1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Wanted to cook. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 2: It's all, how's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do a little bit of a vibe check today. 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: Yankees fans seem rather stressed. The Yankees have lost four 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 2: straight games, back to back shutouts. They've lost a couple 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 2: of one nothing games, and things are not looking good 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: for the offense right now. The energy has been really 8 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: low for almost a week. We've got a lot of 9 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 2: guys that were red hot that have severely cooled off. 10 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: You know, Ben Rice and Trent Grisham. These are guys 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: who were very instrumental to the team's hot start this year, 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 2: and they have really fallen off. Ben Rice is down 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: to two twenty nine. How he has been unlucky, But 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: you know, launch angle matters. You know, hitting a lot 15 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: of line drives right at guys is it'll look super unlucky. 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: But elevate some of those balls, maybe we'll get back 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: into the seats. Trent Grisham has really fallen off, you know. 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmid has cooled off. Last night, I thought Bellinger 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: had a game winning home run. I mean he hit 20 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 2: a couple of balls really well, but nothing to show 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 2: for it. We had a comment that we should talk 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: more about the baseballs and how the seams are slightly 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: higher on the baseball this year, which I find absolutely ridiculous. 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 2: I mean, why can't we get the standard baseball year 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: in and year out? Every year? It seems like we're 26 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: fighting this, you know, we're fighting different baseballs. They're wound 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: too tight, they're not as tight, they're higher seams, lower seams, 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: they're too slick, they're not slick enough. I mean, I 29 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: can't keep up. Let's get a standardized baseball and just 30 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: kind of keep it the same year in and year out. 31 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: We have a lot of new subscribers recently, but we 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: also have some people who've been watching for years. And 33 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: those of you who've been watching for years know that 34 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: when the Yankees win, I go live after the show 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: and we're kind of a on Uncle Sam hat. It's 36 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: like a fourth of July cheap, stupid twenty dollars hat 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: that I got off of Amazon, and I got like 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: ten of them. Here's one back here, and there's another one. 39 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 2: The actual one is hanging on a hook up here. 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: I get a different one each year because they get 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: gross inside and you can't really watch them because they're cardboard. 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: And so maybe when I when I retire, if I 43 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: don't die in office here, maybe i'll I'll have a 44 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 2: giveaway and we'll give away some sweat stained fun hats. Anyway, 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: it's got many names, the fun hat, the Victory hat, 46 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: the Uncle Sam hat, like the Devil, many many different 47 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 2: names for this hat. And anyway, this morning, I was 48 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: cleaning up my office here and I noticed that the 49 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: Victory hat was actually collecting dust. It was actually getting dusty, 50 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: so I had to clean it off. But would be 51 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: nice if the Victory hat would not collect dust, because 52 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 2: the Yankees would win, you know, once in a while. 53 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: Fel like it's been forever, but really it's been since 54 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Thursday when they won against kc SO four straight. They 55 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: lost on Friday in the Garrett Crochet game, the Judge 56 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: home run game. They lost on Saturday and Sunday, and 57 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: then last night won to nothing in extra innings. Listen, 58 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna flush the American League East 59 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: right now, but it's getting closer than you would like 60 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 2: it to be. Every team goes through stretches like this 61 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: throughout the year. The Angels recently swept the Dodgers which 62 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 2: nobody expected. These things happen, and I'm trying to do 63 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: a better job this year of not being as reactionary 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 2: after losses and not being as high after wins and 65 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: as low after losses. Just try and keep a steady pace, 66 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 2: because you know, it gets exhausting to be super high 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: and then super low and go back and forth, and 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: to be down for what could be weeks at a 69 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: time when you know what's gonna happen. I'm just trying 70 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: to mentally prepare myself for it and kind of keep 71 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: on an even keel. And that's what I'm trying to 72 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: give audience. That's the vibe I'm trying to put out 73 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: there to my audience. Stay cool, We're goud be all right. 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: Right when I was just a fan and not a 75 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: podcaster who was in front of people after every single game, 76 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: it didn't really matter how low or I got or 77 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: how high I got. I you know, I have to 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: remain steady, though, So that's why I'm trying to kind of, 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: you know, back you guys off the ledge a little bit, 80 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: so you know, we've seen this before. The Yankees will 81 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: be okay, This too shall pass. Laur ceesays, no, dust 82 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: allowed on the fun hat. I got to update all 83 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: my sounds. I've only got like two sounds. I got 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: win loss, I've got the great answer, which is, you 85 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: know this this thing. I've got the run and I've 86 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: got the applause. I've got like so many sounds that 87 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: I haven't added since I rebuilt the show, and I'm 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: trying to rebuild everything to be a slicker. You know, 89 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 2: you got to keep up with current trends, right. I 90 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: mean I saw that Apple liquid glass came out and 91 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: I was like, damn, that's a really cool idea. So 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: I went ahead and kind of rebuilt the show in 93 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 2: that vein kind of rounded corners on everything, some see through, 94 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: just kind of trying to make it feel different. So 95 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: like if you change the backdrop, So for instance, if 96 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: I decided I wanted to go with Yankee Stadium at dusk, 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: you see how it changes. It becomes kind of translucent. 98 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: That's what I was going for. And I mean, so 99 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 2: far it looks pretty good. I mean, I can change 100 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: this is a Yankee Stadium exterior shot, and then we've 101 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: got the standard city shot and I'm going to add 102 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: more things in just so that we can kind of 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: keep it fresh on every scene. But anyway, sorry if 104 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 2: you guys don't really care about the minor minute details 105 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 2: of designing a podcast. But it's part of the reason 106 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: I love doing this. It's part of the things that 107 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: I find fun. So let's talk Little Yankees baseball? Shall we? 108 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: Good morning at Joe from Jersey. I have a question 109 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: for you. This is my biggest pet peeve in baseball. 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: Hitting the first pitch, Swinging on the first pitch when 111 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: bases are loaded and there's two outs. Okay, A couple 112 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: of weeks ago against y'a Momoto, Well did it? Now? 113 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: Do you blame the manager? I mean, work the count. 114 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: Shouldn't someone say, hey, work the count? 115 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: Kids? 116 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean you have four ways to get on base, 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: hit by a pitch, a wild pitch, a pass ball, 118 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: or a walk. I mean, I don't understand. Can you 119 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: elaborate on this. Y'a Momoto a couple of weeks ago, 120 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: could not find the strike zone last night? There's no 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: reason is when that's the first pitch, you're gonna get 122 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: something ahead, so walk in and run? Why does everybody 123 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: need to be the hero? And who's responsible for this? 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: I appreciate I appreciate the call. So you're absolutely right 125 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: that the strategy in baseball has some somewhat shifted over 126 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: the years. You know, it used to be that you 127 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: wanted to make the pitcher work and try and put 128 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: pressure on the pitcher with the bases loaded in that situation. 129 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 2: The intention was to get them to groove a fastball, 130 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: like you said. But there's a couple of things that 131 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: have changed. One, the way hitters have been trained to 132 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: hit has kind of changed. They're hunting zones now, especially 133 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: with fastball, so if you see something there, it's almost 134 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: reflexive to swing at certain pitches at certain times. And 135 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: you know, you don't have as much time to make 136 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 2: a decision these days because guys throw harder, you know, 137 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: guys throwing ninety eight ninety nine miles an hour. It 138 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: can be really difficult to lay off some of these things. 139 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: And getting a guy to throw fastball isn't always a 140 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: sure thing deep into counts anymore. Guys are thrown all 141 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 2: sorts of pitches, all sorts of spin, change up, airbenders, 142 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 2: everything at all counts these days. It's very very tricky. 143 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 2: And I mean, look, the thing that bothers me is 144 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: when someone swings at a slider or a breaking pitch 145 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: early in the account in a hitting situation, because then 146 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: you're just kind of giving into the pitcher, right, You're 147 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: taking what the pitcher is giving you instead of forcing 148 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: the action. But it's easy for us to comment from 149 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 2: the side lines. I say all the time that he 150 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: should have done this, he should have done that. But 151 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: it's really hard. I mean, there's how many billion people 152 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: on the planet right now? What at like eight billion people, right, 153 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: I mean, and only about seven hundred and fifty of 154 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: them are Major League baseball players. This is a very 155 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: small group of human beings that can do what these 156 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: guys do, and I think sometimes we criticize them with incredulity, 157 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: like how can you swing at the first pitch when 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: we don't realize how hard it is to do this, 159 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 2: and how hard it is to lay off of certain 160 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: pitches and how little reaction time you have. I remember 161 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: going up to hit in high school against this kid 162 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: named Jason Naberball and you can look him up. He 163 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: was a top top draft pick, ended up going to 164 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. He was a guy who threw one hundred 165 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 2: plus miles an hour, and I remember getting in there 166 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 2: to hit and thinking, all right, I'm gonna start my 167 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 2: swing early because and then all of a sudden it's 168 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 2: in there. I was like, wow, okay, that gets on 169 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: you quick. And the next one a art, I'm gonna 170 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: be ready for this. Ooh yeah, that guy in there 171 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: quick too, And before you know, it's oh two, change 172 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: up and I actually was still late on it and 173 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 2: I hit a groundball. But you know, we we think 174 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: it's super easy, but it's very, very difficult hitting a baseball. 175 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: Any professional athlete will tell you it's the hardest thing 176 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: to do in sports. So but but you're right. The 177 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 2: thing I loved about those nineties teams was that they 178 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: were grinders. You know. They would make the pitcher work 179 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: early in the game and tack on runs here and there. 180 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: You know, by the fifth or sixth they already had 181 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: a couple of sack flies. 182 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: You know. 183 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: They they would get the pitcher out of the game 184 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: and try and pull away so that every game wasn't 185 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: do or die, you know, and you give Mariano a 186 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 2: three run lead and it was pretty much over this. 187 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: These days, we don't have that luxury this This team 188 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: doesn't score in that way. You pretty much have to 189 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: be mashing the baseball. And when you go through these 190 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: team slumps where everybody's cool at the same time you 191 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 2: can look really bad. You gotta call about a young 192 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: players dirt. 193 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 4: It's Jackian. Yes, you were so right. I need to 194 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 4: come off the age in the first place. It's almost 195 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: time for an All Star break for the tired players 196 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: to get a small reset. 197 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 5: Uh, Aaron Judge, you can't carry the team every game. 198 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 4: You need to help. Plus there's another thing that they 199 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 4: haven't put into the mix. A lot of the players 200 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 4: that are playing, they're young, they're developing. Yes, they'll make mistakes, 201 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 4: but that's baseball. Thanks, I love your. 202 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: Show, appreciate the call. Yeah, I think sometimes we expect 203 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: these young players to be finished products right away. But 204 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 2: like they always say, development is not linear, and even 205 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 2: when you do fully develop, you're not going to come 206 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: through every time. I mean, look at Aaron Judge. He 207 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: is the greatest player in the world, definitely the best 208 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: hitter in the world. And even he has stretches where 209 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 2: he doesn't get a and even he has stretches where 210 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 2: he doesn't come up in a big spot or doesn't 211 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: come through in a big spot. That's life. That's baseball. 212 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 2: It's a difficult game. If you fail seventy five percent 213 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: of the time, your average. If you fail seventy percent 214 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 2: of the time, you're elite. So I mean, I agree 215 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: with you, the earl of demise pointing out that here's 216 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: the thing. It's becoming consistent every summer one one twenty 217 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 2: seven over June, July, and August, dating back to twenty 218 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: twenty two. The problem is becoming a trend. I appreciate 219 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: the chat, and you're absolutely right. We talked about this 220 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: on a pregame show, you know, maybe a week ago 221 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: that you know, the Yankees needed to avoid the June swoon, 222 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: and you were looking at this month as a potential 223 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: soft spot. I mean, you got La is not that good. 224 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: Baltimore is beatable, Cincinnati's beatable, the Athletics are bad. I mean, 225 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 2: all you you beat k See three in a row. 226 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: All you really needed to do was take one game 227 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 2: in Boston and then two out of three or sorry, 228 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: maybe maybe three out of four from the Angels, two 229 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: out of three from Baltimore, and all of a sudden, 230 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 2: you're not gonna have a bad month, right, But getting 231 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: swept by Boston, losing the Angel last night. All of 232 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: a sudden, you're staring down the barrel of a tough June. 233 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 2: But here's another call. 234 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,719 Speaker 6: Head from Brooklyn again, what's up with these guys? They 235 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 6: don't know how to play winning baseball. Years ago, Toy 236 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,599 Speaker 6: and Zimmer used to sit these guys down in the 237 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 6: dugout and talk to them about strategy, how to play 238 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 6: the game the right way. The Dynasty Yankees were all great. 239 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 6: They will all clutch from top to bottom. We don't 240 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 6: have any clutchings on this team. We have Stanton clutch 241 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 6: and everybody else pot luck. Someone has to go sism 242 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 6: vote rise, do mingas. We need a pitcher and a reliever, 243 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 6: and they're gonna be asking, well. 244 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: The problem the last few days, to stop you right there, 245 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: has not been the pitching or the relief pitching. The 246 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: starting pitching has been phenomenal, it's been terrific. The relief 247 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 2: pitching has been okay, I mean, no huge problems. The 248 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: problem has been the offense. The problem has been that 249 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 2: the bats are dragging. I want to show you the stats. 250 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put up the stats. We've got a lot 251 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: of guys now hitting under two fifty, wells hitting two 252 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: twenty I still am a believer in batting average. I know, 253 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 2: not everybody does. I know some people think it's a 254 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: stupid stat I think it matters. You know, ops matters too, 255 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 2: But I like consistent hits Wells hitting two twenty, Chism 256 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 2: hitting two twenty five, though we did have three hits 257 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,719 Speaker 2: last night, Volpi hitting two forty one. Cabrera out of 258 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 2: this out for the season, doesn't matter. Dominga is down 259 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: to two thirty six, Grisham down to two forty three. 260 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: He was hitting like three to ten for first two 261 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: months of the year. Judge has lost twenty three points 262 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks, hitting three seventy seven, 263 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: Ben Rice two twenty nine, Cody Bellinger forty seven, Paroz 264 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: Is hitting one sixty. I mean, when you play him, 265 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: you're basically putting in a pitcher to play third base. 266 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 2: Le Maye two to fifty, scar at two thirty. Vivas 267 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 2: not on the team right now. Rey is gone stanton 268 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: five hundred baby. Yeah, So I'm not blaming this at 269 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: all on the pitchers, but we've got to get some 270 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: better offense going. You know, Goldsmith has fallen all the 271 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 2: way to three h nine. He was in about three 272 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: point fifty for a long time, so it's average falling 273 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: forty points. Guys are regressing to the mean. That's what 274 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: that's called. Got a call from Connor. 275 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 3: Derek, what's up, bro? 276 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 7: Connor? From your jersey again?

It's like clockwork with this team and 279 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: Aaron Boom at the hell they always struggle every single 280 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: time at this time of year. And then no luck Doellinger. 281 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 3: I thought walked it off with that three run shot 282 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 3: football just getting cost Jazz. 283 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 7: That third, I mean awful, and then Clark having the 284 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 7: game of his white and then bring him him. I 285 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 7: don't know what we're gonna do, but we need to 286 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 7: do something. 287 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 3: Fasts. 288 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 2: What you gotta do is win.

Gotta hit. An injection of energy 292 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: would be nice, but I'm not sure where it comes from. 293 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: I mean, Stanton came in last night injected some energy, 294 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: but you gotta have somebody else to, like, you know, 295 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: to help feed off of it. I mean, if he 296 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 2: was getting those hits with guys on Base. Yeah, we'll 297 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: be all right.

To you look back at the 349 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 5: ninth Inny, you know we thought there were it was 350 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 5: momentum fan a double. The mean is you're making out 351 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 5: on the bases. 352 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: That's not good.

Appreciate the call, Listen, there's no way 358 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 2: past it. But through it, you got to just figure 359 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: out to score some runs. If that means bunting, if 360 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: that means hit and run, if that means juggling the lineup. 361 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: I think the lineup is too different every day. I 362 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,719 Speaker 2: think that's a problem. I mean, you look at teams 363 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: like the Dodgers, right, they run the same guys out there. Now, 364 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: granted they're like superstars, but I think getting into a 365 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: consistent rhythm is important, and players will tell you it's important, right. 366 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 2: You don't have to take my word for it. Players 367 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 2: want to be in a routine and when you disrupt 368 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: that routine daily, I think it really causes problems, really does. 369 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: So we'll be back after the game tonight, Angels Yankees, 370 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: Game two of a four game set.
