1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 1: All right. It is Friday, August fifteenth, and the Yankees. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: We're in the Midwest to take on the Saint Louis 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: Cardinals in game one of a weekend three game series. 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: Louise Heel on the mound, trying to fill the wind 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: column for the first time this year. My recoup and 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstrike Territory him 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: to talk if well, all right, how's it going, everybody, 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: how's it going? Welcome back? Thank you for spending your 9 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: Friday night with me. I am happy to report that 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: Louise Heel finally did get into the win column, the 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: real deal, for the first time this year and for 12 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: the second outing in a row. I thought he looked 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: really solid. Five and a third innings of pretty good baseball. 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the control wasn't phenomenal tonight. He had three 15 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: walks in four strikeouts. We'll spotlight him more in a minute. 16 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: To me, there was another story, and that is Cody 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Bellinger just flashing the leather again tonight. Great play at 18 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: first base, great play in left field. To end the game, 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: we had a really big relief outing by Mark Leider. 20 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Came in and got a big, big double play. Dovall 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: not so good, gave up a couple of runs, kind 22 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: of let Saint Louis back in. Yankees led early and 23 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: then they kind of let the Cardinals make it interesting. 24 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: And my fingernails are suffering from that. But let's get 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: to the recap and then we'll spotlight Luis Hell. And 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: then we got Frankie Baseball joining us tonight. So the 27 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: Yankees did jump out to an early lead. Double for 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Ben Rice. I thought it was interesting that Ben Rice 29 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: got the start again behind the plate. He seems to 30 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: be taking more and more starts away from Austin Wells, 31 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: who was obviously our opening day catcher. Let off the 32 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: season with a home run, but Wells, to be fair, 33 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: has not performed. He's hitting two six. He got a 34 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: six to seventy two OPS. So they continue to play 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: Ben Rice, and if Ben Rice is gonna hit, he's 36 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: gonna continue to get it. Bat Sin tonight a multi 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: hit game. He at his twentieth double. He did allow 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: a pitch to get by in a big spot, but 39 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: two thirty five average on the season seven eighty five OPS. 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: You like him to be hitting for a higher average, 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: but the OPS is good and it's over one hundred 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: points higher than well, so I expect him to continue 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: to get at bats and reps behind the dish. So 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: regular visitors of the channel and of the podcast will 45 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: know that right before a weekend series. For the last 46 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: month or so, we've been doing the DraftKings' home run picks, 47 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: and one of my home run picks for this weekend 48 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: was Jazz Chisholm, and I'm happy to report destiny has 49 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: been fulfilled. 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: That is destiny fulfilled. 51 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: Twenty one home runs for mister Jazz Chisholm, who I 52 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: thought was putting it together. Now. Obviously we don't want 53 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: him to be solely a home run hitter, but it 54 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: is good that you know he can hit home runs. 55 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: He can steal bases. He's stole another base today. He 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: has eighteen stolen bases. He's gonna go twenty twenty, not 57 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: quite gonna go thirty thirty, but having a very solid year. 58 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: Now on the season, Jazz Chisholm hitting two forty with 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: an eight to eleven ops. You'd like, again the average 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: to be higher, but that's the game that we watch 61 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: these days, right, I mean, guys just don't hit two 62 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: ninety three hundred that often. Anymore so. I mean, it's 63 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 1: the game we live with. It's mostly about home runs 64 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: and athleticism. But Jazz Chisholm continuing to swing the batwell, 65 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: couple of ribbees and you know, early early strike, but 66 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: it it made the day today. Bellinger, he began the 67 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: day at first base, turn a beautiful three six three, 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: and wherever you put him, he does something great. Phenomenal 69 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: play in left field as well. I gotta say it, 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: and I've been saying it a lot lately. Might be 71 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: time to extend him. That's me and his money. We'll 72 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: talk about this with well with Frankie Baseball. I see 73 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: him jamming off screen to the sound effects. But yeah, Bellinger, 74 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: another great night. Exactly the type of player this organization needs. 75 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: Don't just pay him, clone him. See if you can 76 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: figure out how to recreate Bellinger in a lab because 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: the demand. No matter where you put him, does a 78 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: great job. Great offensive player, great defensive player. He's got 79 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: an ops over eight hundred hustles. Good guy, love him. 80 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: Jason Dominguez finally back in the lineup time after a 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: few days off. He had an RBI single and the 82 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: third inning, beautiful piece of hitting. He went one for 83 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: four tonight. Also struck out a couple of times, also 84 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: over slid second base, and we got to call in 85 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: about this. He does tend to slide past the base. 86 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: I can remember the happening a couple of times. I 87 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: think he waits a little bit too long to slide. 88 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: But Kenny, get out of here. I got a cat 89 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: chewing on some cords underneath the desk, trying to sabotage 90 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the show. I'll tell you these cats, they are getting 91 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: more and more. You guys remember when they were kittens. Well, 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: now they're starting to become full on criminals. Anyway, Dominguez 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: should have had second base stolen, but he overslid the bag. 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: Luisio I thought through the ball really well. We'll talk 95 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: more about him in just a second. Big moment in 96 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: the game came with Mark Leider getting a double play 97 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: to get out of a jam in the sixth inning. 98 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: Fantastic job for him. Seventh, the Yankees had runners on 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: first and second. Pitcher throws a pickoff play to second base. 100 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: Nobody was there, almost decapitated. Cabal Aro would have been 101 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: the first player in Major League history to get decapitated 102 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: on second base, So congratulations to him. But he was 103 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: able to avoid it. Camillo Duval struggled tonight. I think 104 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: I just called him Duval dovall. Look, you see why 105 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees got him. Throws one hundred, has nasty stuff, 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: But you also see why they haven't used him in 107 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: like the highest of high leverage situations. Command just isn't 108 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: quite there yet. And again tonight, gave up two runs, 109 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: a couple of runs, give up a walk, gave up 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: a hit, got a three point four to four e ra, 111 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: a one point three zero whip. But I like his stuff. 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: I hope that Matt Blake can turn him into an 113 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: actual picture instead of right now what he is, which 114 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: is a thrower who relies on stuff. And then of 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: course David Bednar came in and shut things down in 116 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: the ninth, got a couple of strikeouts, but also got 117 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: a fantastic catch from Cody Bellinger in left field, and 118 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: the Yankees take game one. Ray Tappy it says, it 119 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: almost looks like the Yankees we're gonna let that one 120 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: slip away. I agree, I was. I was holding on tight. 121 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: You know, I have trouble sitting still when a game 122 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: is close like that, And you know I'm sitting here 123 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm fidgeting with my markers, taking the cap 124 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: on and off, and I'm readjusting the things on my desk. 125 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: I just can't sit still. I'm a nervous wreck. And 126 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: game like tonight, But when the Yankees win. I know 127 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: a lot of you are new and have not been 128 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: around for a lot of Yankees wins. But when the 129 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Yankees win, we give out a little award here. It's 130 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: called the Belt, and we give it out after each game. 131 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: And tonight the winner of the Belt, mister Jazz Chisholm 132 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: two run shot, and he is your new sole leader 133 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: in the clubhouse. Eight belts on the season Freed and 134 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: rodn with seven, Grisham with six, Bellinger with five, Judge 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: with four and a half. Who would have thought Judge 136 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: would be this far down, especially given the numbers Warren, Rice, Dominga, Schmidt, Well, 137 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: Stanton All with three, scar and Yarborough with two, and 138 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: then Oswaldo, Cabrera Carrasco Volti. If you other guys who 139 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: aren't even on the team, God Marcus Stroman, Ryan McMahon 140 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: and David Bednar bringing up the rear. Let's talk about 141 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: Louis Hell so Louis he was able to get his 142 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: era down tonight. It's actually five point one four. I'm 143 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna ahead adjust that real quick. It did not update 144 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: on my screen, so I gotta do it manually. But 145 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: one point sixty four whips, so the numbers rounding intok place. 146 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: He only threw eighty three pitches tonight, which is fairly efficient, 147 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: and fifty of them were strikes, but he didn't get 148 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: the length that we necessarily wanted. He went five and 149 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: a third, four hits, one run, three walks, four strikeouts. 150 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: I thought he threw the ball well. He showed flashes 151 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,119 Speaker 1: of it in his last outing. We saw the good fastball, 152 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: we saw a couple of really excellent cutters, we saw 153 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: some good sliders, and for the most part, like I said, 154 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: he was efficient. I thought he was gonna go deeper 155 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: in the game quick hook. It did seem like he 156 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: kind of was hitting the wall a little bit in 157 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: the sixth inning, and that could just be like not 158 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: being in great shape at this point because he was 159 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: out for so long. But I thought he really hit 160 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: his groove in about the fourth inning. He had a 161 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: couple of strikeouts. Really nice performance by the rookie of 162 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: the year, first win in good season. All right, so 163 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: let's go ahead, and it's just a reaction. Let's go 164 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: ahead and talk with our guy, mister Frankie Baseball, Franklin 165 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: Delano Baseball, How you doing, man? 166 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: I am doing pretty good. And this could have been 167 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: an absolute disaster of a night. All we had all 168 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: the makings of it well early on if you thought, well, 169 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: if the Guardians win and the Yankees lose, it could 170 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: have been terrible. But then early on the Jazz home 171 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: run calmed our nerves a little bit, and then it 172 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 2: all it could have gotten worse, but fortunately and up 173 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: for nothing there the bullpen. You start to, oh, gosh, 174 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 2: here we go again, but ben Nard closed the deal. 175 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: Bellinger makes a couple of great catches, and we survive, 176 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: and we gained just a little bit ground on that 177 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 2: third wild card spot there between us and the Guardians. 178 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: So good night in Yankee. 179 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: Land, Frankie. I'm afraid of a I'm afraid of driving 180 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: over really high bridges that go on for a long time, 181 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: because I feel like the wind is gonna pick up 182 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: and it's gonna force me right over the bridge. I'm 183 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 1: afraid of poisonous snakes, because I don't want to get 184 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: bit and suffer in agonizing pain and die like that 185 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: scene in Kill Bill. And I'm really really terrified of 186 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees having a lead and seeing Aaron Boone walk 187 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: out to the mound and point at the bullpen and 188 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: seeing Devin Williams jog in. I live in fear. Do 189 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: you think we're gonna see that again at all this year? 190 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Or have we finally learned? Have we finally hit enough 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: icebergs that the captain of the Titanic is gonna slow 192 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: down and maybe take some precautions. 193 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: I want to believe that Boone has finally wised up 194 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: and realized that this can't happen anymore. But do you 195 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: trust him? Do any Yankee fan trust him? Does any 196 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: Yankee fan thing that this love affair with Devin Williams 197 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: wasn't gonna continue? Like I think Bennar is the main 198 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: closer for now, I can't he has to be. But 199 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if anytime in the next 200 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 2: couple of weeks Boone just says, Ah, we used Bednar yesterday. 201 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: Let's put Devon in there in a one run game 202 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: in the night inning. We're not surprise any of us, 203 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: and let's just hope it doesn't come to that point, 204 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: because there's other guys we don't need to keep going 205 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: to Devin Williams. I remember we had a talk. I 206 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: think it was in May. We talked about would did 207 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: the Peter Alonzo home run ruined? Devin Williams. I think 208 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 2: you time said it was a little too early to tell. 209 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say now, and maybe maybe 210 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 2: playing in New York has that, you know, just a 211 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 2: different mentality, but he is clearly not the same picture. 212 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: Whatever is happening is the brad Ledge effect. He has 213 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: been completely mostly useless for us all season long and 214 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: has shown here recently, and just thank god that for 215 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: now we don't have to go is David Bennar is 216 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 2: our closer, and that is the way it should be. 217 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: But don't be surprised that Farren Boone just decides to 218 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: throw it out there for old times. Bring Debbie out there. 219 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: I like the comment somebody just made bed Inar bulldog. 220 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: He really does have that bulldog kind of mentality. I 221 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: was looking for the sound effect that we had last 222 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: year from Verdugo had that dog in him. I guess 223 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: we'll have to I guess we'll have to bring that 224 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: one out of retirement. Frankie, I'm loving the Bednar pickup. 225 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: I wish we could have gotten more out of Jake Bird. 226 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: I think he's got a good slider, but you know, 227 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 1: obviously he needs to refine the command a little bit. 228 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: You can't throw it down the middle every time. Doval 229 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 1: I think has a chance to be a really good pitcher, 230 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: But right now, as I said in the monologue, he's 231 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: more of a thrower than a pitcher to me. Like 232 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's gotten by on amazing stuff. I mean, 233 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: he throws a one hundred and one right, and he's 234 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: got a weird, funky arm angle. What I want is 235 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: for Matt Blake to team up with him and figure 236 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: out a way to kind of turn him into a 237 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: deadly weapon. Right, and he's got the stuff. Now it's 238 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: on the pitching coach and the coaching staff to coach 239 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: him up. Here's another thing I'm afraid of, Frankie. I'm 240 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 1: afraid this team is gonna do just well enough to 241 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: get to the wild card round. Go maybe one and two, 242 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: or you know, or you know, lose very early. Maybe 243 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: they win a first round. Maybe they lose in the 244 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: secon around something like that, and we're gonna be right 245 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: back here with Boone and Cashman next year. It's gonna 246 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: be the same stuff, same approach. Do you share that phobia. 247 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: Yes, But I'm also thinking they're not going to fire 248 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: Boone and Cashman anyway, Like what could possibly be done 249 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: that would make how fire Boone? And I just don't 250 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: see it. I think they're family at this point, especially Cashman, 251 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 2: and Cashman seems to love Boonie. Defended him today and 252 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 2: that was that was really just the news you want 253 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: to hear on a Friday, is Cashman coming out there 254 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: and defending Aaron Boone, and it just already made me. 255 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: It already made me feel like you were gonna lose 256 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: today just seeing those quotes, just realizing that this never ends. 257 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter. They're gonna keep them anyway. I 258 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: don't see a situation in which anyone here is fired. 259 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: So I figured, if the solution here is either we 260 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 2: make the playoffs and we get knocked out in the 261 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 2: wild card, or we miss the playoffs but we end 262 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: up in the same place, which is nothing changes, I 263 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 2: might as well make the postseason again, even though it 264 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: will not be I agree with you. I don't see 265 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: the team make me it past the wildcut round. I 266 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: don't see it with that. There's too many flaws in 267 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: this team, too many holes. And you gotta hope that 268 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 2: the pitching is able to turn it on here. And yeah, 269 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: you worry about some of the guys in the pen, 270 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: and you, of course, Debbie, you hope that bon doesn't 271 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: as we talked about, you want Boon to bring him 272 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: out there. Again, there's just too many question marks right now. 273 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: I don't see this team getting past the division around. 274 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: But stranger things have happened in baseball. But this team 275 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: has got a lot. Even with tonight's win, this team 276 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: has a lot to do to win over fans and 277 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: make a stunt that we're back on the right truck. 278 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: So we got to comment here from Brian Bashman, who says, 279 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: has anyone noticed that even Michael Kay has turned on 280 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone. I've noticed that, Like he's definitely taken like 281 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: a firmer stance on Boone and pointed out some of 282 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: the contradictions more than he has in recent years. And 283 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: I think part of that is, like you got to 284 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: speak to your audience, right I mean, to a certain degree, 285 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: if your audience is entirely aligned with something, if you 286 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: take a stance against that, you could lose some of 287 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: your audience. And I'm I'm typically okay with that, right, 288 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to my audience isn't big enough for 289 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: that really to matter. If I lose a few people 290 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: here there, I'll gain a few others. But cash or 291 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: but Kay has really got to toe that line, right, 292 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: And also, you know he works for the Yankees, so 293 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: it's odd for him to criticize the manager. They don't 294 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: like that kind of criticism. But I think that in 295 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: general New York fans are are have been kind of suffering, 296 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: and it was nice to have a reprieve tonight, but 297 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: still not feeling great. Mets fans They've got a tough man. 298 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: They're they're kind of looking like we were for a 299 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: little while there. They lost again today. Soto has thirty 300 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: home runs. I mean, he's having a good year, but 301 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: all years people ranting and raving about him. Lindoor hit 302 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: a couple of home runs today. But Frankie, what do 303 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: you what are your thoughts on the mets sudden inability? 304 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Is it the pitching? 305 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: You think I definitely think of the pitching, and I 306 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: will say it has been the only good thing about 307 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 2: the last couple of months of baseball is that while 308 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: we have truly the most part sucked, at least the 309 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: Mets have sucked right with us. 310 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: Rodgers have stucked too. 311 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: Raising three of I would argue, the five or six 312 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: teams that we went into the season thinking these teams 313 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 2: are gonna win the World Series, all three of them 314 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 2: have had terrible summers the Dodgers, and the Dodgers are 315 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: out of the division lead, and we've talked about the 316 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: Yankees here. The Mets are falling apart uh the other 317 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: two teams. I woul think the Braves and Orioles have 318 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: also had they were out of it before the Seeds start. 319 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: But I think the only team that from the beginning 320 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: of the year that you can say has been consistent, 321 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: that a World Series contender that has been consistent is 322 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: the Phillies, which is why they're right now. 323 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: Who is your World Series pick? Like before they. 324 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: The Dodgers, it was the Dodgers. I think it was 325 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: just too obvious. 326 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: But I picked and they're fifty four and sixty eight now, 327 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: so just absolutely wild. But baseball. 328 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: Frankie can't predict baseball absolutely, But back to the Mets here. Yeah, 329 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: they're pitching right now has been awful. They cannot get 330 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 2: any length out of these guys. The bullpen has not 331 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: been very strong. I mean they have blown I cannot 332 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: even Mets fans can tell us how many games they've 333 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: blown here in the last couple months. It's unbelievable. Again tonight, 334 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: they had a two run lead that Lindor and Soto 335 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: hit back to back. Everyone's feel good about stuff, and 336 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 2: then the bullpen comes in and blows it again. My 337 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: potential future brother in law is a Mets fan, and 338 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 2: he got my sister to be a Mets fan, and 339 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 2: so it has been it has been fun to text 340 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: him over the last couple of day week the weeks, 341 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: just be like, hey, you suck, and then I'll respond, well, 342 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: you suck too. So it's it's a very bonding experience 343 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: between the two of us here. But we're looking at 344 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 2: the possibility here after tonight, maybe you know it's a 345 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: little bit less so, but we're looking at the possibility 346 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: of there being no postseason baseball in New York in October. 347 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: And you could have gotten a billion to one odds 348 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 2: on that. There was no way that anyone thought that was, 349 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: let alone one team both of them. So you hope 350 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: that for the sake of the city, because the city, 351 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 2: we know how much they love their sports. You hope 352 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 2: that someone can get in for our sake. It's the Yankees, 353 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 2: but not looking good for either, especially the Mets right now. 354 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: They are just they're just free falling and it looks 355 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: like there's no there's no way out, especially with all 356 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: the blow leeds I've had. 357 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: Well, Frankie, I want to thank you for stopping by. 358 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: We love having you on.

All right, 385 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: I know a lot of you disappointed that we don't 386 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: wear the victory hat. When I've got a guest on 387 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: because it doesn't fit over the headphone. So I like 388 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: to demonstrate it and at least have it make an appearance. 389 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: But no victory hat on my head tonight. But it 390 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: is still here on my desk where it belongs. But hey, 391 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: good night for the Yankees. You got to be a 392 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: little bit worried that Aaron Judge has continued to struggle 393 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: over four tonight. He did draw a walk. I mean, 394 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: he's still hitting three thirty with a one point one 395 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: two two ohps, still got thirty eight home runs. But 396 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: he's really slowed down, and you have to worry that, 397 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, perhaps that elbow's given him more trouble than 398 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: we want to believe. Uh, you know, cab I Arrow 399 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: had a couple of hits tonight, played a nice game. 400 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: McMahon had a base, hitting a couple of walks. I'm 401 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: still waiting on McMahon to hit that first home run 402 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: as a new or Yankee. And then ericcom says he 403 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: thinks he's walking so much that really messes with Judge's timing. 404 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, I mean, it can't be hard, It can't 405 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: be easy to only get a couple of pitches to 406 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: hit a game, right, it's gotta be tougher to get 407 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 1: yourself out of a slump. Wade Carlson says, stay afloat 408 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: until Judge turns back into Judge. Let's hope that happens soon. 409 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: Let's hope he gets back in the outfield soon too. 410 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: It's tough to not have Stanton in the lineup, especially 411 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: after a day off when you know he's rested, know 412 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: that he's hitting and he's been deadly, and not having 413 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: him in there is tough. And tonight the Yankees had 414 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities with runners on base and couldn't 415 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: get it done. So you know, they managed to win 416 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: the game. Again. It was a home run that made 417 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: a difference. And tonight some defense, you know, made a 418 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: difference from Bellinger and some big outs from Bednar. So 419 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: little things coming through getting it done. Yankees win one 420 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: more time. Yeah, we had somebody complaining that we were 421 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: talking about the Mets. Aren't we allowed to revel in 422 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: the Mets fans misery on this channel? I mean, well, 423 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: first of all, we're allowed to do whatever the hell 424 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: we want on this channel except show clips from Jaws apparently. 425 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: But we are just engaging in a little bit of 426 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: showden fraud is that? What is the showd and froud? 427 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: Whatever it is where you take happiness in the suffering 428 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: of others, which we are doing with the Mets fans 429 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers fans, because we have been suffering ourselves. 430 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: And you know what, misery loves company. Speaking of company, 431 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: I got a friend over. We were having a fire. 432 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: I took a little break. I was watching the game 433 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: outside on the fire by the fire on my iPad, 434 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: ran out to do the show, and now I'm gonna 435 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: go back down and have a cigar and glass of 436 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: wine and call it a week.
