1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: He wanted to pull up Carol. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody? Welcome back Wednesday, April eighth, and 3 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 2: the Yankees are getting ready to take on the Athletics 4 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 2: in game two of a three game set, the middle game, 5 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 2: and we welcome back our old friend, mister Luis Severino. 6 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: I always like Sevy. There's no question that. Towards the 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: end of his Yankees career, you know, he was tipping 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 2: pitches and you know, guys are getting good swings off 9 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 2: of him, and he did not finish strong with Yankees. 10 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 2: He's had some good years since he left the Yankees. 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: But in terms of all time favorites that I've seen, 12 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: you know, be homegrown, he's one of them. I've always 13 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: really liked Louis Severino. I like his attitude, I like 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: who he is. But tonight I am rooting against him. 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: Last year with the Athletics, he was noticeably hittable. He 16 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 2: only struck out one hundred and twenty four batters in 17 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two and two Thursdy innings. He 18 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: had a four point five to four ERA. Now during 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic, Louis Severino looks really good. But 20 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 2: so far this year he has not been as good, 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: and we'll cover him more later on, but six point 22 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: four to eight ERA through his first two games, he 23 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: does have more strikeouts, more strikeouts and innings pitch, which 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: is not something you could say about last year. As 25 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: I mentioned, And if you go back to his time 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: with the Mets three point nine to one ERA in 27 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, one hundred and eighty two innings, he 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: was eleven and seven. But before that with the Yankees 29 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: he finished off really, really poorly six point sixty five ERA. 30 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: So we welcome back Luis Severino. Tonight. I want to 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the starting lineup because this 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: is interesting today. So you know, all day I've been 33 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,559 Speaker 2: wondering would Rosario start at third base? When the question 34 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: I should have been asking is how will Aaron Boone 35 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: find a way to get McMahon into the lineup when 36 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: McMahon is hitting eighty seven, And the answer to that 37 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: question is to put him at shortstop. Now, cabal Ra 38 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: has not exactly been tearing the cover off the ball. 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: But let's go through the lineup. Grisham leading off at 40 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: one forty seven, no home runs, four RBIs. As I 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 2: mentioned last night, he's hitting a two. He's hitting too 42 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: many balls I think to centerfield. He's hitting soft fly 43 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: balls to center field and just not his game. I 44 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: think he needs to hit the ball in the air 45 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: to the pole field to be effective, continue to draw walks. 46 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge hitting just two thirty seven, three home runs, 47 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: seven Ribby's eight twenty six ops. He's a lock to 48 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: get going pretty soon. Although it's gonna be another cold, 49 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: awful night, and you know, as a California kid, I 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: expect that, but he doesn't love playing cold weather. It 51 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: could be part of why he has not been as 52 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: great in the playoffs. Cody Bellinger two sixty five, one 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: home run, three RBIs, eight point fifty ops. Been playing solid, 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: been playing good defense. Looks every bit the player he 55 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: was last year. I have no doubt he's gonna have 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 2: another good year if he stays healthy. Ben Rice three 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 2: seventy nine, three home runs, eleven RBIs. He's been fantastic 58 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: one point three seven to eight ops on the season. 59 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton d hitting three seventy eight last night. 60 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: First time we've really seen him chasing bad picture pitches 61 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: this year, pitches way out of the strike zone. He 62 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: kind of got away from his game. He's another guy 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: I think just doesn't like cold weather at all. And Uh, 64 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic about him tonight against uh Sevey, but 65 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: if he does connect on a fastball off of Severino, 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: he could be a home run threat tonight because I mean, 67 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: Seve's providing you know, ninety eight mile an hour heat 68 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: maybe ninety seven, and Stanton's providing the exit velocity, you know, 69 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: among the best ever, So if you get the right 70 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: launch angle, I mean, it's a power meeting power. I 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: think he could go deep if he connects, but I 72 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: expect him to see a heavy diet of sliders, cutters, 73 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: that type of thing. Chisholm hitting two hundred now with 74 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: three Ribbi's five thirteen ops, I think we've seen more 75 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: of the same old jazz so far this year, minus 76 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: the power so far. Doesn't love playing cold weather again. 77 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: A lot of guys who do not play well in 78 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: cold weather. Maybe the Yankees should go out and get 79 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: some Canadians, right, Get the best Canadians. That way, you 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 2: play good in cold weather in October and in April 81 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: when you need to start good. Iscara no hits yet 82 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: this year, but Boone loves this guy. Honestly, Wells has 83 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: not been super impressive to me, so I welcome a 84 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: night off for Wells. Rosario obviously the two big home 85 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 2: runs last night helping the Yankees win. He's back in 86 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: there at third base, and I think this is important 87 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: because you're going to give him looks against three different 88 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: types of pitchers in three days, plus all the bullpen guys, 89 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: so Savali in Game one, who's kind of a mix 90 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: and match, soft tossing right hander, and then you get Severino, 91 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: who's a mid to upper nineties right hander, and then 92 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: tomorrow against the lefty he'll undoubtedly be in the lineup, 93 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 2: and Springs is a pretty good lefty himself. So you're 94 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 2: seeing three different pictures. You get an idea of what 95 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 2: Rosario can do, you know, with the adjustments that he's 96 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: made over the last couple of years. And then Ryan McMahon, 97 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: this is the story tonight playing shortstop. He played shortstop 98 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 2: a little bit in spring training. I didn't think he 99 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: looked all that good, but apparently the Yankees are okay 100 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: with Cabaliro on the bench. That allows Cabayra to be 101 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: a weapon off of the bench in a tight game, 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: which I suspect we could have tonight and McMahon maybe 103 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: he runs into one, you know, but he has been 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: overmatched by velocity, and I worry that this is not 105 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: a good matchup for him, but they're giving him opportunities 106 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: to play. We got a call here from Ray about it. 107 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, I just had a thought, man, I don't 108 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: have to see why we don't just start Rosalie at 109 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: third base and bring McMahon and Laden games for defense upgrade. 110 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: That could be what happens. 111 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 3: Any back right now is better than what Biyan McMahon 112 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 3: is doing with the bat so hard that's let him 113 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: actually get his value added and just come in to 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: play the field. 115 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 4: Munter as lost. 116 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: I think that's that could be where we're going. Got 117 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: that could be where we're headed. First of all, congrats 118 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: on having a thought, Ray, Uh, but yeah, that if 119 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 2: McMahon doesn't hit right and the metrics read out as 120 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 2: him not being somebody who projects, well, he's gonna cut bait. 121 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 2: I don't care how much money he makes. They've got 122 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: some prospects coming up. Lombard tearing it up in the 123 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: minor leagues. He's got another hit today. Now it doesn't 124 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: factor in his season stats. Yet it'll do that once 125 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: the game is over. But one for two today he 126 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: had an extra base hit, so I could see Lombard 127 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: Junior advancing quickly. Now Will Warren on the mound. He's 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: got a one to oh record, two point seven zero ERA. 129 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: Last time out, he was a winner against the Seattle Mariners. 130 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: He went five to two thirds innings, four hits, two runs, 131 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: no walks, and six strikeouts. And that's one thing that 132 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: you're seeing from these Yankees pitchers is they're pounding the zone. 133 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: Will Warren included. And I think Warren's gonna have a 134 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 2: good night. I think he's gonna have a solid night. 135 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be infallible because he's a 136 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: guy that relies also on movement and sometimes in really 137 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: cold weather, if you're a movement pitcher, like you know, 138 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 2: you gotta really really have a good textile or textile 139 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: feel for the baseball, and if your hands are cold, 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: that can be trouble. So I'd imagine there might be 141 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: a mistake or two. But if he's on and he's 142 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: got a good feel for the baseball, he actually could 143 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: dominate tonight because hitters are gonna hate hitting that heavy 144 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 2: sinker in this weather, they're just gonna hate it. So 145 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: that is the pitching matchup tonight. We have got Luis 146 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: Severino for the A's versus Will Warren for the Yankees. 147 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: Let me know in the comments who you think is 148 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: going to come out on top. Athletics come in at 149 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: three and seven on the season, Yankees eight and two, 150 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: going for their ninth win of the year. As we 151 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 2: check in on what the Yankees are doing so far 152 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: this year, they are hitting two twenty five as the team, 153 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: that's eighteenth in Major League Baseball. They have eleven home runs, 154 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: that is fourteenth in Major League Baseball. And really the 155 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: story has been the pitching. Two point four to two 156 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: ERA second and Major League Baseball. One point oh two 157 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: whip is third in Major League Baseball. And you know, 158 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 2: their offense has not been great now. Somebody said last 159 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: night it's been down all across baseball, and I agree. 160 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: But still there are seventeen teams better right now in 161 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: batting average and the Yankees there are eight teams better 162 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: in ops. There are thirteen teams that have hit more 163 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: home runs. I think over the cour of the summer, 164 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees will have a bit more offense but right 165 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 2: now that has been the weak spot. We'll see how 166 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: it shakes out. Now, Ben Rice leading the team at average, 167 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: Stanton right behind him. In terms of home runs, Rice 168 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: and Aaron Judge both with three home runs so far. 169 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: Amed Rosario hit two, both of them last night, and 170 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: then we got some guys with one. Ben Rice leading 171 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: the team in ribby's with eleven RBIs so far. Aaron 172 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: Judge and John Carlos Stanton are tied at in second 173 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: place with seven. In terms of hits, Stanton has fourteen 174 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: hits on the year. Now, he started off ten for twenty, 175 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: so he started off red high. He's cooled off a 176 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: little bit. You figured out was gonna happen. Ben Rice 177 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: has eleven hits, Judge Bellinger each with nine, and Chisholm 178 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: with eight. Stolen bases Jazz and Cabaira both have four. 179 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: That's going to be an interesting battle to see who 180 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 2: can steal more bases. Jazz is a stat driven guy 181 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: for sure, and you know that he doesn't want to 182 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: come in second and stolen bases on his own own team. 183 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 2: But Cabaliro led the league last year, and we'll see 184 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 2: how much Cabaliro plays over the course of the summer, 185 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: especially with Volte coming back. Ben Rice has drawn eleven 186 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: walks this year, so he's been very patient at the plate. 187 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 2: Bellinger Grisham each with nine, McMahon with six, so he 188 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: has been somewhat patient Wells with five. I'm surprised Judge 189 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 2: isn't on here more ops Rice, Versario, Goldschmidt, Stanton and Bellinger. 190 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 2: Very weird to see Aaron Judge is not in the 191 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: top five of ops on this team right now. On 192 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: base percentage he is fourth at three twenty six. We 193 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: got three guys with obps over four hundred so far, 194 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: Rice at five point fifty, Stanton at four ten, and 195 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: Bellinger at four nine. Now, in terms of wins, Schlitzler 196 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 2: and Freed both have two innings pitched. Freed is your 197 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 2: leader in the clubhouse with twenty camp Schlitters right behind 198 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: him with sixteen and two thirds. Proved to be human 199 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: last night. Terms of ERA, Hendrick has pitched pretty well 200 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: out of the bullpen. He's got a zero era Yarborough Hill, 201 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: both with zierri Ari's but in terms of starting pitching 202 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: Freed and Schlittler one point three to five for Freed 203 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: one point six to two for Cam Schlitzler, and then 204 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 2: Cam Schlittler way out in front with twenty two strikeouts, 205 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: and Cam Shlitler has not walked anyone yet this year. 206 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 2: You look at his numbers two and zero, one point 207 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: six two sixteen and two thirds innings, twenty two strikeouts, 208 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: no walks, and a zero point four to eight whip. 209 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: So good start for Cam Shaler. Let's get to some voicemails, Saric, 210 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: what's going on? 211 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 3: Man? 212 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: This is Matt in South Carolina calling because I was 213 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: talking to a bunch of my idiot Mets friends and 214 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: they seem to think that the Yankees weak spot this 215 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 1: year is going to be their starting pitching, which I 216 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: don't know. If you ask me, I think that's the 217 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: one place I feel confident in. What do you think 218 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: is going to be the week spot to bring the 219 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Yankees down if it happens, relief pitching back into the lineout. 220 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: What do you think? 221 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 2: Let me know, I think I think the relief pitching 222 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 2: that seems to be a problem. The underbelly of the pen. 223 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: I don't see a real consistent set up guy right now. Doval. 224 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: I think they had hoped could be one of those guys. 225 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 2: Fernando Cruz has been pretty good, but even at him, 226 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 2: at times he'll walk guys because he's a guy who 227 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: throws the splitter over and over and over again. And 228 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: if you don't have that working or you're not controlling it, well, 229 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: you walk guys. He does get a lot of strikeouts, though, 230 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: so I'll give him that. You know, you got Yarbro, 231 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: but he's more of like a long reliever. I mean, 232 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: maybe at some point you move Louis Heel or Will 233 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: Warren or Ryan Weathers to the pen, and there's stuff trains. 234 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 2: Sometimes starters who go to the pen, their stuff translates 235 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: really well. Remember Hughes back in nine. I think the 236 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: bullpen needs an influx. But I am worried about the offense. 237 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: I think the offense will come around as we start 238 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: to get more production out of Aaron Judge, and he 239 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 2: just hasn't been that productive yet. And I think once 240 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: Volpi comes back, they're gonna let him play. We'll at 241 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: least give you some power, right. I don't think they're 242 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 2: ever going to turn him into the line drive hitting, 243 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: you know, short stuff that we want, but he'll probably 244 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,199 Speaker 2: hit for some more power. 245 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 4: You know, looking at Gary Sanchez. Figures he's got three 246 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 4: home runs, He's he's got five RBIs in seventeen at bats, 247 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 4: and you know, Austin's not starting out too well. So 248 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 4: not that I would ever want to go back to 249 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 4: a below average catcher in uh, I think Gary Stanchez, 250 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 4: but I just thought it was an interesting stat's his 251 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 4: ops is one point two five three and in seventeen 252 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 4: at bats, and he's bat in two ninety four. Thanks Derek, he's. 253 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: Down to two sixty three now. But here's the here's 254 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: the issue. He's not going to maintain this. He got 255 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: off to a decent start last year with Baltimore, but 256 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: over the course of season fell A Party hit just 257 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: two thirty one with five home runs and a two 258 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: ninety seven on base percent. And she can't catch. He's 259 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 2: not a good catcher. You go back to Milwaukee year 260 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 2: before that, two twenty with eleven home runs. It's been 261 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: a long time. It's been nine years since he was 262 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: that guy who hit thirty three home runs on the 263 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen team, or the guy who came up out 264 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: of nowhere and hit two ninety nine with twenty home 265 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: runs and finished second in the Rookie of the Year 266 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: voting back in twenty sixteen. It's been a long time since. 267 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: Then you go back to his time in twenty twenty three, 268 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: he hit two seventeen with nineteen home runs forty seven RBIs. 269 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 2: Then he moves on to Milwaukee Baltimore. Now back with Milwaukee. 270 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: I gotta say, I'm I don't miss him. I don't 271 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: miss him, and I think Wells will have better numbers 272 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 2: over the course of the season than Gary Sanchez. But 273 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. 274 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 4: Got two things, Zario. He's a third base rady, lest 275 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 4: you or anything. And what our guy that's in h 276 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 4: down the farm system there, you know, Dominge is Y's 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 4: sitting them with the too, Lessie's pitching day to day, 278 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: sitting them on the bench. What's going on there? Thank you? 279 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted him to get more at bats against 280 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: lefties in the minor leagues, but taking an apparently counterproductive 281 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: approach unless he's feeling something. But yeah, McMahon, you got 282 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 2: your wish. He's at third base tonight. Here is Steve 283 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: from Maine. 284 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 4: Yes, hello, Derek, Steve called it from me. 285 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: Nine and two. 286 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 4: Very good, very little complaint about. 287 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: Thank god they finally put McMahon on the bench. But 288 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 3: one other name we haven't discussed, and it's I think 289 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 3: it's time to do it. 290 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: T J. 291 00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 4: Rumfield. 292 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 3: Yank you to have such a poor ability at discovering talent, 293 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 3: especially position players. 294 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 4: Take a look what he's doing. 295 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 3: I think he's got a four to fifty on base percentage. 296 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: That is all Steve remain, very small sample size. I 297 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: wouldn't read that much into this. I mean he is 298 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: off to a good start, sure, but lots of guys 299 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: get off to good, you know, fifty at bats in 300 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: the major leagues before the league figures him out. But yeah, 301 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: he's a good hitter. But he's not gonna play over 302 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: Ben Rice. He's not gonna play first base for the Yankees, 303 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: So why not deal him? I have a problem with 304 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: all they got back for him was on hell Cheve, 305 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: who is in the minor leagues because he stinks. He's 306 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: a stiff. So that's my problem. It's my problem, isn't 307 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: that they traded TJ. Rumfield. I think t J. Rumfield 308 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: might be a decent hitter. I don't think he's gonna 309 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: be Babe Ruth. I don't think he's gonna put up 310 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 2: a four to forty on base percentage. But I could 311 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: see him hitting two seventy with twenty homers. He could 312 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: be that kind of hitter, maybe twenty five. He's young enough, 313 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: he's twenty five years old. You might develop and be 314 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 2: a hitter. But he had no where to play for 315 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees. He had nowhere to play. So anyway, I 316 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 2: just wanted to hop on and give a real quick 317 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: pregame for you guys again, if you're just starting, if 318 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 2: you're just joining the lineup tonight one more time. Grisham 319 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: leading off, Judge batting second, Bellinger batting third, and left field, 320 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: Rice batting fourth, Stanton DH Chisholm second base, is Scara 321 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: getting the night off for Wells. Rosario at third base 322 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: once again at McMahon in there at shortstop with this 323 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 2: eighty seven average. So that's your lineup tonight. I will 324 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 2: be back after the game, like subscribe all that good 325 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: stuff and we will see you next time.
