1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: All right, that's it to feel you to talk, that's all.

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday, September tenth, and it was game two

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: of a three game set between the Yankees and the

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City Royals. Marcus Stroman was on the mound, Jason

5
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Dominguez was back in the lineup, and the Yankees were

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: trying to win the series. My recap, your reactions coming

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. Welcome who We've got

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: Neil Yaw Sick Territory. Just when they pull me back,

9
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody. Extremely tough night for the Yankees. I

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: think the only solution at this point is to shut

11
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: down Paw Patrol. We've got to get Paw Patrol off

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: the air. We've got to delete all episodes of that

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: of that Aaron Judge episode from existence. My cat just

14
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: jumped up. My cat wants to be on the show.

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: What's up Cat? So she's apparently unhappy with the Yankees

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: offense tonight, as I'm sure most of you are. Sorry

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: for all the squeaky chair noises here, but hey, before

18
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: we get started, thank you for sixteen million views on

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: this channel, where over three million views already this season alone.

20
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: So thanks for making this great community. Awful no good,

21
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: very very bad day for the Yankees offense. Three hits,

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: no runs, no life from the crowd at all. They

23
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: had nothing to cheer for. I don't blame them. Occasionally

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: you would get the yes shots where they kind of

25
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: panned the crowd. Saw a lot of people on their phones,

26
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: saw a couple people with sleep, saw a lot of

27
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: people just scarfing hot dogs and soda. So they had

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: something to do. Because there was not much of a

29
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: baseball game to be excited about. They could do absolutely

30
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: nothing with Seth Lugo. He was mixing matching that you

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: got to give him credit. You gotta give him credit.

32
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: He pitched great tonight. He was working quickly. He was

33
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, in with cutters, away with change ups. He

34
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: was doing that scissor effect that David Cone likes to

35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: talk about, and it was very effective. And the Yankees

36
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: couldn't take pitches because he was dropping in strike one,

37
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: strike two, and you just you know, you look up

38
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: in the fifth inning and they got like one hit.

39
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: He's shut down, like you know, fifteen guys in a row,

40
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: and every at bat is a week ground out week

41
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: fly ball. So we've got to get We got to

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: get something going here offensively. You know, we really need

43
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: Judge to start hitting again. We got to delete that

44
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: episode of Paul Patrol from the internet. Let's talk a

45
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: little bit about Marcus Stroman not only auditioning for a

46
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: spot in the playoff rotation, but possibly auditioning for a

47
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: spot on the playoff roster. You remember, you only need

48
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: five starting pitchers now. Sometimes starting pitchers will come out

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: of the bullpen in the playoffs, and I don't think

50
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: he helped his case that much tonight. We talk all

51
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: the time about you know, the Yankees struggle with runners

52
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: in scoring position. When they get a guy to second base,

53
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: they have trouble bringing him in. Well, when the opposition

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: gets guys to second base against Stroman, they almost always

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: capitalize in those situations. It's just like Clay Holmes. He

56
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: pitches to contact, so he's got the same problem where

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: ground balls can just sneak through. Right. We had the

58
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: hit from Salvador Perez again tonight. That was hit hard,

59
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: but again just ground balls with eyes to bring in

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: runs because there's guys on base. So tough night for

61
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman. He continues to, you know, pitch so so

62
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I call him so so Stroman. But Orioles winning tonight,

63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: so the Yankees in a position to drop a game

64
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: in the standing. Talk a little bit about the drama today.

65
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: You may have come across the recent debate between John

66
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: Boy and Aaron Boone regarding Labor Torres, specifically the question

67
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: of whether or not he was the worst second basement

68
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: in the league. Now, I will say he got two

69
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: hits tonight, So John Boy argued that by the numbers,

70
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 1: labor ranks as the worst second basement. He was citing

71
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: total errors and poor plays, which is a metric tracked

72
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: by Inside Edge, a data company. I felt compelled to

73
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: weigh in on this because I feel like they're just

74
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: talking past each other. You know. The immediate reaction was

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: that Boone was just defending his player, which to an

76
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: extent is probably true. But it also reminded me of

77
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: this old baseball adage, You've got to be pretty good

78
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: to lose twenty games. You've got to be a pretty

79
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: good player offensively for them to let you make seventeen

80
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: errors in the field. Now, labora Torres has not had

81
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: his best offensive season, but he's been good out of

82
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: the leadoffs. Recently, and when you rank him among second

83
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: basement in the league, you could do a lot worse,

84
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, offensively, So I think that you know, Boone

85
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: was kind of looking at the whole player, and John

86
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: Boy was basically focusing on the defense. So you know,

87
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,679
Speaker 1: when Boone claims that Labor Torres isn't the worst second

88
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: basement and it's not close, he's making a more nuanced point.

89
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: Torres gets more opportunities than some guys who can't hit right,

90
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: who wouldn't be as good defensively, can't hit, and so

91
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: they're on the bench. If you're talking about starting second basement,

92
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: I think you could precisely you can make a more

93
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: precise statement, which is that defensively and statistically, Labor Torres

94
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,119
Speaker 1: is among the worst second basement in baseball. His offense, though,

95
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: is not the worst. It's not great, but it's not

96
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: the worst. So I think Boone was thinking more about

97
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: the whole player than you know, John Boy was focused

98
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: more on the defensive. So I just think they were

99
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: talking past each other. But a nice play by Labor

100
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: Torres in the ninth inning today, and he also had

101
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: a multi hit game, so you know, maybe silencing the

102
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: haters for tonight anyway, but all for nought because the

103
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: Yankees didn't help him out very much. So yesterday, with

104
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: all the hoopla surrounding the arrival of Jason dominguezho's off

105
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: to a slow start. I think he's having good at bats,

106
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: but hadn't done much yet. But he's a rookie. I mean,

107
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: he's twenty one year old. Kid's been a year since

108
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: he's played regularly in the major leagues faced major league pitching.

109
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: I give him a couple of weeks. Let's see how

110
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: he looks before we make any assessments, but I think

111
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: he'll be fine. Did make a nice throw today to

112
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: throw out a runner at second. But anyway, among that

113
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: and Eric Kratz being on and me just engaging in

114
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: conversation with him, we didn't really get into DJ Lemayhew

115
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: going on the injury list with that hip impingement, and

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: he's almost certainly done for the season. But I think

117
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: that there's a distinct possibility that we've we've seen the

118
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: last of him as a Yankee. Now he's got two

119
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: years at fifteen million dollars each year remaining, so there's

120
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: thirty million left to pay. But there's a non zero

121
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: chance that the Yankees just eat that money and DFA.

122
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll see him in spring training next year

123
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: try and make the team. But if he's continuing to

124
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: have injury problems, if he's continuing to hit the ball

125
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: on the ground, I don't know how you can carry

126
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: that player. You know, it's just going to continue to spiral.

127
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: We've seen them eat money in recent years, Aaron Hicks,

128
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: Jacoby Elsberry, Josh Donaldson. Thirty would be more than they

129
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: paid any of those guys to go away, but it

130
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it won't happen. His first contract with the

131
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Yankees slam dunk, I mean, just a grand slam, unbelievable hit.

132
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: But his second contract has been a complete disaster. And

133
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: when we evaluate Cashman's legacy years from now, it's important

134
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: to consider both of those contracts, right, just like it's

135
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: important to consider bringing in a Rod and then the

136
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: a Rod extension. Although it was pretty much was Hank

137
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: Steinbrenner who stepped into the A Rod thing. So I'm

138
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: sure Brian Cashman will make that clear in his post

139
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: retirement interviews and all that stuff. All right, quick word

140
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: from our sponsor tonight, and then we'll recap this game,

141
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: in which the offense was pretty pathetic. Pop quiz. What

142
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: is America's number one meal kit? Well, that would be

143
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: Hello Fresh. And it even works for picky eaters like me.

144
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: There's an ever changing menu of fifty recipes to choose from.

145
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: Every week, I just select my meals and my delivery date,

146
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: and voila home cooked meals that just hit different listen.

147
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: I cover a lot of podcasts, including this one, which

148
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: means I spend a lot of time in the studio.

149
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't have time to search recipes all night or

150
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: spend money on a whole jar of spices for just

151
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: one meal. That's why I prefer Hello Fresh, because my

152
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: wife gets to spend more time with me. We even

153
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: get to make meals together and avoid those last minute

154
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: trips to the grocery store. Dinner is ready when we

155
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,079

160
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: All right, let's go let's get it going well. The

161
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Yankees were out hit eleven to three tonight. They did

162
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: not score any runs. As you can see, Royals jumped

163
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: out front in the third inning. Nice throw by Dominges

164
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier to nail salvi Perez going to

165
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: second base on a potential double. It was a very

166
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: accurate throw. He came up. He didn't even consider going

167
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: home to try and get Bobby Witt, who has scored

168
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: from first two days in a row. I'm so impressed

169
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: by wit speed. That guy can absolutely fly. They said

170
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: he was over thirty feet per second today, so unbelievable.

171
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: Now hitting three point thirty four in Judge with his

172
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: slump is down to three twenty, so still a fourteen

173
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: point difference between them, preventing Aaron Judge from possibly getting

174
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: the Triple crown. Yanks got two hits from Torrez tonight,

175
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: one hit from Austin Wells. That was it for the offense.

176
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: You know I'd mentioned Seth Lugo. He was working fast.

177
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: He was preventing the Yankees from getting comfortable in the box, right.

178
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just working so quick. He would

179
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: get the ball, he'd get right back on the rubber

180
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: and throw it. And the Yankees were letting him do it.

181
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: They weren't stepping out, they weren't forcing him to, you know,

182
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: use the clock a little bit slower, soft ground balls,

183
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: weak fly balls. He retired seventeen in a row. At

184
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: one point, seventeen in a row. Salvi Peretz has made

185
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: it three to nothing with another hit. Uh seemed like

186
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: about his tenth hit in the series. The guy just

187
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: on fire. And the seventh inning, Tommy fam took Mark

188
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: Lighter Junior deep for a solo shot, and as soon

189
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: as the ball landed, Aiden texted me and said, man,

190
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm really disappointed me too, Aiden, Same dude, Same dude.

191
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: Yankees lose five nothing. You good day, sir. You ate

192
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: first your last referee five eight three says how much

193
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: longer do we have Stroman? Anyone know? Well, we're He

194
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: signed a two year deal, so he signed through next season.

195
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: I like the deal. I think he's been a very

196
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: serviceable pitcher. You know, he's posted. I don't have his

197
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: stat sheet updated, so I'll just put up his MLB

198
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: dot Com numbers and we'll take a look at Stroman. Here.

199
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: He has made twenty eight starts. He's ten and eight

200
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: with a four point seven e RA. I don't know

201
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: if that loss has counted from tonight yet. I'm not

202
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: sure if it's up to date yet, but I think

203
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: it is one hundred and forty eight and a third innings,

204
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and nine strikeouts. It's crazy how few innings

205
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: these pitchers throw these days. I remember back in the nineties, man,

206
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: it was every pitcher was trying to get to two

207
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: hundred innings. You just don't see it anymore. But Stroman,

208
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: at age thirty three, is still hanging in there as

209
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: a serviceable pitcher. I mean, he looked decent at times

210
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: this year. He's had stretches where he has been very good.

211
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: But he's only made nine quality starts out of his

212
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: twenty eight start, so less than a third of his

213
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: starts this season have been quality, and quality start is

214
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: defined as six innings, three runs or less. So one

215
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: more year for Marcus Stroman. Look, we just got out

216
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Duel tonight. Seth Lugo looked fantastic. I don't have his

217
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: game score, but it has to be it has to

218
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: be really really high. If somebody can pull up his

219
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: game score, i'd be interested to know that. But he threw.

220
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: Let's see how many pitches he threw one hundred and

221
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: five pitches, seventy seven strikes, and Lugo went seven innings,

222
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: three hits, no runs, no walks, ten strikeouts. He's got

223
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: a two point nine to four ERA on the season,

224
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: and Kay talked about it on the broadcast. This was

225
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: a guy who never really been a starting pitcher. He

226
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: wanted to start. He's been a reliever throughout his career.

227
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: You go back and look at his career numbers. Never

228
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: made a lot of starts. I mean, he made eighteen

229
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 1: starts with the Mets in twenty seventeen. Then he went

230
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: to the bullpen. You know, he was kind of a

231
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: swingman in eighteen. In twenty he made seven starts. But

232
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: then in twenty one and twenty two he was a

233
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: relief pitcher and he finally wanted to, you know, join

234
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: a rotation. He pitched for the Padres as a starter

235
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: last year, win eight and seven with a three point

236
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: five to seven. So Casey gives him a deal and

237
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: he has been fantastic now sixteen to eight with a

238
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: two point nine to four ERA and one hundred and

239
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: ninety three innings. So he is going to top the

240
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: two hundred inning mark this year. So hey, look, sometimes

241
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: you get and sometimes you get got and tonight the

242
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: Yankees got got. So on nights like tonight, I kind

243
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: of like to take a little bit of a scroll

244
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: through the Baseball Savant and just see how guys are looking.

245
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: So send me in the chat. Who you guys want

246
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: to talk about this year? Like you know, Baseball Savant wise,

247
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up Glaber Torres and we're gonna take

248
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: a look at him because he was the talk of

249
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: the day. So we'll start with Labor. Take a look

250
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: at his Baseball Savant. You see the batting run values

251
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: just below league average. Obviously, the base running and fielding

252
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: value both low. He does have a lot of hits

253
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty hits this year, and he hits

254
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: the ball on the sweet spot. He doesn't chase very often,

255
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: which is why he's been great out of the leadoff spot.

256
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: His walk percentages in the top quarter of the league.

257
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: But he just hasn't driven the ball like he has

258
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: in years past. You see twenty four home runs in

259
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty five home runs in twenty three, also

260
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: stole thirteen bases last year. Has not stolen as many

261
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: even close to as many this year, hasn't been on

262
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: base as much. His average is down twenty one points,

263
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: the on base percentage is down about eighteen points. You know,

264
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: he's just not had a great season. Let's take a

265
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: look at John Carlos Stanton and I want to throw

266
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: this at you. You know, as we consider what the

267
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Yankees do in this offseason, has Stanton done enough to

268
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: increase his trade value if he were willing to accept

269
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: a deal now, He's been slumping a little bit lately.

270
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: He's been robbed of some hits. He got robbed of

271
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: a home run in Texas. But he is hitting two

272
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: thirty four on the season. He has got twenty five

273
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: home runs, he has eighty seven hits. He's had four

274
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred plate appearances, which is something that we haven't seen

275
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: from from him in a while. Let's look at the

276
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: running speed. He's in the third percentile. How in the

277
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: hell are two percent of runners slower than him? I

278
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: know mannequins that are faster than John Carlos Stanton. Anyway,

279
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: bat speed, barrel percentage, all really high, average exit velocity.

280
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm surprised he's in the ninety ninth percentile, because he's

281
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: always been in the one hundredth percentile, and this is

282
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: the first time I've ever looked at it, and he's

283
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: been in the ninety ninth interesting, So it'd be interesting

284
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: to see if he's done enough to earn a trade

285
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: interest from someone else. Robert Ryan says, stands last five games,

286
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: no hit, seven strikeouts, two walks. Certainly not what you want,

287
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: all right, So let's take a look at Garrett Cole

288
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: because he's been rounding into form. His last couple of

289
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: outings have been much better. Pitching run value now creeping

290
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: well above average sixty fifth percentile. You see the breaking

291
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: ball run value is in the ninety fourth percentile. I

292
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: noticed he's been throwing that curveball, that twelve six curveball

293
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: a lot this year, eighteen percent of the time. And

294
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: as noted on the previous broadcast, he's throwing it slower.

295
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: He's throwing it eighty three miles an hour right now

296
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: on average. And that came from Mike Mussina. And if

297
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: you watched my Messina, you knew he was the master

298
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: of the curveball. Got him to the Hall of Fame.

299
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: So if Garrett Cole later in his career has to

300
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: adjust to throwing more breaking balls. At least we know

301
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: he's got a good one and he's able to learn

302
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: from one of the best in Mike Messina. But you

303
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: see the strikeout percentage creeping back up, the fastball v

304
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: low creeping back up. You know, the chase percentage is

305
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: not what you want, but it has gone up in

306
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: recent outings. It was much lower, so he's obviously rounding

307
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: into form. He's now thrown essentially a half a season

308
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: and he's got a three point three six ERA, and

309
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: you see last year two point six to three, so

310
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: it's gone up. That's going to continue to happen. He's

311
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: thirty four years old now, and obviously you know your

312
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: skills diminish as you get older, So you know that's

313
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: where we're at right now, ladies and gentlemen. Tough night

314
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: for the Yankees. Let's get to the final thoughts here.

315
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up a little bit early. That ball

316
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: is hot. That is the boy, Wonder says, who is

317
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: pitching tomorrow? So I believe it could be Nester Cortes.

318
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: Let me just double check, let me double check, No,

319
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: louis heel tomorrow? Yeah, And then probably Nester the next day.

320
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah so, or they might go Clark Schmid the next

321
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: day and then Nestor the day after that. But uh,

322
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: louis heel on the mound tomorrow. He has got a

323
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: thirteen and six record three point twenty four era, so

324
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: throwing the ball pretty good in his rookie year. Call

325
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: into the voicemail show seven eight, nine, nine, ten sixty eight.

326
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna do a voicemail show tomorrow, crack a dawn,

327
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,880
