1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome you to. 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: Save Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Friday edition of 3 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,279 Speaker 2: Pinstripe Territory Voicemails. Yankees open up a series with the 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 2: Cardinals tonight. The Cardinals have had a disappointing season. By 5 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: their standards, they are sixty seven and sixty seven, so 6 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: playing five hundred ball, they're at risk of having a 7 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: second consecutive under five hundred season, which would drive their 8 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: fan base crazy. They've got a fan base like us. 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,160 Speaker 2: They love their team, and look, the Yankees have got 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 2: to do a better job of hitting with runners in 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 2: scoring position. You cannot have a series like you had 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: with the Nationals where you go one for twenty eight 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. Sometimes you got to shorten 14 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: up your swing. I know that home runs are sexy, 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: and home runs are fun, and home runs are how 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: everybody gets paid these days, but look, you can't rely 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: on home runs to win your ball games. You've got 18 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: to be able to get that traffic that Aaron Boone 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 2: likes to talk about being on the bases in once 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: in a while with a base hit. You know, I 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: think about some of the bigger hits in Yankees' history, 22 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: and they're not home runs like Jorye Pisada's double off 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 2: of Pedro in the ALCS in three. He got jammed, right, 24 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: He was just trying to put the ball in play. 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 2: You know. I think about Jose Viskayano in the two 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: thousand World Series. There's so many big moments that are 27 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: not home runs. But the home runs are what get 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: the most attention, and so everybody gets into this home 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: run mindset. But really it's the ability to make contact, 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: to move runners, and to bring those runners in once 31 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: they get on base. The Yankees have so many base 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: runners that just being able to hit a little bit 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: better will improve their record, will, you know, allow them 34 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: to score more. You cannot keep banging into double plays. 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: And that brings me to my next topic, which is 36 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: DJ lam my goodness. The guy looks finished. He looks old, 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, everybody 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: ages right at the end of their careers. Jeter A Rod, 39 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: A lot of these guys just looked old. To share ah, 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: you know, he looked old. LeMay who's hitting that point 41 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: now where the swing has slowed down. If you look 42 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: at his metrics, the swing is just slow. The bat speed, 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: and he's had so many foot issues that the power 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: is gone. He's a nice guy, I get it. The 45 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: team loves him, fans love him, We love his contributions. 46 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: He wanted a four year contract. This would have been 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: year four. It would have been nice and easy to 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: let him go after the season. Order DFA him now. 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: But you've got two years and thirty million remaining to 50 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: this guy. And that's a big, big problem if you're 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: the Yankees. Can't just keep giving away, you know, thirty 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: million here, forty million there for these dead contracts. That's 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: on Brian Cashman. But as of right now, you have 54 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 2: better options. You got Waldo Cabrera who has been swinging 55 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: the bat better, and he's got a b swing. He's 56 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: not trying to hit a home run every time you 57 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: see him taking the ball the other way. And look, 58 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: we go back to talking about hitting with runners in 59 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: scoring position. The Yankees were counting on DJ being one 60 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: of those guys who makes contact and brings in runners, 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: but he's not doing it. And every time that he 62 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: comes up with runners on base, it seems like he 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: bangs into a double play. So it's getting more and 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: more difficult to watch and I think something needs to 65 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: be done, and I think DJ needs to hit the bench, 66 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: and I think we need to see more Cabrera. You know, 67 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: maybe a DFAM and you call up Oswald Perrazza. I 68 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: don't know, but you can't keep running DJ out there. 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: We are going to have the rosters expanding in just 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 2: a couple of days Sunday, the rosters go from twenty 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: six to twenty eight. Now. Jason Dominguez is almost assuredly 72 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: gonna be the offensive addition, the Yankees are also going 73 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: to add another pitcher. Who could it be? Would it 74 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: be Ian Hamilton? Could they add Scott f Rosso has 75 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: been the ball a little bit better, We'll see. But 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: having one extra arm in the bullpen over the final 77 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: month of the season will take a little bit of 78 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: pressure off of a pitching staff that's been very overworked. 79 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that the Yankees can show up in 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: this series and play complete baseball. Right If they score 81 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: all of their runs on home runs from Judge and Soto, yes, 82 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: it will be exciting and the fans will love it, 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 2: but that's not the way you're going to win in 84 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I want to see more guys contributing I'm 85 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 2: hoping that Austin Wells stays hot. He's been one of 86 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 2: these guys that has hit better on the road than 87 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium. I want him to get hot at 88 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium and drive the ball, and I want Cabrera 89 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 2: in the lineup. You know, I don't want to see 90 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 2: dj running out there. I'm anxious to see if when 91 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: Dominguez gets called up, if they play him or if 92 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: they keep running Alex Verdugo back out there. Now, Verdugo's 93 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: had a very nice season defensively, but offensively, I think 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: he's had more than enough time to get hot again. 95 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 2: And you know, the switch of batting glove seems to 96 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: have maybe sparked his offense a little bit. But I 97 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 2: still would have more confidence in a young, fresh Jason 98 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: Domingez than I would in Alex Verdugo going down the stretch. 99 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: So big series kicking off tonight. We have about thirty 100 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 2: games left, maybe twenty nine games left. I'm not looking 101 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 2: to the schedule right now, but Yanks got to do some work. 102 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: They gotta do some work. All right, Let's get to 103 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: your voicemails and then I'll be back after the game 104 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 2: with the postcamp show. 105 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 3: I know, y'all study, I cannot believe at the ball, 106 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 3: but do it. So Waldo needs more playing cards. He's 107 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: didding over to forty morean DJ, and that's amazing, But 108 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: tong is doom. Key's kimming now cold. He cannot become 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: hot if he's cold and playing one not back per 110 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 3: game in two or three of that's for games. If 111 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: you're winning my five, let the man play. Thanks, Jared, 112 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: amazing show. 113 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: I've already covered this, but I agree with you one 114 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: hundred percent that Oswaldo needs more playing time. You go 115 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: back to his last fifty games. He's hit in two 116 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: fifty with four home runs and fifteen RBIs twenty two 117 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 2: runs scored, and look, I know those numbers aren't amazing, 118 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 2: but they're better than what DJ Lemayhew has done. Over 119 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: DJ's last fifty games. He's hitting two eleven. These are 120 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: not small sample sizes. That's a thirty nine point difference 121 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: in average. DJ has two home runs, so half as many. 122 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: Oswaldo is a better player. He's younger at this point. Well, 123 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: I guess he's always going to be younger, but he's 124 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: he's a better player at this point, and I think 125 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: that Oswaldo should get the opportunities. 126 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 4: H Jareck, Hi, this is Barbara in Florida. Has anyone 127 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: else noticed that while Cardlos Rodan came into the season 128 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 4: looking in great shape, he now looks like I thinks 129 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 4: about twenty pounds. Have you around the middle? 130 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: Just asking? 131 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: You're the first person that has called in and said that. 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: I haven't heard that mentioned, but it's not surprising. I 133 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: think with the amount of meatballs that he serves up, 134 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: he's just decided to eat a few more of them. 135 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: That's all it is. But yeah, he's definitely put on 136 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: some weight. 137 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 5: I agree with you, Hey, Derek, just studying the obvious. 138 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 5: We're playing down with the competition, but it's been that 139 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 5: way the whole year. I really think we kind of 140 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 5: lack the clutch gan, so to speak. I don't see 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 5: this coming from behind in many games, especially lately. Other thoughts, 142 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 5: I still would like to see Wells and Caberra get 143 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 5: a shot at first base, even though Rizzo's going to 144 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,119 Speaker 5: get most of the reps, and hopefully hopefully the Marten gets 145 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 5: a lot of reps in left field, and then I 146 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 5: think things will get ironed out. 147 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see what Anthony Rizzo looks like 148 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: when he comes back now he's an other guy who 149 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: just looked old. Before he went down with that injury, 150 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: we were clamoring for him to be released or dfaide 151 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 2: or benched or whatever, and you know, then he got 152 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: hurt and everybody just kind of forgot how much he's stunk. 153 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: If he comes back in stinks again, it doesn't help anybody. 154 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: So it's going to be imperative for the Yankees to 155 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: get some production out of first base. And as far 156 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 2: as not coming back and things like that, I think 157 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: there's something to what you're saying. Early on in this season, 158 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 2: we kept saying this team had some dog in him. Right. Well, 159 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: that dog has been missing in action over the last 160 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 2: you know, a couple of months. We haven't seen it. 161 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek calling up about DJ Lemayhew. I know he's 162 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 6: forgetting a lot of criticism lately, and I think it's warranted. 163 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 6: You know, he's an old guy. He's getting paid fifteen 164 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 6: million dollars a year and I know Alan Boom wants 165 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 6: to put him in the lineup because of that, But 166 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 6: at this point that money is worth more as a 167 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 6: roster spot. Right now, we're just going to have to 168 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 6: eat that contract up, and he should be riding the 169 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 6: bench at. 170 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: This point one hundred percent. It's like the Yankees and 171 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: especially Aaron Boone are saying to us, don't believe you're 172 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 2: lying eyes. This guy can still really play. But I 173 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 2: mean he's had over two hundred plate appearances at this point. 174 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: I mean he should have gotten hot by now. But 175 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: his hot streaks at this point in his career consist of, 176 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: you know, a couple of ground balls with eyes. You know, 177 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: just he's not driving the ball, so something needs to 178 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 2: be done. Like I said, over his last fifty games 179 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 2: hitting two to eleven.

Once again, we made the Nationals 202 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 9: go bust and loose to our confidence. We could not 203 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 9: stop a rookie who was just called up a couple 204 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 9: of days ago and made him look good in his 205 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 9: first few days, and as usual to our losses, the 206 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 9: double play monster gets us again. That series reminds me 207 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 9: of the Race Series last month because of the many 208 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 9: opportunities we were given by them and did not take 209 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 9: those chances. The Yankees should immediately apologize to the fans 210 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 9: with this major embarrassment and actually be honest to them 211 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 9: instead of putting out the same stupid nonsense every single time, 212 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 9: like the fans aren't going to care. 213 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: Look, the Yankees are not going to apologize to their 214 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: fans if they get bounced from the playoffs. You might 215 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: see a statement like we expect better, our fans deserve better, 216 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: we want to make the city of New York proud, 217 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: and all this nonsense. But you're right, They've just got 218 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: to play better, right, Just play better. Aaron Boone has 219 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 2: got to get more out of this team. The hitting 220 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 2: coach has got to get more out of this offense 221 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. But ultimately it falls on 222 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: the players. They've got to do their jobs. I'm really 223 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: looking forward to injecting some more youth into this team. 224 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: I really think Domingez is one of those guys who's 225 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: not going to be home run or nothing. I've been 226 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,199 Speaker 2: watching him hit for a long time now, and he's 227 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: a guy who uses the whole field. He hits line, 228 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: drives line to line. If the Yankees have the balls 229 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: the cajones to play him, I think he will add 230 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 2: a lot to this lineup. He's certainly going to hit 231 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: better than two twenty or whatever Verdugo's hitting at this point, 232 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 2: So you know, no apologies are coming, but hopefully some 233 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: reinforcements are coming. 234 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 10: Jay Calling from Southern Indiana, Derek, I just wanted to 235 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 10: talk about the biggest worry with this team seems to 236 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 10: be their ability to come back in games. 237 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 11: You know, it seems like. 238 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 10: If we get down by two three runs in the 239 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 10: first three. 240 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 11: Innings, kind of like the game is over. I mean, 241 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 11: I know we had the Boston game where there was 242 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 11: a lot of back and forth, but it really feels 243 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 11: like if we get down early, we don't really have 244 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 11: much shot to coming back. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. 245 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 11: Is that a personnel thing. Is that a coaching thing 246 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 11: to where we just don't seem to have the focus 247 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 11: or the guts per se to come back and take 248 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 11: a victory away from a team. 249 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a guts thing. I think it's 250 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: a hitting with runners in scoring position thing. The Yankees 251 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: a lot of times, as Aaron Boone will say, we'll 252 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: have traffic all over the bases, They'll put a ton 253 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: of guys on, they walk, they'll get two out hits, 254 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: but they don't hit with runners on. So I think 255 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: it's an approach. I think it's an organizational approach that 256 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: they've had for years. We've been talking about the Yankees' 257 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: inability to hit with runners in scoring position since like 258 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 2: two thousand and one. I feel like it's been decades 259 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: at this point where the same issues crop up year 260 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 2: in and year out, and they have got to do 261 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: a better job of just making contact and maybe switching 262 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 2: to a line drive approach when you got guys on 263 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: base instead of always trying to put the ball in 264 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 2: the upper deck. That's what I see. I don't think 265 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: there's anything to their guts. I think that you've got 266 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: a lot of guys on this team that want to win, right. 267 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: I think you got some guys that have extreme talent. 268 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: Volpi is extremely talented as a player, but his approach 269 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: sometimes is awful. And then there's also just the management aspect. 270 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: Aaron Boone refuses to put the best players on the 271 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: field full stop. How do you expect to win when 272 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 2: you've got better players on the bench. Sorry, I just 273 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: dropped something. You've got to put the best lineup on 274 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: the field going forward. The time for screwing around is over. 275 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: We're in the final stretch of games. You got to 276 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: get the best players together and get them used to playing. 277 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: You've basically got a high school season length of games 278 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: left before the playoffs start. Get everybody on on the 279 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 2: same page and find out who's going to be mad 280 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: enough to come up big in the postseason. 281 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 12: Hey, Derek Jeffrey Cole, I'm watching the game and it's 282 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 12: the fourth inning and I just saw DJ LeMay, you 283 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 12: hit into another double play, another another inning ending double play. 284 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 12: How can they continue to run this sky out there? 285 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 2: You can't full stop. It's got a change. 286 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 13: What's going on? Derek Shman I just had to say 287 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 13: after a super disappointing series there in Washington. I just 288 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 13: cannot and it absolutely baffles me how they let the 289 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 13: Shaparro kid go to the Nats when they currently have 290 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 13: the worst first base issues probably in the league. DJ 291 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 13: is completely off. Ben Rice came up, he looked real 292 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 13: good at the beginning, and then just now he's ice cold. 293 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 13: And to not even give this kid Shapara, look who 294 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 13: I believe last year had like twenty five home runs 295 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 13: in the minors for US. It seems to be just short. 296 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 7: Of a war crime. 297 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: War crime, I don't know about that, but it's definitely 298 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: malpracticed to let this bat leave the organization. This guy 299 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: is absolutely going to mash you can bet on it. Correct. 300 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 2: This guy has a great swing. Shaparo should be playing 301 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: first base for the Yankees right now. Hell, they should 302 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: have picked him up at the deadline. You know, he 303 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 2: left as a minor league free agent. He went to 304 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: I believe it was Colorado, and now he's back with 305 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: the Nationals and would not shock me if he mashes 306 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: with the Nationals for a while. All right, thanks for 307 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: your calls, everybody, quick nostra Derek prediction, and then I'll 308 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 2: see you after the game. All right, this prediction did 309 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: not work the other day, but we're gonna run it back. 310 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: Judge is getting number fifty two tonight. I think he's 311 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: gonna find the short porch in right field. We got 312 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: Eric Fetti pitching, right handed pitcher. He's gonna work him 313 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 2: on the outside of the plate, and I think Judge 314 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: is going deep. I'll see you after the game. If 315 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: you enjoyed this video, please drop a like and give 316 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 2: us a subscribe.
