1 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody. Welcome back, Welcome back. 2 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,560 Speaker 2: I know that the ending of the first half was 3 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: not what we wanted. Obviously, we had a chance to 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: sweep the Orioles and it all went downhill in the 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: ninth inning and we've had to chew on that for 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: an entire week. But I'm glad you made it through, 7 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: and I'm glad you're back. Obviously, some new looks to 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 2: the pre recorded voicemail show, trying to improve on that 9 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 2: because it became so popular in the first half. Got 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: some other stuff coming. We got aiden with stat cast 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: report coming this weekend. That's gonna be fun. But the 12 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: Yankees open up a series against the Rays, the division 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: rival Rays. 14 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: We're not having a great year. 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: In fact, there's been some talk that they might unload 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 2: some of their players. The Yankees have been linked with 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: Esach Parades. He is a good young infielder, a lot 18 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: of power. 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: And here's the issue I have with trading with the Rays. 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: They are really real knowledgeable when it comes to prospects 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: and turning young players into quality major leaguers. Look what 22 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: they did with Ben Rhurtfett already. They weren't able to 23 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 2: do it with Mike Ford. But you know, whoever the 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: Rays asked for in a trade, I think those are 25 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: the guys you got to keep. 26 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: Those are the guys you got to hang on to 27 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: and not trade. 28 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: Under any circumstances because you just know it's going to 29 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: come back and bite. You got Garrett Cole pitching tonight. 30 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 2: I'm really optimistic about Garrett Cole. He threw the ball 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: much better his last time out. He's starting to look 32 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: like the actual Garrett Cole that we're used to, and 33 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 2: if he can be that guy in the second half, 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: it'll really stabilize the Yankees' rotation. During this penance chase, 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: we saw some good things from Luis Heel. He kind 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: of bounced back from that little bit of a dead 37 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: arm period. 38 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: So Yankees could have. 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: Two legitimate aces at least for the foreseeable future. As 40 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: we head into the second half, We've gotten some good 41 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: starts from Marcus Stroman. You know, we got some good 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: stuff out in Ester Court tes. I'm feeling really good 43 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: about the Yankees right now. We're getting Clark Schmidt back 44 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: possibly in about you know, three weeks, maybe maybe a month, 45 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: and then you know, John Carlos Stanton is right around 46 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: the corner. We got the trade deadline coming up, a 47 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 2: chance to reinforce the roster, so there's a lot to 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: look forward to in the second half. This could be 49 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,119 Speaker 2: Aaron Boone's last chance with the Yankees. Look, he's had 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: some years where he's had a really good roster and 51 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: the team has not done very much. But really this 52 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: comes down, in my opinion, to Brian Cashman's roster construction 53 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: over the last few years, way too right handed over 54 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: the last few years. They made those adjustments. This year 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: they got Soto, they got Verdugo, so the pieces are 56 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: in place. Now, we just got to rely on Aaron 57 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: Boone to be able to get us out of this 58 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: funk that we were in in the back end of 59 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 2: the first half after that great start. So we're gonna 60 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: take some of your voicemails. Then we've got the Noustra 61 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: Derek prediction, and then I'll be back with the postgame 62 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: show after tonight's game, So tune in for that. 63 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: Hope you enjoy the new to the Voicemail show. 64 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: I know, y'all study I cannot believe as a bull, 65 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 3: let's do it. 66 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 4: Hey, this is a Brandon lifetime longtime Yankee fan, so 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 4: thank you so much for having me love your show. 68 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 4: You're doing a great job. I got to be honest, 69 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 4: I'm a little nervous with the second half considering how 70 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: the first half handed ended. I was at the Oriols 71 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 4: and Yankee game Saturday that we won six to one, 72 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: but that last can really hurt my heart. So you know, 73 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 4: I think I feel like the rest of the way 74 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: we're gonna end up pretty average. I don't think we're 75 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 4: gonna be sports and when we were at the beginning 76 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 4: of the season and pretty I hope that Castine makes 77 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: the moves for two arms and a hit. 78 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what the breakdown of players at the 79 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: Yankees pickup will be. I'm guessing more arms than bats 80 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: because we do have Stanton coming back, we do have 81 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 2: potentially John Birdie and the Martian all coming back. Those 82 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: should be some nice offensive upgrades, but I do think 83 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 2: they need some arms now. One thing is for sure, 84 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman is not going to sit out the trade deadline, 85 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: because Brian Cashman never sits out the trade deadline. They're 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: trying to make the playoffs. They're all in. They're gonna 87 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: try and win. With Juan Soto I expect Cashman to 88 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: be aggressive. I'm looking for kind of a twenty twenty 89 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: two type of trade deadline where he gets four or 90 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: five players. Now that didn't necessarily work out. You got 91 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: Frankie Montage, you got Andrew Benintendo, you had so many injuries. 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: Pretty much everybody he traded FO got injured. So hopefully 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 2: that doesn't happen again. But I do expect him to 94 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: be quite creative and to make the moves necessary to 95 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,119 Speaker 2: plug some holes on this roster. 96 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: Hey, good morning, Derek fuck here. Just wanted to make 97 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: a prediction for the regular season. With the Yankees' current 98 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: fifty eight wins at a winning percentage of five to 99 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: ninety two, that shakes down to my prediction of a 100 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: ninety six win season. 101 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 2: I think I would sign up for ninety six wins 102 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: right now, considering how the Yankees played in June and 103 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: early on into. 104 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: July, where they were really bad. 105 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 2: They were one of the worst teams in baseball, if 106 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: not the worst, But they got off to such an 107 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: amazing start that they're still projected for this nice win total. 108 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 2: I think I would sign up for ninety six. I 109 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: think that the Yankees could potentially do a lot better 110 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: or a lot worse, depending on how these next few 111 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 2: weeks go. If they come out of the gate strong, 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: they've got kind of a week second half schedule, I 113 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: could see them winning one hundred games, But if they 114 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: continue to slump and can't get out of this funk, 115 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: I could also see them winning eighty five games, which 116 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 2: probably doesn't get you into the playoffs. Almost certainly doesn't 117 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: get you into the playoffs. Despite the Arizona Diamondbacks last 118 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 2: year winning eighty four games and getting to the World Series, 119 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: I digress. I think the Yankees are probably gonna win 120 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: somewhere around ninety two ninety three games. That would be 121 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: my prediction. 122 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 5: Hey, just curious, with the trade deadline approaching, which prospects 123 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 5: do you think are untouchable? 124 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: If there were a prime Randy Johnson level pitcher out 125 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 2: there that you could go get, or you know, a 126 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: prime Mark McGuire type bat that you could go out 127 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 2: and get, I would say nobody. Honestly, I would say nobody. 128 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: But right now they need their outfield depth because they're, 129 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: you know, potentially gonna lose Juan Soto. They're probably not 130 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: gonna sign Alex Verdugo, so I don't think they're gonna 131 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: trade either Jason do Maguez or Spencer Jones. And then 132 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 2: you got Neely, the relief pitcher from Triple A. 133 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: Jack Neely. 134 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 2: He is six foot eight and so far between Double 135 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: A and Triple A this year, He's got a two 136 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: point three seven ERA. He's pitched thirty eight innings, he's 137 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: got fifty nine strikeouts. So I could see the Yankees 138 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 2: wanting to hold on to him and get him into 139 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: that bullpen at some point in the second half. He 140 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: could be a real difference maker. You know, thirty eight 141 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 2: innings is not a ton for a flame thrower twenty 142 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: four years old. He could be fresh in the second half, 143 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: So stay tuned. Would love to see Jack Neely get 144 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: an opportunity. 145 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, love your show man, You are my favorite. 146 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 6: This is Bobby, Bobby the Bear from down South in Atlanta. 147 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 6: Just wanted to let you know Clay Holmes will not 148 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 6: be the closer by year's end. Clay Holmes will not 149 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 6: be the closer by years in yebe. 150 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: That's a good yep, Bee, Bobby. I kind of agree 151 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: with you. I think Tanner Scott has potential to be 152 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: the closer. I think you can slide Clay Holmes back 153 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: into that setup role. 154 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be able to go 155 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: get Mason Miller. 156 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 2: I know there's been a lot of talk about Mason Miller, 157 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: but he's going to get such a haul that I 158 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: don't know if the Yankees are going to want to 159 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: spend that much on one guy. I would rather see 160 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: them spread the trades around a little bit. If the 161 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: Rangers decide to unload. I still like David Robertson. Apparently 162 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: there were some issues with David Robertson at the end 163 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: of his tenure with the Yankees, something about playoff shares 164 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: and it just it didn't end well, and so I 165 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: could see the Yankees not bringing him back. But if 166 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: he is available, that's you know, that's a guy that 167 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: I would I would look into Chad Green if the 168 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: Blue Jays decide to unload and have a fire sale. 169 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: And I'm sure there's some guys out there that Brian 170 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: Cashman's keeping an eye on, guys like you know, Tonkin 171 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: and Tim Hill that are kind of out of nowhere 172 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: names that we haven't heard of or haven't paid close 173 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 2: attention to, that he could pick up. Scott Fross is 174 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: due to come back, but the most recent report that 175 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: I've heard is that he's lost a little bit of 176 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: something and that's why he's in triple A right now 177 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: instead of them getting him back. You know, he's had 178 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: some surgeries and sometimes that can take a physical toll. 179 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: So he's not you know, reading on the pitch data 180 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: where they want him to read. So they're gonna need 181 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: some bullpen help. I still think they need another bat. 182 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 2: Has potential to be an interesting few weeks for sure. 183 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 3: Hey Derek, this is Dominic. 184 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: I believe that. 185 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:28,599 Speaker 7: The Yankees, after their meltdown with the Holmes Vulpian Verdugos 186 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 7: messed up that they had a few days ago. 187 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 5: Now, I believe that. 188 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 7: After that Baltimore Yankees scuffle, that they had the first 189 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 7: game of the series, that entire fight. I believe that 190 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 7: the Yankees wind up finishing around eighty nine wins. I 191 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 7: think that they will sweep the Rays out of the Bronx. 192 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: You had a couple of different points there, so you 193 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: brought up the little scuffle, but then you brought up 194 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 2: the bad ending. So like, was the scuffle supposed to 195 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 2: get them started off on the right track or was 196 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: it you know, something that set the Orioles up off. 197 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 2: For you know, I'm struggling to find the thread there, 198 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 2: but eighty nine wins probably does not get it done 199 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: in the American League eest. So we've got to hope 200 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: they do better than that, for sure. 201 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 5: The name's Jerry, first time caller, longtime listener, love the channel. 202 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 5: My question to you, and it's maybe more of a 203 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 5: statement than a question, is do you think the Yankees 204 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 5: will actually have you know, the common sense to technowledge 205 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 5: that Clay Holmes is a closer? I mean, the fan 206 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 5: base anyone who's more than a casual. I mean we 207 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 5: literally call this guy heart attack. Holmes cardiac play like 208 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 5: you always say, just not closer stuff. Doesn't have a strikeout, 209 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 5: pitch pitches, the contact. That just the recipe for disaster, 210 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 5: especially in close games which a closer comes into and 211 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 5: then the playoffs, it's going to be a nightmare. So 212 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 5: the crazy thing to me is that you know, you 213 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 5: don't even really have to go out and get someone. 214 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 5: I think Yankees fans would complain a lot less if 215 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 5: even Luke Weaver or Tim Hill was closing games and 216 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 5: Holmes was like a setup guy. I'm curious to see 217 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 5: get your take on that. If you think the Yankees 218 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 5: will ever swallow their pride and say that Clay is 219 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 5: in a closer, thank you. 220 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: They have to I mean they have to see that 221 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 2: this guy puts too many men on base. And I've 222 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 2: seen a lot of people say, well, Holmes technically did 223 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: his job in the final game of that Oriel series, 224 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: and yeah, he got the ground ball that should have 225 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 2: ended the game, but he also loaded the bases and 226 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: he always has trouble. He never has an easy, one, two, 227 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 2: three inning. The Yankees need a shut down, door slam 228 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 2: and closer, and if they don't recognize that, I have 229 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: zero hope for them in the second half because that 230 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 2: is an obvious fix that will make your team stronger 231 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: down the stretch, not only in the regular season, but 232 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. You can't run play homes out there 233 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 2: in the playoffs in the ninth inning. 234 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. 235 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: I think he would do much better if he was 236 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: a seventh inning guy who came in to kind of 237 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: bring the gap between the starter or the guys who 238 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 2: pitch in the middle relief and the lockdown guys at 239 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: the end of the game. Possibly Luke Weaver, possibly somebody 240 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 2: from outside the organization, but I think Clay Holmes days 241 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 2: as the Yankee closer are numbered. 242 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 4: You all right? 243 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: Today is no stra Derek prediction. I'm calling two plus 244 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 2: hits for Anthony Volpi. He obviously had a tough ending 245 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: booting that final ground ball against the Orioles, and I 246 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 2: think that's gonna light a fire under his ass. He's 247 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: had some rest and I think he's gonna come out 248 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: swinging the bat well. Two hits from Anthony Voby tonight. 249 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 2: If you enjoyed this video, please like hen subscribe.
