1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: It is February twenty first, and it was the Yankees 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: home spring opener in Tampa against the Detroit Tigers, a 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: potential playoff preview. Aaron Judge made his spring debut. We 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: got Jason Dominguez in the lineup and Carlos Legrane bringing 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: triple digit. All that and more coming up next. This 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: is Pinstriight Territory. 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: Wanted to talk at sol. 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 3: We're the New York Yankees. 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: How's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. First appearance 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty six for the victory hat. Yankees take 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: this one in a nail bier twenty to three over 12 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: the Detroit Tigers. That was more of a mugging than 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: a baseball game. Yankees absolutely clobbered the baseball today, just 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: killing it. Aaron Judge with two home runs. We had 15 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: a grand slam from Roderick area. Spencer Jones with a 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: home run and breaking out his new like sho hey 17 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: o tawny style approach at the plate, which I thought 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: was great. He kind of just like pivots, that front leg, 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that front knee inward and then just unleashes his hands 20 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: and the power was very, very very respectable. Four hundred 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: and eight foot home run to straightaway right field. You know, 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: I was, actually I was brushing my teeth when Spencer 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: Jones hit that home run when he was at the plate, 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: and I've got a TV behind me so I can 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: see it in the in the mirror, and I was 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: looking at his stance, and for a second I thought 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,559 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge was at the plate, because his stance looks 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: so much like Aaron Judge these days. And yeah, he 29 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: tattooed that one. Kevin Barry says baseball is back, yes, sir, 30 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge in mid season. Formed two home runs today, 31 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: and usually he starts off spring training pretty slowly, but 32 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: today looking good. Two home runs for RBIs. He hit 33 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: one to center field, he hit one uh to left field. 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: So nice start for Captain America as he gets ready 35 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: for the World Baseball Classic. For Ribby's, let's go ahead 36 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: and get to the recap. 37 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: All right, let's go. Let's get it going, Yank. 38 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: He's actually played some sloppy baseball in the first inning 39 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: error by the catcher on a throwdown to third base, 40 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, it's gonna be another. 41 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: One of those days. After a tough opener. 42 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: I was not looking forward to a sloppy day, but 43 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: thankfully they were able to turn it around. Dominguez was 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: in the lineup. He drew a walk in his first 45 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: at bat, and he spent on a couple of close pitches. 46 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: I always love seeing him do that. They talked a 47 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: little bit about how he's probably gonna open up the 48 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: season at Triple A. I think as much as I 49 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 1: like Jason Dimingez and as much as I want to 50 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: see him play, I think that's probably the best move 51 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: because for his development, what you need is for him 52 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: to get regular at bats, and he's just not gonna 53 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: get enough playing time. With the outfield the way it 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: is now, we still haven't seen, you know, Cody Bellinger 55 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: or Trent Grisham in this spring. I'd imagine that if 56 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: those guys are healthy, they're gonna be in left field 57 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: and center field respectively. So hey, you know, good luck 58 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: to Jason and getting back to the major leagues. I'm 59 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: still a fan. I'm still a believer. I still want 60 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: to believe in the Martian. Ryan McMahon doubled in the 61 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: first inning, opposite field double. Nice piece of hitting. They 62 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: mentioned on the broadcast and it was pretty obvious if 63 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: you watched him last year and then watch this game 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: that he has changed his stance quite a bit. He 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: has closed his stance, which they think will help him 66 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: cut down on the swing and miss. Anything that will 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: help him cut down on the swing and miss, I'm 68 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: all for right, we need more contact out of him. 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: He's already a spectacular third baseman, not a good third baseman, 70 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: a spectacular third basement. So if he can be a 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: better offensive player, it just makes him that much more 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: valuable to the team. But yeah, cutting down on the 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: strikeouts is essential. When he hits the ball, he hits 74 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: it hard. The problem is he just doesn't hit it enough. 75 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: And we had a call I think it was last year, 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: maybe the year before. It might have been during the 77 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: Joe Joey Gallow days where you know, someone who was 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: talking about Gallow's average exit velocity and we had a 79 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: call in and somebody was like, you know, how come 80 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: we don't factor in the zeros into the average exit velocity, 81 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: the whiffs, the swings and misses, And that has stuck 82 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: with me because I think that's something that should be 83 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: factored in, right, So I think I think it should. 84 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: I think you should factor in how much a guy 85 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: swings and misses and not just look at hard contact. 86 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: But you know, if he does hit the ball hard, 87 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: win he makes contact, you just wanted to make more 88 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: of it. Goldie Knocks picked up a two run single. 89 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Welcome back to Goldie. Is good to see him back 90 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: in there. I think he's on the team really more 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: for his mentorship and to play against some tough lefties 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: than any other reason. You know, he could play against 93 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: a Garrett Crochet or a Tarik Schooble and give Ben 94 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Rice just a natural day off while also not killing 95 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: his confidence having to face those guys. But I do want, 96 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, Rice to play against most lefties. I think 97 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: the best path for someone to get better is to 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: challenge themselves in the area of the game that they 99 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: struggle with. Right, if you struggle against lefties, you should 100 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: get more opportunities to get better. 101 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: Right. 102 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Not challenging yourself as is not a way to improve 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: it something. Spencer Jones today one hundred and eleven point 104 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: seven off the bat with his home run, his first 105 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: home run of spring, four hundred and eight feet. From 106 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: the look on the camera, it looked like it went 107 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: one thousand feet. I mean, this ball was absolutely smoked. 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: It ended up in the parking lot, completely destroyed that baseball. 109 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: And then Aaron Judge, of course, with a couple of dingers. 110 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: First one was four hundred and twenty feet one hundred 111 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: and four and a half off the bat. Second one 112 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: only went three hundred and ninety five, but it was 113 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: hit harder, one hundred and six point one off the bat. 114 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: Captain America getting ready for the World Baseball Classic. And 115 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: by the way, I mentioned this yesterday and I'm mentioning 116 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: it again today. We are gonna do some watch parties 117 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: for the World Baseball Classic. Well, Frankie Baseball on for 118 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: at least one of them, will probably get Terrence on 119 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: for one of them. I'll see if we can get 120 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: somebody else, maybe in Aerk Kratz or somebody. 121 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 2: We'll see. 122 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: But we're definitely gonna cover the World Baseball Classics some 123 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: USA games. But gotta look at some prospects today and 124 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: some former prospects that have kind of fallen off. So 125 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: first of all, we got to look at George Lombard Junior. 126 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Now he didn't do much offensively. I'm gonna pull up 127 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: the box score and see what he did. He went 128 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: oh for one with a ribi. But he made a 129 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: fantastic play on defense, a play in the hole that 130 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: I don't think Anthony Volpie makes just given Anthony Volpi's 131 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: arm strength, I don't think he makes that play. And 132 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, we got to see guys like Harrison Cohen, 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: who's been getting a lot of attention. I thought he 134 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: looked good today. Brock Salviach had four strikeouts today in 135 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: two winnings. He was a guy who really really pitched 136 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: well a couple of years ago in spring training, but 137 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: had a tough year at Double A last year. 138 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: ERA over five. Roderick Arius was a guy. 139 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: Who was a big time international prospect. Kind of fell 140 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: off the radar a little bit because he hasn't hit. 141 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: But today he smoked a grand slam. But what ticked 142 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: me off about it, and this really grinds my geas 143 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: is yes, was doing a promo and they cut back 144 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: to the game after the ball was already in the air, 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: so you missed the swing and the contact, and that 146 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: drives me nuts. It's like when you're watching basketball and 147 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: they cut to some celebrity in his stands. You know, 148 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: here's Charlie Sheen and you miss a you miss a bucket. 149 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: Come on, we can do better than that, producers, Let's go. 150 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, Harrison Cohen looked good. I thought that. 151 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: Bednar look good today. 152 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: So overall, you know, fun day to watch if you're 153 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: a Yankees Yankees fan. I mean, I know it doesn't 154 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: count for anything, but twenty to three, you. 155 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: Will take it. Yankees win this one. 156 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: Going away, Let's get the k and as always, let's 157 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: spread the news about the belt winner. I don't think 158 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: there's any doubt today. I guess there could be. You know, 159 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: we did have a grand Slam that's usually an automatic belt, 160 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: but two home runs from Captain America. I see a 161 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: lot of people commenting that they're happy to be back 162 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: in the chat. I am happy to have you back. 163 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: We got bad news for Frankie baseball. Frankie, you were 164 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: on top of the belt standings for a single day, 165 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: but your moment of glory is over. Aaron Judge tied you, 166 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: and I don't think you're gonna catch Aaron Judge this year. 167 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: You know, I decided the belt winner so I can 168 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't happen. But Frankie, tough luck. There 169 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge first belt of the year, and as I 170 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: mentioned yesterday, we're gonna include spring training, We're gonna include 171 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: the playoffs. We're just gonna go straight through and include 172 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: every belt winner this year in our tali. Of course, 173 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 1: Jazz Chishm was the belt winner last year. So nice 174 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: job by Aaron Judge, the captain. All right, let's talk 175 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: about Carlos Lagroney. He was the talk of the day, 176 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: heading in triple digits on the first pitch of the game. 177 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: He topped out at one hundred and two point four 178 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: miles an hour. His fastball seemed I mean, I don't 179 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: want to I don't want I mean, this is one 180 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: hundred plus mile on our fastball is amazing. And maybe 181 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: it was a little bit straight, you know, maybe a 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: little bit straight for me, but still on hundred plus 183 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: is difficult to hit either way. His changeup was nasty. 184 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: He had a pretty good slider. He threw a back 185 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: door slider to the lefties. I thought that was a 186 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: good pitch for him. Overall, two and two thirds innings, 187 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: three hits, two runs, one urn run, two walks and 188 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: two strikeouts. And you know, I thought the changeup was filthy. 189 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 1: It was dropping off the table between ninety one and 190 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: ninety three miles an hour. He had five whiffs today. 191 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: If you look at the pitch breakdown, nineteen fastballs, fourteen sliders, 192 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: eleven changeups, and nine cutters. So throwing the full kitchen 193 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: sink out there and having some success, and his mechanics 194 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: are clean. They are what scouts would call repeatable. He 195 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: was around the strike zone. I thought he kind of 196 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: ran out of gas a little bit in a third inning. 197 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: That's not a surprise. I mean, that's what spring training 198 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: is for building these guys up. Still, fifty three pitches 199 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: is a lot for the first outing of the year, 200 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: and the stuff is real. 201 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: It is not hype. 202 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: You know, Glabor Torres almost took his head off, but 203 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: other than that, he was pretty good. 204 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: Yankees view him as a starting pitcher. For sure. 205 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: He's been a starting pitcher. He's obviously got the pitch mix. 206 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: But I think if you really want to accelerate him 207 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: to the major leagues, I think there is a path 208 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: for him to the bullpen, especially if the bullpen thins out, 209 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: like if you get some injuries. He could take the 210 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: Joba Chamberlain path or the Dell and Betances. Remember both 211 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: of those guys were starters in the minor leagues and 212 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: then they both became relief pitchers. But Tances obviously had 213 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: a bit more success than Jaba Chamberlain. Chamberlain was filthy 214 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: when he first came up. By the way, I helped 215 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: Java design his studio this winter. He said he was 216 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: gonna come on the show, and he didn't. He hasn't yet, 217 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: But Jaba, if you're watching, love to have you back 218 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: on the show. But anyway, nice job by Carlos Legrane 219 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:55,239 Speaker 1: and yes he's got that dog in him. Nice performance 220 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 1: from Carlos lagron A. Let's take a few voicemails here 221 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: in action. This one is about jazz, all right. 222 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm going to comment on the jazz Chisholm thing. 223 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 4: I agree with what Frankie's saying. I don't want to 224 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: hear him trying to go for fifty to fifty. I 225 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 4: want him to copy the Captain Aaron Judge, when before 226 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: last year he wanted to concentrate on getting his bat 227 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: on those outside pitches and laying off the no good 228 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 4: ones and hitting the ball the other way for what 229 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 4: I call team swings, not personal swings. With two strikes, 230 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: cutting down on the swing to put the ball and 231 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: put the ball in play. That's why we've been losing 232 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 4: in the playoffs, because when we face good pitching, you're 233 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 4: not hitting mistakes out of the park all year. So 234 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 4: I want to hear Jazz talk about winning and taking 235 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: team swings and striking out west and putting the bat 236 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 4: on the ball. That's what I want to hear. I 237 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 4: agree with Frankie, have a good one. This is Glenn 238 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: from Massive, that's who has been taking craft from with 239 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 4: Zach Kansas Whole Life Yankees. 240 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Glenn. Yeah, I agree with you 241 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: on Jazz. I would much rather see him, you know, 242 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: cut down and be a complete player than try and 243 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: hit home runs. I don't think that's his game. I 244 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: think he has natural power. I think he could be 245 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: in Alfonso's Soriano type of player right where he's just 246 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: got that natural quick twitch ability where the hands are 247 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: so quick that he's gonna run into some home runs, 248 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: but he doesn't have to try and hit home runs. 249 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: Use your speed. 250 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: My favorite Jazz moment last year wasn't the home runs. 251 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: It wasn't the torpedo bat thing. It was scoring from 252 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: first base on that hit by Austin Wells in the 253 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: playoffs where he really showed off his speed. The athleticism 254 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: is what I love from Jazz, and I want him 255 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: to lean into that now. I think he's gonna hit 256 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: home runs. I think he's gonna, you know, probably hit 257 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: thirty plus if he stays healthy, and he's got a 258 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: real chance. 259 00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: To get forty forty. 260 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: But if you start thinking numbers, right, if you start 261 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: making this about me and my numbers in my contract, 262 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: that's not team baseball. 263 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: And that's a really, really great call by Glenn. Here's Eddie, Hey. 264 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 5: Derek's Eddie just calling in press my opinion on a 265 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 5: couple of things. 266 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna call it here, ed. 267 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: Hey, Derek, it's Eddie, just calling in express my opinion 268 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 5: on a couple of things. I know, Legron, here's the 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 5: big story today. That all looked big. It looked fantastic, 270 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 5: although he had some release point issues, especially with that changeup, 271 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 5: but that's that's expected with the big man. That's gonna happen. 272 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 5: Big men are going to have release point issues. But 273 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you about Spencer Jones and his 274 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: new batting stance with that old tawny style that he's 275 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 5: using where it's almost like a click point position. He 276 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 5: hit the big bomb his first at bat, which was fantastic. 277 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 5: Then he followed up with two k's. I'm the second 278 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 5: against the left. It almost seemed like it was unfair. 279 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 5: It seemed like he's having a problem of getting into 280 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 5: that set click position like Otani when the picture works quick. 281 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 5: Do you think that this new batting stance is gonna 282 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 5: help him out or is he gonna continue to be 283 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 5: a feast of famine type of player, because if he 284 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 5: faced the famine, it's gonna be a shame because he's 285 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 5: really an athletic Adam done. I'm just curious as to 286 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 5: your thoughts on a new batting stance. Thank you. 287 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Hey, Look, I'm for anything that helps right, anything that 288 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: can help him development develop, because the athletic ability and 289 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: the power potential is obviously there. He looks really smooth 290 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: in center field. I love his stride. It's like he's 291 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: got this long stride. It reminds me a little bit 292 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: about Bernie Williams. I know they're different type of human beings. 293 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he's obviously much larger than Bernie is, but 294 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: just a graceful slide or a graceful stride. Look in 295 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: terms of his batting stand, I'm not an expert on 296 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: all the little mechanical tweaks that people were making these days. 297 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: The game has evolved a lot since I was in 298 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: coaching and so forth. But anything he can do that 299 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: will allow him to maximize his potential to cut down 300 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: on the strikeouts to make more contact, I'm. 301 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: All for it. 302 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: He obviously made a tweak last year to really open 303 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: his stance and just kind of crouch down, and that 304 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: really led to an enormous amount of success in the 305 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: second half. He finished with I think thirty five home 306 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: runs last year, and if he can just find a 307 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: way to be more consistent with contact, he's gonna hit 308 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: for a ton of power. You can just see it. 309 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: He's just an enormous human being. And yes, there was 310 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: some Otani in that swing when he crushed it, but 311 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, Otani strikes out a lot too. 312 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: You know, I. 313 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Don't know if it's gonna work against big league pitching, 314 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: but we'll see how it shakes out. He's gonna get 315 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to play at Triple A, and if he 316 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: hits eventually, he'll find a way to get to the 317 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: major league somewhere. 318 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: He's Judge. 319 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek Thomas from Rock and County, New York. I 320 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 6: just want to say, I think the Yankees are an 321 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 6: Aaron Judge injury away from being very non competitive in 322 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 6: the American League East. If you look at the roster, 323 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 6: really there's no certified hitters that you know will have 324 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 6: good production, and that's Aaron Judge, Cody Bounder, and Ben Rice. 325 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 6: If Aaron Judge goes down, the Yankees are laughable. Yeah, 326 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 6: their rotation might be okay. Bullpen I think will be at. 327 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 7: Like, I think it will be better than what people expect, 328 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 7: but like I'm kind of scared and I'm hoping not. 329 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 7: But it's gonna be thirty four years old. Man. You know, 330 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 7: you don't know how much time he has left in 331 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 7: the tank, and his bones might be a little fragile. 332 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 7: Who knows. 333 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 2: Well. 334 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say that you take away 335 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: any team's best player and they're gonna have problems, right, 336 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: And yes, the Yankees do have a lot of eggs 337 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: in the air and Judge basket and every time that 338 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 1: he's gone down in the last several years, the Yankees 339 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: have struggled, including last year. That being said, I mean, 340 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: you take Vladdie away from the Blue Jays and they struggle. 341 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: You take Otani away from the Dodgers and they struggle. 342 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 2: You know, you take. 343 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: Roman Anthony away from the Red Sox and they weren't 344 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: as good. I mean, you take any team's best player 345 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: and they're gonna struggle. Now, is it disproportionate with the Yankees? 346 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: Maybe because Judge is worth basically two players. He's basically, 347 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: you know, a ten more. You know, he's basically almost 348 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: like two All Star caliber players. You take two all 349 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: stars out of any roster and they're really gonna struggle. 350 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: Here's a call from Marriabeth. 351 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 3: It's Mary Beth, and you know what I'm hearing. I 352 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: love this idea of putting McMahon at shortstop. 353 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 5: What have we got to lose? 354 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 3: This guy can play and maybe it'll help him be 355 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 3: better on the offense. I don't know, but I love 356 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 3: let's do it because we don't have a shortstop and 357 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 3: we have nothing to lose. Okay, see you doll feel 358 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: better same here. 359 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 2: Appreciate it. 360 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still recovering day This is I think day 361 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: four of being sick. 362 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 2: Maybe day five. I don't know they all start. 363 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: To run together when all you do is like work 364 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: and then take Nike Will to go to sleep and 365 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: then wake up and work again. 366 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 2: That's that's what That's been my life most of the week. 367 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: And I'm really really looking forward to this podcast being 368 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: over so I can take a nap. 369 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie to you. 370 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: But you know, as far as McCann playing shortstop, m McCann, 371 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: I did it again. 372 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: McMahon, I don't know why I. 373 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: Keep doing that. I mean, I did it all last year. 374 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon as a shortstop. I think we're finding out 375 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: that he is probably the backup shortstop if if we 376 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: lose cab I Arrow because right now we don't have 377 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: Volpee and if cab I Arrow goes down, you really 378 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: don't have another shortstop rate to step in. 379 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: So I mean, you could play Oswaldo Cabrera over there. 380 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: He can up through the minor leagues as a shortstop, 381 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: but I think they like Carbrera better at third base, 382 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: So I think what would happen is Cabrera would be 383 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: the third baseman and McMahon would slide over to shortstop. 384 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 2: That's kind of that's kind of the way I view it. 385 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: Here's another call about Spencer James. 386 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 7: Brett quick question. 387 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 5: It's Spencer Jones has a good spring but doesn't make 388 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 5: the team. 389 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 7: Will he be treated the Yankees. 390 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 4: Have a lot of outfielders. 391 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: It's a good question. I mean, if he has a 392 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: big spring, he's gonna turn some heads around the league. 393 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: It might raise his trade value. But if he has 394 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: a big spring, I think the Yankee should hang on 395 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: to him, right, I mean, there's always injuries throughout the season. 396 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced that Trent Grisham is going to be 397 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 1: able to duplicate last year. I know the metrics were 398 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: pretty good. But if Spencer Jones can, can you know, 399 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: finally find that potential? You never know what might happen. 400 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: He might turn into a stud.
