1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: All right, the jip defeat. It is Tuesday, June tenth, 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: and the Yankees were in Kansas City to take on 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: the Royals at Kaufman Stadium and Aaron Judge almost left 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: Kaufman Stadium. Also had a big three run shot from 5 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: Austin Wells and Max Freed going for win number nine. 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: Just wanted to talk. 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: That's little. 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:33,279 Speaker 1: All right, Game one of the series in the books, 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: and a good night for the Yankees offense. Tend to win. 11 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: Sixteen hits, five RBIs from Austin Wells and Aaron Judge 12 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: just missed hitting a baseball out of Kaufman Stadium entirely 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty nine feet. I'll admit I did 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: not expect an outburst like this tonight against a pitcher 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: who came in with a sub one eer, even if 16 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: he was a rookie. He's been pitching great. We showed 17 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: the metrics on the pregame show. But you know, the 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: Yankees got to him and they hung six runs on him. 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: So is there jumped all the way up to two 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: point one seven. He skipped all over the ones. Anyway, 21 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: rematch up the twenty twenty four American League Division Series 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: and the Yankees once again dropped the Royals, who continued 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: to have no answers for the Yankees. You might remember 24 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: that Jazz Chisholm talked a little bit of smack in 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: that Alds and he got booed severely in that series, 26 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and he got booed severely again tonight. I had totally 27 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: forgotten about it, honestly, but Casey fans did not. They 28 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: were all over him. He actually got tagged really hard, 29 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: almost got into a fight, had some choice words, and 30 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: had to leave the game with a stiff neck. So 31 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: hopefully he's okay. He's been swinging the bat pretty well. 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: He made kind of a crazy throw at third base again, 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: kind of cut Volpi off and chucked one way out 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of play. But before we get to the blowout, when 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: we have some results for John Carlos Stanton. Tonight in 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: his rehab game, in case he missed it, he went 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: two for three, He had three RBIs. He had a 38 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: single off the centerfield wall. Have you ever heard anything 39 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: more John Carlos Stanton than that single off the center 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: field wall. He also hit a line drive over the shortstop. Look, 41 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: if I told you any Summerset player hit a single 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: off the center field wall, you would have known instantaneously 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: it was John Carlos Stanton unless the guy fell down. 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: It's like a modified version of that Lou Brown quote 45 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: from Major League you may run like Mays, but you 46 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: hit like shit. Well he's you know, he may hit 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: like Mayes, but he runs like shit. But he did 48 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: drive in three runs. They sat on the broadcast night 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: that he probably will not return this weekend in Fenway, 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: which I don't know why. I mean, he mashes there 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: and he looked good tonight, so we'll see. But let's 52 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: get to the game at hand. All right, let's go, 53 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: let's get it going. Aaron Judge got things started in 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: the first inning, one of the longest home runs you 55 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: will ever see way upstairs. Indeed, Dave Simms on the call, 56 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: I thought he hit the ball out of the stadium. 57 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: It ended up hitting off the Royals Hall of Fame sign. 58 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: I hit one in MLB the show up there one time, 59 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: and I remember thinking, oh, that's pretty unrealistic. But Eron 60 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: Judges did it real live twenty fourth home run of 61 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: the season. Watch out Cal RAWI, Aaron Judge is coming 62 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: for you. One hundred and eighteen miles an hour off 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the bat. They showed the Bo Jackson home run in 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: during the game. It was his first home run, I believe, 65 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: and he hit it four hundred and seventy five feet. 66 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: And when Judge hit this home run, I was thinking, 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: that's up there where bo Jackson hit it. Now Bo's 68 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: was over towards left center more but still same category anyway, 69 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: absolutely crushed. The funniest thing is that Judge didn't even 70 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: watch where it went. He swung, he hit it, he 71 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: saw it was headed out. He knew it was gone. 72 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: He could feel it. You know, when you make contact 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: like that, anybody who is a baseball player who has 74 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: hit home runs before knows it. You don't even feel 75 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: it hit the bat. So when you see that trajectory, 76 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: you felt the clean contact. He knew it was gone. 77 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: He didn't need to look at it. No antics, no 78 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: bat flip. The home run spoke for itself, no reason 79 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: to show up the competition. That's why I love Aaron Judge. 80 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: He's humble, he knows he's good. He's a gentle giant. 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: But he just keeps getting better and better killer instinct. 82 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: There's only one thing left for him to do, and 83 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: that's to do it. In October, Demingez actually let off 84 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: the second ending with a base it against the left 85 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: He pop up that dropped in, will take it. He 86 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 1: had a couple of those tonight. He also hit some 87 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: balls hard that we're out. So that's baseball, Susan, that's 88 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: how it works out. But he did have three hits tonight. 89 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: Royal's got a run back courtesy of a RBI ground 90 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: up by Jack cagleone, who was making his Kaufman Stadium debut. 91 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: That guy take a damn cut at the baseball. I'm 92 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: looking forward to watching his career unfold for the next 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: few years before he gets traded to the Dodgers. DJ 94 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: Lemayhew swung the bat well today. He also played great 95 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: defense today. His legs finally seem to be under him. 96 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 1: He looks great. But you know, I'm going to remain 97 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: skeptical that he can stay healthy for the whole year 98 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: because we haven't seen it. But encouraging signs lately for Lemayhew, 99 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: who's up to two seventy seven with a seven to 100 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: sixty five. Ops's been a while since we've seen him 101 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: put up those kind of numbers even in a small 102 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: sample size and playing well at second base. Terrific at 103 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: bat from Austin Wells in the fourth inning, battled, battled, battled, 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: kept fouling pitches off, finally got a hanging slider from 105 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: the lefty up and in and put it in the 106 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: right field bullpen for a three run shot. Mustad riding 107 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Steve Fontaine with the quest and totally unrelated says, what's 108 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: your favorite episodes of Seinfeld? It's got to be the 109 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: one where he was where George pulls the golf ball 110 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: out of the Wales blowhole that Kramer hid in there. 111 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: Perfect Dan neu Ma. Anyway, Austin Wells eleventh home run 112 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: of the season. We talked about on the pregame show 113 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: that he typically heats up during the summertime. He's been 114 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: doing it his whole career, including the minor leagues. He 115 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: had a double tonight to earn double, so five RBIs. 116 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: He's over forty RBIs now on the season, and we'll 117 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: highlight him a little bit more later on, but we 118 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 1: could sure use a red hot Austin Wells for a while. 119 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: Yankees broke it open in the sixth ending thousandth career 120 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: hit for Cody Bellinger. As I mentioned, Jazz threw one 121 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: away Volpi doubled tonight, But all in all, a really 122 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: good night for the Yankees and they win a nailbier 123 00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: tend to oh game over Dames winn yank you. Oh 124 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: all right? So ray Ward says, Jazz has to not 125 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: pull this bs of getting stupid injuries when we need 126 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: him to be in shape for the summer. Even Goldie 127 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: staying healthy. Well, Goldie's always healthy. He plays one hundred 128 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: fifty games a year. He's one of those guys just reliable, 129 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: you know, like an old station wagon. But I think 130 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: we got some belt hardware to hand out tonight. I'm 131 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: seeing some mixed votes. We got some votes for Judge 132 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: for just probably the length of that home run, and 133 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: he had three RBIs. He had two hits, and we'll 134 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: highlight him again in a minute too, because I don't 135 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: think we'd even talk about him enough. But tonight I 136 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: gotta go with the man who had five ribbi's, and 137 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: that is Austin Wells. Second belt of the year for 138 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: the mustachioed one or one of the mustachioled ones. Yanks 139 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: have a couple of mustaches this year, but now hitting 140 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: two twenty seven, so it seems like just a week 141 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: ago he was hitting around two hundred. So's average significantly 142 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: and the ops is climbing seven to seventy. He's got 143 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: eleven home runs forty one riby, so he's on pace 144 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: for some pretty good numbers. I don't have his on 145 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: pace numbers in front of me, but we'll look him 146 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,679 Speaker 1: up next time we do that on pace kind of segment. 147 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: But he has turned it on for sure, and let's 148 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: hope he keeps going again. We'll highlight him more in 149 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: a minute, but first I got to talk about another 150 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: outstanding performance from Max Freed, who was tremendous tonight. I 151 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: thought he was great. If you're just box score watching, 152 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: you might not realize how dominant he was because he 153 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: only struck out four and he did allow two runs, 154 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: which is higher than his typical output or whatever you 155 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 1: want to call it. But if you actually watched, you 156 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: saw that he was in total control. Royals could not 157 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: square anything up all night. We saw soft ground balls. 158 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, how many little ground balls did they hit 159 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: in front of the pitcher's mount About five or six 160 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: little pop ups, just weak contact. Batter after batter. His 161 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: velocity was up, his pitch count was down. He crew 162 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: deep into the game, he didn't even throw a hundred pitches, 163 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: and he completed seven innings, ground balls all night long, 164 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: work both sides of the plate. Now nine and one 165 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: with a one point eight four er out standing and 166 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: in the absence of our ace. He has stepped in 167 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: and completely dominated this year. And that's what impresses me 168 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: about Max Freed. You know, nothing rattles him. He's automatic 169 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: and there's no drama, no fuss, just gets the job done. 170 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Somebody gets on base, he picks his ass off. Look, 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, especially pitchers, need an adjustment period 172 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: when they put on the pinstripes. It's a different kind 173 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: of pressure with the Yankees, the media, the expectations, the podcasts, 174 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: fans like us dissecting every single pitch. Some guys get 175 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: the big contract and you see them tighten up, or 176 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 1: you see that first bat outing and they spiral for 177 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: a month. Not Freed, total opposite. Dodgers roughed him up 178 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: and he has gotten right back on the horse and 179 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: started dominating again. He's having one of his last years. 180 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: If not his best. He might win twenty games, he 181 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: might start the All Star Game. He's absolutely in the 182 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 1: Cy Young conversation at this point. I know Scuba is 183 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: the favorite, but Freed is pitching great. And it's rare, honestly, 184 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,479 Speaker 1: to see a guy come in and look this reliable 185 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: right away, and you know, we almost forget we don't 186 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: have we don't have Garrett Cole. You know, he was 187 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: supposed to be the ace, but Max Freed has stepped 188 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: in and filled those shoes perfectly. Fantastic job for Max Free. 189 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: Peter says, Max is our ace. All of the outs 190 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: were groundouts or strikeouts? Is that true? Wan Soto commenting 191 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: in the chat, I didn't realize that they might have 192 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: said that on the broadcast, but I missed it. But hey, 193 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: even more impressive. All right, so let's talk about the 194 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,959 Speaker 1: big guy, Aaron Judge for a minute. I know he 195 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: doesn't lead the league in home runs or RBIs right now, 196 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: but I'm telling you, I'm telling you this moment, June ten, 197 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: I am going on the record he will win the 198 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five Triple Crown. He's probably gonna hit three 199 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: seventy plus, if not higher. He's on pace for close 200 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: to sixty home runs. He's on pace for about one 201 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: hundred and forty RBIs, which would be almost as many 202 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: as he had last year with Juan Soto, the on 203 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: base machine, hitting in front of him. Imagine if this 204 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: team had a consistent leadoff man in front of him 205 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: this year, he might drive in one sixty one to seventy. 206 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: I was talking to my guy Ray Fonsekho's gonna be 207 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: on the pregame show Friday, and we were saying, tonight 208 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: would have been a perfect night for Volpi to hit leadoff, 209 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: but they keep running gold Schmidt out there in the 210 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: leadoff spot against lefties. I'd rather see gold Schmidt in 211 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: a RBI spot. You know, he picks up so many hits. 212 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: Let him drive in some runs. But hey, judge through 213 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: sixty five games hitting three to ninety six with twenty 214 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: four home runs, a one point two six seven ops, 215 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: fifty eight RBIs. People were saying he's the greatest right 216 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: hitded hitter of all time. I can't say that because 217 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen every right handed hitter of all time, 218 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: but I've been watching baseball for thirty seven years, and 219 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: he's the best I've ever seen. I've never seen anybody 220 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: this good. Bonds as left. He was up there, but 221 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: he was also on the juice. Let's just be real, 222 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: let's just have real talk. He he was a two 223 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: ninety hitter with an average of thirty two home runs 224 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: per season from nineteen eighty six to nineteen ninety eight. 225 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: That's a twelve year span, and then all of a 226 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: sudden he turned into Godzilla. Right, miracle, Right, But yeah, 227 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge is good, and he's having a historic season 228 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty nine feet on the home run 229 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: and Austin Wells. Last year from June first to August thirtieth, 230 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: he hit two ninety nine with a three eighty eight 231 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: on base percentage, eleven home runs, and a nine to 232 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: thirty oh ps. And he might be up to it again. 233 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: Three run home run tonight in the fourth inning, two 234 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: run double. Maybe he's just a slow starter. We've seen 235 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: that before. Some guys get out of the gate in 236 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: the lackluster way. John Carlos Stanton is typically like that. 237 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Mark Deschera was like that. Didee Gregorias had some aprils 238 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: that were just you know, an automatic out. Same for 239 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: Gary Sam and sometimes Gary Sin has just never got hot. 240 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: But you know, Austin Wells could be one of those 241 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: guys when it's all said and done. But five RBIs tonight, 242 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: hell of a job, second belt, and I just wanted 243 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: to give him a little shout out. Quick word from 244 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: our sponsor, Harry's Razors. Then we're back. We've got three 245 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: voicemails tonight. We got Brian, we got table talk, and 246 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: we got Mary Beth back in sixty seconds. In baseball, 247 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: as in life, it's all about having that extra edge, 248 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: that little extra half second of a swing, the late 249 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: break on a slider, or the grit to outlast year 250 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: opponent on a hot afternoon. Same goes for shaving. Harry's 251 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: gives you the edge where it counts. I tried the 252 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: five dollars trial set, and honestly, it's like the ace 253 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 1: of my bathroom rotation. The handles weighted just right, the 254 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: razor is smooth, and the foaming shave gel lathers better 255 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: than anything I have used before. I keep my beard 256 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: tight around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation. Harry's handles 257 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: it with ease. Even the packaging is big league, and 258 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: their body wash, I've got the redwood set. It's like 259 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: a fresh cut field on opening day. Get the edge 260 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: on your shave with Harry's razors. Normally their trial set 261 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: is ten dollars, but right now you can get it 262 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 1: for just five dollars at Harry's dot Com slash stripe. 263 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: That's Harry's dot Com slash stripe for a five dollar 264 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: trial set. So I'm looking more at the stats and tarik' scoble. 265 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a three point one war as 266 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: a pitcher, but his ERA is higher than Max Freed's's 267 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: two point one six. He's throwing eighty three and a 268 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: third innings. He got one hundred and five strikeouts, so 269 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: he's got more strikeouts than Freed, and he's got a 270 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: lower whip. But right now I think I would take 271 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: Max Freed. I mean, Max Freed's pitch better, more wins, 272 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: got a lower ERA, and he's been super reliable. We'll 273 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: see how it shakes out. I know a lot of 274 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: the baseball writers loves Scooble and they want to see 275 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: the back to back for the first time since Pedro. 276 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: But all right, we got some calls here Brian talking Freed. 277 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: Awesome performance from Freed. You just kind of like to 278 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 3: see Jazz kind of get used to that internal clock 279 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: over at third base. I know it's kind of a 280 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: new position for him, but second time in about a 281 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 3: week's week's time there where he actually kind of should 282 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: just ate a ball at third base instead of trying 283 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: to make a miraculous play one out of one hundred played, 284 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: just kind of eat that ball in the future instead 285 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 3: of throwing it away and maybe costing us a big inning. 286 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: But besides that, it's been a great game. Man, Let's 287 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: go Yanks. Let's let's keep calling it on. 288 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, and I agree one hundred percent 289 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: on Jazz. You know, some some players you just got 290 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: to let your teammates handle. I mean that that was 291 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: a play that Volpi scoops up, throws the guy out 292 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: at first one hundred percent of the time, maybe ninety 293 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: eight percent of the time. Good a call for Mary 294 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: Beth here. 295 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: Hey Derek, it's Marybeth and it's top of the seventh. 296 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 2: It's ten to two, and it seems like they must 297 00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: have listened to your podcast because the Marsian is doing 298 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: it wells is doing it. We knew that Freed would try. 299 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: Freed would do. 300 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 2: It anyway, This is a good game, so let's enjoy it. 301 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: No June June storm drug. 302 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Let's hope we avoid it. We got a comment here 303 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: about Dominguez from Gregory DM says, want to shout out Domingez. 304 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: Also three hits from the right side and hit the 305 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: ball hard a couple of times. The hits two of 306 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: them were soft, one of them was harder. But he's 307 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: got the average up to two forty six, the opus 308 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: up to seven forty two. Solid. Tomorrow, I would not 309 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: expect to see him in the lineup against Bubich, who 310 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: has been disgusting. You know. I hope this gets his 311 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: confidence up. You know, you let him sit on it 312 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: for a day, but I think Boone's gonna sit him tomorrow. 313 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: Got Tabor talk here about Austin Wells. 314 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, this is Tabor talk from the Cap Skills. 315 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: I had to call you again because I left the 316 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: message earlier. You know, TK thought that Austin Wells just 317 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: this pointing. I know you said you were hoping he 318 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 2: has that he was gonna get hot like last year, 319 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: but unbelievable. Just rip the double and Austin Wells with 320 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: this five RBIs he has five RBI is a home 321 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: run and a double. He's crushing it. Austin Wells, who 322 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: says he's not doing well, Come on, let's go Yankees. 323 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Yeah, Austin Wells, terrific night. I'm gonna 324 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: pull up Austin Wells stat cast numbers, uh, just to 325 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: kind of take a look. I wish they had a 326 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: kind of like a stat Cast metric for how many 327 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: like battled at bats you have, because he seems to 328 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: have these at bats where he fouls off a ton 329 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: of pitches. Even when he doesn't get a hit or 330 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 1: doesn't you know, have a productive at bat, he does 331 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: seem to like foul off a lot of pitches and 332 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 1: make the picture work. Take a look at his numbers 333 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: real quick on stat cast here, I mean very respectable, 334 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: you know. The fielding run value obviously very good, base 335 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: running value just below league average, batting run value slightly 336 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: above league average. The exit velocity is over ninety miles 337 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: an hour, almost up to ninety one. It's at ninety 338 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: point nine. Barrel percentage is in the sixty seventh percentile, 339 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: hard hit percentage in the eightieth percentile, bat speed in 340 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: the seventy seventh percentile. The thing that makes him so 341 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: valuable is his defense, which is framing. Now, the ABS 342 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: system is most likely coming to Major League Baseball next year, 343 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: but that will it's not going to totally eliminate his 344 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: framing ability because it's not like it's one hundred percent automated. 345 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a challenge system. But look at 346 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: his spray chart. I mean, this guy's got power to 347 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: all fields, line to line. He doesn't hit a whole 348 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: lot of line drives to this area to left field. 349 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,919 Speaker 1: I think that's the one part missing. You know, if 350 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: he starts taking some of those outside pitches, like he 351 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: struck out on a breaking ball away, I think if 352 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: he sits on that pitch with two strikes and just 353 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: does what Cody Bellinger does, just kind of shorten up 354 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: and poke out here into left field with two strikes, 355 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: I think he raises his average fifteen twenty points. I 356 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: really do. But another terrific, tremendous, outstanding night from Austin Wells. 357 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. John Blom says, well, I 358 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: just needs to stop swinging at the first pitch and 359 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: he'll be just fine. He does swing at the first pitch, 360 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: a lot. I've noticed that, and he has a lot 361 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: of like nine ten pitch at bats where he fouls 362 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: and battles pitches off. But hey, good night for him tonight. 363 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: So that's gonna do it for me. I made the 364 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: rookie mistake of taking my melowtonin before the broadcast, so 365 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: my eyes are like drooping and I'm like about to 366 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: pass out, but a little bit later than usual.
