Can they get 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 2: the offense going in the right direction? Joining me tonight 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: is foul territories?

Joining me tonight is mister Scott Braun, 12 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: a foul territory of whose hair I am exceedingly jealous 13 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 2: since I shaved all of mine off. Scott, How you doing? Man? 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 3: Probably warmer than you, although you've got the efty hat on, 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 3: which is which is super cozy. But I'm good. I mean, 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 3: I'm in a good movie. It's trade deadline week. Nothing's 17 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: happened yet. But this is one of my favorite times 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 3: of year. This is Christmas Ish for baseball fans. 19 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: I say that all the time. This is like the 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: holiday like, this is the time of year where I 21 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: sleep the worst, except for the Winter meetings, because the 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 2: Winter meetings they always break stuff two in the morning. 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 2: And you gotta be ready. Like the Wan Soto thing 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: came out middle of the night. I had just turned 25 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: off my phone and I got up to go pee, 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: and when I came back, I just let me check 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: the phone one more time, and the move had been made. 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: So this is the time of year, man, I'm loving it. 29 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: I'm loving it. So how are things going with Foul Territory? Man, 30 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: I'm loving the growth. I love watching you guys every day. 31 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: It's been one of the privileges of my career. 32 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been awesome. Obviously awesome to have you on board. 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 3: As you know, it's been a really cool rise in 34 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: terms of what we figure out our voice should be, 35 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: like who should be involved? Right. We've had some players 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: added to the mix this year that I think people 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: have been excited about. Former players Trevor may Cam Mayban, 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: guys like that, right, keeping some of the core and 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: then also just really diving into what people want, which 40 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 3: you know this time of year is trade deadline talk. 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: And when you have Ken Rosenthal part of your team 42 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: who is breaking half of those trades, it's the best. 43 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: And then you're also friends with anyone else that has 44 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: I think a relevant say in terms of actually talking 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 3: to gms behind the scenes and getting real world, real 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 3: word on what's actually happening. So it's been great, and 47 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 3: then the TV edition has been cool. Obviously it's YouTube first. 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 3: We didn't give any of that up. You can hear 49 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 3: us on the pods and everywhere else. But it is 50 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: cool to bring in an audience that might not have 51 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: seen you, that might not be on YouTube, and it's 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: actually a way to kind of bring them in. I've 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 3: been doing this lately, Derek. I think you like this 54 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: where sometimes I'll be on there and I'll go hey, 55 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 3: and if you want to ask a question live during 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 3: the show, you can still watch it on TV while 57 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: you're doing that, but at least hop into the chat 58 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 3: here on YouTube and interact with our great people on 59 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: here that are having conversations and asking questions. And we 60 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 3: will ask some of those questions on the show. 61 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: And by the way, feel free to send in your 62 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: questions for Scott here. So we've got some things that 63 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: we're kind of up to talk about, but we'll be 64 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 2: happy to deviate as necessary for the audience. We love 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: our fans, but it feels like Scott over the last 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 2: few years, the Yankees have kind of tried to fit 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: queen sized solutions over king sized problems, and the corners 68 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: always keep popping off, right. They're doing that again this 69 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 2: year with JD. Davis, you know. And I just feel 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: like there's issues within the organization itself, not necessarily with 71 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: the roster. In any given year, no roster is perfect, 72 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: but maybe like philosophy wise, maybe like culture wise. What's 73 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: your assessment of the Yankees as an organization from the outside, 74 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 2: you know, as somebody who's not a Yankees fan, what 75 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: is your when you look at the organization? What do 76 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: you think? 77 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: I don't feel like it's modernized enough. Maybe that's too 78 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 3: harsh because I look at the game in a certain 79 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 3: entertainment way. There's so many things that make the Yankees 80 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: special and professional and feel different from everyone else. The 81 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: history already comes with it. I'm just always wondering if 82 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: it feels like they're having as much fun as everyone else, 83 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: because that can put on added pressure. And I don't 84 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: even think all of that has to necessarily do with 85 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: New York. I mean, look over to the Mets. It's 86 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 3: not like you're trying to mimic the franchise in terms 87 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: of wins. And losses. But this year they're struggling. They're 88 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: not a great team. It's not a playoff team on paper. 89 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: From what I saw heading into the season. They're exceeding expectations. 90 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 3: I think partially because they've come together. They sign someone 91 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: like Jose Iglasias, they let them do a song postgame, 92 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: they have celebrations with the OMG sign and the dugout. 93 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: I always ask, would the Yankees do this, would they 94 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 3: feel like they need this? No, they don't do that, 95 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 3: so I would like to see that. I also just 96 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 3: I think it's fun. I think it would make new 97 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 3: players feel more comfortable and fit in very quickly, and 98 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: that's really important in the game. When we interview players 99 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 3: every day on Foul Territory, you hear that. Sometimes you're like, Oh, 100 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 3: the Dodgers, Okay, maybe they haven't had the best postseason success. 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: They've had the one World Series title during this run, 102 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: but they've had success with certain players that they either 103 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 3: come over there or come up from the minor leagues 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 3: and kind of hit the ground running. Because they always 105 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: say the same thing, I don't feel like a rookie 106 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: and I feel like I'm having fun and bringing over 107 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 3: what I did in the minor leagues to the major leagues. 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: So that's like the high level criticism. Of course, there's 109 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: definitely conversations we can go down in terms of, you know, 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 3: being over analytical, and I think some of that was 111 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: solid last year with the changes that they made on 112 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: the hitting coach side, which I'm sure was covered at length, 113 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: But that's my high level look at things. I'm like, 114 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: are we having enough fun? I think they did bring 115 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 3: a little bit of an edge with some players like 116 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 3: Stroman and Brudugo this year. I think that's good. I'm 117 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: always a fan of like the Tommy fam. You know, 118 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: sure you don't want them the whole season, but you 119 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 3: want to bring them in because you feel like you 120 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: need a punch in the face. Diamondbacks did that made 121 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: it to the World Series? 122 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: You know, I really like what Stroman has brought, like 123 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: just the intensity, even calling the intensity lack of intensity 124 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: out in the dugout. You don't see that a lot, 125 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: and it actually sparked the Yankees that game that you know, 126 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: they exploded after that, so it's maybe something they needed. 127 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: They tried that with Josh Donaldson, but I don't think 128 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: Josh Donaldson had the type of edge that they were 129 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: looking for. They kind of wanted someone who's a little bit, 130 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: you know, on the edgy side, but he's more of 131 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: like just a walking pain in the ass. He wasn't like, 132 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: you know, a raw, raw guy, you know what I mean. 133 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 3: He wasn't performing too, which always hurts. It's easier for 134 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 3: a guy to say something if he's doing it on 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: the field. Because Donaldson was that guy for the Braves 136 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: at one point. I don't know if you remember, he 137 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 3: had that bang up season, what was it three four 138 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: or five, maybe years ago at this point, and it 139 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 3: held an impact, but that was what they needed, and 140 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: that might not be what the Yankees needed. So I 141 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: think it had to do with that. The one other 142 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: guy that comes to mind because it was the same day, 143 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: I think, so Stroman, and then you had Justin Steele 144 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: who was freaking out in the dugout and the Cubs 145 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 3: actually went on a little run after that. I'm not 146 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 3: saying everything has to do with, you know, the way 147 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 3: that one dude freaks out, but I do feel like 148 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: variety is important in baseball. It's important in your bullpen, 149 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: it's important in your lineup, and it's important with your personalities. 150 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: And it's importing in your diet. I just got a 151 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: question here from the chat, So, Scott, what is your 152 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: diet like? And I joke all the time, Scott is 153 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: the version of me from an alternate universe that eats 154 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: vegetables like you know, I feel I feel like we 155 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: have a similar it's like shape of our like we're 156 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: both the same height, you know, broad shoulders, but you're 157 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: healthy and I eat gummy bears. 158 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is well, it's more of a problem that 159 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: came up. I mean, I've always been into working out, 160 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 3: but the food did take it to the next level 161 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: where you know, gluten and dari are the ones that 162 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: you can probably really connect with because those were the two, 163 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 3: you know, maybe fifteen years ago that I had to 164 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: adjust and once I did that, the body changed pretty quickly, 165 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: you know. I was definitely I gained some definition from that. 166 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: So without getting into all of the specifics, I will 167 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: say though, for as much as I love a good 168 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: paleomeal with meat and you know, salads and all that, 169 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: my girlfriend is currently behind this screen making cookies, they 170 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: just happen to be you know, with dairy free chocolate chips. 171 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: They basically taste the same nowadays. So there's just a 172 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: little tweaks that helped to tell the story here. So 173 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: I'm happy to lay out the whole game planet at 174 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: some point in the back, maybe on FT tomorrow while 175 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: someone's asking me question. 176 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to hijack the whole thing with dietime. 177 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: But the last thing that I want to mention while 178 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: we're on this topic is the whole beard thing. Like, 179 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: I feel like it's time to let that rule go, 180 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: don't you think so? 181 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: Man? 182 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: I mean, every player who leaves the Yankees grows a 183 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: beard immediately. You know, it's a tough enough place to play. 184 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 2: Why make it that much tougher, even if it's just 185 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: something that doesn't seem that big a deal, Like, oh, 186 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: it's just a beard, Like it's not like some unbelievable 187 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: tradition for eighty years. This is a rule from nineteen 188 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: seventy seven or something like that. 189 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: I'm totally on that boat, And if anything, I've scaled 190 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: back at times because people get so mad, they feel 191 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: threatened about it, as if they created the rule and 192 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 3: it's breaking the ultimate law. They try and make it 193 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: a political thing, which is super strange. I don't understand 194 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: it at all. I think it's way past its time. 195 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: I think you're preventing certain players from being themselves. You know, 196 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: I'm all for rules and following certain restrictions if need 197 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: be with a team, But if you pulled everyone and 198 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: ianomously in the league, you'd probably get ninety five plus 199 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: percent in the league saying it's so stupid if they 200 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: didn't have to put their name attached to it, it's 201 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: so stupid in today's world. I'm not saying that the 202 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 3: players should go out there and sleeveless and a thumb. 203 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: I'm just saying this is the one spot where we 204 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: can make a tweak. Now, you know, do we really 205 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: care if a player looks like this? Does it matter? 206 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: Like you sleeveless and the thong. That might help expand 207 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: to the you know, female audience a little bit, which 208 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: I know baseball is trying to do. 209 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 3: So MLB tried that, remember, I mean, it's become less 210 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 3: of a story just because everyone's used to it. But 211 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 3: the sweat on certain uniforms looks pretty disgusting and they're 212 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 3: working on changing it. But it's it's so bad that 213 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: we've gotten used to it. When a team's in a 214 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: certain gray and then it becomes a dark ray. It's 215 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 3: it's been ugly, but I do think it's time for 216 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: it to go. And it's I don't I don't think 217 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: it should be that big of a deal for people 218 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 3: to freak out, Like I'm sorry, do you are you 219 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: you know, related to the Steinberners and you think it 220 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 3: matters that much. I just I think most people don't 221 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: care and they need to get over it. And it's weird. 222 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 3: It's just something that makes people turned off, and right 223 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 3: I think it brings a badass component too. Yeah, lance 224 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 3: Lynn is not the same person if he doesn't have 225 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: this like grizzly bad attitude towards him, you know, like 226 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 3: on the mound at least, and they are preventing that. 227 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: There are some relievers that keep their hair long at 228 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: all times because they do really feel like it's a 229 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: distraction of hitters. We've interviewed some players that have felt 230 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: that way. You know, Josh Hater won't get rid of 231 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: it because he feels like it helps his fastball be 232 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: more deceptive. 233 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: Like, you know, who are you more afraid of in 234 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: the box? A guy who's out there with a big 235 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 2: grizzly beard. I mean, look on his face, or like 236 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 2: the guy with the double chin that's like two hundred 237 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: and fifty pounds and you know where in stripes, you know. 238 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, Yeah, So all right, let's talk 239 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: about Tarik's schooble because this guy, this is the guy 240 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: you guys have had on your show. I think he's 241 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: an awesome dude. Like he was one of my more 242 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: favorite interviews to watch. He's just a really cool guy. 243 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: Currently ten and three with a two point four to 244 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 2: one ERA, got zillion strikeouts, He's left handed, won't be 245 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: a free agent for another couple of years. What am 246 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 2: I missing? Why would they even consider moving this guy 247 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 2: when they're plausibly a playoff team in the next couple 248 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: of years. 249 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've just been ranting on and on. I've done 250 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: a few radio appearances in the last couple of days 251 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: where the name keeps coming up. Because he has just 252 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: as good of a shot as anyone to win the 253 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: Say Young Award, and he was my first half SI 254 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 3: Young pick in the American League. Hell no, hell no, 255 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: Tigers fans should go nuts if they entertain a trade 256 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: for him. If the Oriols want to give their entire 257 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: farm system away, and I mean like four top end prospects. Sure, 258 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: anybody has to have a conversation if we're including you know, 259 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 3: Kobe Mao, Jackson Holliday and even a Colton Kowser, Like 260 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 3: if we're just going down the line and going insane, 261 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: everybody has their price. But the Oriols won't do that, right. 262 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: So if the Ools are offering up like two of 263 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,959 Speaker 3: those guys, I'm hanging up the phone so hard. It's 264 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: one thing if this guy is going to be a 265 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: free agent after the season and they've already put a 266 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: contract offer his way and he's like, I don't want 267 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 3: to stay here, I'm not all about it. Cool, that's different. 268 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 3: This is two and a half more seasons of the 269 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: top pitcher in the America League right now for a 270 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: team that's not that far away from being a playoff contender. 271 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 3: So if you looked at them and said, okay, they're 272 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 3: the White Sox, they're not going to be good for 273 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: at least two three, maybe even four or five years, 274 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 3: that's fine. But this is the kind of guy at 275 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: twenty seven years old that I would be not only 276 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 3: riding but then offer an extension either now or in 277 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: the offseason. The Tigers aren't poor. They used to spend 278 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 3: like a real team. You get passed on to the 279 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 3: next generation in the ownership group, and they've kind of 280 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 3: pulled the reins back. But it would be a massive 281 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: mistake in my mind. He's also big. He's like six 282 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: threes to forty. It's got the build where you're like, 283 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 3: this dude can pitch till he's thirty five and he's 284 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 3: twenty seven. So I think it would be a disaster 285 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: if they end up trading him. Disaster. They shouldn't do it. 286 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: We shouldn't even be talking about it, and I'm pissed that 287 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 3: it's even come up. 288 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I look at uh Scooble, and I 289 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: see Randy Johnson before he went on that run, you 290 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like when he was maybe just 291 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: he was like the you know, you see him at 292 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 2: the All Star Game, It's like, Wow, this guy has 293 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 2: some crazy stuff, and then he's about to go on 294 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: that run, only he's like he's already on the ascent 295 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 2: ten and three. He's got a million strikeouts this year. 296 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't see any scenario where the Yankees 297 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: would even have what it takes to get I mean, 298 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 2: if you want to trade Spencer Jones and Jason Domingez 299 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,079 Speaker 2: and like two other guys, you might have a conversation. 300 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: But I don't think they would do that. I don't 301 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 2: think they should do that. 302 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: No. 303 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: I agree the Yanks have to have a corps too, 304 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: which we can get into, but I'm all for keeping 305 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 3: those two. I don't think you have to keep a ton. 306 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: But I think the really good teams that are putting 307 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: together sustained winning are circling two to four prospects and saying, basically, 308 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: no matter what, we're holding this, even if we have 309 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: to trade three, four or five guys from the next tier, 310 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: that's fine. But that's the way to win nowadays. I mean, 311 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: look at Garrett Cole to the Astros back in the day, right, 312 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 3: I mean, we knew the Pirates weren't going to be 313 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 3: able to keep him. They aren't in the same stratosphere 314 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,599 Speaker 3: payroll wise as the Tigers, even though they should be. 315 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: They're probably in a similar range right now, but in 316 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: the past they haven't been to They were like, we 317 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 3: can't keep him, let's trade him. Look back at that trade, 318 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: let me know how they did. It's a disaster. 319 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Crochet, because I do think that Crochet 320 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: is more of a realistic option. But there's some things 321 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: with him that kind of, you know, unsettle my stomach 322 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: a little bit. We don't know, at least I don't 323 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 2: if he's even gonna be able to pitch in the playoffs, 324 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: like or what's his inning situation? Like what have you heard? 325 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: This is a guy who's he's like kind of like 326 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 2: Luis Heel where he's way over anything he's ever done 327 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: at the major league level in terms of innings pitch. 328 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: He's pitched really great. He hasn't been quite as good lately, 329 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 2: but he's he's still having a really good year. Still 330 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: dynamic stuff, electric fastball, a ton of strikeouts. To me, 331 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: he reminds me of Chris Sale, a little bit younger 332 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: version of Chris Sale. But what are your thoughts on 333 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: Crochet and what it would take to get him and 334 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: who's the favorite? 335 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's got a little more meat on the bone, 336 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 3: so that helps. But it still is a law of 337 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 3: averages where if you haven't pitched that much as a starter, 338 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 3: which he hasn't done, you're likely to either a get 339 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: hurt or at least be fade down the stretch if 340 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: you keep keep if you keep going on the same schedule. Right, 341 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: So here's what I think will happen. I think he 342 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 3: will be traded, so I think he'll be the top 343 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: arm talent available on the market. You might go to 344 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: a team like the Dodgers or the Orioles. I think 345 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: they'll immediately put him on a game plan where they'll 346 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: probably scale him back, whether it's skipping starts or I 347 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: think even potentially putting him in the bullpen for a 348 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: couple months and then kind of stretching him out and 349 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: seeing where they're at. If it's the Dodgers, it's different 350 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: because they might have enough of rotation anyway where he 351 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 3: just serves as a two or three inning ace that's 352 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: coming out of the bullpen in hot spots like that 353 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 3: Josh Hater Andrew Miller back in the day, which would 354 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: be nasty, and he could definitely do that, and then 355 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: you would save up the innings. I think he's going 356 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 3: to go to a contender that's not going to treat 357 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 3: him the way the White Sox are right now. I'd 358 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 3: be shocked if a team's just like, yeah, let's do 359 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 3: two hundred innings coming from thirty or whatever it was 360 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: last year. It's just not common. And if you're trading 361 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: for him, you're giving up a lot and you still 362 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 3: have two years after this, so you have to protect 363 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 3: the long term asset. But you do want to use 364 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: him this year. You're not going to just shut him down. 365 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 3: But I think the White Sox are just like, he's 366 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 3: almost gone, let's audition and make him look perfect, and 367 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 3: then the next team will have to deal with him. 368 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: So if you're a Yanks fan, first of all, I 369 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna get him because I think it 370 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: has to involve one of those two names that you 371 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: just mentioned, and I don't think that they want to 372 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 3: do that, and I don't think they will do that, 373 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: but for their you know, other teams they're going after, 374 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 3: or like the Orioles say, I could see a team 375 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: like that bringing him on help out the bullpen for 376 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: a little bit, and then they'll figure it out in 377 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: the postseason. Maybe he's fine and they kind of like 378 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 3: rebuild him back up to four or five innings in 379 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 3: the postseason, maybe six. But you have to be careful 380 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 3: just because you look at the past and everybody's had 381 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: problems if you go from zero to one hundred. 382 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: It's really inconvenient for the Yankees that the Orioles are 383 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: this good because they've still got this horde of prospects 384 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: that they can move and the division is so close 385 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: that they're gonna be going for it. They've got this 386 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 2: new ownership, they're gonna be trading, they're gonna be trying 387 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: to get better, and the Yankees just can't hang. They 388 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: can't fuck with the Orioles prospects. They really can't. And 389 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: I'm not willing personally to give up both jones Or 390 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: and Domingaz, Like it's probably gonna cost both those guys, 391 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: Like if you want to make this kind of significant 392 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: move and you know, just just considering the competition with 393 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: your in your own division, which makes me wonder if 394 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: there's like other baseball deals out there, you know, can 395 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: you can you move labor Torres for somebody who needs 396 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 2: a bat? Can you get a Tanner Scott? Can you 397 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: get a Jazz Chisholm? Are there ways that you can 398 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: build this roster? So you know, maybe it's not the 399 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: king size solution, but maybe you get a couple of 400 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 2: hairpins to keep the sheet. 401 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 3: On yeah, and those are all good names, and that's 402 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 3: more in the ballpark of what they should be looking at. 403 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: And here's the thing that the Yankees should always be doing, 404 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 3: especially in a time when they don't want to shed 405 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 3: some of their top prospects. Figure out ways to be 406 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 3: creative with money. Take on all of the money right 407 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: from a player. Because sometimes they've been creative in the past. 408 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 3: I think maybe it was like the gallow deal and 409 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 3: a couple other deals where they actually convinced the teams 410 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: to keep some of the money. This is not one 411 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 3: of those cases right now because they don't have the 412 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 3: same prospect capital that they've had in the past in 413 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: my mind, especially in terms of depth. So I'm making 414 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: sure that I'm taking on cash. I mean, I brought 415 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 3: this scenario up for a Luis Robert. I don't think 416 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: that's necessarily a fit for the Yankees, but he's got 417 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 3: significant money left, and you know, I'm telling another radio station, 418 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 3: it's like, hey, you should be able to take on 419 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 3: this money so that you're not giving up too much 420 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: in a prospect return. I think the names are bringing 421 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: up make a lot of sense. I think Tanner Scott 422 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 3: would be awesome. That'd be a great guy to have 423 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 3: left side out of the bullpen. Think they need another 424 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: guy there. I know, you know, Yankee fans have been 425 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: on and off about Clay Holmes not as sharp at 426 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 3: times this year as last year. Glabor's the tricky one 427 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 3: for me. I think you can trade him for very 428 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 3: little to a team probably might have to eat. I mean, 429 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: he's not cheap. I don't know what he's making. Probably 430 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 3: ten twelve. 431 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: Million, I think. But he's one of those guys. You know, 432 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: he goes to Seattle, he's going to hit three forty 433 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 2: for a month. You know he's going to do it, 434 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: and he's gonna hit bombs and he's going to be 435 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: Glabor again. He's just not comfortable right now in New 436 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: York and the pressure seems to be getting to him. 437 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: I think a change of scenery would be great for him, 438 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 2: but they'd have to replace. I mean, who else are 439 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: you gonna put over their second base. I mean, Jazz 440 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: chism is somebody that has been talked about. I don't 441 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: know much about Jazz Chisholm as the second basement. You 442 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 2: have you watched him at all play the infield. 443 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have, and I liked him better at second base, 444 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: I think than any position I've seen him at from 445 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 3: what I recall, so I think he could pretty easily 446 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: shift back over there. They auditioned him at least one 447 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: game right before the All Star break to put him 448 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 3: in there, and that was solely for the purpose of saying, hey, 449 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 3: just so you remember he has played second base in 450 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 3: the past. Because he's not the world's best center fielder, right, 451 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 3: they threw him in there and he's been okay. I 452 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 3: would be curious to see what his current defensive metrics are, 453 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 3: but also by the eye test, the spot for him 454 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 3: is second base, so it's not a bad idea. The 455 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: Marlins are definitely going to trade him. He costs some money, 456 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 3: not a crazy amount, but it would be potentially a 457 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 3: good change of scenery for both sides. I would do that. 458 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: I don't think you're going to get much of anything 459 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 3: for labor. And the concern, probably for the Yanks, is 460 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 3: we're going to take on Jazz trade prospects for him, 461 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 3: take on the money, and then also have to trade 462 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 3: Glay and eat some of the money. So that is 463 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 3: tough for an ownership group to swallow. So I just 464 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 3: want Yankee fans to temper expectations. You're probably not going 465 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: to get much for him, Like if you do trade 466 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 3: him to Seattle, they might give you. They might give 467 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 3: you like a player to be named later. It might 468 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 3: be that low if they're taking on the money. 469 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 2: So ownus pull money, baby, give me that bone international bonus, 470 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: pull money. 471 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 3: Something like that, and just say okay, because you're hoping 472 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 3: that you upgrade the spot. Because it's tricky, we've gotten 473 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 3: on foul territory. Plenty of trade ideas where people are 474 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 3: trying to include him in a deal to a team 475 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 3: that's not a contender. I'm like, that makes a zero sense. 476 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 3: They would never take that unless it's already a trade 477 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,239 Speaker 3: built for them to flip. Very complicated. But I do 478 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 3: think he needs to be replaced right now. I think 479 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 3: it's been too long and I don't think the Yankees 480 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 3: can afford to have that for the rest of the season. 481 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: Like it's it's been. Where are we at sixty two games? 482 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: I mean the sixty games left. 483 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: So switch it out. There are options, So that's a 484 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 3: good one. 485 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: What do you think it would take to get Lucas 486 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: ersa He's with the a's right, yeah, yeah, a's but 487 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: he yeah. 488 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 3: He's a hotshot reliever. There's a lot of time left, 489 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 3: you know, I mean in terms of years of control, 490 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: So the A's are going to try to work you 491 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 3: more than say the Marlins would for a Tanner Scott. 492 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 3: So I'd rather get a Scott because it's not going 493 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: to cost as much. If you're the Yankees, I'm not 494 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 3: as concerned about the long term relievers right now, So 495 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: I would rather get a guy that's a rental. That's 496 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,959 Speaker 3: generally where I'm looking right now. If I'm the Yankees, 497 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 3: let me get a reliever that's got one, maybe two 498 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 3: years of control left, and I'm including this season. So 499 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: erseg from what I remember, I mean, he basically just 500 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: got scooped, so he's probably got four or five years 501 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 3: of control. So I just don't think it's the right 502 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 3: person for the Yanks. 503 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 2: What about Jesse Winker. We got a comment about him. 504 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 2: I liked him a few years ago, but I haven't 505 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: seen what he's done much this year. 506 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 3: We look him up, but where's he going? 507 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: Right? 508 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 3: He's not a good defender, You're not clogging up the 509 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 3: d H spot. Yankees care a lot about run prevention. 510 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: Where's he going? 511 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 2: So he's listening to the left field er. Does he 512 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 2: not play left for? 513 00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 3: Is he not going he plays somebody's Yeah, he's not 514 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: good defender. 515 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: In left field the Yankee Stadium. You really got to 516 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 2: be like a center fielder level skill too, you know. 517 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: And you know, I will say this for Vodugo. He's 518 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 2: played a very good left field, but you know, the 519 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: hitting is has just been miserble. He did have a 520 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 2: nice opposite field dish kind of hit to the left 521 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: of second base today. Maybe that gets him going when 522 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 2: he's at his best, he's doing that. But I don't 523 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 2: rule out the possibility of getting a new outfielder because 524 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: we're just not getting production out there from him. 525 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want someone that can pick it. Like well, 526 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: you know, Winkers had a great bounce back year. He's 527 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 3: been like a three war player or something like that. 528 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: I think the defensive metrics are playing a little better 529 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 3: than they did in the past, but I'm not buying 530 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: that that's I don't think that's the right fit for them. 531 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 3: It's great, but Okay, when when g comes back, how 532 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 3: does this all look? 533 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Gee's probably going to be back you know, 534 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 2: tomorrow the next day. That puts judge back out in 535 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: center field. That forces Grisham to the bench. I wonder 536 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 2: if they would move Grisham. I wonder if there's any 537 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: I know he's not hitting, but if somebody needs an 538 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: outfielder who can catch the baseball, he's pretty good in 539 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 2: center field. 540 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 3: It's expensive too, though. It's the same thing. Like I 541 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: mean in base it. 542 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 2: Was five million, and they owe him, like what a 543 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 2: million the rest of the way. That can't be too bad, 544 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 2: right it. 545 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 3: A million bucks? I mean, hey, ty France is a 546 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 3: good hitter. Okay, he's had struggles this year and the 547 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: Mariners just placed him on waivers. Anybody can take him 548 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 3: right now, just like Kevin Kiermyer a month ago, who 549 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: was not hitting a lick, but he's still a top 550 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: three center fielder in baseball. No team is touching a 551 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 3: player like that, like Ty France is probably the same 552 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 3: amount as Trent Grisham, and I'm like, why isn't anyone 553 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: picking him up? You know who should pick him up? 554 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: The Houston Astros have a little bit of a need 555 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 3: at first base, and I'm like, how much of a 556 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 3: kick in the ass to your rival would it be 557 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 3: if you pick up Ty France and he starts popping 558 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 3: homers over the Crawford boxes. But that's why I'm looking 559 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: at I'm like, how is this dude not getting picked up? 560 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 3: He is. He's definitely underperformed, but he's close to a 561 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 3: league average hitter. He hasn't been terrible. No one's hitting 562 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: in Seattle right now. I would definitely take a flyer 563 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: on him. That's my problem is the league has gotten 564 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 3: so ticky tacky with every fricking little move, Like unless 565 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: the dude's thriving, they go nad, don't scoop him up. 566 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: We'll try and get the team to eat half the 567 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: money and then we'll call for a trade. So maybe 568 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: I'm being too pessimistic about some of this, and I 569 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 3: think the Yankees are definitely gonna make at least two 570 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: moves to show up at least at least an infielder, 571 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,719 Speaker 3: and I would say at least a pitcher, probably a reliever. 572 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna get a starter, maybe 573 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 3: depth in case of injury, but there's not a lot 574 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 3: of top end starters, so I don't think that's gonna 575 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: be the priority. I think they're going to rely on 576 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 3: the big boys to ride them through like Rondan staying 577 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 3: healthy and obviously col being coal, you know, and Stroman 578 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: bouncing back a little bit because he hasn't been as 579 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 3: good right over the past. I mean he started hot, 580 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 3: but everybody fell off in the rotation to an extent. 581 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 2: I feel like in the summertime, every pitcher kind of 582 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 2: falls off a little bit with the heat. You know, 583 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: the ball starts traveling a little bit better. I'd have 584 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: plenty of confidence with Stroman and the way he moves 585 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: the baseball in that cold October air. I think between 586 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 2: Garrett Cole, Carlos Rodin, you know, Stroman, Louis Heel and 587 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: hopefully Clark Schmidt coming back soon, and Nest Cortez, I 588 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: think you can make a playoff rotation where you get 589 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: the innings you need out of rotation. I mean we saw, 590 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: you know, guys, we saw openers in Game four of 591 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: the World Series last year. Yankees can do better than 592 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 2: that with what they have right now. So, like you said, Bullpen, 593 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 2: I'm not comfortable with Clay Holmes at the back end 594 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 2: of the game. I think he's a middle relief guy. 595 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: To me, he's the perfect like Ramiro Mendoza type. Think 596 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: it's the fifth inning ground ball double play that you need, 597 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 2: you know, But I've never liked him in high leverage 598 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 2: situations because he walks guys and that just drives me nuts. 599 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 2: And then you know, one more bat. Still, I still 600 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: think a third baseman, really, maybe a second basement. Just 601 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: just give us one more better than average bat contact wise, 602 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: with a little bit of pop, and I think this 603 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 2: team instantly becomes a lot better. 604 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, the rotation can win a World Series, that's the point, right, 605 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: So there has to be other parts a dress. You 606 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: need a little more lineup depth. So that's like where 607 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 3: you mentioned you replace hopefully a guy like Labor. And 608 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: then on the releif pitching end, I mean, I'll bring 609 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: up another name that came to mind who can close 610 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: things down in the ninth inning. He's really been great. 611 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 3: Kyle finninggen not talked about a lot on the Washington 612 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: National side. He's one of the better closers in baseball. 613 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 3: That's a guy that I would look into as well, 614 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 3: that I think could handle things in the ninth inning 615 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 3: for the Yanks. There's a couple other names to keep 616 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: in mind, but if you're looking for a closer that's 617 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: not usually easy to find. There's probably going to be 618 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 3: three names available on the market that Yankee fans would 619 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 3: feel comfortable saying. He's better than Holmes. I trust him 620 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 3: more than Holmes. 621 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 2: Kratz told me it would never happen because there was 622 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 2: kind of like a little fallout between the Yankees and 623 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 2: his player. But David Robertson, if the Rangers decide to sell, 624 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 2: David Robertson is somebody that I would feel very comfortable with, 625 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 2: even Chad Green if the Blue Jays choose to sell. 626 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 2: Those are two guys, and those are Brian Cashman moves. Right, 627 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: Let's bring in some nostalgic people that will excite the 628 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 2: fan base that are not going to cost a lot, 629 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: that are both over the hill kind of but might 630 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: you might be able to squeeze three months out of them? Right? 631 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: That seem like Cashman moves. 632 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 3: I have more for you that I think would fit 633 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 3: really well here. Carlos as Stevez has been one of 634 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 3: the better closers in baseball in the first half of 635 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: the season. He's the closer for the Angels. You might 636 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 3: not have seen Hi much this year because the Angels 637 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: haven't been relevant basically since the season started. But he's 638 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: also really good, big, imposing, not really scared of anything, 639 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: usually says what's on his mind. I feel like he 640 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 3: would fit well in this kind of mix and really 641 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: thrive in an environment like this. He goes from. I 642 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: think he's only been on the Rockies and the Angels 643 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: his entire career. He's never done this, But I think 644 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 3: he would actually rise to this. You know what I'm saying. 645 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 3: Some guys aren't made for this moment. I think he'd 646 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 3: actually thrive in this scenario. So that's one, and then 647 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 3: one more. If the Rangers fall off Kirby Yates, that's another. 648 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: I'm just looking at some of the guys. These are 649 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: the guys I'm talking about that are all going to 650 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: be free agents after this season. 651 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 2: Was with you? 652 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: That's right, great splitter, Those are the kind of guys 653 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 3: Yanks fans should be thinking about right now. Don't worry 654 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 3: about having a guy for three four years of control. 655 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 3: Most relievers their arms fall off anyway. Get the closer 656 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 3: that's going to be a free agent, that's pitching for 657 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: a ton of money, who's going to shove in playoff games? 658 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 2: Question here before I let Scott go, because I already 659 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 2: kept him longer than I said I wouldn't. I know, 660 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: he's got to get to these you know, vegan cookies 661 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 2: or whatever. But so I this movie Isaiah Kiner Filefa 662 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 2: hitting two ninety two playing great third base for the 663 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: uh Blue Jays. Could we bring him back? What do 664 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: you think? I think that actually might be a nice fit. 665 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 2: That also seems like a cashman retread kind of move. 666 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 3: It's not bad. It's not a bad idea. I think 667 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays would be happy to do it again. 668 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 3: If we're going on the money route he's making. He's 669 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 3: on a two year I think sixteen million dollars. 670 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, fifteen, so he's making seven and a half per year. 671 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 672 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not a bad idea. And you can put 673 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 3: him anywhere, and you know that the defense is going 674 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 3: to be slick too. I don't know. For me, I 675 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 3: still want a little more pop probably, Yeah, it doesn't exactly. 676 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: We'll give you more pop. 677 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, jazz be good. I mean I like IKF. I 678 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: always liked his hustle. He's a good defensive third baseman, 679 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: but he doesn't like I'm not getting aroused by the 680 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 2: thought of IKF, like you know what I mean? 681 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 3: Like no, Yeah, I don't know. I'm I mean, I 682 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 3: do think the Yankees keep public perception in mind as well. 683 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 3: And yeah, while he'd be received okay, I think you'd 684 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: still have to add someone else for me to really 685 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 3: feel good about it. Like the Yankees and the Dodgers 686 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 3: have a similar issue. It's not the same exact positions, 687 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 3: but the Dodgers are doing some shopping right now because surprisingly, 688 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 3: with all they did in the offseason, the bottom of 689 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: their lineup is just not that intimidating and when you 690 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: get to the playoffs, you really feel that compared to say, 691 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 3: the Rangers who won last year, had everyone clicking and 692 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 3: one through nine you were like, damn, like, who's this 693 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 3: Evan Carter guy? You know, it got out of control 694 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: where just there was no weak spots in the lineup. 695 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 3: And I know that a lot of people feel that 696 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 3: right now. And when you're a Yankee fan you're watching 697 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 3: them play. I know Luis Savorino was half kidding, but 698 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't have two guys that are hitting, 699 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: you know, above average in Major League Baseball, way way 700 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 3: above average and feel like you're gonna be good heading 701 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: into the playoffs, Like it's that's not what you want, 702 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 3: so yeah, I would. I would say you're gonna see 703 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 3: some significant moves being made in the Yankees' value pops, 704 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 3: so they're gonna look for a guy that has you know, 705 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 3: twenty five Homer Pop. 706 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: Yeah.
