1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: All right, but Titophelia. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 2: Oh wow. It was game two of one hundred and 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 2: sixty two and the Yankees were in Houston to take 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 2: on the Astros behind Carlos Rodon, who was looking to 5 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: put a bad first season with the Yankees behind him. 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 2: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is n 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: y Why recaps pull me back? 8 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: Hey? All right? 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: Two games, two very close games, hard fought games with 10 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: serious playoff vibes, and for the Yankees, two comeback wins 11 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: on enemy territory in consecutive days. 12 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: It is absolutely what you want. 13 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: Another great night for Oswaldo Cabrera, first Yankee since Starlin 14 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: Castro to have a four hit game in the second 15 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: game of the season. He went four for five. Another 16 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: good night for Juan Soto, who gave us all a 17 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 2: scare at one point, and Carlos Rodon bent but did 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: not break. Got to give him a round of applause. 19 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: Really nice job. I'll tell you what, though, the jerseys 20 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: this year are absolutely completely disgusting. They were created by 21 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: a new manufacturer. I don't know if everybody's followed this story. 22 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: It used to be made by Majestic and then Nike, 23 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: and now this year. The fanatic fanatic I think is 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: called fanatics something like that, and they're very thin. They're 25 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: supposed to be moisture resistant, but my god, everyone looked 26 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: drenched out there tonight, especially the pitchers. It's actually kind 27 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: of gross. Oraldus Chapman is gonna need to wear like 28 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: three jerseys. He's gonna have to wear layers. Carlos Rodon 29 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: looked like he was on the set of a James 30 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: Cameron movie, just dripping soaked. Tonight's game was on Apple TV, 31 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 2: so that's why we're getting highlights nice and early. I 32 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: think I might just make this a more frequent thing, 33 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: just have the highlights up early in the game, early 34 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: in the podcast. Here in case you missed the game, 35 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 2: you can see him nice and big full screen. But 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: if you missed it, yes, it was on Apple TV. 37 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: It's gonna happen a number of times this year. But 38 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: that is one of the reasons why this channel exists, 39 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 2: in case you missed the game. So big start for 40 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: Carlos Rodon tonight with a two point five zero ERA 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: in his career against the Astros. That is one of 42 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: the reasons they picked him up. Obviously, terrible last season, 43 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: had the back injury in spring training and never recovered. 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: Finished at three and eight with a six point eight 45 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: five ERA, which is just bad beyond words. Alex Gerschal says, 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: imagine C C. Sabbathia with these jerseys. 47 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: Oh my, I don't know if I want to imagine that. 48 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: There like winning anyway. 49 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: With the exception of Garrett Cole's injury in Juan Soto's 50 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: first year in Pinstripes, Carlos Rodin has potential to be 51 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: the biggest story for the Yankees this season. Will he 52 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: bounce back from an absolutely atrocious first season with the Yankees. 53 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 2: Worth noting also that the Yankees picked up TJ. Brubaker, 54 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: a starting pitcher who has pretty good metrics but has 55 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,839 Speaker 2: not pitched since twenty twenty two with the Pirates. He's 56 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: recovering from Tommy John surgery, expected back in July. I 57 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: honestly see this as more of a move for next year. 58 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: He's got some control, he's got a decent FIP or 59 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: fielding independent pitching, so the Yankees might be able to 60 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: turn him into something, but this year kind of like 61 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: an emergency guy. Maybe he'll be strong down the stretch, 62 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 2: but I wouldn't look for much from him. Another reason 63 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: I was looking forward to tonight's game was Austin Wells 64 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 2: was making his debut. He swung the bat great at 65 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: the end of last season and again in spring training, 66 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: had a big bunt tonight, and the Astros can run 67 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: the basis, so I was curious to see how he 68 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: would do behind the plate. They ran on him pretty well. 69 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: Christian Xavier was on the mound for the Astros. He 70 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 2: absolutely gives the Yankees fits always as probably always will. 71 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: And you know he was filthy again tonight. I mean 72 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 2: he just shut the Yankees down six shutout innings. Juan 73 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: Soto and Oswaldo Carbrera were really the only guys who 74 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: didn't look completely overmatched by Christian Xavier and Stanton. I 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: know he had a home run in this game, But 76 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: if there was a giant asteroid headed for the Atlantic 77 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: Ocean and the only way to save the world was 78 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: for John Carlos Stanton to hit at Christian Xavier slider, 79 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: guess what surfs up? 80 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: Oh? 81 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 2: So Yankees win another game there, two to zero on 82 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: the season. 83 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Oh, let's get it going. 84 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: Chat billing up over seven hundred and seventy five and 85 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: the check God and hit that like and subscribe. So 86 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: with Rodon, what you're looking at early on is velocity, 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: because at the end of the season his velocity was down. 88 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: There was some mixed results with his velocity in spring training. 89 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 2: You're looking for the high velocity ninety six, ninety seven, 90 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 2: ninety eight, you're looking for the ride on the fastball, 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 2: guys being late, and they were. 92 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: Problem was he was missing out of the zone a lot. 93 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: He was up, but I think he'll dial that back 94 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 2: in as the season goes along. Fun moment against Tyle 95 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: Cuck Kyle Tucker. He came up and in. I don't 96 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: think it was on purpose, but it almost took his 97 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 2: head off, like that cardboard cutout in Major League remember 98 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: that when Charlie Sheen's warming up in the bullpen, he 99 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: hits the cardboard cutout and the whole head comes off. 100 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: Two nights in a row with a Major League reference, 101 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: I think that's a record. 102 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Anyway, next pitch was a nasty slider and he kind 103 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: of bailed out Tucker did like I don't know if 104 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: you remember John Cruck against Randy Johnson in the ninety 105 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: three All Star Game at Camden Yards where he just 106 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 2: threw his hands out there, threw his ass out there 107 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: and bailed. But he was sitting at ninety six ninety 108 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: seven with the fastball. The stuff was good. I've encouraged. 109 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: Control was not great. He had three walks, but that's 110 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: to be expected at this point in the season. Framber 111 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: Valdez couldn't get the ball over the plate at all 112 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: yesterday either in the third inning when the game came 113 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 2: back on on Apple TV, and kudos to Apple TV. 114 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: They've added alternate broadcasts for audio, so we were able 115 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: to get John and Susan tonight and great picture quality 116 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: on there. I watched a little bit on the Magic 117 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: Hat and I watched a little bit on the computer, 118 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: but beautiful presentation anyway, third inning, the cameras come back 119 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: on and Jan Soda was hunched over in some kind 120 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: of discomfort and you see the trainer running out to him. 121 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: So I'm sitting here going into cardiac arrest. Just turns 122 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: out he's okay. 123 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: It was a cramp. 124 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: I saw him scarfing down a banana later in the game, 125 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: so probably just inferior potassium, as Borat would say. Carlos 126 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: Rodon pitched into and out of trouble in both the 127 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: third and fourth innings, a. 128 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: Lot of pitches. He had some hard hit balls too, 129 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: but right at guys. 130 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: He did wiggle out of trouble when he needed to, 131 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: had to change his jersey a couple of times. Final 132 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: line four and a third innings, five hits, one run, 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: three walks, four strikeouts. Honestly, not even April yet, so 134 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: I'm not worried about him not going that deep into 135 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: a game. Not a horrible performance. I did feel like 136 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: he had an extra gear tonight when he needed it. 137 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 2: He did not have that last year, so that was 138 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: good to see. It was a grind for sure, gritty 139 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: and again March twenty ninth. 140 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: You'll take it job well, don't. 141 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: I think the Apple announcers put it well. He showed 142 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: us glimpses of the old Carlos Rodon. He dialed it 143 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: up when he needed to, he bet, but he did 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: not break. Obviously, you want more length. But it could 145 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: have been even better if Alex Verdugo had come up 146 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: with a couple of tough catches that he missed. I'm 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: not blaming Alex Verdugo here because those were tough plays, 148 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: but they led to more pitches and probably a shorter 149 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: outing for Rodin. 150 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: If we're being honest, Nick. 151 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: Birdie came in and made his first relief appearance of 152 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: the season in relief of Carlos. Did a nice job. 153 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: Luke Weaver looked good out there today. Top seven Yankees 154 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: got on the board, very patient bats from the youngsters. Volpi, 155 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: who had great at bats yesterday, picked up a walk, 156 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: Wells with a walk, crucial walks, and then Oswaldo Carbrera 157 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 2: tied the game with a line drive single through the 158 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: left side. Next batter was Labor Torres, who got smoked 159 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 2: by an up and in fastball to the right thrump 160 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: a right thumb. He crumpled to the ground in pain, unfortunately, 161 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: and uh, it's not what you want. Second day in 162 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: a row that a Yankees hitter has been drilled by 163 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: an up and in fastball Rizzo yesterday Torres today. He 164 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: stayed in the game to run the bases, but took 165 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: himself out of the game during a meeting on the 166 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 2: mound in the bottom half of the seventh. You'd have 167 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: to imagine that he's gonna get some X rays tonight. 168 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: Jami Jones came in and played second base. Gots the 169 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: balls hit to him, did a nice job anyway. The 170 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: hit by pitch loaded the bases for Juan Soto, who 171 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: eyeballed a few very close pitches again and drew a 172 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: basses loaded walk to give the Yankees the lead, a 173 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: lead which they would not relinquish. It's uncanny how he 174 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: just doesn't swing at pitches out of the zone. I 175 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: don't think he chased the ball out of the zone 176 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 2: all night. He's absolutely incredible. Yankees took a commanding lead 177 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: on some terrible Astros defense and another big hit from Oswaldo. 178 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 2: In the eighth, so Volpi grounded into what should have 179 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: been a double play, but Pana tried to rush the 180 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: throw to second base and Verdugo win in hard, hard 181 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: nose slide into second and the ball got away. Austin 182 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: Wells dropped down a surprise bunt, pitcher threw it into 183 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: right field, and I was and yeah, I mean runners 184 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: came around, and then Oswaldo Carbrera ripped one up the 185 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: middle to make it six to one for the Yankees. 186 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 2: And he is absolutely on fire to open the season. 187 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: He's got fire, and we got some super chats rolling in. 188 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: I'll get to him after the recap. I promise. They 189 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: added a new feature to my software this year where 190 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: the super chats automatically get saved, so I can go 191 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: to a different tab and I won't miss any I 192 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: know occasionally I would miss some last year, but that 193 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 2: will not happen this year. And we'll read them as 194 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 2: long as they're not awful anyway. So second night in 195 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: a row that the Yankees batted around, and then in 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: the top of the nine, the Yankees tacked one on 197 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: courtesy of Big g. 198 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: I stan Tony carl Stanton Hicks it. 199 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: Out absolute laser beam, so we know he can still 200 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: do it. This was a slider, I believe, and Jesse, 201 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: by the way, says would not have been a DP. 202 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: I agree. They were trying to rush. 203 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: It because of Opie's speed as you see him hit 204 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: one over the one point five sign and I shot 205 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: for John Carlos stand first home run of the year, 206 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and nine mile an hour exit velocity, laser beam. 207 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 2: Clayton Beeter made his major league debut and the ninth 208 00:11:24,400 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: had an easy inning and the Yankees win seven to one. 209 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: And Robert Ryan brings up the Albarez double play. 210 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 2: So I didn't mention that as part of the recap, 211 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: but I was preparing for the game. But yeah, so 212 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: there was a funny play where Alvarez rounded first base, 213 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 2: the ball got thrown away and he just kind of 214 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: stood there in the baseline forgot the rules of baseball 215 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 2: for a minute, got agged out for a double play. 216 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: Hey, that's baseball anyway. 217 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 2: Yankees are two and oh they've taken both games and 218 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: enemy territory against the Astros, who are zero and two 219 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: for the first time in thirteen years. We gotta hand 220 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: out the nightly hardware. Oswaldo almost won the belt last night, 221 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: but Soto stole it at the last moment. But tonight 222 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: the Wizard who is back left absolutely no doubt. 223 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: Sid for ice Age. You can't tell me he doesn't 224 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: look like Sid for ice Age anyway. 225 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: Four for five game had a chance at five hits, 226 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: but struck out in the top of the ninth. I 227 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: was rooting for a three run home run right there, 228 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: just to put the exclamation point on things. 229 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: But it is what it is.

We can do a lot 239 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: more things, a lot more merch. We got Scott Braun 240 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: on the other night. Eric Kratz was on. He said 241 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: he wants to do another post game with us this year, 242 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 2: so I got him penciled in for when the Martian 243 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 2: comes back because I sent him a Martian. 244 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: Hoodie, so I want to make him wear it on 245 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: the on. 246 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: The live show anyway, keep those likes coming, keep those 247 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: subscription coming in Selfishly, I want to make a push 248 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: for forty thousand, because we would be the second Yankees 249 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: podcast to cross the forty thousand mark. Let's go ahead 250 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: and take a look at the box score tonight, but 251 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: first let's get to some super chats. So Ian says 252 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: the photo of al Twove flying back off the plate 253 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: should be framed at them. I don't know what MoMA 254 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 2: Museum of Modern Art. Maybe and how. 255 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: Did he not see that coming? Was his buzzer malfunctioning? 256 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: I like it? 257 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: Tyrone Jackson says, appreciate your content, love you going live 258 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: as soon as the game ends. I always do try 259 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: to go live as soon as I can after the game. 260 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: The only time that I'm a little bit late is 261 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: when stuff happens in the ninth inning because it takes 262 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: a minute to get the highlights. But usually we have 263 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: the stream up and running and people can, you know, 264 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: hop on and wait and be there when the game 265 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: goes live. 266 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: But appreciate it. Aaron. 267 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: Aaron says, how many random peed tests is Waldo getting? 268 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Now? Look? 269 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: I mean he's just hitting line drives. That's what we need. 270 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: I also like the opposite field double. You know, he's 271 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 2: a switch hitter, but much better from the left side 272 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: and swing the bat well from the left side. So 273 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: far this year, chick Litz says, the Astros embarrassing themselves. 274 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: I am here for it. It's too early, but at 275 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 2: least we've earned a split. They will not take their 276 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: opening series against US. Mister xces Jomar Roux says, Lefty 277 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: Waldo maybe our secret weapon instead? 278 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: Of switch hitting Waldo. 279 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, if he can hit left, he's lefty, 280 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: then let him try it. And then Victor Ortiz says, 281 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: do you see a difference in Oswaldo's swing? Looks the 282 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 2: same to me, just better results. You know, it looks 283 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: the same to me, And thank you for the Dono. Yes, 284 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: he did hit with Aaron Judge and Labor Torres all winter, 285 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: and so you know, you have to think that he 286 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: made some adjustments. He got better by being around those guys. 287 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: There was an interesting story during the game where I 288 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: was listening to the broadcast with John and Susan, and 289 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: Susan was talking about how she was interviewing Oswaldo before 290 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: the game and he had to stop mid interview because 291 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: was going to take batting practice and he wanted to 292 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: go there and watch him and just watch how he 293 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: does things. Obviously, that's huge now with one sodoh. He 294 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: obviously is a dynamic offensive player, huge power. But when 295 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: he's in batting practice, they say he goes line drive 296 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: opposite field, line drive opposite field, over and over and 297 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: over again. And we saw one in the game tonight 298 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: in the first inning, line drive right over the shortstop 299 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: when you down to two strikes and you're at bat, 300 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: you know it's a good approach to let the ball 301 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: travel a little bit more. Right, most pitchers are gonna 302 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: try and get you out away most of the time. 303 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: That's not true of everybody or every at bat, but 304 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 2: most of the time, with two strikes, you're gonna get 305 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 2: a pitcher away, either a fastball away trying to freeze you, 306 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: or a breaking ball away. So it seems like with 307 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: two strikes he just sits back, waits for that ball 308 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 2: to travel, let it do whatever it's gonna do, and 309 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: just take a late swing and hit it the other way. 310 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 2: That's the secret to hitting the other way. When you're 311 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: a kid. A lot of times if you're playing I 312 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: don't know, a little league or whatever, the coach will 313 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 2: say if you're hitting the ball the opposite way, you're late, 314 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: you're swinging late. But what you're really doing is, you know, 315 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 2: taking the ball the other way correctly. When you're hitting 316 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: the ball the other way, you just take your normal swing. 317 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 2: You wait for it to get a little bit deeper 318 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 2: and put your normal swing on it and try and 319 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 2: barrow it up. Now, we saw Oswaldo do that a 320 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: couple of times today, So maybe he's watching Sodo and 321 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: trying to learn from him in the way that he 322 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 2: approaches is at bats, especially with taking the ball the 323 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: other way. 324 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: So that's that's my hope. We got some breaking news. 325 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: I do have a a sound for that somewhere, but 326 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: I can't find it right now. X rays negative for 327 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: glabor torres. That's what you want to hear. One shock 328 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: me if he's out of the lineup tomorrow or for 329 00:17:53,760 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 2: a couple of days though. So anyway, Valen and why 330 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 2: says man. The ball was finding Verdugo in those early innings. 331 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 2: Thought he was gonna make that diving catch, but he 332 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: missed ya bobble. He also had a play up against 333 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: the left field foul wall that he jumped for and 334 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 2: couldn't bring in. You gotta think the fans were probably 335 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 2: giving him a hard time to look. I like what 336 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm seeing from Verdugo so far. I know that he 337 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: doesn't have the greatest reputation. I know Jonathan Papplebond was 338 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: all over him this winter on Foul Territory and on 339 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: social media. I saw every word out of his mouth 340 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 2: live and it made me a little skeptical and then 341 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: I saw Joel Sherman on Foul Territory talk about, well, 342 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: I think the Yankees in June are gonna be upset 343 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: that they traded for Verdugo. What I'm seeing from Dugo 344 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 2: is a guy who plays hard, who wants to win, 345 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 2: who's excited. He's obviously friends with Aaron Judge. After every play, 346 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: they're slapping hands, they're smiling, they're laughing. He's got good speed, 347 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: he has tough at bats. Look, he's not gonna be 348 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: a thirty thirty guy. He's gonna be a solid left 349 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: fielder who he made a great catch last night. He 350 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 2: ran down a couple of nice plays tonight. He's got 351 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: a good arm. We saw that last year. He Uh, 352 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: he's tough to strike out, you know. I think he 353 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 2: struck out ninety six times in his season high, and that, 354 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 2: like I said a couple of weeks ago, that's the 355 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 2: first half for some Yankees. So I'm liking what we're 356 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: seeing early returns from mister Alex Verdugo. Anyway, and Victor 357 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: Ortiz says papal Bond doesn't have the best reputation either. Granted, granted, 358 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: but you know, different strokes for different folks. Not everybody's 359 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: gonna get along with everybody. That's just the nature of 360 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 2: the world we live in. So hey, Yankees win a 361 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 2: good one, h and I'm unfortunately for the Astros the 362 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: best they can do is split now. So Astros fans, 363 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: you got to imagine right now are sweating, not feeling 364 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: great about this? Yankees win to one. All right, let's 365 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: take a few more of your comments here. We got 366 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: another super chat here from Wyatt bards As should we 367 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: be concerned with Aaron Judge? No, too early to be 368 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: concerned with Aaron Judge. He's typically kind of a slow starter. 369 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 2: I think, you know, he had a home run opening 370 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: Day last year, but he doesn't always get off to 371 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: a hot start. And he missed a lot of spring training. 372 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: You know, I think he only had about thirty at 373 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: bats in spring training. You'd like to get about fifty. 374 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 2: So I'm really counting on his first twenty at bats 375 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: of the season. And now he's had about what he 376 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: had five today at four yesterday, so he's had nine 377 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: at bats, nine plate appearances. I'm counting on him taking 378 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: another couple of days to kind of round into form. 379 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 2: I expect him to get going against the d Bacs. 380 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,199 Speaker 2: That's my projection. He's gonna pick up a couple of 381 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: big hits against the Diamondbacks. Anyway, Supreme Panda says, y'all 382 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: shouldn't be talking. Astros beat y'all in the playoffs. Well, 383 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: that's true, but we won tonight and last time, and 384 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: Astros have a nice big donut in the win column. 385 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up. I gotta get out of here, 386 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: prevent as it shut out. 387 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to hear all of this, And now he 388 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: has been snapped like Thanos in another world. Two wins 389 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: from an ice cold Aaron Judge and also without Garrett Cole. 390 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: Now tomorrow we're gonna get Marcus Stroman. 391 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: I do believe. 392 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 2: Let's take a look just to verify, because I don't 393 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: know if the Yankees have changed it up, but he 394 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: was slotted to be the number three starter, and he 395 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: will pitch against Hunter Brown tomorrow. Now, what you're looking 396 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: for from Stroman is kind of the opposite of what 397 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: you're looking for from Rodin. You want to see movement. 398 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: You want to see the ball sinking. You're not looking 399 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 2: for upper nineties. You want to see spotting, his pitches 400 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 2: getting ground balls. 401 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: He's a sinker ball pitcher. He keeps the ball on 402 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: the ground. 403 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: Yankees has done a good job keeping the ball in 404 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: the ballpark and looking for that to continue tomorrow night. 405 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, thanks for watching again.
