1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: Under two cats. All, how's it going everybody? Welcome back, 2 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: the Yankees have finally made a move. Now, if you 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: had told me a few hours ago that the Yankees 4 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: would be adding to their roster a player who was 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: the son of a former Yankee during the nineties dynasty, 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: I would have said, welcome back Cody Bellinger. However, it 7 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: is not Cody Bellinger and it was not the son 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: of Clay Bellinger. It was the son of David Weathers, 9 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: who Brian Cashman traded for in Uh, actually, no it was. 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: It must have been Bob Watson. Yeah, Bob Watson in 11 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six traded for David Weathers. It did not 12 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: go well for David Weathers during the regular season with 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: the Yankees. He ended up having a very nice postseason, 14 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: a very nice World Series, got some big outs. Now, 15 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: his son, Ryan Weathers, is a left handed pitcher. He 16 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: just turned twenty six years old on December sixteenth. He 17 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: has a pretty good fastball, I mean ninety seven ninety 18 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: eight miles an hour. We can take a look at 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: the stat cast metrics here, but this is a guy 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: who basically a strikeout per inning, not quite this year, 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: thirty eight and a third innings, thirty seven strikeouts. He 22 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: only appeared in eight games. I haven't dug into why yet. 23 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: He probably had an injury, but I do remember seeing 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: him in that series that the Yankees played down there 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: in Miami. Now, if you look at the metrics, he's 26 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: above average or average in a lot of areas. The 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: fastball is what stands out, ninety six point eight mile 28 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: an hour fastball, The fifth percentage twenty eight point eight percent, 29 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: so that is really really good. Ground ball percentage also 30 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: well above average. That is partially due to his sinker, 31 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: which he throws four percent of the time. It's at 32 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: ninety five miles an hour roughly, so you know, he 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: keeps the ball on the ground, he keeps the ball 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: in the strike zone. He's you know, above average and 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: walk percentage. His strikeout percentage, even though he's got a 36 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: great fifth percentage, is actually below average, which means he's 37 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: probably just got to learn a few things about pitching. 38 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: He's clearly got good stuff, and he's young enough that 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: he can get better. Now, this is a guy who 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: was a former first round draft pick. He was taken 41 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: seventh overall by the San Diego Padres out of Loretto 42 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: high school back in twenty eighteen, and he pitched in 43 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three and was one and eight with a 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: six point five five ERA. Improved vastly in twenty twenty 45 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: four five and six three point six three ERA as 46 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: a starter, and then eight innings or sorry, eight games 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: started this year two and two record three point nine 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: to nine. So this this might be kind of a 49 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: sneaky deal. I thought maybe that they would go out 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: and trade for somebody like Freddy Peralta, or go out 51 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: and get like an ace type of pitcher to really 52 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: bolster the rotation. But this feels like the Brian Cashman 53 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: type of move where it's kind of under the radar. Now, 54 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: this is a guy who is, you know, pretty equal 55 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: against both lefties and righty's. Lefties hit two thirty three 56 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: on the road, he had a four point eight four ERA. 57 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: He was much better in Miami, where he was one 58 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: and one with the stats went by too quick, but 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: I missed it. But anyway, four point nine to three 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: career RA, twelve and twenty three record. I know a 61 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of old school baseball people 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: are gonna be like, well, twelve and twenty three record. 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: He was pitching for a really lousy Marlins team. This 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: is a guy who could potentially be a nice pickup 65 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: for the Yankees rotation. Now, let's take a look at 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees pitching as of right now, Max freed Carlos Rodin. 67 00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: Obviously we squared off the stats. It's all down to zero. 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: So we're officially into the twenty twenty six year. Cam Schlittler, 69 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: Louis Heel, Ryan Yarborough, and Clark Schmitt. Schmidt will be 70 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: out until at least probably late August or maybe even September. 71 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Camp Schlitzler, I'm expecting a big year from Garrett Cole 72 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: could be back in like, you know, maybe May or June. 73 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: Carlos Roddan maybe early May. I'm concerned about Rodin missing 74 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: a little bit of spring training, but you figure that 75 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: in this current rotation, if Max Freede is your opening 76 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: day starter, Cam Schlitler is probably your number two. I mean, honestly, 77 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: Ryan Weathers could slot in as number three. It depends 78 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: on how good Louis Heel looks in spring training. But 79 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: Jayden Pagan says, it's I guess we'll see he dominated 80 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: the Yankees last year. You know what, I'm gonna find 81 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: the stats from that game Ryan Weathers versus the Yankees. 82 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look at his his numbers in 83 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five versus the Yankees. I remember he pitched 84 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: well in that series, and I remember thinking that it 85 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 1: was like that he was nasty. I'm gonna go ahead 86 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: and take a look at his numbers and see if 87 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 1: I can find that game versus the Yankees. Maybe somebody 88 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: can look up the date. It was right around the 89 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: trade deadline. So anyway, look up the date for me 90 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: and drop it in the chat and I'll put up 91 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: the I'll put up the stats. I'm trying. I'm trying 92 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: to google it. I should have googled that I had 93 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: in time. Anyway, going back to the Marlins in this deal, 94 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: four prospects, four prospects, Dylan Lewis, who was rumored to 95 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: be part of the trade that never consummated, you know, 96 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: for Edgar Cabrera. So that tells you that, you know, 97 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: the talking Yanks guys when they predicted that they knew 98 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: that there was some conversation and that the Marlins were 99 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: interested in Dylan Lewis, So kudos to them. Brendan Jones now, 100 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: Brendan Jones is one of these guys who you know, 101 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: a super fan. Brian Bashman in the chat is always 102 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: talking about, oh, he's the next big thing, hasn't really 103 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: done much. Dylan Jasso and Juan Mattheas. I've never heard 104 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: of Jasso or Matthaeas myself, but I think that this 105 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: is ultimately gonna be a good move for the Yankees. 106 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. And 107 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: also war number thirty five last year. So it was 108 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: like Cashman woke up and said, I'm gonna go out 109 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: and get a former Yankees' son who warre number thirty 110 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: five last season. And he told that to somebody and 111 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: they put a million dollar bet that it was gonna 112 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: be on Cody Bellinger and ended up being Ryan Weathers. Anyway, 113 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: I think this is a good move. So July twenty eighth, 114 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: thank you to Action VJ in the chat. July twenty eighth, 115 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Yankees Marlins, I'm gonna look it up. You know what 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: we can do is we can share the back score 117 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: for that. I think that that was the day that 118 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: I think Yankes might have even gotten shut out that day. 119 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna just see what I can or was that 120 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: it's not showing up. I'm gonna I'm gonna sort through 121 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: the schedule real quick, and we're gonna find it. But 122 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: I came away impressed. I came away impressed July twenty eighth. 123 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: So it was a Monday, and we're gonna pull up 124 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: the Cam Schlettler pitch for the Yankees in that game. 125 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and share it. So Ryan Weathers did 126 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: not pitch on the twenty eighth. That is fake news. 127 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: That's Tampa Bay Dog. What day was it September twenty fifth? 128 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: Was it September twenty July twenty eighth? Was not even 129 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the Marlins Come on action, VJ. You're a mod you 130 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: gotta do better than that. Let's go September twenty fifth. 131 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: Is that right? No, that was the White Sox so 132 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: action VJ O for two anyway, Joseph Salvatorius's dollar store shopping. 133 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's fair. I think that's a bad take. 134 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: I think that the Yankees are trying to get somebody 135 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: on the upside who's twenty six years old, who's lefty, 136 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: who throws hard. J J. O'vally says he went five 137 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: innings and gave up no runs. So I look, if 138 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: he was good enough to shut down the Yankees lineup 139 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: last year, he's good enough to shut down anybody. So 140 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching him pitch, seeing a little 141 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: bit more of him in spring training, which is now 142 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: just about a week away, So I'm looking forward to 143 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: more moves. Stay tuned, Big Trade Yankees add to the rotation. 144 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: I'll see you next.
