1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: All right, the tip the field.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 2: It is Saturday, May twenty fourth, and it was game

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: two of a three game set between the Yankees and

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: the Rockies. Max Freed was on the mound looking to

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: play stopper after a tough loss on Friday night.

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next.

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: This is pinstrit Territory's going to twelve kipsol.

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 3: All right, how's it going?

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: Everybody? Welcome back.

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: That was the good old fashioned, passionate ass whoopen that

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 2: we were hoping the Yankees would have handed out yesterday,

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: So a day late, but we got the beat down

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: we were expecting, and hopefully we hand out another one tomorrow.

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: Losing a game to the Rockies, I tweeted this morning,

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: feels like losing five in a row to a normal team.

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: Today much more what we expected.

17
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: Yankees demolished the Rockies thirteen to one, ten runs in

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: the fifth inning for the Yankees today smashing the baseball.

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: Every Yankee in the starting lineup had at least two hits.

20
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 2: The Yankees had twenty one hits in the game, and

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: they win their thirty first game of the season. Max

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: Freed is now seven and oh on the air, I'll

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 2: spotlight him in a little bit, but he threw seven

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: and a third innings, allowed just one run seven strikeouts

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: as ERA one point twenty nine. He was phenomenal. Judge

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: went deep again. He has eighteen. He has retaken the

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: major league lead from sho Hey Otani. I said, I

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: want him to hit four in the series. He's halfway there.

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt Goldie Knox had another good day, multi hit game.

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 3: He was three for four.

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: He's still hitting three forty four with an eight to

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: ninety one OPS. And he's having that kind of year

33
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: where you know, you don't necessarily think that he's gonna

34
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: slow down, right, I mean, he's done this type of

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: thing before. He might hit three fifteen or three twenty.

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

37
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: He might not hit three fifty for the year. But

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: he's been extremely productive, extremely productive, and today not only

39
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: the multi hit game, nice play at first base, he

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: stole the bag. He's just a complete player. I love

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: watching the guy. He is hitting over five hundred against

42
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: lefties this year. The last number I saw came from

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: Jack Curry about midway through the game, and it was

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: five sixty one. He was hitting against lefties. That my

45
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 2: friends is just patently absurd. It is just absurd. Five

46
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: sixty one through fifty games, fifty one. Now, Wells had

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: a good day. Grisham had a double. He also banged

48
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: into a couple of double plays. He's cooled off a

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: little bit. I think it's worth noting that Grisham is

50
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: cooled off a little bit. I'd be interested to see

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: if they start just kind of weaning him out of

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: getting all the at bats he's been getting, or if

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 2: they believe in the guy that you know, was so

54
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: hot to start the season and they think they can

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: get him back. We'll see Tomorrow we get the Rubber Game,

56
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: and hopefully the Yankees will take two out of three,

57
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: and again they need to.

58
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't lose two out of three to

59
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: the Rockies.

60
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going.

61
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: All right, so we are going to waste no time.

62
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and get through the recap. Yankees wasted

63
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: no time. Aaron Judge right away, opo, bopo, four hundred

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: and five feet home run number eighteen on the year.

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a little spotlight on Aaron Judge in

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: just a minute. He's pretty good. Guys, I'm starting to

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: think this Aaron Judge might pan out. Offense was great today,

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: but a little sluggish out of the gate. They banged

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: into double plays in each of the first two winnings.

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Rockies actually tied it up in the fourth inning on

71
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: a two out triple and I thought, oh no, please,

72
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: don't let this be happening. But luckily they came right back.

73
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: They answered right back line drive single from Austin Wells,

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: booming double off the left field wall by Oswald Perrazza.

75
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: That kind of started the merry go round. After that,

76
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: the Rockies became the Rockies. Their defense fell apart, and

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: the Yankees, you know, they attacked on a couple of

78
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: sack flies. Wells ripped a double in the gap, Grisham

79
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: hit one off the wall. Before you knew it, ten

80
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: runs were in in the inning and it was eleven

81
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: to one. Game was pretty much over at that point.

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Jason Dominguez had a good day from the right side

83
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: of the plate. We'll talk about him more in just

84
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: a little bit, but this is one of those days

85
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: where you get to pad the right handed numbers a

86
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: little bit, pad the numbers. Overall, his ops up to

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: seven seventy seven, so little slot machine action there, but

88
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: the Yankees hang on to win a nail Bier. Volpi

89
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: also deserves mentioning three for six today with a double

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: couple of Ribi's outstanding performance from Max Freed. We had

91
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 2: three hits from Bellinger, including a double and a triple,

92
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: and I mean a scar came in to play first base,

93
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 2: he picked up a bass knock. You had Reis with

94
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: a double, his first double of the year. I mean,

95
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,679
Speaker 2: the offense just went berserk today and they win, going

96
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 2: away thirteen to one.

97
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: Game over.

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I actually love this comment because it's kind

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: of like a double entendre. Hobby Esco says, super Max

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: locks them down.

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: I love that. That is a great.

102
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: Let's put that on a T shirt.

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: Valin n Y says, that's the run production we expected

104
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: against a putrid team, you know we.

105
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they were jet lagged yesterday.

106
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the story was.

107
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they they didn't have a day off between

108
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: their series with the Rangers and then coming to play

109
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 2: the Rockies last night, So I mean, maybe they're jet lagged.

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: Who knows, Maybe it's just adjusting to the air. The

111
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: I've heard a lot of stories about how when people

112
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: get to Colorado the first day, I mean, you're so

113
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 2: high up and the oxygen is a little you know,

114
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: the air's a little thinner. You don't maybe get as

115
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: much oxygen.

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

117
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: I've heard people have trouble adjusting, so you know, maybe

118
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: that's it. But today was much more what we're used to.

119
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: And they demolished the baseball. We got to hand out

120
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: the elt. What do you say, Max Freed? And with

121
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 2: that we have breaking news. Max Freed now your leader

122
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse. With five belts on the year, Aaron

123
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 2: Judge at four and a half because he split one,

124
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: rodn hanging in there at four. Grisham has three, Domingez

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: has three, Ben Rice with two and a half, Will

126
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Warren has two, Jazz has won a bunch of others.

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: Cabrera has won. He's probably not gonna get another one

128
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 2: this year with that ankle. Carrasco not even on the team.

129
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Ascara has one, Wells has one. Goldie Bellinger. But you know,

130
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: Max Freed is your leader in the clubhouse. And with that,

131
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: let's move on to Max, who was phenomenal seven in

132
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 2: the third innings, he probably could have completed the game

133
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: if you're being honest. Eighty three pitches in seven and

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 2: the third innings. He was extremely, extremely efficient and fifty

135
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: seven strikes, so a high percentage of his pitches were strikes.

136
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: He had twelve whiffs today. Max Bilo was ninety seven

137
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: point six. Era and Whip both held to where it

138
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: was before the game. They were both one was one

139
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: point two nine, the Whip was zero point nine to three,

140
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: and they both stayed the same. He promptly gave up

141
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: a base hit to lead off the game, but then

142
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: pick the runner off. Same story in the third inning,

143
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: gave up a single and then another pickoff. I've said

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: it before and I'll say it again. He's got the

145
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: best pickoff move for a Yankee since Andy Pettitt. And

146
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: here's what makes it lethal. He lifts his leg like

147
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: he's going home, but then he snaps his head towards

148
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: home plate sharply. And as a base runner, you're taught

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: to watch the front knee right or the front hip.

150
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: Henderson used to say he'd watch the elbows, but most

151
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: of the time you're taught to watch the front knee,

152
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: and you know if it goes towards home plate, then

153
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: you can extend your lead or take off. Well, you

154
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: know what Max Freed does is he makes eye contact. Right,

155
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: basic human instinct. It locks onto faces, right when we're

156
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: babies to look at faces, right, we we we see

157
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: if you ever heard of this thing called para dahlia,

158
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: where paradolia, I think is called where we see faces

159
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: where there aren't really faces. Right, you see a dresser

160
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: and it's got a couple of handles, and then there's

161
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: a crack in the wood and it looks like a

162
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: face refrigerator has whatever.

163
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: We see faces.

164
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: And as a human, it's very difficult to not look

165
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: at somebody if they make eye contact with you. So

166
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: what I was watching him today, what he does, He'll

167
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: stare at the runner.

168
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: He'll just look at him.

169
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: And if the.

170
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: Runner looks at you, and he and and and you

171
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: know he senses okay, he's not looking at my knee anymore, Well,

172
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: then he'll go home, or he'll he'll he'll act like

173
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: he's going home. He'll snap his head towards home. The

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: runner gets the extra step and he fires over. So

175
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: if you're not completely locked in and you just allow

176
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 2: yourself to look at him in the face and make

177
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: eye contact. He's got you right where he wants you.

178
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: It's like a venus fly trap man. So he waits

179
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: for his moment, you know, runner makes contact, snaps his

180
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: head and bam, game over. It's actually really brilliant and

181
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,599
Speaker 2: he's got human psychology on his side. I don't know

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: if he does that on purpose, but it works. Eighty

183
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: three pitches, fifty seven strikes. Like I said, phenomenal ratio.

184
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: Really good day for Max Fred anyway, Yeah, I'm loving it.

185
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm loving it.

186
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 2: So all right, let's move on to Aaron Judge. He

187
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: is homeward in back to back games. He now leads

188
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: the league in home runs again. I wanted him to

189
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: hit four in the series, and he's got to get

190
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 2: two tomorrow to do it. That'll get him up to twenty.

191
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: I think he will either way get to twenty on

192
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 2: this trip. He hits pretty well in Anaheim, where the

193
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: Yankees are headed tomorrow to play the Los Angeles Angels

194
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: of Anaheim of Los Angeles County or Orange County of

195
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: Earth of California, or whatever their name is these days.

196
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: But he hits well there, so if he doesn't get

197
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 2: it here, I expect him to get it there. I'm

198
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: also looking forward to seeing how he performs against the

199
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: Dodgers after that tough World Series. Maybe he's got a

200
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: chip on his shoulder to stay away from that right

201
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: field wall. He leads the league in batting average, he

202
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: leads the major leagues and hits. He's reaching base and

203
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: almost half of his played appearances. I mean, he's got

204
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: bondsie and numbers, and bonds never even hit the sigh,

205
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: you know. He's hitting baseballs into other time zones four

206
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: hundred feet the opposite way today like it was nothing.

207
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: Forty six ribies.

208
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: It's still may This is an MVP chatter, I mean,

209
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: and the MVP has kind of become a given for him.

210
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: This is are we watching the best version of Aaron

211
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: Judge ever? And as Francis Healy points out, we might

212
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: get the cy Young and the MVP and maybe the

213
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: Rookie of the Year if Jason, you know, turns it

214
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: up a little bit.

215
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: But I mean, he has been phenomenal. We see the.

216
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: Four hundred foot home runs or four hundred and fifty

217
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: foot home runs and we just shrug. We're just used

218
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: to it. That's how spoiled we are. I just wanted

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: to take a minute to appreciate this guy and what

220
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: he's doing. The Martian, as I mentioned, picked up a

221
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: couple of hits today from the right side. He also

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: had a walk. I think he's improving as a right

223
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: handed hitter. I think he's improving as an outfielder. The

224
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: question for him, though, has been Kenny hit lefties because

225
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: from the from the left side of the played against righty's,

226
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: he has shown that he is special. But if he

227
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: figures it out from both sides, then you stop talking

228
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: about tools, and you stop talking about potential, and you

229
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: start talking about production. Through fifty one games, two forty

230
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: seven with six home runs and seven to seventy seven ops,

231
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: it's not elite, but it's serviceable, especially for a twenty

232
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: two year old. And when you pair that with a

233
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: three forty five on base percentage and elite base running,

234
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: that's a guy I don't think needs to be platooned.

235
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: I mean as a right handed hitter, he is hitting

236
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: the ball harder. And it began just before he hit

237
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: that big home run in Oakland. From the right side,

238
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: he started hitting the ball harder, and now it seemed

239
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: like today he had really good swings. I know it's

240
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: the Rockies, but these are still major league pitchers, you know.

241
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: And the fact that he is, you know, improving so

242
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: rapidly I find really encouraging. Today he was the DH

243
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: but you know, in the outfield, I think he's getting

244
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: better reads, you know. And the two hits in the

245
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: walk today won't make headlines, but it tells us something

246
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: the Martian is learning. And once he fully arrives, he's

247
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: going to be a problem. He is going to be

248
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: a problem for the league, not for the Yankees. It

249
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: gonna be a good problem for the Yankees, all right, ladies,

250
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 2: and down on a quick word from the Hall of

251
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: Fame App. Then back with a couple of voicemails.

252
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: And we have all seen it happen.

253
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: Someone is one leg away from hitting a massive parlay,

254
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: thousands of dollars on the line, and then boom, an

255
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: unexpected strikeout or garbage time bucket wins everything. That's the

256
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: pain of betting on gut feelings. But now there is

257
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: a smarter way. The Hall of Fame app is built

258
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: by lifelong fans who also happen to be ivy league

259
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: data nerds. It gives you a serious edge historical matchup data,

Speaker 2: leg correction tools, player performance insights, and real time odds,

261
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: no more guessing.

262

271
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: All right, So we just talked about Jason.

272
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: Let's play a call.

273
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 4: So refreshing to see you bounce back and see Domingos

274
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 4: get two hits in the fact, why from the right side.

275
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: I know it's Colorado, but man and Volpi could learn

276
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: a lot from DJF DJ stays helpy.

277
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: All right, brother, appreciate the call.

278
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: Volpi actually had a decent day. I don't want to

279
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: rag on Volpi. He went three for six. He's I mean,

280
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: he's got seven fifty seven ops. I don't know why

281
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: everybody's so down on him. To me, I mean, I

282
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 2: just look at it. As we hoped that he would

283
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: be a superstar, because we always hope every prospect will

284
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: be a superstar. It's clear that he's not. But he's

285
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: a you know, an average just slightly above average player,

286
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: good defender in my opinion. You know, I got no

287
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 2: problems with Volpi. He's not the problem. Lemayhew had three

288
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: hits today. He's hitting two sixty nine with a seven

289
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: thirty ops. Hey, look, I mean he's had a lot

290
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: of hits in that ballpark. He's he's played there a

291
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: long time. He's obviously comfortable at second base there too.

292
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: He looked very comfortable today, multi hit game for Wells.

293
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 2: He's up to two oh nine on the season. Let's

294
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: just take a look at the box score, because this

295
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: is a fun box score to look at. You see

296
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: twenty one hits for the Yankees, three hits for Goldschmidt,

297
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: a hit for Escara, one hit for Grisham, one hit

298
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: for Judge, one hit for Reyes, three hits for Bellinger,

299
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: three for Volpi, two for Dominguez, three for Lemayhew, two

300
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: for Wells, and one for Perraza. Praza is still struggling

301
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: offensively at the numbers, you know, one seventy six with

302
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: a five to ninety one. Ops, take a look at

303
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: his numbers. I mean, two home runs nine RBIs just

304
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: not gonna cut it offensively last fifteen games, one thirty eight,

305
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: you know, and that's with hits the last couple of days.

306
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: You know, on the twenty second he was one for

307
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: three against Texas and then today one for four. So

308
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: he has not been great last thirty games, one sixty

309
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: four average. You gotta wonder if this guy just not

310
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: gonna hit major league pitching. So anywhere, that's where we're at.

311
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: Here's Taper talk days, Derek cow Warrio. This is taber

312
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: Tall from the Cascills, Happy the morning day. By the way,

313
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 5: So how great is Max Free?

314
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: Right? He just picked off?

315
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: Who was that guy? Shunk? I don't even know what schunk?

316
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 5: This is the second guy when the third inning his pickoff,

317
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 5: His move is as good as Andy Pettis, Right, that's

318
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: who they're comparing him to. I mean, this is unbelievable

319
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: Max Freed. Who would have ever thought that Max Free

320
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: he's sick to o coming into the game one point

321
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 5: two nine era is with zero point ninety three. I mean,

322
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 5: he is, He's just incredible right now. He's the best

323
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 5: pitcher in baseball that's older is to it just incredible?

324
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: Does anyone missing Lansoto because he wouldn't have had Max

325
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 5: Freed or Paul Goldtenate or Cody Bellinger or even well

326
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 5: seven Williams has been pitching well the plan b I mean,

327
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: anyone miss Lonsto. Okay, yankser up one night thing boy?

328
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: All right, my friend appreciate it. Yeah, you know, it's

329
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: it's funny. I feel like we're gonna keep coming back

330
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: to Juan Soda all year long. I mean, and that's

331
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: that's how big an impact that offseason you know had.

332
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's the different difference I think between you know,

333
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: being kind of maybe like a five hundred team and

334
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: being where we're at now. I think even with Juan Soto,

335
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: this team is not better than what they're playing right

336
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: now because we wouldn't have had Max Fried, who's been

337
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 2: lights out, and when you consider that we lost Garrett

338
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 2: Cole and we probably wouldn't have ponied up for Bellinger. Now,

339
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Ben Rice is playing first base and

340
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: having huge numbers, but I don't think that it would

341
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: be better him full time than the combination of him

342
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 2: and Bellinger or and sorry, and uh Goldsman have been

343
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: and then Bellinger been playing great. We wouldn't have got

344
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: him if we resigned Soda. I you know, I think,

345
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: as John Sterling said on his show the other day,

346
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: it was blessing in disguise, and I said it when

347
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: the bidding got up to six hundred million, I said,

348
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: spread the money around. You're way better off getting multiple players,

349
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: even if a couple of them are on short term

350
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 2: deals like Goldschmid and Bellinger than fifteen years of that

351
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: contract a fifty million. And you know, there's a little

352
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: bit of there's a little piece inside of me that's

353
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: that's happy to see him struggling. Whatever, but whatever, all right,

354
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 2: so let's see here. Zuzu Boy says, I think we're

355
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 2: a five hundred team with Soto. Yeah, I agree, I agree.

356
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: I think I think Max Freed has been that much

357
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: of a difference maker. Now seven and oh on the season,

358
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: one of the best starts that we'll see. Mirkwood Studio

359
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: says Volti heating up.

360
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I hope.

361
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: So, I mean it could be just a product of

362
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 2: playing the Rockies, you know. And Zuzu Boy also pointing

363
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: out the Sotos at two is two thirty six.

364
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: That can't be right.

365
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 2: Let me double check. We're gonna verify this. We're gonna

366
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: double check his numbers because I don't believe that he

367
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 2: is actually hitting two thirty six on the season.

368
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 3: Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle or whatever the phrase is.

369
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: Two thirty six.

370
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: Average average, eight home runs, twenty one RBIs three sixty

371
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 2: nine on base percentage seven to eighty seven OPS. His

372
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: OPS is barely higher than Jason Dominguez. Wow, he's really

373
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: having a bad year for fifty one million. If I

374
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: were a Mets fan, I'd be pissed.

375
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: And people are.

376
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 2: Gonna say, oh, well, you're still talking about want so hey,

377
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: so many in the comments in the voicemail brought him up.

378
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,680
