1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: All right, March second, and the Yankees were taking on 2 00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:08,240 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Braze in a road spring training matchup. We've 3 00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: got Marcus Stroman on the mouth with a new lease 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: on life. We've got some other regulars in the lineup, 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions, plus we'll talk about the lineup post. 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: John Carlos Stanton coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: Wanted to cook, that's all. 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: And talk we shall. I was not expecting to do 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: a podcast today, but I saw that the game was 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: on MLB Network and Marcus Stroman was pitching, so I figured, 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: let's check it out. Let's see how he looks in 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. I hadn't seen him yet. I almost 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: said twenty twenty four. That's like the equivalent of, you know, 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: signing your checks with the wrong year. I'm still saying 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: the wrong year on the podcast. But unfortunately the Yankees 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: got demolished today. Braids Offense was looking Yankees offense still 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: in winter hibernation mode. Marcus Stroman had nothing. We'll talk 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: about that. It wasn't all negative, though it was mostly negative, 19 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: but it wasn't all negative. There were a couple of 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: bright spots Oswald. Perrazza continues to just look tremendous on defense. 21 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: Alan Winen's twenty nine year old journeyman had a fifteen 22 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,559 Speaker 1: ERA last year, through the ball very well today, relieved 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: three scoreless innings, and the Martian made a nice play 24 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: in left field. However, this was not a two hours 25 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: and forty minutes well spent. But let's talk about the game. 26 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: Let's take you through the key takeaways, because I mean, 27 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: there's some other stuff to get to, but we do 28 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: have to get through the game highlights here. Yankees fell 29 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: behind early. It was a sign of things to come. 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Couple of home runs from the Braves in the first 31 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: inning corner infielders Austin Reiley and Matt Olsen. I still 32 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: can matt Olsen would have been the perfect Yankee if 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: they could have picked him up. And those two home 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: runs were just bombs. You know. The wind might have 35 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: aided the matt Olsen home run, but the Austin Riley 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: home run would have gone out of Yellowstone. Paraza picked 37 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: up a base hit, should have had an RBI to 38 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: go with it, but the runner got thrown out at 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: third before the run could score. More run in the 40 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: bases like drunks. As John Sterling said last year. Good 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: to see Parazza picking up the knock. I want to 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: see some more line drives out of him this spring 43 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: and elevating the ball a little bit. He's still kind 44 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: of rolling over some ground balls. He did look great 45 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: on defense though, made a nice play on a pop up, 46 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: actually two pop ups. The wind was kind of playing 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: havoc today and he made a couple of nice nice plays. 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: He also turned a round the horn double play and 49 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: nice play by Jason Domingez on an opposite field shot 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: by Jared Kilnick in the bottom of the second not 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: an easy play at all. Kelvinick is a left handed 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: hitter and he sliced it the other way, so it 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: was over to me is his head, so not only 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: did he have to run it down, but he made 55 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: the catch. He dealt with a tough sun field today 56 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: and he got rid of it quickly to hold the 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: runner at second who could have tagged and gone a third. 58 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: So nice play. Adjusting to earth a little bit. He 59 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: did go hitless, but he smoked the ball a couple 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: of times. He had some really patient at bats. I 61 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: think that's going to be something that really plays well 62 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: for him, just how selective he is at the plate 63 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: ever since. Pereira probably will not make the team this year, 64 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: but he had a good day, a couple of hits, 65 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: two for three runs scored. He's putting himself into position 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: to be called up if the Yankees have an injury. 67 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: Last year he was probably gonna be in that position, 68 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: but he had an injury himself. This year, he appears healthy. 69 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: Oswaldo Cabrera drew a couple of walks. His stance to me, 70 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: continues to look more and more like Juan Soto's. He 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: had that kind of mini Won Soto shuffle right where 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: the pitch is coming in and he kind of glides 73 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: towards the pitcher. And he's had that since before the 74 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 1: Yankees even had won Soto. But it seems like being 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: on Soto's team last year, he's kind of mimicking his 76 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: stance a little bit. He's got a little bit more 77 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: bat waggle. But yeah, no hits today for Cabrera, but 78 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: a couple of walks. He played shortstop and first base. 79 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: As I mentioned, winings through the ball well three scoreless innings. 80 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: Roderick Arius booted an easy ground ball in the seventh, 81 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: Braves opened up a big lead, such a big lead 82 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: that the MLB network broadcast switched to a different game 83 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: and the Yankees drop one a nail bier, eleven to one. 84 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: All right, we got the comment of the day here. 85 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Stro Johnny says, Stroman and Dominguez for Tarik Scooble. That's 86 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: gotta be, if not the worst trade proposal I've seen, 87 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: one of the worst. Why in the world would the 88 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: Tigers make that deal? Why would they trade the reigning 89 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: Cy Young Award winner for an over the hill righty 90 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: on a stupid contract and a guy who's done nothing 91 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: in the major leagues? That is That's bad. That's a bad, 92 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: bad call. Let's talk a little bit about Stroman. He 93 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: had a tough day today. I want to preface this 94 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: by saying it is just spring training. Marcus Stroman is 95 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: a veteran who's just getting his work in, and it's 96 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: not uncommon for veteran guys to get torched in spring training. 97 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: And let's just say he was not in regular season 98 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: form and leave it at that. A lot of hard 99 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: hit balls in the first inning. Jerkson profar ripped one 100 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: to right field that got caught Austin Reilly and Matt 101 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: Olson with the back to back home runs bumps better 102 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: second inning, finish it off by pulling the string on 103 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: a big twelve to six curveball pitch. He doesn't throw 104 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: a lot, but it was a good one for him. 105 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: And you know, if they're sitting on your I guess 106 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to say fastball because he didn't really 107 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: throw fastball anymore. It's more like a sinker. But if 108 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: they're sitting on it, you know, break out the curveball 109 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: once in a while. Braves tacked on them the third 110 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: inning Riley with an absolute laser beam into the left 111 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: field gap. Stroman was done after two and two thirds innings, 112 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: four hits allowed, four earned runs allowed, and his ERA 113 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: so far this spring is not good. It is nine 114 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: point eight two. Again, stats in spring training don't necessarily 115 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,359 Speaker 1: reflect on what's gonna happen in the regular season. I 116 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: remember Kyle hag gotshioko one spring, led the league and 117 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: home runs led the Greate Fruit League and home runs 118 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: and then didn't hit one for like two months, So 119 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: you never know. But Stroman roughed up today tough day 120 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: at the office. It stinks talk a little bit about 121 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: third base. Appears to be down to two candidates for 122 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: the opening day job. DJ Lemayhew has to be considered 123 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: out of it at this point because he's got a 124 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: calf injury again. Yesterday we talked about it briefly because 125 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: it came out while we were on the show. He 126 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: tweaked a calf muscle. He said that that's nothing major, 127 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: but it's probably gonna be a bit before he can play. 128 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 1: And you know, for a guy in his mid thirties, 129 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: a bit can mean a month really, and that's before 130 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: he gets back to baseball activities. I wouldn't expect to 131 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: see him on opening day, considering we're less than four 132 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: weeks from opening day. So even if it takes him 133 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks to get back to baseball activities, 134 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: he's not gonna have time to get back and get 135 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: ready to take over the third base job or to 136 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: win the third base job, because quite frankly, he's not 137 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: penciled in to be the guy. So that pretty much 138 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: narrows it down right now to Oswald Parraza or Oswaldo Cabrera. 139 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: Parazza is out of option, so he's gonna be on 140 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: the roster barring a trait fact that Oswaldo Cabrera can 141 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: play so many positions and plays them effectively. You can 142 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: play first base, shortstop, second base, third base, you can 143 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: play left field, you can play right field, and he 144 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: said he wants to catch. That makes him an extremely 145 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: valuable utility player. So right now, as I said a 146 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: month ago, it's unchanged. I think Piazza is your opening 147 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: day third baseman again, barring a trade. He is the favorite. 148 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: He's gonna get his chance. Let's hope he runs with it. 149 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the game awards. If you 150 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: want to call it an award. It feels kind of 151 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: wrong to give a Bumba the day during spring training 152 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: to a guy who's just getting his work in. But 153 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: I gotta be that guy Bumba the day Marcus Stroman, 154 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: who absolutely stunk today. Don't need to read too much 155 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: into it, as I said, but hey, we're doing this 156 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: for a reason. You know, you guys wanted an award 157 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: for who played the worst, and so we're gonna add 158 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: him to the list here. Marcus Stroman first bumb of 159 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: the Day, award of the year, and probably not his last. 160 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: If I were to be a betting man, but Marcus 161 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: Stroman on this day was a bumb Just a disclaimer, 162 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: and we're gonna give this disclaimer every time. Just because 163 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: you're the bum of the day does not mean we 164 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: do not like you. It does not make you a 165 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: bad guy. But on this particular day, it did make 166 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: you a bum. And tough day for Marcus Struman. All right, 167 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: let's get to the revised opening day lineup as I 168 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: view it. Now that we know that John Carlos Stanton 169 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: is gonna be out to begin the season, he's gonna 170 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: be on the injury list, we can start to reimagine 171 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: what that lineup is gonna look like. So far this spring, 172 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: I've seen nothing to indicate that the Yankees are planning 173 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: to do anything with Volpi in the leadoff spot. He 174 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: hasn't hit much at leadoff. He's been hitting down in 175 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: the order. His approach does not seem to be of 176 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: the contact variety. He seems to be, you know, trying 177 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to lift and separate. So you know, I just I 178 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: don't see him in the leadoff spot. With the leadoff guy. 179 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: You want somebody who's patient, you want somebody who's gonna 180 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: draw walks ahead of Aaron Judge and look, I think 181 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: Jason Dominguez is that guy. Well's hit leadoff today. He 182 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: did begin the game with a very good at bat, 183 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: a line drive single. Still, not a lot of teams 184 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: hit their catcher in the leadoff spot, and I don't 185 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: think the Yankees are planning to do it. Also, you 186 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 1: know that means that basically, if he's gonna be your 187 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: starting catcher, right and you got Ben Rice here as 188 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: your DH filling in for John Carlow, there's still a 189 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: competition to be the backup catcher, So it'd be interesting. 190 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: That's just another you know, competition this spring that's gonna 191 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: play itself out. Boone confirmed on False Territory the other 192 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: day that he's gonna go with Judge in the number 193 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: two spot, and that he's gonna go with Cody Bellinger 194 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: that would be his preference in the number three spot. 195 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: And so far this spring, Cody Bellinger has looked great. 196 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: So I'm good with that. I'm good with the top 197 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: three Dominguez, Judge Bellinger. My cleanup eitter at the moment 198 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: is probably Paul Goldschmidt. Just missed a home run today, 199 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Win kind of knocked it down. It was swirling and 200 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I thought he got it. It was a good swing. He 201 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: also scorched the line drive single left field. His swing 202 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: has looked good this year. It's looked compact, and the 203 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: fact that he plays pretty much every day should give 204 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: you some consistency out of the cleanup spot, something that 205 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: the Yankees death desperately need, you know. Even if he's 206 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: not MVP caliber, I think that he is going to 207 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: be a steady force. I could see him driving in 208 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: a lot of runs with Bellinger and Judge hitting ahead 209 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: of him. Continuing with my righty lefty alternation, alternate kind 210 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: of deal here, I got Austin Wells hitting fifth at catcher, 211 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi hitting sixth. Like I said, he seems to 212 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 1: be going for more power. He's bulked up, and I 213 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: can see him hitting six and driving in some runs 214 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: this year, maybe getting back over that twenty home run 215 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: mark that he had his rookie year. But I also 216 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: want to see him hit for a higher average. Two 217 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: forty isn't gonna cut it. I want to see two 218 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: sixty five, eighteen to twenty home runs, thirty stolen bases, 219 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: and good defense. To me, that's a very solid year 220 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: for Anthony Volpe. I got Jazz Chisholm hitting seventh at 221 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: second base, and then Oswald, Perrazza and Ben Rice rounding 222 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: things out. I know it's not the strongest bottom of 223 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: the order, but Jazz Chishom at least in the seven hole, 224 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: could give you thirty forty. I mean, how many seven 225 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: hole hitters in the league can do that? And then Parraza, 226 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know how much he's gonna hit, 227 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: but he's at least gonna play defense. You don't need 228 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: everybody to be a star offensively. If he can hold 229 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: his own, you know, maybe hit some more line drives, 230 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: maybe run into a couple of home runs, he could 231 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: be good. You know, if he hits two fifty with 232 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty home runs and plays outstanding defense. I 233 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: think he signed up for that as a rookie year. 234 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: And then Ben Rice, you know, holding that spot for 235 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: John Carlo until he's back. I could see him matching 236 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: this year. He looks stronger, he looks ready to rock 237 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: and roll. All right. So that's where we're at with 238 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: the lineup right now. Sam g says we need another 239 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: veteran power bat. I agree, but there's not a lot 240 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: out there. I mean, they didn't sign Bragman. They're not 241 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: really interested in Arnato, and he's not even really a 242 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,359 Speaker 1: power bat anymore. And he's a guy who's diminished offensively 243 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: in recent years. I think three years in a row 244 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: his OPS has gone down. So I just don't know 245 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: that there's somebody out there. Ricardo Cologne says, Escara backup 246 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: catcher great in the Dominican Winner League. A lot of 247 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: guys do great in the Dominican Winner League and then 248 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: don't do well in the Major League, so it's a 249 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: completely different animal. I want to go with whoever is 250 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: the best defensive option and just let Austin Wells run 251 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: with that job and take the majority of the reps. 252 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: If Austin Wells plays one hundred and thirty five hundred 253 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: and forty games, I'm happy. I'm a happy camper. Sam 254 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: g says, we are relying on a lot of guys 255 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: under twenty five. Need another veteran power back. We do 256 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: have a call about that, about how the Yankees are 257 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: going to more homegrown players this year, and it's something 258 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: that's honestly a little bit refreshing. I think it's going 259 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: to be a fun team. It's going to be a 260 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: different team, different style team than last year, but hopefully 261 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: they have better results than they did today. Quick word 262 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: from the guys that foul Territory about nutrifol, and then 263 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: I'll be back to take a few voicemails and some 264 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: more comments back in sixty seconds. 265 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: Hair thinning is very common, very frustrating problem that many 266 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 3: men deal with.

But we'll be excited to see Max Freed 288 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: pitch tomorrow. Yes, Yankees play a night game tomorrow night. Uh, 289 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: and Max Freed will be on the mound. I will 290 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: be doing a postgame show.

And it's good to see you here. 292 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: Val still in the comment Hall of Fame, can't all right? Uh, 293 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: David says I'd like to see George Lombard Junior a 294 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: bit more. I would too. I mean, the kid looks 295 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: like he can really play the swinging, looks short, compact, 296 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: he's athletic, he can run, he looks like he's a 297 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: good defender. He's got to obviously have some seasoning in 298 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: the minor leagues, and we do have a call about 299 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: this that I want to get to, and then I 300 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: have a thought on Lombard. 301 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, Derek, I still think we're probably one to two 302 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 5: years away from Roger Carius and George Lumbard Junior for 303 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 5: having maybe an everyday shot. But what do you think 304 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 5: would have to happen for them to have a chip 305 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 5: to play this year? 306 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: Well, from what I've seen from areas, he's not ready. 307 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: I mean defensively, offensively, just doesn't look ready. I mean, 308 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: Lombard's probably not ready either, but he clearly stands out 309 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: right when you watch him, he clearly stands out as 310 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: a prospect. You don't even have to really know baseball 311 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: that well to see that. Athletically, I mean, he plays 312 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: like a veteran for a guy who's so young this year, 313 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: I just don't see it happening. He would have to 314 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: have an unbelievable season in the minor leagues to get 315 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: up by the end of the year. He does turn 316 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: twenty in June. Now, we saw Jackson Curio make the 317 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: major leagues at twenty, We saw Jason Domingez make the 318 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 1: league or make the major leagues at twenty. We saw 319 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Volpe make the major leagues at twenty one, so 320 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: he can advance quickly. I think this is a year 321 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: of minor league development. I think they're gonna keep a 322 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: close eye on him. I think he's gonna play a 323 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: little bit more third base than he's been playing, because 324 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: right now shortstop is blocked with Anthony Volpi. But look, 325 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: if he hits three point fifty through the first two 326 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: or three months of the season and hits for power 327 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: and gets promoted to like double A, you know, I 328 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: could see him advancing quickly. The Yankees like a guy 329 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: to dominate every level before they call him up. I 330 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: don't see him making the major leagues this year under 331 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: any circumstances, but next year is not out of the question. 332 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: I can see him making it at twenty if he 333 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: ends up playing like we all think he will. 334 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 6: What's up there? This is Jake from Connecticut. It's not 335 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 6: a fault. The other day about the Yankees prospects and 336 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 6: their ability to you know, create talent, and there's a 337 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 6: lot of target the Yankees have a bad you know 338 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 6: prospect pool that they don't know how to bring them up. 339 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 6: And I think there's arguments there, but uh, this year. 340 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 6: We have six guys in the starting lineup that are homegrown. 341 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 6: All right, so just a thought. You know that the 342 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 6: Yankees do develop good MLB talent fairly consistently. 343 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: Anyway, go Yanks, appreciate the call. 344 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: You're not wrong, You're absolutely not wrong. The Yankees catch 345 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: a lot of crap about their minor league system. But 346 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: they're starting catcher homegrown. They're starting shortstop homegrown. They're starting 347 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: third baseman this year likely to be homegrown. Their left 348 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: fielder international prospect homegrown, their right fielder two time MVP homegrown. Now, 349 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: they're not great at developing s larading pitching. They don't 350 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of you know, homegrown starting pitching in 351 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: the rotation. Garrett Cole obviously a free agent, Max free 352 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: to free agent, Carlos Rodon a free agent, Marcus Stroman 353 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: a free agent, Clark Schmidt developed internally, and Louis Hill 354 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: developed after a trade, but he came up, you know, 355 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: as part of the deal from the Twins and then 356 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: worked his way to the major leagues with the Yankees. 357 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: But you're not wrong. Their offense a lot of young guys, 358 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: a lot of homegrown talent, and it's good to see. 359 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 7: Team. But the situation, so the DJ, you know you injury, 360 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 7: I wonder if you know. I don't think they're gonna 361 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 7: make this play on the officer because there's a lot 362 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 7: of ability no matter what. But I wanted the opinion 363 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 7: of I think it's time to maybe give him the 364 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 7: Jacobiel's been of just he stuck it up. He stays 365 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 7: on the sixty day and he called the day or 366 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 7: maybe they could have in the off season to try 367 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 7: to protect the kid THET five. But I want to 368 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 7: just because the way it looks, I don't think he's 369 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 7: playing another game in the pinch ups. 370 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: I think he'll play again with the Pinstripes, but he's 371 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: not far off. They almost defad him last year according 372 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: to reports, and Aaron Judge stepped in to save it. 373 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: But I don't have a lot of confidence that DJ 374 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: Lemayew can help us going forward.
