1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: All right, we have got Yankees baseball under the lights

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: from Tampa. Max Freed, the two hundred and eighteen million

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: dollar man, making his Yankee spring training debut. Plus we

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: got Aaron Judge back in the lineup, My recap, your

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: reactions coming up next.

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Next, this is Pinstripe Territory.

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 3: He's going to pull caps al.

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Nighttime recap, just

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: like the regular season. Only thing that would make it

10
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more like the regular season is

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: if we had Simon calling in to fire Aaron Boone

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: for some reason. Anyway, a good game for the Yankees tonight.

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: George Lombard Junior continues to impress one of the most

14
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: exciting prospects that I've seen in years. Another home run tonight,

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: his second in as many days. He carries himself with

16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: such confidence for a nineteen year old kid, and the

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: sound off of his bat is legit. It sounds like

18
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: when Luke Voight would hit one absolutely titanic blast tonight

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: again and the Yankees destroyed the Pirates.

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: Kid.

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: All right, So tonight we are going to talk about

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Luise Heal. We're going to discuss the injury of course,

23
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: we're going to talk more about George Lombard Junior, who

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: is turning heads to the point where people are getting whiplash. Also,

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: I disagree with Beat writer Eric Boland about who should

26
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: be the Yankees' third baseman and who has the inside track.

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 2: And I'll walk you guys through.

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: The Yankees' new top twenty prospect list from MLB Pipeline.

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: But first we have to discuss the good, old fashioned

30
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: and passionate ass whooping that the Yankees just handed out

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: tonight behind Max Freed, who was making his his Yankees

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: spring debut. I'll break down Freed more, you know, as

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: we get to the pitching spotlight segment. But I thought

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. I thought the ball was coming

35
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: out of his hand pretty good. Judge back in the

36
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: lineup tonight, he went zero for two with a walk.

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Nice catch by Trent Grisham on the first play of

38
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: the game. Dude is smooth as butter. In center field.

39
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Volpi had a good night. He ripped a line drive

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: single in his first at bat, reminiscent of a lot

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: of the hits that he picked up in the postseason.

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: I'll get more on him later. Dominic Smith had a

43
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: good night, drove in four runs, gave the Yankees an

44
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: early lead. Bat exploded, but as Kenny Singleton used to say,

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: the bat died a hero two run single.

46
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: I miss Kenny Singleton.

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: He was one of those broadcasters who never faded. He

48
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: was still at the top of his game in my opinion,

49
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: when he hung him up. Nice play by Jazz chizz

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: M in the third inning. It was a chop or

51
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: a high chopper or the right side. He kind of

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: showcased his athleticism, charged it and made a seamless flip

53
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: to Ben Rice at first base to get the runner.

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: Kind Of scary for a minute because Max Freed was

55
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: also coming over towards first base, so it was like

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: these three guys converging, and you know, you don't want

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: anybody to collide here. But a nice play by Jazz Chisholm.

58
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: And I really think that the Yankees are locked in

59
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: with him at second base. He I don't think it's

60
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: played third base yet this spring, at least that I've seen,

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: and he in volte seemed to be really going out

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: of their way to bond as a double play combination.

63
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: A beautiful piece of hitting by Cody Bellinger in a

64
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: third inning inside out swing, hardline drive to left field.

65
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I've been watching his highlights all winter on Baseball Savant.

66
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, I always tell you can click on the

67
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: little dots in their spray chart and watch the individual hits.

68
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: He had a lot of hits to left field. He's

69
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: a guy who really uses that left side of the

70
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: field and that's why I think he can hit three hundred.

71
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: I really think he can. And so far this spring

72
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: he is hitting four thirty eight, so obviously seeing the

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: ball very well.

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: So far.

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: I'll take four to thirty eight from him this year.

76
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: Let's do it an eleven hundred.

77
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 2: Ops.

78
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Anthony Vopi ripped another base hit, two run single through

79
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the left side and the fifth inning second hit of

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: the game. Hitting one to eighty eight this spring after

81
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: that at bats so maybe off to a slow start,

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: but kind of rounding into form a little bit. He

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: also dropped a pop up, had a little flashback of

84
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge there. We got a call about it too,

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people probably suffering a flashback there. Dom

86
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Smith had another bloop single to drive in runs seven

87
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and eight. Didn't hit the ball hard tonight, but sometimes

88
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: it's not how hard you hit it, it's where you

89
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: hit it. We saw Carlos Carrasco tonight, veteran trying to

90
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: work his way back as a depth piece for the Yankees.

91
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: He's got a one point nine to three so far

92
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: this spring. Four walks and two and two thirds innings.

93
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Not what you want, but two sorry, no hits, no

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: runs and two strikeouts. George Lombard Junior got into the

95
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: game tonight, struck out in his first at bat, but

96
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: he did get a second at bat and he was

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: not messing around. Two run home run in the eighth inning,

98
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: and you can really feel the hype growing around this kid.

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: People keep saying, oh, he's years away because he's nineteen

100
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: years old. He's years away, twenty seven, twenty eight, and

101
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: I get it. The Yankees like to take their time

102
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: with minor leaguers and sometimes they leave them in the

103
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: minors too long. But it can be done. Melchie Cabrera

104
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: made the Yankees at twenty. Jackson Churio had a great

105
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: year with the Brewers at twenty. Jason Dominguez made his

106
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: debut at twenty years old and tore the cover off

107
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: the ball. I think if he continues to progress the

108
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: way he's progressing and just with his pure athletic ability.

109
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six, starting third basement. That is my prediction

110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: right now for George Lombard Junior, the prodigal son. Andrew

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Velasquez from the Bronx went deep Apo Boppo home run

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: in the eighth inning, his first home run of the spring,

113
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: right handed. I forgot that he was a switch hitter.

114
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: I always liked him, but I'm glad they brought him back.

115
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: And the good news is that the Yankees hang on

116
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: to win a nail bier twelve to three. They got

117
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: ten hits, They did make a couple of errors. Tonight,

118
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Max Freed. It was his Yankees' debut

119
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: this spring, wearing number fifty four. Everything that I've heard

120
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: about him as a pitcher so far is that he

121
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: is very similar to Garrett Cole in the way that

122
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: he approaches pitching right, the way he thinks about pitching.

123
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: He's a studious guy.

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: He is one of those guys who understands and embraces

125
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: the modern technology that can help pitchers get the most

126
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: out of their pitches. Spin rate, break, you know, the

127
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: wake or whatever it's called. He's a ground ball pitcher,

128
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: which is gonna make the left side of the infield important,

129
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: which is why I'm gonna talk more about that later.

130
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: Volpi usually can pick it.

131
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Had trouble with pop ups tonight, but I want to

132
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: know who's gonna win that third base job.

133
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: Man.

134
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: I like Freed's arm speed. I like his arm action.

135
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: It's very whip like. The fastball was touching mid nineties

136
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: ninety six couple of times, including a punch out looking

137
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: to end the first inning. He put a couple of

138
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: runners on on the second soft single hit by a pitch,

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: but got out of it with a big, roundhouse curveball.

140
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: They compared it to Clayton Kershaw and Barry Zito on

141
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: the broadcast, and all due respect to Max Freed. I

142
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: saw Clayton Kershaw's prime curveball. I saw Barrysito's prime curveball.

143
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Freed is not in those categories. It's a good curveball,

144
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: but it's not up there with those guys. He did

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: throw a few cutters today. I thought he was overthrowing

146
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the cutter little bit. You know, it wasn't getting a

147
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: ton of break, but it had some good pop to it.

148
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: He got some weak swings on the change ups. He

149
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: had a check swing on a change up that resulted

150
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: in a bounce out to first base. But you know,

151
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: I thought he threw the ball well. He left a

152
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: couple of runners on base. As we've seen in this spring,

153
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: guys tire out after a couple of innings. Third inning,

154
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: it looked like he fatigued a little bit. They got

155
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: him out of there. He left a couple of runners

156
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: on and then the guy who came in for him,

157
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Anderson, served up a two run home run.

158
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 2: But forty nine.

159
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Pitches, thirty one of them strikes topped out at ninety six.

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: Typical spring outing. But it's clear to me that he

161
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: has a very, very live arm. All right, let's talk

162
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: about Louise Heel. That was the story of the afternoon.

163
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: The Yankees may have dodged a bullet with Louise Heel.

164
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: First of all, they're saying high grade lat strain and

165
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: that he is not gonna throw for six weeks. Six

166
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: weeks from today is April fourteenth, the day before Tax Day,

167
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: the day Lincoln was shot. After that, you figure he's

168
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna need another four to six weeks of building up.

169
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: Having an entire spring training wiped away. He's gonna need

170
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: to make those appearances. He's gonna have to make a

171
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: few rehab starts. He's probably gonna throw in Tampa for

172
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, flat ground, all that stuff. Let's

173
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: say the attack on another six weeks. That puts him

174
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: at May twenty sixth, the day after I turned forty

175
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: two years old. I am comfortable with Marcus Stroman for

176
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: six weeks, absolutely comfortable. As a matter of fact, this

177
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: could end up being a really good scenario. You get

178
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Stroman at his strongest in the first half, and just

179
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: for comparison, last year, on May twenty sixth, Marcus Stroman

180
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: was four and two with a two point seven to

181
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: six ERA. Through his first twelve starts, he had a

182
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: two point six zero ERA. He was in the middle

183
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: of a stretch where he threw nineteen and the third

184
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: innings and allowed just one run, So that was really

185
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: his peak at that point. He had sixty nine and

186
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: a third innings pitched nice, well short of the one

187
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: hundred and forty he needs to vest his eighteen million

188
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 1: dollar option. So even if they take it slow with

189
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Louise Heel and say, you know, he doesn't return until

190
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: mid June or so, just to make sure he's at

191
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I think Stroman can be an adequate replacement.

192
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: And you know what, if he is throwing the ball, well,

193
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: you might have the ability to deal him to fix

194
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: whatever spot you need at that point, whether it's a

195
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: third basement or whether it's more bullpen help or whatever.

196
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: So Louis Heel out at least till late May, possibly June,

197
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: possibly later.

198
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: We'll see how he heals.

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: I do recall that Louis Severino had a very similar

200
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: body type and physique throwing motion to you know, Louis Heel.

201
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: He began spring training a few years back with a

202
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: lat strain after he signed his forty million dollar contract extension,

203
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: was never really the same after that. Now, part of

204
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that could be that there was some issues with his rehab.

205
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: If you think about it and you remember the stories,

206
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: he kind of screwed with his rehab a little bit

207
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: and the Yankees weren't happy with it. One thing that

208
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: bothers me is that people are saying, oh, seven Reino

209
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: two point zero and YadA, YadA, YadA. I feel like

210
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: this has gotten worse in recent years with injuries, especially

211
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: in the post Carl Pavano years. Maybe the post Jakobe

212
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Elsberry years. The amount that Yankees fans rip our guys

213
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: when they get injured really bothers me. I did a

214
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: video about Luis Hell earlier, and when the MRI results

215
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: came out, I just posted the video and said the

216
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: basics right, you got a lot Strain's gonna be out

217
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: a little bit while. And I saw in multiple comments

218
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: that were just trashing the guy, ripping the guy for

219
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: getting hurt. How about get well soon to our rookie

220
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: of the year. How about showing some empathy for the guy.

221
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: He's not dogging it, he's hurt. You think he doesn't

222
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: want to be out there. The guy's not making any

223
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: kind of significant money right now. He's not making forty

224
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: million like Pavano and missing a whole season with the

225
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: bruised buttocks. This is a who practically saved our season

226
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: last year when Garrett Cole was down with an injury.

227
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: He began like ten to one first couple of months

228
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: of the season.

229
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: How about we.

230
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: Support him and wish him well. Could he be injury prone, absolutely,

231
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: but we don't need to trash him over it. He

232
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: wants to be out there. We'll see how it shakes out.

233
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: All right, Let's talk a little bit about the game

234
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: awards related somewhat to ripping guys. We got a lot

235
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: of feedback over the past couple of years that we

236
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: need an award in addition to the belt. Everybody loves

237
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: the belt, but kind of the inverse for losses. I

238
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: always resisted doing it because I don't like to punch down.

239
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: If a guy gets hurt, I'm not gonna rip him.

240
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: But if a guy plays like ass, I think it's

241
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: perfectly reasonable to acknowledge that. But I didn't want to

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: make it a nightly thing where we're ripping guys, especially

243
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: when the Yankees weren't playing well back in the day

244
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: and we were ripping the same guys over and over again.

245
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: But I do think if the audience wants something, you

246
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: got to give it to them. So for this year,

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: on losses, we've been given out the bum of the Day.

248
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: We've given out a couple of them so far, and

249
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: a few people have taken issue with it. One guy said, well,

250
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: you're not a real fan if you're not rooting for

251
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: everyone on the team. Allow me to retort, we are

252
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: indeed rooting for everyone. But at the end of the day,

253
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: this is a podcast and it's supposed to be fun,

254
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be entertaining, and it's supposed to blow

255
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: off some steam.

256
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: You know.

257
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing it to blow off steam. I

258
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of you guys watch the Blow Off Steam,

259
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: and I think if someone has a really bad day,

260
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: really deserves it. I think it's a good way to

261
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: acknowledge and put behind us the fact that they played

262
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: like horses ass recognize it, and turn the page. My

263
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: intention is not to be mean. That is not my

264
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: intention at all.

265
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: A little bit. I'm just breaking balls.

266
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: And so the plan is whenever we give out the

267
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: bomb the day, we'll also read the disclaimer that it

268
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: doesn't make you a bad guy, doesn't mean we don't

269
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: like you, that we're not rooting for your success, just

270
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: on that particular day you played like a bump. I'm

271
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: sure there'll be days where we give it to umpires,

272
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: where we give it to fans, where we give it

273
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: to managers. You know, I might be out of ideas

274
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: and looking for a joke. I might give it to

275
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: the son of Sam David Berkowitz just because he was

276
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: a dick but it's about having fun and having a

277
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: segment that people want to get a chuckle out of.

278
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: So we're not doing it in a mean spirited way.

279
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: So I hope you stick with it. But if you

280
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: guys want me to ditch it, I'll ditch it. This

281
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: is spring training. It's the time to try out new things,

282
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: and I'm sure not everything will make the cut. But

283
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: that being said, tonight no problem because we do have

284
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: the fan favorite. We have a belt belt. Tonight goes too.

285
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Anthony Vopie multi hit game, two RBIs, two stolen bases,

286
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: two runs scored. He did drop a pop up, but

287
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: they still got an out on the play. He gets

288
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: the belt and he's tied with George Lombard Jr. Who

289
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: made a late case for his second belt in a row.

290
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: Look.

291
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: I enjoyed the Anthony Vopie that we got at the

292
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: beginning of last season and in the postseason. The problem

293
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: was June through September. What I want to see out

294
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: of him this year is consistency. I want to see

295
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: a full year of consistent baseball.

296
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: Put it all together.

297
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: He had twenty eight stolen bases last year. I think

298
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: he gets over thirty this year. His power dropped off

299
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: last year from twenty one to twelve. I hope he

300
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: makes up the difference a little bit this year, but

301
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't want him to be a power guy. If

302
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: he ends up hitting for power and hits twenty five

303
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: home run, sure, but I'd rather have him go for

304
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: another average increase, but maybe mix in a few more bombs.

305
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Maybe hit like I said, two sixty two seventy eighteen

306
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: to twenty home runs, thirty stolen bases, and his baseball

307
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: IQ and his defensive ability when he's not trying to

308
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: catch pop ups in spring training should allow him to

309
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: be a four plus win player in terms of war.

310
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: So belt tonight, mister Anthony Volpi, all right, and now

311
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: looking ahead at the third base job, and we're gonna

312
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: talk about prospects. Yesterday I talked about the third base battle,

313
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: and I said that, barring a trade, oswald Piazza would

314
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: probably win the third base job, especially given how well

315
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: he has played defensively. And then this morning I saw

316
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: a tweet quoting Yankees beat writer Eric Boland who said, again,

317
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: barring a trade, that Oswaldo Cabrera has the inside track

318
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: to play third base. Look the thought is and I

319
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: can understand his viewpoint here that Cabrera has more pop,

320
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: He's had more success at the major league level as

321
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: a hitter. And I know he's a beat writer and

322
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: I'm a lowly podcaster, but I just flat out disagree

323
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: that he should get the third base job. I think

324
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: Parazza has the infield, the inside track for third base

325
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, and he's been getting a lot of

326
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: time over there at third during spring training. They're clearly

327
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: giving him a good look. One of those reasons is

328
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: that he is defensively superior to Oswaldo at third base.

329
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: Got a better arm, there's no question about it, and

330
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: he looks extremely comfortable over there. One of the other

331
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: reasons that I mentioned yesterday is that Oswaldo profiles better

332
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: as a utility player because he plays positions that Paraza doesn't,

333
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: first base and both corner outfield spots. The last reason

334
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: is that and this this is just me hoping Oswa

335
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: Parazza has not gotten a real shot yet. Right he

336
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: was the Yankees' number one prospect at one point. I

337
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: know he didn't win the job that spring training when

338
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: he was competing with Volpe, but let's be honest. The

339
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: Yankees wanted Vope to win that more marketable for whatever reason,

340
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,719
Speaker 1: and Parazza's kind of had his years disrupted. He's been

341
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: called up and he sat the bench, and he's had

342
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: some injuries. I want to see him get fifty games,

343
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: give him till Memorial Day. If he's hitting two hundred

344
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: with no power, you make the switch, or you trade

345
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: for somebody. But I think Lombard is the future third base.

346
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: And rather than trade for Eronato who's gonna have a

347
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: huge contract, or trade for some other guy who's gonna,

348
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, block him, I would rather them give it

349
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: to Paraza, see what he can do. Maybe he plays well,

350
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: and then if Lombard comes up and he's gonna be better,

351
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: you have a trade chip, or you can move Paraza

352
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: somewhere else on the infield. We don't know if Jazz

353
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: is gonna end up re signing with us when his

354
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: contract is up. You just don't know how it's gonna

355
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: work out. But Paraza is out of options. I don't

356
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: want them to get rid of him. I want them

357
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: to keep him around because I like his glove. Having

358
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: a left handed pitcher who gets so many ground balls

359
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: in Max Freed he's gonna get a ton of ground

360
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: balls at third base. I want somebody over there who

361
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: is smooth as silk, and Parazza is that guy. But

362
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: should be noted orb Vivas is a sleeper. He's gonna

363
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: make his debut tomorrow. He was a good prospect before

364
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: he had some injuries last year, and Aaron Boone said that,

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: you know, he could be somebody the Yankees consider worth noting.

366
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: He has dropped to twenty first on the Yankees' top

367
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: prospect list according to MLB Pipeline, which I'll take a

368
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: look at right now front of us.

369
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 5: Do you what do you say?

370
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 1: So looking at the top prospects, we got Dominguez of

371
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: course at number one. Lombard is shot all the way

372
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: up to number two. And you know, once Dominguez graduates

373
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: here as he picks up at bats this season in

374
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: left field, Lombard's gonna be number one. Spencer Jones number three,

375
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: Ben Hess has shot all the way up to number four,

376
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: Will Warren number five, Bryce Cunningham, another college pitcher they

377
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: drafted last year, Number six, Roderick Arius, number seven, Elmer

378
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: Rodriguez Cruz, number eight, Chase Hampton, who's out for the season,

379
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: has dropped from sixth to ninth. Brock Salvage, who we

380
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: saw last year, who I want to see more of

381
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: in spring. I'm not sure where he's at. I'm not

382
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: sure if he's heard or whatever, but I haven't seen

383
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: him pitch in the few games I've tuned it on.

384
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: He's number two, Henry l. Lane.

385
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: He's somebody got to keep an eye on. Outstanding frame

386
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: for a pitcher, great stuff. I compare his change up

387
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: to oh, shoot, his name, I had his name a

388
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: second ago. Johan Santana very similar, just drops off the table.

389
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Cam Schlittler, whose name I'm sure I will never mess up.

390
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: Number twelve. We saw him pitch the other day. Big frame, good,

391
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: fastball ed. Glean Perez catcher, age nineteen. Ever since Pereira

392
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: has dropped to fourteenth, he's out of the top ten,

393
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: but he's looked good this spring. Manny Sedanio, Dominican youngster

394
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: shortstop sixteen years old, already the top fifteen prospect. Kate

395
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Smith twenty, age twenty three season, right handed pitcher. Rafael

396
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Flores catcher in first basement. He's in his age twenty

397
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: four season. Gauge Zeal. When I think of the name Gauge.

398
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: I think of that creepy little kid from pet Cemetery,

399
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: Carlos Lagrange. I'm from Lagrangeville in New York. And then

400
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: Kyle car twenty two years old.

401
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: Right handed pitcher.

402
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at with the top prospects according

403
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: to MLB pipeline, and as we had a call yesterday,

404
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: we continue to turn out players despite not typically having

405
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: a top ranked farm. I think the Yankees do hype

406
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: their prospects, but they hype the ones that they want

407
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: to trade, and they keep the under the radar guys

408
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: that end up making an impact right there in front

409
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: of us.

410
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: What do you hear?

411
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 4: What do you say?

412
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: All right, So quick word from the guys at foul

413
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: Territory about Arena Club, and then I'll be back in

414
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: about sixty seconds with some of your reactions and with

415
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: a few voicemails. Back in sixty seconds.

416
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 6: Uh, Todd, father, remember the good old days when we

417
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 6: would have the cards and the binders, But then they'd

418
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: get all messed up and we're trying to sell online

419
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 6: and it's just real clunky. They really actually weren't the

420
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 6: good old days, were they?

421
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 4: No?

422
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 5: They were definitely not, but now there's a better way.

423
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 5: The Arena Club has been dominant with this that you

424
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 5: get to trade your card. You could sell them, but

425
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: the best part for me is getting them graded. I

426
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 5: love everything about that. This new age of getting cards graded.

427
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: You could display them on your online showroom, your mobile device.

Speaker 1: I've also got a Roger Maris and I got a

443
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: Mickey mantlecard that my dad gave me.

444
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:56,959
Speaker 2: That are on my shelf.

445
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, check out Arena Club one quick note before

446
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: we get to your voicemails. Oscars last night, Lame, the

447
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: movie that won Best Picture, Anora Legitimate, legitimately one of

448
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: the worst movies I've ever seen.

449
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: All Right, here we go.

450
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: Hey, Derek Frank from California. I just saw Anthony Volpi

451
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 4: drop an easy fly ball in the fifth thing, two outs,

452
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: two strikes, and it was a bad flashback. No, that

453
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 4: didn't happen.

454
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: But I agree.

455
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 4: Lombard for president, Lombard, Lombard, Lombard put him in there.

456
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: Lombard for president.

457
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: I like it.

458
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: How about Lombard for third base?

459
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: DM says Lombard is ready. Now, I wouldn't go that far.

460
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: I want to see him move up the ladder. But

461
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: we've seen guys just go crazy fast through the minor

462
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: leagues in recent years. Hell One Soto did it when

463
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: he was with the Nats. Jackson cheerio. I mean it happens,

464
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 1: so it can happen. I don't know if the Yankees

465
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: will do it, but I would be excited if it did.

466
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited for the back three.

467
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: I guess we'll see how it goes.

468
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: Okay, but more importantly, Luis gil.

469
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: If he could be back by July and throwing.

470
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 4: The ball well back then or even illust.

471
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 5: I think that'll be Foon expected him to be.

472
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: Ready to go in May.

473
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 5: I don't know if I like that, but.

474
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking probably June. I mean maybe even July.

475
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna slow walk him. Not only do

476
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: they want to protect his health, uh, but they want

477
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: to give him a break. I mean, he threw a

478
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: lot of innings last year. I think they want to

479
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: back him off a little bit. All right, final call

480
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: for tonight.

481
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, this is Glenn, A longtime Yankee fan since

482
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six, when I was ten years old, sitting

483
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: on the floor in my house watching Donny Baseball on

484
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: Channel Picks eleven. He was my favorite too. Yeah, I'm

485
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: looking at this Yankee team for twenty twenty five and

486
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 3: I don't see how they use those Walda Cabrera for

487
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: third base. He's like a great utility guy. I was

488
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 3: watching your video from March second after the Tarbo loss

489
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: to the Braves. I mean, I don't understand Cashman. I

490
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: mean I don't see how he can't how he thinks

491
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 3: that the Yankees are going to win the World Series

492
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 3: or even compete to get into the World Series without

493
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 3: a legitimate like Scott Brocious at least type third baseman.

494
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: I mean they have no one. I mean they don't

495
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 3: see that they're missing the recipe for success, and that

496
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: is having older utility guys on the bench like they

497
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: used to have back in the day. Soho you know

498
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: Avanyez and other players that they've had over the Big Daddy,

499
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 3: maybe DJ guys like that. They're missing these ingredients. So

500
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: during Dream World, if they think that this team they

501
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 3: put together is going to win a World Series, I

502
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: wanted to get your thoughts on that. Take care, buddy.

503
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: Well, It's always good to end the night on an

504
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: optimistic note, isn't it. I think this team can get

505
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: to the World Series. I don't know if they can

506
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: beat the Dodgers, but I think they can beat the

507
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: American League. They do have DJ as like a veteran presence.

508
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: I do like that they're bringing guys like Roger Clemens

509
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: and Andy Pett and all these guys around during spring training.

510
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, Jack Curry had a great comment. He basically said,

511
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: when Max Freed and Roger Clemens were talking, he said,

512
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: I would love to listen to that conversation. You know

513
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: that Max Freed is going to take nuggets away from

514
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: that conversation throughout the year and go back to it.

515
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: I mean, how many chances do you get to talk

516
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: to a seven time cy Young Award winner about pitching. So, hey, look,

517
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: Yankees win tonight. I'm feeling good about it. I'm gonna

518
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: do another post game on Friday. Well, we might do

519
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,480
