shot to win

199
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 1: every time out. He pitches with the right attitude, not

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: a bad attitude. He's out there with a winning attitude.

201
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: He has transformed, not only physically but mentally, from someone

202
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: weak to someone strong, and that is not just rare

203
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: for the Yankees, that is rare period. He has earned

204
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: his redemption from us, he has earned his pin stripes.

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: I will admit that I was wrong about him, and

206
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch him pitch tonight. All right,

207
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: So the Yankees better hope they get a good outing

208
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: out of him because the bullpen is completely gassed right now.

209
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: And we knew when Fernando Cruz went on the IL

210
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: that it was going to thin out that bullpen a

211
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: little bit. You got Weaver now, he's been struggling the

212
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: last couple of days. We did get a call about

213
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: him as well. Let me play that.

214
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: Hey, what's up. I hope I don't have to eat

215
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: my words, but I do like that even though Weaver

216
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 4: are struggling a bit, that he's throwing his cutter. I

217
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: don't think he's thrown that pitch in a month anyway.

218
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 4: Hopefully we got a win.

219
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean last night was a little bit of

220
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: a tight wire act, more than we're used to. He

221
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: had one against Colorado, but again lights out, closer and

222
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: zero point seven to three ERA. We shouldn't jump on

223
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: this guy every time he has a tough outing. He's

224
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: been phenomenal, and guys just don't pitch to zero point

225
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: seven Eras for the whole season, He's gonna have ups

226
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: and downs, right, especially when he doesn't allow a lot

227
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: of ground balls. His ground ball percentage is low, his

228
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: strikeout percentage is very high. His chase percentage is great,

229
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: and he does it with not an overwhelming fastball. It's

230
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: ninety four point three miles an hour on average, which

231
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: is below the average for a right handed pitcher, which

232
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: is ninety four point six. But he mixes it with

233
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: fantastic command of the baseball and the change up, and

234
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, the cutter, which he's throwing eight percent

235
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: of the time at ninety point eight. And it's not

236
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: a huge difference between his fastball and the cutter, but

237
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: that's okay. You want those pitches to kind of look similar.

238
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: The change up it's about a seven mile an hour

239
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: slightly slightly more than seven mile an hour difference. And

240
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: the slider, he doesn't throw it a lot. I think

241
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: he should throw it more four percent of the time

242
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: eighty six point eight miles an hour. Mix one in

243
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more often, you know, when you're struggling,

244
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: give guys a fresh look. Just don't hang them because

245
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: those those getting banged. But I mean, dream Weaver has

246
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: been fantastic. But I am concerned about the bullpen tonight.

247
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: I think we're a little bit light in the pen tonight.

248
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's get your predictions in wishes all right,

249
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: my predictions tonight. Paul goldschmid back in the lineup. I

250
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have two hits tonight. He is hitting

251
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: over five hundred versus lefties. He's hitting five forty eight

252
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: versus lefties right now, which is insane, insane and can

253
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: combined with what Aaron Judge is doing against lefties. I mean,

254
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it's very tough for these lefties right now. And when

255
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: you consider that John Carlos Stanton is coming back soon,

256
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: that's to make it even tougher because he matches lefties too.

257
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: So we're gonna turn a weakness, which is hitting against lefties,

258
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 1: into a strength. And partially due to Paul Goldsman, I

259
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: also thank eight strikeouts for Carlos Rodin tonight. Gregory Wayne

260
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: says Rodin for eight innings, William for one would be

261
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: ideal tonight. I'll take that. I'll sign up for that

262
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: right now. Dominic predicts a belly bomb. I'll sign up

263
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: for that too. He is a stud out there. He's

264
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: been playing much better. He's got the average up over

265
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: I believe what six, uh wait, two sixty eight right now?

266
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: So hey, we love what we're getting from him. All right,

267

00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: Jen C.

290
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Hopps says two plus RBIs for Bellinger tonight. I'll sign

291
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: up for that as well. Manuel Roebliss says, Rice and

292
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: Judge hitting bombs. Rice hasn't gone deep in a while.

293
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: It feels like when was his last home run? Was

294
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: it in Sacramento? I feel like it's been a while

295
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: since he's gone deep. Maybe he's slowed down, you know,

296
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: I feel like him and Trent Grisham some of the

297
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: magic has worn off a little bit. You know, it's

298
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: probably just a slump. These guys are human and they're

299
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: bound to have ups and downs, but you know, when

300
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: they're swinging, we're winning, and the Yanks have won fourteen

301
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: out of their last eighteen games. Donnie Clark says that

302
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: Rodin goes seven innings tonight. We will take that as well,

303
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: all right. A couple more voicemails Tom in NC.

304
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 6: Hey, Derek Stop from North Carolina. Hey, man, you gotta

305
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 6: feel good where the inks are, I mean, especially in

306
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 6: the weak Ale East. But I noticed that they have

307
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 6: the second best winning percentage in the majors against teams

308
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 6: that are above five hundred. So they're playing well against

309
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 6: good teams overall, which is obviously great to see. But

310
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 6: one comment for you, I know you're a big, maddingly guy.

311
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 3: Me too.

312
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 6: Yesterday I watched a doc called Donnie Baseball. There was

313
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: actually a segment where Hal was interviewed and he mentioned

314
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 6: that Donnie said to him one time that one thing

315
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 6: he hated about George was that George always traded away

316
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 6: the farm to try to win right now and didn't

317
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 6: kind of take that future outlook, and that Hell took

318
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 6: note of that. And then of course, you know, we

319
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 6: all know the dynasty happened with the Core five there.

320
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 6: But hey, you know what we've done with the youngsters

321
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 6: this year, kept the volpies and the races of the

322
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 6: world when you know, we could have done more of

323
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 6: those Soto type trades, and just to see how they've

324
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 6: responded this year and being such a big part of

325
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 6: the mix, well, you know, maybe there's something to be

326
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 6: said for hol and maybe we should give him some flowers.

327
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: Everyone appreciate the call. Yeah, I mean, first of all,

328
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: I love that you called it the Core five and

329
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: not the Core four, because I don't think Bernie Williams

330
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: gets the credit he deserves and he's not considered part

331
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: of the Core four. But to me, Bernie Williams kicked

332
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: off that renaissance in the nineties and I was actually

333
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: at his first five hit game of his career. So yeah,

334
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: and you know how he does some things right. You know,

335
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: he made the phone call to seal the Judge deal.

336
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: Uh and yeah, I mean they seem to hang on

337
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: to the right people and the guys they've traded away

338
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times don't become much. We've had that

339
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: isn't always true. You know, Joaquin Arius Josh Smith both

340
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: became really good players, you know from the gallow trade,

341
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: but a lot of these guys that they've dealt don't

342
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: become much. You know, a couple of pictures from the

343
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: Montas deal worked at you know, JP Sears has turned

344
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: into a pretty good pitcher, So you know, I will

345
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: give how a little bit of credit there. And final

346
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: call as we talk about the bullpen.

347
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: Hey, Derek Core from Long Island, great show you got,

348
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 2: thank you for always doing it. Question is what do

349
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: we do in terms of the middle of the bullpen.

350
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 2: Obviously Weaver who's struggled a little bit still as nails,

351
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: Devin Williams come around, do you think we should bring

352
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: up a guy like Carrasco And it starts to get

353
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 2: to the dog days this summer and try to have

354
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: him be a long reliever, get two.

355
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 4: Three innings, or do you think they should trade for

356
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 4: a guy.

357
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: What do you think? Thank you for everything you do,

358
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: have a great day.

359
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the call. I actually had the thought

360
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: of Carrasco coming up and just kind of eating some

361
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: innings this week, because you want to be fresh when

362
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: you play the Dodgers this weekend. Dodgers are no joke,

363
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: especially their lineup. Their pitching is kind of injured right now.

364
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: But you do have a day off before that series.

365
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: If you can get a great start out of Rodin tonight,

366
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: maybe let's say seven, seven and two thirds, you know,

367
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: this might be one of those games where you push

368
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: Roadan to throw one hundred and fifteen pitches right and

369
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: then you kind of saved the bullpen. What you really

370
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: don't want to happen is for Rodin to exit early tonight,

371
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what the weather is looking like

372
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: in Anaheim, but if you have some kind of rain

373
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: delay where he has to come out, or God forbid,

374
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: he gets injured or something.

375
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 4: Like that, that.

376
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: Just screws your bullpen for the rest of the week.

377
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to, you know, sending down somebody

378
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: like you know, Pablo Reys, if you're allowed to. I

379
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: know you have to have a certain amount of pitchers

380
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: and certain amount of hitters on the roster, but if

381
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: we could find a way to get a fresh arm

382
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: this week, it would be it would be nice. All right,

383
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, I will catch you after the game.

384
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a little Derek Knight for the next

385
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: few hours and kind of getting myself in the moon

386
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: for some night baseball. Today we will talk about on

387
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: the post game players and what they're on pace for

388
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: this season. You know, you know Volpi and you know

389
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: he's on pace for about eighteen home runs and you know,

390
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: close to ninety or more than the ninety RBIs judge,

391
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: he's on a ridiculous pace as always. So we'll go

392
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: over the numbers exactly tonight, and of course we'll spotlight
