1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: He wanted to pull sketch ale. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's get it going, all right, 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Happy Labor Day. And we are approaching 4 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: the biggest portion of the twenty twenty five New York 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: Yankees schedule. Yesterday on the show, I thought TK put 6 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: it nice and succinctly. He said that the next twelve 7 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: games are the season, and essentially I think he's correct. 8 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 3: The Yankees are not in. 9 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: A great position at three games out, but it could 10 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 2: be a lot worse. They could be seven or eight, 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: you know, given how they played most of the summer. 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: But if they were at that point, there'd be little 13 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: to no hope whatsoever at winning the division. But right now, 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: you know, if you play well, you got a real 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 2: shot at winning the American League East. The fact that 16 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: they are only three games out adds just enough of 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: a chance that there could be some real drama this 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: month if the Yankees managed to play decent baseball for 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: a change. Is no secret that they are at their 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: best when they're hitting home runs. I do not count 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: on them trying to learn how to play baseball over 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: the next twenty four hours. I think that they're going 23 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: into this twelve game stretch, saying let's hit twenty to 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: thirty home runs in these next twelve games. I guess 25 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: we'll find out soon if that's a great strategy or not. 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: I don't think it's a great strategy, but you know, 27 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: we look at the state of the team here on 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,639 Speaker 2: September first ops leaders. You got Judge at one point 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: one one seven. He tops the team Stanton and they're 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: at nine nine to nine, Bellinger eight thirty seven, Grisham 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: eight thirty two, Chisholm eight twenty five, and Rice eight 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: twenty seven. That's everybody who's over eight hundred, and really, 33 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: you got to have all those guys in the lineup 34 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: every day over the stretch if you can, and that 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: means you're gonna lose some time for Dominges probably, but 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 2: it is what it is. Home run leaders Judge forty three, 37 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 2: and then you got really three guys who have a 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 2: really good chance of getting to thirty Grisham, Chisholm, and Bellinger. 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: Grisham is twenty eight, Chisham is twenty six, Bellinger has 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: twenty six, and then Rice has twenty two. He'll probably 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: get to twenty five plus maybe twenty seven. Don't think 42 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 2: he's gonna get to thirty unless he has a huge month. 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: He would need eight obviously, and the season is over 44 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: on September twenty eighth. Rotation has been relatively strong recently, 45 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 2: Freid pitching much better after a Midsummer slump. He's got 46 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 2: a three point zero six ERA. Rodin three point one eight. 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: Heal three point six eight since coming back. Cam Schlitzler, 48 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: who I'll spotlight in just a little bit, is at 49 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: two point six one and will Warrant at four point 50 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 2: three zero. Overall, they have a three point nine to 51 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: two team ERA. They are seventy six and sixty one, 52 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: second place in the American League East. They have scored 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: seven hundred and nineteen runs and allowed five hundred and 54 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 2: eighty five runs so far. I think Judge is definitely 55 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 2: heating up. We'll talk more about that in just a second. 56 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: That's a good sign. Toronto has shown though that they'll 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: just walk them for an entire series if it comes 58 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: down to it, right, So it's important for the guys 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: around him to get on base, to get hits, to 60 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: do some damage. If there's gonna be runners on first 61 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 2: and second for Judge, it's gonna be really really difficult 62 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: to walk him. You know, you got either Bellinger or 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: John Carlow protecting Judge right you got Grisham or Ben 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: Rice ahead of him, and those guys you know they'll 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 2: take their walks and if you throw it over the plate, 66 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: they got a good chance to do some damage. So 67 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: I like the way the top of the lineup is 68 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: swinging the bat right now. Everybody seems mostly healthy. Judge 69 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: is the least healthy of the bunch, but he's on 70 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: his way back home runs in back to back games. 71 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Ben Rice, I like him in the number two spot 72 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 2: right now. Hitting ahead of Judge. You gotta give him 73 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: pitches to hit, and over the last month he has 74 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: really stepped it up, hitting two seventy two with seven 75 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: home runs in the past thirty games. John Carlos Stanton 76 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: got robbed of home run number eighteen yesterday. That would 77 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: have made it a very different game. But he's also 78 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: hitting two ninety four. Only two Yankees regulars hitting over 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: to eighty at the moment. Judge is hitting three twenty four. 80 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: Stand at two ninety four. You know we need Jazz 81 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: to get hot again. When he's hitting, it changes the 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 2: entire lineup because you know, if he's hitting singles, he 83 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: might as well be hitting doubles. He's gonna take second, 84 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: he might even take third. And when he's hitting homers, 85 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: he tends to hit them in bunches. So if we 86 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: get him swinging the bat better, uh, he can go 87 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: a long way towards the Yankees doing some damage here 88 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: down the stretch. And you know he's trying to get 89 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: to thirty thirty, so he's motivated. 90 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 3: Right. 91 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 2: That will change his payday significantly if he gets to 92 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: thirty thirty. Mary Beth says that the stats are just 93 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 2: the stats. The team needs to play with heart and 94 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: emotion one hundred percent, right. 95 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: It's all right there in front of us. 96 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 2: We've seen Volpi kind of get going a little bit 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: against the White Sox. Now maybe that was just the 98 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: White Sox pitching. But he's my pick to come up 99 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: big in the Astro Series. I think he's starting to 100 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: put it together a little bit, and when he hits 101 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: home runs, he definitely hits him in bunches, and I 102 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: think there's a few more home runs in there. Again, 103 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: he's not a guy who's gonna hit three hundred this year. 104 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: He's in two ten right now. So it was Austin Wells. 105 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: At this point, don't try and be Wade Bobs or 106 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: Tony gwyn Right, it's not gonna happen. Just try and 107 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: do as much damage as you can. This whole season, 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: we've been fed the line it's right in front of us. Well, 109 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: today is the last day that it is right in 110 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: front of us. Starting tomorrow is not in front of 111 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: you anymore. 112 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 3: It's here. 113 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: These next twelve games are what separates the men from 114 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: the boys. September Baseball against Houston, Toronto, Boston and Detroit contenders. 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: This is where they're going to find out who they 116 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: really are. If you're the Yankees, this is when all 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: those little cliches get exposed. 118 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: Right. 119 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: All to talk about passing the baton and putting the 120 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: ball in play and playing the game the right way. 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: You're either gonna do it or not. 122 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: You know, sounds great at the press conference, But just 123 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: show me that you can move runners, that you can 124 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: get runners in. If you got to hit home runs 125 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: to win, then you better hit home runs. But I 126 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: don't want to see them getting three hits in a 127 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 2: game and losing five to one or eight to one, right, 128 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: I want to see them be competitive over these next 129 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 2: twelve games. And this team has the talent. You know, 130 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: you got Judge rounding back into MVP forum. Stanton is 131 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: crushing the baseball Ballinger looks good. Rice and Grisham have 132 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: been stepping up. We got some guys that are showing 133 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: some really positive signs going into this gauntlet. And if 134 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: you want to call yourself a contender, you know you 135 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: want to say the division is still possible, fine, prove it. 136 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: Prove it, because after today, there's no more right there 137 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: in front of us speeches. We're looking ahead at the 138 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: toughest two weeks of the season, so buckle up. But 139 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: we have had a lot of negativity this year. I 140 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: thought it would be good to take a look at 141 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 2: some of the positives. Aaron Judge last five games, three 142 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: eighty nine average, three home runs, eight runs scored. Trent 143 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: Grisham last ten games has five home runs, got nine RBIs, 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: eight runs scored. Chisholm has a real chance to get 145 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 2: to thirty thirty. He's got twenty six home runs, he's 146 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: got twenty five stolen bases, He's got four home runs 147 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: in the last ten games. So maybe heating up a 148 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: little bit and Stanton has been completely nuclear. Just fifty 149 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: five games played, he's got I have been two ninetynine, 150 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: he's actually two ninety four with a nine to ninety 151 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 2: nine OPS and seventeen home runs forty six ribies. 152 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 3: Just killing the baseball. 153 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 2: Yankees have won fourteen out of their last nineteen games. 154 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 2: They closed out off the August really well. Despite that 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: loss in the final game, you know, they played really well. 156 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: And Trent Grisham has quietly emerged as an elite fastball hitter. 157 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: His stat cast run value against four seamers is plus sixteen. 158 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: That matches judge. He's got twenty eight home runs, got 159 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: eight thirty three ops. He's having a career year, probably 160 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: gonna get to thirty home runs, might get there by 161 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: the end of the week. And he's one of these 162 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: slow heartbeat guys, right, I mean, you can tell by 163 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: the way he plays center field, not a moment stress. 164 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: So he is a pick to come up big in 165 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: these clutch situations, and he's had some big clutch hits 166 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: this year, right, and Jazz, he gets to thirty thirty, 167 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 2: you gotta wonder will the Yankees handout and extension. 168 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: Would he even sign an extension? Or would he want a. 169 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: Test free agency and maybe get more. But there's no 170 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: question that offensively he has had a really good year, 171 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: especially after that tough start. He's had a couple of 172 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: little slumps, but he's had a very valuable year. And 173 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: then you know, John Carlos stand with seventeen home runs 174 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: in one hundred and seventy three at bats. That's a 175 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: home run basically every ten of bats, okay, and he's 176 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: as clutch as it gets. So let's say over these 177 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: next twelve games, you get to play him in ten 178 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: of them. You know, you really start to ease him 179 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: back in there, and maybe Judge plays the outfield a 180 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 2: little bit and that allows you to put Stanton into 181 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: the DH spot and really get him in there. Against 182 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 2: Houston and Toronto and so forth. You gotta figure he's 183 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: gonna come up big a few times. But right now 184 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: we're looking at some exciting baseball over the next couple 185 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: of weeks. Let's talk a little bit about Cam Schlitzler, 186 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: who I think is a future ace. I cannot get 187 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 2: enough of watching this guy every year. There are different 188 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: things that stand out, all right, no matter how the 189 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 2: season stands out or it turns out. Different things stand out, 190 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna remember this as the year Cam Schlitler emerged. 191 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: It's no guarantee that he's going to be a stud. 192 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: It's no guarantee that he's gonna have a long, healthy career. 193 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 2: Injuries happened, players regress, and so forth. But when evaluating 194 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 2: a pitcher, I look at the raw stuff, obviously, but 195 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: I also look at the makeup, the body language on 196 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: the mound, how hitters react, how the pitcher reacts in 197 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: tough situations, and you know, how they make adjustments. You know, 198 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: do they learn to pitch at the big league level? 199 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: And so far he has been tremendous two and two record, 200 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: two point six to one er, nine games started, forty 201 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: eight and a third innings, fifty four strikeouts, twenty walks, 202 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: six home runs allowed, though the walks are probably too 203 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: high for forty eight innings pitch, but he struggled with 204 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: command early on. Opponents hitting just two twenty six against 205 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: him is ground out to air out ratio zero point 206 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: seven to seven. That's good one point two four whip. 207 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: So that continues to fall with each successive fantastic outing. 208 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: You know, look at the fastball run value it's in 209 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 2: the top quarter of the league. The v lows over 210 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: ninety seven miles an hour. It's in the top five 211 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: percent of the league. I mean, he's he's league average 212 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 2: and a few things like hard hit percentage, ground ball percentage. 213 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: The one thing that surprised me he's actually below average 214 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: in extension, which being a six foot six guy, you 215 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 2: would figure that his extension would be elite. 216 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 3: But it's not. 217 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 2: And I don't know what that tells me. You know, 218 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 2: is there room to get him even more velocity and 219 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: make it even more difficult on hitters by getting his 220 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: extension a little bit higher, you know? Or does he 221 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: even need it? 222 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 3: Right? You know, David Robertson was a guy who had 223 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: a ton. 224 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: He was a short guy, but his stride was so 225 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 2: long that it made him release the ball like close 226 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: to the home plate, and that gave him a little 227 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 2: bit of extra life on his fastball, right, give hitters 228 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of extra a little less. 229 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: Time to react. You look at the breaking stuff. 230 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: So he throws the four seamer, but he's also got 231 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: a cutter, a curve, a sinker, and a sweeper. The 232 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: curve has more break than pretty much any other curveball. 233 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: I mean it's look how you can see the vertical 234 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: break here is fantastic. And for a guy who's so tall, 235 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: you know, it's basically a nose to toes curveball, right. 236 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 3: I mean, excellent stuff. 237 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: Love the makeup, love the attitude on the mound, like 238 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 2: that he's going deeper into games. To me, I think 239 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 2: he's a future ace. The stuff is electric, one hundred 240 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: mile an hour fastball and never seems like he's scared 241 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 2: out there. So I'm looking forward to seeing what he 242 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: does in some of these big starts here down the stretch. 243 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna find out what kind of pitcher he is.

Loris ceesays, I think we go six 274 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: and six. Here's chain, Hey, Derek, change. 275 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: I just wanted to get my prediction in for the 276 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: next twelve games. 277 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 5: The Yanks will go four and eight. Talk to you later, 278 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 5: my friend. 279 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 3: I hope they do better than that. 280 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: Here's another one, Hey Derek, Well, the next twelve games 281 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: is basically our season. So I have a question. Do 282 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: you see the Yankees winning more than seven games in 283 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: the next twelve Do you think we could take three 284 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: series from Astros, Blue Jays, Rest Sox and Detroit? What 285 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: do you think? 286 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: My prediction for the next twelve games is not an 287 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: exciting one. It's not gonna get you amped up. And 288 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong. I'm gonna say six and six. 289 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: I think they play five hundred ball and then I 290 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: think they're still facing probably a three game, maybe a 291 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: four game or two game deficit in the East with 292 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: you know, the final thirteen games on the schedule. But 293 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: the good news is they should be able to really 294 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 2: clean up during those final games. Baltimore's not good. We 295 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: own Minnesota. We just saw what the Yankees did against 296 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: the White Sox, and we'll be at home this time, 297 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: and you know, we got six games against Baltimore, so 298 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 2: it would be nice to be within striking distance or 299 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: leading heading into that stretch. And then, you know, presuming 300 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: you make the playoffs, which I think the Yankees will, 301 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: you get a couple of days off and then you 302 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: got to play against a real team after playing nothing 303 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: but shit teams for a couple of weeks, right, and 304 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 2: having to win. 305 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 3: Not gonna be easy. 306 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, Hi, Derek, stay call him Fromain. How do the 307 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 5: Yankees let kind of Phileleppa go to the Blue Jays? 308 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 5: The papers incorrectly reported that the Blue Jays had priority 309 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 5: because of the one loss record, but that said correct. 310 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 5: The Yankees had first crack at him years ago. The 311 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 5: Yankees even picked up Hoosekenseko. Well, they weren't even going 312 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 5: to use him just to keep him away from the 313 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 5: Red Sox. They should have gotten Drad They should have 314 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 5: obtained kind of Philippa just to keep them away from 315 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: the Blue Jays. 316 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 3: Not all right, I'm sappy there. 317 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: If the Yankees got kind of Phileppa, they would have 318 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: had to get rid of somebody from the roster, and 319 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 2: I don't think that they want to do that. I 320 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: think they like who they have on their forty man 321 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: roster right now and today being September, first, you can 322 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: add a couple of players. They added j c Escara 323 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: back to the roster and they welcome back to Ryan Yarborough, 324 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: who through the ball really really well for the Yankees. 325 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: As a starter, He's going to be going to the bullpen. 326 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: I like that because he can eat up innings. He's 327 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: one of those guys you can bring in in a 328 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 2: tie game, you can bring in with a lead, you 329 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: can bring in as like a guy to mop up 330 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: for a while because he can throw multiple innings. 331 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 3: But I really like Ryan Yarborough. 332 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: And if you need somebody to make a spot start, 333 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: he's already proven he can be effective in that role. 334 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: Final voicemail the day. 335 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,479 Speaker 1: Hey Derek, great show and too bad the Yankee streak 336 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: came to an end.
