1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: All right. It is Wednesday, September seventeenth, and the Yankees 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: were finishing off their three game set with the Twins. 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham providing the power once again. Luis Hugh was 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: on the mound. My recap and your reactions coming up next. 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: This is Pinstripe Territory Shoom to talk at roll. Hey, 6 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: all right, how's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back, 7 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: Thank you for spending your Wednesday evening or perhaps your 8 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: Thursday morning with Pinstripe Territory. Good series for the Yankees, 9 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: they take two out of three. We had Cabe arrowback 10 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: at shortstop today, one day after Volpi picked up a 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: two hit game. Didn't do much, but that was an 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: interesting way to kick off the day. Unbelievable day for 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham, whose amazing season continues. Two home runs for 14 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: Ribby's for Trent Grisham and climbing up the belt standings. 15 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: Domingues had a good night double and a stolen base, 16 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: also got hit by a pitch. Continues to capitalize on 17 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: his playing opportunities. Jazz had a good day in the field. 18 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: Luis Heel not particularly good tonight. Command continues to be 19 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: a huge problem. He had two walks, but he was 20 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: kind of wild within the strike zone. You take a 21 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: look at the hits. He gave up nine hits in 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: four and two thirds innings, which is not ideal. Bullpen 23 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: though pretty solid. I mean Cruz through a scoreless inning. 24 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: In a third, Devin Williams was fantastic again. He struck 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: out three in his appearance. Luke Weaver through a scoreless inning, 26 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: and Camillo Dovall through a scoreless inning. So the bullpen 27 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: tonight the opposite of last night. Extremely reliable. And with that, 28 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees are now eighty five and sixty seven on 29 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: the season, and they remain atop the wild card in 30 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: the American League, and they are four games back. It 31 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: looks like Toronto lost tonight. So let's get to the 32 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: recap here. Oh, let's get it going. And good sign 33 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: for the Yankees. Extremely good sign for the Yankees. Aaron 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: Judge beginning to hit. He went three for four tonight. 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: He had a double to right field in the first 36 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: inning today. He is really beginning to heat up at 37 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: the right time. Because when he gets hot, I mean 38 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: really hot, he'll stay hot for a month or two 39 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: at a time. Right he gets really locked in. I 40 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: remember he hit four hundred for like two months this year. 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: Now he's had some fits and starts, kind of trying 42 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: to get back on the horse, especially after the elbow injury. 43 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: But it seems now like we're seeing all sorts of 44 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: good signs. We're seeing line drives all over the field. 45 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: He went to right field, he went to left field. 46 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: He's hitting for power now, he's closing in on fifty 47 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: home runs. He is leading in the batting average for 48 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the batting title race, hitting three twenty nine now one 49 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: point three to two ops. He was the DH tonight. 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: I expect we'll see him more in right field here 51 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: going forward. Bellinger started in right field tonight. He had 52 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: a good night. He had a big home run, also 53 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: had an RBI single. He is closing in on one 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: hundred RBIs. He's got twenty nine home runs and he's 55 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: got ninety seven RBIs, so basically he needs a three 56 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: run home run for thirty and one hundred, which could 57 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: come at any moment. I remember Alex Rodriguez needed two 58 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: home runs and seven RBIs for a thirty and one 59 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: hundred season back in two thousand and nine. I'm sure 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: a lot of you will remember this. And he did 61 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: it in one inning against the Rays. Drove in seven runs, 62 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: hit two home runs in one inning. And I contend 63 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: to this day that that was the biggest inning and 64 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: the biggest two at bats of his career because I 65 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: feel like, like, up until that point, he had a 66 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: reputation of never hitting in the postseason right and that 67 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: was right at the end of the season, and then 68 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: it kind of gave him that confidence boost of like, 69 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: you know, feeling good at the plate right as you 70 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: went into the playoffs. And the first team that the 71 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Yankees face in the playoffs that year was the Twins, 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: and right away he had like a base hit with 73 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: runners in scoring position, which he hadn't done in forever, 74 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,559 Speaker 1: and then he hit that big two run home run 75 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: off of Joe Nathan that I know, I'm talking about 76 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: something now sixteen years ago, but you know, that kind 77 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: of finished to a season. It's something I want to 78 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. You know, Guys who finished strong 79 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: can oftentimes carry you in the postseason. Richard c says, 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: it's no coincidence that we're good with Cabaliro at shortstop, 81 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: and then Brian Bashman says, Dax Kilby is killing it. 82 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Lombard who and you know Lombard not having a great year, 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: but Kilby still kind of a ways away, So you know, 84 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: let's be patient with these guys. It'll be interesting to 85 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: see who's the shortstop next year to begin the season. 86 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 1: Could be Caballero, it could be Anthony Volby, could be 87 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: any number of players. Really, second inning was a mess 88 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 1: for the Yankees. An error on a pickoff, throw, a walk, 89 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: a wild pitch, two hits for the Twins, and they 90 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: went back out in front. Our friends in the UK 91 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: have a phrase that I love to describe something sloppy. 92 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: A right dog's dinner is what they say. That perfectly 93 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: describes the second inning for the Yankees. But after that 94 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: they turned it back on Trent Grisham. Unbelievable night for 95 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: the Mustachi old one. We hit home runs number thirty 96 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: two and thirty three. Second day in a row, handing 97 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: out the free all expenses paid, beverage service included mustache rides, 98 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: and unbelievable season. Now thirty three home runs again, be 99 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: interesting to see how much he gets paid. We had 100 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: big RBI double for Domingos in the fourth eighteenth double 101 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: of the year for him, they announced that he has 102 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: missed the last few games because he's dealing with a 103 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 1: tooth infection, which can be a real pain in the ass. 104 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Pain in the tooth, I guess, and apparently trying to 105 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: avoid a root canal. I say, just go ahead and 106 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 1: get it. I've had root canals. It's not so bad 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: if you get sedated, right, I mean, you can just 108 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: I remember I went in for a root canal, probably 109 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: actually I had two of them done at once. And 110 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: this was i'd say three or four years ago. I 111 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: go in and they're giving me like some kind of 112 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: medicine to like relax me before the procedure, and the 113 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: lady is actually asking me about my podcast, and she says, oh, yeah, 114 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: tell me about your podcast. And I remember like beginning 115 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: an answer, and then the next thing I know, it's 116 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: two o'clock the next morning. I have no concept of 117 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: the passage of time. I was completely gone, don't remember 118 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: anything about the procedure. So it's not that bad, especially 119 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: if you got Domingez money five million bucks signing bonus. 120 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: You know, go ahead and get the go ahead and 121 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 1: get the root canal. Jazz made a really funky play 122 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: on defense in the fourth inning. I always like when 123 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: he makes an athletic play, but you have to worry 124 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: about where he's gonna to throw the ball because half 125 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: the time he launches it into the camera. Well, good 126 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: throw this time. He also made a nice play up 127 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: the middle on defense in the fifth inning. Good night 128 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 1: for him. As I mentioned, heel was not great, bullpen 129 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: was really great, and the Yankees take two out of three. 130 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: The ex kid says, lol, I realized that Trent Grisham 131 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: looks like Jean Shallit. I don't know who that is. 132 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look that up and you can be right 133 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: along with me for the ride. As I look this up. 134 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: Jean Shalit, Oh my god, holy cow, look at this guy. Yeah, 135 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: I can see it. I definitely see it. The mustache 136 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: is there. That's that's great. And then Brian Bashman says, 137 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: Yankees travel with Baltimore with no off day. They are 138 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: six and fourteen in travel days with no off day, 139 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: travel games with no off day. Well, I appreciate the optimism. 140 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: You can't win. 141 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: We'll see how it shakes out. They're gonna get in 142 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: early in the morning. But what do he said? We 143 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: give out some hardware here, we have a returning champion 144 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: tonight for the belt. It is the mustachioed one, mister 145 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: Trent Grishing. Apparently Spencer Jones at two home runs and 146 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: five RBIs tonight against whatever pitching is left in Triple A. 147 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: I'm not totally buying into the numbers. He also struck 148 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: out a ton in Triple A this year. I'm not 149 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: ready to hand him a position next year, which you 150 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: know makes you think about tonight's belt winner and another 151 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: guy who had a good night, Cody Bellinger, who will 152 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: they bring back? It will be very interesting. And also 153 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: I want Domingos in the lineup every day next year. 154 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: He's really capitalized on not playing that often, you know, 155 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: which maybe makes him a great fourth outfielder. But I 156 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: think he's gonna hit for more power. He's hit a 157 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: lot of balls to the warning track. He did it 158 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: again tonight. Some folks would say warning track power, and 159 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: maybe that is he hits a lot of balls in 160 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: the air the other way into centerfield and it's tough 161 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: to go deep, you know, in that scenario. He's got 162 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: to pull the ball in the air if he wants 163 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: to hit more home runs. And as Garady said, he's 164 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: got to work on the right handed swing. But great 165 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: night for Trent. Grisham would have no objections to bringing 166 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: him back. Now tied with Jazz for the lead in 167 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: belts with ten. All right, let's talk about Louise Heel, 168 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: who was obviously not as sharp this time as he 169 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: was against the Red Sox when he had six no 170 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: hit innings. Twins baseballed him in the second inning. They 171 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: were making contact, you know, they forced him to throw 172 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: one away. You know, they were being menaces on the bases, 173 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: running aggressively. He did a nice job to pitch out 174 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: of the jam in the third inning, first and second 175 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: nobody out. He avoided further damage that inning, but ran 176 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: into trouble in the fifth inning, could not finish the inning. 177 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Second game in a row with a Yankee starter has 178 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: had a big lead and couldn't get the win out 179 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: of it. Now, when you ask do wins matter, right, 180 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: what do I look at when I see wins? I 181 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: see a guy. I see people who don't let knights 182 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: like this happen too often. Like Carlos Rodin will almost 183 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: always get through the fifth. He won't always get through 184 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: the sixth through the seventh, but he'll almost always get 185 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: through the fifth, and you know that's why. You know, 186 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: when you have a good offense and you're pitching five 187 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,479 Speaker 1: plus innings, you're able to pick up a lot of wins. 188 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 1: Max Freed same thing. You know. I think Louis Heo, 189 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: if he gets deeper into games next year, it's gonna 190 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: be because he's throwing more strikes. The walks have been 191 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: an issue, and when you have, you know, a ton 192 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: of base runners, all it takes is a little bloop 193 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: here and there or a wild pitch or an er 194 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: and runs can can tack up. Louis Penefield, says my man, Derek. 195 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,719 Speaker 1: You have agree that this win certainly looks a lot 196 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: better than yesterday's one hundred percent and eighty five wins. 197 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, I know a lot of us thought that 198 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe the Yankees wouldn't even get to eighty five wins 199 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: this year, based on you know, the injuries we had 200 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: and losing Soto and the whole throwing together plan B. 201 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: But it has worked out well. I think they're gonna 202 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: end up with about ninety two wins, maybe ninety one, 203 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: but you know they're gonna be over that eighty nine 204 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 1: and a half number. Yeah, we had at the beginning 205 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: of the year. So let's take a couple of voicemails. 206 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: We don't have a lot tonight. Here is John. 207 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 2: Hey there, Derek, this is John Colin here. You know, 208 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: I just wanted to call quick. We're in the first 209 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: inning of this game three set against the Twins here, 210 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: and I just want to say that I find it 211 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: to be super sad that Joe Girardi needs to explain 212 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: the basics fundamentals to the audience because the Yankees are 213 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: just not exhibiting any fundamental baseball. Yeah, judges round third 214 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: base coming home, Jazz is standing on deck, and he 215 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: gives them no signals to slide close play at the plate. 216 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: You know, could have been you know, a possibility for 217 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: injury there. I just I think it's so silly that 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 2: we just keep making the same old mistakes over and 219 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: over again. Just not exhibiting big fundamental basebost seems like 220 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: that's what should be something they've learned back in high school. 221 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: But uh, yeah, appreciate. 222 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: It Twitter, And you know Girardi, you can you can 223 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: read into what he finds important by listening to him 224 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: on the telecast. Right, He's always a step or two 225 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: ahead of the game. Right tells you how prepared he is. 226 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: He's always bringing out like these obscure notes that are 227 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: just like really really detailed and really well thought out. 228 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 1: And the fact that he understands fundamentals and preaches them 229 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: to the audience tells you that he's probably doing the 230 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: same thing to his players, which is probably why he's 231 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: not the Yankees manager anymore. And I know a lot 232 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: of people wanted him gone. You know, he had some 233 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: mistakes during his tenure. There was obviously the non challenge 234 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: of the hit by pitch against the I think it 235 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: was the Indians, then I think it was before they 236 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: were the Guardians, and then it led to a Grand 237 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: Slam and put the Yankees down to nothing in that series, 238 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: but they came back and won that series. And you know, 239 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: apparently he was tough on Gary Sanchez, but look what 240 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: Gary Sanchez did after leaving Girardi's tutelage. Right His career 241 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: went to hell. His defense got worse, his offense got worse. 242 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: Girardi is a smart man and he's a good manager, 243 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: and I know he hasn't had a lot of success elsewhere. 244 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: But if the Yankees do decide to make a change, 245 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: I would have no problem at all with saying, you know, hey, 246 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: we made a mistake. You know, Cashman comes to him 247 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: with his hat in his hand and says, hey, we 248 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: want you back. But we know Cashman won't do that. 249 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't like to admit mistakes. But you know, I 250 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: think that I think he would make a great, great 251 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: manager if they decided to move on from Boone at 252 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: some point, call about Grishaman, do Mingez hi Jack. 253 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 4: As much as I liked Tran Grisham, because this is 254 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: aiden from Long Island, as much as I like to Gusham, 255 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: I think you gotta lot them walk. I mean Jason Mingaze, 256 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 4: just like every single time he's been at the bat 257 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 4: with these women in that bat, he's getting the hit, 258 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 4: he's getting the albi. I feel like lately the Minga's 259 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 4: obviously not been playing a lot, get a lot of hits. 260 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 4: And I think the Mingas should be the left fielder 261 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 4: next year, and maybe you keep wells put Jones, who 262 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 4: had two one months tonight on the bench to a 263 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 4: tile A, and when an injury comes he'll be the 264 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 4: center fielder. But we also Bellinger, he can resign, he 265 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 4: need to resign him. But I think there's no spot. 266 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: There was a spot for gression. But like Glisham is 267 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 4: a career year, obviously, I think you're gonna have to 268 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: let him walk. 269 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: He's like, it's an interesting dilemma that the Yankees have. 270 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: But we're taking a look at Jason Deminge's a stat 271 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: Cast numbers. Now, I don't know that they're gonna hand 272 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: out a record contract to, you know, Trent Grisham, but 273 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: he will get paid. He'll get paid decent amounts, and 274 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: I'll be at to see how far the Yankees are 275 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: willing to go on him and if they want him back. 276 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: But bringing Grisham back doesn't really necessarily mean that Dominges 277 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: won't be the left fielder. Now. Domingez needs to improve, 278 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: for sure, especially from the right side of the plate. 279 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: But you see like a lot of areas where he's 280 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: already elite. Right the arm strength, the sprint speed, the 281 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: bat speed, the hard hit percentage, the average exit velocity, 282 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: the base running value. He's at least an above average 283 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: batting run value player according to stat Cast, and he's 284 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: only twenty two years old. I mean, he's putting up 285 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: some impressive numbers. Now, there's a lot of areas where 286 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: he's got to get better, for sure. The strikeouts are 287 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: too high. He's not good from the right side, but 288 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: he sprays the ball all over the field. And you 289 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: know Grisham. Let's take a look at Trent Grisham. He's 290 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight years old, gonna be twenty nine. We looked 291 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: at him yesterday. He's also elite like across the board, 292 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: and we know he's a better fielder and runner than 293 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: he has been this year because he's dealing with the hamstring. 294 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: But he has figured it out. And I mean, you 295 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: look at the map here. I mean, that is what 296 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: you want from someone who plays at Yankee Stadium. Pulling 297 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: the ball in the air, you get a lot of 298 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: home runs now thirty three home runs, hitting two forty 299 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: on the year eight twenty six ops. It'll be interesting 300 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: to see which way the Yankees go. And now you 301 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: know Cody Bellinger twenty eight nine home runs, he's had 302 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: a really good year. Obviously, gonna opt out and get 303 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: paid big time. So Yankees are gonna have some decisions 304 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: to make. Richard see says Girardi was on the verge 305 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: of a dynasty with the Baby Bombers. He wouldn't coddle 306 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: the team like Boone did, and we'd much better for it. 307 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: One hundred percent agree, thank you very much. One hundred 308 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: percent agree.
