1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: All right, the tipathy.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: It is Friday, May second, and the Yankees were back

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 2: in the Bronx to take on the Tampa Bay Rays

4
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: in the first of a three game weekend set.

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 3: Max Freed on the mound.

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 2: Looking to deliver another sharp performance the major league debut

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: of your but Vivas.

00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next.

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 3: This is pinstripe Territory.

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 4: Him to pull.

00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 5: It's all.

00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 3: All right, start spreading the news.

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back, and welcome back to our

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: regular Friday night co host, Terrence cam TK. Yankees just

17
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: picked up a three to nothing win. Outstanding performance from

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: Max Freed. Seven shuddy as the pitchers like to call it,

19
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: one hit aloud uh and two walk, six strikeouts ERA

20
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: down to one point.

21
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: Oh. One. Doesn't get much better than that. How you

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: on tk TK, We're not hearing you. Hang on, okay,

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: go ahead.

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: You had me.

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 6: I saw the little I saw the little mute thing

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 6: on my face. I was like, oh, oh, he's got me muted.

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: But we're good. We're good. I'm here. Good to be back.

28
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 6: Max Freed looking looking like he's worth every penny so

29
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 6: far in the season.

30
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thirty two games in. How are you feeling about

31
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: the Yankee season? I mean, is it what you expected?

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: Are they doing better, are they doing worse? Or is

33
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: it about kind of what you expected?

34
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 6: I think given the injuries that they went into the

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 6: season with, you know, Cole going down and losing, Louis

36
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 6: Heel and now jass Chisholm just went on the il obviously,

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 6: so stanton all those things considered, I feel like they've

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 6: played pretty well and I'm pretty happy with where they're

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: at so far in the season. They're in first place.

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 6: There are a couple of frustrating games here and there.

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 6: Obviously the game down in Tampa, they you know, Devin

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 6: Williams blew the week. The two Devin Williams meltdowns are

43
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 6: games that they should have they should have won. Those

44
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 6: are frustrating. But my mindset is there's gonna be a

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 6: game in like June or something like that where they,

46
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 6: you know, as Michael Kay likes to say, they take

47
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 6: defeat from they take a win from the jaws of defeat.

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 6: Something is going to kind of even out. So you

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 6: got to be pretty happy with how they're playing so far.

50
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to consider Max Freed, who was

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: the pitcher of the month, by the way, a leading

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: candidate for Cy Young so far. Before we get to

53
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: the recap, you're but Vivas Major League debuted tonight. I

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 2: thought you looked fine at second base, drew a couple

55
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: of walks. Anything stand out to you?

56
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he looked pretty good, looked comfortable, looked

57
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 6: comfortable in the field, made a couple just slicked nice

58
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 6: little plays, and I like that. You know, the one

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 6: thing Jazz is going down. Obviously he's probably gonna be

60
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 6: out four to six weeks. I would think at least

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 6: it's a high grade.

62
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what That's what Boone said today. Hot four to.

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 6: Six Yeah, high grade oblique for a hitter is definitely

64
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 6: not great. It's kind of one of those things that's

65
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: like a lingering injury. But Yorbit Vivas Parazza, I expect

66
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 6: those are two guys that are gonna get quite a

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 6: little run here to play a lot. And frankly, Derek,

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 6: my mindset is play well enough where when Jazz gets activated,

69
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 6: you dfa Pablo Reyes because I think I'd rather have

70
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 6: a Yorbit Vivas or an Oswald Parazza on the bench

71
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 6: over Pablo Rayes.

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: That's just me.

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. But we'll we'll cross that

74
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: bridge when we get there. Let's go, let's get it going.

75
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the game. So I want to start

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: with Ben Rice.

77
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: Beautiful piece of hitting in the first inning, opposite field

78
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: double off the wall, one hundred and five mile an

79
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: hour exit velocity. The guy continues to just rake to

80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: all fields. I don't think he's going anywhere. We'll talk

81
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: about this later, I'm sure. But you know, with Stanton

82
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: coming back, that decision gets closer and closer. It's looming, right,

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: It's like when you got something on your mind and

84
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: it's just kind of in the back of your mind,

85
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: that rumbling thunderstorm at a picnic, right, that's off in

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: the distance.

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: Well it's coming.

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: Another pickoff for Max Freed in the second inning. Second

89
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: I gotta say, best Yankees pickoff move since Pettit.

90
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 3: I mean, bar none Cecis was good.

91
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, there were a few people who had good ones,

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: but he's the best since Pettit for sure. Judge drilled

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: on off the center field wall in the third inning,

94
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: second triple of the year. He went two for four

95
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: with a double and a triple. He's hitting four thirty

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about his home run chase a little

97
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: bit later on. Chandler Simpson slammed into the wall on

98
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: that one, and I guarantee tomorrow during batting practice they're

99
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: going to have that like Wiley Coyote, like the outline

100
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: on the wall from.

101
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: Where he ran into it.

102
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: I thought there was gonna be a Chandler Simpson shaped

103
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: hole in the wall line drive base hit for Vulpi

104
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 2: in the fourth inning, but the Yankees left two runners

105
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: in scoring position raised didn't get their first hit until

106
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: the fifth. I thought I was Waldo Cabrera played phenomenal

107
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: on defense tonight, and the Yankees finally got on the

108
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: board in the fifth inning walk to Vivas, first time

109
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: he ever reached base.

110
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: In his major league career.

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,919
Speaker 2: And then Judge had another base hit over the third

112
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: base bag, and then Paul Goldschman.

113
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: Gold standard, the gold standard three run jack into the

114
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: short porch.

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: He didn't hit a home run for a month, and

116
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: now two days in a row with home runs or

117
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: two games in a row and TK I'm not sure

118
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: if you saw the podcast where we did a series kickoff.

119
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: But the prediction, the Noster Derek prediction tonight was Paul

120
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: Goldschman Homer, Oh, I saw that.

121
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 3: Third home run of the season. Is he about to

122
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: get hot?

123
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: TK, Dude, he's been hot, he's been hot.

124
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 3: But is he about to get hot with the home runs?

125
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean the runs? Yeah, yeah, I could see it.

126
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: I could see it. Yeah. I think they're coming. They're coming.

127
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 6: It's just that I think Goldie is a typical veteran

128
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 6: hitter who doesn't really care about the home run. He

129
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 6: kind of just takes what the pitcher gives him, and

130
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 6: you know, he'll protect on O two and he'll just

131
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 6: kind of go gap to gap base hit. It's all

132
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 6: about I think the r for him. I think he'll

133
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: end the season with twenty home runs. I don't think

134
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 6: that's like an enormous number, but he's been due to

135
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 6: a just an absolute revelation for this team. A total

136
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 6: upgrade over Anthony Rizzo. Sorry Rizzo, great guy, but total

137
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 6: upgrade over him.

138
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 3: At first, he was done, he'd done for two years.

139
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: Man, he was done.

140
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 6: But Goldie looks like, you know, he's got a little

141
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 6: something left. Man, There's a little something in there, and

142
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 6: the Yankees, I'll give him credit where they were able

143
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: to identify that and give him a very low risk,

144
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 6: high reward deal one year, twelve point five.

145
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Got to love it.

146
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had the thought, and this is probably a

147
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: stupid thought because they're not going to do it, and.

148
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't know I'm even sure they should do it.

149
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: But if the logjam for the roster kind of you know,

150
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: starts to get complicated and you need to clear a

151
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: spot for Ben Rice at first base, he could be

152
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 2: a trade piece. Somebody might be looking for a big

153
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 2: bat down the stretch. You know, it's not a long

154
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: term commitment. I mean it's it's you could probably get

155
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 2: something for him. But I think the Yankee should just

156
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: hang on to him because he's been the exact type

157
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: of hitter that we want. Sixth inning VOLTI walked and

158
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: then stole second base, forced a bad thrown ended up

159
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 2: on third base. I think that's the kind of baseball

160
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: he should be playing. More of TK, less swinging for

161
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: the fences, more of that line drive, gap to gap,

162
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: line to line be a pest on the basis, What

163
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 2: are your thoughts?

164
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent we've been saying that that's kind

165
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: of the mold that I wanted to follow, And if

166
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 6: I was going to look at him hitting his ceiling, like,

167
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: being the leadoff guy at that point would be so annoying.

168
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: If he could be the player that you know, we've

169
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 6: seen him be at his best and he's in that

170
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 6: leadoff spot, he'd be so annoying for opposing pitchers. But dude,

171
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 6: Dustin Pedroia, that's that's kind of the player that i'd

172
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 6: like to see. He's not a huge guy. Just give

173
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 6: me good defense and go gap to gap.

174
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: That's it.

175
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 6: That's all I need from you. If you hit ten

176
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 6: home runs, great, that's all I care about. That's fine.

177
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't need twenty home runs from Anthonybody.

178
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: Nice job by Devin Williams in the eighth inning. I

179
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: feel like the fastball usage has been better for him

180
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: the last couple of times out. I have no problem

181
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 2: with him pitching as the setup man TK situations like this,

182
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: I don't feel like he's gonna melt down. But when

183
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: there's no safety net, I feel like I'm not sure

184
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: he's built for that moment with no safety net in

185
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: New York. But you know, luckily we got dream Weaver

186
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: took care of business. Thoughts on the Devin Williams dream

187
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: Weaver thing before we get out the hardware.

188
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 6: I'm totally fine with him kind of figuring it out

189
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 6: in the low leverage situations. He's actually pitched pretty well

190
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,599
Speaker 6: in the low livered situations, like while he's trying to

191
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 6: work things out whenever I see him warming up in

192
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 6: the bullpen.

193
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Though I do get like the Vietnam War flashbacks a

194
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: little bit.

195
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 6: I got a little bit of play homes kind of PTSD.

196
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 6: It happens, I will admit, However, I think Matt Blake

197
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 6: was saying for him, like command the fastball, and that's

198
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 6: where it's at with him. He commands the fastball and

199
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 6: sets you up in like in a pitcher's count, and

200
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 6: then he busts out the dirty change up like it's

201
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 6: it's unhittable. Virtually, he's got great stuff. It's just he

202
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 6: hadn't had the command to start the season, and then

203
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 6: I think mentally he wasn't really able to kind of

204
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 6: put it together. But I think that Michael Kay made

205
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 6: a good point tonight where he thinks he'll figure it

206
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: out just because of the second meltdown when they demoted

207
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 6: him from the closed role. He had this postgame interview

208
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 6: where he took it right on the chin and he

209
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: was like, listen, I'm not earning the spot. You got

210
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 6: to earn the closer spot every day because it's a

211
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: different animal to different beast. And Luke Weaver is obviously

212
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 6: kind of taking that and run with it, and he

213
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 6: obviously has the mental makeup to do it. But if

214
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 6: we get I'll say this, Derek, if we get Devin Williams,

215
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 6: like Milwaukee, Devin Williams to pitch the eighth inning leading

216
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 6: into Luke Weaver.

217
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: Dude, I am third down that.

218
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 6: I'm down for that, especially with Fernando Cruz pitching the

219
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 6: way he is. We're talking about a cruise Williams Weaver seventh, eighth, ninth,

220
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 6: That's that's disgusting, that's coming back.

221
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 3: So yeah, why is it good too?

222
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: And and you know we haven't seen much out of Hamilton,

223
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: and you know guys like that, but there's additional death.

224
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: But Devin Williams, I agree, is a major part of it.

225
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: If he can put it together, and I don't even

226
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: need to trade him if he's gonna pitch well in

227
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: the setup role, right, you can just I mean, he's

228
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: an immense about of value in that anyway, Yankees take

229
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: Game one winning YAK period, we didn't talk a lot

230
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: about Max Freed. We'll get to him in the pitcher spotlight,

231
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: but TK, he was phenomenal tonight, seven shutout innings, just

232
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: a wizard out there, just painting, mixing, matching Goldschmidt with

233
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: the three run home run. Those are really the two

234
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: main candidates for the Belt tonight. I'm gonna let you

235
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: go ahead and.

236
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: Make the call.

237
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: Man of the hour, Max Freed.

238
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: There you go, and we have breaking news.

239
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 2: For the first time in a long time, we have

240
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: a Belt leader that is not named Aaron Judge. It

241
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: is Max Freed, who has four He is now six

242
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: to oh on the season with a one.

243
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Point oh one e R.

244
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean, like you said before, money well spent worth

245
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 2: every penny. In fact, let's talk about him. I like

246
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: to put graphics on the screen TK. I feel like

247
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: it adds a little bit of a visual element to

248
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: the podcast to drive home some points. Occasionally I'll have

249
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: a typo, but if you're watching on YouTube, this is

250
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: not a typo. His era this year is one point

251
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: zero one, seven shutout innings, unhittable TK.

252
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: Dude, he's been.

253
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 6: He's been just a rock, an absolute rock ace stopper.

254
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 6: I'll ask you this question, Derek, because I was thinking

255
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 6: about this during the game.

256
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: This is Plan B.

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 6: Max Freed is Plan B of the offseason. So Goldman

258
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: and Goldschmid as well, and Devin Williams as well, and

259
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 6: Cody Bellinger, right, but Max Freed is a major part

260
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 6: of Plan B. I would say kind of the Plan

261
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 6: A of Plan B, if.

262
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: That makes sense.

263
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 6: But I'll ask this, We'll go to an alternate universe

264
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 6: and they signed Juan Soto Trader and Garret Cole goes

265
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 6: down with TJ and they don't have Max Freed. Are

266
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 6: they a better team? Probably not, Man, probably not, because

267
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 6: they need every bit of Max Freed this season. I'm

268
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 6: just talking about this season. I'm not talking about the

269
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 6: future just twenty twenty five.

270
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: That's a great point. I mean, if you believe in

271
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: the many world's theory of you know, quantum mechanics, in

272
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: every you know there's a there's a reality where every

273
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: possible outcome exists, and the scenario you're painting right now,

274
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: you know, if the Yankees didn't have Max Freed to

275
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: go to their rotation right now? Would be what it

276
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: would be Carlos Rodin number one? Who would be number two?

277
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean Carlos Carrasco, I mean well, or I mean Stroman,

278
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean Stroman.

279
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's on the il too.

280
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: I mean, let's assume everything is the same except for

281
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: you know, Soto's playing for the Yankees. I mean that

282
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: would be an interesting scenario too, Like you know, if

283
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: you had Sodo still right, Yeah, he's playing left field,

284
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: where's Dominga? You probably he's probably playing centerfield, right, and

285
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: then we don't have Bellinger.

286
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: The team would just look, I don't think that team's

287
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: as good. I don't.

288
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 6: I don't think that team is as well rounded as

289
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 6: this team is. There's some pieces missing due to injury.

290
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 6: We know this, and I think that there's some things

291
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 6: that will be addressed to the deadline. Derek and I

292
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 6: will get into that. But I think if you're talking

293
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 6: about just twenty twenty five, I'm not paying attention to

294
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 6: any of the future years, because that's a whole different conversation.

295
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 6: I really think that you, especially the way Max Freed

296
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 6: is pitching right now in the way Juan Soto's playing

297
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: for the Mets right now too. If you think consider

298
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 6: that now, I think Sodo would be playing better if

299
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 6: he was still Yankee. Yeah, Schmid would still be in

300
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 6: the in the rotation, but I think Soda would be

301
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 6: playing better hitting in front of Judge, Like that's neither

302
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 6: here nor there. I also think he regrets it, but

303
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 6: that's also different. But this team, I think is is

304
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 6: better just because of Max Freed, because with Cole going down, man,

305
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 6: that was a huge black hole in the rotation and

306
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 6: he's just come in and been a rock man. And

307
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 6: when you're thinking in the future now, I will go

308
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 6: in the future and we'll put this aside as Cole

309
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 6: and Freed as you're one and two.

310
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: That's that's nice. That's nice.

311
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that. And I think Eric Cole

312
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: is going to come back strong. He's a guy who

313
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: understands like how to pitch, So even if he's not

314
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: one hundred percent full strength right at the beginning, I

315
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: have every confidence that he'll put it together. Okay, so

316
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: we're going to do State of the Yanks, which is

317
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: what we do where we run down a bunch of

318
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: different topics. We're going to talk about Spencer Jones, who

319
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: made an adjustment to his stance. We're going to talk

320
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: about the outfield logjam. We're going to kind of go through,

321
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: you know, what we've seen from Dominguez and his switch

322
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: hitting and all that stuff. We're going to dive into

323
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, which I don't think we've done yet, and

324
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 2: then we'll we each got a couple of guys on

325
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: our trade wish list that will go over. But first

326
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and get the ad out of

327
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: the way from Neutrifil, and then we'll be back with

328
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: State of Yanks.

329
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,160

351
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: my voice could get that deep. But uh, all right,

352
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: So we're gonna just kind of tackle some of the

353
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: main storylines here and you know, let the chips fall

354
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: where they may. And in case you're new to the show,

355
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: we are uh gonna be doing this pretty much every

356
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: Friday night for the entire season, so that you know,

357
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: if you're you know, busy during the week and you

358
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: miss a few stories. We're gonna talk about some things

359
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: that maybe made some headlines. So let's begin with Spencer Jones.

360
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: So for those of you who are watching on YouTube,

361
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: you can obviously see this if you're listening. Spencer Jones

362
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: has made a radical adjustment to his stance. He used

363
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: to be, you know, not entirely straight up, a slight

364
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: bend at the knees, kind of hanging out over the plate,

365
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: and pretty much a closed stance. His right heel is

366
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: slightly ahead of his left heel as a left handed hitter,

367
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: so it's kind of a closed stance. He has gone

368
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: to almost Brian Giles like left handed stance, where it

369
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 2: is wide, wide open. And I mean, look at his thighs. Dude,

370
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: I had no idea his legs were that big. I mean,

371
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: he's thick with two SE's, but I mean it seems

372
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: to be working. Tk's he's been matching since he made

373
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 2: the adjustment, and hey, he had to do something.

374
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, Baseball's a game of adjustments. I had a

375
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: coach tell me the difference between each level in baseball

376
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 6: is double A. You make adjustments every game, triple a

377
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 6: you make adjustments every at bat, and in the majors,

378
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 6: you make adjustments every pitch. So I think that's kind

379
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 6: of what we're seeing here a little bit. But yeah,

380
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 6: that's the look. I don't care what he looks like

381
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 6: when he hits, as long as he hits. Kevin Yucliz Criike,

382
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 6: for like, was holding the bat like this with like

383
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 6: one hand up here and doing this crazy stuff Greek

384
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 6: god of walks whatever, and he still was a pretty

385
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 6: solid major league player. So I don't care what he

386
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 6: looks like as long as he hits the ball, and

387
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 6: he's hit pretty well.

388
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: Now, what I don't like.

389
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 6: You've probably seen this, Derek, where people are putting like

390
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: the Judge swing next to the Jones swing, and yes,

391
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: it does look similar in terms of the whole, like

392
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 6: teacher Man, kind of like school of thought, where you know,

393
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 6: you kind of step in and they look like similar swings, Mirrit,

394
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 6: I understand.

395
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we're.

396
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 6: Talking about Aaron Judge being like a Barry Bonds level

397
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 6: player right now.

398
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to.

399
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 6: Put these expectations on Spencer Jones. I was super high

400
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: on Spencer Jones. Now last season I cooled off a

401
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 6: little bit because he struck out a lot and it's

402
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 6: not what you want to see. But if he cuts

403
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 6: down on the strikeouts, Derek does well in triple A. Yeah,

404
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 6: I want to see Spencer Jones because I think his

405
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 6: athleticism will do really well on the outfield. He's got

406
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 6: great speed, good glove, he's got obvious lefty power.

407
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: If he can hit the ball. Hey, man, like, let's

408
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: let's see it. Let's see it.

409
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: Let me drop this in here. So THHG.

410
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: Wicked fifty Cow, one of our longtime mods, says, what

411
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: advantage does it provide him to change his stance? There

412
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: is one thing I can think of. If you look

413
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: at how his head is positioned. Look how he's looking

414
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: more directly at the picture in the frame with the

415
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: open stance. If you're looking with both eyes right, you know,

416
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: I feel like you get a better view of the picture.

417
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: It may be as a left handed person that his

418
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 2: left eye is his dominant eye right, and that could

419
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: be a reason he's striking out so much.

420
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 3: So they want to get that left eye a little

421
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 3: bit more focused on the baseball.

422
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: That's my theory, But there's a lot of reasons why

423
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 2: this could happen.

424
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: A lot of reasons, I think more comfortable.

425
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 6: But yeah, I think a lot of it has to

426
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 6: do with just he's seeing the ball better. Usually that

427
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 6: happens when you open up your stance. He's breathing out

428
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 6: of the right eyelid, So I think that it has

429
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 6: a lot to do with that. But yeah, it's mostly

430
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: just like seeing the ball come out of the pitcher's

431
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 6: hand a little bit better, especially when you're facing a lefty.

432
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 6: As a lefty, that too, if it's like a crazy

433
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 6: side arm guy lefty, it's like almost coming across the box.

434
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: So I think this just like helps him see the

435
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: ball a little bit better.

436
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 2: So let's talk about the Outfiel log jam. So Trent Grisham,

437
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: I want to talk about whether or not he's actually

438
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: for real. Bellinger off to kind of a slow start.

439
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought he had some pathetic at bats

440
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: in Baltimore. It didn't do much tonight. Domingez seems to

441
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: be the odd man out, and I want to talk

442
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 2: about whether or not that's fair. I feel like he

443
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: should be getting more playing time. Even though Dominguez doesn't

444
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 2: make as much money as Bellinger does, I feel like

445
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: he's more vital to the long term future of the team,

446
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: and I don't want to stunt his growth. And then

447
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 2: another possibility is, you know, when Stanton comes back, if

448
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: you do opt to go with that platoon situation where

449
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: you've got let's say Ben Rice as the DH against

450
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 2: righty's and Stanton is a dch against lefties, but against

451
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: the righty, maybe they go to a lefty late in

452
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 2: the game to pitch the Dominguez. That guy has to

453
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: stay in there in Phase three hitters, Well, maybe you

454
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: bring in Stanton to hit for Dominges. It's a way

455
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: to get him more at bats. You're not going to

456
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 2: go out into the field, obviously, you'd stick somebody else

457
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: out in the outfield after that. So I just kind

458
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 2: of want to get your thoughts on all of this.

459
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: Let's start with Grisham and then work our way down.

460
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, it's a really complicated situation. It's

461
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: a quote.

462
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 6: Unquote good problem to have, but it's a problem nonetheless.

463
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 6: And Trent Grisham, I can't say if he's for real

464
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 6: or not. It's May seconds, so yeah, we've played a

465
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: month of baseball, but it's still very very early in

466
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 6: the season. But I think in this situation. Derek, I

467
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 6: think it's kind of like ride the hot hand. I

468
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 6: think you just kind of have to keep playing who's

469
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 6: playing well, because I don't really think there is a

470
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 6: better than perfect way to go about this outfield Logjam.

471
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 6: I think it's just kind of ride the hot hand,

472
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 6: kind of like they do in basket ball. You know,

473
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 6: the guy gets the final shot of the quarter, it's

474
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: like who's hot. I think that's just the best way

475
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 6: to go about it. And I think it's also like

476
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 6: a good message to your players. You play well, you

477
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 6: play that's it, period.

478
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: You know.

479
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 6: I don't really think that it's more complicated than that.

480
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 6: I don't think it should be more complicated than that.

481
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 6: Trent Grisham has played incredibly well. He's obviously a plus defender. Honestly,

482
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 6: before his hot start, you were putting him out there

483
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 6: because of his defense. But he looks like he's hitting

484
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: his weight, so keep playing him. Dominguez, he's a young player.

485
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: Is it unfair? Yeah, I think it's unfair because they

486
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: gave Volpi such a rope. But the thing with Volpi

487
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 6: was it's like he kind of locked down the shortstop

488
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 6: spot and there wasn't really anybody else competing with him

489
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 6: for playing short. It's just like he was the shortstop,

490
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 6: so Dimingez is kind of having a harder time getting

491
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 6: in there. But I think it's really just right the

492
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 6: hot hand man, like, that's the best way to go

493
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 6: about it.

494
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: What do you think about the Stanton idea of just

495
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: having him hit against left, He's pretty much yeah.

496
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 6: I think that's the only way you got to go

497
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 6: because you just can't take ben Rice's bad out of

498
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 6: the lineup.

499
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: You just can't.

500
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 6: And you can't take Goulchman's bad out of the lineup either.

501
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 6: I guess Rice can catch if you really want to

502
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 6: get creative too, and and maybe give wells An a

503
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 6: scar a night off or whatever and have Rice catch

504
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 6: and gold Schmidt play first and Stanton dh Dimingez left,

505
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 6: and you know, and then belly center. But then it's like, oh, well,

506
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 6: Grisham's not playing, but you know, somebody may be cold

507
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 6: at that point. So I think it's really gonna be

508
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 6: kind of Russian Roulette of who sits and ride the

509
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 6: hot hand. That would be the way I go about it.

510
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 6: And yeah, if they're both hot, If Stanton and Rice

511
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 6: are both hot, I would do the platoon situation. But

512
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 6: you know, Stanton's gonna be terrible for a month when

513
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 6: he comes back. So yeah.

514
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: So so here's the thing with Dominguez. From the right side,

515
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: he has been awful, and we've we've expressed some concern

516
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: over this in the past. So one, do you think

517
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: that at some point they're gonna tell him, all right,

518
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 2: just hit from the left side against lefties. You know,

519
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: they did that withs Waldo Cabrera. It took a while,

520
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: but for the most part, he hits predominantly left. He'll still,

521
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, hit righty sometimes against lefties, but he'll also

522
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: hit lefty against some lefties too, which is unusual for

523
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: a switch hitter. I don't think that they should have

524
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: him give up on it this year. I think you

525
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 2: give him a full year and hope that he improves,

526
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: and then maybe even give him winter ball or like

527
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 2: halfway through spring training to make adjustments to the batpath

528
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 2: or whatever, and then reevaluate next year. But I can't

529
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 2: see them telling him to bag it this early in

530
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: his rookie season.

531
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

532
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: I don't think they'll tell him to bag it this

533
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 6: early in his career either, just because he's so young

534
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 6: and he hasn't really gotten a ton of at bats

535
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 6: from the right side due to a many, many arrays

536
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 6: of problems. He lost to year the miners due to

537
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 6: COVID and obviously Tommy John Searchers missed. He missed a

538
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 6: lot of development time. But you know he I do

539
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 6: think he is ready for the majors. I think the

540
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 6: best way to go about it is to go the

541
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 6: Oswaldo route, where yeah, you hit lefties against certain lefties,

542
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 6: and I would think that then it just kind of

543
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 6: figures itself out, because if he's hitting lefties against certain

544
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 6: lefties and he's mashing that way, then I would just

545
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 6: be like, you're lefty, Yeah, if you look a lot

546
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 6: more comfortable like that too, one hundred percent.

547
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 3: All right, let's right there in front of us.

548
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: Let's have some fun with Aaron Judge. His revenge tour continues.

549
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: He is now hitting four thirty. He's got ten home runs.

550
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to hit four hundred. Man,

551
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: everybody's talking about it like that is so hard to do.

552
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.

553
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 2: He's got so much power and he's so good at

554
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: drawing walks that he's going to get pitched carefully. So

555
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 2: like his average goes up as the year goes on,

556
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 2: because he starts getting walks more, as he gets starts

557
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: to creep towards like fifty sixty home runs. I don't

558
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 2: know if the power is going to be what I mean,

559
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: the power is like physically still there, but I don't

560
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: know if the home run totals are going to be

561
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: what they were the last couple of years because he's

562
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 2: he doesn't have the protection right now in the lineup.

563
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 2: Maybe that changes when Stanton comes back, or maybe Bellinger

564
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 2: gets hot. But if you had to predict his final

565
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: average and home run total as of right now, a

566
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: month into the season, month and some change, what would

567
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: you say.

568
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 6: Three seventy one average with sixty sixty you know what,

569
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 6: sixty nine home runs?

570
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: Nice?

571
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: Three seventy one average, sixty nine.

572
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 3: Home runs, Wow, I'll think it. I don't think he's

573
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 3: said that many hovers. He'd have to have about fifteen

574
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 3: by now. I'm gonna say.

575
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, Robbie, I'm gonna say three sixty four

576
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: fifty four fifty five home runs. Let's say three sixty

577
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: four with fifty five home runs, still good enough to

578
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: win the MVP. Still going to be a solid year.

579
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: Let me know in the chat what your predictions are.

580
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: And John Daniel Mulla says, Aaron Judge with dad's strength

581
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 2: is unreal. Yeah, congrats to Aaron Judge. But as Frankie says,

582
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: it's fun to dream. That's what sports is about. For

583
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 2: as long as he's over four hundred, you know, we

584
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: can dream. I remember when Bryce Harper was giving his

585
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 2: interview for that E sixty or whatever it's called, when

586
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: he was still a teenager. He was talking about how

587
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: when he got to the majors, He's like, I want

588
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 2: to hit four to thirty, and I was like, nobody

589
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: will ever hit four thirty. Here we are Judge at

590
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: thirty two games into the air hitting four thirty.

591
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 3: All right.

592
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: So final thing for the night before we get to

593
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: your audience reactions. We got a few voicemails that I

594
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: want to play trade targets.

595
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: For the Yankees.

596
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: So I asked you TK to put together your thoughts

597
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: on two guys. I'll just go ahead and throw mine

598
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: out there real quick, and then I'll let you kind

599
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: of take over. So my two are Josh Smith, who

600
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: the Yankees traded away, who is currently with the Rangers.

601
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: I think they could get him because the Rangers have

602
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 2: a lot of infielders and right now he's not a

603
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: starting in fielder. He's more of a utility guy. But

604
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: I think you could play him at third, and I

605
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: think you could get him. He's hitting two ninety nine

606
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: with a three eighty six on base percentage, two home

607
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 2: runs and an eight fifteen OPS. He has a left

608
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: handed hitter. And then Pablo Lopez from the Twins. He's

609
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: two and two with a two point two five ERA

610
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: in five starts, one point zero zero whip and the

611
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 2: Twins are bad, They're always bad, and he makes money,

612
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: so obviously they want to get rid of him.

613
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on one my trades and who

614
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: your targets are?

615
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: I like you trades very How much is Pablo Lopez making?

616
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: Would be give me a second, I'll find out.

617
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I like it.

618
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 6: I like it you obviously. I think third base is

619
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 6: a definite need. Ideally a right handed back because the

620
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 6: Yankees are quite left handed at this moment. And twenty

621
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 6: one million, Okay, and how many years on that, Derek.

622
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: Sorry, so he's got three years including this year, so

623
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: two years after this and he's still in his twenties,

624
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 2: so he's still he's still rather young.

625
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I mean I like it.

626
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 6: Paul Lopez is really good, and I think that he

627
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 6: would pitch probably pretty well. And Josh Smith, you need it,

628
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 6: you need a third basement. I think, hands down mine

629
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 6: are going to be Ryan McMahon because the Rockies are like,

630
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 6: literally they might be worse than the twenty twenty four

631
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 6: Chicago White Sox. Dude, it's on the table. You know,

632
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 6: he's playing pretty well, average exit velocity. I'm looking at

633
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 6: his savant page right now in the ninety third persentile,

634
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 6: So he hits the ball hard, but he's got pretty

635
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 6: poor batting run value. His fielding run value is good,

636
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 6: base running value is kind of just a tick above average,

637
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 6: and he strikes out a lot, but he walks a

638
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 6: lot and he's got good bad speeds. So thirty years old,

639
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: I think he could be solid. I don't know if

640
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: it's the Cores effect or something, but I don't think

641
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 6: it's like a huge ask to get him to play

642
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 6: third in my pitcher. I've said this before. Louis Severino

643
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 6: reumit the guy. He's making twenty million this year, it's

644
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 6: twenty five million next year, and there is a player

645
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 6: option for twenty twenty seven at twenty two million. He's

646
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 6: just thirty one years old now. He's obviously been a

647
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 6: Yankee before. He's pitched for the Yankees and the Mets,

648
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 6: so he's pitched in big moments. The guy is electric

649
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 6: in the playoffs when he's on electric, and I think

650
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 6: you could use kind of that high energy. And I

651
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 6: like him because, yeah, he starts, obviously he's a starter,

652
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 6: but I think he'd be a really good bullpen piece too,

653
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 6: So there's some maneuverability there. There's a little bit of

654
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 6: a I guess a Swiss Army knife in him there,

655
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 6: and that would be the pitcher that I want, is

656
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 6: Louis Sevrino to come back and reuni with the Yankees.

657
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the idea.

658
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: It was one that I wanted to pick, but I

659
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: knew you were going to pick it, so I didn't

660
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: pick it. But yeah, I would love to see that

661
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: shit happening. All right, Okay, so a few things. We're

662
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: going to play. A couple of voicemails here. We got

663
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: one from Bobby the Bear down there in Atlanta.

664
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: Hey, Derek, This is Bobby the Bear in Atlanta calling

665
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 5: you from my office. What a home of Bye Goldie,

666
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 5: Holy smoked. This game is over, Bye bye Sampa. It's correct,

667
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 5: Goldie Bear, Goldie lost the ball head weasel. Get that

668
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 5: man signed for another year.

669
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: Leader Dude, I like Goldie knocks as his nickname.

670
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the fire nickname. Let's go all right,

671
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: So we got Farmington about Yorbert Vivas.

672
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: Yes, hi, Derek, you call him from Farmington, Maine. Very

673
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: excited about Yorbit Vivas. I think he might be the

674
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 4: best option we have at third base, at least, maybe

675
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 4: some kind of a platoon if Lemey whoever comes back.

676
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: But an interesting thing about Chass Chisholm. If you notice

677
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 4: after he heard his ribcage the very next at the

678
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 4: very minute next pitch, he kind of cut down on

679
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: his swing.

680
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 5: I have a two hundred and.

681
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 4: Fifty foot line drive double down the line. I wish

682
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 4: he would learn something from that.

683
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 8: That.

684
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a great call.

685
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: So obviously, you know we've got Vivas playing second base,

686
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: not third base.

687
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: So we'll forgive him for that, for not seeing the lineup.

688
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 2: But he's got a point with Jazz, Like Jazz did

689
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,959
Speaker 2: cut down his swing because it obviously hurts the swing,

690
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: and he ripped one into the corner. That shows you

691
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 2: what's possible. I think that's a really I mean really

692
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: good takeaway.

693
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 3: TK.

694
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, he does have a little bit of a hitch

695
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 6: in his swing. I think he was a bit quicker

696
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 6: to the ball, then it would probably be a little

697
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: bit better in adjustment he can make. Honestly, he should

698
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 6: be just focusing on obviously getting healthy at this point.

699
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 6: But uh, yeah, I think he's also so athletic Derek

700
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 6: that like he gets his hands through so quick that

701
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 6: he kind of makes up for it. But I think

702
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 6: he'd be even better, Yeah, if he cut down on

703
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 6: that a little bit. But it's like kind of a

704
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: big ask to do in the middle of a season.

705
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 6: I feel like that's like you're totally deconstructing your mechanics

706
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 6: and like changing things and putting it back together. It's

707
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 6: usually something that you're doing in like spring training. It's

708
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 6: not unheard of to do it in the middle of

709
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 6: the season.

710
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: But it's hard. It's hard to make an adjustment like

711
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: that in the middle of the season.

712
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent.

713
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're getting some comments about Augustine Ramirez. Have you

714
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: seen what he's doing with me? Marlins act? So the

715
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: guy that they traded is part of the Jazz package.

716
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: He's got three home runs, he's hitting about three hundred

717
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 2: so far. I mean he's he's murdering the baseball. He

718
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: had I think like six or eight extra base hits

719
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: out of his first fifteen at bats.

720
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:11,959
Speaker 3: I'll pull up his numbers.

721
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: But uh, and if you watch him swing, it looks

722
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: exactly like Labors or not like Gary Sanchez. So he's

723
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: hitting two ninety with three home runs in his first

724
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: thirty one at bats. He's also got four doubles, so

725
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 2: he's raking right now. Hang on, I'm gonna I'm gonna

726
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: show you his his swing.

727
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna put up baseball savant real quick. They should

728
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 3: have a couple of.

729
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: His perfect Chicken makes a good point, though, there would

730
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: be no spot for him on this team if we

731
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:39,479
Speaker 6: still had him.

732
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 2: To be honest, one hundred percent, I'm gonna show you

733
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 2: the I'm gonna show you this home.

734
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 3: Run though, just so you can see good for him

735
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: for him, Watch watch this bit.

736
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: This is such a Gary Sanchez swing. Was that not

737
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 2: the most Gary Sanchez followed through of all time watch us.

738
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: Let's watch it again. I'm not saying, oh you can't

739
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: see it?

740
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: Oh sorry there were that was that a brilliant, brilliant move?

741
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 2: All right, here we go, so break the ball down away.

742
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 2: Look at that follow Yeah, that's amazing. That is such

743
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 2: a Gary Sanchez swing. You could tell he's out of

744
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: the Yankee system. And that was a dong too. That

745
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: was a dong. All right, everybody, thanks for watching. Join
