1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: All right, the tip defeat. It is Thursday, June twelfth, 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: and the Yankees were taking on the Royals. Aaron Judge 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: not in the lineup against set Blugo, but the Yankees 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: still going for the sweep. My recap and your reactions 5 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: coming up next. This is pinstrip Territory. Just whim to 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: cook at all. How's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. 7 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: Nights like tonight are honestly the toughest shows to put together. 8 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: Pitchers duel a lot of good defense on both sides, 9 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 1: but not a lot of offense. But at the end 10 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: of the day, the Yankees won one to nothing and 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: they sweep the three game set, and we got a 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: little wind streak happening. Wow. Winning. Look, I love a 13 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: good picture's duel as much as anyone, but I'll admit 14 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: I enjoy my job a little bit more when it's 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, ten to two, like it was a couple 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: of nights ago, five minutes of show, and sometimes you're 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: stretching content because, let's face it, nobody wants to watch 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: me analyze, you know, fifteen groundouts to second base. But 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: here's what we're doing tonight. We're gonna give Will Warren 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: his flowers because he was absolute nails tonight. We actually 21 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: had contributions from Pablo Reyes for once, we'll hit some 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: stat cast stuff, see who's doing what with the metrics, 23 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: and we'll put a bow on this series sweep for 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees, and of course we got to talk about 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: this upcoming series with the Red Sox why it actually matters. 26 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: But before we get rolling, just a heads up tomorrow 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: our pregame show five thirty PM. We're gonna have my 28 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: guy Ray fonseeka on Raisman on a few times. And 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: if you know Ray, he does not hold back, especially 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: when it comes to Aaron Boone. So if you want 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: some fireworks, you're gonna want to tune in for that one. 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: But we got a quick super chat here special lineup 33 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: gets it done. Yeah, I guess you could say that 34 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: it was more like the pitching got it done tonight 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: and the defense really solid defense tonight from the Yankees'. 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: To move on to the recap here go it. So 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge was out of the lineup first time all year. 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: He did get into the game, but if you're gonna 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: give him a night off or at least not start him, 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: this is the time to do it. We got a 41 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: couple of calls, why did they bench judge or whatever. Look, 42 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: you've already got the series wrapped up, you're on the road. 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: He hasn't had a day off all year long. This 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: is probably a good time to do it, in the 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: middle of a stretch of sixteen straight games. I was 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: gonna make a crack about how he's tired from carrying 47 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: the offense all year, but that's not really true. Gold 48 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Schmid's had a great year. Wells has been money lately, 49 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: Bellinger has contributed, Jazz has been good lately. But he 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: was out of the lineup tonight with a groin or 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: he was out of the lineup tonight, and Jazz was 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: out of the lineup with a groin issue, And so 53 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: the bottom of the lineup tonight was not exactly murderer's row. 54 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: He had jac Escara, Pablo Reyes, and Oswald Parazza in there. 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: And look, the Yankees actually almost broke it open right 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: after the rain delay and the sixth inning. Cody Bellinger 57 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: smashed one into the field gap, probably a double or 58 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: a home run in Boston this weekend, but lots of 59 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: room out there in Casey and Isbel tracked it down 60 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: and made a phenomenal catch to save some runs. As 61 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: baseball I thought, Jason Dominguez made a really nice play 62 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: in the bottom of the sixth inning. India was up 63 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: and he smoked one to left field. Could have gone 64 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: for extra bases, but Diminga's got there made a tremendous 65 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: throw to second base to hold him to a single 66 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: that might have changed the whole inning. Yankees ended up 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: getting out of it without any run scoring. Obviously. We 68 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: had a tremendous Jeter style play from Anthony Volpi in 69 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: the seventh inning to get the speedy Salvador Perez to 70 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: be fair. He is quite slow, but still a great 71 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: play from the kid. Judge pitch hit in the eighth 72 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: inning and he struck out on what was obviously a 73 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: bad call. The same pitch before that was called the ball. 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: This one got called the strike breaking ball, clearly inside 75 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: off the plate. Next year, ABS will fix that if 76 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: you have challenges left in the game, which is not 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: a game guarantee, but did not help judge tonight. Obviously, 78 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: Yankees ended up taking the lead on a wild play 79 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Goldschmid single off the first baseman's glove. Reyes was coming 80 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: around third base and almost fell down, picked it back 81 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: up and barely scored. He also played good defense tonight. 82 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: That play reminded me of Enrique Wilson in the ninety 83 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: eight ALCS. Some of you will remember this. There was 84 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: a play at first base. Now Block was pointing at 85 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: the ball instead, or he was actually pointing at the 86 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: bag while the ball was rolling away and the play 87 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: was still going on, and Enrie K. Wilson was coming 88 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: around third base and he was he was like windmilling 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: because he was he was losing his balance. He ended 90 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: up scoring. But the headline on the paper the next day, 91 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I think it was New York Post might have been 92 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: at times said blockhead and I was still one of 93 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: my favorite headlines of all time. But we had a great, 94 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: great outing from Devin Williams tonight to close it out, 95 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: gutsy fastball to finish it off. I thought for sure 96 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: he was gonna go with the airbender. But fastball right 97 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: down the middle for strike three and the Yankees sweet 98 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 1: the series. Now I've see some calls for Rays to 99 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: get the belt. I'm gonna go ahead and level with you. 100 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: I'm not giving the belt to race you know, look, 101 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: he made a couple of nice plays. His contributions were decent. 102 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: We're gonna give him an honorable mention. But I thought 103 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: Will Warren was tremendous tonight. He went five and two 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: thirds innings of scoreless ball, and I've actually got five 105 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: n's on the screen, but I'm gonna fix it real quick. 106 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: And he was tremendous. Lowered to Zra under five. Will 107 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: highlight him in a minute, but first we got to 108 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: give out some hardware. Will Warren with the Belts, really 109 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: solid performance, pounding the zone. Didn't have as many strikeouts 110 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: as usual, less strikeouts and innings pitched, which is unusual 111 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: for him, but gutsy performance. I thought it was kind 112 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: of a quick hook. Let's got in spotlight and let's 113 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: get to the spotlight, real quick pitch. So he bounced back. 114 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: He had a couple of tough games. Obviously the Dodgers 115 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: ate his lunch, and then the last time he pitched, 116 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: I think it was five good innings and then he 117 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: fell apart in about the sixth inning. Tonight, much different guy. 118 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: He was pounding the zone, he was mixing his pitch 119 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: as well. He wasn't getting as many strikeouts, or whiffs 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: as usual. He only had five whiffs tonight, but you know, 121 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: he hung in there. I was worried about him coming 122 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: back after the rain delay, because sometimes that can disrupt 123 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: the guy's rhythm, and you know, if you have to 124 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: sit for thirty forty minutes can throw you off. Your 125 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: muscles can start to stiffen up. And that might have 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: been the reason that we had kind of a quick 127 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: hook with him tonight. But he ended up completing five 128 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: and two thirds innings. He allowed four hits, no runs, 129 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 1: one walk, four strikeouts. He topped out at ninety four 130 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: point nine miles an hour. All in all, a tremendous, 131 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: tremendous performance. He did leave a man on first base, 132 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: and then might worry switched to Tim Ill, who's not 133 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: been great lately. But with a guy on first base, 134 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: Lefty up it. You know, it was pretty much smooth sailing. 135 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: He was able to get the out and the Yankees 136 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: escaped further trouble. So let's highlight the sweep. I know 137 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people kind of tune out on these 138 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: late games. Luckily we're getting done fairly early tonight. You know, 139 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: the last couple of games have been long because of 140 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: the offense, but you know, a one nothing game with 141 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: some quick outs even with the rain delay. I mean 142 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: we were looking at maybe like an hour and forty 143 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: five minute game when the rain showed up. But you know, 144 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: the starting pitching was tremendous in this series. You know, 145 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: Max freed nine to one. Now, Clark Schmidt was phenomenal, 146 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: lowered his ERA to three point six zero, and then 147 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: tonight Will Warren with five to two third shutout innings 148 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: and picking up the belt. Aaron Judge homered in back 149 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: to back games before getting most of tonight off. I 150 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys remember this. There was a 151 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: tweet about I don't know a couple months ago that 152 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: went kind of viral, is about Aaron Judge, and it 153 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: was about how most of his home runs are at 154 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium and they're they're kind of like, uh, you know, 155 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: cheap or whatever, short porch or somebody who obviously doesn't 156 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: watch Aaron Judge's home runs very often. Sure he hit 157 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: some short porch home runs, but they said if he 158 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: played in KC, he wouldn't hit for the kind of 159 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: power that he does well. First pitch that he saw 160 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: in the series, he damn near hit it out of 161 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: the entire stadium. He almost sad it out of Kansas. Anyway. 162 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: A nice series for Judge. Couple of home runs reached 163 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: twenty five. The over one tonight has him down to 164 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: three ninety two with a one point two six y 165 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: four ops on the season. Just having a phenomenal, legendary season. 166 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Austin Wells had a good series. He's heating up. He 167 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: has begun his annual summer. You know, hot streak, Jazz 168 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: Chisholm hurting. He did not play tonight. He had had 169 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of a growing issue. He had a 170 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: neck issue a few days ago. You just want to 171 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: give him a day or two to off, you know, 172 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: maybe even give him tomorrow off against the Red Sox, 173 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 1: just to make sure he's, you know, back to feeling good. 174 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: But you know, it was weird how much the Yankees 175 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: hit the last couple of nights, and then tonight everything 176 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: was quiet. It's almost like if you take the MVP 177 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: out of the lineup and put your three worst hitters 178 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: at the bottom against a really good pitcher, it's difficult 179 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: to score. But anyway, now they head to Boston. Lemayhu, 180 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: by the way, didn't play tonight. Either he's been looking 181 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: solid and the defense got it done. Tonight defense was phenomenal, 182 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: not only Reyis but Volpi Dominguez. So a really, really 183 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 1: good series for the Yankees, and I wanted to take 184 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: some time now to look at some stat cast data. 185 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: We've got five players. We do this occasionally. We'll just 186 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: go through four or five people and just kind of 187 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: see how everybody's doing. There's been a lot of talk 188 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: lately about Ben Rice because Stanton's coming back, and Ben 189 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: Rice has been exceptionally unlucky this year. His ex wOBA 190 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: is four h s. His expected batting average is two 191 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: ninety three. Instead he's hitting two thirty five because he 192 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: hits line drives right at guys, right at guys. His 193 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: expected slugging is five sixty five. His actual slugging is 194 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: four eighty. I mean's just really unlucky. His average exit 195 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: velocity is ninety four point four, in the ninety eighth 196 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: percentile of Major League Baseball. He just hits the ball 197 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: so fricking hard. Tonight he hit one to center field 198 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: that got tracked down, but he absolutely smoked it. He 199 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: absolutely smoked it. Barrel percentage, hard hit percentage, bat speed 200 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: Chase percentage all phenomenal. I hope they continue to get 201 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: him at bats even when Stanton comes back, We're gonna 202 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: see him at catcher more. But really good start to 203 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: the year for ben Rice. Talk about Austin Wells as 204 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: he begins to heat up. You know, he's got the 205 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: average up to two twenty eight, which is his actual 206 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: career average. You'd like to see that come up. I'm 207 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: still a batting average guy. I still like a guy 208 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: who gets it's a high percentage of hits. I like 209 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: hits and walks, you know. You I think of a 210 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: good hitter these days as two seventy plus because lee 211 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: average is about two forty five, right, so if you 212 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: hit two seventy y're well above average. It's not you know, 213 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: people just don't hit three hundred very often anymore. And 214 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: Judge forget about it hitting basically four hundred. But I'd 215 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: like to see him hit closer to two fifty with 216 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: his power. Uh, he does have eleven home runs. He's 217 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: on pace for twenty seven home runs. He's on pace 218 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: for over one hundred RBIs. You know, those are pisadon numbers, 219 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, And he's doing a good job behind the plate. 220 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: You see the fielding run value in the eighty second percentile. 221 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: He hasn't been particularly unlucky. If anything, he's gotten a 222 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: couple of points his expected batting average two twenty six, 223 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: so two points lower than his actual average. But his 224 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: average exit velocity is good. So what does this tell us, 225 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: I mean, is there really a correlation between exit velocity 226 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: and the amount of hits you get? If we see 227 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: this tremendous exit velocity from Ben Rice and from Austin 228 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: Wells and just you know, doesn't always add up to hits, 229 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: that tells me that they're positioning them well and they're 230 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: hitting into some outs. But his hard hit percentage, his 231 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: bat speed both damn near elite barrel percentage is good. 232 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: Really on defense, it's the framing that keeps him above average. 233 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: Everything else is below average. So you wonder how that'll 234 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: change with the abs. How many runs will he actually 235 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: save with his framing. Let's talk about Trent Grisham. He 236 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: got off to an amazing start this year. You're seeing 237 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: some of the numbers come back down to earth. He 238 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: was in the ninetieth percentile for a lot of the years, 239 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: a lot of the year rather but you know, he's 240 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: fallen with the average from around you know, three hundred 241 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: to you know, two forty one. Still got decent power 242 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: thirteen home runs, but has not hit many lately. Continues 243 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: to play solid defense. Yesterday he made a couple of 244 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: really nice diving catches. I was surprised to see his 245 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: defensive run value as barely above average. It's in the 246 00:12:53,400 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: fifty fourth percentile. Just really really, you know, just average. 247 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 1: I mean, but he looks so comfortable out there. So anyway, 248 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: all right, so arm strength positive for him. Cody Bellinger, 249 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: you know, one of the big offseason pickups. His fielding 250 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: run value is in the ninety first percentile. It's been great. 251 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: His batting run value is well above average sweet spot 252 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: eightieth percentile, squared up percentage in the seventy fifth percentile, 253 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: fifth percentage, K percentage, walk percentage, all really good. But 254 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: the fielding has been just phenomenal. I mean, what I 255 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: noticed with him is he takes great routes, not only 256 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: on fly balls, but on hits, on balls that hit 257 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: off the wall. I bet he was good at geometry 258 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: in high school because he has really good angles, right, 259 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: He takes great angles, and his speed he's always hustling, 260 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: he never jogs out of the box, he never dogs it. 261 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: He's got three triples this year, so I think the 262 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: power is gonna go up a little bit too. I mean, 263 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: he had, you know, eighteen home runs last year. He's 264 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: got nine already, and that's with a slow start. I 265 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: think he's gonna have twenty home runs this year, You'll 266 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: take and I think he's gonna hit for a higher 267 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: average in two fifty eight two again, really slow start. 268 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: I think two seventy with twenty home runs and really 269 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: great defense is worth you know, obviously the price that 270 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: we're paying for him, which is a lot of money 271 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: to you and me, but for a major league baseball player, 272 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: you can certainly pay a lot more for his skill set. 273 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: And then Paul Goldschmidt, he's down to three to ten, 274 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: but got the big hit tonight, continues to be clutch, 275 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: having not an MVP caliber season, but certainly all Star consideration, 276 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: if not a starter, probably a reserve. Batting run value 277 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: in the eighty fifth percentile, base running value in the 278 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: sixty ninth percentile. His expected batting average is lower than 279 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: his actual, so he has been a little bit lucky. 280 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: He's hit some soft you know, blop type of hits 281 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: that have dropped in. His sweet spot is great. Bat 282 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 1: speed still well above average for a thirty seven year 283 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: old with percentage strike percentage. That's one of the reasons 284 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: I contend why the Yankees offense has been so much 285 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: better this year is that they're not striking out. They're 286 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: not striking out as much. You know, not everybody is 287 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: selling out for power. You know, even guys like Rizzo, 288 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: who were supposed to be, you know, more of a 289 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: complete hitter. He struck out so much and so many 290 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: weak ground balls to second base. So you know, that's 291 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: where we're at. Also, you know, let's take a look 292 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: at Jason Domingez because I feel like he deserves a 293 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: little of attention for his his rookie year. His fielding 294 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: run value is still not great, but it's climbing. Remember 295 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: the last time we looked at him, he was in 296 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: the second percentile, So he's raised at six percent, is 297 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: still negative four on the defensive run saved batting run 298 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: value sixtieth percentile, so well above average base running percentile 299 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: ninetieth percentile. He hits the ball hard again, not a 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: huge correlation between hitting the ball hard and actual hits, 301 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: and I blame positioning and data. These days, walk percentage 302 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: is elite, especially for a twenty two year old kid. 303 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: I still contend the future is insanely bright for this kid. 304 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: I want to look at his I want. I want 305 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: to look at the walk off. I want to look 306 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: at it. You want, you guys want to watch it. 307 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: Let's watch it. I've watched it one hundred times. Let's 308 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: watch it. Bam, Oh, there it goes windmill helicopter. He 309 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: knows it, everybody knows it. Let's watch it. Second deck 310 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: Mars attacks. All right, quick word from Harry's, and then 311 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: back with final comments as we wrap up a series. 312 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: In baseball, as in life, it's all about having that 313 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: extra edge, that little extra half second of a swing, 314 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: the late break on a slider, or the grit to 315 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: outlast your opponent on a hot afternoon. Same goes for shaving. 316 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: Harry's gives you the edge where it counts. I tried 317 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: the five dollars trial set, and honestly, it's like the 318 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: ace of my bathroom rotation. The handles weighted just right, 319 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: the razor is smooth, and the foaming shave gel lathers 320 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: better than anything I have used before. I keep my 321 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: beard tight around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation. Harry's 322 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: handles it with ease. Even the packaging is big league. 323 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: And their body wash, I've got the redwood scent. It's 324 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: like a fresh cut field on opening day. Get the 325 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: edge on your shave with Harry's razors. Normally their trial 326 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: set is ten dollars, but right now you can get 327 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: it for just five dollars at Harry's dot com slash stripe. 328 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 1: That's Harry's dot com slash stripe for a five dollar 329 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: trial set. Oh, I said, got Frankie up here, let 330 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: me put my solo. I was gonna have two people 331 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: on tonight. Aiden was supposed to join us tonight, but 332 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: he got a little sidetrack so he couldn't make it. 333 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 1: So had to throw this together at the last minute. 334 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: Aidan is typically my stat cast guy, but we went 335 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,479 Speaker 1: solo tonight. We had a request to look at Volpi. Now, 336 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: we did look at him last night when Frankie was on, 337 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: and I mean he's above average and everything you know, 338 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: batting run value, base running value, fielding run value again, 339 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: twenty four years old. He's not a superstar, but He's 340 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: reliable and again a great play tonight, even though it 341 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,719 Speaker 1: was a slow runner. He's uh, he got the job done. 342 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have about, you know, sixteen seventeen 343 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: home runs this year. I think he'll probably hit closer 344 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: to two fifty two sixty. He seems to be using 345 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: right field better, the on base percentages up. Let's just 346 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: see if he can avoid the second half slump. I 347 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: feel like a big problem with Volpi the last few 348 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: years is that he gets tired, and he plays better 349 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: after he gets arrest. I wanted to show you guys 350 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: this spray chart. He's hitting a lot more balls to 351 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: right field, not as many line drives to leftfield. He's 352 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: taking a more concerted approach. You see doubles down the line, 353 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: you see balls up the middle, you see power to 354 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: right deal, you see power to all fields. So you 355 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: know I'm on the I'm on the Volpi hype train still. 356 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: I mean, there were times this year early on where 357 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: he looked, but he's put it together and I'm changing 358 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: my tune a little bit on him. We got a 359 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: call here about the lineup. Hey, Derek, what is Boone thinking? 360 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: Resting judge on a night he's got three other starters 361 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: on the bench. The line up tonight is a joke. Yeah, 362 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: to be fair, that call came in before the game, 363 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: and you know we ended up getting one run. Thankfully, 364 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: the pitching stepped up. Look this day and age, especially 365 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: a guy as big as Judge, you really should get 366 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: some days off. I mean, the Yankees don't play in 367 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: a dome. They play in the open air, so you 368 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: got to deal with the heat, the weather, the rain. 369 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's he played a ton of 370 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: games at center field last year. That's got to wear 371 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: and tear your body. I mean, you gotta look for 372 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: any opportunities you can to get this guy some rest. 373 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: And the fact that they were able to give him 374 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: most of the night off and still get the win, Hey, 375 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: I'll take it. I'll take it. Du Boy Wonders says, 376 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: I watch every game, and Volpi has been solid on 377 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: both sides. I got to agree, he's been solid. He's 378 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: been solid. Not a superstar, but solid, and sometimes you 379 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: need solid. All right, ladies and gentlemen. I'll be back 380 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: tomorrow five point thirty pre game with my guy Ray Franseka, 381 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about Aaron Boone, and then we're 382 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: gonna watch Yankees Red Sox. Terrence Cam will be on 383 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 1: for the evening uh. And then hopefully the Yankees will 384 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,160 Speaker 1: get a little bit of revenge after losing two out 385 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: of three in their home ballpark. Maybe they can take 386 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: at least two out of three in Fenway and shut 387 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: up some of those Fenway faithful. But I will see 388 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow. Thanks for watching. Enjoy your night, Go 389 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: Yanks one more time.
