1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: All right, that's it the field. It is Saturday, April nineteen,

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: and it was game three of a four game set

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: between the Yankees and the Rays from Steinbrenner Field and Tampa.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Yankees were trying to make it six wins in a row,

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: but they faced an uphill battle against Shane boz. My recap,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: your reaction's coming up next. This is pinstripe territory. I

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: just wanted to pull a kol Wow. Well, I think

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: it's fair to say that Yankees fans are getting fed

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: up with Devin Williams, who had another meltdown today and

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: flushed the Yankees winning streak four run lead entering the

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: bottom of the ninth and he could not hold it.

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: And you really have to start thinking about now whether

13
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a good fit for New York. I know it's early,

14
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I get that, but I'm not the only one who

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: notices this. We had some calls about it. His body

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: language is trash. Hey, d great show. Uh this guy

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: Williams just seems uninterested. His body language. It uh just

18
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: rubs me the wrong way blowing this. He doesn't seem

19
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: to give a damn. He doesn't seem to give a

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: goddamn damn, yeah, right, that's it. Yeah. I I could

21
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: tell when Oswaldo made that error that Williams at that

22
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: point lost all confidence. It's like he's got a very

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: similar thing about him as Rodan, where if something goes wrong,

24
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna implode. Very very tough game. This was a long,

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: grueling game, a lot of pitches out of the strike zone.

26
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Yankees defense was good at times, but a big error

27
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: in a big spot. You know, Trent Grisham had a

28
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: good day, not only the home run, but he made

29
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: an outstanding catch to save some runs. Ben Rice got

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: hit by two pitches. He had to go for X rays.

31
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: They were negative. After the game. On Wednesday night, I

32
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: previewed this series and I told you guys that today

33
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: was the day I was most worried about. But it

34
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: was the starting pitching that worried me because Shane Boz

35
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: is a hell of a pitcher. Even after today where

36
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: he gave up five runs, he got a three point

37
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: two two ERA, it was even lower coming into this game.

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: And Carrasco, I mean, you know, he helped pitch a

39
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: nice game once in a while, but he is not

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: a good pitcher. He's over the hill. He's old. He's

41
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: got a six point five to three so far. And

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: so the Yankees were going to be facing an uphill battle,

43
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: and luckily they got out to a nice lead. They

44
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: led what was it six to one, I don't know,

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: six to four. At one point they led four to one.

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: They blew that, and then they led six to four,

47
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: and then they led eight to four, and they blew

48
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: that and ultimately lost ten to eight. Just looking at

49
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the box score, here just a miserable, brutal loss for

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: the Yankees. This one is going to sting. Let's go.

51
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: Let's get it going twenty one games. In twenty one

52
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: games and two Goofball says, he only made one or

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: two mistakes. That's a that's a good, good comment. TJ.

54
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: Nolan says, is WoT be ever going to hit the

55
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: fastball again? He looks bad. I was saying to my

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: buddy today, he needs to go to a lighter bat.

57
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, he looks like he's having a

58
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: tough time getting the bat around on the fastball. You know,

59
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: this is a guy who last year he had a

60
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: big hit against Class A on like one hundred mile

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: an hour pitch. He's not catching up to it this year.

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: Just absolutely brutal day for the Yankees. Now, they did

63
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: get a couple of runs in the first inning, Rice

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: got plunk, Judge had a soft single, terrific nine pitch

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: at bat from Austin Wells had an infield single, and

66
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: then Caballeros. Caballero just one of the most unbelievable plays

67
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I've ever seen from a shortstop, knock down a rocket

68
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: from Goldie flipped the ball between his legs out of

69
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: necessity and efficiency, and they were able to turn two.

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: You got Sometimes you gotta tip your hat. I mean,

71
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: that was just a great play. Oswaldo did make a

72
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: nice play to end the bottom half. And I mean,

73
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the defense for the most part has been great in

74
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: the series. Cody Bellinger sliding the cutoff balls in the outfield,

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham running down everything, the perfect relay throws from

76
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: Grisham and Volpi. Yesterday, Wells threw some guys out, I mean,

77
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: Judge with the throw from right. But you know you

78
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: got to combine it with some decent pitching too. Second inning,

79
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham was handing out the free all expenses paid,

80
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: all inclusive, no reservations needed, five star Michelin certified mustache

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: rides his fifth home run of the season of just

82
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: a hell of a swing him. DJ says would have

83
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: preferred to have Rice or Domingus in the ninth. Well,

84
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: Rice was out of the game because he got hurt.

85
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? And Bellinger was hitting over

86
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Domingez And Bellinger's a season, Bellinger's an MVP. You can't

87
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: complain about that. I'm sorry. I appreciate the super chat,

88
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: but we're grasping at straws here. Bottom line is Yankees

89
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: led by four runs going into the bottom of the ninth.

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: They lost because of Devin fucking Williams. That's the problem.

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: They did threaten again in the third inning, second and

92
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: third with two outs for Volpi. He struck out. He

93
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: was up three to zero in the count, which makes

94
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: it especially painful to watch. He had a tough day.

95
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: Volpi was one for five with a couple of strikeouts.

96
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: He's hitting one ninety seven. Not good. We had a

97
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: great comment last night that I wish I had thought of,

98
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: where someone said they wanted Volpi to take Goldschmid's approach

99
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: at the plate. Do that and good things will happen.

100
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Contact hit him where they ain't situational hitting and hustle.

101
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if Volpi did that, he'd be one of

102
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: the best players in the league. I'm confident of that.

103
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: But you know, swinging out of his heels. Bat. Look

104
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the bat to me in Volpi's hand. Have you ever

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: seen those things in Scotland where they try and move

106
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: these gigantic like they're like tree trunk sized logs and

107
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: they try and like throw them. That's what it looks like.

108
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Volpe trying to swing and hit a fastball right now,

109
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: bat looks too big. Yankees loaded the bases again. In

110
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: the fourth inning, Rice got drilled for the second time

111
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: he had to lead the game. They said that it

112
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: was a contusion, nothing broken. He had X rays. I've

113
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: been hitting that exact same spot before. I got hit

114
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 1: there by about a ninety five mile hour fastball. One time,

115
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: this Venezuelan guy came up and in and I was

116
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 1: trying to get out of the way, and I stuck

117
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: my arm up and he got me right there and

118
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: my fist closed like it like it hits the nerve

119
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: so much that my fist became clenched and I couldn't

120
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: really open it and keep it open for hours, but

121
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: ultimately it was just a bruise and it felt fine

122
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: in a day or two, and hopefully that's where Rice is.

123
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: We had two run single for Judge down the right

124
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: field line to make it five to one, sackfly for

125
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: Wells to make it six to one. Another productive out

126
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: from the Yankees, again finding ways to score without a

127
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: ton of home runs. Good sign that they're playing strong

128
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: team baseball. But you have got to start pitching better.

129
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Carrasco gave up three runs back in the fourth and

130
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: then with him visibly running out of gas, the Yankee

131
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: sent him back out there for the fifth inning. Extremely

132
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: surprising decision, but shouldn't shock me coming from Aaron Boom

133
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: right there in front of us, and he immediately served

134
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: up a double over the head of Domingez. Domingez probably

135
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: should have caught it, but it was hit hard. Fantastic

136
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: play by Jazz Chisholm to snare a line drive that

137
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: probably would have scored a run through the ball away,

138
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: but no harm, no foul on that one. Terrific play

139
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: from Trent Grisham running down to play and running down

140
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: the ball on centerfield kind of into the gap that

141
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: saved a couple of runs. Really nice job out of

142
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: the today by Hamilton, Mark Lighter and Luke Weaver. And

143
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: then it all comes down to Devin Williams. And I'm

144
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: telling you, guys, the body language, the pitch selection, just

145
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: the way he deals with adversity. He stinks, he stinks.

146
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm over him, I'm done with devil. I you know,

147
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm not usually wanting to give up on guys that quick,

148
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: but I think you got to take him out of

149
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: the closer role before this becomes too big of a problems.

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: He's a guy who he basically cried to Brian Cashman

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: that he wasn't gonna play or wasn't going to pitch

152
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: if he didn't get to keep his beard. We know

153
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: that's what happened, and that's why things changed. He was

154
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: bitching about it. That screams to me a guy who

155
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: is super not confident and when things start to go wrong,

156
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: just he just melts down, melts down. We had another

157
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: RBI from Judge later in the game. You know, he's

158
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: on pace for one hundred and ninety three this year.

159
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable. Had the Hustle Infield single from Goldschmidt in

160
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: the ninth inning that made it eight to four. But

161
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: then you know Williams couldn't hold it. And then you know,

162
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: after a Grisham knock in the top of the tenth,

163
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: you thought, well, maybe the Yankees will put up a

164
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: crooked number here in the tenth, but they stink in

165
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: extra innings. They just always find a way to blow it.

166
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: They couldn't score, and then Devin Williams with the meltdown.

167
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: Alex says they have to demote Williams. Weaver is the stone, code, stone,

168
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: cold killer on the mound. I agree, you got to

169
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: have more mental toughness out there than Williams has. You

170
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 1: know that we're only a month into the season, not

171
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: even a month in the season. It's twenty four or

172
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: three weeks into the season. How many meltdowns has this

173
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: guy had? He's got a nine era as a closer.

174
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: You just can't put up with that. And you know

175
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: what's funny is this offseason we said, well, we're gonna

176
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: be x games better just because we're not gonna have

177
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: so many fricking meltdowns in the ninth inning. Well guess what,

178
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: baby meltdowns back on the menu. Let's talk about Carlos

179
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: Carrasco another beauty from him. First couple innings. I thought

180
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: he looked okay, change up was good, he was commanding

181
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: the ball. You thought maybe he's gonna put together another

182
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: good one. But the Rays wore him down. They were

183
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: taking pitches, they were fouling off his best stuff, because

184
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: his best stuff isn't that good anymore. It's not swinging

185
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: miss stuff. He only had two whiffs today out of

186
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: seventy five pitches. He only threw thirty eight strikes. That's

187
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: barely over fifty percent. Rays got one run in the third,

188
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: and then they got three more in the fourth, and

189
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: I was honestly just shocked that they left him in

190
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: there for the fifth inning. Now, the Rays didn't end

191
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: up scoring, but why even try. I mean, I get

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: that the bullpen's a little bit overworked, okay, and he

193
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: was only at seventy some odd pitches, but he was

194
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: visibly beat in the fourth inning. Era on the season

195
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: now six point five to three. So we're gonna take

196
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: a look real quick at some minor league options because

197
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't look like a trade is coming. Ben Hess

198
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: off to a really good start in High A nine

199
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: to two thirds innings, eighteen strikeouts, no runs. Tough to

200
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: pitch much better than that. Tough to pitch much better

201
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: than that. I read an article the other day it

202
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: said he's way ahead of schedule. If I'm the Yankees,

203
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: his next start would be in Double A. And people

204
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: keep texting me during the show about the Yankees. It's like,

205
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: do you not see that I'm on this show? Do

206
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: you not realize that I'm on the show. Immediately I

207
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: got to turn on do not Disturb? But I always

208
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: forget to do it. But Bryce Cunningham, he got a

209
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: little bit roughed up in his second outing eleven innings,

210
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: thirteen strikeouts, but a five point seven three ERA, still

211
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: good stuff. Cam Schlittler off to a good start in

212
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: Double A. He's had three appearances, fifteen innings, three runs,

213
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: It's a one point eight zero ERA and a one whip.

214
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: Zach Messenger at Triple A has made three starts. He's

215
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: got a four point six three ERA, eleven and two

216
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: thirds innings, nine strikeouts, so you'd like see him turn

217
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: it up a little bit. And then Eric Reiselman, a

218
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: relief pitcher, five games in relief two point seven zero

219
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: ERA six and two thirds innings and ten strikeouts. So

220
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: not a starting pitcher. He is a relief pitcher. I

221
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: included him because we're gonna need some arms after this,

222
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: so let's take a look at the hitters. So George

223
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: Lombard Junior off to a really good start at high

224
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: A thirteen for thirty nine that is a three thirty

225
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: three average, got one home run, He's got seven stolen

226
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: bases and a nine eighty seven OPS. If he keeps

227
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: this up for another few weeks, he's gonna be in

228
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: Double A. He's gonna be in Double A. And then

229
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones he had a big week with the power,

230
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: but he's still twelve for forty seven that's two fifty five.

231
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: Does have five home runs, so almost half of his

232
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: hits have gone for the distance, go the distance. Ten

233
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: RBIs and seventeen strikeouts so far. Roderick Arius off to

234
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: a slow start eight for forty eight that's a one

235
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: to sixty seven average. Does have a three twenty two

236
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: on base percentage because he does draw walks, five stolen

237
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: bases and ever since. Pereira off to a decent start

238
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: in triple A two sixty eight average but three home runs,

239
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: eleven RBIs seven to ninety ohps. So you hope that

240
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: maybe one or two of these guys makes it. Right now,

241
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: it's looking like George Lombard Junior is the real deal

242
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: and you don't want to deal him. All right, We're

243
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick word from our sponsor, Harry's, and

244
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: then we'll be back with kind of an extended audience

245
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: reaction section today because I can tell that you guys

246
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: are pretty pretty hot under the collar. In sports, the

247
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: difference between winning and losing is often razor thin, and

248
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: it's great to have an edge, and that's what you

249
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: get with Harry's Razors, the sponsor for today's episode. You

250
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: might notice my beard is gone. I did that because

251
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to test out this razor that they say me.

252
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't like to pitch things unless I try them myself,

253
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: and I gotta say I am very impressed with Harry's razors.

254
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: It comes with five blades. These are German engineer there

255
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: extremely extremely sharp. I shaved two days ago and my

256
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: face still feels very smooth. I got the trial set.

257
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the weighted handle. It gives me like

258
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: a nice feeling of control over the razor. I don't

259
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: have to worry about cutting myself. Their trial set is

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: thirteen dollars, but using our exclusive link and code, you

261
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: can get it for just three dollars. Go to Harry's

262
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: dot com slash stripe and you can get this trial

263
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: set for three dollars instead of thirteen dollars Harry's dot

264
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: com slash stripe. All right, Franklin Lopez says the Yankees

265
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: since last year, can't bring in the Manfred Runner and

266
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: Michael Kay should stop protecting Williams. This dude ain't working out.

267
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: Appreciate the chat. Yeah, he's been awful. Wayne Wilcox wants

268
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: to trade Williams for a legit starter right now, you'd

269
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: be selling low. I mean, who's gonna trade for a

270
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: closer with a nine era And the last time he

271
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: pitched in the playoffs he blew the game, So he's

272
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: got to start pitching better. I mean, that's just bottom line.

273
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I agree with the people that are saying put Luke

274
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: Weaver in at the closer spot right now. I mean,

275
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Luke Weaver has that experience with the Yankees. He's done

276
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: a great job with it in the past. You can

277
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: use him for two winnings for the six out save.

278
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: If you need to, I say go for it. Jesse

279
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: says cardiac Clay has been replaced by woe ful Williams,

280
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: and what has this guy done to earn the closer role.

281
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: I think Weaver earned it last year. Now, obviously he's

282
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: been one of the best relief pitchers in baseball over

283
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: the last several years, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's

284
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna do it in New York. We've seen plenty of

285
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: guys with great stats elsewhere get to New York and

286
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: then go belly up. Francis Healy says, at least we

287
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: got tomorrow. Yankees will try and take three out of four.

288
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: I like their chances to take three out of four.

289
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: That was what we said could happen for this series.

290
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: But man, I was hoping for the sweep. Once we

291
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: were leading six to one. I was feeling good about it.

292
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: Eight to four and the ninth gotta feel good about that.

293
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: Meltdowns happen, and they're always painful. Books says, Are they

294
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna let Williams blow twelve saves until he figures it out?

295
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: They did that with Clay Holmes last year, and Kiku says,

296
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Williams is a loser. Weaver is the real closer. So

297
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: it seems like the consensus is building that Yankees fans

298
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: are just over this guy. I mean, he's just he's

299
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: not reliable. That's what you need out of a closer.

300
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: You need somebody who's reliable, who's got that killer instinct.

301
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't see it, and I think he's got a

302
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: similar problem to what we saw with Clay Holmes, which

303
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: is that he hits too many bats and he puts

304
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: too many runners on base again with a walk. Got

305
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: to have somebody who throws strikes. Weaver today an inning,

306
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: no walks, two strikeouts, zero ERA on the season, zero

307
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: point six y four whip. Williams this year nine ERA,

308
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: two point twenty five whip. He's allowing two and a

309
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: quarter base runners per inning. How does that even happen? Awful?

310
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: David Starr says william sucks period. That seems to be

311
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: the consensus. Barry the Choppers has trade Jones for Pablo Lopez.

312
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: You know, the Twins not off to the greatest start.

313
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: You know, you might as well look at the standings

314
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: real quick. It was a crazy day in baseball too.

315
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: Yankees still lead the American League East at thirteen and

316
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: eight through the first twenty one. Blue Jays hanging tough,

317
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: a game back, Red Sox game and a half back

318
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: they walked off today. Orioles nine and eleven and Raised

319
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: nine and twelve, Tigers thirteen and eight, and Rangers thirteen

320
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: and eight, three way tie for the best record in

321
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: the America League. Guardians hanging in there. Royals eight and fourteen.

322
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: They're off to a tough start, Twins seven and thirteen.

323
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Maybe they will deal Lopez White Sox four and sixteen.

324
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they have anybody worth trading for it

325
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: right now. So we go to the l or the

326
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: Al West Rangers, Angels actually off to a good start

327
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: ten and nine, Mariners eleven and ten, Astros nine and ten,

328
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: and Athletics nine and eleven. Mets off to a good

329
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: start they are fourteen and seven, Phillies thirteen and eight,

330
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: Marlins and Nationals both eight and twelve, Braves six and thirteen.

331
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: So we go to the NL Central Cubs up by

332
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: a game and a half over the Brewers at fourteen

333

Speaker 1: and nine. Brewers eleven and nine, so Cubs have played

Speaker 1: NL Best Pirates fifteen and five, Dodgers fifteen and seven.

338
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: They lost today. Ya'ma moto. I watched him the other night.

339
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: He looks unbelievable. And then the Rockies three and sixteen,

340
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Awful d Backs twelve to nine

00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: hanging in there. So you know, that's where we stand.

00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: So the Yankees at least still in first place and

343
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,240
