1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: All right, but it the feel oh wow, two cats

2
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: al It was game twenty two of one hundred and

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: sixty two in the first place, Yankees were taking on

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: the division rival Tampa Bay Rays. Luis Heel and his

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: electric stuff on the mound, but would he be able

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: to harness it this time? Plus would Aaron Judge get

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: it going? My recap your reactions coming up next. This

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: is n YY recaps.

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Due.

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Y pull me back? All right, Welcome back everybody, Welcome back,

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: and thanks to everyone who has chosen NYY Recaps over

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: a live Rangers playoff hockey game today. That really does

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 1: make me feel good. Sunday afternoon baseball season final, our

14
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: series finale, not season finale against the Rays and Oakland

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: Athletics come into town tomorrow. Just a real quick heads

16
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: up before we begin. Tomorrow's a day game, so I'll

17
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: be on around four pm, so don't miss it. We'll

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: hop on with a recap right after it's over. So

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: got to welcome back my co host from another coast,

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Terrence KM. What's up, my man? So glad to be back.

21
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: It's been a little while, but I'm happy to be back.

22
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: What do we like? Twenty two games in right now.

23
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: That's just over thirteen percent of the season of one

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two games. So it's going fast. It's

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: going quickly. But I've enjoying it, been playing well thus far.

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Something's maybe a little bit concerning here and there, but overall,

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: you got to be pretty happy with where they're at.

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. So here's the deal. People have been,

29
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, becoming fans of yours in the chat, got

30
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a fan club growing, and they've

31
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: been asking where's Terrence. Where's Terrence? So I have to

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: be honest with you. He's been in prison. Go didn't

33
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: you have? You got a vacation or something? Right?

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: First of all, father is an attorney, so if I

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: was in prison, he'd be getting a phone call. But no,

36
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: I was not in prison. I had a lot going on.

37
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: I was doing a move, I was away, so there

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: was a lot happening. But you know, I was always

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: following the games. I'd send Derek a text here and there,

40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: just like hey, what do you think of this? Or

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: oh man, that play sucked or whatever.

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: But a text a text, It's more like a block

43
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: of seven texts. Whenever something bad, whenever something bad, happens.

44
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: MF this guy, MF that guy, this guy's mother. That's

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: how he texted me.

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: I'm like a block texter, though, like I fire them

47
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: out quickly, like one after the other.

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: That's how I That's how I do it. I don't

49
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: know why.

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: I'm not like a big paragraph person. It's just like

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: one after the other, very.

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Stream of consciousness. Yeah, yeah, all right, So we got

53
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: to talk about today's starting pitcher. That's what really set

54
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the tone for today. Luis the real deal heel. He

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: had that good stuff going. He was throwing strikes today,

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: which has been an issue for him until the final

57
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: two hitters. He faced five and two thirds innings, two hits,

58
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: one run, but it was on a box, so it

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: counts as an unearned run. Three walks, but only one

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: through the first five innings, and he struck out nine

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: so far this season two points seventy five ERA, nineteen

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: and two thirds innings, twenty nine strikeouts, seventeen walks, eight

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: hits a loud opponents batting just a buck twenty five

64
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: against him. What'd you see from him today? What are

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: you seeing from him this season?

66
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: I'm pretty happy with what I've seen this season. Look

67
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 2: at those numbers, they stand out as one of the

68
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: one of the best starters in the staff so far

69
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: this year. Even before Tommy John when he came up briefly,

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: he always had great stuff. I always kind of felt

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: that he had the ability to but the problem with

72
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: him was command. We always were kind of concerned about

73
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: the command. Usually guys that throw hard like this and

74
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: have a lot of movement on their stuff, it's it's

75
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: tough to control that. But it seems like he's maybe

76
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: figured something out. And if that's the case, awesome, He's

77
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: going to be a huge help until Garrett Cole comes

78
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: back and brings up a very interesting problem when Garrett

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: Cole comes back if he keeps this up, because are

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: you gonna send him to the bullpen if Cole comes back?

81
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm not really sure. Honestly, he might just stick around.

82
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: He might just pitched his way into the rotation. So

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: very exciting stuff to see. I'm happy with it so far.

84
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 2: His stuff is always looking electric.

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: The command.

86
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: I thought there were some isolated at bats where maybe

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: he lost the zone for like three pitches, but he

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 2: kind of was able to lock it back in, which

89
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: is impressive. That's it's impressive to see a young pitcher

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: like that make an adjustment on the fly while you're

91
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: pitching in the middle of the game. Not a lot

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: of guys can do that.

93
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, And people complaining about me not wearing the fun hat,

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: can't fit it over the headphones over the fun hat.

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: So I wore the little baseball fun hat, you know whatever.

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: But all right, So obviously a great job by Luisia.

97
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk about him more in a minute, but let's

98
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: go through the blow by blow. Oh, let's get it going.

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: Chat's filling up. Everybody wants to talk about Aaron Judge.

100
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Obviously he's been struggling a lot. Took a fastball right

101
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: down the middle to strike out as first at bat.

102
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: That tells me the problem might be between his ears

103
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: rather than some kind of a physical thing or an

104
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: abdomen or an oblique or whatever. Second at bat, he

105
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: ripped a line drive single. It was an infield single.

106
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: It one hop the third baseman, but it was, you know, scorched.

107
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: Third at bat, he grounded out softly. Fourth at bat,

108
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: he struck out looking, So you know. JFK had this

109
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: quote after a meeting with Nikita Khrushchev. No significant progress

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: was either achieved or pretended. What's your concern level with

111
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge right now?

112
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: I'm at a weird level. I'm not. I don't think

113
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: there's any need to be concerned about Aaron Judge unless

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: there's something physically wrong with him, which he has said

115
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: in many postgame interviews that he's fine and that he

116
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 2: feels fine. I think that he's shown us enough in

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: the past the type of player that he is. I

118
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: also think the lack of at bats in spring training

119
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: has a lot to do with this, a lot to

120
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: do with the slow start. Maybe he didn't prepare the

121
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: way he normally does in spring training. I did see

122
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: a video of a guy bringing up a point that

123
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, when he hit sixty two home runs,

124
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: he had a lot quieter of a leg kick than

125
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: he does this year. So maybe there's something going on

126
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 2: mechanically there. I don't think it's anything that he can't

127
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,799
Speaker 2: correct or he can't make an adjustment for. But yeah,

128
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: like you said, there is maybe something going on mentally

129
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: that happens a lot in baseball. Baseball is a feel game,

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: so when you're up at the plate and you really

131
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 2: put a good swing on the ball and you barely feel,

132
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: barely feel the ball coming off the bat. There is

133
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: like a repeatable kind of feeling to that, so he

134
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: just may feel sort of out of sync, off out

135
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: of time, the timing's off. I'm not super concerned. Maybe

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: some solutions, would you flip Sodo and Judge in the lineup,

137
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: just to see if that could help him get started

138
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: a little bit? That was an interesting idea.

139
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm not sure let's talk about that. I mean, that's

140
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: something that I was staunchly opposed to in the beginning

141
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: of the season because I want, you know, ideally, if

142
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: everybody's playing well and healthy, Sodo's walking and getting on base,

143
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and then Judge is hitting the ball out of the ballpark,

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: so you get a lot of crooked numbers. But right now,

145
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: Judge isn't getting a ton of pitches to hit. I mean,

146
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: last night almost every pitch was a slider away. Now

147
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: he did have some hit pitches to hit today that

148
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: he took, but I think he's just getting a little bit,

149
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, mentally, kind of indecisive there, you know, taking pitches, guessing,

150
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: trying to you know, think his way out of this

151
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: instead of just hitting. And I think maybe if you

152
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: do flip flop those guys and you put Sodo behind

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Judge for a minute, even if he got to hit

154
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: Judge leadoff for a minute, then you know, maybe he

155
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: gets some pitches to hit, you know, with Sodo behind him.

156
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: Volpi right now kind of slumping in the leadoff spot.

157
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: He was doing great, and he's kind of slowed down.

158
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, maybe that's maybe that's something that you

159
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: get to keep Soda in the number two spot and

160
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: still get Judge in from of him.

161
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's probably there's a few things you

162
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: could do vulping the leadoff spot. I do see that

163
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: as the long term position for him over his career.

164
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: Was he ready for it when they switched him there.

165
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: He certainly was playing to that level. Some people were

166
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: arguing that it was a bit too early. I see

167
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: their point. I can understand why some people may have

168
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: felt that way. But he still hasn't slumped to the

169
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: point now where it's just like, oh my god, he's

170
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: not even handling this at all. He's still been fine.

171
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: If you want to switch him back to the sixth

172
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: hole just to kind of get his confidence to a

173
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: point where it's so high that he's he can kind

174
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: of hit anywhere. I'm not really sure you want to

175
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: do that. Maybe it'll hurt his confidence if you move

176
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: him out of the leadoff spot. Sometimes that happens with guys.

177
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: Vulpi doesn't really strike me that way, but you never know.

178
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: But with Soto and Judge, yeah, my only thing would

179
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: be the way the lineup is right now. As far

180
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: as Vulpi, Soto, Judge in the first three, I like that.

181
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: I do want that to be the first three guys

182
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But you may just have to switch

183
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: some things around just to get Judge going a little

184
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: bit right, right, You've got to get going because he's

185
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: obviously a huge piece of this team, and he's an

186
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: enormous part of the equation in terms of the success

187
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 2: of the overall lineup. So I don't really feel like

188
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: he's seeing the pitches that he should be seeing in

189
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: the three hole right now because he's struggling.

190
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, And honestly, fifteen and seven with Aaron Judge basically

191
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: not hitting at all and Garrett Cole out completely, there's

192
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot to like about that. So RBI single from

193
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: Rizzo today that put the Yankees out front. I thought

194
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: it was important for them to score first and to

195
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: score early because they got shut out yesterday. Labor Torres

196
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: fouled a pitch off of his ankle and could barely walk.

197
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: I was shocked that they left him in the game.

198
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: I thought they were gonna pull him out. Guy could

199
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: barely walk at that point, you had eight innings left,

200
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: struck out in the at bat. But he picked up

201
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: a hit his next at bats, so I guess he's okay.

202
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Luis Hell balked in a run. He had a couple

203
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: of bucks today. I feel like, as a young pitch,

204
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: base runners are gonna try and mess with you. You're

205
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: going to try and screw with you. And that's just

206
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: something he's got to learn from. I mean, we can't

207
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: really fault him from that. That's something you learn, you know,

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: as a professional overtime. So now he won't make that

209
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: mistake again, hopefully. And I thought the command was really

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: good today until the last two hitters. He had some

211
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: deep counts, but he was able to dial it in

212
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: when he needed to. He was on normal rest. I

213
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: would avoid giving him extra day's rest. You know, last

214
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: time when he had the extra day's rest, he was

215
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: just wild. As hell. That's something with those electric fastball

216
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: guys that they're a one hundred. If your command isn't amazing,

217
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: you can really really get wild when you're too amped

218
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: up right, So I feel like keep him on normal

219
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: rest if you can big rally for the Yankees. In

220
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the fifth inning, we had three walks, had a go

221
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: ahead single from Alex Verdugo. He had a good day

222
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: RBI single from Travigno, and then a big hit from

223
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Oswaldo Corbrera, who also had a good day two hits,

224
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: and he smoked one in the bottom of the eighth

225
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: but got robbed. Verdugo definitely been playing better recently. Three

226
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: hits today. I'm surprised Yankees are allowing him to wear

227
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: those yellow cleats. Let's talk about that man, because I

228
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: tim look, I had some comments about this on Twitter today.

229
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Some guys like, well, how can you be against the

230
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: beard policy but want them to have, you know, standard cleats.

231
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they need to have standard cleats. I'm

232
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: saying they should match like you should. You should wear

233
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: team colors when you're playing with your team on the field.

234
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: That's just my thought, and you know, I might sound

235
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: like a crotchity old guy like that. But that's just

236
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: the marketing in me. I like things to be on brand,

237
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: is what they would call that. So what are your

238
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: thoughts on the on the cleats from Brdugo.

239
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, I'm twenty three years old. I'm

240
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: a young Yankee fan, so I think that I have

241
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: the floor to kind of say that I'm a young fan.

242
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: And even I think it's weirder. I don't really like

243
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: it that much. The yellow cleats are just a bit much.

244
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: Marcus Strouman was wearing red and white on his opening

245
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: day start in Yankee Stadium. I understand that there's red

246
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: and the logo you see in the hat, like I

247
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: get it, but for me, red makes me think red

248
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: Sox and I didn't really like it. I think the

249
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 2: chrome cleats he wears on the road are pretty cool,

250
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: the ones with the road grays like that, that's fine

251
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: for me. But also like they have the Star Insurance

252
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 2: patch on the jerseys, so like clearly they don't really

253
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: care anymore about the whole Like keeping the Yankee brand,

254
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: you might as well just sell the naming rights to

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: the Yankee Stadium and make it like you know, fucking

256
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: home depot Parkers hit. Like I'm just saying, like, it's

257
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: just it's definitely been relaxed a lot over recent years.

258
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 2: I remember talking to my dad about the ad on

259
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: the sleeve and he was saying, like, they'll never do it,

260
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: they're the Yankees. I was like, oh, no, they're gonna.

261
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: Do it.

262
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: Doing it, yeah, And I was like, the compromise I

263
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: came up with was maybe just on the road grays,

264
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: you don't touch the pinstripes. But I guess that was

265
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: too much.

266
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: To ask for.

267
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, the yellow cleats, I'm kind of surprised. I'm

268
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 2: with you that they they allowed that.

269
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I have no problem with guys wearing jewelry,

270
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: guys having beards, guys doing the do rags like Stroman,

271
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. I just think that you

272
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: should wear your team's colors. That's just kind of, you know,

273
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: old fashioned to me. Anyway. Dennis Santana just playing bad today,

274
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: gave up three runs in the eighth. Victor Gonzalez came

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: in to close it out in the ninth. In because

276
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes pitch two days in a row. No sign

277
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: of Ian Hamilton today, which kind of surprised me. Great

278
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: play to end the game. I wasn't able to capture

279
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: the highlight, but we can show it on the screen here.

280
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull it up. Victor Gonzalez making the play

281
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: to end the game. We'll just pull it up right here,

282
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: all right. So I have to pause it every few

283
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: seconds because of the copyright rules. So backhand slap and

284
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,239
Speaker 1: just gets him.

285
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, way to stick with that.

286
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a great play. That was a great

287
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: play to end it. And as we like to say

288
00:13:49,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: around here, mister John Sterling, take it away, all right.

289
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: The Rangers apparently winning three nothing, so let's hear it

290
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: for them real quick.

291
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 2: About to do after this?

292
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: So all right, as is with going with custom. Whenever

293
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: somebody else joins me for the post game, they get

294
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: to pick the belt winners.

295
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: So who you got, I think you gotta go with

296
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: the real deal, heal Man. There's no one else. I

297
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: think that's so cook about.

298
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: Luis, see you. I don't know how many belts he has,

299
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: but that's that's definitely a couple.

300
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a young player. He'll get there though.

301
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Ye Frank's kipping track. I don't see him in the chat,

302
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: but if he's on. He'll let us know how many

303
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: that is for Louis. Oh yeah, big step forward for

304
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: Luis Heo. I think not only this game, but in

305
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: this season at large, he's showing incredible strikeout stuff so far.

306
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: Twenty nine strikeouts in under twenty innings. That's that's pretty

307
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: damn good. You want to go through the box score here,

308
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: take a little look at the the becsco over there.

309
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: So we got nine hits today. We out hit the

310
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Raise nine to five. The only multi hit games were

311
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: Verdugo who had three, and Cabrera who had two. Volpi

312
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: oh for five. He's kind of face planted over the

313
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: last you know, several days. I think he's about you know,

314
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: one for twenty five or so right now, hitting two

315
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: eighty eight. He was hitting about three eighty about a

316
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: week ago. Soto oh for four, it's gonna happen. He

317
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: did walk, so he continues to get on base. Judge

318
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: one for four, hitting one eighty three, couple of strikeouts,

319
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: stanton O for two with a couple of walks, hitting

320
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: two twenty seven, Rizzo one for three, hitting two thirty five.

321
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, he's he's gonna get going soon.

322
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: He's he got a couple of ugly swings today, but

323
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: he's not a two thirty five hitter. He's gonna hit

324
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: Torres one for three, for du Goo three for four.

325
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: Travigno continues to hit, he might be grasping that starting

326
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: catching position. Uh and uh picked up a ribby and

327
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: then Cabrera two for four. Cabrera hitting three zero three

328
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: on the season. So how are you feeling about the

329
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: catching situation. You think Travigno's gonna kind of start stealing

330
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: the majority of the playing time, know he's the only

331
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: one producing. Yeah, I don't know.

332
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: For catching, and especially in today's game, I feel like

333
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: it's always going to be a platoon situation. It's a

334
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: position that beats you up quite a bit. I think

335
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: it's important to rotate the backup catcher, and almost like

336
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: hockey does it with goaltending now, where their backup goaltender

337
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: is like almost the starting goaltender. I think with baseball

338
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: and catchers, it's almost a similar role now, where it's

339
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: a position that beats you up quite a bit. So

340
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: they're both going to get their licks and their at bats.

341
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: Travino's dead producing more now, But if you want to do,

342
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: like you want to start Wells against certain pictures and

343
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: Travino against certain pictures because you know the analytics say whatever,

344
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: that's fine. Yeah, he's been producing lately, but it's a long, long,

345
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 2: long season. Like I said, we're only about thirteen and

346
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: a half percent the way through, still got a lot

347
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: left to go. I think for the baseball season, you

348
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: really should only look month to month. Don't ever look

349
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 2: at like a week, because there's a baseball you need

350
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 2: a large sample size to be able to tell the stories.

351
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: So you know, month to month. We're April twentieth, April

352
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: twenty first today, so another week or so then you

353
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: can assess how the month of April went. Obviously, Judge's

354
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: not gonna be very happy with that so far, but

355
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: he something's telling me May he's gonna start to turn

356
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: it around. The wather's gonna get a little warmer, the

357
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: ball's gonna fly out a little bit more. For Dougo

358
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: had that fly ball today. It was one of those

359
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: rare flyballs that didn't even get to the warning track

360
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: with When he hit it, I was like, that might

361
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: be gone. It just kind of died in the air.

362
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, allow me to interject something about Judge here.

363
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: He still has a chance for a good April because

364
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: we got the Oakland A's coming to town. Yeah, future

365
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: Sacramento A's yeah right now, yeah, Hey, We got to

366
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: get a quick word from our sponsor about thirty seconds

367
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: and I'll be back with Terrence and we will wrap

368
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,160

377
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: nyy recaps to get started. All right, So, just going

378
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: through Luis Heel stats one more time, since we got

379
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: over six hundred in the chat, just to kind of

380
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: reinforce how good this guy has been. Two point seventy

381
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: five era nineteen and two thirds innings, twenty nine strikeouts,

382
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: seventeen walks, so almost a walk per innings. That's no good.

383
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: But because he allows so few hits just eight hits

384
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: a lowed, his whip is still a very tolerable one

385
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: point two too. That's still pretty solid. Opponents hitting just

386
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: one twenty five, that's Joey Gallo level. Again, that's worse

387
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: than Joey Gallo against against him. And he has yet

388
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: to allow a home run. That's a big deal for

389
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: a young pitcher that doesn't allow home runs and gets

390
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: a ton of strikeouts. It doesn't seem like he gives

391
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: up much hard contact at all.

392
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 2: How can you hit it though? First of all, he

393
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: throws like ninety nine miles an hour and it moves everywhere.

394
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: I don't even know how you really get a good

395
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 2: piece of it with him. He just has to fix

396
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: the command. That's like the last piece of the puzzle.

397
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: And I'm confident mat Blake will may be able to

398
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: tweak some things in his delivery or you know, fix

399
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: some things canically or just here and there. But if

400
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 2: he fixes the command where he has that sorted out,

401
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: we're talking about a potentially elite picture here. Seriously, he's

402
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: got he's got stuff at that level, and it's the

403
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: last piece of the puzzles of the command, which it

404
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: is for most young pictures. You throw really hard. Sorry,

405
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: there's like a helicopter outside. There's I don't know that

406
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: the apocalypse might be starting or.

407
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Something like that. Go OJ on the freeway there, yeah,

408
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: J on the exactly.

409
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: So sold for one point five mili and now it's

410
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: on the freeway and Noe's freaking out.

411
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: So Doug Row says, just seeing this NordVPN a thing

412
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: a day late. He just signed up for NordVPN yesterday

413
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: and MLBtv. Look, Doug, this is why you have to

417
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: Uh and we are approaching thirty nine thousand. We're about

418
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: uh seventeen hundred and fifty subscribers away from becoming the

419
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: third Yankees channel to cross the forty thousand threshold. And

420
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: once you hit forty thousand, things start to like rock

421
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: it up, like it's just it gets crazy. So we

422

Speaker 1: got to get there. So if you're new, if you're watching,

423
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: if you're not subscribed, go if you want more, Terrence.

424
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: I want to be able to pay Terrence to come

425
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: on and join me every single game because I have

426
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 1: such a good time talking to Terrence. I know he's

427
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: tired of trying to become a movie star out there

428
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, so let's make him a full time podcaster

429
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: so he doesn't have to fight crime in his black

430
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: turtleneck anymore. All right, Terrence, any final thoughts on what

431
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: you've seen from the Yankees over the first twenty one

432
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: games or twenty two games. Now?

433
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: Pretty happy with what I'm seeing. Unfortunately, the Cleveland Guardians

434
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: decided to randomly be good, so I don't think Emmanio

435
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,479
Speaker 2: Classe is gonna be available at the deadline. I've been

436
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: very vocal about that. Aaron Boone wants a Manuel Classe too.

437
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: But that's besides the point. That play, by the way,

438
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 2: that was in the highlights just there by as Waldo,

439
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,239
Speaker 2: that was a beautiful play, super underrated. I don't think

440
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 2: people really appreciate when they watch a game and you

441
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: see a guy in the infield make a play like that.

442
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: That is such a tough play to make, and he

443
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: made it look so easy. So as Waldo. Every year

444
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: there's a surprise guy. I think as Waldo might be

445
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 2: that guy early on, especially, but just for the entire season.

446
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: As Waldo might be that surprise guy this year. He's

447
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 2: played really well.

448
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was my pick to break out last year,

449
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: and obviously it didn't happen. He had a huge spring

450
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: training if you remember, I think he hit like five

451
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: or six home runs and everybody's saying, oh man, this

452
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: guy's going to break out. And then I think he

453
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: kind of left it in spring training and he kind

454
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: of got off to one of those starts where you know,

455
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: he you know, it was a bad start, and he

456
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: starts tinkering with things and he was just never right

457
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: the whole season. He spent the year hitting with Judge

458
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: and Glaber in the offseason, so two of the three,

459
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: as Meatloaf would say, not bad hitting so far and

460
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: hopefully hopefully Judge will get good. Actually one of the three,

461
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: because the Glaber's not hitting at all either. So yeah.

462
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: Also, he like switch hitting, but not really switch hitting, like.

463
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's hitting certain guys he's he hits left handed

464
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: against lefty sometimes it's weird. Yeah, I guess he's a

465
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: natural lefty in terms of hitting and and we've seen him.

466
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: He hit lefty against Josh Hater, he hit lefty against

467
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: a few other guys.

468
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: But he said one of those things though, where it

469
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 2: just simplified it for him and just made it simple.

470
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: And it's just allowed him to just go out there

471
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: and just not think too much and just hit the ball.

472
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: Sometimes guys think too much. I think.

473
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's wrap it up here. Final questions,

474
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,240

Speaker 1: Lori C. Says New York sports are fun right now.

477
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: You've got the playoffs going, you got the Yankees in

478
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: first place. Net's playing well.

479

Speaker 2: Yep.

Speaker 1: Andrew Klado says, keep Terrence gotta say. I agree.

481
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,399

488
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: watching it, but I won't be able to grab as

489
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,399
