1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: All right, but tip to feel you all. 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: To talk, that's all. 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 3: Today is Wednesday, September eighteenth, and the Yankees were back 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 3: in Seattle to take on the Mariners in game two 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 3: of a three game set. With a win, they would 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 3: clinch a playoff. Birth my recap, your reactions coming up next. 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 3: This is Pinstripe Territory. Welcome who we got neil, y'all 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 3: sit Stripe Territory? 9 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: Just really up? 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 4: Pull me back, all right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 3: Game one fifty two is in the books. Just ten 12 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: games to go in the twenty twenty four season, and 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: the Yankees are officially headed to the playoffs. They have 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: punched their ticket TK. This has been a wild season. 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 3: H and also Orioles lost. How you feeling feeling pretty good? 16 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: Five games up? I'll be feeling even better when Clay 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: Holmes is no longer a Yankee because he will be 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: a free agent and there's no chance that the Yankees 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: will be bringing him back. I don't think he gets dfaid. 20 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: Kimberle got dfaied today, I believe because he's had a 21 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: rough year. But Holmes will not be a Yankee next season, 22 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: and I'll feel much better when that happens. 23 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: He's taking years off my life. For the people who 24 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 3: like this podcast, and we're planning to watch for many, 25 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: many decades, You've got a few less years of podcasting 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 3: now because Clay Holmes is killing me. He's taking years 27 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: off of my life. Really good start for Nestor Cortes tonight, 28 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: and for the past several starts, he has looked like 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: that twenty twenty two version of Nestor Cortez, who had 30 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: about a two point four to four era. Not much 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: offense for the Yankees tonight, just three hits. They had 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: two hits in the first nine innings, they had won 33 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: an extra inning, big big double from Anthony Rizzo, and 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: then Volpi back in the lineup. Did not look good. 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: We'll talk more about that. We'll talk a little bit 36 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: about Spencer Jones. But TK you know one thing they 37 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: never mentioned on the broadcast. When the Yankees are in Seattle. 38 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: They always talk about the city. They talk about the 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 3: ski resorts, they talk about the harbor and the music, 40 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: but they never talk about the disproportionate number of serial 41 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: killers from Seattle. Think about it. Ted Bundy, one of 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 3: the goats as far as serial killers are concerned Green 43 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 3: River killer Gary Ridgeway, the one of the Beltway sniper guys. 44 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 3: Dangerous place apparently, Man, why do you think that there's 45 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 3: so many deviant psychopaths in Seattle? Is it the rain? 46 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: The constant rain is at the proximity to dump sites? 47 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: What is it? Man? 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: Well, I mean I've actually been to Seattle. I've been 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: to the ballpark as well. It's really nice. But maybe 50 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: it's all all that caffeine, man, from the coffee I've 51 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: seen there. It is the fun hat. I've seen the 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: original Starbucks in Seattle. But I was thinking, you know 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: what it is, there are so many national parks in 54 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: close proximity, and if you look at a map of 55 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: missing missing people and now national parks, there is a 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: scary parallel right there. So maybe that's what it is. 57 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk a little bit on Neester Cortez because 58 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 3: he was essential in this victory. They mentioned this on 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: the broadcast. But he seems to be throwing a little 60 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: bit harder lately. I don't know if he's angry, I 61 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 3: don't know if he's ticked off, but he's reaching back 62 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: and getting a little bit extra. Six shutout innings in 63 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 3: his and in his last seven games, including six starts 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 3: in one relief, outing one point five to eight e 65 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 3: ra a zero point nine zero whip. And I hope 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 3: somebody's dumping Champagne on his little head right now elite numbers. 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 3: He has really stepped up when we've needed him most. 68 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: Somebody on Reddit said it's like when Mario and the 69 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: Mario Brothers gets that flower lets Hi shoot fireballs. That's 70 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 3: angry nestor. I thought that was great thoughts on Nester tonight, Dude, 71 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: I think. 72 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: It's more the Star where he's like a rainbow that 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about, inn Invincible, Invincible, the 74 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: Invincible Star. I'm thinking to more of that. But yeah, 75 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: that's awesome. I love that comparison. Somebody's got to make 76 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: like a really bad graphic of that now. But yeah, 77 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: he's been great last seven games, Like you said, really 78 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: really good stats. I was actually thinking about this before. 79 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: I didn't look up the stats. But since they skipped 80 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: his spot in the rotation, he's he's pitching a little 81 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: pissed off, it seems, and that's really uh really gotten 82 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: in together with him. But it's funny with this team. 83 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: Usually they're all about like really coddling the players. The 84 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: Yankees have been doing that for this kind of whole 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: Judge era since seventeen. But funny enough, they they kind 86 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: of gave Glabor a little spanking and sat him down, 87 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: and they skipped uh Nest in the rotation. So both 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: of those guys kind of got a little bit of 89 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: a more of a harsher reaction than the Yankees have 90 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: given in recent years, and they've both responded really well. 91 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: So maybe maybe you have a bunch of grown men 92 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: on your team and they understand what's at stake and 93 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: maybe just be I'm not gonna say it, be like 94 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: a total like ass towards them, but maybe just be 95 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: a little bit more firm. 96 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, I mean, Glabor's played better since 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: he got benched all that stuff. So hey, we got 98 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 3: a couple of things that we got to talk about 99 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: too before we get to everything else. How about Jay 100 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: Rod having a little near death experience there in the 101 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: ninth and then the extra inning. In the tenth inning, 102 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: there was a strikeout, the bat went flying towards him. 103 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 3: He had to run out of the way. Jazz is 104 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: screaming throw the ball. The third base coach is saying 105 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: get back Jay. Rod's confused for a second. He goes 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 3: diving back. Wells nails him. So Weaver was great today. 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: We didn't mention him in the opening there. He was 108 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: tremendous again. He continues to be really really good. Ian 109 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 3: Hamilton shutting things down and right now the Yankees are 110 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: partying in the clubhouse. Nestor did not get win number ten. 111 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: I was hoping he would get his tenth win. He 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: would be ten and ten. But Clay Holmes, what do 113 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 3: you what are you gonna do? I mean, the guy 114 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: just thinks, yeah, he's awful, awful, I do. Yeah. Let's 115 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 3: talk a little bit about uh Anthony Vopie here because 116 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 3: Volpie was back in the lineup. He was not good. 117 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: Banged into a double play his first to bat, he 118 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: went oh for four, could not get a bunt down 119 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,119 Speaker 3: in the tenth inning and that was a big run, 120 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: you know, if you get that runner over to third. 121 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: He scores on the next at bat was just fly ball. 122 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: So there's been a ton of heat on him lately 123 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: via social media. Yankees universe feels like they're they're getting 124 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: on him because of his offensive struggles. He's still a 125 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 3: good defensive player. But I think a lot of people 126 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: feel like we've been sold a bag of goods on 127 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: Anthony Vopie. He's gonna be this stud, the superstar quick 128 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 3: rise through the miners, and he's been given a lot 129 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 3: more leashed than I think a lot of other Yankees 130 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 3: who have more promising offensive ability have. Like I have 131 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 3: no doubt in my mind that Piazza would be hitting 132 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 3: better right now if he had been given the same 133 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: amount of bats that Volpie has been given. And we 134 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: know he's he was seen as the better defender of 135 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: the two. So Volpi was kind of taken because of 136 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: his good spring training. He out hit Braza in spring, 137 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: but he's never really gotten it going. He had a 138 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: couple of good months this year to open up the season. 139 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: I think that was like peak Volpe's. That's the Vopee 140 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: we all want to see. He was getting on base 141 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 3: every day, he was dynamic out of the leadoff spot. 142 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 3: But he's really been dreadful for the last few months, 143 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: and I'm starting to feel like his ceiling is like 144 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: an average player, Like he just doesn't have the offensive 145 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: ability to, you know, be a consistent major league hitter 146 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: at least not now. Defense sure been great, and that's, 147 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: as Boone says, enormous, but offensively, he's just been a 148 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: huge disappointment. 149 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I hear everything that you're saying. I 150 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things going on here with Folpi. 151 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: First of all, like you said, the bag of goods, 152 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: we were kind of toll and sold as Yankee fans 153 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: that this guy was going to be the future, the 154 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: second coming of Derek Jeter, which, frankly, I thought that 155 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: was always a little ridiculous saying that Derek Jeter is 156 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: kind of a once in a generation player. But with 157 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Volte gold glove defense great, We're not even going 158 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: to discuss that great. But I think what the Yankees 159 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: have kind of sold to Yankee fans is the player 160 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: that he was in the first like six weeks of 161 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: the season. That's I think the player that they were 162 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: expecting him to become, and that was the player that 163 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: they were selling to us, because at the time when 164 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: he was in the minor leagues, they said no to Castillo, 165 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: they said no to signing Trey Turner or Corey Seeker, 166 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: and Derek and I were discussing this in the green room, 167 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: but Corey Seeker is a guy who's had an excellent 168 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: three years in Texas. He won World Series MVP Lefty Swing. 169 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: He averages a little over thirty home runs. There probably 170 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: hits about forty and Yankee Stadium, but they are discussing 171 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: moving positions with him. But that's, you know, regardless of 172 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: the fact. I think Anthony Volpi at this point, I 173 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: think he's starting to feel the heat a little bit. 174 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: And I think that the Yankees may have bamboozled themselves 175 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: by kind of buying into the storyline a little bit 176 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: too much about local kid grew up a Yankee fan 177 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: from the Tri State area. You know, all you want 178 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: to do is be a Yankee. Kind of sound familiar, 179 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: Derek Peter esk right when Really interestingly enough, I think 180 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: it's the same draft. Correct me if I'm wrong, Derek. 181 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: But they drafted vult in the first round and then 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: Gunner Henderson went in the second round. Yes, exactly, Like 183 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: who would you rather have as your shortstop right now? 184 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: It's a no brainer. Now, if they picked Vulpi in 185 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: the first round and they got Gunner Henderson in the second, 186 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: great they probably would have went with Volti at second 187 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: I think he profiles a little bit better at that 188 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: position physically, but you know, at this point, yeah, you 189 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: would have rather had Gunner Henderson. Now, I'm not ready 190 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: to give up on Anthony Voltpi offensively. The defense is there, 191 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: but I just think that there's still at a little 192 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: bit too much to give up on. He's still really young. 193 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: But I think Derek for me next year is like, 194 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: show me something. If you don't show me something next year, 195 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm kind of just like, Okay, fine, you're a career 196 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: two forty five hitter and you're gonna play good defense, 197 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. If you don't hit me 198 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: like two seventy next year, then I I'm sorry. But like, 199 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: we're heading in the wrong direction here, and I don't 200 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: want to hear people say, oh, you know, he's young 201 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: and give him time. I've said this before. If you're 202 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna be a phenom player, you're a phenom player immediately. 203 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: Bobby Wood Junior kind of burst onto the scene. Juan 204 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: Soto did it. De la Cruz with the Reds is 205 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: kind of doing it right now. Paul Skeen's like these 206 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: phenom guys, they're great as soon as they get up 207 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 1: to the big leagues, they don't really have this kind 208 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: of growth period, if you will. So and the guys, 209 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: some guys, some guys do. Some guys are late bloomers. 210 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: But I'm talking like the phenoms of phenoms. I feel 211 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: like they're immediately kind of just there. And I feel 212 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: like they've already ruined Parraza, they already. 213 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 3: Ruined so Volpi now in his career two ninety two 214 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: on base, which is just not good enough. And you know, 215 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: he's taken a serious dip in power this year. He 216 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: has raised his average from two oh nine to two 217 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 3: forty five, So that's a big leap in average. But 218 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: I mean he's just he's he's not doing much else. 219 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a few more doubles, few more triples. 220 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: He's only walked thirty eight times, so he's walked way 221 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: less than last year. He walked fifty two times last year. 222 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna walk another, you know, fifteen 223 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 3: times this year to pass that. So I don't blame 224 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 3: anybody who's not feeling super excited about what we've seen 225 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: from Volpi. Let's talk a little bit about Spencer Jones, 226 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: our top prospect, hit a four hundred and fifty three 227 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 3: foot home run. Yesterday. I have a little clip from 228 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: JJ Cooper. This is another prospect that I feel like 229 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 3: the Yankee should be a little bit alarmed about, at 230 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: least Yankees fans. So this is JJ Cooper. He's one 231 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: of the big prospect gurus in the world. He's with 232 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: Baseball America and he had a little segment on Spencer 233 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 3: Jones yesterday. It's about a minute long, So I'm gonna 234 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: play it and then I want to get your reaction. 235 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 5: It's an over thirty six percent strikeout rate this year. 236 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 5: You cannot succeed in the big league. You do not 237 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 5: succeed in the big leagues if you're striking out thirty 238 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 5: six percent of the time in Double A. There's not 239 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 5: a translation where you say, Okay, well, I'm going to 240 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 5: keep doing what I'm doing and it's going to work 241 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 5: in the big leagues if you're already striking out that 242 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 5: much in Double A. The key thing for him is 243 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 5: is this is not a year he wants to repeat. 244 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 5: He doesn't want to repeat Double A next year either. Obviously, 245 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 5: this has to be kind of the step forward where 246 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 5: next year, okay, some changes, some adjustments to make more contact, 247 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 5: because that is a derailing flaw. If he can't fix it, 248 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 5: it's you're hoping it's a one year kind of It 249 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 5: was a derailment. You get the train back on the tracks, 250 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 5: and you keep going down the down, you know, towards 251 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 5: the journey. But right now, it's got to get better 252 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 5: because there are just not examples of guys striking out 253 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 5: at this rate who then go on to big league 254 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 5: success without making improvement. 255 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: So at Double A this year, two fifty nine, seventeen 256 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 3: home runs, two hundred strikeouts, two hundred TK. So let 257 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 3: me get your thoughts on Spencer Jones. I knew you 258 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: were very high on him headed into the season. 259 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: Any thoughts, I mean, I'm still high on and I 260 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: just want to give you some context because I was 261 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: looking at this before the show. But for for some context, 262 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: and this has nothing to do with my argument. Aaron 263 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: Judge in twenty fifteen between Double A and Triple A 264 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: had approximately a thirty percent strikeout percentage just for frame 265 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 1: of reference there, and we obviously know what Aaron Judge became. 266 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: Thirty six percent. Yeah, it is absolutely way too high. 267 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: Now I've watched him play a little bit. He has 268 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: a very uppercut swing. And the reason why you have 269 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: to compare him to Judge is they're both really tall, 270 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: really tall outfielders. It's kind of a lefty air and 271 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: Judge in that way. And I'm not saying he's going 272 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: to become Aaron Judge. I certainly hope you will, but 273 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: just in terms of the body, right, it's hard to 274 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: be tall as a baseball player, I think, especially if 275 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: you're not a pitcher. But he hits nukes when he 276 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: gets a hold of them. But yeah, he has a 277 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: very uppercut swing. Now, Aaron Judge has just got to 278 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: be like, listen, man, we're gonna go to California. We're 279 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: gonna go see my guy. You're gonna lock You're gonna 280 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: be locked in his hitting cage for four months and 281 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna just work on it. Frankly, I don't know 282 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: what the Yankees are doing. Just hire him at this point, 283 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: just get the whole team there. 284 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 6: Uh. 285 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: But I really think that he's got tools that you 286 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: can work with. I think you can definitely fix a 287 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: lot of that. You can definitely get the strikeout rate, 288 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: you know what for a goal for him, Let's let's 289 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: try to see the strikeout rate at twenty five percent, 290 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: can we make that an achievable goal. It's a big jump, 291 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: I feel like, from thirty six to twenty five, but 292 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: twenty five percent I think would make him a successful 293 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: prospect with a legitimate chance to succeed in the major leagues. 294 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: We've talked about the speed guy is lightning. I really 295 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: would like to see him in center field with Jason 296 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: and left He obviously had that blunder tonight. I think 297 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Jason probably profiles better as a left fielder and Yankees 298 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: ate him rather than a centerfielder. And you put Jones 299 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: in center and then the lefty swing would just be sweet. Right, 300 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: So get him in Aaron Judges guru guy, and just 301 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: fix him and it'll be fine. 302 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 3: He teach your man, Teach your man. Yeah. One of 303 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: the things he did with Aaron Judge between the twenty 304 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 3: sixteen season when he came up and hit like one 305 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 3: seventy over the final two months, and the twenty seventeen 306 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 3: season where he really should have been MVP. He has 307 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 3: fifty two home runs and his career basically changed to that. Yeah, 308 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: was that he got into much more of a crouch 309 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: like if you watch his twenty sixteen at bats. He's 310 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 3: very tall, right, and that's kind of what Spencer Jones is. 311 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 3: If you look at him in the box, he's standing 312 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: straight up and that means you've got an enormous strike zone, right, 313 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: And with as hard as guys throw today, I just 314 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: don't know if it's physically possible to cover that much 315 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: space in that little amount of time. So what he 316 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 3: needs to do is crouch. He needs to get into 317 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: a shorter crouch, eliminate the size of his zone and 318 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: pick out more spots, and I think that will help 319 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 3: him a little bit. So we're gonna have a quick 320 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: word from the Foul Territory squad about tonight's sponsor, Nevage. 321 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 3: This is a contraption that helps you if you've got 322 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 3: lots of nasal congestion. Then we'll be back in about 323 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: sixty seconds to break down the game give away the belt. 324 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: We had a lot of debate about the belt tonight 325 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: and we'll go from there, but stick around. We got 326 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 3: nine hundred and thirty seven in the chat. I want 327 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 3: you guys to subscribe.

All right, 355 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: you know what just happened, TK, I just lost the game. 356 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 3: I just lost the game. Are you familiar with the game? 357 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: With the game? 358 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: All right, So if you don't know the game, I'm 359 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 3: gonna tell you the game, and the audience is gonna 360 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 3: know the game. I'm sure a lot of you play it. 361 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: You are now playing the game, Okay. You can never 362 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,679 Speaker 3: win the game. You can only be winning the game. 363 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 3: Anytime you think of the game, you lose and you 364 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 3: have to tell whoever's in your presence that you just 365 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 3: lost the game and then explain the game if they 366 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 3: don't know what it is. So you're now playing the 367 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 3: game whenever you think about it. Me and my friend 368 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 3: we've been playing this for like twenty five years, so 369 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 3: like every once in a while we'll just have some 370 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 3: kind of a weird thing where we lose and we'll 371 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: tell each other in the creative way. And my friend 372 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 3: he sent me a package that was the remember the 373 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 3: TV show Lost. It was a board game and it 374 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: was called Lost the Game, and so I opened it 375 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: up and it made me lose the game. And I 376 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 3: was just glancing at it during the commercial there, and 377 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 3: I lost the game. So anyway, I love and a 378 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 3: lot of people are pissed off because they play the 379 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 3: game and and they just lost the game. So a 380 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 3: Rothman just lost the game. Remouses haven't lost the game. 381 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 3: And so long, you were doing so well, you were 382 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: doing so well, but guess what, you lost the game. 383 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 3: All right, all right, let's recap this one and then 384 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: we'll give away the belt. 385 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: Here. 386 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: Yankees got on the board in the top of the 387 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 3: second inning. Really fantastic at bat from Jason Dimingez to 388 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 3: eyeball some close pitches and draw a walk. He then 389 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: stole second base, advanced a third on a bad throw, 390 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: and then Rizzo knocked him in with a base it. 391 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 3: You know what, that's how you manufacture runs, baby, and 392 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 3: Domingos continues to have grated bats, and Rizzo actually had 393 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 3: two RBIs. He actually had our RBI double two. Let 394 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 3: me just add that to the notes here. And he 395 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: had some great defense today. So a really good day 396 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 3: for Anthony Rizzo. Bottom half was not so pretty friend 397 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 3: to me. Yes, oh man, this one was a beauty 398 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 3: long flyball to center field and he got under it. 399 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 3: He was camped. I thought he was getting ready to 400 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: catch it, and then the ball lands like ten feet 401 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: behind him. I think he just lost it in the twilight. 402 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 3: I used to play the outfield, and I played the 403 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: outfield for a long time, and look, sometimes when you're 404 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 3: in that twilight zone, twilight zone between like you know, 405 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: daytime and when it gets really dark, somebody hits a 406 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 3: really high flyball just looks like a little gray speck, right, 407 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: especially if it gets above the lights. And it did 408 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 3: have a ninety nine percent catch probability, but that's a 409 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 3: rookie mistake. 410 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 1: I have a couple of things there. First of all, 411 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: I thought it was gone. Off of I thought it 412 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: was gone, and I think probably Martian thought it was 413 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: also gone. But like I said, I've been to that 414 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: ballpark and I had pretty good seats, so I was 415 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: pretty close to the field. Because of the way the 416 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: roof is that it slides over. I swear to God 417 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: that ball went over the roof, lost out of the lights. 418 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 1: I'm serious. The way the roof is set up in 419 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: that park if the park is open, I think it 420 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: kind of kind of messes you up judging the ball 421 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: in the outfield. But yeah, I think just he overran it. 422 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 1: That's it. Rooky mistake chocking up as that. 423 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: Well Actually, the very next batter this didn't get talked about. 424 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: The very next batter popped it up towards first base 425 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: and Austin Wells got it and he couldn't see it. 426 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 3: He couldn't see it above you know. Once he got 427 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 3: above the lights. Anthony Rizzo ended up tracking down made 428 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 3: a catch. Nice job by Nester Cortez to pitch out 429 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 3: of the you know jam with the runner on second base. 430 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 3: It should have never been there. Another great pick by 431 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 3: Rizzo in the bottom of the third to save Jazz 432 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 3: from an error at third base. He was a picking 433 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 3: machine tonight and Jazz has a great arm, but he 434 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 3: has not been very accurate on his throes from third. 435 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 3: Do you think he's gonna stick at thirty? You think 436 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 3: he might stay at second base next year? 437 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: No? I think they moved him in a second I 438 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: think that more natural position. But honestly, hell of an 439 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: athlete to never play third in a professional game, until, 440 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: of course, the New York Yankees. Of course, the New 441 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: York Yankees, they're smarter than everybody. They're gonna put a 442 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: guy at the third who's never played third base. But he's 443 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: made them look pretty good because he's made some sparkler 444 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: plays over there. But yeah, he's a little inaccurate with 445 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: his throws across the diamond. I think he profiles better 446 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 1: as the second baseman, and I like his speed better 447 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field. And then they'll figure 448 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: out third base. I don't know what they'll do at third. 449 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: Maybe as Waldo will play third, maybe Paraza or I 450 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 1: guess it can Orbit play third or somebody like that. 451 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 1: But I think Jazz ends up at second next year. 452 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 3: Apparently Jazz Chisholm is live streaming right now. Let me 453 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 3: let me see. If you're in the. 454 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: Clubhouse, they're like, yeah, they're probably going crazy. He's probably 455 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: got the like nineties cam quarter out right now too, 456 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: Like you see those videos that he was doing. 457 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see it on Twitter. I guess it 458 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 3: might must be on YouTube. But anyway, thank you for 459 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: such I probably shouldn't advertise another stream while I'm live, 460 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: but Nestor was done after six fantastic innings, four hits, allowed, 461 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: three walks, no run, six strikeouts. You know, uh, let's 462 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 3: not leave all in the regular season. Let's save from 463 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: some for the postseason. But really, great job from Nestor Cortez. Tonight, 464 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 3: Tommy Kinley came in, got a couple of outs, Clay 465 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 3: Holmes relieved him and got out of the inning. Umpire 466 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: was squeezing him. I thought he threw you know, five 467 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: or six pitches that were strikes in that bad and a 468 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: few of them got called balls. Umpiring tonight was just 469 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 3: just trash in general. Bottom eight Yankees hadn't had a 470 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 3: blown save in a while. So Clay Holmes did you know, 471 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: you know, took care of that. Served up a solo 472 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 3: home run to Justin Turner, thirteenth blown save of the 473 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: season for Clay Holmes. He is a travesty man. He 474 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 3: cannot be on the postseason roster. He cannot be near 475 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 3: the postseason roster. I don't even want him reading the 476 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 3: postseason roster. I just go home, just leave him in Seattle. 477 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 3: You know, look, I'm just I'm over him. The Orioles 478 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: dfa Kimberl. Yankees should DFA Holmes. He is not reliable. 479 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 3: He's gonna be a free agent. They'll never do it. 480 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: But if I were the GM, I would absolutely leave 481 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 3: him in Seattle. Luke Weaver throw the ball really, really 482 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 3: well in the eighth and ninth. Today, Yankees took the 483 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: lead in the tenth RBI double by Anthony Rizzo could 484 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 3: have been more, but Volte popped out on a bunt 485 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: attempt that would have got the runner over and the 486 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: next batter hit a sackfly, so missed opportunity. There bottom 487 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: ten Ian Hamilton in the game. He gave up the 488 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 3: leadoff single. Jay Rod got to third base, and then 489 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: jay Rod had a near death experience. There was a 490 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: wicked strikeout, bat went flying jay Rod. He gets off 491 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: a third base, he loses track, he loses his mind 492 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 3: for a second. Everybody's screaming at him to get back. 493 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 3: Jazz are screaming for the ball. Wells throws it down 494 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: and nails him at third. Really dumb bas running by 495 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 3: the Mariners in this series, but it worked out. Yankees win, 496 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: and guess what They're headed to the playoffs. 497 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: Time in October of the Bronx singular experience ever experienced it. 498 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 3: We can't hear you over that music. But oh well, 499 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: it's all right. You're you're still a newbie. I do 500 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 3: the summer night, I do the night here. It's all good. 501 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: So we we thought about the belt, you know, we 502 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: we thought, listen, we gotta maybe even reconsider this because 503 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: I had forgotten that Rizzo had that other RBI double. 504 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 3: You know, I'll let you make the final call, man, 505 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 3: but uh, I kind of feel like there's any of 506 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 3: the options that we go with would work. So you 507 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 3: go ahead make the call, and I'll make the adjustment here. 508 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 1: Well, can I can I change to what we have 509 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: already originally agreed to. 510 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, do what you want? 511 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,719 Speaker 1: Unique, all right, So usually the graphic is set up. 512 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: We originally went with Nestor for the belt, and that's 513 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: what we were gonna go with, as Rizzo as an 514 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: honorable mention. But honestly, Rizzo had an enormous impact on 515 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: the game. Obviously the game winning hit, some great scoops 516 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: in the field that really killed some rallies for the Mariners. 517 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: I think he's just as deserving, and I'm kind of 518 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: feeling like we can't really go with col belt. I 519 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: wish there was a way you could pull it where 520 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: you could let the let the fans vote, because there. 521 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 3: Is there is. We we used to do that all 522 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 3: the time. But yeah, I saw I stopped. I just 523 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 3: don't have the bandwidth to during the game, and sometimes 524 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 3: it changes so late, and sometimes it's a late decision 525 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 3: right now, so screw it, We're going Rizzo. 526 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. We're going on the chat, felt Rizzo, 527 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: and I could I could feel him. I could feel him, Yeah, 528 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: but never very close. Second. 529 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 3: Well's got some love too for that throwdown to third base. 530 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 3: Luke Weaver was a real candidate with his pitching. 531 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: But sorry, I just saw Richard give the belt to Homes. 532 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, give him whatever. The opposite of the belt 533 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: is give him the belt like you know, hitting him 534 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 3: on the hand. So yeah, that's that. We should break 535 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 3: that out next year, just have it be like a 536 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 3: like a yeah, yeah, I'm sure we could have AI 537 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 3: come up with some fun images for that one. Lou 538 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: Godbar says, no Stra Derek predicted six K's tonight, so 539 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 3: that is a hit. So Nostra Derek with the prediction again, 540 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 3: So thank you guys for watching. I hope, I hope 541 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: you won millions of dollars with that bet. I was 542 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 3: actually FRANCESSA. His prediction was five, and I was like, 543 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 3: I think he'll do better than That's why I chose six. 544 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh, Francesco is a hack. 545 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: Oh, I love FRANCESSA. Don't don't be shitting on my man, 546 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 3: francess If fuck you. 547 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: All right, I'm a K show guy. But yeah, they 548 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: had a little beef back in the day. But it's fine, all. 549 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 3: Right, all right, ladies and gentlemen. Yankees are headed to 550 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 3: the playoffs. We're gonna wrap it up here one eighteen 551 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: on a Thursday, and the Yankees now lead the American 552 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 3: League East by five games. Orioles have really flushed it 553 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 3: down the toilet over the last uh, you know, a 554 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 3: couple of months here. But TK any final thoughts here 555 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 3: as we approach the postseason, now ten games left. 556 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: How about for the Anti Belt the sun gets sent 557 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: to the sun? 558 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, get launched into the sun. 559 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, get launched into the sun. And then you could 560 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: do like a song with that. I'm sure there's something 561 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 1: that would go well with it or something, but yeah, 562 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: see him. 563 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: Says, give him the boot, not the belt. 564 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: I like it, and I like it exactly. 565 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,239 Speaker 3: Uh and five fo says we were closer next year. 566 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 3: We were talking about that in the green room. We 567 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: got it. You gotta do it. He's already under contract. 568 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 3: He's uh, he's pretty much their best relief pitcher at 569 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 3: this point. He's making a name for himself here down 570 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 3: the stretch. I think he's gonna have some big postseason moments. 571 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 3: He's got that moxy that you like. 572 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, Derek and I were talking about I say, he's 573 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: got the cubes for it. He's got the cubes. The closer. 574 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: He's a psycho on the mound, that's what you want 575 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: to see. He's like screaming and all that after he 576 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: gets a big strikeout. And we were staying in the 577 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: green room. I'm really digging this Hamilton Weaver back end 578 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,479 Speaker 1: of the bullpen kind of thing they got going on. 579 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: And it's funny how they kind of became strikeout guys 580 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: as the season's going on. It almost feels like they're 581 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: throwing harder towards the end of the season, right like 582 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: ninety eight, ninety seven. Yeah, definitely gotta go with Weaver. 583 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna pick up his two and a half million 584 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: dollar club option, and he's gonna be the closer next year, 585 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: and Hamilton might be the eighth inning guy. And that's 586 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: probably the direction I go. 587 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: Yeah.
