1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: All right, the typathy. It is Sunday, July twentieth, and 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees were taking on the Braves in the final 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: game of a three game set and they were trying 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 1: to win the series after an improbable comeback in Game two. 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Next is the Toronto Blue Jays. Will cover that series, 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: my recap, your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstrive Territory. 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: Just one to talk catch all. 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: Hey, how about that? How about two out of three? 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: Yankees take this one four to two, and they win 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: two out of three on the road to begin the 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: second half. And I gotta be honest with you guys. 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: After the loss on Friday night where the Yankees basically 13 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: played uninspired baseball that got beat up. Believe it was 14 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: seven to three, I did not think we would be 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: sitting here talking about winning two out of three. And 16 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: yesterday when they were down five to nothing in Game two, 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: you start getting those calls. I had a ton of 18 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: voicemails from folks who are like, man, let's just pack 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: it in, let's sell team, let's rebrand as the Highlanders again, 20 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, let's just forget everything. And they turned on 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: a dime and played great baseball over the last game 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: and a half today, very solid baseball. Early on they 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: manufactured some runs. Of course, they got a big home 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: run from Aaron Judge and Marcus Strowman. Wow, what a 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: tremendous game for him. Fantastic, fantastic day. And the Yankees 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: take two out of three down And why I says, 27 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: what a difference two days make? I tell you what. 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: Every day is just more of the same. For Spencer Jones. 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: We covered him last night and I mentioned what he 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: was doing was ridiculous. Well it got even more ridiculous today. 31 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: Two more home runs. He is now hitting four to 32 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: eighteen with ten home runs in sixteen games at TRIPLEA. 33 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: He is not knocking on the door anymore. He is 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: bashing through the wall like the kool aid Man. He 35 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: is going to force you to either call him up 36 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: or trade him because you can't keep hitting a home 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: run a day and not being the major leagues, especially 38 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: when he's a number one draft pick for your organization. 39 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: And every ball that he hits is going like four 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four hundred and forty feet. Today he 41 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: had another one that went four hundred and forty five feet. 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: His exit ve velocities are over one hundred and nine 43 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: hundred and ten miles an hour multiple times per game. 44 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: So he has really turned it around. I am eating 45 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: tons of crow. He's striking out less. The adjustments he's 46 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 1: made have really gotten our attention. But let's first talk 47 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: about this game. Let's go, let's get it going, because 48 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees picked up a very important win with Toronto 49 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: winning again and Toronto wins like every day, which is 50 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: not good because the next team we play is Toronto. 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: But the Yankees keeping pace here. They remain three games back. 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: Both teams I thought played, you know, fairly well given 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: the state of the bullpens today. Aaron Judge got things 54 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: started off in the first inning with a long home 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: run opposite field solo jack number thirty six on the year, 56 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: and he is still second in the major leagues behind 57 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: Cal Raley. You gotta figure eventually he's gonna pass Raleigh. 58 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean, catchers wear down the record for a catcher. 59 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I believe he's forty eight, you know, maybe he hits fifty. 60 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: I find it hard to believe that if Darren Judge 61 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: stays healthy, he's not gonna have between fifty five and 62 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: sixty five, you know, because he's done it before, and 63 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: he's had some big Septembers before too. We had seventeen 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: home runs in September his rookie year. As arms get tired, 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: if they're pitching to him at all, he's gonna put 66 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: up some numbers. But John Carlo Stanton had an excellent 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: piece of hitting in the first opposite field single through 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: the wide open right side. He had a really good day, 69 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: three hits. We'll talk more about him in a second. 70 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm laid down a beautiful bunt to get him 71 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: into second base and he made first base as with 72 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: an infield hit. Jazz really growing on me as a player. 73 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: He also had a double in this game. Just continuing 74 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: to play well, bringing a ton of energy to the team. 75 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: But that butt he was he was bunning for a hit, 76 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't trying to sacrifice there, so that 77 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: was a really really smart play. Stanton got into scoring 78 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: position and then he scored on a base hit by 79 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: Paul Goldsmith, So just really good baseball, manufacturing baseball. Stanton 80 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: got another hit in a second bat. Second at bat, 81 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: a laser beam off the left field wall. Looked like 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: it was hit about one hundred and thirty. I looked 83 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: it up. It went one fifteen. And then in his 84 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: next at bat he hit went over the shortstop that 85 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: looked like it was one hundred and eighty five miles 86 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: an hour off the bat. I mean it was. It 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: had that perfect, perfect sound that you hear if you 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: play MLB the show, where it's just like a perfect 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: crisp contact one twelve point eight. So surprising. But as 90 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 1: that launch angle starts to get a little bit higher 91 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: and higher, he's going to go on one of these 92 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: nuclear streaks and we could sure use it against Toronto. 93 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: He's a guy who who steps up in the biggest moments. 94 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: He always has with the Yankees, going back to his 95 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: first year with the Yankees when he had that walk 96 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: off home run against the Mariners. I'm sure some of 97 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: you remember that, Oh, Stanton Earns, his pinstripes was the 98 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: call or something like that from Michael Kay and then 99 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: he was great in the postseason pretty much every time 100 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: the Yankees have been in the postseason. Last year he 101 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: wins ALCS MVP. This is a guy who's basically immune 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: to pressure, and in a situation where there's gonna be 103 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on the Yankees over the next 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: few days, having him in a hitter friendly ballpark under 105 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: controlled conditions at a time where he is swinging the 106 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: bat well and look, he is as prone to going 107 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: to a sudden slamp as anybody, but typically when he 108 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: heats up like this, it builds together like a storm. Right. 109 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: You see the dark clouds moving in and all of 110 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's just lightning bolts. For a week or so, 111 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: we haven't seen that yet. We saw him begin to 112 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: get started with that before the break, and then the 113 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: brake hit and you thought maybe he'd cool off. But today, 114 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: you know, there's a reason that Joe Girardi was saying 115 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: right there at the end of the game, I don't 116 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: know if i'd pitched to him right, but three for 117 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 1: five on the day now, hitting two to eighty six 118 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: with an eight sixty three OPS. So I just wanted 119 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: to give a shout out to John Carlow. We had 120 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: a beautiful play by your bit Vivas today in the 121 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: third inning, Profar was trying to bunt, he popped it 122 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: up and Vivos made a diving play. Vivos also got 123 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: hit by a pitch that drove a run. So all 124 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: is forgiven after his base running blunder the other night, 125 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: sacrificing his body for the team. Today, Anthony Volpi ripped 126 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: a line drive. Base hit today. Didn't score, but maybe 127 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: a sign that he's continuing to swing the bat a 128 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: little bit better. After two home runs yesterday, base hit 129 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: today still just the two sixteen average with the six 130 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: to eighty six ops on the year. Yankees look they 131 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: they threatened a few times. It didn't come through, but 132 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: they managed to get it done. Stroman, he went six 133 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: brilliant innings. We'll talk more about him. The bullpen was 134 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: what I was worried about. But we had a scoreless 135 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: inning from Hamilton. We had a scoreless inning from Tim Hill, 136 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: and then Devin Williams came in and served up a 137 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty six foot home run to Ronald Kunya. 138 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: But he was able to work out of the inning 139 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: without any further damage and the Yankees take two out 140 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: of three. Jesse Dasa's signature moment was the call from 141 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: Michael Kay on John Carlostanton. I'm gonna have to go 142 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: back and watch that. I remember that he did it 143 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: towards like the loading dock in left field. Stanley He's 144 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: always been fun to watch when he's nuclear. When he's struggling, though, 145 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: it's about as painful to watch as you can imagine, 146 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: because he'll flail at pitches a foot and a half 147 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: outside and then if he gets on he can't run. 148 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: But when he's swinging the bat well, and he has 149 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: been recently, he does a lot for this lineup. We 150 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: got a chat here from Ryan Bashman says most runs 151 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: the Yankees have gotten off a guy with a mowet 152 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: since the eighties. All right, let's go to the belt winner. 153 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: I don't think there is much discussion today. Marcus Stroman 154 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: a true stro show this afternoon and his first belt 155 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: of the year. And we had a call here that 156 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: wanted to play here for you. 157 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, it's Rick and Soth Carolina. 158 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm even saying this, but if the 159 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: Yanks hold this lead, Stroman's got to get the belt today. 160 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: So let's talk about him, because he really was the 161 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: story for the day. You know, he showed up when 162 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: the Yankees needed the most day game rubber match. Day 163 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: game after night game. Everybody's tired, the bullpen is gassed, 164 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: and the Braves offense has potential to make it ugly 165 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: in a hurry if you don't have it right. If 166 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: he gets knocked out in the second inning, not only 167 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: does that kill you for this series, but it might 168 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: kill you for the next series. But now we were 169 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: able to get through the game without completely destroying the bullpen. 170 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 1: He went ninety five pitches sixty two for strikes. Era 171 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: is still inflated at five point sixty four, but he's 172 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: been better since he's come back, And we got a 173 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: call about that from MB. 174 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek Marybeth here. And you know what, since Stroman 175 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: has come back before, before his injury, I didn't want 176 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 2: to see him. I wanted him off. But since he's 177 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,479 Speaker 2: come back, he has done a more than adequate job. 178 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. He's been keeping you in the game, 179 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: and today he manned up and just delivered an awesome performance. 180 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: He exited with a three run lead. You know, he 181 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: was mixing and matching, he was working around the edges, 182 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 1: he was keeping the bats guessing. He doesn't need to 183 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: light up the radar gun. He's a ninety mile an 184 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: hour guy. He relies on movement on location, and I 185 00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: thought he delivered on both of those today. Also, worth, 186 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: and they pointed out on the broadcast seemed to be 187 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: on the same page with Ben Rice. So maybe that's 188 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: a way to keep Ben Rice in the lineup. Maybe 189 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,319 Speaker 1: you run him back out there again next time that 190 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: Stroman's on the mound. But this was a game that 191 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: you know, you needed him to step up, and he did, 192 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: and that's what veteran pitchers do. So really, really nice 193 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: performance from Marcus Stroman. All right, so let's zoom out 194 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: and talk about this series. So obviously, the seven to 195 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 1: three loss on Friday night was uninspiring. A highlight of 196 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the night was Vivas trying to run on Ronald Acunya Junior, 197 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: who made one of the best throws that you'll ever see, 198 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: but you know, he probably should have slid. Yesterday was 199 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: the comeback. I mean, down five nothing and then down 200 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: seven to two, but they refused to roll over and die. 201 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: Two home runs from Anthony Volpi, career best for runs 202 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: driven in. Trent Grisham had five runs driven in, including 203 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: the Grand Slam, and then he does not start today, 204 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: doesn't even get in at bat, but he did come 205 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: in to play defense. But look, they gave the Yankees 206 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 1: the win yesterday. Devin Williams allowed a run yesterday, he 207 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: allowed another run today, so he has been anything but 208 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: lights out. But the Yankees were able to sustain the 209 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: damage and they won twelve to nine. And the offense 210 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: looked really good. Stanton again hitting the ball hard in 211 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: all three games, looking as comfortable at the plate as 212 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: we've seen him since the postseason, and today really good 213 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: baseball from the Yankees early on manufacturing runs, and then 214 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman with a fantastic performance to give the Yankees 215 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: two out of three. Not a series that I expected 216 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees to win, especially after Game one, and given 217 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: the pitching matchups, I just didn't. I thought the Yankees 218 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: were kind of punting to try and save up for 219 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: the Blue Jay series. But the fact they were able 220 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: to win two out of three and that the bats 221 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: are heating up as you're heading into Toronto very good signs. 222 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: All right, So this next series is no Joe proverbial, 223 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: biggest series of the year so far, and the series 224 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: will only get bigger and bigger from here on out. 225 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: We've got sixty three games left this year. Blue Jays 226 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: are three games up. They just swept the Yankees in 227 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: Toronto a few weeks ago, and that simply cannot be 228 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: allowed to happen again. In fact, you gotta win this series. 229 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: This is they must win series. Right. They just swept 230 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: the Giants to begin the second half, so they're still hot. 231 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: They're playing like a team that really wants it. They've 232 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: been on the fringes for years. They've got some legitimate 233 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: Yankee killers. George Springer probably the biggest contributor in the 234 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: in the previous series. Vladdie. You know, he leads their 235 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: team in war and he's always dangerous. They're well rounded, 236 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: they're energetic, they hustle, and they're not gonna pitch to Judge. 237 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: They are not gonna pitch to Aaron Judge at all. 238 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: They're gonna put up. That's how they won last time. 239 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: You know you got a game plan for that, right. 240 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: You got to give him protection. Hit the hottest hitters 241 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: behind him. Right, We're gonna see Carlos Rodon in Game one. 242 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: Cam Schlittler is gonna pitch in Game two. Blue Jays 243 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 1: have not seen him obviously, And when a guy throws 244 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: a hundred, I'd say that's advantage Yankees early on. If 245 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: he's throwing strikes, it's gonna take them at least a 246 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: trip through the order to figure out what he's got. 247 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: You wonder how he's gonna throw the ball, given the 248 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: fact that he had an MRI on his arm a 249 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: few days ago. We're gonna take face Max Scherzer in 250 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: this series. We're gonna throw Max Freed, and even with 251 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,479 Speaker 1: the blister, I'll take our Max in that. Meredith Morokovitz 252 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: said that he's doing better. He's throwing without incident, so 253 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 1: hopefully it's calloused up. And you know, maybe the conditions 254 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: in the dome, you know, being relatively controlled, maybe you 255 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: don't work up too much of a sweat. Yeah, I mean, 256 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm sure he's gonna sweat. He's out there pitching a 257 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: major league game, but it's not like pitching an one 258 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: hundred degree weather. You're not gonna sweat as much, which 259 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: softens up your skin. So you know, maybe in a 260 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: dome that's advantageous for him to keep that blister under control. 261 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: We need him to be basically efficient and get deep 262 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: into the game. We need all these guys to go 263 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: deep into the game. Rodin gave us eight innings not 264 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: too long ago. Would love to have that again tomorrow. 265 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: But you know, Hey, Yankees got to win this series 266 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: one way or another, no matter who's pitching and how 267 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: deep they go. We got some voicemails here action. His 268 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: first one is about Girardi. 269 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: He totally unrelated to the game, but I want to say, 270 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 4: I really like to Girardi in the booth. He's been 271 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: doing great. He's I mean, he's a great monster. 272 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: I love Girardi. Uh to me, He's always a step 273 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: ahead of the action. I've seen him predict home runs 274 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: and stuff because he's like, oh, this guy, you know, 275 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: he attacks the ball here, this is where the pitcher's 276 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: throwing it. He just seems to be really, really into 277 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the game. And I wonder if he brings the binder 278 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: with him into the booth, right, remember the binder when 279 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: he was the Yankees manager. I think he's a fantastic 280 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: edition of the booth. I wish he was still in 281 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: the dugout, but it is what it is. Here's an 282 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: interesting idea. Let me just play this one. 283 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, I was just watching a YouTube video and 284 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 4: I got a weird idea that might be horrible, and 285 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 4: that's why I'm not the GM of the Yankees. But 286 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: do you I think that the Yankees could trade for 287 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 4: Justin Verter and try and use him in like a 288 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 4: bullpen roll. Maybe Blake can tinker with his pitch mix. 289 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: And I mean, his velocity isn't down that much even 290 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: with just his you know, vertical break, and I think, 291 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 4: just like, even if he's not really like the best 292 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: arm out of the pen, can he really be much worse? 293 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 4: And on top of that, he brings that veteran leadership, 294 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 4: that postseason experience, that clubhouse guy that the Yankees have 295 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: been lacking ever since Gardener or less. So I don't know, 296 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 4: you know what you think? 297 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: Well, I'm trying to share my screen, but it's here 298 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: we go. Justin Verlander, Okay, sixteen games started this year 299 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: has not made a relief appearance. Four point nine to 300 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: nine er to me, I see the one point five 301 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: to one three whip and I see less than the 302 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: strikeout pinning guys in his forties. I mean, you just 303 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: have to think that he might be cooked. Honestly, I 304 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: think he might be cooked. I appreciate the creator activity, right, 305 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: but I don't think that's a real option. The yankses 306 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: are gonna have to get it done with what they 307 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: have and by trading for some competent relief pitching. I 308 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: don't know who that is, but I think moves are coming. 309 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: I would love it if they would make a move 310 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: here tonight. Get some reinforcements before this Toronto series. Quick 311 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: word from our sponsor, then back with some final comments. 312 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 5: Ah, Summer, we almost forgot what it feels like to 313 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 5: play just because, but even Summer needs back up, a 314 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 5: little partner in the good kind of chaos. Someone to 315 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: bring the kung fu kicks. I got to train some dragons. 316 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 5: Fly young dragon writer fly. 317 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: The kind of fun that keeps the days going, that 318 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: turns living rooms into playgrounds and reminds us what our 319 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 3: body is and our hearts were made for play, that 320 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: moves you. 321 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: All right, next playground? Second ad. So not as much 322 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: of a break as I'm used to in these run 323 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: when we run these ads. But Mike d says Girardi 324 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: easily the best announcer. Don't think he has interested in 325 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: doing a full time announcing gig. Yeah, I mean it's 326 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: a lot of work to travel with the team. If 327 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, he might as well be a manager, 328 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: you know. I would love to see him get back 329 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: into managing. I always felt like he was a good manager. 330 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: He obviously won Manager of the Year with the Marlins. 331 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: I believe you know, he had some down years too. 332 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: He comes across as strict and regimented, which is not 333 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: what front offices are necessarily looking for in today's game. 334 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to be coddled. Everybody's got to be your 335 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: best friend. I'll tell you what. There are times when 336 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: this team could use a little bit of discipline. And 337 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: you know the fact that they got rid of him 338 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: for being too strict on Gary Sanchez and then watching 339 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez fall apart should have been a wake up 340 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: call that, you know, maybe some not everybody needs to 341 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: be handled with kid gloves, right. I mean, some people 342 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: just need a little bit extra motivation, need to have 343 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 1: a fire lit under their ass a little bit. We 344 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,680 Speaker 1: got some comments here. Laurie c wants no part of 345 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: David Robertson. I want to see what he looks like. 346 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he was good last year. He always has 347 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: swinging miss stuff. He's pitched in the playoffs. If he 348 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: could just get us through, you know, you know, if 349 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: he could just get us through the half of season, 350 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: I think we'll be all right. So I mean I 351 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: don't know what he's got left in the tank. Only 352 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: the scouts can tell you that. The hitters will tell you. 353 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: But I'm not opposed to signing David Robertson. I just 354 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: realized that I've got brabs instead of braves in my description. 355 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna fix that real quick. Thank you to the 356 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: user who shouted that out. It Happens Live show. Brian Bashmans, 357 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Sanchez and Glaber were wosses and Glaber's having a good 358 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: year with the Tigers, made the All Star team the 359 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: FS March and slumping. Does he go back down for Jones? No, 360 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: I mean, like you said, it's just a slump. He's 361 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: he's chasing too many of those breaking balls down and 362 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: in you know, maybe the brake cooled him off. He 363 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: was hitting better before the break, But now you don't 364 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: send him down for a little slump. That's just not 365 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: how the Yankees do business. You got to keep running 366 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: him out there and let him develop. You know, you 367 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: work through slumps, that's how you get better. But David 368 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: Fox says, Cashman always late to the party. We passed 369 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: on verlin Er twice and should have had the ring 370 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: and not Houston. But Cashman whipped, so it makes sense 371 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: to go get him now because that's part of his game. Eh. Maybe, 372 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: but I doubt it. And then Brian Bashman says, don't 373 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: we have enough change up guys already? Well, the change 374 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: up is Matt Blake's specialty. He's great at developing that 375 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: change up, at getting guys who have a decent change 376 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: up and turning it into an elite change up. We 377 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: saw that with Corey Klueber. We've seen it with a 378 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: number of guys. So hey, I got no problem with 379 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: bringing in guys who are change up pitchers. But all right, 380 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, good win for the Yankees. I'm gonna 381 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: do a one of those yard backyard record videos tomorrow. 382 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk a little bit about the Spencer Jones dilemma. 383 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: So maybe call in, get your voicemails in. We'll take 384 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: some comments things like that, and I'll put that up 385 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: at some point before the game tomorrow and then postgame 386 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: obviously after the Jay's game tomorrow, night three in a row, 387 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: and then they're off Thursday. We'll probably do another voicemail 388 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: show on Thursday, and then the Yankees are back in 389 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: the Bronx to take on the Phillies.
