1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,040 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: It is Saturday, September twentieth, and the Yankees were going 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: for win number eighty seven taking on the Orioles in 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 2: game three of a four game set. Carlos Rodin was 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: on the mound and he was looking for win number 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: seventeen on the season. My recap had your reactions coming 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 2: up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. Just got to twelve, Captrol, 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: how's it going? Everybody happy Saturday Night? Now? Usually I 9 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: wait a little while to get into the audience portion 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 2: of the show, but I just saw a comment that 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: read my mind. Arjun says, if only we had won 12 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 2: yesterday one hundred percent, because the Blue Jays have now 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: lost a couple of games in a row, and if 14 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 2: the Yankees had won yesterday, there would just be one 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: game out. Now, the Blue Jays have the advantage in 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: the division and so you'd still need to basically beat 17 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 2: them by a game. But if they were just one 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: game out, they would be feeling the pressure because the 19 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: Yankees got the White Sox coming up. They got the 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: Orioles again. But for now, the Yankees are two games 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: out after this victory, and I was actually kind of 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: worried about this game tonight, because Sugano pitched pretty well 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: against the Yankees earlier this year, and you thought maybe 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 2: he had their number, but they handled him a big 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: home run from John Carlos Stanton right away. And now 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: we have officially reached the final week of the season. 27 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: The Yankees will finish out their rego season schedule one 28 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: week from tomorrow, and then presumably right now, they'll be 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 2: in the wild card round. Although there is a chance, 30 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: you know, if they run the table and Toronto continues 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: to have trouble, maybe the Yankees can pull off some 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: kind of a miracle comeback. That would be amazing. But 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: you know, while they technically still have a chance to 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: win the American League East, it's not a great It's 35 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: about the same chances I have of going to the 36 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: Olympics and doing a triple axle. It's not probably gonna happen. 37 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: The mission this week should not be to chase miracles. 38 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: It should be to play as well as you can 39 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: while also getting right for the playoffs and keeping everyone healthy. Right. 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: We don't need someone pulling a hamstring in Game one 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: point fifty eight or smashing into a wall in Game 42 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: one sixty. We want the bullpen to be rested and healthy. 43 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 2: We want the team to be clicking on all cylinders. 44 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: We want Judge and Stanton to both be hitting if possible, 45 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: and tonight they took a step in that direction. We've 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: been waiting for John Carlos Stanton to get those kind 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: of you know, nuclear isotopes in the nuclear Stanton name 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: that he has to get those percolating again. You know, 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: the last couple of days he's hit some fly balls 50 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: to the warning track that we thought, you know, he 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: just missed that, and then tonight he goes deep. So 52 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 2: maybe he's just kind of rounding into form, and man, 53 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: it would be wonderful to have him get going right 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: as the postseason begins. Same for Aaron Judge. Judge with 55 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 2: home run number forty nine tonight. We had a call 56 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: last night, maybe he won't get to fifty. I think 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: he will. I think he will get one home run 58 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: at least in this final week of the season. Let's 59 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: get to the recap. Let's get it going. So the 60 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: story tonight for me, aside from Stanton getting his four 61 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: hundred and fiftieth home run and Judge hitting number forty nine, 62 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: was Carlos Rodin will spotlight him in a few minutes, 63 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: but a really effective seven innings. He picked up his 64 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: career best seventeenth win. He had eight strikeouts, He got 65 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: the ERA barely above three. Now got a chance to 66 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: get the ERA under three and win eighteen games. I mean, 67 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: that would be a hell of a season, hell of 68 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: a season. And that's where Max Freed is right now. 69 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: So really, the Yankees have a couple of aces here 70 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: going into the postseason. Imagine if they had a healthy 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: Garrett Cole, you know, imagine, or if Luis Heal hadn't 72 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: spent half the season injured and now struggling with his command. 73 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: But all things considered, the Yankees are mostly healthy going 74 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 2: into the playoffs. The offense seems, you know, like it's 75 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: coming around Stanton four hundred and fifty home runs. You 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 2: have to wonder if he's gonna get to five hundred. 77 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: I think he will. You know, he's showing no signs 78 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 2: of slowing down with his effectiveness of his hitting. He's 79 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: actually having his best season in years power wise. But 80 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: can his body hang in there? Right He's missing He 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: already missed half the season this year. He'll probably miss 82 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: some time every year going forward. That's just how his 83 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: body is. But ain't nothing but a cheat thing. Baby, 84 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 2: nice job with home run number twenty one. He's got 85 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: a ton of RBIs now this season. Got fifty six 86 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 2: RBIs already in seventy games, so that's well over one 87 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: hundred rbi pace this year. I feel like he's one 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: of the few guys who hits home runs when there's 89 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: actually guys on base, right, we do get a lot 90 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: of solo home run I'm not picking on Aaron Judge, 91 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: but he did hit a solo home run tonight. Why 92 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 2: number forty nine. We had a question last night, what 93 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: if he doesn't get to fifty. Well, I think he's 94 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: gonna get there. I thought Volpi made a couple of 95 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: nice plays on defense tonight. There was one throw that 96 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: he made from the five and a half all, which 97 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 2: is the area between shortstop and third base, that I 98 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: thought was his strongest throw of the season. He kind 99 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: of sidearmed it, put some extra oof on it. He 100 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 2: also had a couple of hits. He was two for 101 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: three tonight, got the average over well it's up to 102 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 2: two ten. I know that's not exactly like killing the baseball, 103 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: but you know, baby steps Jazz got picked off. Didn't 104 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 2: love that, but he also had a ribby tonight. He 105 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: also made a pretty good play. At one point, Grisham 106 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: had an RBI single, and after Rodin came out of 107 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 2: the game, Weaver and Bednar finished it off with two 108 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: scoreless innings, no hits, no walks, three strikeouts, and the 109 00:05:52,600 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: Yankees take this one easily, six to one. Junior Coroma 110 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: says Rodan has turned into an ace. He's definitely pitching 111 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: like the ace he was before he came to the Yankees. 112 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: Now he was a certified ace before he got to 113 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: the Yankees. You know, you go back and look at 114 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: his number, sub three era, ton of strikeouts. The guy 115 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: was almost impossible to hit. But that first season with 116 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: the Yankees kind of poison the well among a lot 117 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: of Yankees fans. But he was bounced back. Last year. 118 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 2: He went sixteen to nine with a three point nine 119 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 2: to six ERA, So he won a ton of games. 120 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: But he wasn't like amazing, right. His era was two 121 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 2: point eight eight in San Francisco in twenty two, and 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 2: it was two point three seven in twenty twenty one 123 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 2: with the White Sox. Before that, he was not really 124 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 2: a great pitcher, so he had kind of found it 125 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 2: and become an ace and that's what got him that 126 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: big contract. Then all of a sudden in twenty twenty three, 127 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: you're thinking, is this guy Jarrett right? Is he Carl Pavano? 128 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: He went three and eight with a six point eight 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 2: five to touchdown fourteen starts. He was injured, he was 130 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 2: out of shape. Got to commend the guy, and I 131 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: promise I'm giving him an honorable mention because he is 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: not the Belt winner tonight. But sixteen wins last year 133 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: three point nine to six, made thirty two starts. He's 134 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: made thirty two starts already this year, seventeen and nine 135 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: with a three point four ERA. But the Belt tonight 136 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: goes to the man who hit a three run home 137 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: run in the first inning and number four fifty of 138 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 2: his career, mister John Carlos Stanton big g And we're 139 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 2: getting those nuclear isotopes rattling or whatever it is. Nuclear 140 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: isotopes do opposite field home run. That's gonna come in 141 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 2: handy in the postseason, hopefully, Doug Rouse says blue Jay's 142 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: division leaders two Tigers is won and the Mariners won. 143 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: Can't remember the last time all three divisions came down 144 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: to the last week. This is gonna be crazy. We 145 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: love it, and Rob Manford loves it. But this is 146 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: going to be a fun week. You are absolutely right, Doug. 147 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: And thankfully the Yankees have kind of a soft schedule. 148 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 2: You got Baltimore tomorrow, you got an off day on Monday, 149 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 2: and then you got White Sox on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 150 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: and then Baltimore on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and that's it, 151 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: and then it's the postseason. So we'll see. There is 152 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: a realistic chance the Yankees could go what seven and 153 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: oh down the stretch. They really could. It would not 154 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 2: shock me if they go at minimum six and one, 155 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: but I think you gotta go seven and oh and 156 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: hope that the Blue Jays run into some trouble. But 157 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: nice job by the belt Winter Tonight. Talk a little 158 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: bit about Carlos Rodn and I mentioned win number seventeen 159 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 2: is a new career high, but there's a few other 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: numbers that I want to mention. He's seventh in the 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: league in ERA with a three point four ERA, so 162 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: he's lowered it almost a run from last year and 163 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: there's still got a chance to lower it. A little 164 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: bit more. He's gonna have another start, and that start 165 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 2: will be against the team he just dominated. It'll be 166 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: next Friday at home. I believe, as long as they 167 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: keep him on schedule, and you know, if he pitches 168 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: like he did tonight, you got a feeling Baltimore will 169 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: just be They're not gonna be playing for anything. They're 170 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: just gonna be trying to, you know, end the season. 171 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: They're gonna have a couple of days left, you know, 172 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: maybe give him some rookies so chance to play. And 173 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: I think if he goes out there and says, I'm 174 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: gonna attack the zone, I'm gonna get my eighteenth win, 175 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: I'm gonna get that Era under three, and I'm gonna 176 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 2: win this game and help the Yankees get to the 177 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 2: you know, Eastern title or or maintain the top wild 178 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: card spot. You know, that's good motivation for him. He 179 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: was very efficient tonight. I know he only went seven, 180 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 2: but it looked for a minute like he might be 181 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: able to go eight. And he was under one hundred pitches, 182 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: So I mean, if you wanted to, you probably could 183 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: have run him out there, but no need at this point. 184 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: But I thought he was he was getting quick outs. 185 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: And we were talking the other day about wins and 186 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: how I still find them important even though a lot 187 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: of like baseball pundits and a lot of baseball writers 188 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 2: and the people on X or whatever, they laugh at 189 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 2: you if you if you mentioned that wins matter. But 190 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: I think that they show that you're pitching effectively beyond 191 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: five innings on a regular basis. So while I don't 192 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: read a lot into a guy having few wins because 193 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 2: it could mean you don't have good offensive support or 194 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 2: you know whatever, bad bad team I do, I do 195 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: tend to read into a lot of wins right as 196 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 2: somebody who's reliable and getting deep into the game. Hell 197 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: of a performance by Carlos Rodan. Mary Best says she 198 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: loves Rodan now since last season. I agree, he's become 199 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 2: one of my favorite pitchers to watch. We got another 200 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 2: super chat here. Brian Maashman says Harrison Cohen's era A 201 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: triple A is down to one point five to seven. 202 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: Maybe another prospect to look out for watch out, But 203 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: I think it's too late in the season to get 204 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: him on the roster, So maybe that's something we'll tackle 205 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: more in the offseason and in spring training. But appreciate 206 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: the heads up. All right, let's take a couple of 207 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: voicemails here and then I'll let you get back to 208 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: your Saturday night. This one is. 209 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: Brian Carlos looked great today, had just awesome stuff all 210 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: day long. If we get that version of him and 211 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: the version of Freed that we've been getting like this 212 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: past month, we have two really solid options at the 213 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: top end of this start in rotation. So that's something 214 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: positive to look forward to at least moving along here. 215 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: But was just curious, why do you think this team 216 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: just sucks so bad in the middle of this season, 217 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: Like the past five or six years, We've called it 218 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: the June swoon, the Boom swoon, whatever you want to 219 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: call it. It just blows my mind that they can 220 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: look so good for know, those beginning couple months of 221 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the year and sometimes these these last few months of 222 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: the year. But in the middle there it's just a 223 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: totally different team. Just wanted to know if you had 224 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: a different diagnosis kind of looking from afar. 225 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: All right, man, my diagnosis is that Aaron Boone is 226 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 2: bad at getting this team out of funks. That's what 227 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: it is. You know, when the team starts to play bad. 228 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: He doesn't have the ability to get the ship back 229 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: on track. It tends to happen eventually because the team 230 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: is typically stacked with a ton of talent. But there's 231 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: no reason this team shouldn't have five or six more 232 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: wins right now. He sticks with guys who are struggling 233 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: for way too long. Devin Williams play homes last year. 234 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 2: I mean the people that watch the game every single day, 235 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: the fans. A lot of times they get stuff before 236 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: the manager does because the manager has to see the person, 237 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: They have to interact with the person. You know, there's 238 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 2: there's like a there's a camaraderie that comes with that, right, 239 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: There's a certain looking after the guy's feelings that comes 240 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 2: with that. But fans, we're objective about it. We're not 241 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: maybe I mean objective is probably the wrong word, but 242 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 2: we're We don't give a shit if Devin williams feelings 243 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 2: are hurt. This is about wins, right. If you're struggling, 244 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: take a seat for a while and let somebody who's 245 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: performing get it done. I think it's a long season, 246 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: and guys tend to let their foot off the gas 247 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 2: a little bit here and there, especially during the hot 248 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: summer months. I don't know if there's a diagnosis beyond 249 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: you know, those two things, BOONM not getting these guys 250 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: to play with urgency and guys getting worn down a 251 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: little bit, you know, after that initial push wears off, 252 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: you know, the honeymoon phase of hey, we're getting off 253 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: to a great start. You let your foot off the gas, 254 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: you know, and that's what happens. But at least they're 255 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: coming together here late best record in baseball now for 256 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: the last several weeks and looking good going into the playoffs. 257 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 2: We'll see if they're able to get it done in 258 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: the bullpen. Their bullpen has not been good this year. 259 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: Let's see if they're able to get it done fundamentally. 260 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 2: Their fundamentals have not been good this year. Here's Eli. 261 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: Hey, this is Eli's from President California, where Judge went 262 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: to college. Rodonna's through seven innings, only one run. I 263 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 3: think he should be the Game one starter in the 264 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 3: wild card. I think the DS is out of the 265 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: question here. But he has looked completely different this year. 266 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: I mean, his his poise on the mound. If you 267 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: guys remember when he first got to New York, he 268 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: was kind of like he's kind of a brat, to 269 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: be honest. When everything's were in going his way, you 270 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: can see his body just kind of shut down. So 271 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 3: I think he was completely different. I think Garrett Cole 272 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: has helped him out a lot. I think you go 273 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: to Rodon game one, you know he's gonna deal. I 274 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: think Free would be a phenomenal Game two starter, and 275 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 3: then you can kind of toss up Hill or Schlitler 276 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: or whoever you decide. I don't know, let me know 277 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: what you guys think. 278 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: It's a good question. I think I still go with 279 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 2: Freed in game one. I think Freed gives you your 280 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 2: best chance, and then Rodan in game two a second 281 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: ace that can never hurt in game three. Right now, 282 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: it's tough for me. I mean, I think Schlitler is 283 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: gonna be an ace level pitcher. I think he's fantastic. 284 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: I think Louis Heal has ace level stuff and on 285 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: any given night he's got no hit stuff. But both 286 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: of them have command issues. Right now, Will Warren again 287 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 2: a rookie, he's been a little bit up and down. 288 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: I think he's got good stuff. I think he's got 289 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: good swing and miss stuff. You know, i'd almost rather go. 290 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: I think this is gonna sound astine because this guy's 291 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: not even in the rotation right now. I'd almost rather 292 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: go three lefties in a three game set. Yard Bro 293 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: is number three, right, how many times have we seen 294 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 2: him keep guys off balance and put up really good starts. 295 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: But since he's come back, he really hasn't been that 296 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: guy except for that first relief outing where he went 297 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: five innings. But they're not gonna do that. They're gonna 298 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: go with Probably Louis Heal would be my guests as 299 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: their number three starter, just seniority. Pitched last year, pitched 300 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: in the World Series, has has some experience, but I 301 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: think free number one it would be my go to. 302 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: Retro Tourna says Derek, would you rather get division or 303 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: wild Card? What kind of question is that? Of course? 304 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: I would rather win the division? Are you kidding me? Now? 305 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: The J's are playing the Red Sox, so you know 306 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna be weird pulling for the Red Sox. But 307 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 2: as long as the Yankees are winning, they'll gain on somebody. Right. 308 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: But Rinaldo says, Nah, you smoking, Bro, Maybe this one's 309 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: for me. Don't smoke crack no, But I mean remember 310 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: how good Yarborough was earlier in the year. I mean, 311 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: that's just what I'm saying. I mean, just a veteran experience. 312 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: But you know, I want somebody who throws strikes in 313 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: a do or die playoff game. You can't be walking guys, 314 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 2: because then then the crowd starts to eat. Like if 315 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 2: you're at home, the crowd starts to get agitated. If 316 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: you're on the road, the crowd starts to like get 317 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: amped up against you. I want guys who throw strikes 318 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: in a big playoff game. Now you can take care 319 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: of this by just winning games one and two. Boom boom, 320 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 2: get it done. And then you're looking at game one 321 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: of a division series, potentially with a young guy Schlitler 322 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: or Warren or Louise Heel. Maybe you go Yarborough there, 323 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: maybe you go Opener. I don't know. It's gonna be weird, 324 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: but I think that Boone is gonna have some decisions 325 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 2: to make. All right, here's Bobby. 326 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Bobby from Port Saint luci Lefelow Marlin and Yankee 327 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 4: Fans ins nineteen sixty two. But I just want to 328 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 4: tell you, if they would just take some of the 329 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 4: highlight films from the Marlin games that were beaten Detroit 330 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 4: and all these other good teams. Look how they won 331 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 4: fundamental baseball. Hadded, the two thousand and three Yankees beat them. 332 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: I mean, the Marlins beat the Yankees fundamentally. First two 333 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 4: guys get on and they get knocked in. The Yankees 334 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,440 Speaker 4: gotta go back to the ninety six geam that was 335 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 4: like to two three mollins. Fundamental baseball. 336 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I'm not going to argue about 337 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: the fundamental baseball. The Yankees do need to play better 338 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: fundamental baseball. But I don't think the Marlins are the 339 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 2: organization the Yankee should aspire to be. Right, They're seventy 340 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: five and eighty, they're not going to the playoffs or 341 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: seventeen games out. They don't spend, you know, not a 342 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: great organization. But I do agree that there needs to 343 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: be more of an emphasis on fundamentals.

So David says, 372 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 2: do you think long term rice catches effects as it 373 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 2: bats and maybe wears him down. That's basically I'm paraphrasing 374 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 2: because it's it's it's written poorly. 375 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 4: English, mother, god do you speak it? 376 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 2: But yes, I do think that being a catcher wears 377 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: you down. Every catcher that you ask will say that, 378 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: but it it's not universal. I mean, catchers can have 379 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: outlier great seasons. We saw Salvador Perez have some good 380 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: offensive seasons. You know, you know, you can be a 381 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 2: good offensive catcher. Horiy Pisada hit three thirty seven one 382 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: year as a catcher. You know, even Girardi, you know 383 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: he was a two ninety hitter. A couple of times 384 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: he didn't hit for a lot of power. Mike Stanley 385 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: would hit twenty plus home run. There has been you know, 386 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: Johnny Bench was a great catcher. 387 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: Who it for? 388 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: You know, a ton of power. It can happen. Cal 389 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: Rawley fifty six home runs this year and a switch 390 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: hitter too, new record. But I think those guys are 391 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 2: mostly outliers. There definitely is something to you know, all 392 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: the foul tips you take as a catcher and stuff 393 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: like that. Michael Vi says Girardi is a god in 394 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: the booth. One hundred percent agree he's fantastic. Chris Petrel 395 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 2: says Devin Williams can redeem himself if he pitches well 396 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. If Devin Williams pitches well in the playoffs, 397 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: not only will I take back every mean thing I've 398 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: said about him, but I will give him. I will 399 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 2: award him like a special belt, Comeback Player of the 400 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 2: Season belt, redemption belt or something. We'll give him something. 401 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: But we're not giving him a new contract. He's a 402 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: free agent and he can even if he pitches well, 403 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: he can find somewhere else. And then Orboro says, Freedz 404 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: blister issue led to several losses. Yeah, he had a 405 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 2: chance to win twenty games if he didn't have that blister. 406 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: But all right, everybody, thanks for watching one more time. 407 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 2: Yankees winning this one. 408 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 6: Yanks and I am gonna head back outside, sit by 409 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 6: the fire for a little bit and enjoy my Saturday night. 410 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: I'll see you tomorrow.
