1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: All right the tipopeel you. It is Sunday, July fourteenth,

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: and it was the final game of the first half

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: and the final game of a three game set. If

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees could beat the Orioles, they would be back

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: in first place at the All Star break. My recap,

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: your reactions coming up next. This is n Why why recaps?

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Pull me back? Oh man, that one stings. I'm not

8
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna lie. That might be the worst loss of the season.

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: You know, I've never been one to cover my eyes.

10
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: When I was a little kid, I would watch Texas

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: Chainsaw Massacre. I would watch all the Freddy movies, the

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Jason movies, all that stuff, and I would never look away.

13
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: I can watch the Saw movies no problem. But I'm

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: forty one years old and I have to cover my

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: eyes when Clay Holmes is in the game. Unbelievable. How

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: bad this guy is and how this team insists that

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: he is a closer. He just blew the series. Well,

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: he didn't blow so he blew the sweep. He blew

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: first place. And I think that is definitely the worst

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: loss of the season so far. I mean, look, cardiac,

21
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Clay probably stopped a few hearts today. You're lucky this

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: podcast is even happening because, according to my Apple Watch,

23
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: my heart was literally on the verge of exploding there

24
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, I got the alert your heart

25
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: rate has risen to dangerous levels with no activity detected

26
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. Clay Holmes almost fucking killed me today. Is

27
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: two hundred and ninety beats per minute, bad, un believable,

28
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: us enormous three run home run from Ben Rice in

29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: the ninth inning off of longtime Yankee fox Craig Kimberl

30
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: to take the Yankees from being down one to put

31
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: them two runs in front, but the Yankees could not

32
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: hold it because they don't have a closer. About thirty

33
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: seconds before the home run, I was feeling pretty good

34
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: because I tweeted Ben Rice three run home run, calling

35
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: it and then once again, me and Ben Rice have

36
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: a fun little moment on Twitter because he hits the

37
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: home run and I'm I'm on top of the world, baby.

38
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: I pulled the fun hat out, the victory hat, dusted

39
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: it off a little bit, changed all my belt stuff,

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: and I was ready. I was ready to celebrate his

41
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: sweep headed into the All Star break, but Clay Holmes

42
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: fricking killed us again. You know I was also I

43
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: was bummed before this game even started because you know,

44
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: Yorbitt Vivas was not part of the lineup. I've always

45
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: thought that it was unfair to call these prospects up

46
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: and then have them sit the bench. That's something you

47
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: used to never see, but now the Yankees do it

48
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: all the time. I don't think it's good for their development.

49
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's good for their confidence. You know

50
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: what if he gets sent down, gets injured, you know, tough.

51
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: Another tight, low scoring game, one of the best games

52
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: of the year, especially if you're an Orioles fan. Trent

53
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Grisham had a good day, three hits for Dugo did

54
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: not have a good day, kept ending innings, rolling over

55
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: ground balls to second base and then he falls down,

56
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: falls down on what was a very catchable fly ball

57
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning. Was he playing so shallow? Unbelievable?

58
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Volpi did not have a good day. Obviously an error

59
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: to extend the game and allow a run to score

60
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: in the ninth He did have one hit, but again,

61
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: helmet kept falling off. Both his helmet sell off three

62
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: or four times today. What that guy said, But the

63
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: story for me today is obviously Clay Holmes. We cannot

64
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: continue to rely on this guy. William Flores says, Boone

65
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: being cute, Holmes is not the closer. No reason for

66
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Holmes to be in the ninth when he'll get reps

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: at the All Star Game. I don't. I mean they're

68
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: trying to close it out. I mean, you gotta go,

69
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: you go to your closer there. You're trying to win

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: the series. You just should have a closer who can

71
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: get somebody out. That's the problem. Talk about Carlos Rodin

72
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: because he was not great today either. Carlos Rodan needed

73
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: seven innings to shut out Baseball as bad as anybody

74
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: has ever needed them. He did not get it. Instead,

75
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: he threw ninety eight pitches in four innings. That's a lot.

76
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: He was trying to pitch backwards. And what I mean

77
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: by this is he was throwing a lot of breaking

78
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: balls early in the count, sliders, you know, change ups,

79
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: all that stuff. But he doesn't have a good enough

80
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: command of those pitches to get ahead in the count

81
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: with them with strikes. So he had a lot of

82
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: deep counts. He had, you know, three walks in four innings. Yeah,

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: he had seven strikeouts. But just not a good day.

84
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at Carlos Rodin's numbers. You know,

85
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: things got off to a decent start. He struck out

86
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson on a wicket slider to lead off the game,

87
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 1: made it through the first inning without allowing eight runs,

88
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: so that was a positive. Pitched out of a jam

89
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: with a little bit of help from Vopie in the

90
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: second inning. Voping made a nice play there. Third inning,

91
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: he walked a ninth hole hitter and then served up

92
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: a two run jack to Gunner Henderson hanging slider that time,

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: Carlos London is so at fourth inning, he put two

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: runners on and then threw a ton of pitches and

95
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: ultimately struck out Gunner Henderson and the inning. He was

96
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: done after four innings. You see the overall numbers. On

97
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: the season, He's made twenty starts. He's also given up

98
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: twenty home runs, four point six to three ERA, more

99
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: than a strikeout per inning, and a one point two

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: eight whip. I stand by my position that Carlos Rodin

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: should be traded if the Yankees can somehow find a taker,

102
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: even if you have to eat a little bit of

103
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: that money. Overall, he made some pitches, but four innings

104
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and two runs on ninety eight pitches is not a

105
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: good outing in my book. You know, Aaron Judge finished

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: off a historic first half. He went oh four to

107
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: two with a couple of walks, but still hitting three

108
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: oh six on the season. He has got thirty four

109
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: home runs, He's got eighty five RBIs. We may never

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: see another Yankee put up a first half like this,

111
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: so taking in enjoy it. One point one point one

112
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: two would have been nice if he had a big

113
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: swing today. Thirty five home runs looks a lot better

114
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: than thirty four going into the break for whatever reason.

115
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: But I hope that he gets back in the field

116
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: after the break because I don't think he plays as

117
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: well when he's the DH. You know, it's taken him

118
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: some time now to adjust to being the DH. We're

119
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 1: gonna have John Carlo back, so I'd imagine we're gonna

120
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: see uh Judge back out there in center a little

121
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: bit more. And Justics Grisham is starting to heat up.

122
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: He's almost up to two hundred. He's hitting one ninety

123
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: five now. He went three for three with a couple

124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: of ribis today, and then the second half will begin

125
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: on Friday night. Next Yankees game will be against the Rays,

126
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: four game wrap around set, and then they have the

127
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: Mets next Tuesday and Wednesday. After that, the Yankees hit

128
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: the road against two pretty good AL East teams, or

129
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: two pretty good East Coast teams, the Red Sox and

130
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: the Phillies. Phillies in the NL trade deadline just a

131
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks away, and the Yankees and Phillies will

132
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: play that day at twelve thirty, so the game will

133
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: probably end about an hour before the trade deadline. I'll

134
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: also be working Foul Territory that day, so I might

135
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: not do a recap. I might just do the post

136
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: game or the post deadline wrap up, you know, at

137
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: four o'clock or whatever. We'll talk about whatever moves are made.

138
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I'm still kind of working on the scheduling there, so

139
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: i'll get back to you on that. We're getting some

140
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: reinforcements back. Stanton coming back. He's got eighteen home runs.

141
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: We're getting f Ross back, possibly lout Rev. You know.

142
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 1: Nick Birdie could be back soon. John Birdie, no relation.

143
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Those guys should be back. Domingez is doing baseball activities,

144
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: so maybe another four to six weeks, but you know,

145
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter unless Cashman goes out and gets to

146
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the pieces that this team needs at the deadline. Clay

147
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Holmes just proved again with his six blown save that

148
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: he is not a closer. And there have been a

149
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: few games whereas you know, a foul ball just misses,

150
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: you know, clearing the bases, or balls you know, a

151
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: foot from being a home run where he's just gotten

152
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: out of trouble giving up some shots right at people.

153
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: He could easily have nine or ten blown saves in

154
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the first half. He is not a closer. We keep

155
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: saying that Yankees refuse to address the problem. Hopefully they

156
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: will address it. Now we've got a significant number of

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: people in the chat, so let's get to the recap game.

158
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: Good a door, big bluses. Maybe Grisham should stay in

159
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: the lineup when Stanton is back and Verdugo's I mean

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: maybe you know, Verdugo has been slumping for a while,

161
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: really since that big home run. It's like he had

162
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: that big home run in Boston was like, you know what,

163
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm checking out. Juan Soto attempted to bunt

164
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: his way on base in the first inning. Bunt wasn't

165
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: half bad, but Dean Kramer made a great play to

166
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: throw him out. Judge got hit by a pitch in

167
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: the first inning, right on the elbow guard. Obviously no

168
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: harm done, but it got me wondering. You know, is

169
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: that retaliation didn't end up turning into anything. Yankees got

170
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: on the board, first double from Volpi into the right

171
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: field gap and then an RBI single from Grisham. You know,

172
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: good for Grisham to start heating up. Maybe he will

173
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: play himself into more at bats in the second half.

174
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: Orioles threatened against Carlos Rodan in the second but Volpi

175
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: made an outstanding play behind second base to end the inning.

176
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: Orioles went back out in front of the third inning

177
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: on a home run from Henderson. Rodin was done after

178
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: four final line four hits, two runs, three walks, seven strikeouts.

179
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Like I said, not a good day for Carlos Rodan.

180
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Bottom five, Trent Grisham tied it up. Nice piece of hitting.

181
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: Whoa good down aha and he finds the ports out

182
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: there six home run of the season for him. Tommy

183
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Kinley also unreliable. He gave up a home run to

184
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Santander to put the Orioles back out in front.

185
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: He has not been good. He has been very unreliable.

186
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: His ERA is two point nine to five, which would

187
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: be good if he was, you know, a starting pitcher,

188
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: but as a reliever, you know, you need a little

189
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: bit better than that. He's had some stretches where he

190
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: was really good. You know, he opened up the season

191
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: on a really good stretch, but he has not been

192
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: good lately. Ton can pitch pretty good. Luke Weaver pitch

193
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: pretty good. Cousins pitched pretty well. Yankees put runners on

194
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: the corners in the sixth, but Oswaldo Cabrera struck out

195
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: the and the inning. I've seen a number of people

196
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: say that he should be an everyday player, They should

197
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: give him the same base or the third base job.

198
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he does enough offensively to get

199
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: it done. He's had over two hundred bats now and

200
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: his OPS is six twenty nine. That is not great.

201
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: That is not great. I think he's good enough defensively,

202
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't wear me too much at second base.

203
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: At third base is not quite as good. But I

204
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: just don't think he's got the offensive ability yet to

205
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: be an everyday player. More of a replacement player, type

206
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: of guy right now, useful guy on the roster, but

207
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: not ready to give him the job. Top nine, Grisham

208
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: stole second base, standing up at the catcher, apparently made

209
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: contact with the umpire, so it got ruled umpire interference.

210
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Oswaldo did walk to put the runner back in scoring

211
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: position and bring Ben Rice up as the tying run.

212
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: One of the biggest swings of the season. It's an

213
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: outside basketball ninety five miles an hour and he takes

214
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: it over the right center field wall, and at that

215
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: point you're thinking, that is the big bigest swing of

216
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: the year. It's gonna put the Yankees in first place

217
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: as we head into the break, and unfortunately, Clay Holmes

218
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: would not allow it to happen. He came in for

219
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: the ninth. He loaded the bases with two outs. Voltee

220
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: got a ground ball to shortstop and booted it and

221
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: that allowed a run to score. And then there was

222
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: what looked like a catchable fly ball to left field.

223
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: Maybe we can take a look at it here that

224
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: I really think that man, I really think he could

225
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: have caught this. I'm gonna pull up the highlight real quick.

226
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Hang on just a second, let me mute it. So

227
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: we don't get any any you know, copyright stuff. So

228
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: let's go to the pitch. So Clay sets we're gonna

229
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: stop here. We're just gonna try and fix the copyright stuff.

230
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Sinker down and away. You see, it's ninety eight miles

231
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: an hour, down and away at the corner. But that's

232
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: the problem is not swinging miss stuff. It's contact stuff.

233
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: It's tough to make contact on that can hit ninety

234
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: eight these days. And then routine fly Verdugo falls a

235
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: couple of times and does not make the play, and

236
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: the Orioles walk it off. Just a brutal, brutal ending

237
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: to that game. Good day by Growl says I better Frizzo,

238
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: We're still healthy and slumping Rice would be in triple A.

239
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: Isn't that the truth? Isn't that the absolute truth? Mike

240
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: Stewart says that Boone is defending Clay again. Are you

241
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: kidding me? It's it's days like today that I'm glad

242
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: that I do a post game show and can't watch

243
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: the postgame pressers. I used to watch all the post

244
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: game shows on Yes, I still record them and I

245
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: watch them sometimes, but I don't watch Boone talk anymore.

246
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: There's no sense in listening to what Boone says because

247
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: nothing that comes out of his mouth is the truth. Right,

248
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: there's a point. You know, you can defend your players,

249
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: but when they're consistently bad, you got to acknowledge that.

250
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: You got to say, hey, look this guy has not

251
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: been pitching. Well, we gotta get this, we gotta get

252
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: these outs here. And I'm sure he's defending him because

253
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: Volpi blew the game on the on the ground, ball

254
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: the short and somebody just said this game is on Volpi.

255
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: Eduardo Aguire says, this game is on Volpi. Sure, you

256
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: know VOLTI played a hand in it, but ultimately I

257
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: think it's on Cashman. I think the same game is

258
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: on Cashman because we didn't get a closer. We've been

259
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: saying this. You know, imagine if if he had only

260
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: blown three saves instead of six, okay, like a normal closer,

261
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: Yankees would be two games up in the Al East

262
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: at the All Star break and everybody getting a week

263
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: off even after that. You know that tough stretch. Got

264
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: to get a closer, guys, we have absolutely positively to

265
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: get a closer. Let's take some react to X and

266
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: D L Y puts it bluntly, says that should be caught, Bro,

267
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. You got to make that play. A

268
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: professional outfielder should not fall down on a relatively routine

269
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: fly ball. Jason Thomas says he misjudged it. Well, that's

270
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: pretty clear. Came in. Your first steps should always be back.

271
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: As an outfielder, they teach you that first first steps

272
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: should be back. That's just fundamental baseball. Scott Brutowski says

273
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: Tonkin truck for closer. Tonkin has been incredible, but I

274
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: really like him in that middle relief role. I think

275
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: he does a really nice job in that middle relief role.

276
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Sam Jacobowitz, Wow, this is crazy, says that catch had

277
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: a ninety nine percent catch probability my quantitative my math specialist. Wow,

278
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: that's brutal. We got a number of super chats here.

279
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: F Stiminski says, I thought. He says, I am through

280
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: with this damn team, sick and tired of the same

281
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: SHI game after game. I feel you, Bro, I feel you.

282
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: William Flores says Yankees baseball operation is the definition of insanity.

283
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: Repeating the same pleep, waiting for a different result, and

284
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: you know he can't keep throwing that guy out there

285
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning and hope for different results because

286
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: he's just not a closer. Yankee Baseball says best defensive

287
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: outfielder is Verdugo, Grisham and judge in right, I don't well.

288
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: I mean, he had a lot of defensive run saved early,

289
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: but lately he hasn't been as good out there in

290
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: left field, and yesterday he ran into the walhard. I'm

291
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: surprised he's even out there today. But you know, maybe

292
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: me messed up his head. Maybe that's why he went

293
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: in instead of first step back. Mister X says Holmes

294
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: isn't a real closer, but Volpian Verdugo didn't make two

295
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: routine plays at the end of the game, so this

296
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: is on them. I agree, but still they shouldn't have

297
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: been in that situation. You know, how many how many

298
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: walks did Clay Holmes have in the ninth inning. Let's

299
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: take a look at the box score while we're at it.

300
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes had two walks. Your closer's not supposed to

301
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: walk guys, and he allowed two hits. You can't have

302
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: a closer with a one point three to one whip.

303
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: That is not good. You want less than a base

304
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: runner per inning in the ninth inning, absolutely unacceptable. And yes,

305
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: Votie and for du Go, we're both ass on defense today,

306
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: both ass stellar defense. So Yanks gotta figure this out

307
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: before it comes too late. We got a couple of

308
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: weeks till the trade deadline. Take a few more comments here.

309
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: Jack Well says, the VOTEI error is unacceptable. They said

310
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: it on the FS one broadcast. He let the ball

311
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: play him, He let that extra hop play him. You

312
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: gotta charge that ball, charge that ball. Flip the second game,

313
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: oh where everybody goes home and you go home in

314
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: first place. But Holmes did load the bases. Holmes walked guys,

315
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: he gave up hits. It's not mutually exclusive to have

316
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: a shitty closer or a bad play on defense or two.

317
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: You can have all sorts of contributing factors. Everyone shares

318
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: the blame on this one. Holmes for putting guys on,

319
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: Volpi for not making a routine play, and Verdugo for

320
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: whatever the hell happened out there. Absolutely terrible. It's what

321
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: it is, what it is, it's what it is, what

322
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: it is, It's what it is. Wasski Polino says, Verdugo.

323
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Letting his offensive game affect his defensive games quite possible.

324
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: We've seen that happen. It seems to be happening with

325
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Glaber Torres. Tommy cees Cat says Boone is such a disgrace.

326
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: Anyone that is able to lie so easily and so

327
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: much is a bad person in general, going right after

328
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: Boon being a bad person. As we do have one

329
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: thousand in the chat, and by law, I'm obligated to

330
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: remind you every time we get over one thousand watching

331
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: live to like and subscribe. We are on a mission

332
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: to get to fifty thousand subscribers. We're here after every

333
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: Yankees game. We're gonna be here again Friday night. We

334
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: do a voicemail show in the mornings. We're gonna do

335
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: a voicemail show tomorrow. We're gonna do your thoughts on

336
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: this game in general, and we might do a little

337
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: bit of content over the All Star break. But I'm

338
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: not gonna do any live shows until Friday night, unless

339
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: possibly we do like a Friday morning voicemail show we'll

340
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: see like a preview for the second half, or unless

341
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: there's a trade, which very well could happen. If that's

342
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: the case, We'll go live, but I'm gonna take a

343
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: little break to kind of work on some behind the

344
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: scenes stuff. My computer needs a lot of maintenance and

345
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: we got to make some updates to the show. Let's

346
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: get some final thoughts everybody. Jack so o'hallocks says, Boon

347
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: lies so much he could be a politician. Heard a

348
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: funny quote the other day said politicians are like diapers.

349
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: They should be changed often. And for the same reason,

350
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: Brooks says, if nine out of ten times the first

351
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: runner reaches, then you shouldn't be closing games. Agree and

352
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: JD would like to remind us all that Holmes is

353
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 1: an All Star. Yes, Yes, an All Star, the All

354
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,840
