1
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: One to pull up fiftrol.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. It's our favorite

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: time of year, West Coast trip time, and we're gonna

4
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: have a game tonight at ten pm, so the recap

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: will be, you know, twelve forty five in the morning,

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, we'll have Terrence on from the

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: West Coast as we always do Friday nights. I'm genuinely

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: interested to see what major League baseball looks like in

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: a minor league ballpark, because I haven't watched any of

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: the A's games this year. I don't even know if

11
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: you can call them home games. I mean they're temporary

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: home games, like you know, French couch games. Anyway, I

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 2: want everyone to be prepared for a tougher series than

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: we would typically expect against the A's. Although the A's

15
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: have played us pretty well in recent years, they're playing

16
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: good this year, and they're sending out a couple of

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: really good pitchers. We'll talk about the pitching matchup. They

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: have obviously one of the hardest throwers in all of

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: baseball at the back end of their bullpen, Mason Miller,

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: probably maybe second hardest thrower in the game behind the

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: guy from the Angels with Ben Joyce say his name,

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: But I really think that if the Yankees play well

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: and pitch well, they should be able to take at

24
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 2: least two out of three. Tonight would be the game

25
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: you worry the most about because we've got Will Warren

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: on the mound, and full disclosure, I've got a little

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: bit of a cold right now, and so I'm a

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: little bit medicined up, and so if I call him

29
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Adam Warren, it's just that it's more medicine. Then I'm

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: more medicine than man right now. So my brains it's

31
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: a little foggy. But anyway, we've got somebody coming back.

32
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: DJ Lemayhew is expect to be back pretty soon, could

33
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: be this weekend, could be against Seattle, and I think

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: we should expect him to take over at second base

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: when he's back. He's off to a good start in

36
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: his rehab assignment, hitting four seventy four nine for nineteen.

37
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: He does have one home run. Honestly, I'm a little

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: worried that his days of being able to drive the

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 2: baseball could be over with all the foot and leg

40
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 2: injuries over the last couple of years. And this is

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: honestly a surprise they're going to have him played at

42
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: second base. I'm surprised his mobility will allow that. But offensively,

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm just not sure what we can realistically expect him

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: to do. We saw him last year. He wasn't driving

45
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: the ball. He's a year older now and he's already

46
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: coming back from a leg injury. You know, as a

47
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: hitter in the major leagues, you have to have a

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: strong base, you have to have your power comes from

49
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: the ground up. But I'm not talking about home run power.

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm talking about driving the baseball, power gap, power line drive, power,

51
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 2: hitting the ball hard. That comes from having a strong foundation.

52
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 2: And once you start to have a plethora of foot

53
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: injuries of you know, broken bones and broken toes and

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff, it can be tough at that

55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: age to get back to where you were, or even

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: close to where you were. I did see some footage

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: of him in double A and Triple A, and I

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: know his numbers were great, but I didn't see a

59
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: lot to make me think that he's doing better. The

60
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: swing still seemed kind of lazy. It still seemed like soft.

61
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: I don't mean lazy in like the pejorative, like you

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: know that he's not swinging hard, not trying. I mean

63
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: it that it's it seemed kind of just ineffectual, right,

64
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I have no doubt that he can hit

65
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: minor league pitching, because he's got two batting championships. Just

66
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: on muscle memory alone, he should be able to take

67
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: down some of these, you know, nineteen twenty twenty one

68
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 2: year olds. But what happens if you put him in

69
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: there against Mason Miller, or against Luis Severino, or against

70
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: any of the number of great pitchers that the Mariners

71
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: have coming up next week. I suspect that he's going

72
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 2: to struggle. Now. I hope that he comes back and

73
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: he proves me wrong, and I hope that he becomes

74
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: the DJ that won the batting title for us, But

75
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm not optimistic about it personally. I like what we've

76
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: seen from your butt Vivas so far. I'm gonna share

77
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: with you it's very, very limited. But the stat cast stuff,

78
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: hang on just a second, I gotta share my screen here.

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: The stat cast stuff is so far promising for him

80
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: in a couple of areas and not so promising in others.

81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: So you look at the walk percentage and the chase percentage,

82
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: they're exactly in lined with the scouting report. He does

83
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: have one hit, one lonely island of a hit and

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: everything else. The hard hit percentage is good. Obviously only

85
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: made contact a couple of times, but a lot of

86
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 2: stuff is bad. The bat speeds about league average, but

87
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: he has got a very good eye. He is one

88
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: for ten to begin his major league career. I hope

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: they keep giving him opportunities. He's in the lineup tonight.

90
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: We'll go over that after we do the sponsor and

91
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and you know, as we get closer

92
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: to game time and we have more people in the chat,

93
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it. The truth ninety nine says, nah

94
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: Vivas isn't ready. I'd be curious to hear your perception

95
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: on why. I mean, he hit three point fifty in

96
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: Triple A. He's only had ten at bats, He's had

97
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: fourteen plate appearances in the major leagues. I think it's

98
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: too soon to make that assessment, I really do. But

99
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: we are going to see some solid pitching in this series.

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: Osvaldo Beato sounds like a Yankee name will be on

101
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: the mount tonight. He is two and two of a

102
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: four point seven to one ERA Last year he made

103
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: sixteen appearances, nine of which were starts five and three

104
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: record three point four to one ERA strikes out about

105
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: a hitter per inning, at least last year. He did

106
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: year before that forty eight in fifty to two thirds innings,

107
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: and this year twenty one and thirty six and a

108
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: third innings, so less. It looks like he throws about

109
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: a ninety four mile an hour fastball, which is slightly

110
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: below average for right handed pitchers in the American League.

111
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: He does have a good slider. His off speed is

112
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: in the eighty six percent tile, so he's got a

113
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: good change up the cutter and the sinker. His ground

114
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: ball percentage is in the ninth percent tile, which tells

115
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: me that his sinker, if he throws it, is not

116
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: super effective, right if you're throwing a sinker. If you're

117
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: a true sinkerballer, your ground ball percentage should be way higher.

118
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: His hard hit percentage is slightly better than the league

119
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: average in the fifty six percent tile. Not great at

120
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: keeping the ball off the all the bat. Not great

121
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: at striking out hitters this year, but let's remember when

122
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: the Yankees faced Sagano for the Baltimore Orioles he only

123
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: had nine strikeouts in like thirty innings, and then he

124
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 2: proceeded to strike out eight Yankees in about six scoreless innings,

125
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: maybe seven, So don't read too much into that. Still

126
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: kind of early for strikeout numbers and so forth. Carlos

127
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: Rodin will be on the mound in Game two tomorrow.

128
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about what we've seen from him recently.

129
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: His stat cast numbers are back to being elite. If

130
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: you go through his recent years, and I did this

131
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: once before, you watch through the year by year, you

132
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: see the guy's progression in terms of metrics. So early on,

133
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: he was kind of middle of the pack. In his

134
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: early years, he had some good stuff down, some down stuff.

135
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen more red, it starts to build up. Twenty

136
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: nineteen he was injured, didn't qualify. Twenty twenty obviously, the

137
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: COVID year didn't much. And then twenty twenty one he

138
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: put it all together and was dominant across the board.

139
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty two, same thing. But then he comes to

140
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: the Yankees twenty twenty three and really struggled. Last year.

141
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Improvements in a number of areas, especially the off speed,

142
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: and now this year everything back up to where it

143
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: was back around twenty twenty one. And we have to

144
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: give the man credit. He has gotten himself into great shape.

145
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: It says six two two fifty five, but he looks

146
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 2: like he's slimmed down a lot over the last couple

147
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: of years. He seems strong and fifty seven strikeouts in

148
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: forty eight and two thirds innings. He's throwing the fastball

149
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: a lot, but he's also mixing in the change up,

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 2: the sinker and the curveball. I think he needs to

151
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 2: use that big roundhouse curveball more get ahead early in

152
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: the count, back door breaking ball, the righty's front door

153
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: curveball to lefties. We've seen Max Freed do that. We've

154
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: seen a lot of lefties in the past. Andy Pettit

155
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: used to do that a lot. You know, I'm trying

156
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: to think of some Ted Lilly used to do that

157
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 2: a lot lefties who have that big roundhouse curve b

158
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 2: It's not a strikeout pitch, but it is a strike pitch,

159
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: and hitters are expecting something hard when you throw ninety

160
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: seven ninety eight like Carlos Rodin does, so, sneak a

161
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: curveball in their first pitch, get that easy strike one

162
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: and now you can go a sinker, a slider, a cutter.

163
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 2: You can do any number of things to give him

164
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: a different look, and then you can finish him off

165
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: with either the high fastball or the nasty slider in

166
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: the dirt. It gives you multiple ways to go after

167
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: a hitter. I really think he needs to use that

168
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: earlier in the count. And it wouldn't surprise me if

169
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: JP Sears, who were gonna see in Game two, does

170
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: that For the A's he throws a sweeper, he will

171
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: backdoor it. He's got a great start to his season

172
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: so far, four and two, two point nine to three

173
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: ERA seven games started, forty innings, thirty two strikeouts, and

174
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: his metrics are really good. He's twenty nine years old.

175
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: He was part of the Frankie Montas deal. Not a

176
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: big guy five to eleven, one eighty, but he is

177
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: a true pitcher these days. He mixes it up five

178
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: pitch mix, doesn't walk guys, is in a ninety fifth

179
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: percentile and look keeps the ball off the barrel of

180
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: the bat, keeps the exit velocity down. He's not great

181
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: at getting strikeouts, but that's not his game. His game

182
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 2: is to create soft contact. If he can, and he

183
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: does it without an outstanding fastball. He only throws ninety

184
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: two ish miles now or average fastball's ninety two point two.

185
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: It's in the twentieth percentile, so the bottom fifth of

186
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: the league, but still quite effective. We're also going to

187
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 2: see Louis Severino in this series, old friend Louis. Let's

188
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: hear it for Louie, Louie, Louie Louis. I'll always like

189
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: Louis Severino. Uh And it was a joy watching him

190
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: develop as a Yankee. I wish it had ended better

191
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: his career with the Yankees, but one and three with

192
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: the three point six to two ERA. So far this year,

193
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: eight games started, forty nine and two thirds innings, thirty

194
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts, one point two to one whip. He keeps

195
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 2: him off the barrel of the bats, something he had

196
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: trouble with in his last year with the Yankees. You

197
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: look give that era six point sixty five. He was

198
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 2: four and eight. He was tipping pitches. He went to

199
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: the Mets, he found it. He made thirty one starts

200
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: last year and he was solid. Ground ball percentage slightly

201
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: below league average, strikeout percentage below league average. So right now,

202
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: it seems like he's just basically using a pitch mix

203
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: of fastball, sinker, sweeper, cutter, change slider to create softer contact.

204
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: His average exit velocity against is, you know, a little

205
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: bit below league average, but he's not walking as many guys.

206
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: He's slightly above the league average. So I'm interested to

207
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: see what we get out of Luis Severino pitching against

208
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: US on Sunday, and the Yankees have not announced the

209
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: starter for that day. Could be Yarbro. You know, he

210
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 2: pitched well in filling in for Clark Schmidt last week.

211
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: That wouldn't surprise me. We've heard about Alan Winins, who's

212
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: had some good numbers in Triple A, and then you know,

213
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 2: Carlos Carrasco got dfaed, but he just re signed with

214
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: the organization and went back to Triple A. So technically

215
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: he's not on the forty man roster anymore. So if

216
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: the Yankees want to bring him back, they would have

217
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: to either DFA somebody or put somebody on the sixty

218
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: day IL. I'd imagine that they could do that at

219
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: some point, and they're they're they're keeping him on the

220
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: roster or on the in the organization in case they

221
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: need to do that, but I I hope we don't

222
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 2: see Cookie anymore. All right, let's go to the players

223
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: to watch. Here's my players to watch. Obviously, Trent Grisham

224
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: continues to hand out the all expenses paid, free beverage

225
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: included custom mustache.

226
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: Right.

227
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 2: I invent new adjectives for that every time. But last

228
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: ten games for home run seven RBIs ops over one

229
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: thousand and one point zero for seven. Austin Wells last

230
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: twelve games, he's got three home runs, He's got thirteen RBIs,

231
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: five of them in that one inning. But the ops

232
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: over eight hundred in that stretch. Let's hope that he

233
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: can sustain that for a while. Cody Bellinger last five games,

234
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: turning it on three sixteen average, one point zero one

235
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 2: three OPS. Not in the starting lineup tonight. He is

236
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: on my thumbnail. I hate when I do that, When

237
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 2: I create the thumbnail and then the line it comes

238
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: out in the guy's night in there. But maybe we'll

239
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: see him. Maybe. And then Anthony Vopi last eleven games,

240
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: hitting three hundred with an eight to fifty six OPS

241
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: seems to be taking less of a power approach. I'm

242
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: gonna pull up Anthony Volpi's stat cast metrics too, because

243
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: he continues to be just a interesting player. And you

244
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: look at the base running value, it's above average, hitting

245
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: values above average this year, fielding run value it has

246
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: taken a dip down. Actually, he's had some errors. I

247
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: feel like his range is a little bit below and

248
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 2: you look at the fielding he's he's been below league

249
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: average this year as a fielder. So when you hear

250
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: people saying, oh, he's an amazing fielder, well this year

251
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: he really hasn't been. But again, sample size is kind

252
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: of He's hitting two twenty nine right now, three thirteen OBP,

253
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: five home runs, five stolen bases, so on pace you're

254
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: probably you know, twenty twenty again. But the power is

255
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: taking a tip tick down as he's adjusted to hitting

256
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: more balls up the middle. This is where I want

257
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: to see his scatter pattern of hits, right where it is.

258
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: You see all these these are line drives right up

259
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: the middle, towards the right of second base. That's his game.

260
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: I'd be fine if he just did that most of

261
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: the year and that was most of his hits. Take

262
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: second run the base as well. Do want him to

263
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: tighten up his defense a little bit, especially in big spots.

264
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: So that's where we're at players to watch. Let's get

265
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: your predictions in the chat. I'm gonna fire up mine

266
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: real quick.

267
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: This bill wish its.

268
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: So Cody Bellinger, even though he's not in the starting line,

269
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: if we're going out on a limb, I'm saying, Pinch

270
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: hit home run for Cody Bellinger tonight, Pinch hit home

271
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: run for Big Cody. He had that clutch home run

272
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: the other night. Now, this would necessitate probably the Yankees

273
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: being down in the game. It would also necessitate a

274
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: situation arising for him to hit. But when I put

275
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: him on the thumbnail, I committed to the to the

276
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: Nostra Derek pick. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It is

277
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: what it is. Let's get your Let's get your comments

278
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: in the chat. Lori c says she just can't trust

279
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: volpie CTC Card says Josh had a bad April last year,

280
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: Belly had a bad April this year. It happens one

281
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: hundred percent correct. Ct also says that Belly will deliver

282
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: if he gets in the game. The Truth says he

283
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: wonders how much Trent Grisham is going to get paid.

284
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 2: Trent Grisham also having a very nice year, according to

285
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: stad cast ten home runs. Tom says he wishes that

286
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: we still had JP sears you and me both, how

287
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: you and me both, Peter says Hugh, I've never been

288
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: so wrong in my whole life. Do it ahead of time,

289
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: O life and all right, we're waiting on those predictions.

290
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Get them in, get them into the chat. I'm gonna

291
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: fire up the ad. Then we'll come back. We'll go

292
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: over the lineup and your predictions injust.

293
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: Am Todd father. Remember the good old days when we

294
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: would have the cards and the binders, but then they'd

295
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: get all messed up and we're trying to sell online

296
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: and it's just real clunky. They really actually weren't the

297
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: good old days, were they?

298
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: No, they were definitely not. But now there's a better way.

299
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: The Arena club has been dominant with this. They you

300
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: get to trade your card, you could sell them, but

301
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: the best part for me is getting them graded. I

302
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: love everything about that, this new age of getting cards graded.

303
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: You could display them on your online showroom, your mobile device.

304
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: It's the coolest thing in.

305
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: The world, whether you're buying, selling, trading, or displaying. Arena

306
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: Club is the all in one trading card platform. You

307
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 3: have to sign up for an account at Arena club

308

00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: happy to put it together. Let's go ahead and take

320
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: a look at the lineup for tonight. Trent Grisham back

321
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: in the leadoff spot and he gets the thumbnail for

322
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: the Yankees. They put him, they featured him. I mean,

323
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 2: that's how well he's been swinging the bat. Aaron Judge

324
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 2: in the number two hole. I suspect he's gonna do

325
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: some damage in this ballpark. It's kind of a launching pad.

326
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: And he's from the area. He always tends to hit

327
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: well against the A's. I think he's gonna have a

328
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 2: monster series. Ben Rice at the DH spot tonight. Excuse me,

329
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: mat Medicone kicking in. I need a little nap before

330
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 2: the game tonight. We got a couple hours, but Ben

331
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Rice at the DH spot be interesting to see when

332
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: John Carlo comes back, what they do. We're still probably

333
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 2: at least a week or two away, if not more.

334
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt at first base tonight. He's another guy to

335
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. He's been swinging the back good.

336
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: Jason Dimingue is out there in left field tonight. Man,

337
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: I want you. I want Jason Dimingez to get it going.

338
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: He gets it, he gets He hits well from the

339
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: left side right, and he hasn't done much from the

340
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: right side. But we need him to go on a

341
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: little tear so that they stop sitting him. I want

342
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: him to really make an impact. We've seen flashes of

343
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 2: the talent, but he's still a little bit raw as

344
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 2: a player. Right now. Let's see. We got Anthony Vopie

345
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: at shortstop. JC Escara, the hero from the other night,

346
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 2: to walk off behind the dish. Oswaldo Cabrera is your

347
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: third basement and Orbit Vivas getting another chance at second base,

348
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: perhaps one of his final chances here before DJ Lemon

349
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: who comes back. So let's hear about your predictions and

350
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: your thoughts on tonight's line up. Gennesseee Hops says Ben

351
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: Rice home run tonight will take it. CT says six

352
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: six k's for Warren, five innings, three runs, pretty specific.

353
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: I'll sign up for that, honestly, five ings, three runs

354
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 2: from him. The Truth says Dominga is two homer game.

355
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 2: I'll sign up for that right now. Let's see here.

356
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 2: Gregory Wayne says Vope in the sixth spot, would rather

357
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: him hit ninth every day. I mean, he's a better

358
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: hitter than Oswalda, Coberra, j Cescara and your Vivas right now,

359
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 2: that's unquestionable. So right now, that's kind of a weak

360
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: bottom of the order if those guys aren't hitting, so

361
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: I don't blame them for putting Vopee in the sixth

362
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: spot tonight. Santiago Rivas says that Judge is going and deep,

363
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: we'll see info. Info says earthquake in the fourth inning.

364
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: Hope not, hope not, And yes, the baseball travels at

365
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: this ballpark. It is known as kind of a launching pad,

366
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: so you know, we'll see how it shakes out. I'll

367
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: be back after the game. We've got TK joining tonight.

368
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: We're gonna just talk through the game. I'm gonna be

369
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 2: very tired. I'm gonna not gonna lie to you folks.

370
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 2: By twelve forty five, that's way past my bedtime. So

371
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean on TK a lot to carry the

372
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: load tonight, and then hopefully I'll be back when I'm
