Welcome back, 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: and welcome back to first place for the New York Yankees. 12 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 3: Pretty solid and stress free win for the Yankees tonight, 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 3: and to top things off, the Oriols loss to the Mets. 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 3: So for the moment, the Yankees back in sole possession 15 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 3: to first place. Joining me tonight to talk about it 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 3: is johna Perlinger of Babes Babe podcast. She covers the 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: Yankees for on New Jersey. How you doing, Johnna? 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 2: I am great. Hey We're in first place, so I 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: couldn't be better. 20 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm psyched. Last night was tough. We were 21 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: talking about it in the quote unquote green room before 22 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 3: the show. Just how unfulfilling last night's game was because 23 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: it was so long. It was four hours long. It 24 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 3: was the longest game in Major League Baseball this year. 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 3: And then it was this tight game. Yankees get blown 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: out late, and I don't know about you, but I 27 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 3: had difficulty shaking that one off. 28 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, and like coming off of such a 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 2: defeating loss with the Little League game, it was just 30 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,919 Speaker 2: like like it was just a double whammy. Yeah. 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, But we had a nice night tonight. Amazing performance 32 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: by Nester Cortez. We'll talk more about that home run 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: and a three run double from Juan Soto, who continues 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: to raise his free agent price higher every single night. 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: What do you think? Do you have any thoughts early 36 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 3: thoughts on the final number for Juan Soda? 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't. This is such a tough question. 38 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: Like I've heard some controversial takes on like the Yankees 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: could never give him more than what they gave Judge, Like, 40 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 2: but I feel like the numbers there, you know, So 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: it's like people have to like put their egos aside 42 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: and it just is gonna be what it is. 43 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: But I was talking to Ken Rosenthal about that when 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: he was on this winter I was like, you know, 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: if you know you got Sodo, would they give him 46 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: more than Judge? And his answer was basically yes, because 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: Soto is younger, he's at a different point in his 48 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: free agency, so you're still getting like three or four 49 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 3: years of his best prime years, whereas Judge, they kind 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: of figured that he was nearing the end of his 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: prime already. Luckily he's had a couple of more years 52 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: of it, but just those extra, you know, twenty seven, 53 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: twenty eight, twenty nine year old seasons are huge value 54 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: to the Yankees. Judge went deep again tonight twice. He's 55 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 3: got forty seven on pay for sixty. Austin Wells continues 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: to swing the bat. He had some good swings tonight. 57 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: We had a double from Volpi, a couple of hits 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 3: from Glaber Torres, and five ribbies, including a home run 59 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: from Juan Soto. So pretty good night for the Yankees. 60 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: Let'll talk about Nestor Cortes because this is the second 61 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 3: start in a row that he's pitched. Well, he's coming 62 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 3: out of this funk. Looks like fingers crossed right, knock 63 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: on wood. But this was a good team that he 64 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 3: completely dominated tonight. Any thoughts on Nestor Cortes. 65 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I actually went back and looked to see 66 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 2: how many games he pitched over or where he's pitched 67 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: seven or more innings. He's had eight games this year, 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: two of those being his last two starts, which were 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: almost identical except for those strikeouts. So I do feel 70 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: like in August he's like in the last couple of games, 71 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: he's really dialed in. 72 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's looking great. Seven shutout innings, three hits aloud 73 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: dropped his already a four point zero zero on the season. 74 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 3: Twenty six games, one hundred and forty eight inings, one 75 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty seven strikeouts, just twenty nine walks. So 76 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 3: the command has been elite this year. He's got the 77 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: whip down to one point one six and he picks 78 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: up win number seven, So he's now seven and ten 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 3: on the season. Not the best record, but you know, 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 3: he's a crafty guy and he posts, which is super important. 81 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: I mean, how many times last year did we have 82 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 3: guys missing starts, including Yester. I think it's huge that 83 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 3: he's just at least making the starts every day. And 84 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: tonight he gave our bullpen like a big rest, yeah. 85 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: For sure, which, like we all know, we really needed after, 86 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: especially after last night. But like I went back too 87 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 2: and looked, and he had a rough July. You know, 88 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: he was averaging I think four point eight four innings 89 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 2: pitch per game in five games. Like he wasn't lasting 90 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: Larry very long for us, like kind of burning up 91 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 2: the bullpen. So yeah, like his longevity is better in 92 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: August and looking. 93 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: Good, looking good. One guy who's not looking so good 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: right now, Luis he I'll headed to the IL. He 95 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: came out of last night's game in case you missed it, 96 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: with back stiffness. Today the Yankees placed him on the 97 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: IL with a very minor lower backstrain. No timetable for 98 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: his return. I'd imagine it's just going to be, you know, 99 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 3: a few starts. They're gonna kind of shut him down. 100 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: But John, I feel like this could be a blessing 101 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 3: in disguise. Give him some rest because he's never thrown 102 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: this main innings before. 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: No, he hasn't, And I think this is something like 104 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: we all kind of feared like they're gonna have to 105 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: really keep their tabs on him, and I think, like, 106 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but in the beginning of 107 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 2: the season, I was kind of saying that by now 108 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 2: they'd probably be like shutting him down anyway. Yeah, So yeah, 109 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think it's a blessing disguise and 110 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: kind of get Schmidt and Cody Petit like back in 111 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: and see what they can do, and then we'll see 112 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: where we're at for postseason. 113 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, speaking of the postseason, I've been thinking about, you know, 114 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 3: whether or not he would be a nice fit for 115 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: the bullpen when he comes back. So I wanted to 116 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: kind of throw up my hypothetical postseason roster and just 117 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: kind of get your thoughts on it and see if 118 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: this makes sense to you. So I've got Dominguez coming 119 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: back and prying the job away from Alex Verdugo in September, 120 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: So he's my leadoff guy for the Yankees in the postseason. 121 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 3: Let me just move this down a little bit. I 122 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 3: don't know. The white space is killing me, and I 123 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: know the Yankees will never do this, but I would 124 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: start Perraza over Glabor Torres at second base purely for 125 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 3: defensive reasons, because ales are so precious and he's had 126 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 3: so many defensive issues this year. I think he'll hit 127 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 3: a little bit. I can't see him hitting much worse. 128 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: Than Glaber Torres, and I got Oswaldo Cabrera as my 129 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: first baseman. I know he hasn't played much over there, 130 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 3: but Yanks haven't gotten much production. I'm not counting on 131 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 3: Rizzo doing much when he comes back. Rice now is 132 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 3: down to one eighty two. Oswaldo, if you can play 133 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: third base, you can probably pick it at first base. Right, So, 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: any thoughts on my proposed lineup there, I. 135 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 2: Mean, I like this. I The only thing I would question, 136 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: what about putting Glaber in and then like through seven 137 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 2: innings or even through six innings, and then bringing Prasa 138 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: in because I feel like the defensive errors for Glabor 139 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: like tend to happen at the end of the game, 140 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 2: but like we could still use his bat. 141 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's actually not a bad idea. Yeah, so I'm 142 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: not opposed to that. That's what I could. I could 143 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: I could be convinced of that the most important outs 144 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: are the ones at the end of the game. Right. 145 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: You could argue that all twenty seven outs are important, 146 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: but those high leverage where it's like one run difference. 147 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: I want a short handed second basement, So I could 148 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: live with that. So it's just for the people who 149 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 3: are listening and don't have the benefits of what's on screen. 150 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: I've got Domingas and center so too, and right judge 151 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: and left Wells at catcher batting fourth. They'll probably switch 152 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: that up if they face a lefty Stanton at DH, 153 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: Chisholm at third base, he'll be back by then Volpi 154 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: at short, Cabrera at first, and per Raza at second. 155 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 3: That way, it's basically it's switch lefty, righty, lefty, righty, lefty, righty, 156 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: switch righty. So it's a nice balance. You can't bring 157 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: in a left you to face like three guys on 158 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 3: the bench. I've got Verdugo like off the roster, so 159 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: Grisham is my backup outfielder. I was talking about that 160 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 3: with Aiden last night, and then I got Torres on 161 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: the bench, like you said, I could. I could be 162 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: talked into you know, him playing the first seven innings Rice, 163 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 3: because he gives you that third catcher, and because he's 164 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: a left handed bat off the bench, like might run 165 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: into one in the playoffs if you need, like let's 166 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: say you've got to pinch hit for you know, stanting 167 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: against a tough side arm righty or something like that. 168 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: You know, I could see Rice coming up and running 169 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 3: into one, and then Travino as the backup catcher. And 170 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 3: then my my playoff pitching staff is Cole, Rodn, Schmidt 171 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: and Stroman in the rotation. I've got Cortes going to 172 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 3: the bullpen, and I've got Heal going to the bullpen. 173 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: Cortes because he gives you length so he can throw 174 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: three or four innings. He can be funky. A lot 175 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: of guys have trouble with lefties. He neutralizes lefties at 176 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium, and he'll because of the swing and miss stuff. 177 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: The control concerns me a little bit, but hopefully the 178 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: back heeling up will be better there. And then just 179 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: lighter Cousins, Hamilton, Kinley, Tonkin, Holmes, and Weaver, and I 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: leave off Tim Hill, which is kind of difficult because 181 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 3: he's a good lefty too. Any thoughts on my pitching 182 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 3: line up there? 183 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: Hey, I think you're missing Cody Potit here. 184 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: You think he makes the postseason roster? 185 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: I love that guy. I think he's so much and 186 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 2: I really feel like he could be like a good 187 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: multi innings reliever in place of I don't know, maybe 188 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: like Cousins or something, because it's righty variety. 189 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: Cousin's been pitching pretty good. I mean maybe maybe Tonkin. 190 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: I don't know this. This is one of those ones 191 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: that I'm glad that I don't have to make the 192 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 3: decision because you know, Cody Potit did throw the ball 193 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 3: really well if he's healthy, and Nick Birdie another guy who, 194 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: if healthy, could be huge. You know, but the odds 195 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: that everybody's gonna be healthy are not great. Like I 196 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 3: feel like with six weeks off to baseball, somebody's gonna 197 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: have a strained something, right. 198 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: Very true? Yeah, hey, question, what are your thoughts on 199 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: heel if he comes back strong and healthy at the 200 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: closing role. 201 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: So I'd much rather have him high leverage middle relief 202 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: just because he's never closed and because as a closer 203 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: you don't want to walk people, and he's he's such 204 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 3: a young kid that's had some control issues, Like you 205 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 3: could see if he walks a couple of guys, that's 206 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: spiraling out of control. So while I like the stuff 207 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 3: and the swing and miss stuff is huge, I think 208 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: he would be lights out in like the seventh inning, 209 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: Like I don't know if you remember O nine with 210 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 3: Phil Hughes uh when Yeah, he would come in in 211 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 3: the middle innings and he wasn't necessarily a closer. They 212 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: had you know, uh, you know, Rivera and they had 213 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: Robertson setting up, but Hughes could come in in the 214 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: seventh and he was. He was incredibly nasty. 215 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: So I like that. I think that's a good answer 216 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: because he has a little bit of a headcase. 217 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, so well, all right, let's go to a quick 218 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 3: word from our sponsor tonight, which is Viewory, and a 219 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: quick word from Alanaizzo.

So all right, let's 247 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 3: talk about the game tonight. Yankees wasted absolutely no time 248 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 3: getting on the board. Juan Soto in the first inning 249 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: with home run number thirty six, the one who knocks 250 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 3: your career high for Sodo dead center field four hundred 251 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: and twenty seventeen, eighth home run in his last nine games. 252 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: Johnna This Juan Soto guy is pretty solid. Have you 253 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: given any thoughts to the big what if he goes 254 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: to the Mets? Could you see that happening? 255 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: Oh No, that's not a what if for me, Like 256 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: I have not given that an ounce of my time 257 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: or thought this year because I'm just like you're a 258 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: little brother. He's not going to queens. Like, no, it's 259 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: just not a thing, Like I don't know. You see 260 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: him and he's like so in his element here and 261 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: even when like we've you know, had our obvious slumps, 262 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: like he just looks so happy here. To me, he's 263 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: his best. Do you know who David Rifkin is. 264 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: I've heard his name. Yeah, he's he's one of those 265 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: Is he one of those Yankees writers or whatever? 266 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: No, So like he's he sits in like the club 267 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: level seating like every game, like he's at most of 268 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: the games. And he tweeted out tonight he was like, 269 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: Juan Soto is his best version as a Yankee. And 270 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: that's absolutely true. Like he just had a record high 271 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 2: home run season, just. 272 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: Tonight his best self. The only thing I have to 273 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: say is give the man the bag. 274 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: Pay that's man his money. 275 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: Three perfect innings to open up the game for Nest 276 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 3: de core Actually know he gave up a single, So 277 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 3: three innings facing the minimum for Wan Soto and then 278 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: bottom three the captain Aaron Judge getting in on the act. 279 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 3: That's another home run for. 280 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: Judge, all right, the Judge. 281 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 3: Two run shot. Home run number forty six on the season. 282 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: RBIs one hundred and fifteen one hundred and sixty, and 283 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: he had two home runs tonight, both the right field. 284 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: Actually didn't get the highlight for the second one. I 285 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: had some issues with my technology. But he's on pace 286 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: for sixty home runs. Care to make a prediction? How 287 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: many is he gonna end up with? 288 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I should go bigger than this, but my 289 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: I think sixty four. 290 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: That's wow, Wow, that's I mean, that's gonna be tough man. 291 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: So fifty seven, See, he'd have to get what seventeen 292 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 3: over the next five weeks? Wow, wow, that would be crazy. 293 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: I know he had I think fourteen or fifteen in 294 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: September of twenty seventeen. Here's why I think he's gonna 295 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 3: end up with short of sixty, because they're gonna be 296 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: playing the Orioles in that last week. They got a 297 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 3: big series against the Orioles, and I don't think they're 298 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 3: gonna pitch to him at all because they're not gonna 299 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 3: let Aaron Judge beat them with the division on the line, right, 300 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: So I think he's gonna be getting the bonds treatment. 301 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 3: I think fifty eight to fifty nine home runs, which 302 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: by the way, is still pretty solid, you know, considering 303 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 3: John Carlow won the MVP with fifty nine, and people 304 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 3: are still talking about that this is gonna be Judge's 305 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: third fifty home run season. It's gonna be the second 306 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 3: time that he's approached sixty or been in the neighborhood 307 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 3: of sixty. And remember when people were saying in April 308 00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: that he was done. Pepperridge Farm remembers Bottom four. You 309 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: don't often hear this phrase out of my mouth. Great 310 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: hustle by Glabor Torres to beat out an infield single 311 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: to set things up for Juan Soto with the basses loaded. 312 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: He had one of those typical hardcore Wan Soto at 313 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: bats where it was a battle back and forth ended 314 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 3: up check swinging and hitting a bass is clearing double 315 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: down the left field line. And you know, David Cone 316 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: always says when there's a check swing, he says, you know, 317 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 3: if he made contact, he would have had a double, 318 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: but you never really see that happen. Well, there it 319 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: was tonight. I've always wanted to see that. There was 320 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 3: the check swing double. 321 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, beautiful. 322 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 3: I love that Nestor was done after seven brilliant innings. 323 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 3: We talked about him, but serious consideration for the belt 324 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: tonight just a very clutch performance, saving the bullpen a 325 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: little bit bottom. Seven, Judge went deep again, home run 326 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 3: number forty seven on the season, and the Yankees hang 327 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 3: on to win a nail bier eight one. All right, 328 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 3: back at birthplace. All right. So something that we do 329 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: on this channel. I'm sure you watch every night, but 330 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: we give away the player of the game. It's the 331 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: belt for the player who most impacted the Yankees victory. 332 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 3: And sometimes it's just somebody with a key play or whatever. 333 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: And as is customary, I always let the guest announced 334 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: the belt winner. So who we got tonight, Oh gosh. 335 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: This could have gone to three different guys, but we 336 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 2: went with mon Soto. 337 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 3: One. So too, who leads the team in belts. That's 338 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: number fifteen on the season. I mean, I don't know 339 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: how you don't resign this guy. JOHNA. I don't know 340 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 3: how you do it, and you. 341 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 2: Want to get it done, you should. They should be 342 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 2: freaking getting it done tonight, Like what are you doing 343 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: with your time? 344 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 3: Here's the issue is that, like if you do resign him, 345 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 3: the payrolls, Like, given the guys they already have under contract, 346 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: the payroll's gonna be at like two hundred and seventy million. 347 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 3: You really can't add anything else. And there's gonna be 348 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 3: guys who you know, fall off. You're gonna have to 349 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 3: eat some contracts at some point. I imagine at some 350 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 3: point they're gonna have to dfa DJ Lemayhew. They're gonna 351 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 3: be paying for him, just like they're paying for Donaldson, 352 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 3: just like they're paying for Aaron Hicks, guys who are 353 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 3: not playing. And so it's a lot of money to 354 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 3: tie up. I mean, one thing that could make this 355 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: happen is deferrals, because you could give him enough to 356 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: where he has the highest average annual value salary in 357 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: the major leagues, but still give him a lot more 358 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: by you know, give him giving him some deferrals further 359 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 3: on that maybe don't impact your payroll. So maybe you 360 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 3: give him a twenty year contract, right or you pay 361 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 3: the contract out over twenty years. It's really like a 362 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 3: ten year contract or twelve year contract, but you tack 363 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 3: on eight years of deferrals at ten million dollars per year, 364 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 3: and that ups the total value of the contract. I 365 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: think he wants to beat the highest average annual value 366 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 3: for anyone not named Sho Heyo Tani. You know. Yeah, 367 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: Boris loves to do that. 368 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 2: Well, and I mean speaking of Atani, and maybe that 369 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 2: was a huge blessing in disguise for us, because like 370 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: we can learn from that and look at that contract 371 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 2: and be like, hey, that's how we're gonna treat Sodo. 372 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, Boris, he's just one of those guys that, 373 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 3: you know, he didn't have a great offseason this year. 374 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 3: A lot of guys ended up holding out. You know, 375 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 3: Blake Snell missed, you know, first month of the season. Basically, 376 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 3: Jordan Montgomery was trashed for the first couple of months 377 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 3: because of missing you know, the first missing spring training 378 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 3: or whatever. So he like fired. Yeah, yeah, he likes 379 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 3: to take his guys until like February to get the 380 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: best deal. But I don't know that there's gonna be 381 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: enough teams bidding on him, Like, how many teams are 382 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 3: gonna be able to like not commit to a six 383 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 3: hundred million dollar contract or whatever, you know until February A, right, right, 384 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 3: you got to get your team settled. So I think 385 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: this could happen fairly quickly. I think you could see 386 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: right around the Winter meetings time, you know, either the 387 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 3: Yankees or the Mets. I could see Cohen offering him 388 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 3: the most money. But like you said, he seems at 389 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 3: home as a Yankee, like he finally seems like he's 390 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: found his place. 391 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I also don't think as a player, like 392 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: your stage gets any bigger or better than this, I 393 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: really yeah. 394 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: And look, the Yankees are in it every year. I 395 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: mean there last year was the first time that they 396 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: flirted with an under five hundred record in thirty some 397 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 3: odd years, right, and they've still got that streak going, 398 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 3: which I know is very important to them. It's something 399 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 3: that they're very proud of. And these days, you could 400 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 3: win eighty five games and get into the playoffs. We 401 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 3: saw it last year with the Diamondbacks. They won eighty 402 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 3: four games and made it to the World Series. And 403 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 3: the Yankees are always going to be competitive just because 404 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 3: of the market they play in the money they have, 405 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 3: you know, free agents, they want to come to New York. 406 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: They got the best of everything there. And look, I 407 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: just don't see any way that the Yankees don't offer 408 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 3: this guy five six hundred million dollars. The question is 409 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 3: will the Mets offer him more? And will will Jan 410 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 3: Soto just take the highest dollar amount. That's that's the 411 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: final remaining question. Any any final thoughts on tonight's good 412 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 3: old fashioned passionate ass whipping that we handed out here. 413 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 2: Oh my god, that the Guardians really handed us a gift. 414 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 2: They're bringing up that minor leaguer that was like the 415 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: best gift for us. We need it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, 416 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 2: but that was good. 417 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 3: I remember many times when teams have called up a 418 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 3: left handed minor leaguer who has shut us down. You know, 419 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 3: it's just one of those things that goes with Yeah, I. 420 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 2: Was like, this guy look like a scion. Like that's 421 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: kind of you know, that's how we go into these 422 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: games anymore. But Soto, you know, just taking the reins again, 423 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: just like he has in the the last few games. 424 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 3: So all right, let's wrap up here a few comments. 425 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 3: So we've got retro Tony says fifteen years, six hundred 426 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: and twenty five million dollars. That would be wild. Let 427 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 3: me do the math on that. So six twenty five 428 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 3: divided by fifteen I'm not good at math. In my head, 429 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 3: that's forty one point six per year. I don't think 430 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: that's enough to get it done. I really don't. I 431 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 3: think it's gonna be more like. I think it's to 432 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 3: be closer to fifty. I think he wants to craft, 433 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 3: you know, crack that fifty number. Let's say fifty times twelve. 434 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 3: What's that? That's six hundred twelve years, six hundred. I 435 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: could see that happening. We'll see John appreciate it.
