1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk at all.

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: How's it going everybody, Good morning, Good morning. I have

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: a feeling that there's a lot of hangovers in New

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: York today. The people who are happy and celebrating about

5
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: the Knicks, the people who are Yankees fans, and maybe

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: you know, partied a little bit hard after last night's game.

7
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: But we're doing a rare pregame show on a Saturday morning.

8
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 2: I typically don't do this because, and I remember now

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: why my neighbors like to cut cut their grass right

10
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: around this time without fail. As I'm starting a pregame

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: show or a morning voicemail show or whatever on a Saturday,

12
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: my neighbor decides to fire up the lawnmower. So if

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: the sound gets a little bit loud, that's why I

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: hope you can't hear it. I can't tell what you

15
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: guys can hear or whatever. But a pretty fun game

16
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: for the Yankees last night. The crowd was absolutely electric,

17
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: and we had a great night from Cody Bellinger, a

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: great night from Paul Goldschmidt, and a pretty good night

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: from Carlos Rodan. Yankees trying to get a little bit

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: more today out of Clark Schmidt and we'll go over

21
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: the lineup real quick because it has just come out,

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: and some interesting things of note here. So Ben Rice

23
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: back in there. He is at the leadoff spot. He

24
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: is your DH today. He got the night off last night.

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: I put him on the thumbnail for my postgame show.

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: I have a good feeling about Ben Rice today for

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 2: whatever reason. Maybe it's because I need a haircut and

28
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: I need a good reason to shave my head again.

29
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge batting second today. He is in right field.

30
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger batting third. After his nice game last night,

31
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: he is in centerfield. Paul Goldschmidt belt winner from last night,

32
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: he is at first base. We got the martian. Jason

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: Dominguez in left field. He had a couple of walks

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: last night. Hopefully he gets going with the hits today

35
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: because he's probably gonna have the day off tomorrow against

36
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: the lefty. Anthony Volpi is obviously at shortstop tonight. All right,

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: this afternoon, J c Ascara behind the dish. Austin Wells

38
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: getting the day off day game after a night game.

39
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: I saw a comment here from Cincy Tino who says

40
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: bonehead strikes again or boonhead No Wells or Grisham against

41
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: a righty. Well, it's not that uncommon for a catcher

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: to get the day game after a night game, and

43
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: you know, coming off of a long trip and stuff,

44
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: he's probably a little tired. I don't blame them for

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: going with the scar here. And Escara seems like one

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: of those guys who might come up big, but right,

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: doesn't he have that feeling of kind of like a

48
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: clutch player. I mean, he had the walk off sack

49
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: fly last week, but I don't know, he just got

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: He kind of has that like Ronald to energy, or

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: that Francisco Cervelli energy, or even that Oswaldo Cabrera energy

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: where you feel like you know, this guy could do

53
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: something good today. DJ lemayhew in there at second base today.

54
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: He picked up a knock.

55
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: In his first start back, he had an error. It

56
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: was not really his fault. He threw to a base

57
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: that was unoccupied. But as a as an infielder, you're

58
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 2: taught to just throw to the base. You can't worry

59
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: about whether or not the first basement is standing. There

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: has to be automatic that's on the first baseman to

61
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: do his job. So really it should have been Rice

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: making that play. But unfortunately, because the throw came from DJ,

63
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: he got charged with the error. I was a little

64
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: tough on him that day, just I was making a

65
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: joke like first came back, made an err or whatever.

66
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: But your with Vivas back in there at third base today.

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: He had a base knock last night. He continues to

68
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: look good with the bat in my opinion. I know

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: he hasn't put up huge stats yet, but I like

70
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: his swing and he looks He looks good to me.

71
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Another guy who's looking good is Cody Bellinger. Let's talk

72
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: about him. We've got a voicemail.

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: Hey, Derek just wanted to say that Cody Buinger has

74
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: really turned it around him playing really well lately. Yeah,

75
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: let's hope you keeep it up go here, all right?

76
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cody Bellinger last eleven games now hitting three p forty.

77
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: He's got sixteen hits in those eleven games, so it's

78
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: not a vitamin situation where it's one to day. He's

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: got a couple of multi hit games mixed in there.

80
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Two home runs, five RBIs and nine runs scored over

81
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: that sit Over that time frame, he's looking more comfortable.

82
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: And remember when the season began, he had a little

83
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: bit of stiffness in his back. Remember he had to

84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: be sat down right away. But spring training he looks great.

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: And I'm not even talking about his stats. No one

86
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: cares about your spring training stats. I'm talking about the

87
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: eye test. The swing was quick, it was powerful. He

88
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: looked great on the basis. He looked great in the

89
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: field and once again and he was looking like the

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 2: guy who won the MVP with the Dodgers. Probably not

91
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the same power as he had back then. That has

92
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: kind of dissipated since he had that surgery, and plus

93
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: ball was a little bit more juiced back then. But

94
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: I really felt like, you know, we were getting ready

95
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: to see a breakout, monster season from Cody Bellinger, who

96
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: was gonna be very comfortable being a Yankee. Obviously got

97
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: off to a slow start. He had the back soreness.

98
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: He's a guy that when you watch him swing, he

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: gets a lot of rotation in that swing. It's almost

100
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: like a golf swing. Okay, and it's like a I mean,

101
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: it's it's I don't even know it's it's like a

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: caveman swinging in a club.

103
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: Right.

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 3: He wraps that bat all the way around.

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 2: He really gets a lot of torque in that in

106
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: that back, and so when he has a little bit

107
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: of back soreness, it's probably not one of those things

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: that dissipates overnight or in just a couple of hours.

109
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: So it probably took him a little bit of time.

110
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: It probably threw off his routine. You know, he had

111
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: the food poisoning. Not to make it uses for the guy,

112
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: even though that's kind of what I'm doing, but I

113
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: feel like the first few weeks of the year he

114
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: was not the guy that we saw in spring training.

115
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: Like physically he looked different. He didn't he looked slowed down,

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: he looked less athletic. He did play well in center field,

117
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: and you know the times that he's played left field,

118
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: right field, he's made some great catches. He's ended a

119
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 2: couple of games with really fine catches. But I think

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: over the last two weeks now or so, we're starting

121
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 2: to see the bat heat up, which is huge, and

122
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: he has been a phenomenal base runner. Also, let's go

123
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: ahead and take a look at Cody Bellinger's stat cast numbers.

124
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: Right now, he is only hitting two forty two, but

125
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: just about a week and a half ago, he was

126
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: hitting one ninety eight. So he's raised his average, you know,

127
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: quite a bit. Five home runs, four stolen bases. You

128
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 2: see the fielding run value in the eighty third percentile.

129
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 2: I don't get the base running value how it says

130
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: it's in the twenty first percentile, because to me, he

131
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: has been phenomenal on the basis this is one of

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: those things where the eye test just is at loggerheads

133
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: with the metrics. His launch angle sweet spot has been phenomenal.

134
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: He's good at avoiding strikeouts. That's another thing that has

135
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: helped the Yankees this year. They've really cut down on

136
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: their strikeouts or the guys in their lineup that are

137
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: susceptible to lots and lots of strikeouts. Goldsmith doesn't strike

138
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: out as much, Bellinger doesn't strike out as much. Judge

139
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: obviously striking out way less these days, hitting over four hundred.

140
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: So you know, I feel like they're just making more

141
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: contact and that's going to lead to more runs in general.

142
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: And last night Yankees put up six runs without the

143
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: benefit of a home run. That's what you want to see.

144
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: You want to see this team able to score in

145
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: lots of different ways. So I'm feeling really good about

146
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: what we're seeing from Cody Bellinger. Now that brings me

147
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: to Plan B. I wanted to compare the war so

148
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: far of Jan Sota, who's being paid fifty one million

149
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: as his annual average value major league record as part

150
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: of his fifteen years, seven hundred and sixty five million

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: dollar deal. What the Yankees did is they they took

152
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: that money roughly what you know, twenty forty seven fifty

153
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: They took roughly that money. You know, Paul Goldschwit's making

154
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: twelve and a half million, Cody Bellinger's making twenty million,

155
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: Max Freed's making twenty seven point twenty five million. They

156
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: basically took that money that they had planned for Soto,

157
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: and they you know, put it towards three guys and

158
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: less of a long term commitment. It's more of they're

159
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: spending a little bit more this year on those three guys,

160
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: but the long term commitment is obviously way less than

161
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: seven hundred and sixty five million. Max Freed's getting two

162
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: hundred and eighteen million, highest paid left handed pitcher of

163
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: all time. But gold Schmidt has been a bargain. You know,

164
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: he's hitting three forty nine, he's got five home runs,

165
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 2: his on base percentage is almost at four hundred. He's

166
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: got a one point three war Cody Bellinger for his

167
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: twenty million this year. Off to a slow start, but

168
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: coming around. As we said, he's got positive worn outs,

169
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: zero point five, two forty two average, five home runs,

170
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: three oh eight on on base percentage. I expect the

171
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: average and the on base percentage to both climb rapidly

172
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: over the next several weeks. And Max Freed obviously is

173
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: pitching like a superstar. He's pitching like a cy young

174
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: winner right now. Six and zero and a two point

175
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: two war this year for a grand total.

176
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: Of four war for the Yankees. Plan B.

177
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: Now, I don't consider Devin Williams a part of Plan B.

178
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't consider Jason di Mingez part of Plan B.

179
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: To me, he's replacing Alex Ferdugo. Devin Williams is replacing

180
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: Nestor Cortez because their salaries were roughly comparable and it

181
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: was just a one up for one up trade. They

182
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: might have made that trade regardless of whether or not

183
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: Sodo resigns. But to me, if the Yankees signed Juan Soto,

184
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: they would not have signed Max Free full stop, and

185
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: which means we would be you know, up shit Creek

186
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: without a paddle. Given what happened to Garrett Cole and

187
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: Luis Heal Cody Bellinger, they wouldn't have gotten right. They

188
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: would have just played judge in center field again, and

189
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt would probably be named Ben Rice. That would

190
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: be your first basement. Now, Ben Rice obviously having a

191
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: great year. But I don't think anybody would argue that

192
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt has been anything less than fantastic.

193
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he has been a huge, huge.

194
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: Signing for this team. And you know, I just I

195
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: can't say enough. I was wrong on him. You know,

196
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: he was somebody that I dismissed because he was thirty seven.

197
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: I didn't think the Yankees would go in that direction.

198
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 2: I thought they would go with Rice, or I thought

199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: they would, you know, maybe go out and get Christian Walker.

200
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: Christian Walker has not had a good year. I'm gonna

201
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: pull up Christian Walker's numbers. Obviously he signed with Houston,

202
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 2: and nobody's given Brian Cashman the credit he deserves for

203
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 2: choosing gold Schmidt over Walker. You know, gold Schmith hitting

204
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: two ten with five home runs right now and a

205
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: two point eighty three on base percentage. The batting run

206
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: values down. The base running value is above average, fielding

207
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: run value slightly above average. He still hits the ball hard,

208
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: still got good bat speed, but a lot of things

209
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: are just really down. Now, let's go ahead and take

210
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 2: a look at Paul Goldschmidt, who is playing basically like

211
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: his twenty twenty two MVP self. I mean, look how

212
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: much that is better than the USSR man Batting run

213
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: value in the ninety third percent aisle expected batting average

214
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 2: in the ninety second percentile. The sweet spot is fantastic.

215
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: Fifth percentage, strikeout percentage, squaring the ball up a ton.

216
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: Bat speed has been terrific. I mean, he's just been phenomenal,

217
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: phenomenal for the Yankees so far. All right, let's take

218
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 2: a look at today's pitching matchup. We've got Griffin Canning

219
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: for the Mets, who is five and one with a

220
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 2: two point three six ERA versus Clark Schmitt Clark Schmitt

221
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: one four point seventy three. We've got their stat cast

222
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: rankings matched up, and let me know what you guys

223
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: think of this format. I'm always trying to tweak things

224
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, but we're trying to build out

225
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: a post game or a pregame show that can be

226
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: more repeatable, so we can do it more often, pretty

227
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 2: much every day. I want to start doing it as we,

228
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, get further on into the season. And I

229
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: thought this would be a great way to compare. You know,

230
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: how these guys line up in stat cast. I mean, honestly,

231
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Clark Schmidt looks a little better to me. I think

232
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 2: I'd rather have his stuff, right. I mean, you look

233
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: at the pitching run value and the breaking run value

234
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: for Canning.

235
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: They're really good.

236
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: The off speed run values obviously much better than Clark Schmidt.

237
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: But Schmidt, you know, keeps the batting average lower, he

238
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: gets more swings and misses, and you know, he allows

239
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: guys to hit the ball less hard, which is the

240
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: name of the game soft contact. Right now, Griffin Cannon

241
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: keeps the ball on the ground, so I wouldn't expect

242
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: a ton of home runs. I wouldn't expect the Yankees

243
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: to put five balls in the seats. But with as

244
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: hard as the guys hit the ball, I mean, especially Judge,

245
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 2: you know, Goldschmidt, you know Dominguez, they might be able

246
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: to sneak some balls through and get some some bass

247
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: hits just by hitting it hard and hoping that the

248
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: you know, the ball finds a hole. So that's the

249
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: pitching matchup today right now. I would say that history

250
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: is showing that Clerk Schmidt has been the better pitcher

251
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: in his career, but Griffin Canning obviously off to a

252
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: better start this year. So that's where we're at. We're

253
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: gonna get to our predictions here. Go ahead and drop

254
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: your predictions in the chat, and here is mine.

255
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 4: This was I wish it recent.

256
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 2: All right, So I am going two plus hits for

257
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 2: Anthony Bolpy. We've actually got three predictions today.

258
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: I'm cheating a little bit.

259
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: Two plus hits for Anthony Bolby. Obviously didn't have a

260
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: great night last night, but I like the way his

261
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: swing has been shaped. I know that sounds weird. I

262
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: feel like it's leveled out more and again a guy

263
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: who you know gives up ground balls or whatever. I

264
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: feel like the more level swing is gonna lead to

265
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: some ground balls with eyes. I feel like he's gonna

266
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: sneak a couple of base hits through the infield today.

267
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: So I'm calling two plus hits for Anthony Bolpi. I

268
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 2: think Ben Rice is gonna catch a hangar. He's so

269
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: good at laying off of pitches below the zone that

270
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: I think he's he's gonna make Cannon get the ball up,

271
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna be looking for it. I

272
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: think he's gonna put one in the seats, and Juan

273
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: Soto he would hit.

274
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: Listen.

275
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: Last night he was zero for two with three walks,

276
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: and you know what, call me crazy, even against the

277
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: right handed pitcher Clark Schmidt. I think that he's going

278
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: hitless again. I think that he's gonna get booed again.

279
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 2: And I'm predicting a hitless game for Juan Soto. So

280
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 2: someone's asking that we pull up Brett Batty on Baseball Samant,

281
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: Why not, let's do it.

282
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: I'm a man of the people. Now.

283
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't qualify in a lot of areas, but batspeed

284
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: is tremendous. Two thirty average, five home runs in seventy

285
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: eight played appearances. The barrel percentage is great, the expected

286
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: slugging percentage is great.

287
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: So he's he's doing a really nice job.

288
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: They already have Viento's at third base, though, so I

289
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: wonder if you know is he is he gonna be

290
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: playing more second base? I mean, I'm not really familiar

291
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 2: with what their plans are with Beata.

292
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: I know he hasn't played a lot, but anyway.

293
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: Dante Lozadasis predictions Volpi and Judge one and a half

294
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: hits belly and Rice with homers will take that no

295
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: stra Dante Pennsylvania Transparency Projects.

296
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 3: Does anyone think Goldie.

297
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: Will come back next year or do you think the

298
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: Yankees transition Rice to be the starting first basement. I

299
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 2: think they probably transition Rice to be the starting first baseman.

300
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: But I mean, if if Goldsman.

301
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: Hits three point thirty three forty with twenty five home

302
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: runs and drives in one hundred runs, it's gonna be

303
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: tough to not bring him back, but it will raise

304
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: his price. But even as a at age thirty eight,

305
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: I'd imagine he's gonna be a bargain. While Ead i'm

306
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: ed says Martian Home Yankees win five to three, I'll

307
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: sign up for both of those right now. So Joanne says,

308
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: they put Brett Bady in against Righty's and not lefty,

309
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: so he's platooning, So that makes sense.

310
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: That makes sense. I don't.

311
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: I don't get a chance to watch a lot of

312
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: met games, so I'm kind of unfamiliar with how their

313
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: nuances of their lineups shake out.

314
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 3: Quick word from our sponsor, then back.

315
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: We have three more voicemails and we'll get some final

316
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: comments before the In baseball, as in life, it's all

317
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: about having that extra edge, that little extra half second

318
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: of a swing, the late break on a slider, or

319
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: the grit to outlast your opponent on a hot afternoon.

320
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: Same goes for shaving. Harry's gives you the edge where

321
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: it counts. I tried the five dollars trial set, and honestly,

322
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: it's like the ace of my bathroom rotation. The handles

323
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: weighted just right, the razor is smooth, and the foaming

324
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: shave gel lathers better than anything I have used before.

325
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: I keep my beard tight around the jaw, clean edges,

326
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: no irritation.

327
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: Harry's handles it with ease.

328
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: Even the packaging is big league, and their body wash,

329
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: I've got the redwood scent. It's like a fresh cut

330
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: field on opening day. Get the edge on your shave

331
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: with Harry's razors. Normally their trial set is ten dollars,

332
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: but right now you can get it for just five

333
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: dollars at Harry's dot com slash stripe. That's Harry's dot

334
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 2: com slash stripe for a five dollar trial set. All right,

335
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: we got some more predictions coming in. JD says Piazo

336
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: wakes up two hits today, gonna be difficult because he's

337
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: not in the starting lineup. So if that happens, something

338
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: has gone wrong or you know, he's coming late in

339
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 2: the game for whatever reason and still got a couple

340
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: of it bats, So that's gonna be a tough one.

341
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: Here's Robert.

342
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, there's nothing only beating the Munds on a

343
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 1: Friday night, first game of the series, setting up the sweep.

344
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 3: Everybody's worried about tomorrow's game.

345
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm not channing, ain't pitching against the no National league game.

346
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: We're going to kick his ass. How about that Soto?

347
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: What a wonderful player. Eight home runs in twenty RBIs

348
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: and forty five games. Wow, what a gamer, greedy bastard.

349
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 3: Oh Robert, we love you man. Yeah, you are a card.

350
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: Look, I'm not gonna get on one Soto too much.

351
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: I just uh, I hope he goes hit list today

352
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: and tomorrow. I hope he goes over the series. In

353
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: the Yankee sweep. Nothing in the world would make me

354
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: happier than that. All Right, we got mb here Colin.

355
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 5: In California's a game. It's a quarter to seven out

356
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 5: here in California, and I'm rewatching the game, and I'm

357
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 5: watching for my thing, which is the emotions.

358
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 4: And I'm watching Soto when.

359
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 5: He got out there to the Bleacher fans, and there's

360
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 5: no way that he he pretended, but there's no way

361
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 5: that it wasn't good to him last night. I think today,

362
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 5: even though I think it's going to be the same

363
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 5: intensity with the fans, because the New York fans all

364
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 5: the greatest, I feel like we started it all the

365
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 5: Bleacher bumbs. No one els has that there's no place

366
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 5: like New York.

367
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call NB. I one hundred percent agree with you,

368
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 3: no place like New York.

369
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Steve Fontaine says, Derek, I know you

370
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: live in North Carolina. Now, how did you keep your

371
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: New York City accent? First of all, I never lived

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: in New York City. I lived in Poughkeepsie, so my

373
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: dad has a thick ish New York accent, although it's

374
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: gotten more southernified since we've moved down here.

375
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 3: My mom has kind of a.

376
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: Neutral accent, and I mostly watch New York stuff, Like

377
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: I watched New York News, I watched New York television,

378
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: the Yankees coverage, and I listened to New York radio.

379
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: And in general, I avoid Southerners. I tend to avoid Southers,

380
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: so it's easy to maintain in the sound when actually

381
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: my voice really sounds like this, it's all in an act.

382
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, this is this was my real voice.

383
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 2: I sounded like lynnon Johnson.

384
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 6: Oh hi, Derek, this is you from bay Ridge in Brooklyn.

385
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 6: And two things annoyed me about a very good win

386
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 6: last night, and that was Boom laughing it up with

387
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 6: Soto before the game. Tough and up Boom.

388
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna cut you off right there. I want

389
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 2: to talk about that because you know, the way I

390
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: think about it is you can be friends off the field,

391
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: but once the game starts, I like, I wouldn't want

392
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 2: them yucking it up. But before the game, I mean,

393
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: these are guys that like went to Battle together, they

394
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: went to the World Series together. You know, let's say

395
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: that you work for I don't know I know these

396
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: I know Circuit City doesn't exist anymore. But let's say

397
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: you work for Circuit City, right, and then you leave

398
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 2: and you go work for Best Buy, right, and then

399
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: you you happen to see your boss from Circuit City

400
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: at an event, right? Are you really gonna be a

401
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: few were competitors. Now you know you're gonna be like, hey,

402
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, let's let's let's laugh, let's have a good time.

403
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: Whatever. You're gonna be friendly. That's what human beings do.

404
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: Most people are not antagonistic by nature, in my experience,

405
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: especially not Aaron Boom and Wan So doesn't seem like

406
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 2: that either. Listen, it was a business decision. He wanted

407
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: to get paid. He got offered seven hundred and sixty

408
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: million dollars, seven and sixty five million dollars. Whatever it is,

409
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't blame him. It is what it is, all right,

410
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I will see you guys after the game.

00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,800

00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,200
