1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,639 Speaker 1: Just going to pull cap child. 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 2: How's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back, July twenty fourth, 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: and the Yankees exist in a state of chaos. Tonight 4 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: is going to be mostly a listener driven podcast. We've 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: got so many voicemails that I literally couldn't listen to 6 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: them all. I sat down at seven pm tonight and 7 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: started going through all of them, and I still have 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 2: like fifteen left that I didn't get to. This is 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 2: the most voicemails we've ever gotten, and it's clear that 10 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: Yankees fans are not feeling good about things right now. 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: As you will see, last night was arguably the Yankees' 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 2: most important game of the season, and not only did 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: they lose, but they turned in probably their sloppiest performance 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: of the year. They're just so clunky, and I think 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: we just expect better for three hundred million. Right, For 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: the amount of dollar, where is that this organization puts 17 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: into the payroll every year. I'm not gonna fault house 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: Timebrenner for that. He puts in three hundred million dollars 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: a year. You should be able to play fundamental baseball 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: for that money. Right, The budget does not match the 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: performance or the product. I've been thinking a lot lately 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: about this quote from a movie review that I read 23 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: a while back. You guys know that I'm kind of 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: like a history fan, but I'm also a movie fan. 25 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: And in the eighties, before they found the Titanic, there 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: was this movie called Raise the Titanic. It was based 27 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: on a novel by Clive Cussler, I believe, and good book, 28 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: really really bad movie, and it was way way over budget. 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: And the review for this movie was, it would have 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 2: been cheaper to lower the Atlantic. The movie was Raised 31 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: the Titanic, and the movie or the review was it 32 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic. And I 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: just I think that's funny because it's like this enormous 34 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: budget and the product totally sucks, and it just reminds 35 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 2: me of the Yankees right now. We have this three 36 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 2: hundred million dollar payroll and we can't play defense, and 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: all of our minor leaguers that we bring up have. 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 3: Problems, big glaring issues. 39 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: You know, and it just makes you wonder, is this 40 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: the best that three hundred million dollars can buy? But 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: you know what's worse is I get the distinct feeling 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 2: that the Yankees are about to double down on home 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: run or nothing and trade for Aju Henneo Suarez from 44 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks. There was also some reports today that Ben 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: Rice is on the trade block, or at least teams 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: are asking about Ben Rice, which I find interesting that 47 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: somebody's interested in our homegrown talent. I personally don't want 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 2: to trade Ben Rice, even though we had a tough 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 2: day defensively yesterday. 50 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 3: He's sitting about two thirty or whatever. 51 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 2: I think he's got a bright future as a hitter. 52 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: I think he traded me becomes a perennial thirty five 53 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: home run guy. He seems humble, he seems intelligent, his 54 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: metrics are crazy good. It's just a launch angle thing. 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: But according to Joel Sherman, whom I trust about as 56 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 2: much as anybody who covers the Yankees other than maybe 57 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: Jack Curry, you know a lot of teams are interested 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: in him, and they're interested in him as a catcher, 59 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: which is interesting. I was talking to our guy Terrence today. 60 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: We were reminiscing on pretty successful podcasts last night. Despite 61 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: the Yankees tough night, we had over twenty four thousand views. 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: We got a bunch of new subscribers, so welcome to 63 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: all of you. But we were talking about it, and 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: he's into the retooling at the trade deadline thing, like 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: he wants to go out and get some major league pieces, 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: and I'm leaning more into we should sell. 67 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: We should sell. 68 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: I mean, it would suck to give up on the 69 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: season two months early, and Cashman never does that. I 70 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: mean twenty sixteen was the last time I can remember 71 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: him selling. But long term for the Yankees, I think 72 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: it's a better move. And then you gotta get rid 73 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: of Cashman and Boone after the season for sure. I 74 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: mean that's just obvious trade. Grisham, trade Devin Williams. See 75 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: if you can get anything for Anthony Volpi, maybe even 76 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt. I'm not above trading Austin Wells if you 77 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: think you can get for him, get something for him. 78 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: I bet you can get something for Carlos Rodan, maybe 79 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: help you trim some payroll to reorganize this roster a 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 2: little bit. I know he's pitched great, That's why you 81 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: trade him. Teams will want him. You might be able 82 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: to get something for him. Have people bidding on one 83 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: of our guys for a change, Have prospects coming in 84 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: instead of going out. If I were Brian Cashman, I 85 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: would trade anybody that I could get a quality triple 86 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: A prospect who's on the cusp of making the major 87 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 2: leagues for, you know, anybody who has a reputation of 88 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: being fundamentally sound, who has a reputation of having a 89 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: high baseball IQ. Maybe some guys who are contact oriented 90 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: who don't strike out that much. I know that sounds 91 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: like a lot, and it doesn't sound like an exciting deadline, 92 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: But I think if you're a true Yankees fan and 93 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 2: you recognize that you want the team to get back 94 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: to what it was when it was great, you've got 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: to change the style of play, you know. And I'm 96 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 2: not talking about trading for somebody with legendary batspeed like 97 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: Clint Fraser who didn't know how to play baseball. I'm 98 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: talking about playing or trading for actual baseball players, the 99 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 2: type of guys that winning organizations need to develop, and 100 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: that the Yankees do not develop. They've built their entire 101 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: system around hitting for exit velocity that is clear or 102 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: hitting home runs. I'm not sure that there's a stronger 103 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: correlation than what we see right now. These guys come 104 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: up with these massive exit velocities, you know, and they 105 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: they can't do anything else. And it's not just the 106 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: mind way these guys we bring in. It's like all 107 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: they care about is how hard you can hit the ball, 108 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: and not how well you can hit, not how well 109 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: you can field, not how well you you can run 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 2: the bases. Now, I don't think there's a stronger correlation 111 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: between exit velocity and winning as you think. I think 112 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 2: it comes down to baseball. I think it comes down 113 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 2: to quality play. There was a great comment, I think 114 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: it was the top comment on the video last night 115 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: that said, in that series, the Yankees hit seven home runs, 116 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 2: the blue Jays hit one. The Yankees made seven errors, 117 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: the blue Jays made one, and that's. 118 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 3: All the difference. 119 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: So you know, maybe with more home runs you make 120 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs more often. But I think with a more 121 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 2: well rounded team you have a better chance when you 122 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 2: get there. You know, mix in some power hitters, you know. 123 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,799 Speaker 2: By the way, Spencer Jones hit three more home runs today. 124 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:45,119 Speaker 3: Three. 125 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 2: He's got thirteen home runs in like nineteen double a 126 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 2: game or triple A games. Insane anyway, dudes on fire. 127 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: But things are not looking good for the Yankees. They're 128 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 2: fifty six and forty six. They're in second place, but falling. 129 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: They lost two out of three, they lost three out 130 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: of seven to the J's, and the sloppiness has been awful. 131 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: We're seeing more and more fans call for Aaron Boone's head, 132 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: and a lot of it is due to is not 133 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 2: only like the lack of accountability towards players and the 134 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: repeated mistakes, but the way he just hand waves the 135 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: media right. Communications is a huge part of the managerial job. 136 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: It is a huge part of the job. And like 137 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: I said before, New Yorkers have a very finely calibrated 138 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 2: bullshit detector and we're not going to listen to bs 139 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: from this guy anymore. 140 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 3: We're done with it. We're finished with it, right, what's 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 3: all right there in front of us. 142 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 2: So let's take some voicemails real quick. We got a 143 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: bunch of them. 144 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 3: It's just a reaction. Must start with Stephen from Italy. 145 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 4: Hi, Derek, it's Stephen from Italy. I wanted to bring 146 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: up two big things. The first is a point that 147 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: taking made on your program last night about the organization 148 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: the Yankees not respecting the fans' opinions. And pardon me 149 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 4: for being a little intellectual because I was a college 150 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: professor for thirty years. But there's a dialogue by Plato 151 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: where there's a debate between protagonists and Socrates. Protagonist defends 152 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: democracy democracy against Socrates, who wants experts to run everything. 153 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: And protagonist says, well, yeah, an architect, you know, knows 154 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: how to build a house, and a chef knows how 155 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 4: to cook. But shouldn't the person have to eat the 156 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: meal or live in the house have a say in 157 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 4: whether it's any good? So the fans have a right 158 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: to an opinion. The second thing is that why I 159 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 4: think the Yankees are so married to analytics is that 160 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: they had organizational trauma when they lost to Boston in 161 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 4: two thousand and four, and for a couple of years 162 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: they try to just compete with money. But then some 163 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 4: analyses come out, like in the book you know about 164 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 4: Joe Touri or by jro Toy the Yankee Years that 165 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 4: said that the Yankees fell behind an analytics. So then 166 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 4: like General's those thing that General are always preparing for the 167 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 4: last war, the Yanks, it's one all in an analytics 168 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 4: as a response, and they're still there preparing for like 169 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 4: the two thousand and four war, with Boston, you know, 170 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 4: reacting to that trauma where analytics is old, they know, 171 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 4: so it's basically, we know this player can do this 172 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 4: or does this thing. We have talent and they've forgotten 173 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 4: all about you know, fundamentals. But you know, remember that 174 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 4: Derek Jeter knew to be where he was on that 175 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: great play, you know where he made the toss to Posada. 176 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 4: I mean, the difference in that team and the team 177 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: today is incredible. Anguage keep up the great work and uh, let's, 178 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 4: you know, hope something changes. 179 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: But here's a you bring up a number of great points. 180 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: First of all, that was a fantastic call. Who is 181 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: the fundamental leader on this team? Judge is the I 182 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: guess ceremonial leader. Right, he's the captain. He hits all 183 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: the home runs, he puts up the enormous MVP numbers. Right, 184 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 2: But he's an outfielder, right, It's it's not that fundamentally 185 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: challenging to play the outfield. I mean, look at Domingos, 186 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: maybe it is, but who is the guy on this team? 187 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 2: And typically it would be the shortstop or the catcher, 188 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: and you know, the shortstop is not good defensively, and 189 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: the catchers young and other than framing, he's not that 190 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: good defensively. I don't think he's got no arm, and 191 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: we've seen him make some bone head plays. I don't 192 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: know if they have like a guy who's driving the 193 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 2: defense to get better either on or off the field. Right, 194 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: You've got to just have these type of leaders, and 195 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: the Yankees don't have one. You mentioned the two thousand 196 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: and four Red Sox. They made an interesting trade that 197 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: year where they dealt no more Garcia Para away, They 198 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: sent some other guys away. They brought in dougman Kaevich, 199 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: they brought in Orlando Cabrera, good defensive players, good ball players, 200 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: fundamentally sound guys, and they got better and they ended 201 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 2: up winning the World Series. You know, and when we 202 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 2: talk about what the Yankees could do with the deadline, 203 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: I don't think there's those guys out there, honestly. So 204 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna settle for a you, Henny Osuarez. 205 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna trade some prospects that'll come back to bite us, 206 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure. 207 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 208 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 5: I from calling in after seeing the video of Spencer 209 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 5: Jones going deep three times in one day, Rip, and 210 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 5: I think it's time we have to start. 211 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 6: Talking about do we send Jason down and bring Jones up? 212 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 7: Offensively? 213 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 8: Jason has been great. 214 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 5: He's a both average header, but defensively by both defensive 215 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 5: world saved iabol average. 216 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 6: He's been a worst defender this year than Soto. 217 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 5: Was last year. This team needs a spark. At might 218 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 5: be time coloff Jones see what he can provide. Can 219 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: he be even average defensively? If he can, that might 220 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 5: be an improvement over Jason, and it gives the kid. 221 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call all the way from Ireland. 222 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 2: It sounds like so first of all, I'm not an 223 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 2: advocate of sending Jason down. I think Jason's too good 224 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: of a hitter for triple A. I think he's had 225 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: some ups and downs in the major leagues, but he's 226 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: shown improving. You show enough improvement that I want to 227 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: stick with him. Defensively, he needs you know, he needs 228 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: some work now. Jones is an excellent defender, Okay, he 229 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: is supposedly a world class defender, so if you do 230 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: call him up, you will improve defensively. But he's a 231 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 2: center fielder. I think there's a non zero chance that 232 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: they trade Trent Grisham and bring up Spencer Jones. At 233 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: least it would inject some youth and some life into 234 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: the team. But if you look at all the home 235 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: runs that Jones has been hitting, a lot of them 236 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 2: are off of like Triple A guys that have five 237 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 2: and six e r as that somebody pointed out in 238 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 2: the comments this morning. I didn't know that, and I 239 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: looked at it, and it's just like he's hitting home 240 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: runs off a lot of bums. 241 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: You know. Here's Steve from Maine. 242 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, Hi, Derek, Steve Colin from Maine. As if we 243 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 9: didn't have enough to get kissed off about with the 244 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 9: Carlos Narva's giveaway to the Red Sox, take a look 245 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 9: at the Milwaukee Brewers' third baseman. I think you'll remember 246 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 9: this guy. His name is Caleb. He's accumulated close to 247 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 9: three wall already. 248 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 8: Take a look at his stats. 249 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 2: We're gonna pull him up here we go, all right, 250 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: we'll take a second here, all right. He has a 251 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: two point one war so not quite three. I remember 252 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: him getting off to a really really bad start, so 253 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: I pulled up his splits and what's interesting is he 254 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: has gotten way better throughout the season. You go back 255 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: and look at his first half, he hit two sixty one. 256 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: He's actually he's off to a worse this is better comparison. 257 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: He hit two o two in May JUNI at two 258 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: ninety six July three ten, and the ops has gone 259 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: from the last three months five sixty one to seven 260 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: ninety five to eight eighty four. So he's hitting, you know, 261 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 2: much better over the last few months. So uh, you know, 262 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: we could have used him, but you know, we don't 263 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: get Devin Williams without including him as part of a package. 264 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: But like I said, I would trade Devin Williams, I 265 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: would trade pretty much everybody right now, Hey. 266 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 8: Derek, it's Mark from Connecticut, and I want to say. 267 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 6: That I stand in solidarity with TK. 268 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 8: Was talking yesterday about how. 269 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 5: He's a younger Yankees fan, and I'm twenty two, and 270 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: I got to be honest, the only thing I remember. 271 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 8: Was two thousand and nine. 272 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 5: And it's crazy because we get deep runs sometimes in 273 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 5: the playoffs, but it doesn't matter what. 274 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 8: We don't win shit. Thank you, Derek. 275 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: Iago once I feel bad for these younger fans who 276 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: didn't get to experience what I experienced, you know, and 277 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: with my dad experienced. My dad was born in I 278 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 2: believe nineteen fifty and so the entire fifties when he 279 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: was growing up, the Yankees were winning all the time. 280 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: You know, they won in the sixties a few times, 281 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 2: won a couple of times in the seventies, like every 282 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: decade except for the eighties. You know, I was born 283 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 2: in eighty three, so the Yankees didn't make the playoffs 284 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 2: until I was twelve years old. When I was eleven, 285 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: in ninety four, they were in first place when the 286 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: season ended. And this is all part of the book 287 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 2: that I'm working on. It's gonna be a little bit delayed. 288 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: I've been super busy and I haven't gotten as much. 289 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: But it's still common. It's still getting worked on in 290 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: small amounts. But ninety six, I was thirteen when they 291 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: won their first one of my life, and they won 292 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: four more after that. So I feel, you know, blessed. 293 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: A lot of fans don't get to see their team 294 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: win five World Series, and so I just feel bad 295 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: for the younger fans who don't get to experience, you know, 296 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: this kind of success. 297 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 298 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 7: Second message, you know, there's way too many two hundred hitters. 299 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 7: I don't understand why guys like Beavis they don't belong 300 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 7: in the majors. Why they're not sent down and they've 301 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 7: got better trip away players bring them up like some 302 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 7: of these teams, that's the organization's Paul. You're not gonna 303 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 7: win with that kind of lineup. 304 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: What's interesting is there not many three hundred hitters left 305 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: in baseball, and the jump from Triple A to the 306 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: major leagues is enormous. We've seen a lot of guys 307 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: hit three hundred Triple A that can't do it in 308 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: the major leagues. So it's not as easy as you 309 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: make it sound. We've only won three hundred hitter in 310 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: the National League one or two right now? 311 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 7: All right, lifelong Yankee fan, and you're right, Boon, I 312 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 7: think cats to go. He ain't gonna motivate anybody like 313 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 7: a good manager should. And what beats the hell out 314 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 7: of me is why aren't you playing your A players? 315 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 7: Why is rice at first? When you have a gold glove, goldsmith? 316 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 7: Why is the scar behind the plate? You play your 317 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 7: best players in big series and Boone fails to do that. 318 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I mean, the bottom third 319 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 2: of the lineup yesterday was pretty awful. I gotta grant 320 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: you that. 321 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 8: There Blue Jay's fan here in Toronto watching a YouTube channel. 322 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 8: Love it. It's great to give a different perspective from 323 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 8: the other team. Look, I don't think your Yankees team 324 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 8: is terrible. I know. It's the same pressure we put 325 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 8: on our maple Leafs because we're so proud that's our team. 326 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 8: Yanks is your team. But I have to say your 327 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 8: Yankees are not that bad. It's just that for some 328 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 8: reason we got your number here in Toronto. It's our team. 329 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 8: Just makes your team look bad. But you play pretty 330 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 8: good ball room. 331 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: All right, I'm just gonna go ahead and trump you there. 332 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 10: Wrong. 333 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 2: There's a lot of things wrong about that. We're not 334 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: a good team. We have a lot of power hitters. 335 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: We have a lot of power and a lot of 336 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 2: guys who take pitches. That's pretty much all the Yankees 337 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 2: do well. They got a couple of decent starting pitchers 338 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 2: who are not at their best right now because we're 339 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 2: getting into the dog days of summer. But no, we're 340 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 2: not good, Derek, I. 341 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 11: Just can't figure the Yankees out. They either have a 342 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 11: ton of heart and have incredible comebacks from like nine 343 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 11: to nothing, down five to nothing in the eighth inning, 344 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 11: being no hit. Some win the game that come back 345 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 11: against the Braves other day where they I think they're down, 346 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 11: what's seven to two, and they won twelve to eight 347 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 11: of the fan last. 348 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 8: Three or four innings. 349 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 11: Absolutely unbelievable offense, absolutely unbelievable heart, never giving up. And 350 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 11: then they also at the same fine, the same team 351 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 11: picks one team every year, usually rival Houston. So many 352 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 11: years down the Blue Kis apparently, whould they just roll 353 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 11: over and die against every single game. 354 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 8: I don't get it, Derek, I just don't get it. 355 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 2: You know, my whole life, it seems like there's always 356 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: been one team that's had our numbers for the longest time. 357 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 2: It was the Seattle Mariners out West. I hated going 358 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 2: out there because they would kick our ass. They had 359 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: Randy Johnson, they beat us in the playoffs. And then 360 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: you know, California Angels at Chuck Finley, they were always 361 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 2: a real pain. And then you know in the two thousands, 362 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: you know, you go to the Yankees, you know, having 363 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: a lot of trouble with the Tigers. You know, they 364 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: knocked them out of the playoffs a few times. The 365 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 2: Rays have given us a lot of issues since they 366 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 2: became good. So yeah, there's there's teams that every year 367 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: somebody gives us nightmares. 368 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 12: There will be a couple of things about the game 369 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 12: tonight and how things are going. I was just watching 370 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 12: your recap after the game and you're asking Terns, you 371 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 12: know what the problem is and all that stuff, and 372 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 12: you said, no matter no matter who they bring in, 373 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 12: no matter what players they bring in, the defense sucks. 374 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 12: The sloppy players always there. I mean, you're answering your 375 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 12: own question. What is the constant. It's Aaron Boone and 376 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 12: his style of man and his being buddy buddy with 377 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 12: the players, and him being a yes man to the 378 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 12: analytical department. He is sorry. They will never win a 379 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 12: championship with a coach like that because he doesn't hold 380 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 12: anybody accountable. He wants to have had everybody on his back. 381 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 12: Bobie has the most error in the league, and he 382 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 12: tells you, he tells the media he's elite. That's a sucker. 383 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 12: He's a sucker. 384 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, Man, good call, and I've had 385 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: it with Cashman too. I mean, twenty six years is 386 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: a long time. Twenty seven years, that's a long time 387 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 2: to be a GM in professional sports. I feel like 388 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 2: he might have gotten a little bit too comfortable. Let's 389 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 2: get some fresh blood in this organization. I like what 390 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: they did with the beards, like that was a sign 391 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: of advancing with the times. But at that press conference, 392 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman said, well, we're like an aircraft carrier. We 393 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 2: got all this size, but we move very slowly. Well, 394 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 2: maybe it's time to get a speedboat in here. 395 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 9: Yeah. 396 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: Hello, I just gotta say I feel bad for Judge. 397 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 8: I really do. 398 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: I'm afraid that he may never win a ring in 399 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: his career. And it's like everything he does, any records 400 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: he sets or breaks, is all gonna be for nothing. 401 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: All his statistics and records are gonna be for nothing 402 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,479 Speaker 1: if he does not win at least one World Series. 403 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 1: And I'm really afraid the guy is gonna end up 404 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: being the Dan Marino of baseball. I think that's pathetic. 405 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: I can understand why Soto bailed out. 406 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. 407 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 2: Dan Marino of baseball hurts because I met Dan Marino. 408 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 2: I like Dan Marino, and I wish he could have 409 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl, right, great, great arm. So we've 410 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: got let's see one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 411 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 2: eight nine.

I've got to ask a question here. 443 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 2: There is a Billy Martin special on Netflix that I 444 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 2: am unaware of. I just got this call today, and 445 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: I rarely have an evening off because I do the 446 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 2: postgame show after every single game, and when I'm not 447 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 2: doing the postgame, I either do one of these, or 448 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 2: I go out with some friends, or I you know, 449 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: sit out back and have a fire. But if there's 450 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 2: a Billy Martin documentary, I have got to watch that. 451 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 2: So if somebody knows what it is, go ahead and 452 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 2: ping me in the comments. 453 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 15: What is up there, Jake MASTRIONI in Connecticut. If I'm 454 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 15: GM for the day right of the New York Yankees, 455 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 15: what do you think about moving the ming As for anyone. 456 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 15: I don't know what his value is at the moment, 457 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 15: but I mean, if if I can he leaves the 458 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 15: package for a Jose Ramirez type player and you call 459 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,959 Speaker 15: up Jones and he let the guy play in left field, 460 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 15: Trey Grish, well, you don't. We don't need the offense. 461 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 15: He clearly has the upside. But if he strikes out 462 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 15: a lot, who gets his shit? You guy's an incredible 463 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 15: outfielder and he's clearly doing something right down a triple uns. 464 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 2: Now thirteen no, yeah, thirteen home runs now three home 465 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 2: runs today? Plasma says, championship teams have pillars to build on. 466 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: Judge and Freed are the only pillars we have. Everything 467 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: else is a question mark. It can still work out, 468 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 2: but Cash needs to do better. I don't know if 469 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 2: it's gonna work out this year. Man, I've been watching 470 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 2: baseball a long time. I mean, I've seen stranger things happen. 471 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 2: I don't see the Yankees getting through the playoffs this year. 472 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 2: Maybe they'll get to the playoffs, but if they get 473 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 2: past the Alds I will be let's just say, I'm 474 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: gonna have my five Yanks who won't be back video 475 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: ready to go by the end of the first round. 476 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 2: But to go back to your call, no, I don't 477 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: want to trade Domingez. He's one of the few guys 478 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 2: that I think has a lot of potential because I mean, 479 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: he's a good base runner, he's you know, shown to 480 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 2: be a good hitter, good power. He needs to learn 481 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: left field, but he came up as a center fielder, right, 482 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 2: this is all new for him. But I think he'll 483 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: get there. He's still only twenty two. I'm not ready 484 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: to give up on Dominguz. What I trade Dominguez probably not. 485 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: I mean, unless it was, you'd have to be just 486 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: You'd have to give us somebody like O'Neil Cruz or 487 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: like somebody really really good, and I'll see that happening. 488 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: Here's Jayden. 489 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: Hey, this is Jayden from Connecticut. First time caller, and 490 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 6: I I never imagined myself making a phone call to 491 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 6: the show. Usually I'm just like a listener who just 492 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 6: enjoys what other people, like the fans of the show 493 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 6: rant about this team. Honestly, I'm not that mad as 494 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 6: other Yankee fans are maybe because like I've wasted my 495 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 6: energy too much on this team this year. This is 496 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 6: the worst fundament fundamentally driven team. This is the worst 497 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 6: defensive Yankee schem. 498 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 16: By far in my lifetime. 499 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 6: And this all starts. 500 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 8: With the organization. 501 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 6: Obviously, Obviously Aaron Boone should be fired by the end 502 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 6: of the season. It's just not going to work out. 503 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna fire Boone in season. The 504 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: Yankees just don't do that. And I don't think it 505 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 2: starts with Boone. I think it starts with the guy 506 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: who hired Boone. I think it's Cashman. I've been saying 507 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,639 Speaker 2: that for years. You know, for years he had a 508 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: team with no lefties in a stadium built for lefties, right, 509 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 2: and now he's got a team that can't play defense 510 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 2: year after year after year, and a coaching staff that 511 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 2: does not a damn thing about it. 512 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 10: It's annoying, and I just want to say that Aaron 513 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 10: Aaron Boone is to n worst manager of a pitching 514 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 10: staff I've seen in seventy. 515 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 16: Years of watching Yankee games, and Cashman is been a failure. 516 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 16: It's sixteen years we haven't won one, and low series. 517 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 16: And that's about it. 518 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 2: You know, seventy years. I got to and you for 519 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 2: being a Yankee fan for that long. I hope that 520 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: I get to be a Yankees fan for that long. 521 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 3: I'll be hell. I'll be happy to live for seventy years. 522 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 3: Here's a call about. 523 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 17: This, Frankly Lopez again. I hear a lot of buzz 524 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 17: buzz about Spencer Jones. He just had three three home 525 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 17: run day today. People are going crazy. Bring them up, 526 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 17: Bring him up. I guess you don't learn from their mistakes, 527 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 17: because look what happened with with with Deani at the moment, 528 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 17: and this is his third year and he hasn't progressed. 529 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 17: He hasn't. It's been getting worse, actually, and that's because 530 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 17: they flew him through the Triple A system. And that's 531 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 17: Anthony Wolpe. You bring Spencer Jones up now or after 532 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 17: the tread deadline, it's gonna be the same thing or 533 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 17: worse two point zero, all right, care developed don't rush them, 534 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 17: don't put all that pressure on them right away. To 535 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 17: be honest, I think that was one of the biggest 536 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 17: mistakes they did with Anthony Volpe, bringing it up so 537 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 17: early instead of geting him a year and there or 538 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 17: a year and a half so he could develop these skills, 539 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 17: so they could teach him something down there, since they're 540 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 17: not teaching anything up in the majors. 541 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Volpi has my opinion. 542 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 17: I thought you were going to do it up right now. 543 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 2: First of all, thank you for the call. Volpi has 544 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 2: gotten worse since they've called him up, no doubt about it. 545 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: But Jones, I mean, look what he's doing. I mean, 546 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty five at bats in the minor 547 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 2: leagues and twenty nine home runs. I mean, that's that's 548 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: difficult to do. I means, hitting thirteen home runs in 549 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 2: nineteen games at any level is damn near impossible. Hitting 550 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: a baseball is very, very difficult. And the fact that 551 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 2: he's hitting three fourteen, that he's got an on base 552 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: percentage over four hundred, NOPs over one thy ober eleven hundred, 553 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: he's twenty four years old, and you know, maybe it's 554 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: finally clicking for him. I don't think the Yanks are 555 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: gonna deal him. I think we're gonna see him in 556 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 2: the outfield. And and just a few weeks ago, a 557 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: month ago, before he changed his stance, I was thinking, 558 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 2: you know, he might be a bust. I don't know 559 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: if we're gonna see him. He might be traded. Other 560 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: guys had passed him on the prospect list. He was 561 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: our number one prospect at one point or number two, 562 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: and now he's down to four. And now he's quickly 563 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 2: elevating himself into the discussion. 564 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 3: Here's Sam. 565 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 18: Hey, Derek is Sam from Atlanta. Look, I think firing 566 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 18: Boone is not going to solve our biggest problem. I 567 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 18: think you gotta look at Brian Cashman in the front 568 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 18: office as the big problem. It's the same thing over 569 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 18: and over again. And I think if we just fire Boom, 570 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 18: it's nothing but a skategoat and they will bring in 571 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 18: boone two point zero, just saying. 572 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're probably right. I don't think we're gonna see 573 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: the days of like a Buck Showalter or a Joe 574 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 2: Girardi as manager. You know, I like Girardi as manager. 575 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: I was disappointed when they fired him. I thought he 576 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 2: was coming back for sure. They got one game away 577 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: from the World Series. I was so amped up. I 578 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: was like, oh my god, we got this young core, 579 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 2: we got a nice veteran mix, we got a potential 580 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: MVP for a decade in Aaron Judge, Let's go out 581 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: and get a couple of good players in the offseason 582 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: to fortify the roster. And then in twenty nineteen, let's 583 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: sign Bryce Harper and let's have another dynasty. That's what 584 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: I was expecting. Instead they went to, let's get rid 585 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 2: of Girardi, Let's bring a Aaron Boone. Let's go out 586 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: and get John Carlos Stanton, who's basically an older version 587 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: of Aaron Judge. And you know, look, the move was 588 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: exciting at the time, but long term perspective, it didn't. 589 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 3: It didn't. It didn't seem right. At the time. 590 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 2: It was a big contract already and he was aging, 591 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: and you knew it was not gonna age well for 592 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 2: him health wise. But at least he's had some big 593 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: moments for us. But I still think Harper would have 594 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: been the uh those two would have combined for seven 595 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 2: hundred home runs bait, well, not that many because a 596 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: lot of Harper's were with the Nationals, but they would 597 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: have combined for probably five hundred home runs by now. 598 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 2: If the Yankees had signed Harper his volpie. 599 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 17: Hey Frank Lopez again, you'd a lot of buzz buzz 600 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 17: oh wait. 601 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 3: Sorry, this is a retread. 602 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 19: Sorry, this is rig Kwan calling from Jersey. 603 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 6: Derek, I just want. 604 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 9: To say, this is getting embarrassing. 605 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 6: Like the Blue Jays. They embarrassed us this weekend and we're. 606 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 19: One hundred and one games, you know, into the season, 607 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 19: and to me, it feels like a repeat of last 608 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 19: year in the World Series where the report came out 609 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 19: on the Dodgers where they said that when you put 610 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 19: the ball in play. 611 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 15: Against stuff, make they make the team make a play. 612 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 2: And one hundred percent I'm stopping right there because we've 613 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: got a couple more to get to. But yes, and 614 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays fans are saying the same thing. Now, 615 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: put the ball in play and walk Aaron Judge. That's 616 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: pretty much the path to victory against the Yankees. 617 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek, North Carolina. Yeah, man, brutal last night. 618 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 20: I mean, what can you say that we haven't been 619 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 20: saying for years about this team. But hey, man, at 620 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 20: least we have an old timers game to look forward 621 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 20: to so we can see great fundamentals and pin stripes. 622 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 15: Again. 623 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 4: You have another thing about Cashin and Boone. 624 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 11: They're not gonna lead like because they're gonna stay and 625 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 11: that's the most frustrating thing us as. 626 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 16: A fan base. 627 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 4: We understand the problems. We've both we've been pointing it 628 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 4: out ever since the past, Like I feel like seven years. 629 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 8: They don't they don't have structure defensively, they don't have 630 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 8: an offensive game. 631 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 4: Plan other than hitting. 632 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 8: Bombs and getting under the baseball. To a certain extent, 633 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 8: that's correct. 634 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: But so yeah, I'm gonna agree with you. I saw 635 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 2: a video today that John Boy posted back in twenty eighteen, 636 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: back when he was still doing stuff in his living 637 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 2: room like I do, and he basically was complaining about 638 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: the same shit with Boone that we're complaining about now, 639 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 2: and it, you know, it was. 640 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 3: It was stunning to watch. I was. 641 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: It made me laugh. I was just like, oh my god. 642 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 2: Things the more they change, the more they stay the same. 643 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, We'll be back tomorrow Yankees versus the Phillies. 644 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: It's gonna be on Apple TV.
