1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Just wanted to cook at Jill. 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody, welcome back. Well, we found out 3 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 2: today some news that I'm a little bit concerned with 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: that the Yankees should be very concerned with, and that 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 2: is that Anthony Volpi has a torn labrum. And there's 6 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: a few reasons why this is bad. I'll try and 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 2: get to as many of them as I can. 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 3: One. 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: The Yankees just can't diagnose an injury to save their life. 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 3: They just can't. 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: You know, Clint Frazier with his concussions, they killed his career. 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 2: Luis Severino and his shoulder that was mishandled. I mean 13 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 2: Greg Byrd and his feet. How many different injuries have 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 2: they screwed up over the year, over the years, Carl Pavano, 15 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: Jacoby Ellsbury, pick your punchline with those guys. And now 16 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: Anthony Volpi with a small labrum tear that has apparently 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: been lingering since early May, and they kept running him 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: out there. This is not a bruise, this is not sorenus. 19 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: This is a labrum. It doesn't just get better. And 20 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: I know this because I lived it. I tore my 21 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 2: laborum in two thousand and eight and it never stopped hurting. 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: It hurts to this day. Greg Bird also tore his labor. 23 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: Miguel and Duar to tour his labor. It took years 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: for Andrew har to be able to hit again, and 25 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 2: Greg Bird was never the same. He also had the 26 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,320 Speaker 2: feet injury. I mean, he had a lot of problems, 27 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: but and Duar took a while for him to you know, 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 2: really become a dangerous hitter again. He had a good 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: year this year. But you know, maybe this is part 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: of what explains why Volpi has looked awful this year. 31 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: And here's the part that gets me. They don't have 32 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: a backup plan. Well they have Cabi Arrow now, but 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: they didn't have anybody months ago, no insurance policy, nobody 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: a triple A waiting, no real roster construction to cover it. 35 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: You know what if it was a worse tear and 36 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: he had to have surgery, where do you go. I mean, 37 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: that's roster construction. That's just Cashman's roster construction. And now 38 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: the Yankees are kind of boxed into a corner. 39 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: Because do you. 40 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: Give him the surgery after the season or do you 41 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: try and like rehabit right? Do you go into next 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: season right, thinking, well he was just hurt last year. 43 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 2: Maybe he'll feel better, maybe he'll play better. I feel 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 2: like they tried that with DJ Lemayhew and his feet. 45 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: Another thing they screwed up. Or do you admit the obvious. 46 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: The kid needs surgery, He's not going to be right 47 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: for a long time, and you go get a shortstop, 48 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: even if it's a stop stopgap guy until Lombard's ready. 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 2: But Lombard didn't exactly tear the cover off the ball 50 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: this year, so I wouldn't count on that being next year, 51 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: maybe the year after. These are not small questions. These 52 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 2: are franchise shaping issues that the Yankees are dealing with. 53 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: If he has surgery on his lab room, you're talking 54 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 2: six to nine months maybe. And if he doesn't get 55 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 2: the surgery, is he gonna feel pain in every swing? Now, 56 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: this is not his throwing arm. His throwing arm is fine. 57 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: It's his left shoulder. But as a hitter, as a 58 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: right handed hitter, that's his lead shoulder. And you know, 59 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: imagine you swing and every time you extend that shoulder right, 60 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: it's a painful, painful injury. And there's no doubt it's 61 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: affected his performance. Now that we know this, I don't 62 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: want to make excuses for the kid, but to expect 63 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 2: him to be playing better with a torn labrum. I mean, 64 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: this is a bad injury. Most of the time. It 65 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: requires a procedure. When I had my injury, and that 66 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 2: mine was in my throwing arm, I had taken a 67 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: year off with shoulder pain, and I came back and 68 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: it hurt again, and I couldn't believe it, and so 69 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: I went to the doctor and they put me in 70 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: the MRI tube. And afterwards they said, you know, guys 71 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: will take ten years off from throwing with shoulder pain 72 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: and then they try and throw at their kid and 73 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 2: the shoulder pain comes back because the labrum doesn't heel 74 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: like that. You know, it's not like a pulled muscle. 75 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: It stays painful and you really only feel it when 76 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: you're doing the activity that hurts it. Right, If he 77 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 2: feels this when he swings, and the injury happened in 78 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 2: the field, so maybe it's just an awkward movement that 79 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: he doesn't have to encounter very much. But you would 80 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: think that as much to as a major league hitter 81 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: has to put into his shoulder to swing, he has 82 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 2: to feel it right every swing. If your shoulder's barking. 83 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: Even if you have a cortizone shot or you take 84 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 2: some medicine or whatever, you're still thinking about it on 85 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: every swing, even if it's like in the back of 86 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: your mind subconsciously a little bit. I would feel it 87 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: when I would throw right. The arm would feel fine 88 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: until like ninety five percent of the way through the throw. 89 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: It was the slowing down of the arm that really hurt. 90 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you it affects. It affects everything. 91 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: You know. It affected my sleep. 92 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: I couldn't I couldn't lift a milk jug out. 93 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: Of the fridge. 94 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: So how will the Yankees handle this? Will they get 95 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: him the surgery. Will they just try and rehabit during 96 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 2: the winter and hope he comes back magically feeling better 97 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,559 Speaker 2: in March? 98 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: I don't know. 99 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: Or will they address shortstop in the off season. And 100 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: you know he's on my list of guys. So let's 101 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: take a look at the candidates to not be back 102 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: next year. Volpi and Wells have underperformed, no doubt. They 103 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: are on my list of guys who might not be 104 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: back next year. And we'll release the official prediction for 105 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: five Yankees plus a couple of honorable mentions that won't 106 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 2: be back after the season. 107 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: But this is not good. Not good. 108 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: Folk Lore says, having had a torn labor and had surgery, 109 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 2: it actually is usable, but only gets worse over time. 110 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 2: Beers and Frontiers wants him to have the surgery. Now, 111 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: I agree. I think you got to get it done. 112 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 2: Dom D says time to move on and worth, noting 113 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 2: that Volpe's out of the lineup for the second straight day. 114 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 2: Beers also says, doesn't explain his defense. You know, maybe 115 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: it does, honestly it when you when you have a 116 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: torn labor, anything you'd any kind of movement right could 117 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: trigger it, like you can feel it randomly. I would 118 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: feel it when I would sleep, you know, Like I said, 119 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: when I would go to pull the milk jug out 120 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: of the fridge, that I would feel it there. I 121 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: would feel it when I would throw. So you never know. 122 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: You can't get inside. But maybe it does affect his fielding. 123 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: We don't know. We simply do not know. Lori c 124 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: says now will be stuck with him next season. Two 125 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 2: rough crowd, these Yankees fans.

I mean, without being in 158 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: the guy's body and knowing what he feels, I can 159 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: confidently reject that. 160 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 3: It has not affected his performance. 161 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: This is the same manager who will tell you when 162 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: John Carlo Stanton has a hangnail that he's a race 163 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: car and everything about him affects every other thing. Come on, guys, 164 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: playing through a torn labram and you say it doesn't matter, 165 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 166 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: Ridiculous? 167 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 2: Anyway, Joseph Salvatorre's vope, he's not an major leaguer period.
