1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: All right, the tip to feed. 2 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 2: It is April seventeenth and the Yankees were visiting their 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: spring training home George m Stein Runnerfield and Tampa to 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: take on the displaced Tampa Bay Rays. Will Warren on 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: the mound and Aaron Judge trying to stay hot. My recap, 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 3: Wanted to pull a cattroll? 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: All right, how's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: Huge night for Ben Rice in the ballpark where he 10 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: did so much hitting in spring training to win a job. 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: Very good night for the Yankees bullpen, Tim Hill in Hamilton, 12 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: Devin Williams, and what do you know, the winn Street continues. Wow, 13 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: winning winning. That is four in a row. I'm made 14 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: the rookie mistake this evening of closing my eyes around 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: six thirty pm, just to give them a break. I'm 16 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: on screens from like the moment I wake up in 17 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: the morning, seven o'clock in the morning, all day long, 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: and so every once in a while, I just got 19 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: to close my eyes and just kind of just shut 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: things down for a minute, and I fell asleep, and 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: I woke up in a panic because the game was 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: going on. Luckily it was only three pitches into the game, 23 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: but it was weird. It was like, for a second, 24 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 2: I was in this alternate universe because the Yankees were 25 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: at you know, steinbreder Field and they're wearing gray and 26 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: they're hitting in the first inning, and for a second, 27 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I thought it was in like some 28 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: kind of a weird bad Ai creation where it looks real, 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: but there's just a few things that are off wrong 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 2: uniform colors or whatever. But anyway, pretty cool to see 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: the Yankees play the Rays at their spring training ballpark. 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: I thought there would be more offense than there was, 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: but there were double digit hits from both teams. Yankee 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: He's had eleven, Rays had twelve. Only two home runs 35 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: in the game. Oswaldo hit one, and Cam and Naro 36 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: hit one. Cam and Arrow has five home runs. Now 37 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 2: he's electric. But a lot of people have been saying, 38 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: you know, over all sorts of moves or lack of moves, 39 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: I wish George dive Runner was alive because this would 40 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: happen or that would happen. The one thing I would 41 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: have been interested in to see how George would respond 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: right now is how the Rays have made over the ballpark. Right. 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: They covered up all the Yankees' logos And if you 44 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: watch the S Network, they don't really show it that much, 45 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: but the Rays have kind of covered up a lot 46 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 2: of the Yankees logos. I don't think George would have 47 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: allowed them to do that. He would have been like, Okay, 48 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: you can use our field. I'm a nice guy, but 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 2: I'll be damned if you're covering up the Yankees logo. 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: And ladies and gentlemen, we have a first in the 51 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: history of pinstripe territory tonight. We have a compliment for 52 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: Aaron Boone. In the chat Zuzu Boy said Boone did 53 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 2: well today. Absolutely. I thought he managed the bullpen great. 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: Will Warren got knocked out early, talk about him in 55 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: a minute. But the Yankees did jump off to an 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: early one nothing lead in the first inning infield single 57 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 2: from Goldschmidt noted speedster Paul Goldschmidt, and then a seeing 58 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: I single for Ben Rice who had a great night, 59 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: and then a line drive single from the Captain from 60 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: Captain America. I think I'm legally obligated now to refer 61 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: to him as Captain America. After that his batting average 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: was at four eighteen and that was his twenty second 63 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: RBI this season. You wonder, because he went oh for 64 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: the rest of the night, if that's gonna be his 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: high water mark of batting average for the rest of 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: the season. It's tough to keep going at that kind 67 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: of clip. I mean, you go two for five, your 68 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: batting average goes down. So a great night for Aaron Judge. 69 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 2: He threw out our runner at third base. My buddy 70 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: Todd Frazier was in the booth. I texted him to 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: ask if there was a sonic boom after that ball 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: broke the sound barrier. Nice play by Cabrera just to 73 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: catch it. I'm surprised he didn't get an exit wound. 74 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: This just in Aaron Judge is freaking amazing. Now the 75 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 2: Rays did come back to take the lead. Warren was 76 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: out of the game in the second ending. We'll talk 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: more about him in the pitcher spotlight. Yarborough did a 78 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: nice job to shut down a Bas's load of jam 79 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 2: but then he gave up a two run home run 80 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: to camon Aro in the following inning. We talked about 81 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: camon Aro yesterday. He's been on fire. He's probably gonna 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: be that long term raised superstar that they thought Wander 83 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: Franco was gonna be. So get used to this guy 84 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: killing us. He's got bat speed like John Carlos Stanton. 85 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: He's got that kind of talent and he's shown, you know, 86 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: no hiccup at all coming into the major leagues. He's 87 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: two for four to with a two eighty eight batting average, 88 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: eight sixty nine ops and five home runs. The kid 89 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: is the real deal. We had a nice four to 90 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 2: four to three double play from Jazz Chisholm to and 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: the bottom of the third inning. But Jazz was not 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: done with this game. He had an interesting moment later 93 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: but top four the Wizard of oz Waldo bullet line 94 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: drive home run for Oswaldo, first home run of the 95 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: season for the Wizard. Goldie followed up with a single 96 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: and then Rice ripped a bullet line drive double down 97 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: the right field line. They walked Judge and then Bellinger 98 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 2: tied it with a ground out. But you know, excellent baseball. 99 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 2: We gotta call later that I'll talk about where the 100 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: Yankees have been finding ways to score without the home run. 101 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 2: Productive outs and guys like Bellinger, you know who are 102 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: good baseball players. I mean Dominguez had a ground out 103 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 2: rbi tonight productive Alex. It's something this team has not 104 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: done well in recent years, and they're doing it this year, 105 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: so that's a really good sign. By the way, no 106 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: Stra Derek prediction today was home run by Cody Bellinger. 107 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: I've never been so wrong in my whole life. And 108 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: by the way, if you are betting actual money on 109 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: the no Stra Derek prediction, you have a gambling problem. Stop. 110 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: We are just doing this for fun. I had some 111 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: moron call the voicemail and complain where I gambled away 112 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: my house where my wife left for me. Because in 113 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: no Strat Derek, listen, if you're taking gambling advice from 114 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: somebody who wears a sixteen dollars ninety five cent Uncle 115 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: Sam hat to work and that's on the good days, 116 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: you've got the problem. I literally do not look at 117 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 2: odds when I make my prediction. I go with my gut, 118 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: and today my gut was wrong. Yankees took the lead 119 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: in the sixth inning good at bat by Jashism to 120 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: draw the walk. I thought he had several good at 121 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: bats today and I thought he should have drawn another one. 122 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: We'll get there base hit by j c Escara and 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: then an RBI ground out by Dominguez and then Ben 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: Rice with his fourth hit of the game with two 125 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: runners in scoring position, made it sixty to three. Great 126 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: day for ben Rice. He went four for five with 127 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: a double and a couple of RBIs. Ben Rice now 128 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 2: hitting three seventeen with a one point zero six to 129 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: four OPS on the season. And then Jazz Chisholm later 130 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 2: on got called out on a fastball that was low 131 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: away outside of the zone and went absolutely ballistic. The 132 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 2: umpire was not having him and gave having it and 133 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: ejected him, and Jazz tweeted, that's e f in ridiculous, 134 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: or you know, he tweeted, not even f and close. 135 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: So he went in and looked at the replay, and 136 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: you know what, he was right. He was right. We 137 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: need I don't even want abs. I want full autumn 138 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: made it balls and strikes. Let's just get the call 139 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 2: right every time. Why is human error important in the 140 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: strike zone? Why is human error important at all? Don't 141 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: we want to eliminate errors entirely if we can, I mean, 142 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: if you can do it, why not do it? We 143 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: have the technology. A really nice play by Oswaldo or sorry, 144 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: oswald Parraza in the top of the ninth inning. 145 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: We spent two hundred and fifty billion dollars a year 146 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: on defense. 147 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: Paraza has low key had some nice contributions already this year. 148 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: This has been the best stretch of baseball in his career, 149 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: and I hope it continues. I mean, even if he 150 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: doesn't become a star. You know, he was our number 151 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 2: one prospect at one point, so I hope he has 152 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: some success. But there's value to having a guy who 153 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 2: plays great defense on the roster because you can come 154 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 2: in the game late in the game like he did 155 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: tonight and have a big impact that seemed to shift 156 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: the momentum. You know, if that hit goes through, maybe 157 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: the Ray is rally there. But Devin Williams was able 158 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: to slam the door and the Yankees take Game one 159 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: over Hi. All right, so I thought, uh, there was 160 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: really one clear choice for the belt tonight. You know, 161 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: Cabrera had a good game. He went two for three, 162 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: He had the home run, Goldie had a couple of hits. 163 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: Judge had the RBI single and threw the guy out. 164 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 2: But you know, Ben Rice four hits, double couple of 165 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 2: ribbis come on first belt through the air from a 166 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 2: man Ben Rice. And we've talked a lot about how 167 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: good Ben Rice has looked in terms of the metrics 168 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: this year. And I will share my screen so we 169 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: can look at it one more time. Ben Rice is elite. 170 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: I mean, this is starting to get into a reasonable 171 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: sample size now it's been over fifty at bats and 172 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: he continues to hit near the top of the league 173 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: in almost every offensive category. So I was doing foul 174 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: territories today and they were talking about Corbyn Carroll and 175 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 2: how you know, a lot of the metrics kind of 176 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: rank him as the best player in baseball, and you'll 177 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 2: get stat cast numbers and they look a lot like 178 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: Ben Rice. Now, Carol is faster, but Ben Rice, I mean, 179 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: he's just his elite in all those areas. Go ahead 180 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 2: and give it a look if you get some free time. 181 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: But to me, the clear best player in baseball's Aaron Judge. 182 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: And we'll talk more about him in a minute. But first, 183 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: the pitcher spotlight not much tonight. Obviously, over fifty pitches 184 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: in less than two innings is, as Joe Girardi would say, 185 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: not to what you want and look he pitched pretty 186 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: good last time out, and even though I haven't been 187 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: as high on him as a lot of the people 188 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,479 Speaker 2: in the comments and a lot of the other commentators 189 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 2: and podcasters, I genuinely do love to watch young pitchers develop. 190 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: You can see their confidence growing in real time, and 191 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 2: generally they start to become more aggressive in the strike 192 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: zone with their stuff as they learn they can get 193 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: major league hitters out. And you know, I was expecting 194 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 2: that from Warren, but today I felt like he kind 195 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: of got away from that. I felt like when he 196 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: got into some bad counts, he started to nibble, and 197 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: that's never a good philosophy because those homeplate umpires don't 198 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: like to give young pitchers the benefit of the doubt 199 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: on close calls. And you know, the Rays have a 200 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: pretty good offensive team, as we've talked about George Emstein. 201 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: Brennerfield is a very, very hitter friendly ballpark, so I 202 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: felt like it was a good test for him, and 203 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: he was pitching a little bit too carefully. Now, credit 204 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 2: to him, he only gave up the one earn run, 205 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: but I think that Aaron Boone did a nice job 206 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 2: of going and getting him at the right time. He 207 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: was starting to throw just way too many pitches where 208 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 2: you start to think about, well, his health could be 209 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: an issue now if you let him throw forty some 210 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: odd pitches this point in the season in one inning. 211 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: So you know, one thing that Warren has done better 212 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: this year is he's dialed it in when he gets 213 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: into a jam and he's made his pitches to get 214 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: out of it. That's happened a few times this year. 215 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: Tonight he made a mess for himself. He loaded the bases, 216 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: he was over thirty pitches in the inning, and he 217 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: just couldn't get out of it. So Boom came and 218 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: got him. So he was done after one and two thirds, 219 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 2: four hits, one run, It was earned, two walks and 220 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: one strikeout, only one with today season, Era stands at 221 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: five point one seven, but still yet to take a loss. However, 222 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: a tough day at the office. 223 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:48,479 Speaker 3: It stinks. 224 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 2: And now for your nightly reminder, Aaron Judge is frickin good. 225 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: And I thought players were supposed to get worse as 226 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 2: they get older, right as they start to get into 227 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: their thirties. Judge is at the age where I would 228 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: expect to see him begin to slow down a little bit. 229 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: You know, typically a player's best years are ages twenty 230 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 2: three to thirty. But he didn't make his debut till 231 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: he was twenty four. He didn't start playing full time 232 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 2: till he was twenty five, so you know, maybe his 233 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 2: mileage is a little different. He's bigger and stronger, and 234 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: you know, you expect there to be wear and tear 235 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: on his body. He turns thirty three on April twenty six, 236 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: which blows my mind. I'm hopeful that he's one of 237 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: these guys that defies age in the way that some 238 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: other athletes that we've seen dominate their sports have done. 239 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: I mean, Lebron James is somebody that comes to mind. 240 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: Forty years old, still an excellent player for the Lakers. 241 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: His numbers are still more or less what they were 242 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 2: like ten years ago. From what I understand. I'm not 243 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 2: a huge basketball fan, but you know, I tune in 244 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: once in a while because I like to watch games 245 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: on my Vision Pro, and you know, he still looks 246 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 2: incredible to me. Tom Brady won a Super Bowl at 247 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 2: forty three. You know, he was able to maintain his 248 00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 2: effectiveness for a long long time. And Justin had a 249 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: long career where he's been excellent you know, at an 250 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 2: age where most people aren't. And I don't know how 251 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: Judge's size will affect him, but they have all of 252 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: these sensors now, They keep track of biomechanical data. They 253 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: fine tune the workload so they know when guys need 254 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: a break. They follow strict recovery routines. In a lot 255 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 2: of cases, their diets are like fine tuned to their 256 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 2: own physiological needs. And the level of production that this 257 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: man puts up is just absurd. It's absurd. And if 258 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 2: he can find a way to extend his longevity so 259 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: that he could play at this high level for another, 260 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: i don't know, four to five years, if he can 261 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: be still doing this at thirty seven, you're talking four 262 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: five MVPs, you're talking five to six home run titles. 263 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: We hear so much about these generational players, right, show 264 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: me a player that's more generational than Aaron Judge, other 265 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: than maybe Shoho Tani because he does the pitching and 266 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 2: because of the international stuff. But Aaron Judge is quite 267 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: simply the best player I've ever seen. He is insane 268 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 2: and tonight, not only doing it with the bat, but 269 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: doing it with the arm, showing that he is a 270 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: complete player, both sides of the ball, and I just 271 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 2: love the guy. We got a number of voicemails, and 272 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: we got a lot of action in the chat tonight. 273 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: So we're gonna skip ahead. We're gonna do a sponsor 274 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: real quick, and I'll be back with audience reactions and 275 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: we'll play a few voicemails. See you in just about 276 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: sixty seconds. In sports, the difference between winning and losing 277 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 2: is often razor thin, and it's great to have an edge, 278 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: and that's what you get with Harry's Razors, the sponsor 279 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 2: for today's episode. You might notice my beard is gone. 280 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 2: I did that because I wanted to test out this 281 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: razor that they sent me. I don't like to pitch 282 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: things unless I try them myself, and I gotta say 283 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: I am very impressed with Harry's Razors. It comes with 284 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: five blades. These are German Engineer there extremely extremely sharp. 285 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: I shaved two days ago and my face still feels 286 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: very smooth. I got the trial set. I really enjoyed 287 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 2: the weighted handle. It gives me like a nice feeling 288 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 2: of control over the razor. I don't have to worry 289 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: about cutting myself.

We're here after 296 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 2: every Yankees game. This is the official Yankees podcast, the 297 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: Foul Territory Network. So let's go first to a couple 298 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: of comments, and then we got some voicemail. So referee says, 299 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: how's that Juan Soto doing over there in Queens? Yikes? 300 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: And you apologize to hey, no need to apologize. People 301 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 2: are talking about it, and Wan Soda sounds unhappy from 302 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: what we've heard. So I pulled up his stats real quick, 303 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: hitting two twenty one yikes, with a three sixty one 304 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 2: on base percentage, three home runs and seven RBIs. Now 305 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,479 Speaker 2: the Mets are winning, which I'm sure is all he 306 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: really cares about. But I did see some stats about 307 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: how he's being pitched differently, like less pitches in the 308 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 2: strike zone this year. They're able to break it down already. 309 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 2: It's a significant difference. So he's just gonna have to 310 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: get better at as a hitter if he wants to 311 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: put up numbers like you did last year hitting in 312 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: front of Aaron Judge. But you know now, I'm not 313 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: gonna cry for him. He's got seven hundred and sixty 314 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: five million dollars to wipe his tears with. Laurie c 315 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: says Aaron James Judge, best player in baseball in the World. 316 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: Case closed. Samantha Teez says Will Warren has to get 317 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 2: it together. He has time to get it together, and 318 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: she has faith that he will improve. I'm not as 319 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: low on him, honestly as I used to be. And look, 320 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: any any player can change their opinion or my opinion 321 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: on them, and my opinion isn't law either. I mean, 322 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 2: I've been wrong about a lot of guys, plenty of guys. 323 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: But last year what I saw didn't impress me. This year, 324 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 2: the stuff looks better, and I do like how much 325 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 2: sink he gets on the baseball. I wonder if he 326 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: nibbles too much. Hopefully that'll come with time, you know. 327 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean, his stuff is pretty pretty excellent, and that 328 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: sweeper is dirty. I just hope that, you know, he 329 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: can become a more complete pitcher as time goes on. 330 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: Valen and Why says, very impressed. The pen gave up nothing. 331 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 2: I didn't think that would happen. Well, Yarboro did give 332 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 2: up the home run to Cameron Arraw, But other than 333 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: that they did great. Hamilton was great, Devin Williams was fine, 334 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: you know, gave up the almost single. But Peraza say 335 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: the day all right. Got a few calls. 336 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 5: Here, Hey, Derek Sam here from Miami. It's cheemed. It's 337 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 5: like a breath of fresh These people can run, so 338 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 5: not every single ground balls are double play. 339 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: Yep. 340 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 5: We're seeing people hit into infield singles, people are getting 341 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 5: on dates, they're moving up. This is actually like a 342 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 5: baseball game. It's not just plugging and spraycast. This is 343 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 5: actually what baseball looks like. And it's been like this 344 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 5: since the season started. Honestly, it's just very refreshing to 345 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: see baseball and not whatever Cashman had created this team 346 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 5: from before. I just wanted to say that, as this 347 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 5: game's going. 348 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,360 Speaker 2: Along, thanks, I love that call. I love that call. 349 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: I have the same thought. It's refreshing to see a 350 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: score on outs, right, it's refreshing to see the hustle, 351 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: to see quality defense. You know, it's it's refreshing to 352 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: see young guys playing hard. I love it. I love 353 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: what we're seeing from Rice. I love what we're seeing 354 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: from Dominguez. He beat out a potential double play today. Now, 355 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: these guys aren't gonna get hits or get four hits, 356 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 2: or hit home runs every game or make out standing plays. 357 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: They're gonna have their growing pains. No a scar base 358 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: hit today. But I just love the makeup of these kids, 359 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: and I think this is a better team top to 360 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: bottom than last year, except for the loss of Garrett Cole. 361 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: You know, replace Soto right with Freed, gold Schmidt, and 362 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: let's say Bellinger. I think those are the three moves 363 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: that happened as a direct response to Soto leaving. You know, 364 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: if Soto re signs, the Yankees probably go with Ben 365 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: Rice at first base because he's cheap. They might trade 366 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: for Bellinger. I'm sure they would still get Devin Williams 367 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 2: because the money worked out pretty much the same with Cortes. 368 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 2: I don't know if they would have gotten Bellinger because 369 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: they had the Martian, you know, so they would have 370 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 2: just played judge and center again, which is not a 371 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 2: great move. So I look at it as you know, 372 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 2: how much value you're going to get from Goldschmidt, Bellinger 373 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 2: and Freed compared to Soto, and I think Plan B 374 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 2: is gonna end up doing better. So get on the 375 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: call here about Ben Rice. 376 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 5: Hey, Derek cow Are it is this taper tall from 377 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 5: the Cats skills? 378 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 6: Oh my god? 379 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: Ben Rice with his fourth hit. 380 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 5: He's four for four, the two run single here. 381 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 6: Let me turn this down. We're in the six, Yankees 382 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 6: off six to three. 383 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 4: I mean, what can you say? 384 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 5: This is just unbelievable Ben Rice, and I have his 385 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 5: rookie card here, so. 386 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 6: Maybe who knows future theory? You know, all right, let's 387 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 6: go Yankees. 388 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 2: Future is definitely bright for Ben Rice. There was a 389 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: report today that they expect John Carlos Stanton back sometime 390 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: in June. Now this is not official, right, but he's 391 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: trying to get better more quickly, you know, maybe trying 392 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: to get back sometime in mid May. But I say 393 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: no rush, because Ben Rice is absolutely crushing the baseball. 394 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 2: If I were him, I would be taking reps at 395 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: third base every chance I got take ground balls over there. 396 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: I know, it's not easy to pick up, but anything 397 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 2: to get my bat in the lineup. We know he 398 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: can fill in at first base, but Goldsmith plays every day. 399 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 2: He's done a good job defensively, and he's hitting three 400 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 2: fifty with an eight to sixty ops. There's no reason 401 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 2: to take about and he's a professional hitter. And you know, 402 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: if if Stanton's available, the yankses are gonna put him 403 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: in the line at most of the time because he's 404 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: so dangerous, especially against lefties. So really, I think the 405 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: Yankees have two options, maybe three. You can make Ben 406 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 2: Rice a combination backup catcher and send you know, Escara 407 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: down slash DH slash pinch hitter slash first baseman fill 408 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: in and just kind of keep him all over the 409 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: place and risks screwing up his bat. You can go 410 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: with the platoon of him and Stanton, where Stanton against lefties, 411 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 2: Rights against righty's, which is what I would probably do. 412 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 2: Or you could find a spot for Rights, whether it's 413 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 2: third base or whatever. But I don't think the Yankees 414 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: want to do that with their defense they've got. They've 415 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: had defensive problems the last few years, and you really 416 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: don't want to try somebody new mid season, and what 417 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: about the guys who've been playing well over there? I mean, 418 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: Cabrera has done a nice job of Cabrera's hitting three 419 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: to eight with a seven fifty seven ops. Paraza has 420 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: got one of the best gloves in the organization. I 421 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: don't think you can move those guys off at third 422 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 2: base for Rice, even if he does Rake. So I 423 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 2: think the best situation is probably the platoon that also 424 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: keeps Stanton his percentage a little bit better. I think, 425 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 2: you know, he struggles a lot against righty's, especially writers 426 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: who have that nasty slider. Okay, so you take that away. 427 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 2: You basically you're using up an extra spot with a 428 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: guy who can't really do anything. That's John Carlow. But 429 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 2: it's just the situation you're gonna have to go with. 430 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: You probably send down Parazza or trade him or something 431 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 2: like that, and you use that spot for Stanton and 432 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: then you do a platoon. That's how I do it. 433 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 4: Hey, great show. 434 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 5: Derek Frank from California wondering why the Yankees aren't stealing 435 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 5: more basis I understand we don't want to steal in 436 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 5: front of Judge who want to bring him home. 437 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: With the Homer and uh, but Jazz comes from Caprera, 438 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,439 Speaker 3: won't these guy wis they're. 439 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 2: Not trying to steal? I know we'll wait, so I'm 440 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: not ragging. 441 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 3: But I'm just curious. 442 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 5: I thought we're more athletic where we're going to steal 443 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 5: us some more basis? 444 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: Your thoughts, Thank you, great. 445 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 4: Show, Yankees. 446 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 2: We've had a number of calls recently about the Yankees 447 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 2: not stealing as many basses. Look, I mean, as long 448 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: as they're finding ways to score, won't be stolen base tonight. 449 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 450 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: You know, Jazz has a number of stolen bases, And 451 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 2: I think guys in cold weather don't like to steal bases. 452 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,119 Speaker 2: You just don't feel like your muscles are loose. You know, 453 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 2: those explosive movements on the basis in cold weather. You 454 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: know how you can lead to hamstring injuries and things 455 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: like that. So I think you see the bulk of 456 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: stolen bases come during the hotter months. At least that's 457 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: you know, from my experience what I've seen. 458 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 6: But we'll see, say Marssa from Long Island, Heresa correct 459 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 6: me if I'm wrong, But the Yankees needs to stop 460 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 6: trying these experiments where they pick up you know, players 461 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 6: that have been released from teams or dfade like y'r 462 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 6: bro He has not had a single good outing and 463 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 6: he was released from the Blue Jays minor league system. 464 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 6: Why are we picking up guys that are released from 465 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 6: minor league systems, even with the whole. 466 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: That see this guy, I forget his initial Yeah. The 467 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: reason they do that is that's where they can spend 468 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 2: on the margins. They can take on somebody's salary for 469 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: a little bit and keep them for a month or 470 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 2: so and then cut them and it doesn't matter because 471 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 2: it's such a small amount of money to them. Essentially, 472 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 2: Yarborough is a disposable arm right something, and so was 473 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 2: out of Vino Right who they might have to re 474 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: sign out. Seeing how much the bullpen pitch today, Yarbrough 475 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 2: went two and two thirds, I would and give up 476 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: six hits. Wouldn't shock me. If Yarborough gets DFA and 477 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: they bring back, you know, out of no after this, 478 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 2: you know, I could see them doing that or someone 479 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 2: of that. Ilk Right. Pitchers are disposable to Brian Cashman 480 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 2: at a certain level, and I think it's part of 481 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 2: the Yankee philosophy to have one or two spots in 482 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 2: the bullpen that you can rotate out with guys being 483 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: dfaed or released. It's kind of built into the cake. 484 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: Got a call back Royals man. 485 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: That was a fun series to watch actually with the 486 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: Royals there, at least if you're one of us Yankee fans, 487 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: that was awesome. We don't have too. 488 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: Many of those usually throughout a year. 489 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 1: Like just a solid series against a playoff worthy. 490 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: Opponent and uh we just come to show up every 491 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: single game that was played. That was awesome, fun to watch. 492 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to say and ask a question, but first 493 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: I would say that it's was great to see uh 494 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt back. My my little bit of a fear 495 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: with this team anyway when we started the season was 496 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: that the pitching excuse me, starters and relievers were a 497 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: little bit light. The Freed signing was awesome and who 498 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: would have really thought to this point in the season 499 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: we wouldn't really miss Garrett Cole as far as you know, 500 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: an ace on the team when we had Freed. 501 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: That has just been awesome. The dude's been great. 502 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: Which leads me to my quick question for you, what's 503 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: the what's the part of this team that you're worried. 504 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 6: About the most. 505 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,719 Speaker 3: Is it the length of the lineup, Is it the 506 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 3: balance of the lineup, Is it the relieving core of 507 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 3: this team or the starters. 508 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: I'm just here, it's a starting pitching. To answer your question, Brian, 509 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 2: you know, Warren is a guy who's learning. You know, 510 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: we've got Freed who's been amazing this year, but also 511 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: he's been fragile in his career and at some point 512 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 2: he's gonna have to probably miss a couple of starts 513 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 2: just to keep him healthy. I mean, he makes about 514 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: twenty nine to thirty starts, which means probably gonna miss 515 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: a couple. Rodin has been absolute terrible. I mean it's 516 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:36,959 Speaker 2: just been awful. 517 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 6: Carlos London is so ass. 518 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: Cookie carrasco up and down. I still feel like this 519 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: team needs one more good starting pitcher. And Luis heal 520 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: coming back is no guarantee. They just had to push 521 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: him back ten days because the MRI revealed that he 522 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: wasn't healed up one hundred percent. So yeah, the starting 523 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: pitching is what worries me the most. Appreciate the call. 524 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 2: Last call, Hey, Derek, the same situation. 525 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 4: I have some observations to make about Trent Grisham when 526 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 4: he first got on the team. Uh with So we 527 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 4: won't call it the you know who trade, but we're 528 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 4: going to call it the Trent the Trent Grisham trade instead. 529 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: He had an interview with the host and he had 530 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 4: mentioned something about the mental game and he was going 531 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 4: through some issues with it. I think he's one of 532 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 4: those players. They had actually mentioned it again during the Yes, Yes, 533 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 4: announcers had mentioned not that he had issues, but he 534 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 4: was talking to like some sort of sports psychologists. I 535 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 4: mean that was a big concern when he first came 536 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 4: over here in the Yankees, because I guess he's been 537 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 4: known as being the having I don't say mental issues, 538 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 4: but either if you have to have a certain mentality 539 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 4: during the game. I mean you were a baseball player 540 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 4: or you had a lot of experience in it, you 541 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 4: know that mentally. Baseball is a huge game when it 542 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 4: comes to that. 543 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, baseball is a game of failure. You think about 544 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: it this way. If you fail seven out of ten 545 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: times as a hitter, you're a three hundred hitter. You know, 546 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 2: most guys fail eight times out of ten. You have 547 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 2: to be able to brush it off. And he's a 548 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 2: guy who's never had like a great average, he's never 549 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: had great stats, been a great defender. He's a low 550 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: heartbeat guy. But I think he's a guy who probably 551 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: put pressure on himself. And now you know what, he's 552 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: being aggressive. He's hitting earlier in the count, not letting 553 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 2: him get to those you know, deep counts where he 554 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 2: can strike out or make a week out. He's being 555 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: more aggressive, and you know, success builds confidence. So hopefully 556 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 2: he continues to play well. All right, ladies and gentlemen. 557 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: Once again, as this tradition, Yankees win this one game over. 558 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 2: Final comment o the night goes to Mike Desi's Goldschmid 559 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: hasn't even hit for power yet, and Bellinger and Jazz 560 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 2: are going to get better. One hundred percent agree. Their 561 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 2: offense is gonna get better. I agree, And that's gonna 562 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: make it even harder to avoid pitching to Aaron Judge 563 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: because he's gonna come up with more guys on base. 564 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 2: So and I think you know Dominguez is gonna get better. 565 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see Volpie get better. Could be 566 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: a fun season plan B could end up working out 567 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 2: pretty well. Right now, Yankees still in first place as 568 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: we take a quick look at the standings before we 569 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 2: sign off.
