1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: All right, but it to feel you oh wow, wanted

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: to talk. It was game two of a four game

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: set between the Yankees and the Oakland Athletics. Marcus Stroman

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: on the mound, looking to continue his great start to

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: the season, but would he get any help from the

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: struggling Yankees offense. My recap Your reactions comment up next?

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: This is n y why recaps? Funny comment right off

8
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: the bat here, Chase Zeroski says, give Clay the belt

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: for keeping my blood pressure at ease. Good idea. We'll see,

10
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. Make your belt your belt. Votes known in

11
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: the comments welcome back, everybody. Baseball is a funny game.

12
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: You know. You get shut out two out of three games,

13
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: and then tonight you score four runs in the bottom

14
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: of the first inning against the pitcher who comes in

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: with an ERA around one and then don't score again.

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: That's baseball, Susan problem with playing the A's is that

17
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: if you beat the A's, everybody's like, well it's the A's,

18
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: you're supposed to beat them, or you barely beat the A's,

19
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: and if you lose, it's a gut punch. No gut punch. Tonight, thankfully,

20
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Yankees take a close one. Hey, before we get to

21
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: the recap, sounds like DJ Lemayhew's rehab kicked off and

22
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: lasted exactly one inning. He had won at bat, he

23
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: went out to play the field, and then he exited

24
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: with foot paint. Now you might remember they pushed back

25
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: his rehab a few days because they weren't confident that

26
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: he was healed and fully ready. And now he's gonna

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: be shut down again, and I'm not counting on him

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: coming back anytime soon. Some guys heal slow than other guys,

29
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: especially certain parts of the body, and he's had a

30
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: problem with his feet for years, and so I'm just

31
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: not counting on him healing quicker. Anybody who is in

32
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: their thirties or later knows that you begin to heal

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: slower and slower each year. And yeah, I'm just I

34
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: hope he gets better soon, but I'm not counting on

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: DJ Lemayhew. Honestly, it might be one of those next

36
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: level phantom il situations where they hype him coming back

37
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: and then they pull him aside and say, hey, this

38
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: DJ kid is playing pretty good over there. You want

39
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: to take a couple more weeks off. That, honestly might

40
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: be what happened. You know, maybe they saw he wasn't

41
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: swinging the bat well or wasn't moving around well, and

42
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: they're like, h let's let the kid play a little bit.

43
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: See what he's got. Still know Oswald Parraza either expecting

44
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: him back at some point this summer, So pretty cool

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: moment before the game, Anthony Volpi picked up his Gold

46
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: Glove Award. If you missed it, I put it into

47
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the rotator highlight reel that goes throughout the show, so

48
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: it'll be around a few times. Decent but not amazing.

49
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: Outing from Marcus Stroman, you see, gives up a couple

50
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: of home runs, but he also had nine strikeouts. He

51
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: had the slider working, pitched well enough to win four

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: run first hitting four the Yankees, big double from Big

53
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: g Short Porch, home run from Anthony Rizzo. Better at

54
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: bats tonight from Aaron Judge, who also made an outstanding

55
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: catch in the bottom of the eighth inning, So we'll

56
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: talk about all of that. Offense was not a lot

57
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: better tonight. Honestly, they only had five hits. They were

58
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: out hit seven to five by the Athletics. Austin Wells,

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: somebody that I'm starting to get concerned with. Took the

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: collar again tonight, hitting eighty six. Other than that, we

61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of hits. I mean, Volpi was

62
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: one for three, Soto one for four, Judge one for

63
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: three with a hit by pitch, Stanton one for four

64
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: with a big double, Rizzo one for three with the

65
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: two run home run. Torres another really bad night. He's

66
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: hitting one. He's got a four to ninety nine. Ops.

67
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Something's not right. Something is not right. I know it's cold,

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: but time to get going, my friend, Time to get going. Cabrera,

69
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: oh for three tonight he's coming back down to earth,

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: hitting two seventy eight. But he's been playing pretty decent

71
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: over there at third base, so looks like the chat

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: is filling up a little bit. Let's get to the

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: blow by blow. A's jumped out to an early one

74
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: to nothing lead in the top of the first inning.

75
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: Soto dove for a ball. He was trying to make

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: the catch and and the inning, but came up a

77
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: little bit short. Not gonna bust his chops over that.

78
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: It's a competitive play. A lot of effort just didn't

79
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: quite get there. Bottom one made up for it. In

80
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: my opinion, line drive single Aaron Judge had a quality

81
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: at bat. He was spitting on some close pitches, his

82
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: swing looked much more under control. Ended up chopping the

83
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: ball down the third baseline for a double. But just

84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: more comfortable at bats all night long, even though he

85
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: fouled off a couple of hangers down the middle. Well,

86
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,119
Speaker 1: you could tell he's getting close. He hit one hard

87
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: to the warning track. He's getting there. Stanton came up

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: big in the first inning, big two run double, one

89
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven miles an hour off the bat. I'll

90
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: tell you what. When he hits him, they are scorched,

91
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: and Chase says that Big g should stand a little

92
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: bit closer to the plate. I'm not going to question

93
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the man because he took a fastball to the face

94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: one time, and I know he likes to pull off

95
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: like he opens up a lot, so he stays a

96
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: little bit closed to kind of counteract that. It's kind

97
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: of like how you know I slice when I'm golfing.

98
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: You know I got a little bit of slice, so

99
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: I opened my stands a little bit and correct for

100
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: the slice. I think he's kind of doing the same

101
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: thing with his batting stance. Anthony Rizzo big reminder in

102
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: the first inning that nobody beats the RIZ ninety two

103
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball, and he hits it over the

104
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: led triple seven slot machine sign two run shots, second

105
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: home run of the season. And you know what's funny

106
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: is Paul Blackburn came into this game with an ERA

107
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: just above one and was dealing him was dealing, and

108
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees were all over him in the first inning

109
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: four runs. A's did answer right back with a solo

110
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: home run off of Stroman Judge had another good bat

111
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: in the second inning. The announcers were talking about it,

112
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: and he took a couple of very close pitches, swing

113
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: just seemed to be less disjointed, ended up hitting a

114
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: hard flyout to right field. He also smoked one of

115
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: the warning track later in the game. So you know,

116
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: I think later this summer, when he's smashing home runs,

117
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: it might not even be that long from now, a

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, maybe a month, when he's smashing home

119
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: runs at a regular basis, I don't think anybody's going

120
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: to be thinking about this slow start. And he's starting

121
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: to show the signs, the indicators. Now that he's coming

122
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: out it, everybody starts to show indicators when they're coming

123
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: out of a slump. So for Glaber Torres, when he

124
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: starts hitting line drives over the second baseman's head and

125
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: hits a couple of line drives down the right field line,

126
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: and he does that about three or four times in

127
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: the span of a couple of games, then you know

128
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: he's coming out of it. Then you know the home

129
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: runs are coming because he'll start driving the ball the

130
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: other way, you know, out of the ballpark, and then

131
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and come inside on him, and he's

132
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: gonna start pulling it and hopefully that'll get him going.

133
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: But he is off to a brutal, brutal start. So

134
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Stroman he got porched again in the fourth, second solo

135
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: home run there he allowed in the night. On the

136
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: night he also picked up his sixth and seventh strikeouts

137
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: editing though, so it was a bit of an up

138
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: and down night for him. Good stuff, but few pitches

139
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: out over the plate that got hammered. Pitch count was

140
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: relatively elevated, he only went five and a third. We're

141
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: still struggling to get any decent length out of anybody.

142
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: But Nesta, really Nestar has had a couple of long starts,

143
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: and then Rodin had a long start yesterday but it

144
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: was wasted. But you know, five starts, so basically you know,

145
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: one sixth of the way through the season. If you

146
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: figure he makes thirty starts, which the Yankees are definitely

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: hoping that he does. He's got a two point nine

148
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: to three e er. He's got twenty eight strikeouts in

149
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven and two thirds innings, so more than a

150
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: strikeout per inning, basically a strikeout a inning. He's walked

151
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: ten batters. He's given up four home runs, two of

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: them were tonight final line five and a third innings,

153
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: he allowed seven hits, three runs, all of them, earned

154
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: one walk, and nine strikeouts. And you just take a

155
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: look at what he's done this year. He gets a

156
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: lot of ground balls, he gets double plays. You know,

157
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: he moves the ball in and out with movement. And

158
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I think we have to be pretty much satisfied with

159
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: what he's given us so far through five starts. I

160
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: think it's basically all we could have hoped for from

161
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman to this point, Doctor Hitskin says, respect to DJ,

162
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: but the battery is dead. Wompom Caleb Ferguson actually did

163
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a very nice job out of bullpen today. He's been

164
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: asked lately. Every time he comes in the game, my

165
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: ulcer starts to act up. Dennis Santana got through the

166
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: eighth with a little bit of a help from Aaron

167
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: Judge who ran down a ball in center field, made

168
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: a very nice play. So you're still master here the way, Yes, yes,

169
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: I am. Yankees threatened in the eighth. Volpie got hit

170
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: by a pitch, Judge got hit by a pitch, but

171
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: they did not score, unfortunately, a wasted opportunity. Clay Holmes

172
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: came in for the ninth, worked an easy inning. He's

173
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: got nine saves and a zero e ra A so far,

174
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: Yankees even the series. Take it away, mister John Sterling.

175
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: Jonathan h says, let's go Rangers. It is a good

176
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: time to be a New York fan, and the Yankees

177
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: are near the top of the division. They're playing well.

178
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: The Mets are actually surprisingly good this year. The Rangers

179
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: obviously in the playoffs. Knicks with the miracle win last night.

180
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: I listened to Mike Francis's podcast about it, and I mean,

181
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm not even a huge basketball fan, but I'm rooting

182
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: hard for the Knicks, and I love listening to Mike Francessa,

183
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: you know, talk New York Sports, So he's always gonna

184
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: be one of my favorites. I know a lot of

185
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: you guys don't like him, but anyway, Belt candidates tonight,

186
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: so we had the two run home run from Rizzo.

187
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: We had a solid outing from Stroman but not quite

188
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: a quality start, two run double from Stanton to get

189
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: it started. Judge had a double, had much better at beats,

190
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: but we don't give belts out for solid at bats.

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: We give him things. Anthony Rizzo. For those of you listening,

192
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: by the way, if you're listening last night, we uploaded

193
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: the wrong podcast the day before file, so we uploaded

194
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: that if you missed it, we uploaded it this morning.

195
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: Just a misfire, a miss click and uh yeah, we

196
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: should be good to go right now. But a good

197
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: game for Rizzo, big two run shot. And we had

198
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: another comment here about how wells worked to walk, so

199
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: maybe baby steps, and then some comments about his defense.

200
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: His framing has improved. His framing is pretty good. I mean,

201
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees have some good defensive catchers. I'm not worried

202
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: at all about the defensive side. From the Yankees. But Wells,

203
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if he plays enough to

204
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: really get out of that slump. If I were the

205
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: Yankees were Aaron Boone, I almost said jojo Wow. If

206
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: I were Aaron Boone, I would probably start Wells a

207
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: couple of days in a row to try and get

208
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: him going. But the problem with that is that Jose

209
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: Travinho's been swinging a hot bat, hit a home run

210
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, He's had that line drive to give the

211
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: Yankees the lead in Toronto. I mean, he's he had

212
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: a hit yesterday. He's been swinging the bat pretty well,

213
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: and he's a Platinum Glove winning catcher. So the Yankees

214
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: actually have a decent problem with having two good defensive catchers.

215
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: You'd like want of them to get going. You'd like

216
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Wells to be dangerous, and I think Wells will be dangerous.

217
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: And I don't think that the Yankees have anybody else

218
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: they can go to now that Ben Rohurtvett is playing

219
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: with the Rays, so I just think he's gonna get

220
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: a chance to keep running out there, probably not on

221
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: his regular basis as he would like, but he'll get

222
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: it going. Let's watch through the highlights again now because

223
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: we got about seven hundred people in the chat, might

224
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: have missed it. So Stroman, you see getting the movement

225
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: pitching to the edges of the zone. That's a nice

226
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: pitch there, slider to get the strikeout. And then you

227
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: see the movement going away from the lefty, scares the

228
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 1: pigeon off, gets the ground out. This was the dive

229
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: from Sodo, trying to make an aggressive play. Not gonna

230
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: blame him there. It did cost the Yankees a run,

231
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: but they survived it. You see again there Stroman pitching

232
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,599
Speaker 1: ninety miles an hour right on the black base h

233
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: from Juan Soto. He's just got such a beautiful swing.

234
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that swing ball tail went

235
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: away and he just nice and easy. So judge actually

236
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: didn't rip this ball. It was a double, but he

237
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: chopped it. This one was ripped by John Carlow one

238
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven off the bat hits the warning track.

239
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: You know, some ballparks that's probably gone, you know, might

240
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: have gone through the wall at Fenway. But smoked and

241
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: moving pretty well out of the box. I gotta say

242
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't run very fast, but he's moving better. He

243
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: doesn't look quite as much like Frankenstein. Here's the home

244
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: run from Rizzo about four rows deep, and we'll take

245
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: a look at the swing, gets the hands in. It's

246
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: an up and end pitch and he pulls the hands

247
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: in and just barrels it up. Nice piece of hitting.

248
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: I think he knew it right away. Crowd seemed a

249
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: little iffy, you know. Three eighty five wasn't a nuke

250
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: ninety eight point four off the bat, but that will

251
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: get it done at Yankee Stadium. This is the shot

252
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: to write center field home run from Langeliers. Say Langeliers,

253
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: that was a freaking nuke. And then this is the

254
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: golfed home run from Butler into the first row slider

255
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: to get gel Off and then Aaron Judge making the

256
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: great running play. Nice job, Aaron Judge. Yankees take this one.

257
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: Uh Gyrus mclaur says, first time I've seen Ferguson look

258
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: like a major league pitcher. I'm gonna be over here

259
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: like winning Paris. Grubbs says, who leaves the rotation when

260
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: Cole comes back? Or do they go with a six man?

261
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Kind of doubt it. I doubt the six man thing

262
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: because it would thin out the bullpen a little bit.

263
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I've been thinking more about this because I'm surprised that

264
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: all of our starters have been healthy thus far. I

265
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna come down to two guys, Clark Schmidt

266
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: or Louis Heel. Now, Luis Heel is still coming back

267
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: from Tommy John surgery, but he has shown flashes of

268
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: being like an ACE level pitch Nolan Ryan type stuff

269
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: that includes the walks, but he's just so hard to

270
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: make decent contact off of. He doesn't give up home runs.

271
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't given up a home run yet this year.

272
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: He's got twenty nine strikeouts in I believe nineteen and

273
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: two thirds innings. But then you got Clark Schmidt, who's

274
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: pitching pretty well but doesn't seem to get passed about

275
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: five and a third five and two thirds before he

276
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: runs out of gas. So ideally one of those guys

277
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: would go to the pen and be a multi inning guy. Now,

278
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: I think fastball wise, Louis Heel going to the pen. Yeah,

279
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: strikeout machine, but he also walks too many guys and

280
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want that out of the pen. Clark

281
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Schmidt has pitched in the pen for the Yankees before,

282
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: and he generally gives you at least one or two

283
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: trips through the order where he's pretty solid. I really

284
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: think he could fill that Mike King role much better

285
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: than they were, you know, than Louisa Goa can because

286
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: he's hurt. Louisa ga was, you know, being counted on

287
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: to be that guy, but he just can't stay healthy

288
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: and he's out with the elbow injury. His Yankees' career

289
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: might be done, so the Yankees need to backfill that role.

290
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: So to me, it comes down to Clark Schmidt or

291
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: Louis Heel and I think I would vote for Clark Schmidt.

292
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: I think I want to see what Louis Heal can

293
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: do if you let him mature as a pitcher. And look,

294
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna have Garrett Cole working with him. As you know,

295
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: Cole was a guy who came up with the same

296
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: type of stuff, one hundred mile an hour fastball, but

297
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: he was always able to command it. He's gonna be

298
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: able to communicate, hopefully to Louise Heal how to make

299
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: the adjustments to help him command the ball a little

300
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: bit better. And one thing we saw from Louishal last

301
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: time was that he would dial it up when he

302
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: needed to. But he would also pitch at like ninety

303
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: five ninety six and just dot strikes and he only

304
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: had one walk through the first five and a third innings.

305
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 1: I think with the right adjustments, Louis Hell could be that.

306
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: You know, second ace level pitcher Louis Penafield with the

307
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: super chat says, Wells needs more consecutive at bats. Is

308
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: as simple as that. Yeah, I think he started for

309
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: two or three games and he'll start hitting. But you know,

310
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: does that cool off Travino's it's a tough call. It's

311
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: a tough tough call. Maurizio says, flashback to when Schmid

312
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: gave up that walk off hit to the Guardians a

313
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. So interesting thing about that it

314
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: was on a four seam fastball. He doesn't even throw

315
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: a four seam fastball anymore. He throws the cutter pretty

316
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 1: much exclusively as his fastball. Gregory Wayne wants to go

317
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: with the six man rotation. I think that would have

318
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: worked better if you had Yamamoto in the rotation, Like

319
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: if you have a Japanese pitcher who's used to going

320
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: once a week, I think that works out well. If

321
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 1: you still had Tanaka. That works out well. I miss

322
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: having a Japanese pitcher. They've always got the splitter. They're

323
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: always fun to watch. I really wished we had gotten Yamamoto,

324
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: but he's not off to the greatest start with the Dodgers,

325
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: so maybe the Yankees dodged a bullet right there. The

326
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Mets beat him pretty good the other day. David Paiez

327
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: says Cole speeding up his recovery says he feels good.

328
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: Hope that goes well. I agree, hopefully it comes comes

329
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. We need him and the safe situation.

330
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Frequent calling guests says, I want Cole to take his time.

331
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: So of every opinion there's there's multiple, multiple viewpoints always.

332
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up A couple of questions, a couple

333
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: of comment here. Tommy Higgs says, do you think for

334
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Duco should sign the lead slider to the leadoff spot?

335
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: Not yet, I think Vope, he's coming around. I think

336
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: we've gotta let the weather heat up. Let's look at

337
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: everything Memorial Day. You know, that's the great thing about

338
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: doing this show here is I'm here pretty much every day.

339
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Not pretty much, I'm here every day in some capacity.

340
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: Unless the Yankees are rained out or or whatnot. And

341
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: so you know, we we have a chance to watch

342
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: the season unfold in a way where we notice trend lines,

343
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: we notice the ups and downs, and you know, we

344
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: have of all these kind of mile markers where we

345
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: can take a look and evaluate the team. You know,

346
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: it's it's fun to look at the first three weeks,

347
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: but that's really still too small a sample size. I

348
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: want to look at the team after about six weeks.

349
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: Memorial Day, you know, third weekend. I don't know what

350
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: day it is this year. He usually around my birthday,

351
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: which is May twenty fifth. If you want to send

352
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: me anything preferably, you know, Ferrari Testerroso would be nice.

353
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: But you know, around Memorial Day you get a good

354
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: idea of you know, what you have as a team. Weather,

355
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: it's started to heat up, balls flying out of the ballpark.

356
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: I'd say if Labor Day comes around and Labor Torres

357
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: isn't hitting, then you start looking at, you know, options

358
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: at second base. I'd say Labor Day comes around and

359
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: you know, Clark Schmidt still can't get past the sixth inning.

360
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: You know, maybe when Cole comes back, he slides into

361
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: the bullpen. You know it's gonna be interesting. I don't

362
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: think we're gonna make any major changes to the lineup

363
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: right now. It's gonna be tough to get Volpi out

364
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: of that leadoff spot because when he's on, he's very dangerous,

365
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: very dangerous. Doctor Hitskins is a fan of the voicemail show.

366
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely Hey, so a reminder call in seven one, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten,

367
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: sixty eight. Doing voicemails the mornings after each game this year,

368
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: it's part of my morning routine. Now. I love getting

369
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: up and listening to you guys. I drink my coffee

370
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: while I'm listening to the voicemails if I can get

371
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: to them all. This morning we had sixty five voicemails.

372
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: I could only listen to about twenty of them, and

373
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I gotta take the best,

374
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: you know, best seven or eight uh at that point,

375
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: but keep calling in because there are some good takes.

376
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: There's some bad ones too. I'm not gonna lie. There's

377
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: some bad ones. We had a trade judge. Bad one today,

378
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Yankees win

379
00:21:55,119 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: this one. I'll see you next time. The boat return down.

380
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Got back the bab b b b b bad
