1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Going to cook.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 2: It's all.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: All right. Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back, little pregame show

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: here on Monday, April twenty eighth, Yankees kicking off a

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: series against the Baltimore Orioles. And look, the Oriols are

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: off to a slow start. They are ten and seventeen,

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: and so you want to take advantage of this right

8
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: now while they are struggling. Also, happy birthday to mister

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi. Volpi was five for ten in the series

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: against the Jays after being the subject of you know

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: a lot of problems last week. I mean, fans were

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: calling in, they were upset. We had multiple podcasts in

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: which Volpi was the topic. And look, to see him

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: turning around is good. I think that the hit he

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: had late in the game yesterday, and I mentioned this

16
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: in the post game, there was a line drive that

17
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: he hit over the second basement's head, kind of up

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: the middle. I thought the approach on that at bat

19
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: was spectacular because they were working with high fastballs, which

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: he's been swinging through because he's been trying to still

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: like launch them. But he adjusted and he kind of

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: leveled off his swing and he went up and got it,

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: and he let the ball travel deep too, so he

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: wasn't even trying to pull it, and he took it

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the other way for it was kind of up the middle,

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: but you know, to the right side of second base.

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: So nothing spectacular in the box score, you know from that,

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: but it was a good sign if you're watching closely.

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: So let's hope that he has a big series. Baltimore

30
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: is going to look a little bit different than it

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: did last year. If you have been there or you know,

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: watched the Yankees play there, you know that they moved

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the fences back in recent years. But they moved them

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: back into a more reasonable distance. It's still not as

35
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: close as it used to be. It used to be

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four feet to left center field,

37
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: which was an absolute joke. I can't tell you how

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: many first row home runs we've had over the years there.

39
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: But some of you will remember Tino Martinez nineteen ninety six.

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: It was about this time of year and Tino was

41
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: replacing Don Maddingly, who was obviously an icon with the Yankees,

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: and Tino got off to a bit of a slow start.

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: He was kind of having a start like Juan Soto's

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: having with the Mets right now where you know, he

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: just wasn't hitting like himself. He wasn't hitting for power.

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I think he had maybe one or two home runs

47
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: at this point. And then there's this long extra inning game.

48
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: It was raining, and late in the game he hit

49
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: an opposite field grand slam that just went over that.

50
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it went three hundred and sixty four feet

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: and one inch, that's how close it was. And it

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: got Tino started. And you know, I just I loved

53
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: that little rinky dink ballpark. I think it was a

54
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: mistake to move the Mount Baltimore back and moving it

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: back in, we'll see how it plays. But one guy

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: who's not gonna, you know, be bothered by any distance

57
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: is Aaron Judge. He homered yesterday, his eighth of the season.

58
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: He always hits well in Baltimore. He's been in a

59
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: bit of a home run drought, but he's been getting

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: his hits, so nobody's complaining. But when he gets going

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: with the home runs, it's like a storm gathering, right.

62
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: He'll hit one or two. You know, those are like

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: the little thunderclouds rumbling, and you know then all of

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, you look up. Ten games later, and he's

65
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: got seven home runs in his last ten games, including

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: a couple of two home run games. He's got to

67
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: get some protection in the lineup, and tonight Bellinger will

68
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: be hitting behind Aaron Judge. And you know, Bellinger's been

69
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: off to a little bit of a slow start. We're

70
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: going to take a look at his stat cast numbers

71
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: real quick. He is in the sixteenth percentile of x WOLD,

72
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: which is not great. Batting run value and base running

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: value both way down. He looks good on the basis

74
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: to me, his fielding run values about league average. So

75
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: off to a very very slow start, Bellingery, let's hope

76
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: he gives the Orioles reason to pitch to Aaron Judge

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: in Camden Yards. In his career, he's hitting three zero

78
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: nine with twenty four home runs in fifty six games.

79
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: So the dude just smashes that. That's a one point

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: one seven nine ops. And on the mound for the

81
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: Orioles tonight is Tomy Yuki Sugano, who I will share

82
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: his stat cast numbers as well. Doesn't really strike guys out.

83
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: You see, he's pitched twenty eight innings here has only

84
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: struck out nine guys. Now he's thirty five years old.

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: He's a rookie from Japan, and nothing spectacular on his

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: baseball savon. He doesn't walk many hitters, doesn't really get

87
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: a lot of swing and miss gets some ground balls

88
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: at above average rate, probably because he has so many pitches.

89
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: He throws a splitter, a sweeper, a cutter, a four seamer,

90
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: a sinker, and a curve. The four seemer is only

91
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: ninety two miles an hour. He does have a ninety

92
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: two mile an hour sinker as well. That could contribute

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: to some ground balls, but I, you know, I don't

94
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: see him having a lot to get the Yankees out

95
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: with tonight. That being said, he's probably gonna throw eight

96
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: shutout innings and strike out fifteen because that's how the

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: Yankees handle guys they haven't seen before. All Right, you

98
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: guys want to talk about the lineup real quick. I

99
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: was just checking it out and there's something interesting here.

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: Ben Rice not in the lineup tonight, one of the

101
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: yankees better hitters this year, obviously, and he is getting

102
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: the day off. Oswald Perrazza in the lineup tonight. He

103
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: is batting ninth, so he gets a start. Trent Grisham

104
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: with the dad muscles yesterday in the home run he

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: is in your leadoff spot tonight. Aaron Judge batting second,

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: and I think he's I think he's just getting ready

107
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: to go on a home run Barrage, I really do.

108
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger batting third, Paul Goldschmith batting fourth, Goldie having

109
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: a very solid season. I could see Goldie having a

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: big series. He's a guy who seems like he's getting

111
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: ready to heat up with the power. Just by watching

112
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: some of the launch angles. He's hit some balls foul

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: that were near missus. Wouldn't shock me if he goes

114
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: deep in this series, maybe even tonight. Jazz Chisholm, who

115
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: we will take a look at on his stat cast

116
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: numbers for a moment. I see above average everywhere, and

117
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't get it. He's hitting one seventy eight. He

118
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: does have some power, seven home runs, six tolen bases,

119
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: the range has been good at second base. The one

120
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: thing I thought would be stronger is his arm, which

121
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it's surprising to me to see it in

122
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: the eighteenth percentile. And also they're showing his sprint speed

123
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: as in the forty third percent tile, which I just

124
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: don't get because he's one of the fastest players in baseball.

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: Maybe he just hasn't had to turn it on yet. Anyway,

126
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: he is in the five hole. Then you got Anthony Volpi,

127
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: the birthday boy. He is in the sixth hole. Austin

128
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: Well batting seventh behind the dish, and Jason Domingez is

129
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: your designated hitter tonight. They don't want them patrolling that

130
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: big left field in Baltimore, getting him a half a

131
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: day on his feet, and oswald Perrazza will be playing

132
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: third base and batting ninth against the righty. He doesn't

133
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: play against righties all that often, so I find that interesting.

134
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: We'll see if this is a trend. Maybe there's something

135
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: up with Oswaldo. Maybe they just want to give Oswaldo

136
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: a day. There was a doubleheader yesterday. You never know

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: who's feeling it, who fouled the ball off their foot

138
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: or whatever. So let's take a look at Will Warren,

139
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: who is making the start tonight. Sixth start of the

140
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: season for mister Warren. Last time out against the Guardians,

141
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: he went five innings. He gave up two runs, thought

142
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: he threw the ball pretty well. He has yet to

143
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: get sixteen outs in a major league game. He had

144
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: five innings three times, four innings once and one in

145
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: two thirds innings once. By the way, I'm seeing some

146
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: predictions in the chat. Get your predictions in tonight. I'll

147
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: give my No Stra Derek prediction in just a minute.

148
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: But I'll take five good innings from Will Warren tonight

149
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: if he can give it to you, and maybe that'll,

150
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, get him some momentum going because he pitched

151
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: pretty well last time out. If he could throw another

152
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: good game, then he's facing the Rays again, who he

153
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: only got five outs against last time. So you know,

154
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: this could be a good momentum builder. E ra is

155
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: following us down to four point seventy nine. Be nice

156
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 1: to get it down under four and a half tonight,

157
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: maybe you know, five five and two thirds, you know,

158
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: maybe set a new personal best. I'd love to see

159
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: him get through six, maybe one or two runs. I

160
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: think that would go a lot towards boosting his confidence

161
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: as he prepares to face the Rays again. So that's

162
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: where we're at. Okay, let's go ahead and get your

163
00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: predictions here. Let's see. Ian Verna says Rice looked a

164
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: bit off the past few days. He likes the day off.

165
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: I'll give you that he has kind of slowed down

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of days. Let's see the save situation.

167
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Says Volpi has to hit a home run tonight on

168
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: his birthday. We'll see. He's also predicting Goldie home run.

169
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean, how many predictions do you get? Are we

170
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: just gonna Are you just gonna have all the predictions?

171
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's one way to guarantee you get one right.

172
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you know, I want to go with

173
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Judge home run because he hits so well in Baltimore,

174
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: but the fact that Bellinger isn't hitting much behind him

175
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: means they're probably gonna be careful with him. This is

176
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the division game. The Oriols are trying to make up ground.

177
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: The Oels are one of those teams that we have

178
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: seen walk Aaron Judge a lot in the past. So

179
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: even though I want to take Aaron Judge, I'm not

180
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: gonna take Aaron Judge. Lucas Detra says, Judge is verdict

181
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: home run, double three rb ods, I'll sign up for it.

182
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: Raymond wants to know if Vivas is still on the team. No,

183
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: he got sent back down. Spinning Mantis says Martian is

184
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: going deep again. I'll take that he hasn't gone deep

185
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and you know several games he did have a big

186
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: double that he lashed into the left field gap last night.

187
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: We'll take that. Laurie C says Devin Williams will strike

188
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: out three tonight in his fantasy league. Yikes, Gregory just

189
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: staying with a win at Yankee Stadium. South keep those

190
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: predictions coming in. I do think the Yankees are gonna

191
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: win tonight. I don't think that Segano has enough to

192
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: get the Yankees out, and his stuff just isn't overwhelming.

193
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: He does mix and match a little bit, but typically

194
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: guys who can beat the Yankees are guys who strike

195
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: guys out, and he just doesn't strike out enough hitters,

196
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: doesn't miss enough bats. I think somebody's gonna run into

197
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: a home run. I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Jazz

198
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: CHISHLM jazz Chism going deep tonight. That is the Nostra

199
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Derek prediction for the evening. Let's get a few more

200
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: of your predictions. Russell Bianca says, I predict a home

201
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: run and a multi hit game from Jazz. So we

202
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: are locked. We are in lockstep here, and yes, Jazz

203
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: does need to get hot again. That would be nice.

204
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 1: He is so electric when he's swinging the bat. Well,

205
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: so me and Russell Bianca, we are quantumly entangled tonight

206
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: and we will try and pick up a Jazz home

207
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: run with our predictions here. All right, ladies, a quick

208
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: word from our sponsor, then I'll be back. We'll take

209
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: a few more comments, questions, all that stuff as we

210
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: prepare for the game to begin in just under two hours.

211
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: Godfather, I love the way that modern technology has changed

212
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: the way that we buy sell trade cards, even rip packs.

213
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: They're called slab packs, and they're on Arena Club. No

214
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: more shuffling through everything. The common cards are all over

215
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 3: the place. Stuff's getting folded out and all messed up.

216
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 3: Arena Club keeps it nice and tight in your digital showroom.

217
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: And then when you want that card and you want

218
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: to show it off, what do you do?

219
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: You just let Arena Club.

220
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: Know, let them know, and grab it and take it

221
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: with you show it off online. I think this is huge,

222
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: just because the fact that you talked about cutting the corners.

223
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: You want to get a card that doesn't break or

224

Speaker 2: What do you what do you say?

234
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Dwayne wants five strikeouts from warning. Be a fantasy pick

235
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: or something like that, or DraftKings type of deal. Yeah,

236
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: he generally misses bats, so I like your odds of

237
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: getting that one. I like him. T eighty five says

238
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: he has the Yankees winning five to three. I'll sign

239
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: up for that right now. Orssee says six to three.

240
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that too. Hoodie with the flu says,

241
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: I think we will see spring training. Will Warren today

242
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: his stuff was filthy this spring, and then Jay Esco says,

243
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Dad Power Grisham goes deep tonight. All right, So here's

244
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: what I want to do real quick. I want to

245
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: take a look at some of the former Yankees and

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: see how they are doing. Let's start with Alex Verdugo.

247
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: He is off to a good start with the Atlanta Braves,

248
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: hitting three thirty three twelve for thirty six. He has

249
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: not gone deep yet, does have five RBIs, but off

250
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: to a good start. Obviously did not have a great

251
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: season with the Yankees last year, but I know a

252
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: lot of fans really liked him. They just found him

253
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: to be a fun guy. But ultimately it is about

254
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: production and he didn't produce enough. So Doo hitting two

255
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: forty eight so far with the Mets. He does have

256
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: a one point zero war so you know, on pace

257
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 1: for a good season. Uh, the batting average two forty eight,

258
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: on base percentage three seventy four ops just seven to seventy,

259
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: so well below what he had last year. Not hitting

260
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: with judge behind him, although Pete Alonso is a good

261
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: hitter behind him as well. Just probably feeling the pressure

262
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: for that contract a little bit. And you know last

263
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: year you see it two eighty eight, so its averaged

264
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: down forty points and he's on pace for what eighteen

265
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty home run so about half as many and

266
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: probably about what twelve times six is what seventies? He's

267
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: won on pace for about seventy two RBIs Is that right?

268
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm not good at math. More of an English guy.

269
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Tommy Kinley oh eighty seven ERA so far with the Tigers,

270
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: ten in the third innings, eight strikeouts, still throwing change

271
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: up zero point five eight one whip Tigers off to

272
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: a really good start, really good start. Clabor Torres also

273
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: with the Tigers, hitting two eighty one, two home runs,

274
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: three point thirty eight on base percentage one sixteen ohps

275
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: plus and rockin' a big boy beard. That is a

276
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: good beard. You wonder if the Yankees would let him

277
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: grow his beard out that much. I doubt it. I

278
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: doubt it. So that's where we're at right now. Take

279
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: a few comments here. Take the Canoli says, thoughts expectations

280
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: for DJ. I know he's tearing the cover off the

281
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: ball against double A pitching right now, but I'm not sold.

282
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: I saw him the last couple of years. He had

283
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: nothing left in the feet, nothing left in the legs.

284
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: We saw him in spring training get like one at

285
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: bat and then get hurt. I think right now he's

286
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: going through the motions and he's waiting on good pitches

287
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: to hit from bad pitchers who throw a lot of

288
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: pitches down the middle, and he's teeing off because he

289
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: doesn't have to really get it going against those guys.

290
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: He can rely on just talent, doesn't have to bring

291
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: in that extra physicality. But when he gets back to

292
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: the major leagues and he's facing guys throwing one hundred

293
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: and one with nasty sweepers, and he's, you know, trying

294
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: to win major league games. I don't know that his

295
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: legs are gonna hold up. I don't know that his

296
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: body's gonna hold up. But if he comes back and

297
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: can contribute even as a league average player, you'll take it.

298
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: But I just I am a little bit suspect. On

299
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: DJ Lemayhew Laurie C says Soto's mom is off to

300
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: a good start with her closing allowing our clothing allowance.

301
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: She looks very nice. Felix Eduardo says this team has

302
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: the potential. I definitely think they're a AL East winning

303
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: potential team in the playoffs, anything can happen. I could

304
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: see the Guardians being a real problem in the postseason.

305
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: I could see the Texas Rangers being a problem in

306
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: the postseason. If they ever really get going with the bats.

307
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: They're fifteen and thirteen. Seattle has had some pitching injuries,

308
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: but they're at the top of the Al West right now.

309
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: They have a really good pitching staff obviously can shut

310
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: anybody down. The Tigers with Tarik Skoubel are going to

311
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: be dangerous, and they already took two out of three

312
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: from the Yankees when they played in a very cold

313
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: Detroit series where they had to move the games from

314
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: night time to daytime because it was so cold. So,

315
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a long season. Anything can happen, but

316
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really good about this Yankee squad right now,

317
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: off to a seventeen and eleven start. Let's go ahead

318
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: and look through some of the numbers where we're at

319
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: so far. So the team leader in War is obviously

320
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge at two and a half War on pace

321
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: for like a twelve War this year. Anthony Volpie in

322
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: there at number two. He always gets off to a

323
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: good start in War. Typically he hits much better in

324
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: the first half of the season. Jazz Chisholm third with

325
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: a one point oho War. A lot of that accumulated

326
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: in that first weekend when he went crazy Max Freed

327
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: with a one war. That's what I don't get. The

328
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: dude is four and oh or what five and oh

329
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: with a one point four to three era? How is

330
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: that a one war? That should be at least two

331
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: too and a half. Luke Weaver with a one war,

332
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: He's been excellent so far, unscored upon. Trent Grisham has

333
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: been accumulating war as much war as Sodo ben Rice

334
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: zero point seven war. So let's go through the stats.

335
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: Wells hitting two thirteen with four homers and fifteen RBIs

336
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Goldie hitting three sixty five right now three sixty five

337
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: with an eight eighty nine ops jazz. The ops is

338
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 1: down to seven oh six. He does have seven home runs,

339
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: but he's hitting just one seventy eight Volpi hitting two

340
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: twenty eight. Has been on the rise the last couple

341
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: of days. A second no Stra Derek pick could be

342
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: that he picks up a couple of hits tonight. I

343
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: like the way he's been swinging the bath the last

344
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: couple of days, so maybe he stays hot. I don't

345
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: think that Sigano has the heat to get it by Volpi,

346
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: so that's gonna be my second no Stra Derek pick.

347
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: Is that not only will Jazz Chishm go deep, but

348
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpey gets a couple of knocks. Oswaldo Cabrera has

349
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: seen the most reps at third base. He's off to

350
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: a decent start, hitting two seventy eight, one home run

351
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: or eight RBIs. I wish he had eighty rbiys ops

352
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: just below seven hundred. Dominguez two thirty eight, two home runs,

353
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: twelve RBIs, three stolen bases. He has yet to be

354
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: caught on the basis in his big league career. He

355
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: has struck out twenty nine times in his first eighty

356
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: four bats. That's not good. That's too many. He has

357
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: drawn eleven walks, though, so he's been patient. Three point

358
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: thirty three on base percentage more than solid for this

359
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: point in the year for a rookie. Trent Grisham off

360
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: the chain right now two ninety eight, seven home runs,

361
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: fourteen RBIs and just getting stronger every day. Aaron Judge

362
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: four h six with eight home runs and twenty seven ribbies,

363
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: obviously making another MVP campaign out for himself, and Ben

364
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: Rice getting the night off two fifty nine average, six

365
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: home runs, eleven RBIs, and Bellinger hitting one ninety one

366
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: with two home runs and thirteen ribbies so far. So

367
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: we go through the pitching rotation. Will Warren obviously getting

368
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: the start tonight. We talked about him. Schmidt pitched pretty

369
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: well yesterday. Stroman still on the IL. He's got eleven

370
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: point five to seven ERA, Max Freed been dominant and

371
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: he was great yesterday. And Carlos Rodin three and three

372
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: with a three point five zero ERA. Carrasco, he's been

373
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: serviceable right now, but he's you want more from a

374
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: number three starter. Obviously five point two six ERA so

375
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: far this season. So that's where we're at, you know,

376
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: as we're just approaching the thirty game mark here and

377
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: the Yankees will kick off a big series against a

378
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: team that has struggled. So this is an opportunity to

379
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: create some distance between the Orioles, who are already six

380
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: and a half games back. If you can knock them,

381
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, eight and a half, nine and a half back,

382
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be tough for them to come back

383
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: and take that lead from the Yankees, especially if the

384
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: Yankees are getting some guys back, you know, Lewiseiga, Louis Heel, John,

385
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton so good stuff happening for the Yanks. Let's

386
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: hope they can pick up a winning game one tonight.

387
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: I'll be back after the game, and then tomorrow night,

388
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: Aiden Bechamp will be on. He hasn't been on yet

389
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: this year. He's my social media guy. He's gonna come on.

390
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the Yankees, just kind of the

391
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: state of the team, you know, how we're feeling about things.

392
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: And I'm sure we'll look at some stat cast stuff

393
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: that's sort of his mail you. And then Friday, No

394
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: got my days mixed up. Wednesday, they'll wrap up the

395
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: series against the Orioles and we'll preview the upcoming home

396
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: stand which will cover the Rays and the Padres. Padres

397
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: coming to town. That should be a fun series, but

398
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: Padres really really good. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I'll

399
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: see you after the game. Hey, while I've got you here,
