1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: All right, the gypathy. It was game two of a 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,440 Speaker 1: doubleheader between the Yankees and the Blue Jays and the 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: final game of the series and of the miniature three 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: game homestand Yankees trying to take the series and sweep 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: the doubleheader. My recap, your reactions coming up next. This 6 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: is Pinstripe Territory one tour catroll. All right, ladies and gentlemen, 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: In case you had forgotten, that is how you close 8 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: out a ballgame. Dream Weaver, Luke Weaver picking up the same. Well, 9 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: it's not a saved, but he closed it out, closed 10 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: out a four run lead. Not a guarantee lately, But 11 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: Yankees sweep the doubleheader. Pretty good day of baseball if 12 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: you're a Yankees fan. They take this one five to one, 13 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: nine hits. They destroyed the Blue Jays in game one, 14 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: eleven to two. We got a pretty good start out 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: of Clark Schmidt today. Few too many walks. Max Fried 16 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: was great in his in his outing, So pitching was 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: solid today. You know. Cruz was great out of the bullpen. 18 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Mark Lighter had three strikeouts and wea were shut it down. 19 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: Tim Hill was solid. Pretty good day. Aaron Judge ended 20 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: his home run drought, Jason Domingez had a pretty good game. 21 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham was fall lexin the Dad muscles, and if 22 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: you watch the game, that Vulti line drive that he 23 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: hit in the eighth inning, that's what I want to see. 24 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: Volpi had a couple of hits today up to two 25 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: twenty eight, so climbing the ladder. That line drive that 26 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: he hit in the eighth just a beautiful piece of 27 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: hitting a rope right over the second baseman's head. That's 28 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: what I want to say. All things considered, the way 29 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: this series ended much better than the the series began 30 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: after that meltdown on Friday night, and we should have swept. 31 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: But the Yankees will head to Baltimore feeling good. Everybody 32 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: except for Devin Williams feeling good. And they now have 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: a record up seventeen and eleven. They are two games 34 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: up in the American League East on the Boston Red 35 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Sox six oh seven win percentage, which is second in 36 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: the American League behind the eighteen and ten Detroit Tigers. 37 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the recap. Oh, let's get 38 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: it going. Clark Schmidt pitched into and out of trouble 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: in the first inning. Put a couple of guys on. 40 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: I thought it was a really good mound visit from 41 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Matt Blake, because right after that, Schmid's stuff started to 42 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: look a lot better. And then the Yankees got it. 43 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Things started right away. Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: again and flexing the Dad muscles. See Yah mustach ride 45 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: all expenses, pay all inclusive, no reservations needed. Michelin Certified 46 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: complimentary beverage service included seven home runs already on the 47 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: season for Trent Grisham. His second leadoff home run and 48 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: it was an absolute nuke, one hundred and seven point 49 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: seven off the bat four hundred and one feet into 50 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: the right field seats. Game was tied up until the 51 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: sixth inning, and then mister Aaron Judge took care of that, 52 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: my man, no doubt or opposite field shot number eight 53 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: on the season for the Captain, and he just could 54 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: not stand for one moment being tied with Trent Grisham 55 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: in home runs. Beautiful opposite field double by Dominguez in 56 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: the bottom of the sixth, ending with two outs and 57 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: a runner on, and that knocked Bassett out of the game. 58 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Domingez has seven doubles now not too bad. He's also 59 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: hit some rockets right at people that have gotten caught. 60 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: I feel like his numbers should be better than they are, 61 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: although he did get a blue hit today that should 62 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: have been a flyout, but the wind took it kind 63 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: of evens out. You know. He did come around to 64 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: score on a base hit by j c Ascar who 65 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: had a great day. JC as scar make and impressions. 66 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: Nice job by Tim Hill in relief of Clark Schmidt 67 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: and then Mark Lighter. He really had that split finger 68 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: fastball dropping off the table today. That thing was unhittable, 69 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: but probably not as unhittable as some of the ones 70 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: that Fernando Cruz that were just defying the laws of physics. 71 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: But he had three strikeouts. Crews only had two, so 72 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Lighters was better. But everybody in the 73 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: bullpen today, if you look at the stats here, they've 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: all got a whip under one. So Tim Hill's at 75 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: zero point eight eight, Mark Lighters at zero point ninety seven, 76 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Fernando Cruz at zero point nine to three, and Luke 77 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: Weavers at zero point five seven. So these guys are 78 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: not allowing many base runners and that's the key to 79 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: a good bullpen. And you know, on Friday night, I 80 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: had Terrence on the show and we were talking about 81 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: the best and worst facial hair, and we neglected to 82 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: mention Mark Lighter, who, despite a great performance today, has 83 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: some really awful facial hair. He's one of those guys 84 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: that I think he needs the Harry's razors from Ben 85 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: Stripe territory. But look, as long as he keeps striking out, 86 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: he can run any look out there he wants. He 87 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: kind of looks like the guy who was the you know, 88 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: great quarterback in your high school and now he sells 89 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: stolen scrap metal. That's who he reminds me of. Fernando Cruz. 90 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: Though lights out two more strikeouts. He's got a one 91 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: point eight zero e RA on the season. You'll take 92 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 1: that from a reliever. That's one run every five innings. 93 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: And Lowisega comes back, this bullpen is gonna get even better. 94 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Bottom eight, they coup de Gra mister j c Escara 95 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: long home run for his first big league home run, 96 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: second RBI of the game, and that set things up 97 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: for our new closer, mister Luke Weaver. Now it's not 98 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: a save, but he did close it down without any trouble, 99 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: throwing strikes, being aggressive, exactly what you want, and for 100 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: the second time today got some wonderful news. The Yankees 101 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 1: win game over, Yankees win Yank captain Johnny Bravo pointing 102 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: out the pimp job from j c on his first 103 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: big league home run. It reminded me a little bit 104 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: of Aaron Hicks's celebrations when he would hit home runs. 105 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it was beautiful. If I could hit it 106 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: that far, I'd do the same thing. That was wonderful 107 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,239 Speaker 1: and so happy for JC. Just a wonderful, wonderful moment, 108 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: for his career, for his life, for all the hard 109 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: work he's put in, you know, driving around as an 110 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: uber driver, thinking about this, dreaming about this, and today 111 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: he's living this, and I hope that he's watching this. 112 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: We have a lot of candidates for the Belt today. 113 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: Volpi had a couple of hits. Clark Schmidt was really good, 114 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham went deep, Aaron Judge had to go ahead 115 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: home run. But for me, j c Ascar, if you're 116 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: watching today, is not only your first home run, it's 117 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: your first belt. Beautiful, beautiful game from JC and a 118 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: beautiful doubleheader from the Yankees. Really he should have swept 119 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: all three games. Like I said, the Friday night loss hurts, 120 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: but it's a great sign that this team got right 121 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: back off the mat and delivered two wins in a row. 122 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: The rainout, you know, maybe that reset things a little 123 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: bit and they were able to kind of shake it off. 124 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: But regardless, great performance from the Yankees. Okay, let's go 125 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: ahead and spotlight mister Clark Schmidt. Now I mentioned he 126 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: had a couple of walks in the first inning and 127 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: then Matt Blake made his mound visit. But after that 128 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: I felt like something switched, like because his stuff just 129 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: looked a lot better. He settled down. He struck out 130 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: Vladdie Junior with a nasty, disgusting sweeper to end the 131 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: third inning. Best pitch he's thrown all season in my opinion. 132 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: But then next batter was Anthony Santander and he destroyed 133 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: went into the second deck or whatever. So you know, 134 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: ups and downs, strikes and gutters. As the big Lebowski 135 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: would say, typically his best pitchers are the cutter and 136 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: the sweeper, but today I don't think his cutter was 137 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: really that effective. It was kind of hanging out over 138 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: the plate or he would miss out with it, but 139 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: you know, still his last couple of starts have not 140 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: been great, so he needed something like this. You were 141 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: hoping that the Blue Jays, who have struggled offensively, you know, 142 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: would allow him to put some momentum together, get some confidence, 143 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: and get going in the right direction. A lot of 144 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: times when someone misses spring training or is behind the team, 145 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: they struggle to catch up all year. We saw that 146 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: with Carlos Rodon a couple of years ago. I've heard 147 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: pitchers say that if you have your spring training disrupted, 148 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: you just feel like you're behind the eight ball all year. 149 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: But it is possible to, you know, put it together 150 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: to catch up, but you gotta have some games like 151 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: this where you're gritty. Now, he had four walks, that 152 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: is not ideal, but he pitched around him. I thought 153 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: it was a good move to get him out of there, 154 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: out of the game with his confidence still feeling good 155 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: after five innings and you know, prevent anything further from happening. Now. 156 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: He has had some trouble in the sixth inning and 157 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: beyond in his career. So if you get five good 158 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: innings with one run out of Clark Schmidt, you got 159 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: to call it a day they did that today. A 160 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: lot of swings and misses. I mean he always gets 161 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: a ton of swings and misses. He had fourteen whiffs today. 162 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: He had five in the first inning. Ninety pitches, fifty 163 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: two strikes. Season et era down to five point five 164 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: to two on the day. Five innings, one hit, one run, 165 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: one walk, sorry, one urn run, four walks and six strikeouts. 166 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: Nice performance fifteen. Christian Velasquez says, Yankees won both games 167 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: and Nicks. What a good day to be a Yankees 168 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: fan and a Knicks fan. Mets lost on an error. 169 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: Too bad. Good day for the rest of us. Now, 170 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: you hope that eventually, if the Yankees do just to 171 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: keep him, that the airbender will figure it out. But 172 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: right now he has been the one week spot in 173 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: the bullpen. The bullpen has been phenomenal. The starting pitching 174 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: is coming around, and the news that Luis Heel is 175 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: throwing is certainly excellent because they could use an injection 176 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: of one hundred mile an hour fastball into that rotation. 177 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: And let's talk about this series. Devin Williams, he was 178 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: launched into the sun. He had the meltdown on Friday. Today. 179 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: You know, we got the news that basically Aaron Boone 180 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: has turned the launch keys, you know, use the launch codes. 181 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: He has lost his closer role, and so Luke Weaver, 182 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: as we saw today, is going to be closing out games. 183 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: Yankees crushed the Blue Jays in the middle game home 184 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: run from Volpi. Big afternoon from Austin Wells. Another multi 185 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: hit game from Aaron Judge, who right now is hitting 186 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: four to six. That's what Ted Williams hit for a 187 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: whole season. The last time someone hit four hundred, it 188 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: was Ted Williams four h six. That's where Judge is 189 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: right now. Tremendous performance from Max Freed. He's now five 190 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: and oher to one point four to three. You have 191 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: to consider him the early favorite for the cy Young 192 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: in the American League in my opinion. You know, if 193 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: he keeps pitching like this, I don't see how he's 194 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: ever gonna lose. He's just unhittable right now. Volpi showed 195 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: signs of getting it going hit on Friday Night. Couple 196 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: of hits in Game one, couple of hits in Game two, 197 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: capped off by what I think is the type of hit. 198 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: He needs to have a hard line drive, kind of 199 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: back up the middle towards the right of second base. 200 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: If he does that, he's gonna be a problem. I 201 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: don't want him thinking home run. I want and the 202 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: home run today he wasn't whaling and bailing. He took 203 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: it the other way. If he's using the whole field 204 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: and hitting it hard, he's gonna be good. Jazz Chisholm 205 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: continues to kind of struggle a little bit now. He 206 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: was one for four in the game tonight, but hitting 207 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: one seventy eight on the season, and so is Bellinger. 208 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: Bellinger now down to one ninety one with a five 209 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: seventy ops. He took the college tonight, he was zero 210 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: for four. Now. I saw some comments about people who 211 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: were really really concerned with him. I still think it's 212 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: I still think it's early because he has a track record. 213 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: You know. You know, guys have cold aprils sometimes. We 214 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: saw it with Judge last year, and he still had 215 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: a hot spring. He had almost too hot of a spring. 216 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: I think it might be a case where someone left 217 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: it in spring training, you know, like he got too 218 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: hot too fast, and now the slump, the ice cold 219 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: portion of his season has hit. While games count. You 220 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: just hope that he turns it up in May, maybe 221 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: as the weather heats up. But we have seen some 222 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: good defense from Bellinger and Trent Grisham, I mean flexing 223 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: the dad muscles bumps seven home runs on the season. 224 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I haven't listened to Mike Francesa 225 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: much recently, but I'm gonna tune in tomorrow because he 226 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: has been a Trent Grisham proponent for a while now. 227 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,559 Speaker 1: He uses every opportunity he can to talk about how 228 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: good Trent Grisham is. And last year I was like, 229 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: come on, give it a rest. The guy is his 230 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: dog do. But this year he's been great, and you know, 231 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: I gotta give a tip of the cap to Mike 232 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: Francesca on that one. And the Yankees will head to Baltimore, 233 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: who is off to a rocky start. They lost seven 234 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: to nothing today and you know, ten and seventeen on 235 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: the season, I mean off to a really, really tough start. 236 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: So the Yankees will head to Baltimore and try to 237 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: keep the win streak going. Gunner Henderson struggled with an 238 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: injury in spring training. He's a little bit behind the 239 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: eight ball he hit. He's hitting two twenty with two 240 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: home runs, and four RBIs. Look if can you imagine 241 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: if Volpie was putting up those kind of numbers through 242 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: eighty two at bats, how angry fans would be. Puts 243 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: things in perspective. They have no starting pitch announced yet 244 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: through the UH for this series, and Charlie Morton, who 245 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: has long been a Yankee killer, is zero to six 246 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: with a ten point three to six ERA. He's been awful. 247 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: They have a Japanese pitcher named Yuki Sugano. I think 248 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: that's how you say it. He's, you know, got three 249 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: point five four ERA. He's one of these guys who's 250 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: in his mid thirties already as a rookie. They have 251 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: zach ef Flyn who's made three starts, so I'm not 252 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: sure who's gonna be pitching. But they do have Felix 253 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: Bautista back in the bullpen. He can be difficult. His 254 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 1: control doesn't seem like it's all the way back. He's 255 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: got six walks and seven innings. Cedric Mullens always tough. 256 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: He's off to a good start, hitting two seventy nine 257 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: six home runs. He's got an on base percentage of 258 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: four to twenty one. But the Yankees have a chance 259 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: to take advantage of a division rival who is struggling 260 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: right now. Uh, these games, every single game counts. And 261 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: at the end of the year, if you look back 262 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: and see that you lost two out of three to 263 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: a team that was ten and seventeen and that got 264 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: them started, you're not feeling too good about it. So 265 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and put our foot on their throat, 266 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, while they're struggling, while they're down. It sounds 267 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: like Grayson Rodriguez could be out for a while. He 268 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: hasn't pitched in a long time. They lost Corbyn Burns. 269 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: Their pitching is hitable and their offense is off to 270 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: a slow start. And don't forget Aaron Judge who hit 271 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: a home run today and he kind of broke that streak. 272 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: He absolutely nukes baseballs in Baltimore every time. All right, 273 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor, which we have the video 274 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: able to run this time? And oh yeah, by the way, 275 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: on the series recap, I realized I have the Guardians. 276 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: I had the Guardian's logo on there, so just a mistake. 277 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: It happens. Second podcast of the day. I am very tired, 278 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: and we're gonna hear from True Classic. I'm gonna grab 279 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: a drink of Wata and then we'll get some final 280 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: recap reactions from you guys. How's it going, guys, I'm 281 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: getting ready to hit my seven iron, but I wanted 282 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: to take a few minutes to talk about True Classic. 283 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: You have mentioned that it's looked like I've lost some 284 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: weight this winter, and that is absolutely one hundred percent correct. 285 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: I lost about thirty two pounds and that's great. I 286 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: feel great all that stuff. But the one downside is 287 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: that a lot of my clothes don't fit anymore. So 288 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: it's a good thing that True Classic came along. They 289 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: make extremely comfortable clothing that's great for walking, it's great 290 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: for practicing your seven iron like I'm getting ready to do. 291 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: It's soft, you can wear it for all seasons. They 292 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: have long sleeves, they have short sleeves, they have pants, 293 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: they have shirts. Everything you would want for a comfortable fit, 294 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: whether you're bundling up for the cold or gearing up 295 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,360 Speaker 1: for spring. Like I am, upgrade your style with clothes 296 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: that actually fit right, even if you lost a bunch 297 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 1: of weight. Just head over to True Classic dot com 298 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: slash stripe to save that True Classic dot com slash 299 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: stripe shop now and elevate your wardrobe today. I'll warn 300 00:17:53,760 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: you my golf swing isn't too good. Nice contact though, 301 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: all of my true classic all right, there we go. 302 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: So there we are, the Yankees seventeen and eleven. You know, 303 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: that's a decent start. I think the Al East is 304 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: very winnable this year. The Red Sox looked like they 305 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: could be good. They're you know, they've they've got some 306 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: serious pitching, you know, and obviously Bregman good fit out 307 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: there in Fenway, the way he pulls the baseball. Devor's 308 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: off to a slow start. But you know there, I 309 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: think that the Red Sox and the Yankees are gonna 310 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: be the two teams in this division. The Rays, I'm 311 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: not buying them long term. They did win today, they're 312 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: fourteen and fourteen. I see them as about a five 313 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: hundred team. They might win eighty five eighty seven games. 314 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: But I think the Yankees are gonna win ninety to 315 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: ninety three games at this point. That's how it's looking 316 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: to me. They're playing pretty well. I mean, we just 317 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't count on this kind of production from Ben Rice 318 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt. I mean, if we had known that Goldsmith 319 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: was going to be raking the way he is, I 320 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: think a lot of people would have said, Okay, this 321 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: team is going to be really really good. And Ben 322 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: Rice hitting like Jan Sota. I mean, you know, I 323 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: think the Yankees can win this division. Jay says, watch 324 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: people start glazing Volpi as soon as he strikes out, 325 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna turn on him again. You're not wrong. Ronald 326 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: Paula says the O's downfall so far has been crazy, 327 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: especially with all that young talent. They do have Jackson Holliday, 328 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: who is a young left handed hitter. Soenter former Yankee 329 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: Matt Holliday. I'm looking forward to watching him play because 330 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: he got off to a really slow start last year. 331 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: He didn't really do much. But he's a guy who 332 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: got to the major leagues very very fast, and you know, 333 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: apparently he's looking pretty good this year. I haven't looked 334 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: at his numbers, I haven't watched him play at all, 335 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: but I've been told he looks like he's the real deal, 336 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to watching him play. Cedric Mullens 337 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: is a really good hitter and gunner Anderson's only a 338 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: matter of time. He's a really good player and as 339 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: people like to point out he was drafted after Anthony Volpi. 340 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: Nick Monico says the AL East is wide open this year. 341 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time the division was this easy, 342 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: maybe the early two thousands. Be careful what you say easy. 343 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure the Yankees wouldn't agree that it's easy. Every 344 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: single game at this level is an enormous challenge. Raymond 345 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: Felon wants to trade Devin Williams for a third basement interesting. 346 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, Oswaldo has had some defensive issues, especially with 347 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: the throws, but he's hit him out three hundred right now, 348 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: so I'm okay just letting him kind of get some 349 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: playing time. And he's been playing over Parazza against lefties 350 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: because he's had some better at bats. But I think 351 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,239 Speaker 1: Paraza is one of these guys that you know, he's 352 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 1: out of options. They obviously don't want to expose him 353 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: to waivers because somebody will grab him. You know, I 354 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: would not shock me if if the Yankees trade him 355 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: at some point involved in a package, because he's just 356 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: not He's just not playing as much, right I mean, 357 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: there is value in having an elite gloves one that 358 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: can play third base, shortstop, and second base. That is, 359 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: without question, an elite skill set, especially late in games, 360 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: close games, when you know you're not really sure about 361 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: you know, who's who's your closer. I mean Devin Williams. 362 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: If he becomes the closer again, I'll be surprised. I 363 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be weavered, especially you saw today just 364 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: the way he handles himself. He's nails. But you know, 365 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 1: late inning defense, it has some value. The question is 366 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: do the Yankees value it more than they value the 367 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: roster spot we'll see. Donny Clark thinks Paraz is getting 368 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: traded at the deadline. I tend to agree. I think 369 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: I think that they're going to figure out something and 370 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: al Contra trade. Maybe. I don't know. Zionistunna says Oswaldo 371 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: is not a serviceable third baseman long term, nor is Paraza. 372 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Both of these guys are backups. The smart move might 373 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: be to get Ben Rice to learn how to play 374 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: third base, but it's too early or too late in 375 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: the year for that. I mean, the time to work 376 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: on that would have been in the offseason and in 377 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: spring training. So maybe next year. I did see that 378 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: eron Otto h'll walk off home run the other day, 379 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: but the Yankees don't want to take on that money. 380 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure what the solution is. I mean, 381 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: Lombard Junior is tearing up in the minor leagues. I mean, 382 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: is he somebody that you call up at twenty years 383 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: old like Jackson Surio. I mean, it's not unheard of. 384 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: We've seen the Angels call up people after just a 385 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: few weeks in the minor leagues in the last couple 386 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: of years. You know, baseball is different now. I mean, 387 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: the minor leagues are well, let's just say college is 388 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: basically like minor league baseball now. But he didn't go 389 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: to college, so you know, he's basically a sophomore in 390 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: college that would be going to the major leagues if 391 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: you were to call him up and he's still at 392 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: High A. But if he starts to advance, maybe he 393 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: becomes your third baseman later in the year. I don't know. 394 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what the solution is. I tend to 395 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: think they're going to go with Oswaldo and just give 396 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: it a shot. But anyway, that's where we're at right now. 397 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: One more time, two wins in one day over nine 398 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: years wins.
