1 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: Can you stay here? 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,319 Speaker 2: Just why pull me back? 3 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:19,760 Speaker 3: All right? Happy Trade deadline Eve? Everybody, Happy Trade deadline Eve. 4 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 3: The deadline is tomorrow at six pm. And we're gonna 5 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 3: talk a little bit about trades. But there's a few 6 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: baseball things happening on the field, and I got Aiden 7 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 3: with me to do our typical stat cast report. We're 8 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: gonna do it live. We're gonna do it live. We're 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: doing it live. Ay, now you doing, buddy. 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 4: I'm doing good. Morning. Coffee is still setting in a bit, 11 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 4: but you know, still rocking. Nice. Two wents from the 12 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 4: Yankees past two nights. 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 3: Huh, dude. I was literally drinking coffee ten seconds before 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: we went live. Because I don't know about you, but 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 3: this time of year, I just do not sleep. I 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: just stay up all Like I wake up at four 17 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, and I immediately go to the phone, Like, 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 3: did any trades happen while I was asleep for those 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 3: last two hours? I know it's healthy, but I do 20 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 3: it anyway. 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 22 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's this time of year and the 23 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 4: winter meetings that always gets me. Like I'm I'm glued 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 4: to my phone, glued to my Twitter feed, and like 25 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 4: I remember when the Sodo stuff was gone down, I 26 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 4: was up to like three am and I hadn't examined 27 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 4: like three hours. I was like, this isn't healthy. 28 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: So today we're going to talk about some actual baseball stuff. 29 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: The first thing that we want to get to is 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: Austin Wells, who had another good game last night. You know, 31 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 3: we talked I don't know, maybe a month ago about 32 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 3: how he was kind of unlucky, and now we're starting 33 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: to see the luck kind of swing in his favor. Like, 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 3: I feel like he's having good at bats. He's hit 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 3: some home runs recently. I don't think it's any coincidence 36 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: that it's happening when he's getting more regular at bats 37 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 3: because Jose Travigno's been on the injured list, and I think, 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: I mean, I could be wrong on this, because you 39 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: never know what Boone is gonna do, but I think 40 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: he's kind of staked his claim as the starting catcher. 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: There's this thing in baseball where you're not supposed to 42 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 3: lose your job to an injury, right, But Austin well 43 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: to me just looks like a more impactful hitter. He's 44 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: left handed, he is impressive defensively, so what do you 45 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: know about Austin Wells from the metrics side that can 46 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 3: support some of the things we're seeing from the eye test. 47 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, first and foremost, like Austin Wells is 48 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 4: getting this job, and I think the Yankees have wanted 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,119 Speaker 4: him to have this job, like, you know, since they've 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 4: been developing him. And the question was never his bat. 51 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: The question was always his glove, and so all the 52 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 4: defensive metrics this year show that his glove has actually 53 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,959 Speaker 4: been pretty outstanding. Of course, him and Chavignho both don't 54 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 4: have good arms, but he's been an excellent framer. He's 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 4: been an excellent blocker. And then you know, there was 56 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: never questions about his bat. But you know, the first 57 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: month of this season he didn't really look too good. 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 4: Like a lot of people were getting mad at him 59 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: because you know, he wasn't hitting the ball well. The 60 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: results weren't there, but he actually was hitting the ball well, 61 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 4: and if you look at his batting average of balls 62 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: in play, it was he was just getting really unlucky. 63 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 4: He had like a two to h nine babbit the 64 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 4: first month, as opposed I think like his professional career, 65 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 4: his career babb it is like some I think like 66 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 4: two ninety four, or maybe it's two sixty four. I 67 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: might be flipping that six and nine up and down. 68 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 4: But he was just getting unlucky. All of his expected stats, 69 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 4: he was super underperforming them. I think like at one 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 4: point his has weighted on bass average was one hundred 71 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: points below is expected weighted on Big Savage. So he 72 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 4: was getting really lucky. And like you said, he wasn't 73 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 4: really getting a lot of reps in the first month. 74 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to get your groove going when 75 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: you're not really playing every day. You're kind of he 76 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 4: was kind of a platoon guy, and he was really 77 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 4: he wasn't playing every other game. He was kind of 78 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: playing like two out of every five games, so it's 79 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: hard for him to get a groove. But once he 80 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 4: started getting those regular reps, he started, you know, those 81 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: results started to show. And the thing about him is 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 4: he's always a good at that the guy. I think 83 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 4: since June he has like eleven percent walk rate, which 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: that's an outstanding walk rate. He's always in three two counts. 85 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 4: That's what I like about Judge Soto and now Wells. 86 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: They're always in three two counts. They're always working at 87 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 4: thats and that you know that results and on base 88 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: you're either walking or you're getting hits. And Austin Wells, 89 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 4: it's been really really outstanding. And statistically he's even been 90 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 4: better than Dare I say Adlee Rushman this year. 91 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: Wow, that was a surprise because Rushman is a beast man. 92 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: I look at the catching numbers. I'm gonna pull his 93 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: sevant back up again. The framing is outstanding. I wonder 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: if he's gonna lose any value when we switched over 95 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 3: to the you know, automated strike zone system or the 96 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: challenge system. But the pop time is good, the blocks 97 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 3: above average is good. You know, we go up into 98 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: the offensive stats and you know he barrels it already 99 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 3: at about league average. He doesn't chase very much. The 100 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 3: strikeouts aren't you know problem. I mean, I'm just really 101 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: impressed this. This is turning out to be a really 102 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: good number one pick for the Yankees. Twenty five years 103 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: old and six two two twenty. You know that that 104 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: type of body we've seen it before will play in 105 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium if you're left handed. So I think over 106 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 3: time he's only gonna get better. The bat speed is 107 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: above average, he hits the ball on the sweet spot. 108 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: And one thing I like to look at with players 109 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 3: is their spray chart. You see, he doesn't just pull 110 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: it right. He hits the ball to left field. He'll 111 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 3: hit line drives to the left side. You know, he's 112 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: gapped up a few to the left side. You know, 113 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 3: one thing in baseball's amunt you can do is you 114 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: can click on something and it'll show you the actual 115 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 3: at bat. So let's go ahead and take a look 116 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: at this one in Baltimore. So this is a fastball 117 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: inside part of the plate and he actually like inside 118 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 3: outs it and shoots it to left field and you 119 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 3: see it get down into the gap for extra bases. 120 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: I mean, that is an impressive, impressive swing for such 121 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 3: a young kid. So just just picking your brain here, 122 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,559 Speaker 3: Jose Travino comes back. Do you think the Yankees will 123 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: put him back into that everyday roll or do you 124 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: think Austin Wells has finally taken over this job. 125 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: I don't think you can. I really don't think you can. 126 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: With the way he's been playing. I mean, like we've 127 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: been saying, like over the past month, since June, since May, 128 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 4: he's been one of the best catchers in baseball, not 129 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 4: just with the glove, but with the bat. I think, 130 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 4: let's see, he's got since let mean I got my 131 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 4: wrong window open here, but since June he has, you know, 132 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 4: a high fourteen point nine percent walk rate, a two 133 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 4: seventy eight average, a three ninety two OBP, and a 134 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 4: five to twenty six slug That makes for a ninety 135 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: eighteen ops. That's outstanding. There's no way you can sit 136 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 4: this guy down. When Chargho back is back. And it's 137 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 4: really nice to say, but like, I think Austin Wells 138 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: is like the catcher of the future for like at 139 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 4: least the next six years. The Yankees are really excited 140 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 4: about this guy, and we should all be excited about him. 141 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: I don't know if you've noticed, but he did inspire 142 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 4: this stash a little bit. 143 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 3: I gotta say, his mustache is better. I'm not gonna 144 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: lie you, Mustash, Absolutely, your mustache is quality. It's quality. 145 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: But his mustache is pro, buddy, his mustache is a 146 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: major league, major league stash. All right, let's talk a 147 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: little bit about Garrett Cole, the ace. So we've all 148 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: seen that he's had some ups and downs this year. 149 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 3: When he first came back, he was getting kind of 150 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: hit hard. I don't think he quite had enough rehab 151 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: outings or whatever. But then he delivered a couple of 152 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: really good outings in a row. He still got more 153 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: than a strikeout per inning. I'm gonna pull up Garrett 154 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: cole stat cast stuff too. One thing that we're seeing 155 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: from him is the pitching run value is down. I 156 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: think that's offset a little bit by his first couple 157 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: of outings. Last outing not great, but he's had some 158 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: good ones mixed in there. What I'm seeing with the 159 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: eye test is he's throwing that slider more down in 160 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: a way. Last year it seemed like he would get 161 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: a lot more strikeouts high fastballs. This year, it seems 162 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: like he's going to the breaking ball to get a 163 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: lot of his strikeouts. Just kind of wanted to get 164 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 3: your thoughts on Garrett Cole's metrics this year versus last 165 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 3: year when he was the cy Young Award winner, and 166 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: find out like, if you think he's lost anything from 167 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: a physical standpoint, I mean. 168 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the first thing I kind of look 169 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: at there at the top of his page is that 170 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: his fastball run value is, you know, not where it 171 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 4: should be at all. That's a really low fastball run 172 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: value at I think that's negative seven. That's not the 173 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 4: Garrett cale we know. The Garrett Cole we know is 174 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 4: a guy who throws the fastball by guys. He challenges 175 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: hitterors throws it at the top of his zone and 176 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 4: it just hasn't been there, been there. He is a 177 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: ninety six mile per hour average on it this year. 178 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 4: Last year was ninety seven. It's still early, but I 179 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 4: think it could be fair to say that maybe that 180 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: injury is affecting him a little bit. But I think 181 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 4: one difference, in my opinion, at the very least, is 182 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 4: that his cutter and slider usages have been very different 183 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: this year. In twenty twenty three, he was using it 184 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 4: twenty one percent of the time and just through his 185 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: I guess I think ten starts now, maybe not ten starts. 186 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: Don't quote me on that. Seven seven starts, Okay, Yeah, 187 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 4: So in twenty twenty three he used to slider twenty 188 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 4: one percent at the time. This year it's only about 189 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: thirteen percent. And that's a problem to me because his 190 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: slider is one of his best pitches. It's really effective. 191 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: It's it's still effective right now. It has a thirty 192 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 4: one point seven with percentage, and hitters are only batting 193 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 4: two hundred against it. And like I said, I think 194 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: he's using his cutter too much. His cutter usage last 195 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: year was seven percent and this year it's twenty two percent. 196 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 4: So that's a little concerning to me. Why he's throwing 197 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 4: that cutter so much all of a sudden, And he's 198 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 4: throwing it more against left handed hitters, and he has 199 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 4: been struggling against left handers, and he's been facing a 200 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: lot of them too. But his cutter hasn't been effective. 201 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 4: You know. Obviously it has more movement than his four 202 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 4: steam fastball, but it's only averaging ninety one miles per hour. 203 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: His four seamer is like ninety six miles per hour. 204 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 4: Like we said, Garkole is known for blowing the fastball 205 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 4: by guys. He's not blowing this cutter by anyone. And 206 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: hitters are batting three sixty seven against the cutter with 207 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 4: a seven hundred slug and a four fifty four are 208 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 4: rated on base average. It's not generating soft contact and 209 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: the average launch angle on it is twenty two. That's 210 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 4: pretty high cutter. You're supposed to get it in on 211 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: the hands and it's supposed to be hit on the 212 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 4: ground and it's not getting hit on the ground. It's 213 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 4: just I don't know why he's throwing this cutter so much, 214 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: but I really like him to mix in that slider 215 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 4: more and just throw your fastball, man, Just throw your fastball. 216 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 4: Throw you throw your slider, throw your knuckle curve. 217 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 3: You wonder if it's got something to do with the elbow, right, 218 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: Maybe the cutter is a little less impactful on the 219 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: elbow than the slider or the fastball. 220 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 4: You know. 221 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 3: I was listening to one of these Baseball America writers. 222 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: I can't remember who it was, but he basically said 223 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: that the fastball is the most dangerous pitch for your elbow, 224 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 3: contrary to what people have always said that it's the 225 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 3: curveball or whatever, because you're generating the most arm speed, right, 226 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: and so's that might be something where he's trying to 227 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 3: protect himself a little bit, but it hasn't been super effective. 228 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: So I mean, just from your numbers, that tells me 229 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 3: that the my eye test doesn't match the actual numbers. 230 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 3: Because I thought he was throwing the slider more this year, 231 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 3: but you're telling me he's actually thrown it less, which 232 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: is interesting. 233 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's just so surprising to me because 234 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 4: that's always been his bread and butter. His bread and 235 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 4: butter has been the fastball and then the slider low 236 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 4: and away. He's always thrown that slider low and away, 237 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 4: low in the zone, and we're just not seeing it. 238 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: And it's really disappointing to me because it's like, your 239 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 4: slider has been so effective. But like you said, I mean, 240 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 4: that injury really could be affecting him. You know, he's 241 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 4: still kind of coming off of it. You want to 242 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 4: give him some time. He probably is trying to save 243 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 4: his elbow and throwing that fastball less. I mean, as 244 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 4: long as it comes to October and he starts using 245 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 4: that fastball more and you know he can get it 246 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 4: in the ninety seven ninety eight range, then I'm not 247 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: worried about him. But if you know, he's only thrown 248 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: his cutter out October, then I think we're gonna have 249 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 4: a little bit of a problem on our hands. 250 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about Jazz. Chisholm, the newest member of 251 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 3: the New York Yankees, obviously picked up his first hit 252 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: as a Yankee last night. Also picked up his first 253 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 3: stolen base as a Yankee, I think he's gonna bring 254 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 3: lots of energy and stuff. But I wanted to dig 255 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: into kind of his behind the scenes stat cast number, 256 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: so I'm gonna put these up on the screen for us. 257 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 3: You see that he's got a batting run value in 258 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: the sixty eight percent aisle, so well over average, and 259 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: then base running values obviously in the ninety nine percent. 260 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 3: We could see that yesterday when he when he got 261 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 3: to second base, I mean, he was just he's gonna 262 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 3: be a terror on the bases, can I can tell already? 263 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: I kind of like him down near the bottom of 264 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 3: the order. I know some people want him at the 265 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: top because of the speed, but I don't want people 266 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: running in front of Judge and Soto. I just don't 267 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: want I want those guys getting the opportunity to hit. 268 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: But I like the opportunity of putting him in the 269 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: bottom half where he can run and make some noise 270 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: with his legs, where we don't necessarily need somebody to 271 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 3: get the big hit all the time, and he can 272 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: just add a little bit of value there. So what 273 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: are your thoughts on Jazz Chisholm from a stat cast perspective? 274 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 4: I mean, the guy is a pretty excellent fielder at 275 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 4: second base, not so much at center field. But between 276 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 4: twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, at second base 277 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: he had nine outs above average and seven defensive run saved. 278 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 4: That's a pretty good second basement. To have seven defensive 279 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 4: run saved between two years, you're doing something right. And 280 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: I think that's why I think he's an upgrade from Glabor, 281 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 4: because I mean, listen, love Glabor to death, but the 282 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 4: guy cannot field. We've seen how many bonehead plays he makes, 283 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 4: and he's either like Glaber is a guy who can 284 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: make a really nice play, but he's also a guy 285 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 4: that just makes a really really stupid, boneheaded play, just 286 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 4: an error that shouldn't happen. And Jazz Chism is just 287 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 4: a much more polished fielder, and as of right now, 288 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: he's a more productive hitter than Labor Torres. Glaber Torres 289 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: has an eighty five WRC plus and jas Chishm has 290 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 4: a one hundred and three WRC plus, So I think 291 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 4: he's an upgrade from Glabor. You know, when this move happened, 292 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 4: I was excited and I'm like, okay, yeah, with jas Chisholm, 293 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 4: that's that's a good get. That's a good upgrade for 294 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 4: the infield. But in a vacuum, like I said, in 295 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 4: a vacuum, this is a good move. But contextually, the 296 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 4: Yankees need to go out and do more stuff to 297 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 4: make this good move. They need to go out and 298 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 4: get like a big bopp er bat to make this 299 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: a good move because Jashchism is really just an average bat. 300 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 4: He's not really gonna change this lineup completely, Like he's 301 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 4: not going to bring that much of an offensive upgrade 302 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 4: that it changes how the lineup has been. But you 303 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: do also have to keep in mind Stan returns tonight 304 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 4: and you got Jason de mingaz way in and Triple A. 305 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think both of those guys are big bats. 306 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: Did you see Labor tor as his comments yesterday where 307 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: he just doesn't seem happy about playing third base. I mean, 308 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: I feel like he's gonna be playing second base, but 309 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: probably not for the Yankees. I think there's a trade coming. 310 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 3: Let's let's that's a good transition to the voicemail section, 311 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 3: because the first voicemail that we got right here is 312 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: about Labor Torre. So I want to play this and 313 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: then we can kind of fun glabor. 314 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: A little bit. 315 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: Hey, this is Marissa Crush off the press and I'll. 316 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: Be just posted Davis as CFA. I think the Yankees 317 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: are finally listening to us, and labor Tour has got 318 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: to go. 319 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: So people are already lining up their next uh, their 320 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 3: next target. After we got rid of JD. Davis. People 321 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 3: love seeing guys get cut and traded. I don't know why. 322 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean these guys jobs. I mean, if 323 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: you suck, I get it. JD. Davis. I was ecstatic 324 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 3: to see him gone, But glaborators, I'll actually kind of 325 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 3: be a little bit of sad, you know, I'll feel 326 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 3: a little sad because I was excited to see the 327 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 3: Yankees pick him up originally, and then when he you know, 328 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: he came up. He hit that big home run against 329 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: the Indians. You remember that a child leads them to victory. 330 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: That was one of the great calls by Michael Kay 331 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 3: thirty eight home runs during the juice ball season. We 332 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: all remember how he absolutely terrorized the Orioles, and the 333 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 3: Orioles announced I forget his name, ray Thorn, Gary Thorn, Yeah, 334 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: where he was just whenever Labor Torres came up. He's like, 335 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 3: don't even pitch to him. Don't even pitch to him. 336 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: But Labor over the years, I think has seriously regressed 337 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: as a baseball player. I'm gonna pull up his stat 338 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: cast numbers. But what do you think about possibly trading 339 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: Labor Torres over the next twenty four hours. 340 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's kind of something the Yankees 341 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: have to do. Like I hate to say it, like 342 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: you said, like we all love Glabor. He's been like debate, 343 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 4: like he was kind of like the face of the 344 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 4: baby Bomber kind of thing, like, yeah, Judge was like 345 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 4: the first baby bomber and he's a Bayer bomber, but 346 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: Glaber was like the young kid. He was like twenty 347 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 4: two when he came up, I think, And it's it's 348 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 4: especially sad because we've seen this coming for a long time, 349 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 4: Like we've seen this since probably at least from the 350 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: beginning of last year. That Glaber Torres is not gonna 351 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: be a year beyond his rookie contract. He's gonna hit 352 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 4: free agency, and I think the Jazz chis a move 353 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 4: just tells you all you need to know. Just him 354 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 4: has two and a half more years of control. He's 355 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 4: the Yankee second basement of the next two and a 356 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 4: half years, and the Yankees just don't seem to have 357 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 4: any intent to bring Klaber back. And while that's sad, 358 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 4: like we love Labor, his bat has kind of taken 359 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 4: a dip, and his fielding has just never really been there. 360 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 4: He's had good moments of being a good fielder, but 361 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 4: this year, no, he hasn't been a good bet. This year. 362 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 4: He takes the field to his at bats too, like 363 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 4: he lets it affect him mentally. And I think he 364 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 4: gets traded over the next twenty four hours because he's 365 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 4: a free agent at the end of the year and 366 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 4: you already got your second basement replacement. You gotta get 367 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: value for him while you can. You can't just let 368 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: him walk. You can get a few prospects for him, 369 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 4: or maybe you package him for some kind of upgrade 370 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 4: somewhere else on that field, whether it's in the bullpen 371 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 4: or whether it's another infielder. 372 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: Who knows. 373 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, yesterday he said I'm a second basement and I 374 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 3: was like, are you? Though? Are you? 375 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 4: I thought that was a bad Like I didn't see 376 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 4: the full quote, but just just to say that with 377 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: everything going on, like you kind of guy to make 378 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 4: yourself available. Man, if someone tells you you're going to play 379 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: third base, you gotta play third base. 380 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: It's your job, right. So I take another voice, Derek, 381 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 3: this is Booker. 382 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm not feeling good about this trade. 383 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 2: Anything that Cashmine does I don't feel good about because 384 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: he's usually not good at it when it comes to 385 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: trading and measuring talent. We gave away a good catching, 386 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: a good hitting catching prospect for a two forty nine hitter. 387 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, so what are your thoughts on trading away Augustine Ramirez. 388 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that was kind of why I had 389 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 4: a little bit of a mixed reaction to when they 390 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 4: traded for Jazz, because yeah, he's he's an upgrade and 391 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 4: he has control. I just didn't know how much of 392 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 4: an upgrade he was and how much he changes the 393 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 4: current lineup. But I was especially like mixed and a 394 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: little bit sad about it because I do love Augustin Ramirez. 395 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 4: I thought he's a phenomenal not a phenomenal prospect, but 396 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 4: a very good prospect. He hits the crap out of 397 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 4: the ball. He has some of the best eggs of 398 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 4: velocity numbers among minor league hitters. I think he has 399 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 4: a nine hundred something ops this year. But the thing 400 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 4: is about Augustin Ramirez is his glove has never really 401 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 4: been there. There's always been questions about if he can 402 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: really like be a catcher in the major leagues. And 403 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 4: that's the thing about catching prospects. It takes a long 404 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: time to develop their glove. So while he was in 405 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: Triple A, it don't really know how his outlook would 406 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 4: have been. And you know, with the emergence of Austin 407 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: Wells and Ben Rice, you know, showing signs of playing 408 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 4: pretty well at first base, there didn't really seem to 409 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 4: be room for him. And Augusta Ramirez is kind of 410 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,159 Speaker 4: a prospect that started to become more popular and you know, 411 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: more someone that people keep their eyes on just this 412 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 4: past season. Really, I mean people were starting to look 413 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 4: at him last season and see how good he was. 414 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 4: But I think his value is, you know, kind of 415 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: the highest it was going to be right now. My 416 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 4: only thing is I think they could have gotten a 417 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 4: little bit more value out of him. I think they 418 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 4: could have gotten a little bit more than jazztism for him. 419 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 4: But you know, it's a seller's market this year in 420 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 4: the trade deadline. 421 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 3: We'll take it, So throw Central says. Thoughts on YONDI 422 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: Diaz haven't said anything about him yet. I talked about 423 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: him a little bit on Foul Territory when I was 424 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 3: on on Saturday. I'm just so hesitant to trade with 425 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Rays because I feel like they're gonna 426 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: fleece us no matter what happens. I feel like, whoever 427 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 3: we trade away, they're going to turn into a stud, 428 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 3: and that stud is going to come back and cream 429 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 3: us for the next ten years. So, I mean, I 430 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 3: like Yandi Diaz. I call him Yandy Biceps, But yeah, 431 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: I don't know about that. I kind of like Ben Rice. 432 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: He's been having some better at bats. I know, he's like, 433 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: you know, six for fifty three or something like that, 434 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 3: but he's been hitting the ball hard. He's hitting some 435 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 3: bad luck, he's had some doubles. He's shown the clutch. 436 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 3: He had that big three run home run against Baltimore 437 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 3: and then against Boston the other the ninety hits one 438 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 3: off the wall for a double that ended up being 439 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: a huge run. So any thoughts on on Yandy Diaz, 440 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 3: I mean, I can't imagine that you're on board with 441 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 3: replacing Ben Rice with Yandy Diaz. 442 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know me, I'm a big Ben 443 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 4: Rice guy. As you said, he's been struggling a bit 444 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 4: as of late. You know, he's always gonna have with problems. 445 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 4: He's always gonna have strikeout problems. But the good thing 446 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 4: is he's still smoking the ball. He still has like 447 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 4: a twenty percent barrel rate, which is still outstanding. And 448 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 4: I'm just I'm not crazy about the Yandi Diaz idea. 449 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 4: I think, you know, beggars kind of can't be choosers 450 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 4: right now. I think Yandy Diaz would really help this lineup. 451 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 4: My only thing on him is, you know, you can 452 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 4: play him at first base, you can play him at 453 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: third base. He's not a good fielder at all. He 454 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: has like last year in twenty twenty two, at third 455 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 4: base he had negative eight eight outs above average. He's 456 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 4: a terrible, terrible fielder. He has negative one outs of 457 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 4: average at first base this year, negative five last year. 458 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 4: I'm not sure that's really a good pairing with the Yankees, 459 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 4: considering their infield defense has been a little bit shaky 460 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 4: this year. But you know, jash Chisholm wasn't a defensive 461 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 4: upgrade Volpies a gold glover. But yeah, I'm not too 462 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 4: crazy about Yandy Diaz. But if the Yankees traded for him, 463 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be mad. But like you said, I would 464 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 4: be a little suspect trading with the Rays, because you know, 465 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 4: why do they want to get rid of Yandy Dia 466 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 4: is so bad? And why what prospects do you want 467 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 4: so bad? And why do you want them? And why 468 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 4: do we not want them? 469 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 2: Vote what do. 470 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: You know that we don't exactly? That terrifies. We've got 471 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 3: a couple more voicemails. Full disclosure, I have not listened 472 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: to these yet because, as I was telling Aiden, I 473 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: have not been sleeping good during the trade deadline. You know, 474 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 3: I wake up and I just I wake up at 475 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: four thirty in the morning, and I'm checking the Twitter feed, 476 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 3: and so when I wake up for the final time 477 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 3: around you know, seven am, I'm just completely out of it. 478 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,959 Speaker 3: So I've been kind of dragging this morning. I've had 479 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: a couple cups of coffee, took a walk, but I 480 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: have not gone through the voicemails like I usually use. 481 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 3: Let's let's hope there's not a whole lot of F 482 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 3: bombs in this one. 483 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek Chain Chain, Well, just as the Yanks start 484 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: maybe moving after two months of lackluster play and only 485 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 2: being in it because Baltimore is lackluster. Two Yeah, wouldn't 486 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 2: you know, Stanton comes back to drag the Yanks down. 487 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 2: I'll come on another months again, hopefully change. I guess 488 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: I don't understand trading pitching when we need pitching, unless 489 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 2: we're going to trade pitching for pitching. Maybe that would help. 490 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 2: And Cabrera is good trade product and he deserves a 491 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 2: chance to play every day with somebody. So yeah, maybe 492 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: we could get some pitching for him. Well, thanks for 493 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: the program. Oh one of your guests you had on 494 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, you guys were talking about 495 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: the Yankees relaxing. Maybe they're facial and hair length rules. See, 496 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 2: that's the last thing I'd want to see, because, Man, 497 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: if you think I'm pissed off when somebody like rodon 498 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 2: Or Cortes pitches the way that they've been pitching most 499 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 2: of the year, boy, I'd really be pissed off if 500 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 2: they're out there on the mound worried about the way 501 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: their hair looks. 502 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I imagine somebody getting shelled with a beard, that 503 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 3: would be the end of the world. But I appreciate 504 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: the call change. Chain's always interesting. I think he sounds 505 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 3: like Hulkgan. But yeah, I mean, I don't want to 506 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 3: be too hard on Stanton because he has actually had 507 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 3: a really good year until he got hurt. He had 508 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 3: eighteen home runs. I'm a little worried he's gonna slump 509 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 3: a little bit when he comes back, because he always 510 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: seems like he does that. I think tonight's gonna be critical, 511 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 3: like if he gets a big hit right away and 512 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 3: starts feeling good, and look for his balance, like how 513 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 3: he fouls balls off, like if he if he's falling 514 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 3: off balance after he fouls a pitch off or swings 515 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: and this is you know he's not right. But if 516 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 3: you see that stable lower half, I think that tells 517 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: you that he's feeling good and he's gonna hit. What 518 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: do you think? 519 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think we should give Stan a 520 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 4: little bit of leash, at least for this first series 521 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 4: because he didn't have a rehab assignment, so you do 522 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 4: want to give him a little bit of time. And 523 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna be harsh on him either, because, like 524 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 4: you said, he had eighteen home runs before he went down, 525 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 4: and he was pretty crucial protection to Judge and Sodo. 526 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 4: Like you can almost see like this cold streak for 527 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 4: the Yankees really like kicked in when they when Stanton 528 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 4: went down because people weren't thrown to Soto and Judge anymore, 529 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 4: because you don't have to throw to stand either. You 530 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: can tell you can you know, say what you want 531 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 4: about staying over the past few seasons. Oh, he's injury prone, 532 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 4: and he did have that bad year last year, but 533 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 4: he's always a power threat. He still is one of 534 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 4: the hardest hitters in baseball. He still smokes the ball, 535 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 4: and pitchers are afraid of him. They don't care that 536 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 4: he had a bad season last year. Pitchers don't want 537 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 4: to pitch to Drincarlo Stand so to you know, he's 538 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 4: he's a pretty big part of this lineup. But I 539 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 4: think we give him a little bit of leash just 540 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 4: for this first series or two. But he's very important. 541 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: All right, final voicemail. Then we're gonna call him a 542 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 3: day and wait for some trades to break. 543 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: Hey, it's Matt calling in. After seeing the box score 544 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: from tonight, I saw comment earlier today about how we 545 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: could have did higher for parades and gotten him at third. 546 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: But knowing that we're gonna need more pieces by the 547 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: deadline in a day and a half, what is there 548 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: to trade for the Yankees? Like Labor's heating up, Ridugo's 549 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: heating up. Boone said they were seeing good signals, and 550 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: we saw them tonight. If they stay hot, you don't 551 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: get rid of them. But with those those cards they've 552 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: got this season, they're not worth much. And the farm 553 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with Dominguez isn't going anywhere. And Jones, 554 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: they said, is off the table. So what does Cashman 555 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: have to work with? Thanks love the show piece, all. 556 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 3: Right, appreciate it. I mean there's a lot of guys 557 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 3: in the minor leagues that the Yankees could deal that 558 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: maybe we haven't you know, examined full. I mean, any 559 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 3: prospects that are in the top twenty. I think teams 560 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: would definitely have scouts on. You know, I don't see 561 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: them trading Dimngez or Jones like you said, But I 562 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 3: think Roderick Arius could be a major trade piece. I mean, 563 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 3: number one international signee. He's not having a great year, 564 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 3: but he's only nineteen years old. He's got a ton 565 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 3: of talent switch hitter. What are your thoughts? 566 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't. I actually don't think Spencer 567 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 4: Jones is completely off the table. I know that Yank 568 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 4: like it's been rumored that he's, you know, off the table. 569 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 4: He's been rumored off the table since the off season. 570 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 4: But I think that's a little bit of negotiation through 571 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 4: the media. Like, I don't think the Yankees are excited 572 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 4: about Spencer Jones as much as they say they are. 573 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 4: I think they are, but you know, he's got some 574 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 4: strikeout problems, he's got some ground ball problems. He's been 575 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 4: kind of struggling in Double A this year. So I 576 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if they could trade him while his 577 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 4: value is high. But there are plenty of prospects in 578 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 4: the system that they could could trade for. You know, 579 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 4: somebody on the market. You know, you got Will Warren, 580 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 4: you got Chase Hampton, Clayton Beider went down, So I 581 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 4: don't really think you can trade him, same with ever 582 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 4: Sin Pereira. But there's some hitter, there's some hitters. There's 583 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 4: some pitchers in their farm that they could trade. I 584 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 4: think teams around the league do like Yankees pitching prospects 585 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 4: because their pitching development has been pretty solid over the 586 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 4: past few seasons. But yeah, there's options for them out there, 587 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 4: but you know time's ticking too. But same with Glaber 588 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 4: and Dugo. I think they're definitely on the table for 589 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 4: a trade too, because you know, Ferdugo does have a 590 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: replacement in Jason Domingoz, and right could get value for 591 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 4: him while you can. 592 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I also I would not be shocked to see 593 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: the Yankees deal Nester to Cortes. I know that he 594 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: has not been great lately. But you got Cody Potique 595 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: coming back, you got Clark Schmidt coming back. A lot 596 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: of teams need arms. Like you said, it's a seller's market. 597 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 3: I think you can probably get over value for a 598 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 3: guy who is a left handed pitcher who can pitch 599 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 3: both in the rotation and the bullpen. Maybe you get 600 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 3: him a little bit of rest and he can really 601 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: kind of, you know, dial it up down the stretch. 602 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see what happens over the 603 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 3: next twenty four hours. So we got a somebody trying 604 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 3: to make my prediction for me, says JD says no 605 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 3: stra Derek prediction Stanton golden sombrero. I'm gonna say no 606 00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 3: on that. Actually, my my Nostra Derek prediction tonight is 607 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: Juan Soto. I think Wan Soto is going deep. He's been. 608 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 3: He's to me, he's he's squaring the ball up good. 609 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: He just has not uh, he's not going on that 610 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 3: hot streak like he had before his injury. And I 611 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 3: think he's due. You know, he had that big home 612 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 3: run a couple of days ago in Boston, and you 613 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: know against Philadelphia, he's facing Zach Wheeler tonight. That's a 614 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 3: good challenge for him. He seems to hit well against 615 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: good pitchers, like he gets up for it. So he's 616 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 3: my prediction tonight. Wan so going deep. You got any predictions. 617 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 4: My prediction tonight? You know what I'm I'm gonna I'm 618 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 4: gonna be a little fun jazz Chizen. Three hit game. 619 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 4: I think he three hits game, double and double and 620 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,239 Speaker 4: two singles. Maybe not three hits. Two hits would be 621 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 4: the safer bet, so multi hit. I do have a 622 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 4: trade prediction, and I want to get your Nora dek 623 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 4: trade prediction. Sure you know what happens in the next 624 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 4: twenty four hours. I think the Yankees are gonna trade 625 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: for Jonathan India and some kind of reliever. We haven't 626 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 4: heard of it yet. 627 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say Matt Chapman out of nowhere, out of left, 628 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 3: out of left field to play third base. He's a 629 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: he's a great glove, he's got power. He's a threat. 630 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 3: Like even if he doesn't hit for a high average. 631 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: The Yankees don't really care about average, even though they 632 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 3: say they do. I think having a little bit of 633 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 3: extra pop, like you said, a big bopper in that 634 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 3: lineup who's just a threat. And also we know what 635 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: he can do defensively. He's not gonna cost a ton 636 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: because he makes a little bit of money, so you 637 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: can probably get him for like a couple of mid 638 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 3: level prospects. I think I think he's my out of 639 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 3: nowhere prediction. 640 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 4: So I hope you're right. You're right, he'd be awesome 641 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 4: on this team. 642 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: All right, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for watching.
