1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Want to pull a catch old. 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: How's he going everybody? I think the commenter in our chat, Oh, 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 2: Timothy said it best, says it better than I could say. 4 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 2: What an absolute disgrace. You're one hundred percent right. The 5 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: Yankees offense the last two nights has been terrible. I 6 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: try and keep things positive even when things are not pretty. 7 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to put a lipstick or it's 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: just hard to put lipstick on this pig. Though, the 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 2: last couple of nights, the Yankees offense has been terrible. 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 2: Last night one run, today, no runs. Aaron Judge had 11 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 2: another terrible game, bounced into a huge double play in 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 2: the eighth inning as the tying run. Jazz Chisholm horrible 13 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: swings all night long, just after a good night where 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: you know, I thought he swung the bat well last night, 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: just chasing everything tonight four strikeouts. He generated enough win 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: tonight to power in New York City. I've seen a 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: lot more people calling for James Rowson to be fired 18 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: over the past couple of days. James Rawson is the 19 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: Yankees hitting coach. Here's the thing, though, firing the hitting 20 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: coach will not solve the Yankees' problems. If you have 21 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: a weed growing in your yard, you mow it, it 22 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 2: grows back. You got to pull it out by its roots. 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: And the Yankees have already tried to mow this weed. 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: They have fired Marcus Tims, Dylan Lawson, Sean Casey was 25 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: there for a little bit and he's gone, and James Rowson. 26 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: Same results, different messager, same message bouncing off the wall, 27 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: and that messages swing for the fences, win with home runs. 28 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: You know, I look at teams like the Rays that 29 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: now lead the division by four and a half games, 30 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: and I see them hitting line drives, battling, and I think, 31 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 2: why can't the Yankees do that? Do that? Why can't 32 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 2: they have some guys like that? So at some point, 33 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: it's not the guy handing out the scouting report or 34 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: holding the iPad, it's the organization's problems with their philosophy, 35 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: because when you run into good pitching, this swing for 36 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: the fence's stuff just has no chance. And it's so 37 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: common when the Yankees lose for it to feel exactly 38 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: the same, like almost every loss feels the same. Actually, 39 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: there's two ways the Yankees lose. Either their offense goes 40 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: completely silent, or their bullpen caves in. They better get 41 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: it figured out. They're gonna see good pitching in October 42 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: if they make it. But now four and a half 43 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: games back, just nine games over five hundred and June, 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: lurking right around the corner, not good, not good, and 45 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 2: just watching the Yankee strikeout fourteen times tonight was an absolute, 46 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: absolute nightmare. I want to get to the breakdown. I'll 47 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 2: get to that in just a second. Just a few 48 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: nitty gritties here. Ryan McMahon has been driving the ball 49 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: pretty well to left field. Almost all of his damage 50 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: has been to left field. He hit one off the 51 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: wall tonight. Thought he swung the bat pretty well. Spencer 52 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: Jones was in the lineup today with Trent Grisham out 53 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: with his knee problem. Doesn't sound like Grisham's gonna be 54 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: out very long, but we're gonna see Spencer Jones for 55 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: a few days. I thought he had some good swings tonight. 56 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: I thought he had some good takes tonight. Drove one 57 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: well to the opposite field in the seventh, but it 58 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: got caught. He also had an RBI single. Listen, he's 59 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: not ready for the major leagues. You know, he's got 60 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: some work to do. In the minor leagues, that's clear. 61 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: But he's got potential. You see how hard he hits 62 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: the ball, and when he makes contact it definitely travels. 63 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: He doesn't need to swing as hard as he does. 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 2: He needs a helmet that fits. He needs to have 65 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 2: much less head movement. From the time he's in his 66 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: like short crouch to the time where he gets in 67 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: that Otani like load, his head moves a foot and 68 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 2: a half. It can't be easy to refocus on the 69 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: baseball when you do that. I think he needs to 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: find something that's much more comfortable, much more still, and 71 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: just swing not as hard, and I think he'll get 72 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: better and we're a tighter helmet. Yovanni Cruz put for 73 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: the pitch for the second day in a row. His 74 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 2: control wasn't as good today as it was yesterday. Now, 75 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: yesterday he only gave up two balls out of fifteen pitches. Today, 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: first three pitches were out of the zone and he 77 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: didn't last long in the game, didn't give up any runs. 78 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: But you know, he's still got good stuff. I think 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: we're gonna see more of him. Yankees offense has had 80 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: trouble with bullpen games. Teams match up against the Yankees 81 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: really well. When they do that, it's just easy to 82 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: pitch this lineup, especially when Judge isn't hitting. They threatened 83 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 2: in the six with two on and one out, but 84 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: Jazz struck out on three curve balls that were just 85 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: just deadly. The last one was out of the zone though. 86 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: Gold Schmidt bounced out weekly to third base and that 87 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: was it. That was pretty much the end of the 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: Yankees threat. You had Dovall coming in there and serving 89 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: up the meatballs and here's the song throwing balls. Yeah, 90 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: not good. Volpi didn't have a great night. You know, 91 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 2: it's funny. The announcers were commenting on how good Vulpy looks, 92 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: and you know how great his approach has been, which 93 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: I agree with. It's been good, but tonight he got 94 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: away from it tonight. His swings were awful right after 95 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: they said that. But he had a tough night too. 96 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 2: Yankees drop this one and they lose. They've lost two 97 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: in a row. Jay Snow says, the strikeouts drive him crazy. 98 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 2: They drive me crazy too. Before we get to the 99 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: pitcher spotlight, I'm gonna go to the game breakdown. Usually 100 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: we do this after the pitcher spotlight, but just three 101 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: hits tonight. I mean that's the story. Fourteen strikeouts and 102 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: three walks. That's not gonna win you a lot of games, guys. 103 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: Just an awful, anemic offense, a lot of balls in 104 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: the air tonight. Forty percent of their batted balls were 105 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 2: fly balls, just seven percent were ground balls, and twenty 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: seven percent were line drives. Didn't pop up as much, 107 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: just one pop out. But Yankees pitching struck out ten 108 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: and walked three, allowed seven hits and one home run. 109 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: They kept the ball on the ground a lot ten 110 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: ground balls. Spencer Jones had the hardest hit ball to 111 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: night one oh five point seven. And like I said, 112 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: he hits the ball hard, just doesn't hit it quite enough. 113 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: And Camillo de'vall had the top pitch at ninety nine 114 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: point nine miles an hour. So let's go to Carlos Rodan. 115 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: This was classic Rodan in that it was five and fly. 116 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: Because he threw so many pitches, I thought the stuff 117 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: was there. He had seven strikeouts. He topped out at 118 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: ninety five point eight. We've seen him throw harder this year. 119 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: He threw ninety four pitches, fifty nine of them strikes. 120 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 2: He did have sixteen swings and misses, all positives, the downside, 121 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: three walks, and he only went five innings because the 122 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: pitch count was so high. And I suppose for a 123 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: number four starter, which is what he is now in 124 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: this rotation, this is acceptable, but I was hoping for 125 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: six or six and two thirds tonight because the bullpen 126 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: has been so weak, not that it would have mattered. Overall, 127 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: solid performance, but ultimately not good enough. And so the 128 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: series is officially a split, no blood loss between the 129 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: Yankees and the Blue Jays, but the Yankees have lost 130 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: some ground in the division now. The Yanks won Game 131 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: one seven to six, they won Game two five to four, 132 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: and then the last two nights the offense completely disappear. 133 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: Trey Savage dominated and out pitched Cam Schlitzler, and then 134 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: tonight it was a bullpen game and the Yankees just 135 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: had no answers for that, and Springer hit a home run, which, look, 136 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: you gotta start pitching him differently because he kills you. 137 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 2: He kills you. But good news, we got garat Cole 138 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: coming back tomorrow night, making his twenty twenty six season debut. 139 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 2: Did not pitch in twenty twenty five either. In fact, 140 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: the last time he pitched was Game five with the 141 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four World Series. The last time we saw him, 142 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: he was bringing heat ninety nine miles an hour. He 143 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: threw the ball well in Triple A his last time out. 144 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: His stuff was good. But we need him to step 145 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: up and pick us up a game in the division 146 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: facing Nick Martinez four and one with a one point 147 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 2: five to one eer, drew a music on Tuesday. On 148 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: Saturday he has forn one with three point one nine 149 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: and Shane McClanahan, who's really good a lefty on Sunday 150 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: and he's five and two with the two point eight two. 151 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 2: The Yankees have outscored the Rays this year, but the 152 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 2: Rays creeping up in that run differential, and the Rays 153 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: just flat out hit. They're hitting thirty points higher essentially 154 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: than the Yankees. They're on base percentage is a little 155 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: bit higher. The Yankees ops is a bit higher. Yankees 156 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: typically hit more home runs. They've hit thirty two more 157 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 2: home runs than the Rays, and the Yankees have a 158 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: lower EER and lower whip, but that doesn't This is 159 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: all a collection of stats. This is a collection of stats. 160 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 2: Rays have more wins. That's bottom line. Rays are thirty 161 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: three and fifteen. Yankees are thirty and twenty one. Because 162 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: the Rays play better baseball, they move runners, they get 163 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 2: runners in from third in situations. The Yankees might end 164 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: up having better stats overall than the Rays this year, 165 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: but a worst record. And that's the problem with the 166 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: whole Brian Cashman era, him and the eggheads in the 167 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: front office. They look at the numbers and they say, well, 168 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: this team's gonna score x amount of runs. That means 169 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: they should win x amount of games, you know. And 170 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: they'll get the Rays and they say, well, they're not 171 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: gonna score as many runs. They should win less games. 172 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 2: But they don't look at how those teams play situationally. Anyway. 173 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 2: I just don't feel like the Yankees are gonna do 174 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: very well this weekend. They're not playing well and this 175 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: is not a great matchup. We got a couple of 176 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: super chats here. Paris Crubb says ass Chisholm. Franklin says, 177 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: this team doesn't win anything with the roster that averages 178 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: eight plus strikeouts per game. Best pitching staff doesn't mean 179 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: jack when you have this offense. One hundred percent agree, 180 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: and then frank says cash ran it back shoved it 181 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 2: down our throats. Sick of this crap? All right, quick 182 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: word from FanDuel then we'll get back.

You know, it's the obvious. 205 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: This lineup is way too top peavy, way too top peggy. 206 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: Too many lefties. I mean, for us not to score 207 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 4: any runs on a bullpen day, it's not good. They 208 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: may have to take maybe from four to six and 209 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 4: drop them down to spread out seventy eight nine in 210 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 4: the lineup. Because this lineup is easy to navigate, it's 211 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 4: extremely easy to navigate. Way too many lefties. You'll have 212 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 4: to take some guys, maybe drop five down down to 213 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: six and six, seven, you know, bring some of those 214 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 4: guys up from the bottom to spread it out, just 215 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 4: until stay and then get spot because this is ridiculous. 216 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 4: There's no way that we're gonna be anywhere near contention 217 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: playing like this. Come the trade deadline. Thanks a lot. 218 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: Well, all right, appreciate the call. I'm gonna zoom in 219 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 2: on the Division Yankees and raise kick off a big 220 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 2: series tomorrow. The Blue Jays will be taking on the 221 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: Pirates and Bubba Chandler Kevin Gossman pitching in that game, 222 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 2: Red Sox will be taking on the Twins, and the 223 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: Orioles and Tigers are playing each other. Jack Flaherty O 224 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 2: one five with a five point seven to seven era 225 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: Yankees will open a day three four and a half back. 226 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 2: So even if the Yankees sweep, they're still in second 227 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: place and that is not the position that you want 228 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: to be in. Here's another call, Hey. 229 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 5: Derek, how you doing? 230 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 6: This? 231 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 5: Is Tim from Albany, New York. I'm sure you're gonna 232 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 5: get swamps with voicemails regarding the Yankees, especially their offensive struggles. 233 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 5: So I thought i'd bring some light to the situation 234 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 5: and give you a fun thought exercise. If you could 235 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 5: take any Yankees player from past the Yankee teams and 236 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 5: put them on this year's team to help them win 237 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 5: a World Series? 238 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: Who do you pick? 239 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 5: I would love to hear you answer the no sho Derek. 240 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 5: Picks have been killing it, so I figured I get 241 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 5: your answer while you're on the hot streak. Let me know, 242 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 5: love the show, see you man. 243 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: I downloaded all these voicemails in the ninth inning and 244 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: I didn't have a chance to listen to him. I 245 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: wish I had listened to this one, so I could 246 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: have put more thought in it. There's a few thoughts here. 247 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 2: So the first person that comes to mind is Alex Rodriguez, 248 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: because you could take his two thousand and seven season, 249 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: put him at third base, get fifty home runs. Fits naturally, 250 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: he's a good defender, he's a you know, a big 251 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: time hitter and good baseball player. You know. Then, I mean, 252 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: you could take Derek Jeter. The Yankees don't have a 253 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 2: real shortstop. You got Cabi Arrow coming back tomorrow. Volpie's 254 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: kinda eh. You could take Jeter from ninety nine, and 255 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: that would certainly help the team. You know, a three 256 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: point fifty hitter. I don't know what he would hit 257 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 2: in today's game with today's velocity, but I'm sure it 258 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: wouldn't be too much worse. And he was at the 259 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: top of his game defensively in that year. You know, 260 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: Mariano Rivera closing down games. It's hard to ever choose 261 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: anything against Marianna Rivera because you know, he was so automatic. Essentially, 262 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: I mean, you could take ninety six Rivera before he 263 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 2: was even a closer, and then you got two free 264 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: innings every night. Or you could take nineteen ninety eight 265 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 2: through whenever, early mid two thousand's Rivera before he had 266 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: that one down year. I think those would probably be 267 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: my top three choices. It's also tough to say, you know, 268 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: Mickey Mantle from nineteen fifty six in centerfield wouldn't help you. 269 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: You know, has had a lot of good ones. That's 270 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 2: a great question, though. I appreciate the call, Derek. 271 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 6: I'm not even going to wait to get into the 272 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 6: fifth inning, and I'm just going to tell you one thing. 273 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 6: He's back. Anthony Volpi is back. The old, good old 274 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 6: Volpi that swings out of his shoes and try to 275 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 6: hit home runs, and and and and lift every ball 276 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 6: is back. I knew it was too good to be 277 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 6: true his approach for the first couple of weeks, but 278 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 6: thank god Caballero's coming back soon and send this guy 279 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 6: back to triple A or Double A or whatever. 280 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 5: Well. 281 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Look, look, it's it's tough to 282 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: be consistent in the major leagues. The approach can be consistent, 283 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: I think though, and that's been the problem with Vopee. 284 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: He'll he'll do that for a few games in a 285 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 2: row where he plays like the player we want him 286 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: to be. And then he'll get back into trying to 287 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: launch home runs. Maybe he saw the nose for Derek prediction. 288 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll just never pick him again. All right, So 289 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: we got to comment here. Raymond Vellen wants to trade 290 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: Doval and Wells for Alvarez. Your don Alvarez don't smoke 291 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: crack wow, uh the theresa red there there's red, there's 292 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 2: no there's ed. Sorry. It's hard when there's no spaces 293 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: in the words. It's like trying to read a vanity 294 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 2: license plate. Says Rice can't hit a leadoff. I think 295 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: you're sittarting to say that Rice shouldn't hit leadoff. I 296 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 2: like Rice in the number two spot. Niggas don't have 297 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: a true leadoff hitter, though. I keep hoping that Dominguez 298 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: will eventually be that guy, because you don't have to 299 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 2: platoon him righty lefty. If he can finally hit lefties 300 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 2: as he was doing before he got hurt. He takes pitches, 301 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: he's got speed. I think he's the perfect leadoff man. 302 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: He doesn't try and hit for power. Every time he 303 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: has power. He'll run into one hit a lead off 304 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 2: home run against the Mets last year, and the next 305 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 2: day he was hitting seventh. 306 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 7: I think two things. Ernie Clement has been freaking killing us. 307 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 7: That little guy is an absolute baller. What a pain 308 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 7: in the ass. I mean, you gotta love the style 309 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 7: of play, but man is he is tough every time 310 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 7: we play him. And the second thing, I really hope 311 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 7: Judges and Hurt are banged up in any any way. 312 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 7: He just he hasn't really looked right this whole year. Really, 313 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 7: even though he was hitting home runs, he still wasn't 314 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 7: really uh. I don't know, he just just hasn't really 315 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 7: looked like himself over the past few years anyway, all Right, 316 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 7: I wanted to hear what you say it. 317 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: You know, I wonder if getting started early this winter 318 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: has affected him. It's thrown off his rhythm, so he's, 319 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: you know, basically in his mid season slump early. I 320 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: don't know. The WBC is an easy excuse to make 321 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 2: because a lot of guys are having that issue. Maybe 322 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: he's thirty four and he's starting to slow down a 323 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 2: little bit, you know. I don't know. I wish I 324 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 2: had an answer for you, but it is definitely concerning. 325 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: He went over tonight and he is now hitting two 326 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: fifty on the season with the nine to thirty five ohps, 327 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 2: sixteen home runs, three eighty one ops, sixty six strikeouts, 328 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: just eight doubles. We need him to get going. We 329 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: need him to have a big series against the Rays 330 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,199 Speaker 2: this weekend. 331 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek is Mary Biff And actually, I don't know 332 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 8: the way Boone has used the pitching and the bullpen tonight. 333 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 8: Actually I'm hoping that you can comment on it, because 334 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 8: you're the pro. I'm the fan who knows something but not. 335 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 5: All the way. 336 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 8: So I'm just curious what you think of what he's done. 337 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 8: And I don't. Well, let's see if we win. 338 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: Okay, don't buy. 339 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: Well spoiler alert, we didn't win. 340 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: Yo, Derek, what's going on? So here we go again. 341 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: The offense goes dormant after two pretty solid games. It 342 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: goes dormant to the next I don't know six. I 343 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: mean you talk about jazz. He was talking about fifty 344 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: to fifty. Maybe that was fifty strikeouts from fifty different pickers. 345 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: You know that was There was a movie back in 346 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven with Jody Foster and Matthew McConaughey. He 347 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: might have heard of it. 348 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: Oh, I accidentally exited that out I'm gonna sorry the 349 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: Jodie Foster and Matthew mcconnie hey movie. Then, I'm sure 350 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: your referencing is contact, which is something the Yankees are 351 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: unfamiliar with. But that was a good movie. But I 352 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: don't think Matthew McConaughey had any business being in that movie, 353 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 2: you know. But that was a solid flick. My favorite 354 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: part was when the guy who was a like he 355 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: was the President's science advisor. He gets on the machine 356 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 2: before they're getting ready to launch it and he's like 357 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: being a ham for the camera or whatever, and then 358 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 2: the whole thing blows up. Because that guy was kind 359 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: of a villain. So I was like, ah, anyway, that 360 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: was a good, good movie. Anyway, Yankees lose this one. 361 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a voicemail show in the morning, call in, 362 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 2: and we're gonna talk about Garrett Cole. We're gonna talk 363 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: about the stage, the offense, and maybe look around and 364 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: see who we could trade for.
