1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Wanted to pull Catchel. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody, Welcome back, Welcome back, I should 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 2: say welcome for the first time. If this is your 4 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: first time on my other channel. If you're watching this 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: episode live, you are one of the most hardcore of 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: hardcore of fans, not only of the Yankees, but of 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: Pinstripe Territory. For those of you watching later on Pinstripe Territory, 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure everything seems normal to you, but we're doing 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 2: this show live from my backup channel, Derek Unplugged, and 10 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 2: the reason is because we are in live stream YouTube jail. 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 2: Yesterday we did a bit that I do sometimes when 12 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: the team is playing particularly poorly, where we show a 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: clip from the movie Jaws where the chief shoots the 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: shark and it blows up, and instead of the shark, 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 2: we have a Yankees logo blowing up. But apparently there's 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: a gun in the scene and you're not allowed to 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 2: show guns on a live stream for YouTube, So we 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: are in temporary live stream jail. I talk to YouTube today. 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 2: They're getting it straightened out. It might be a day 20 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: or two, but for the time being, we will be 21 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: live streaming on this channel, and then we will migrate 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: the podcast over to pinstripe territory as a video when 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: it's done. But back to business. Yankees finally win one today. 24 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: Dom d says it's ridiculous, and I one hundred percent agree. 25 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: YouTube's you know, the way they do stuff sometimes just 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: absolutely mind boggling. But Valin n Why says, can we 27 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: play the Twins every week? Hey, just a reminder, since 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: this is a backup channel, we might be here for 29 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 2: a few days, go ahead and subscribe so you don't 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: miss it in case we go live from this channel 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: over the next couple of days live streaming, but this 32 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: is where we'll be. And then in the future, probably 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 2: I don't know, sometime this winter, maybe maybe even sooner 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: than that, I'm planning on launching a podcast on this 35 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: channel that just talks about other stuff, different topics, a 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: lot of tech stuff, movies, all that stuff, but kind 37 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: of a rundown thing like we do now or different 38 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: topics or whatever. But anyway, let's get to the recap. 39 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: No, let's get it going. 40 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: So, yeah, we had Cody Bellinger getting things started with 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: a home run home run number twenty one on the season. 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: Ops hanging in there over eight hundred on the season. 43 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: Looking at it right now, it is at eight fourteen. 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: So we wondered before the season whether this guy would 45 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 2: be able to bounce back and become the player that 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: he was a couple of years ago when he won 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: Comeback Player of the Year for the Cubs, and he 48 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: has done that. He has definitely done that after a 49 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: really slow start. Remember he was battling some back issues 50 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: early on, and then he got food poisoning from some 51 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: chicken I believe it was in Chicago. But he is 52 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: back with a vengeance now hitting two seventy two with 53 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: twenty one home runs. That RBI tonight number sixty seven, 54 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: so you got to figure twenty five home runs eighty 55 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: five RBIs at minimum. If he maintains his current pace, 56 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: he could get up to twenty eight or twenty nine, 57 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: maybe even thirty home runs if he gets hot and 58 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: he's sitting for a decent average. He's one of the 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: only guys on the team that will shorten up his 60 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: stroke to try and avoid a strikeout. I love the guy. 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: I gotta say, pay that man his money. 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 3: That's me and his money. 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: If the Yankees won him back, it might be a 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: good idea to offer him an extension now, that makes sense, 65 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: but I'm not sure he'll take one. You know, he 66 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: obviously has an agent that is notorious for getting the 67 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: top dollar, even if it means holding guys out. And 68 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: as Terrence mentioned in our previous show, when you've got 69 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker out there on the market and he's getting 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: all these offers, the backup for those guys for teams 71 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: that miss out on Tucker likely to be Cody Bellinger. 72 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: So he's gonna get paid if he stays healthy. 73 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: Stanton also went deep tonight, big home run for him, 74 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: opposite field home run number eleven. John Carlos stan very 75 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: quietly having his most consistent offensive season for the Yankees 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: in a while since he has been back. We look 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: at the numbers, I'll come on. The thing has not 78 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: shown up. He is hitting two eighty one, and I 79 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: can show it now. Hang on just a second. He's 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: hitting two eighty one on the season. He has got 81 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 2: eleven home runs, He's got thirty one RBIs, he has 82 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: got a nine to ten OPS, three sixty two on 83 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: base percentage, and tonight he did it as a right fielder, right, 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: He did it as a right fielder. As we see 85 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: him making a catch there on the highlight reel. But yeah, 86 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: I'm surprised that he has been able to, you know, 87 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: play in the outfield and thus far remain healthy. Ben 88 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 2: Rice followed up back to back, belly to belly monster 89 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: shot for him, home run number seventeen on the season. 90 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: And as fun as these home runs are, and the 91 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: Yankees did it four of them tonight. All solo shots, 92 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 2: all right, all solo shots against a team that raised 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: the white flag in July. Okay, So while it was 94 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: fun and we're wearing the fun hat, the victory hat, 95 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 2: I just wanted to set expectations that this isn't gonna 96 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: work against good teams. Okay, you have got to find 97 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 2: ways to score runs. You might notice the next hitter 98 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: after the back to back home runs with Jazz Chisholm, 99 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: by the way, he tried to bunt and could it 100 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: get it down right? So Twins got on board with 101 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: a home run from Buckston. Another home run from Larnac 102 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: that knocked Warren out of the game. He had a 103 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: really good start. We'll talk more about him, will spotlight 104 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 2: him in just a minute. Yankees tacked on RBI singles 105 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: from Grisham and Judge Grisham continues to swing the bat 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: really really well. 107 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: He is now hitting. 108 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 2: Two forty five but with the eight to ten ops 109 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: Judge with the RBI RBI number eighty seven for Judge 110 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 2: on the season, Kip for the cap to the captain, 111 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: and then Jazz Tack went on solo home run and 112 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 2: the Yankees take Game one of the series. The guests 113 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: and comments here, Big Boss Baby Bomber says Yankee's kaid 114 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: more than eight times to their pitcher. Yankees kid twelve 115 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: times tonight. Matthews struck out nine, Chrisky struck out one, 116 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: and Ramirez struck out two. So the Yankees continue to 117 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: strike out at an astronomical rate and hit home runs 118 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: at an astronomical rate. We're gonna talk a little bit 119 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: about Clint Frazier and his comments on his podcast, his 120 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 2: evaluation of Aaron Boone and the Yankees organization. How a 121 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: lot of things seem to be quote unquote predetermined. But yeah, 122 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: the strikeouts and home runs, it's just a boring brand 123 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 2: of baseball. Wasn't it so much more fun when they 124 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 2: rallied with a few hits and they hit some you know, 125 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: bass hits with guys in scoring position. 126 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: Isn't that more fun? Right? 127 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: Home runs are great, but solo shots they're not gonna 128 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 2: win you a ton of games. You've got to be 129 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 2: able to put rallies together. But today we do have 130 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: a award to give out, and that is the belt 131 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: winner for the evening. First ever belt winner here on 132 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: derk unplugged instead of Pinstripe territory. But Will Warren, Will 133 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: Warren outstanding outing, pitched into the seventh inning, and we're 134 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 2: gonna talk more about him in a second. But overall, 135 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: putting together a really solid year, you know, seven to five, 136 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: four point three four era. He's now thrown one hundred 137 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: and twenty two and a third innings. He's got one 138 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: hundred and forty strikeouts on the season, twenty six years old, 139 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: young starter. I think obviously having him penciled into the 140 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 2: rotation next year is a good thing. He's going to improve. 141 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: I think the strikeout numbers are going to continue to 142 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: climb as he gets more confident. I liked that he 143 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: was attacking the zone tonight, but let's go ahead and 144 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: highlight him in our pitcher spotlight. 145 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: They just. 146 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: So it seemed like his biggest problems tend to come 147 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,559 Speaker 2: in the first inning, and tonight it was nice and easy. 148 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: Struck out two of the first three, then struck out 149 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: the side in the second inning, and you're thinking, all right, 150 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: he should be able to handle the twins, and he did. 151 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: He only threw eighty five pitches tonight, but sixty of 152 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: them were strikes. He was really pounding the strike zone. 153 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: He had a ton of movement. He retired eleven straight. 154 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: At one point he was cruising until he served up 155 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: that home run to Buckston hung a slider, Buckston creamed 156 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: it and then Larnock got him with another hangar. But 157 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: overall he ended up having a really strong outing. Six 158 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: and two thirds innings, three hits, two runs, both of 159 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: them earned no walks, which I love, and seven strikeouts. 160 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 2: Love the zero walks. Really solid for four and welcome 161 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 2: to everybody who's just joining us. Yes, the Pinstripe Territory 162 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: will be back. Virginian says, no more Pinstripe Territory, Derek, 163 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: you had to have found the channel by watching the 164 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,199 Speaker 2: video and the post that I put up there.

Garrett Cole I was encouraged to hear that 172 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 2: he was throwing, that he has begun throwing. I was 173 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: discouraged to learn that he's fording a mustache. It looks ridiculous, 174 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: but yeah, through for the first time since Tommy John surgery. 175 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 2: No word on whether or not Rafael Devers launched one 176 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: five hundred feet off of him. I think, best case 177 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: scenario he's back early next year, but I don't think 178 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 2: that we should expect him to be one hundred percent 179 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: until his arm is completely back, which might not be 180 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: April May. It might be mid season, right, I mean, 181 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: look what happened to Sandy al Contra with the Marlins. 182 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a guy who has some of 183 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: the best stuff in the league, was a cy Young 184 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 2: Award winner and it was in his twenties, and he 185 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: has struggled to come back. So this is by no 186 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: means a guarantee that he's going to come back full strength. 187 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: Last year obviously missed some time with the edema eight 188 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: and five, three point one seven ERA, fifteen and forty. 189 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: The year before that, two point sixty three ERA won 190 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 2: the cy Young he had the Tommy John surgery in March. 191 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: Apparently it was the brace procedure. Now he will be 192 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 2: turning thirty five in September. I believe it's September eighth, 193 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: So he'll be pitching next year at age thirty five 194 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: for most of the season, and you just wonder how 195 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: he's gonna respond. I don't mean to be a downer 196 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 2: or the guy who doubts him, but you know, what 197 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: we're seeing right now is the domino effect of not 198 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: having a guy that you can count on in your rotation. 199 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: You know, Garrett Cole being out all season has put 200 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: a ton of stress on the bullpen because there are 201 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 2: innings that the starting pitchers are not getting every fifth day. 202 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: Right A friend of mine was joking that the Yankees 203 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: should sign some kind of nobody knuckleballer who can just 204 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: throw nine innings every fifth day and eat up those innings, 205 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: and you take it on the chin. I mean, you 206 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: might win one once in a while, you might lose 207 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 2: some games, but you'll at least save the bullpen. And 208 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: for a minute, I was like, man, that's that's not 209 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 2: an outrageous idea, just right intentions. I mean, obviously wouldn't work, 210 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: but anyway, a lot of us were excited that that 211 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: Garrett Cole would be leading a staff that included you know, 212 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: Max Fried and Carlos Rodon, who had a resurgent year 213 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 2: last year. Well, now we got to look for that 214 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 2: trio next year and hope that Freed recovers and you know, 215 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: pitches like the guy he did for the first half 216 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: of the season and not the guy who wore down 217 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: and rodn I mean, you know, he is not put 218 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: together a full season of dominance with the Yankees yet. 219 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 2: So I think what we'll probably look for next year 220 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: is more of the same, but hopefully Garrett Cole being 221 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 2: back and ease the pressure on everybody a little bit. 222 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Clint Fraser's podcast. You know, I happen 223 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: to listen to it, and there's a couple of clips 224 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: going around where he talks about what's wrong with the Yankees. 225 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 2: He didn't say anything that we didn't already know. I mean, 226 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: he talks specifically about Aaron Boone and how he makes 227 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: out a lineup that the analytics people also make out 228 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: a lineup, and then they basically reconcile the two lineups 229 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: and then decide on a final lineup. That's something we 230 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 2: already knew, and that's why people call Aaron Boone a puppet. 231 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: Would I prefer a more. 232 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: Consistent lineup, of course I would, But in this day 233 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: and age, with so many guys injured and rotating in 234 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: and out of spots, nobody really playing one hundred and 235 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: sixty two anymore. You just don't see a lot of 236 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: teams where they play every single day. And honestly, I 237 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: have no issue optimizing the lineup. My issue is that 238 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: players like Clint Fraser come up to the Major League 239 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 2: and have no idea how to get a bunt down 240 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: or how to hit a cutoff man. You know, Clint 241 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 2: talked a lot about Boone, but did he mention how 242 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 2: many times he overthrew the cutoff man? You know, how 243 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: many times was he trying to go home and he 244 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: overthrew the cutoff man, the catcher all the way to 245 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: the backstop. I remember in a number of times. Right, 246 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: how come none of our minor leaguers, with the exception 247 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: of Jason Dominguez, who has also been suspect a few times, 248 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: are above average base runners. You know, Movie's okay as 249 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: a base runner. He's had some bonehead plays too, but 250 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: he doesn't get on base enough really to utilize it. 251 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: The game is always going to change, you know. I've 252 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: come to grips with that. But what I can't come 253 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 2: to grips with is a lower standard of baseball excellence, 254 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: which the Yankees have now had since twenty eighteen. Coincidentally, 255 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: the time when Boone took over, I felt like, at 256 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 2: least under Girardi there was some accountability and good fundamental baseball. 257 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 2: Now was he the perfect manager. No, didn't love the 258 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: way he handled bullpens. Didn't love that a lot of 259 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: stuff was by the binder. But since Boone has come 260 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 2: on board, I feel like things have gotten worse, and 261 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: I feel like that was like Cashman's final chess piece 262 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: in a misguided modernization of the organization. 263 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: And I do. 264 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: Agree with Clint Fraser on one thing, which is that, 265 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: you know, even if Boone was gone, I can't see 266 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: things changing because we're just going to see boone two 267 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: point zero. But anyway, Yankees won tonight. So I don't 268 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 2: want to rant too much, but that's kind of where 269 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,479 Speaker 2: I stand on the Clint Fraser thing. Take the voicemails, 270 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: all right, So we got a voicemail here from Brian. 271 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 3: What's going on, Derek? I just wanted to say a 272 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: couple things real quick. First off, greatame from. 273 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 4: Will Warren exactly what this team honestly needed. A starting 274 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 4: pitcher to honestly step up, go deep into a game 275 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 4: through a quality outing, just big time stuff. Go figure 276 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: it'd be from a rookie picture that no one really. 277 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: Expected to do this year. B this team needs more 278 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: players like Cody Bellinger. Dudes, an absolute baller, can play 279 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: multiple positions. His for average isn't just swinging for home runs. 280 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: The home run runs come when you make good contact. 281 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 3: So dude's been a baller. We need more of those 282 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: than just boppers or guys trying to play more than 283 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: what they actually are. Play within yourself. We need more 284 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 3: guys like that. And the last thing is this is 285 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 3: probably one of the best lineups that we've had all year, 286 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: from leadoff to catcher, benching, wells all around, This is 287 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 3: probably one of the better lineup. 288 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you there he 289 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: keeps going for a little bit. But yeah, the lineup 290 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: tonight I thought was was better for sure, and I'm 291 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: glad to see that we were able to handle business 292 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: against the Twins. That's I mean, that's something that you 293 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: just come to expect as a a Yankee fan. 294 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: They handle the Twins pretty well. 295 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 5: Hey, you doing? While Becau's just he's been as atrocious 296 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 5: watching these Yankee games. So I don't know if you've 297 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 5: probably seen or spoke over already about the Clint Fraser 298 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 5: interview that's out there at the moment, And that proves 299 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 5: what I was always thinking about, like, because nobody could 300 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 5: be that dumb, especially when you grew up in the game, 301 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 5: like for example, Boom, he grew up in a family 302 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 5: of baseball players, and the mistakes he's been doing in 303 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 5: the lineup be like, wait a minute, this doesn't make 304 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 5: any sense. Is he's an actual true baseball player and 305 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 5: he knows the game. He knows a lot of his 306 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: stuff is wrong. 307 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: And the fact that you need committees to put together 308 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: a lineup, I mean, it just it feels like there's 309 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: too many cooks in the kitchen, right, And it goes 310 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: to that thing that we've been talking about, how there's 311 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 2: no feel right. I mean, a manager has got to 312 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: be able to look at the lineup and look at 313 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: the players he has available and say, this guy has 314 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: seen the ball really well, he's swinging the bat well, 315 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: he's feeling good, he's confident. 316 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: Right now, I'm gonna play him. 317 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put him in the best position to succeed 318 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 2: Instead a lot of times we see guys get the 319 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 2: day off, and unfortunately that's become kind of a joke 320 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,479 Speaker 2: with the Yankees in with Boon, But it is what 321 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 2: it is, all right. 322 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: Quick word from Hello Fresh. 323 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 2: Then we're back to wrap it up and I'll get 324 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: this thing up on Pinstripe Territory for the rest of 325 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 2: the folks who couldn't make it. 326 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 6: We have a little breaking news on Hello Fresh.

So we are now at the point where 351 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: the Yankees got to just keep winning. They just got 352 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: to keep winning no matter who they're playing. You know, 353 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 2: good teams, bad teams. And we got a cat up 354 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: here trying to get on the screen. You can't afford 355 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: any more like rest days or punt lineups, and you've 356 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: got to go full sprint from here on out. You're 357 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 2: talking what forty something games, forty three games. I think 358 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: you've got to You've just got to go balls to 359 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: the wall over that period and you know, beat whoever's 360 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 2: in front of you. Good teams, bad teams. We got 361 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 2: to continue to get starting pitching like we did tonight 362 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 2: from Will Warren. I want to give him another shout out, 363 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 2: give him a round of applause. Fantastic performance. And it 364 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: would be nice if we could compile some hits rather 365 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: than just relying on the long ball. We got a 366 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: few comments here, We got where Lifers says the cat 367 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 2: is ready for their close up. Lou Godbar says the 368 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 2: stress free Bednar close was refreshing. Yeah, Bednar looked good. 369 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: I think you're going to see some of these guys 370 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 2: start settling into their spots in the bullpen. I do 371 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: think the bullpen will be much better down the stretch. 372 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 2: You got to keep Devin Williams as far as you 373 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: can away from games in which you could potentially lose. 374 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: We saw what he did in a stress free inning yesterday, 375 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 2: sixth inning down four, struck out the side, dominating, dominating. 376 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: That needs to be his lane. You know, other guys 377 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: have diferent lanes, different matchups. His lane needs to be. 378 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: You gotta eat up some innings when we're losing. That 379 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: should be his lane, and don't stop at one inning. 380 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: This guy's not coming back next year. He will not 381 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: be a part of the Yankees next year. Abuse him, 382 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: I'm saying, give him two innings if you're losing, give 383 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: him two and a third. 384 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: Hell, make him earn his paycheck. 385 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 2: He has potentially cost the Yankees the postseason with his performance, 386 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 2: so I say you gotta just you know, you gotta 387 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 2: abuse him.
