1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody. 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 2: I read a report last night about how AI is 3 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: projected to take a lot of people's jobs, which begs 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 2: the question, can we start with the Yankees' pitchers? Welcome back, everybody, 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's kind of a short podcast last night. 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: I usually try and keep the podcast to, you know, 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 2: commute length twenty twenty five minutes, but as I said 8 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 2: in the comments, it's tough to spread out a three 9 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: hit performance in which you were down five nothing before 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: you recorded an out defensively over twenty minutes. The game 11 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: was over right away and the Yankees had very little 12 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: chance of coming back to win. You just can't make 13 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: chicken salad out of chicken shit. So it was a 14 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: little short, but that happens from time to time. The 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: Yankees have now fall into second place in the American 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: League East by percentage points, and because they have a 17 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: tie breaker with the Oriols and the Orioles have that 18 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: tide breaker advantage, they would be the ALIAS champions if 19 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 2: the season ended today. But it is not too late 20 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: to get this train back on the tracks. 21 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: Baby. 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: We should be able to do it. There is a 23 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: still a lot of baseball left. We still got July, August, 24 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,479 Speaker 2: and September to make a run. It should be cleared though, 25 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: to everybody who chastised Yankees' commenters and podcasters like me, 26 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 2: that was sounding the alarm a couple of weeks ago 27 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 2: when this team began to struggle that hey, this seems 28 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: very thin. You know, we start to lose guys via injuries, 29 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: start to have guys that completely fall off the map, 30 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: like Rizzo did, like DJ did. It's gonna be tough 31 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: to recover because you knew Judge and Sodo weren't going 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: to be red hot all season long. Out Judge playing 33 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: pretty well, obviously playing MVP caliber, Sodo also playing very 34 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: well at large, but has cooled off a little bit, 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 2: right Volpi has cooled off a little bit, and so 36 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: the team is beginning to regress significantly. So right now, 37 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: what they need to do is find some consistency, whether 38 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 2: it's the starting pitching, whether you get a couple of 39 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: guys hot. Verdugo had a couple of hits last night, 40 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: so maybe he's coming out of it. But right now, 41 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: the Yankees are in second place, looking up at the Orioles, 42 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: and they have to consider making some changes, making some 43 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: moves to get this team better sooner rather than later. 44 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you can wait to the trade deadline. 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 3: This year. 46 00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: The pitching has been remarkably bad. Rodin has been atrocious 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 2: the last few times out. You hope that he turned 48 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: it around last night after the scoreless third, fourth. 49 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: And fifth innings. He settled in. 50 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: But you just can't put lipstick on a five run 51 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: first inning before you had a single out recorded, or 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: an eight nothing deficit. The body language, I thought, got 53 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: better as the day went along. He was pitching with 54 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: more confidence. But there was an article last night in 55 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: The Athletic about how ineffective his fastball has become and 56 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: how he should either just start throwing it less or 57 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: locating it better. How about both. He's in his thirties now. 58 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: Not everybody can be a fastball pitcher for their entire career. 59 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: Once you lose that little bit of extra gidde up. 60 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: We saw it just in one season Louis Heal went 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: from an unhittable fastball he fatigues a little bit. Now 62 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: it's gotten more hittable and guys are hitting it. Once 63 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: you start to age out of that extra little gidde 64 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: up where you can just blow it by guys. You've 65 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: got to learn to pitch man, and a lot of 66 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 2: lefties especially have been very successful with the Yankees transforming 67 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: into more contact oriented pitchers in the latter half of 68 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: their career. Now we talk a lot about the Yankees 69 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: not getting enough strikeouts late in the game. You want 70 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: swings and misses late in the game, but it's okay 71 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: to have a contact pitcher early in the game. If 72 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: you're getting soft contact, a starting pitcher who can elicit 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: ground balls. You know, that's what Marcus Stroman is basically, 74 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: and Andy Pettitt did that late in his career with 75 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: the Yankees. CC Sabathia did it late in his career 76 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 2: with the Yankees. I'm sure there are other examples that 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: I can't think of right now. But you know, Mike Messina, 78 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: he wasn't a lefty, but you know he fell off 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: and then won twenty games his last year because he 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: had to change the way he was pitching. Couldn't blow 81 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: the fastball guy by anybody anymore. So it's something that 82 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: you know Matt Blake needs to help him understand. The 83 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: fastball simply isn't good enough when you're making mistakes down 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: the middle of a often he does. It happened to cc, 85 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 2: it happened to Tanaka, it happened to Phil Hughes. You 86 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 2: had to put the fastball away because the hitters were 87 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: hitting it too hard, too often. It's good to have 88 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: the fastball as a weapon, and he can still touch 89 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: ninety eight. But if the hitters are clobbering it with 90 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 2: the regular you know regularity that they are, now there's 91 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: something not right and it's time to reflect on what 92 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: other pitches you can use to make yourself affected. JP 93 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: Farley says he didn't like Rodan showing up Rice for 94 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 2: that error shows bad chemistry, bad sportsmanship on Rodan's part. 95 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: You know, I don't. 96 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: I don't think he was necessarily trying to show him up. 97 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: But we've seen he he can't control himself, whether it's 98 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: crying in the dugout, or turning his back on Matt Blake, 99 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: or blow and kiss it at the you know, crowded 100 00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 2: the Yankees fans in Anaheim. He can't control himself, and 101 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: he can't control his fastball. Apparently, Stroman on the mound tonight. 102 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: He obviously pitched in Toronto for a long time, so 103 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: he should be comfortable on the mound. At least, you 104 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: just hope that he steps up and puts a stop 105 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: to this nonsense. The offense, outside of Judge Soto and 106 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: occasionally Volpi, also continues to underperform. Last night, both DJ 107 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: and Co Laboratories were on the bench. Still didn't help. 108 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: I just don't think that anyone in the league, in 109 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: the league is scared of Jamia Jones or Oswaldo Cabrera. 110 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta get some better bats in there. 111 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: Austin Wells has been disappointing in my opinion. I know, 112 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: he hit into some hard luck early in the year 113 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: and he you know, his numbers should be a little 114 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: bit better than they are. But he was seen as 115 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: being an excellent hitting prospect. And he's got a pretty 116 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: swing man, got a really pretty swing. Can't hit the 117 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: breaking ball down and in it happens. Some guys can't 118 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: hit certain pitches. The league figures it out and gets 119 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: what they're going to keep throwing it, and keep throwing it, 120 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: and keep throwing it until you show you can hit it. 121 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: Ruben Sierra back in the nineties, when the Yankees got 122 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: him in ninety five, he was on fire. He had 123 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: a great playoffs with the Yankees that year ninety six. 124 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 2: It was like the league just figured out if you 125 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: throw him something on the outside part of the plate, 126 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: he was going to roll over it and hit a 127 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: ground ball. He was trying to pull everything everything, and 128 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 2: so for a couple of years he was basically balancing 129 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: from team to team and refused to make the adjustment. 130 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: And it wasn't until the early two thousands back with 131 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: the Yankees where he started taking the ball the other 132 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: way and he became a better hitter. He became a 133 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: valuable hitter. Guys are gonna have to make adjustments at 134 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: some point. Austin Wells cannot hit that down in a 135 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: breaking ball, just can't do it. Labor Torres, he no 136 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: matter how much success he has hitting the ball to 137 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: right field, you know, using the entire field, he still 138 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: wants to pull it every time. How often do you 139 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: have to watch your own highlight reels of you hitting 140 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: doubles and line drives and home runs to right field 141 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: before you get it that, Hey, I don't need to 142 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: launch all of my weight through my front side to 143 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: try and pull every pitch. When will he learn this? 144 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: When will he grasp it? Offense is down all over 145 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: the league except for the Yankees' opponents lately, apparently, but 146 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: that's no excuse to keep running the same garbage out there. 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: There are players available that can help this team, Ryan McMahon, 148 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm, Jonathan India, among others. Cash Man needs to 149 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 2: go out and be creative because, as Michael Kay has 150 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: said repeatly on his show this week, this is not 151 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: a championship caliber team, no matter what, how and the 152 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 2: Yankees tell you great seventy games start. 153 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: Flaws have been exposed. 154 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 2: Trevigno can't throw anybody out, got no offense at third base, 155 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: got no depth in the outfield offensively anyway, with Domingas out, 156 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: with Perera out, Spencer Jones is too far aways at 157 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: the Double A. He is having a good month at 158 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 2: Double A, hitting two seventy seven, but he's. 159 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: Not ready yet. 160 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: Championship caliber teams don't take a guy who was dfa'd 161 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: by the Oakland Athletics and bat them clean up. 162 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: They don't bat. 163 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: Two hundred, you know, two fifteen hitters like Labor Torres cleanup. 164 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, and x N D l Y says, Glabor 165 00:09:52,480 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: in his prime years no excuses, and that brings me 166 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: to my next point before we get to the voicemails. 167 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: The depth in this organization right now is an absolute joke, 168 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: an absolute joke. The New York Yankees should not have 169 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: to go dumpster diving with the frequency that they do. 170 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: JD. 171 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: Davis really, last year it was Jake Bowers, Willie Calhoun, 172 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: endless parades of pitchers who can't get anybody out. Occasionally 173 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: they find the diamond in the rough. Michael Tomkin has 174 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: turned around, you know, he is credit where credits due. 175 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: I didn't like the movie. He had been DFA three 176 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: times before the Yankees picked him up. He's turned into 177 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: a pretty good pitcher. But you're spending all of this 178 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 2: money on baseball academies in the Dominican Republic, in Venezuela 179 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: and Puerto Rico. You've got scouts all over the world. 180 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 2: You got more money than pretty much any other organization 181 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: except for maybe the Dodgers and the Mets now, and 182 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: you can't find a couple of young hitters, maybe even internationally, 183 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: to plug in at third base or second base. Are 184 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: you kidding me? There's nobody in Japan you could go 185 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 2: out and get. There's nobody you know that's in Venezuela 186 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: or Korea. There's there's there's no one around the world 187 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 2: better than JD. Davis to DH, Really, what happened to 188 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: Andre's Chaparo? Why'd you get rid of him? The guy 189 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: was meant to be a DH and now he's tearing 190 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: it up in Triple A with I believe the Diamondbacks. 191 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: He was meant to be the guy. 192 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: That steps in and and DHS while. 193 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: Stanton is out. 194 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: That's what he was meant, you know, that's that's the 195 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: type of player. He is a four A hitter who 196 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: doesn't do much else, and they traded him hitting over 197 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 2: three hundred with the Diamondbacks and Triple A. 198 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Laurie c says, what was worse the debate. 199 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 2: Or the Yankee game? Oh my god, don't even get 200 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: me started on the debate. Can we just get can 201 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: we just get somebody young? Whatever happened to the best 202 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: and the brightest we got? You know, Look, look, I 203 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: make no bones about it. I don't like to be political. 204 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: I don't like to talk politics on the show because 205 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 2: you anien ate half your audience. But I'll say I'll 206 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 2: level with you. I believe in a lot of like 207 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: progressive things like Medicare for all. I think, you know, 208 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 2: I think people should have access to cheaper health care. 209 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't have to be Medicare for I 210 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: just don't. I just don't think we should be spending 211 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: so much money on healthcare. I think other countries do 212 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: that better. I think we lock up too many of 213 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: our citizens. I think that there's a lot of reasons 214 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: that I typically vote for the Democrats. I don't like 215 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: that Trump is a convicted FELA, and I don't like 216 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 2: the frequency which. 217 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: With which he lies. 218 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: But Joe Biden literally looked like he was going to 219 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: last night. Took him a half an hour to get 220 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 2: off the stage. And it wasn't like he was shaking hands. 221 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: He was trying to get down the steps. 222 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Unbelievable. I don't want to talk about it is. It's awful. 223 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: We got to do better as a country in producing leaders. Anyway, 224 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: all right, let's get to the voice smails here. So 225 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: first voicemail is about Carlos Roddin. 226 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, it's spiked from New Jersey. I'm a big 227 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 4: believer in the philosophy that certain starting pictures have a 228 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: really high ceiling or a really low ceiling. So a 229 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: kind of high risk, high reward scenario. I think Carlos 230 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 4: Rodon fits that narrative perfectly. He either goes goes out 231 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: there and completely destroys the the destroys the competition, or 232 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 4: he gets penetrated on the map. I think that it's 233 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 4: important to have other starters that are kind of like 234 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: middle of the road, where you know, they teeter the line. 235 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 4: They'll give you a good start and sometimes it's great, 236 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 4: but it's never really that bad. You know, the ceiling 237 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 4: the floor never really goes all the way to the bottom. 238 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 4: And I think there's an important starter on our team 239 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: that's missing right now. He's on the ils. Clark Clark Schmidt. 240 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: Is that guy. 241 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 4: He mainly only gives up three maybe four runs mass 242 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: every start. He never hits that absolute rock bottom like 243 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: Carlos Hoddan. 244 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: I think, all right, I appreciate it. It went on 245 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: for a little bit longer there, but you know, we 246 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: got the gist of it. 247 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: So you make a good point that Rodin doesn't seem 248 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: to have a lot of middle of the road kind 249 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: of outings. It's either you know, six or seven innings 250 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: in one run or he gets bombed in the first inning. 251 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: So against case last year. Seen it a couple of 252 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: times in a row. You rarely see Nester Cortez or 253 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman get bombed like that. They get beat they 254 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: have off nights, but you just don't see eight. Nothing 255 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: deficits with you know, one out in the second inning. 256 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 2: We've seen that multiple times now from Carlos Rodin Clark Schmidt. 257 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: I think the team is really missing him. He's a 258 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: steady swing and miss guy who'll give you five good 259 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 2: innings every time out. I think we underappreciated Clark Schmidt 260 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to having him back. 261 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: Hi David, Yes, I'm a woman. 262 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 4: Anyway, my name is Barbara in Florida. My suggestion would 263 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: be I think. 264 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: His first thing is y. 265 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: Ryan McCann sure would like to get him. Luis Nipho. 266 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: I'm familiar with him because I used to be an angel. 267 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 5: I'm from California, and he's coming along as a good hitter. 268 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 5: Obviously we're just looking at him, but the fielding is 269 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 5: not not really there. But Ryan mccannon would be great, 270 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: but he does make twelve million a year. I don't 271 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 5: know Stime Brainer would go for that. 272 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: We'll see so anyway, thanks so. 273 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: We've talked about McMahon a lot on this channel. I 274 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: like him a lot. I think he's a good player, 275 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: and we'll talk about him tomor more tonight when we 276 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: do our trade show after the game tonight, Terrence is 277 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: going to be on. We're going to talk about our 278 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: trade targets and McCann is, you know, pretty much my 279 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: main guy, or one of my main guys. This Luis Renifo. 280 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: You know, he's he's pretty interesting, you know, to see 281 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: the strikeout percentage is in the ninetieth percentile, so he 282 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: makes contact. He's hitting three twelve, he's a career of 283 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: two fifty three hitters, so possibly having a breakout season, 284 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 2: but that also means he could regress to the mean 285 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: as we move along here. But there's a lot to 286 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: like about Renefo. He's got a little bit of power. 287 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 2: Seventeen home runs two years ago, sixteen last year. He's 288 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: a switch hitter, he plays third base. Hey I'm sold. 289 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: If you can get him for a reasonable price without 290 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: giving up a major major prospect, Hey I'm sold. 291 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: I'm sold. 292 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: I just stand for sure again. I know I said 293 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: that Boone and Fine cash and have to go or 294 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 3: the Yankees are not going nowhere. And then I mean, 295 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: comma come off like a guru, because I'll be sixty 296 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 3: five in August. But I'm telling you that's the fact. 297 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: They can get a new manager, and hal Steinberer should 298 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 3: do it soon. And Cashman has been there too long. 299 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: It's that simple. There's no leadership at all on this team. 300 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: Thank you, and have a great day, great night. 301 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 2: So Cashman is supposedly supposedly leaving after the twenty twenty 302 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: five season, if you believe Andy Martinez, whom I very 303 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: much do believe, And they've got Kyle Reese lined up 304 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: or is it Kevin Reese I can't remember lined up 305 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: to be the next in line. As for Aaron Boone, 306 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 2: he would not have been my choice to be the 307 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: Yankees manager in the first place. But the Yankees aren't 308 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: going to fire him mid season. They just won't, not 309 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: while they're contending for a division title. There's been some 310 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: rumors about Alex Cora from Boston. He's a free agent 311 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 2: after the season. The Yankees could add him, and if 312 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 2: they do, that would let Boone go after the season. 313 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 2: But they had the best record in baseball two weeks ago, 314 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: and Boone was pushing a lot of the right buttons. 315 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: They simply will not fire him mid stream. We probably 316 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: got ten calls about firing Boone, and I just wanted 317 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 2: to say to everybody who left a voicemail and everybody 318 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: who's thinking about calling in to say fire Boone. 319 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: They won't do it. 320 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: Don't get your hopes up, because they just don't let 321 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 2: managers go midway through anymore. They let a hitting coach 322 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 2: go last year midway. 323 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: Through, and that was extremely unusual. 324 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: Not gonna fire the manager, not when you had the 325 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: best record in baseball a couple weeks ago. Short of 326 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: him dragging the World Serious Trophy all over the parking 327 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: lot like George Costanza. There's no way they're gonna get 328 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: rid of him.
