WEBVTT - Yankees Beat Cubs, Take Series, & Make BIG Trade 0:00:01.400 --> 0:00:02.880 Wonder pull Cats, old. 0:00:05.120 --> 0:00:11.760 All right series win, gotta like it, Welcome back Everybody. 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.600 Game one hundred and twelve for the Yankees is in 0:00:14.840 --> 0:00:17.560 the books. They take this one two to one over 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.239 the Cubs. They win the Rubber Game. So I would 0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.400 start for Garrett Cole, big two run home run by 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:28.240 Jose Cabaliro, and the Yankees are apparently finalizing a couple 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.600 of trades. It sounds like Luis Garcia Junior and Adlie 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.800 Rushman could be Yankees before too long. We'll talk about 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.800 all of that as we go through this tonight, but 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:42.320 I gotta start with Austin Wells and giving him credit 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:47.160 for the Thurman Munson inspired catcher's gear today. I thought 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:52.159 that was a really really classy move. Nice job. He 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.640 also went with the fu Man chew, which was great, 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:59.000 very classy. I never got to see Thurman play, obviously. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.720 They lost Thurman and Night teen seventy nine on this date. 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.080 My brother Mike shout out to Mike was a big, 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.920 big Thurman Munson fan, and he still talks about how 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.960 good Thurman was to this day. I never got to 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.759 see him. I wish I could have another good way 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.640 to honor Thurman. Would have been with a couple of hits, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:18.080 but did not work out that way for Austin Wells 0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.039 Oh for one, today he did draw a walk, but 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.240 hitting one sixty one, and that is part of the 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:26.280 reason why, you know, maybe as of tomorrow his days 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:31.480 as the starting catcher could be finished. Yankees offense was 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.800 pretty much the story, not only in the series but 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.000 on the road trip. I don't know how they went 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.720 six and four on this trip, scoring a few runs 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.640 as they did. Garrett Cole gets the w today, and 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.400 with the trade deadline kind of hanging over everything, kind 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.640 of like when someone farts in an elevator and it 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:50.400 just kind of hangs there in the air until the 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.920 doors open up. You know, this was a tense series. 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.480 Anybody could be gone at any time, and Yankees still 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.880 managed to win two out of three. Jose Cabira with 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.560 the big swing today. David Bednar gets another save. He's 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.720 got twenty four saves and he's been great lately. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.640 He's got titanium nuts. 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.440 Trek Scoubell is headed to the Dodgers. I'm sure we'll 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.000 talk about that a little bit as the show goes along. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.320 Terrence and I last night were certain that he was 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.280 gonna go to Milwaukee because it sounded like Milwaukee was close, 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.200 and it kind of had that vibe of when they 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.359 went out and got CC Sabathia back in two thousand 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.920 and eight before he signed with the Yankees. And so 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.720 it was a little bit of a surprise when I 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.080 got the tweet last night from Jeff Passing, but not 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.480 that much of a surprise. But hey, it's good to 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.360 see that the scrappy Dodgers finally have something good going 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:45.839 for him. Anyway, let's get to the good, bad and 0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:50.680 the ugly in this one. Checking on the offense. So 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.079 cab i Ro destroyed a two run home run. That's 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:58.880 career best eleven home runs for him. Ryan McMahon hit 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.560 a rope, Rosario had a hit, Domingus had an opposite 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.359 field single. But other than that, not much good today. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.600 Ben Rice is in a little bit of a slump. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.440 He is down to two sixty six. As they mentioned 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.280 on the broadcast numerous times today, He's been facing a 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.440 lot of lefties and you see today he took the 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:21.880 silver sombrero with three strikeouts. Tough day for mister Ben Rice. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.760 Spencer Jones had a tough day. He went oh for 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.120 four after a couple of home runs in this series, 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:31.320 and Jazz Chisholm continues to really really struggle for the Cubs. 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.800 Pete Crow Armstrong had three walks today but did not 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.160 pick up a knock. Say A Suzuki had a multi 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.920 hit game. Bush had a good game, Bragman had a 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:43.200 tough day. Hap drew walk, Horner had a base hit. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.680 Ramirez went oh for three with a walk and a steal, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.000 Swanson went oh for four, Amaya oh for three, and 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.160 kenfordo oh for one. That is the good, the bad, 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:59.320 and the ugly. But uh, let's get to the nitty 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.360 gritty so we can. I'll talk trades because that's what 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.280 I know everybody wants to get to. So I'll blow 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.040 through this. And you know, I haven't given out the 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.080 belt yet. I haven't decided I'm going to write it 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.320 down right now. I'm going to quietly work on this 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.960 by myself, and we're gonna pick somebody and it will 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:21.760 be a surprise because there's a lot of good candidates today. Obviously, 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.640 Garrett Cole threw the ball well, you had Brent Hedrick 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.240 following him up. You had the two run home run 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.359 by cab I Row what name am I writing in? 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:36.240 Let me know in the comments who we're giving it 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.000 out to, and boom, it's set. It's done. So when 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.719 we reveal the belt, that will be breaking news in 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.640 just a few minutes. The Cabby Arrow home run was 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:50.160 destroyed four hundred and seven feet with the wind blowing 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:56.200 in scrappy player. He's done a nice job. It's funny 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.320 we're not hearing much about the Yankees getting a short stop. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.560 I think they're leading more into Lombard Junior coming up. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.360 Lombard Junior hit another home run. He has been on 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.880 base a ton, I believe they said like twenty five 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.920 straight games. He went four for five today versus the 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.560 Iowa Cubs with three RBIs. He's hitting two fifty five 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.760 with six home runs and eighteen RBIs and an eight 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.680 to fifteen OPS. So no home runs today apparently, but 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.760 I thought I saw one. Might have been from yesterday. Anyway. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:25.599 He had been cold over his last five games. But 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.160 four hits today for mister Lombard. We could see him 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:32.320 up after the trade deadline. We'll see in the sixth inning, 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.320 runners on first and second, fly ball to right field 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.800 and Jason Dominguez air mailed the cutoff man instead of hitting, 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.200 you know, making a reasonable throw, we're going to second 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.440 with it, and that allowed the go ahead run to 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.560 get to second base. He tried to throw out one 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.839 of the fastest guys in baseball going from second to third, 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.480 which is the longest throw you can possibly make anyway, 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.680 And so I think that was a dumb move. Jason. Look, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:02.960 I think he's got two pretty good swings. Now. We 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.799 saw a nice opposite field single today. He's been hitting 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.040 better from the right side against lefties. But this guy 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:15.080 is an absolute abomination in the outfield, an absolute abomination. 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.679 They should make the minor leaguers in the Yankee system 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:22.920 watch baseball games right or or even like play MLB 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.760 the Show or something. We got. Okay, so the breaking news. 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:33.040 The Yankees have made a deal for Luis Garcia Junior. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.760 This is from Jeff Passon. This is breaking news. We're 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:42.400 gonna pull Garcia up here and take a look at 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:48.240 his numbers because this is a move where you're getting 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.000 a basically a platoon player, and we'll dive more into 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.120 him in just a minute. But twenty three home runs, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:07:01.360 two eighty three average, eight seventy three ops and he 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.039 hits much better against righty's then against lefties. He's a 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.920 first baseman slash DH, so it's an interesting move. He'll 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:12.880 probably play first base or DH against righty's, and then 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:17.320 against lefties you go with either gold Schmidt or Stanton 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.480 when Stanton is ultimately back. But we'll visit this in 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.040 just a minute. So welcome to the Yankees. Luis Garcia 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:28.920 Junior is breaking news. He mashes, so that's good. I 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:32.920 wanted to give a shout out to Brent Hedrick, who 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.960 pitched out of a bases loaded jam with Garrett Cole 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.280 leaving some runners on. It was three to zero in 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.920 the count and he came back to get the hitter. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.120 I thought that was a really, really big moment in 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.400 the game. Bednar threw the ball well today and the 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.560 bullpen did its job. Yankees only got two runs, but 0:07:52.600 --> 0:08:01.040 they managed to squeak out the victory over wins yik 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.080 and if somebody can keep an eye on who we 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:10.040 got back as prospects in this trade deadline, I'm in 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.320 this trade for Garcia. I'll try and keep an eye 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:16.520 on it. I'm not seeing exactly who has been moved, 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.160 but this is according to Jeff passon and I'll share 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.760 the screen. Right now. The Yankees are acquiring infielder Luis 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:27.239 Garcia Junior from the Washington National sources tele ESPN. Garcia, 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.400 twenty six, leads the National League in slugging percentage and 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.360 is hitting two eighty three with a three thirteen on 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.920 a base percentage and a five to sixty slugging percentage 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:38.360 and twenty three home runs. He's under club control through 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.800 the end of next season, if there is a next season. 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:45.120 Thanks a lot to the La Dodgers belt today, Brent 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:58.000 Hedrick got out of a huge jam. Nice job by head. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.360 It's number forty seven. First belt of the year. I 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.400 believe we can look through the belt standings. We haven't 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:09.400 done that in a while. Bellinger is your leader with eight. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:13.000 Last year's champion Jazz only has five, cab i Ro 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.920 has four. As we move further down, Domingez with two, 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.040 Volpie with two, Stanton and Judge each with two, and 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.320 Frankie Baseball with one. How about that? But first belt 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:28.199 of the season for Brent Hedrick. Nice job. Okay, I've 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.000 got to update my lower third here just for the 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:37.480 people who are joining. The Yankees have acquired Luis Garcia Junior. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:43.200 He is a first baseman slash DH for the Washington Nationals, 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:48.079 now for the Yankees. And let me just update this 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:55.000 real quick and we'll have some fresh breaking news. Sorry 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:58.000 for the delay, We're trying to get you some updates 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:03.880 in real time. Okay, let's talk about this trade here, 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:11.880 all right. So Luis Garcia headed to the Yankees four prospects. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.520 We do not know exactly who the prospects are yet. 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.760 I will find out as soon as I can. Frankie 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.440 Baseball is on it. He is in the chat. By 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.600 the way, Frankie Baseball also on the block. We had 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.560 a deal arranged with the Snake's territory, but Frankie failed 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:33.400 the physical unfortunately, and so we're stuck with him for now. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.679 But any takers out there, all we're looking for is 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:41.400 a pt BNL podcaster to be named later. Shout out 0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:45.800 to Frankie Baseball in the prospects in the chat. Okay, 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:49.600 So Luis Garcia Junior, let's talk about him. This is 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:55.360 a big, big move. Statistically, he's somewhat similar to Ben Rice, 0:10:55.520 --> 0:11:00.640 big time power from the left side. He's first baseman slash. 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.120 He's played a little bit of second base He's hitting 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.400 two eighty three with twenty three home runs and seventy 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:10.720 six RBIs and a eight seventy three OPS overall. I'll 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:15.520 share some of his splits with you real quick versus lefties, 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:17.960 hitting just two eighteen with three home runs and twelve 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.520 RBIs in a six twenty eight OPS. That leads you 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.320 to believe this is going to be a platoon move. 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:24.280 He will be in there to help the Yankees against 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:28.040 right handed pitching, which he absolutely mashes to a tune 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:31.440 of a nine eighteen OPS and twenty home runs versus 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:33.400 just right He's hitting two ninety five, so a little 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.360 bit of average, and look at the strikeout percentage only 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.320 fifteen point eight percent versus lefties, it's still not that bad. 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.439 Nineteen point three percent. That's lower than a lot of Yankees. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.480 So he makes contact in close and late situations. He's 0:11:47.480 --> 0:11:49.079 been known to get the big hit too, hitting three 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:52.840 fourteen in those situations with runners in scoring position. I 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.040 love this. He is hitting three thirty. 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:58.720 And he's only. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:03.079 Struck out thirteen percent of the time in ninety eight 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.200 played appearances. I love that this is a guy who 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.400 obviously has an approach with runners in scoring position, and 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:14.400 apparently hits better at home than at the Nationals Ballpark. 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.640 He hit two sixty one with an eight h three 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.840 OPS at Washington and then on the road hitting three 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.240 oh six with twelve home runs and forty three RBIs. 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:27.160 Let's break down his monthly numbers. So in March and 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.199 April he hit two fifty three with a six forty 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.560 six OPS. Much better in May two eighty eight, four 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:37.520 home runs, fourteen RBIs. In June absolutely blistering, he hit 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.880 three oh six with eleven home runs and twenty seven 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.320 RBIs and a one point one two eight OPS. In 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:47.200 July two ninety two seven home runs, nineteen RBIs, a 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:50.120 nine to forty one OPS, and so far in August 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.040 just one for four. This is a guy who in 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.319 his career has eighty one career home runs. Take a 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.560 look at his season logs because this is probably his 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.199 best year. So you go back to last sear he's 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.960 in only sixteen home runs, so he's already blown past that. 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:04.640 So this is the guy who does what a lot 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:09.360 of Yankees prospects don't do, which is improve and back 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.520 to twenty twenty four eighteen home runs two eighty two average. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.360 So he's always kind of made contact, just a sixteen 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:19.320 percent strikeout percentage back then back in twenty twenty three, 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.160 even lower strikeout percentage to sixty six average six eighty nine. 0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:25.840 Oh ps, he's been around for a while, you know. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.240 If he's been up since twenty since twenty twenty and 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.000 it's twenty twenty six now, it means he must have 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.080 come up as a teenager if he's just twenty six 0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:40.520 years old. But welcome to the Yankees, Luis Garcia Junior. 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.080 The way I view this is he's probably going to 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:48.040 against ridies again, be the DH or first baseman. It 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:52.440 also gives you the opportunity to, you know, keep Ben's 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.040 Ben Rice's bat a little bit more fresh, keep his 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.640 legs a little bit more fresh, play him at DH, 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.960 and then when Stanton comes back, one of them will 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.920 sit against lefties, probably Garcia because Ben Rice has actually 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.160 had a little bit of success against lefties, although lately 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.040 not so much. And then you still have Goldschmidt, although 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.000 we'll see what this spells for Goldsmith. The roster is 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:21.360 going to be reconstructioned, reconstructed, reconfigured a little bit over 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:25.480 the next few days. But welcome to Luis Garcia. This 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:27.360 is a big deal and I want to know who 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.440 was dealt in this move. In this move, so let 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.920 me know if you find out in the chat. We'll 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.200 find out soon. But we got a number of super 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:43.640 chats here. Clarkster says Ironballs Bednar should get the belt 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:46.640 with the four out save, I gave it to Hendrick. 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:52.600 Hendrick also has titanium nuts. He's got nuts, Frank Bednar 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:55.160 belt for holding it down. So maybe I missed Maybe 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:59.720 this was a missed arrow for me. Jack Herps says 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:01.960 to me, I guess brain dead fielder Wells when he 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:05.440 makes a wrong ABS challenge is the worst ever. Volpie 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:13.960 should all pack their bags tonight eight. But all right, 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.480 appreciate the chats everybody. Let's take a look at the 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:23.240 division snapshot. So the Rays lost to the White Sox 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.680 nine to one today, which means the Yankees pull back 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:30.040 to within two and a half games, so that is 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:35.040 good to see. And Orioles down eight nothing to the Phillies, 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.720 Blue Jays down five to one to the Cards, Red 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:42.120 Sox and Dodgers tonight. Red Sox have been absolutely on fire. 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.800 I don't think we took much of a look at 0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:48.160 Garrett Cole today, back to the Fitcher spotlight. We're all discombobulated, 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.600 all out of order today, but we have got to 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.720 talk about Garrett Cole because he threw the ball pretty well. 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:57.040 I thought that he was a gutsy. This is a 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.280 gritty performance for Garrett Cole today. First three innings were dominating. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.200 He ran into some hard hit balls. In the fourth 0:16:03.520 --> 0:16:06.120 double over Grisham's head in center field, line drive single 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.240 that fell in front of do Mingez. He was able 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.520 to get a big around the horn double play to 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.080 kind of get out of a could have been a 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.960 potential rally. He only round allowed one run on four 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.120 hits over five and two thirds innings. The stuff was 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.920 obviously still there topped out at ninety eight point seven. 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:25.720 The issue for me today was efficiency. He needed ninety 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.920 nine pitches to record seventeen outs. Although he did throw strikes, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.400 he was getting ahead of guys, but he walked three 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.840 hitters and he had two innings that were pretty labor intensive. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.120 It took twenty one pitches to get through the first inning, 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.120 it took twenty six pitches to get through the six 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.080 and he didn't even finish getting through the sixth. But 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:46.880 he got ahead of hitters sixteen out of the twenty 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.320 three hitters. He threw a first pitch strike. The change 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:51.920 up I thought was today. Through fourteen change ups, the 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.520 slider was getting hit pretty hard. All three balls in 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:57.120 play against the slider were classified as hard hit. So 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.800 this was an encouraging sign because it was a gutsy 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.080 per performance. He kept the ball in the ballpark. Nice job. 0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:07.920 I'm gonna go ahead and give him his flowers, all right, 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:10.919 I need a breath of fresh air. Quick word from 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.720 Ken Rosenthalden back to take some voicemails and talk about 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:14.160 these further. 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.240 Var There is one place to be on trade deadline 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.960 day watching Foul Territory of course. 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:20.320 A j. 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.280 Perdinski, Eric Kratz and Scott Braun will be live all 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:27.199 afternoon speaking with insiders, reading tea leaves and reacting to 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.240 unfolding deadline drama. Join us on the FT YouTube channel 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.000 at one pm ET and stay locked in through the 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:38.520 six pm deadline next Monday. Foul Territory Network. It's baseball 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:44.080 the way it should be covered, okay, and. 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:49.880 We have some updates here and Frankie, you can cut 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.080 this together with the other clip and we'll put out 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:55.359 a separate clip that breaks all of this down. The Nationals. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.800 We'll receive right handed pitcher Ben grabl right handed pitcher 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.240 Jovanni Cruz, who just got called back up, Jack Siebert, 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:09.960 and Jake Bird. Bye bye, Birdie. I'm not gonna miss 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.679 Jake Bird. I'm sorry. I apologize to Jake Bird and 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.720 his family. I will not miss him at all. Here's 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:16.160 another call. 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.960 Hey, Derek Matt here from California. It is absolutely insane 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:21.439 that the only way the Yankees scorre is home runs. 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.480 That's insane. I mean, if they win, cool, but they. 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:25.439 Got to figure that out. Man. 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:29.080 I started getting those guys in with hits. That's nuts. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.000 Yeah, I mean not a ton of hits today. Multi 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:33.840 hit game for Cab I arrow. I think that was 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:35.840 the only multi hit game that the Yankees had. I mean, 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.840 would they have five hits today? That's all we got 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.080 five dang on hit Yeah, five hits. Cubs only had 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:44.960 four hits. Like I was saying the other day, offense 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:48.439 is just down across baseball, and it's it's kind of 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.160 made the game a little bit less interesting in my opinion. 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.600 I miss having more offense. I mean, the fact is 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.800 pitchers are so good right now. Everybody throws gas. Everybody's 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.200 got pitch labs and just tunneling and all this stuff. 0:19:02.240 --> 0:19:04.040 I mean, that's just the way the game has evolved. 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:06.440 I liked some of the ideas that you guys had 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.520 the other day of making the game a little bit 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.720 more offensively aligned. I like the idea of shrinking the 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:14.359 strike zone a little bit. Maybe you shrink the strike 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:18.880 zone fifteen or twenty percent across all directions. Force the pitchers, 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:22.399 even though they're gonna have nasty stuff, to throw the 0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:24.280 ball over the plate. I also like the idea of 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.400 going to less pitchers on the pitching staff, because that 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.920 could force pitchers to stay in there when they're a 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.159 little bit tired. It could force you to, uh, you know, 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.359 maybe go to less matchups and to maybe use righty's 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.639 against the lefty or lefties against a righty in a 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.040 situation where you normally would go to, you know, to 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:46.879 make another move. Here's Spike, Derek Spike from the Jersey. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:50.240 I'm watching the game and we're winning right now, and 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:53.840 I'm still feeling like I'm feeling pain watching this game. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:57.359 It's like every Yankee at BET, It's like pop out 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:00.920 or strike out, pop out, strikeout, strikeouts, strike out, pop out, 0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:04.120 pop out, strikeout, pop out, pop out, pop out, pop out, 0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:08.400 or a home run. It's just frustrating that we can't 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.600 be like other teams and just string together a single 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:14.000 and a double, maybe a strikeout then in a double. Something 0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:15.000 like that would be awesome. 0:20:15.840 --> 0:20:21.840 Appreciate the call. Pain feeling pain watching the Yankees win games. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:26.280 There's another call top of the seventh inning, one runner on, 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.840 and they bring in the lefty specialists and Jazz is up, 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.200 who'd already struck out four times last night, was zero 0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.040 for two tonight. Why do we not bring in gold 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:39.399 Schmid to pinch hit right there, and then bring in 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:43.280 Volpi to play short stop and move Cavierro over the. 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:49.880 Second Interesting, it's an interesting question to go. I hate 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:51.879 it when people call him baboo. I mean, look, the 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.080 Yankees have been destroyed by injuries, and I'm as tough 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:59.320 on Aaron Boone as anybody, but he's pushed enough of 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.720 the right buttons. The Yankees are still in this without 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:05.200 Garrett Cole, without Max Freed for damn near two months 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.160 or maybe more than two months, you know, without Carlos 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.480 Rodin for the bulk of the season. I don't know how, 0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:13.440 but with smoking mirrors, this team is still just two 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.439 and a half games back from having the best record 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.960 in the American League. As we're getting more notifications here, 0:21:19.760 --> 0:21:23.120 nothing new yet, but I'll let you know if any 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:26.640 news breaks, and obviously we'll break in with fresh coverage 0:21:27.160 --> 0:21:30.440 as things happened. But Frankie, let's get a fresh video 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:35.480 up there with the Louis Garcia news for those people 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:37.359 who are just joining. Let's take a look at the 0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:44.600 game breakdown today. And it was just five hits for 0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.120 the Yanks today. That was the offensive story. Nine strikeouts, 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:50.280 They left five men on base, they went over three 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:54.960 with runners in scoring position. They struck out ten Cubs hitters. 0:21:55.040 --> 0:22:00.000 Ryan McMahon hit the hardest ball of the day and 0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:06.560 Garrett Cole ninety eight point seven with the top villa. Okay, 0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.880 let's take a few more voicemails. Here's Mary Beth, Eric, 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:10.600 it's Mary Beth. 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:12.480 We're going into the bottom of the ninth and I 0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:14.399 hope we win. I don't know how many times you 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:17.240 can do this, but there won't be any more fans 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:21.640 wet because they're killing us. They're killing us with this offense. 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:23.520 Okay, Doll, I'll look forward to your show. 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:30.000 You're not wrong, You're not wrong, Mary Beth. Here is Willie. 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:31.879 Hey, Derek, this is Willy. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:37.560 I wonder if Dad is playing away, playing at the plate, 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:40.840 so nobody would want him in a trade. 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:47.440 That's an interesting that's an interesting thought there, Willie. Anyway, 0:22:47.480 --> 0:22:50.840 call in with your voicemails and thoughts on the Garcia trade. 0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:55.800 We're gonna do a morning pinstrike coffee break tomorrow deadline day. 0:22:56.080 --> 0:22:58.399 Take a look at any more moves that could be 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:02.040 around the bend, and there's been talk about Adlee Rushman. 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.119 The thought is that right now the Yankees are trying 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.800 to base a deal around Ryan Weathers or Will Warren. 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:11.679 I think I would make either one of those moves. 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.480 But call in with your thoughts. Seven one, eight, eight, nine, nine, 0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:18.879 ten sixty eight. Rushman still on the il former franchise 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.359
