1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Well, baseball is back and the Yankees had their spring 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 1: opener today against the Orioles. Top prospect Elmer Rodriguez on 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: the mound and he was sharp, but the Yankees offense. 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: Didn't do much. 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: My recap and your reactions coming up next. Baseball season 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 1: is back and this is pens Dripe Territory. 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 2: Wanted to talk at Toll were the New York Yankees. 8 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: Welcome back everybody, and for those of you who treat 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: today like a holiday as I do, first official baseball 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 1: game of the year, Congratulations you made it through a long, 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: cold winter. But the Yankees dropped their spring opener two 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: to nothing to the Baltimore Orioles offense. Really in mid 13 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: season form for the Yankees. If you look at the 14 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: strikeout totals, they struck out thirteen times and they didn't 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: score any runs and they got three hits. So nice job. 16 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Orioles defeat the Yankees two to nothing. And 17 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: a reminder, I'm here after every game all season long. 18 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna do a few spring training games. We're gonna 19 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: do tomorrow, We're gonna do Sunday. Forgive me if I'm 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: sounding a little bit stuffed up. Because I have a 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: little bit of a cold. I've been fighting for a 22 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: few days. So hopefully they'll get over it soon. You know, 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: I took night quill last night and I'm still feeling loopy. 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: They make that stuff way too strong anyway. Like I said, 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: not a great performance for the Yankees today, but also 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: not a lot of regulars in the lineup that we had. 27 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: No Aaron Judge, no John Carlos Stanton, no Ben Rice. 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: In fact, the only starters who made the trip today 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: were Austin Wells, who hit lead off and went for 30 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: three and Jazz Chisholm, who went one for one with 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: a walk. And Austin Wells. He crushed one that got 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: knocked down by the win. I think in July it's 33 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: probably a home run, but in the sixth inning, I 34 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: mean he crushed it and it just came up short. 35 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: I mean you looking at you know, windy conditions in Florida, right, 36 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: So you'll see a lot of times in these spring 37 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: training games balls that look like pop ups that go 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: out of the ballpark by fifty feet and balls that 39 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: get crushed that get knocked down. That's because they don't 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: have like triple decks at these stadiums, and you got 41 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: a lot of wins across Florida, and so you see 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: a lot of impact of the wind on the baseball 43 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: in spring training. It's normal. Jazz, he said he wants 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: to go fifty to fifty. I don't know about that. 45 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: I would say that would be fun. But I also 46 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: gotta say, Jazz, let's take it easy. Let's settle down. 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: Let's settle down. If there's one thing that I hate, 48 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: it's over promising and under delivering. You know, It's like 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: when you know Domino says they'll get your pizza there 50 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: in thirty minutes, and it takes forty five minutes. Right, 51 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: Remember a couple of years ago, before the postseason began, 52 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: he was talking all that smack, and then he did 53 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: nothing in the postseason base until Game four of the 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: World Series or Game five when he homeward. Look, Jazz, 55 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: just a little friendly advice, Yankee fan to Yankee player. 56 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: Let your bat and glove and arm and hustle do 57 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: the talking. Don't hype it up, don't say fifty to fifty. 58 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: Don't put those expectations on yourself. What are you doing? 59 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: My man? I think he's gonna have a great year. 60 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: I think he could go forty forty, but fifty to fifty. 61 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: Let's be realistic. Come on, I don't want him trying 62 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: to hit fifty home runs. Go back to that seventy 63 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: percent swing that you had last year that worked so well, 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: and the Yankees went over too in the abs today 65 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: that's the ball strike Challenge system. So obviously not a 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: great start there. We're gonna take a look at some 67 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: of the new tunes we got here. So Yankees obviously 68 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: dropped this one down to nothing to the the Orioles. 69 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: You see the stats. Elma Rodriguez had three shutout innings. 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: Jake Bird through the ball well today, you know, Rodriguez 71 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: is somebody we're gonna talk more about in a few minutes. 72 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: For artists formerly known as Elmer Rodriguez Cruz. We said, 73 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: Curvin Castro, I like his name, Curvin. I wonder if 74 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: like his parents got home from the hospital and they 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: were looking at the birth certificate and like, oh man, 76 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: they spelled Kevin wrong, says Curvin, Should we go back 77 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: and change it? And and the dad's like Matt Locke 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: is on in fifteen minutes. Yeah, traffic, traffic is a nightmare. 79 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: Come on, let's just leave it as Curvin. Anyway, we 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: got some good stuff out of Elma Rodriguez Cruz. Three 81 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: scoreless innings, Jake Bird through a scoreless inning. I really 82 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: want Elma Rodriguez Cruz to pitch well. I want him 83 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: to dominate because they got him for Carlos Narvaia and 84 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: Narvaez has turned into a pretty good player with the 85 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: Red Sox, and you don't want to lose a trade 86 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: to the Red Sox. Brian Daies's exhibition games suck. I'm 87 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and agree with you, Brian, but it's 88 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: rare to see the Yankees and Red Sox make a trade, 89 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: and when they do, you want the Yankees to win 90 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: the trade. And I think that Elma Rodriguez could be 91 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: a pretty nice prospect. What struck me today, and we'll 92 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: take a look at him more closely when we do 93 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: the pitcher spotlight in a few minutes is that he 94 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: was throwing strikes and he's got really heavy sinker. Now, 95 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: I have to admit i'd never seen him pitch live before. 96 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: I've seen a ton of highlights, but in highlights, I 97 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: mean you see, you know obviously the outcome, but you 98 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: don't get to see like the pacing of the pitching. 99 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: You don't see get to see the pitch mix as much. 100 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: That's why it's always better to watch live than to 101 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 1: just watch highlights. Right. So, I was impressed. I thought 102 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: he worked quickly. I thought that he seemed confident and 103 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: for the first game of the season, the first game 104 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: of spring training, seemed pretty sharp. You'll see we have 105 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: some new things built into the postgame show. 106 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: Today. 107 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: We see top pitch velocities. Elmer Rodriguez did have the 108 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: hardest thrown pitch of the day, a ninety six point 109 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: eight mile an hour sinker. You see the top performers. 110 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm did have a base knock and a walk. 111 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: So I hope you guys enjoyed the new new layout 112 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: and so forth. Jake Bird he's somebody that I think 113 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: the Yankees want to turn around. He was acquired at 114 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: the deadline last year. I had high hopes for him 115 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: because he throws hard, but he struggled. He ended up 116 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: getting sent back down to the minor leagues. I think 117 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna use him a lot in spring 118 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: training because they're trying to unlock him. They're trying to 119 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, find whatever they saw in the metrics and 120 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: bring it out in the game and turn him into 121 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: a valuable relief pitcher. We'll see if it shakes out. 122 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: But not a lot of offense today in general. Pete 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Alonzo hit a two run home run for the Orioles. 124 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: Yankees obviously did nothing and they drop their spring opener. 125 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: Ray Tapia says, hopefully Elmer Rodriguez keeps throwing like the 126 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: way he did today. Wouldn't mind seeing him earn a 127 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: spot in the rotation while Cole and ro Don still 128 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: work on the return. It could happen. I mean, you 129 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: never know. In spring training. It seems like every year 130 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: somebody goes down with a lats soreness, or somebody hits 131 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: Tommy John and that's the worst case scenario. You don't 132 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: want to see that. Actually, I would say shoulder Labram 133 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: that's worst case scenario because that's not only one year 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: that could be career, right, But it seems like every 135 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: year somebody's got the elbow problem. I you know, I 136 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: would put him near the top of the depth chart 137 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, the number six starter. I 138 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: want to see what Carlos Legrandge can do now. Well, 139 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: legrand Hay will pitch tomorrow and that game will be 140 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: on Yes, and we will cover it here on pinstrip Territory, 141 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: So tune in for that after the game. But what 142 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: I'm interested in from legron Haey is seeing what he 143 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: can do other than throw heat. Right. We know he 144 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: can throw one hundred and two miles an hour. We 145 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: know he can blow the fastball by you. I want 146 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: to see if he's got the good secondary pitching like Rodriguez. 147 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen him pitch live other than in the 148 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Futures game where he was touching triple digits. He was 149 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: mostly thrown hard, but I want to see how he 150 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: uses his off speed stuff. If he shows that he 151 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: can be even a two pitch pitcher, I'm talking one 152 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: to oh three with a nasty slider, I think you've 153 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: got to consider him for the bullpen. I think the 154 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: bullpen is still a little bit thin, and I would 155 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: definitely be interested in having him break camp out of 156 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: the pen and seeing if he can evolve. A lot 157 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: of times with these guys who throw ridiculously hard, they 158 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: break down, okay, And so I want to take advantage 159 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: of that arm while it's still you know, lively. You know, 160 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: you don't want a guy having a bunch of injuries, 161 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: you start to lose the velocity. Let's do what the 162 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: A's did with Mason Miller. Get him in the big leagues, 163 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: turn him into a shutdown relief pitcher. Hey, we got 164 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: to give out the belt today. Now, I know we 165 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: don't typically do a belt for a loss, but my guy, 166 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: Frankie Baseball, has been working hard all winter. So first 167 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: Belt of the year goes to mister Frankie Baseball. And 168 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: Frankie says, not looking forward to having Pete Alonso in 169 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: our division, and he'll be in the division for the 170 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: next five years or so. Just signed with the Orioles 171 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: this winter, and I have a feeling he's gonna run 172 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: into some home runs against the Yankees. As you can see, 173 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: we have the belt leader board and we're gonna go 174 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: ahead and include spring training this year. Why not, We'll 175 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: just go ahead and include it, and we'll include the postseason. 176 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: Last year we debated on the rules of the belt. 177 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: It was like, should we throw out spring training? Should 178 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: we keep spring training? Should we throw out the postseason? 179 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: We just decided, you know what, We're gonna include everything. 180 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Everything from now on to the end of the year. 181 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: Even in the voicemail shows, we might do a belt. 182 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: Who knows, but we're gonna give out the belt. We've 183 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: also got a new award and it's for people who 184 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: show that extra, a little bit of hustle, that extra 185 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of getting that dog in him. I'll 186 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: give you a little preview here, got that dog in him, 187 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: and we're gonna give that to Elmer Rodriguez Cruz, who 188 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: we will talk about right now. In our pitcher spotlight, 189 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: I called him Elmer Rodriguez Cruz. 190 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: That was an error. 191 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: He has dropped the cruise from his last name. When 192 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: the Yankees traded for him, his name was Elmer Rodriguez Cruz. 193 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: It is now Elmer Rodriguez. So he's dropped it, which 194 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 1: will help him if he ever play for a team 195 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: that has the names on the back of the jerseys, 196 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,719 Speaker 1: because he won't have to wrap it all the way 197 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: around the back like I do with Lewandowski. But anyway, 198 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: three scoreless innings. He threw the sinker a lot. He 199 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: threw nineteen sinkers. He threw seven change ups forty two pitches, 200 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: thirty of them for strike. So the command was obviously 201 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: there and again we're gonna break down all the stats 202 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: this year. This is our new pitching widget, starting pitcher Widget. 203 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: I worked on a lot of this stuff over the 204 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: winter to try and give you guys a little bit 205 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: of a more thorough experience in terms of statistics. Five 206 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: whiffs today from Elmer Rodriguez. He also threw a cutter, 207 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: he threw the curveball, and he threw a slider. But 208 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: the sinker is obviously the pitch that he is going with. 209 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: And look, if you can throw ninety six to ninety 210 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: seven with some sink, you're gonna get ground balls. I 211 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: don't care who you are. Those of you who remember 212 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: Chen Ming Wong will remember how deadly he was with 213 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: that sinker at Night six. It was a bowling ball. 214 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: And one thing that that can do for you as 215 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: a pitcher is it can help you get through innings 216 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: a lot quicker. It can help you, you know, be 217 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: more efficient with your pitches. Long used to throw seven 218 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: innings and have like seventy five pitches, seventy five eighty 219 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: pitches because guys would swing at that sinker thinking it 220 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: was a fastball down the middle, and they would hit 221 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: a routine ground ball to shortstop and Jeter would gobble 222 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 1: it up. That was his game plan, and he would 223 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: do that for seven innings, ground ball after ground off 224 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: the ground ball, you know. I remember Brandon Webb was 225 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the same way. Kevin Brown was like that too, but 226 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: he also got a lot of strikeouts because he had 227 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: some nasty other stuff. Something that's happening here. I'm getting 228 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 1: a little beep on my on my computer. Anyway, hope 229 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: hopefully you guys aren't hearing that. But anyway, nice job 230 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: by Elma Rodriguez. Let's goad and take some voicemails. Just 231 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: the reaction got Steve from Maine. 232 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: Yes, hy, Derek, Steve calling from me. I don't know 233 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 2: if you've discussed this recently, the judge statements. I know 234 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: everyone is going one crazy over. It's some saying he's mad, 235 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: some I'm saying he's fatisfying. If you listen to this 236 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: whole statement, it's obviously the classic shit sandwich. He wanted 237 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: to get his message across to management that he wasn't 238 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: happy without discouraging or degrading or upsetting his teammates. Is 239 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: he comfortable with what was done? Yeah? Is he happy? No? 240 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 2: Is he excited. No, he knows darn well that they 241 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 2: could have had several opportunities to significantly improve the roster 242 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 2: and they've passed on them. Another thing, there's definitely a 243 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: contest or some sort of tension between Cashman and Judge 244 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: going all the way back to his contract negotiations. Cashman 245 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: little Brian is always trying to show Aaron who's in charge, 246 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 2: and he doesn't know what he's doing. Okay, good day. 247 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: As always a lot of Brian Cashman fans here calling 248 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: into Pinstripe territory. By the way, I just saw for 249 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: the first time. I literally just saw this for the 250 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 1: first time. I had programmed in on my little led 251 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: display back here for there to be score alerts, and 252 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: I saw Nolan Aronatto just hit a home run, and 253 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: so it just showed it like that's gonna be cool. 254 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: I've been waiting for that to test out, but we 255 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: haven't had baseball game, so you know, there's been no 256 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: way to test it out. But yeah, I feel like 257 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: Cashman does ruin relationships with people. I mean, it took 258 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: a long time for him and Derek Jeter to patch 259 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: up their relationship, and you know, if you ask Jeter now, 260 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: he'll say everything's all good, but I don't know if 261 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: it really is. He obviously had an issue with a Rod, 262 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: but a Rod kind of brought that on himself. You know, 263 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't happy with Roger Clemens after Clemens signed with Houston. 264 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: You know, Cashman, I don't know if it's I don't 265 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: know if he burns Bridges or if the players just 266 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: don't like him, or or what the deal is. But 267 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you don't see a lot of the former players come around. 268 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: You know, Goose Gossage hates the Yankees now, I mean, 269 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: Reggie Jackson doesn't get along with the front office. It's 270 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: an interesting it's an interesting scenario. And then we've got 271 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: another call here. This is an interesting call from Port 272 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: Saint Lucy. 273 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: Little post comments from Bobby from Port Saint Lucy. You 274 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: know what the best team money could buy was the 275 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven Mallins. 276 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: Please appreciate the call. 277 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: Hey by Hey, I. 278 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: Think that's the second time he's called in about the 279 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: Marlins called in a while back. Now, I will say 280 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: this about that team. They were really, really good, but 281 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: they had a fire sale immediately after and that pissed 282 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: a lot of Marlins fans. Off if there were Marlins fans. 283 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they were a relatively young franchise at that point. 284 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: I believe they launched in nineteen ninety three, so that 285 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: was only their fourth year of existence. And then you know, 286 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: they win the World Series, they get Kevin and Gary 287 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: Sheffield and all these guys, and then after they win 288 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: the World Series, they immediately had a fire sale and 289 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: traded everybody, and that was really bad for baseball, honestly so. 290 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: But the Marlins, I mean, they've run into a couple 291 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: of World Series championships. Good for them, all right, Katie 292 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: Herring says, what's up, chat? I feel like the bats 293 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: for the Yankees never really showed up in today's game. 294 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: Offense was cold, offense still in winter slumber mode for sure. 295 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: Eddie Charlie says. Reggie Jackson turns eighty in April. Happy 296 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: birthday to Reggie. Reggie, Reggie. 297 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 2: I love Reggie. 298 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: I wish I could have gotten to see Reggie play. 299 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: You see on my little background here, I've got a 300 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: McFarland of Reggie. It's my favorite one. I think it's 301 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: the most realistic. I've also got Maddingly here. I got 302 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: Ricky Henderson, we got Aaron Judge. We got the Babe. 303 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: I got them all over the place, but I think 304 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: Reggie is my favorite. And we got a new look 305 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: to the set this year. If you're just tuning in, 306 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: and you tuned out all winter, so we got a 307 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: new look at the set. I got rid of that big, 308 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: clunky metal thing that I had here, and I basically 309 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 1: put up some fresh brick wallpaper and I put up 310 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: some new artwork. We got Cam Schlitzler the newspaper from 311 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: after his amazing performance. My favorite newspaper headline of all time, 312 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: holy schlit, because I said the same thing it was 313 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: on my countdown last year was holy schlitt We got 314 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: the Martian and Aaron Judge hugging after Dominga's his walk 315 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 1: off home run. We got the Sports Illustrated cover from 316 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: after the Yankees won the ninety six World Series. And 317 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: we got Aaron Judge and I got to say that 318 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 1: ninety six World Series. I think about this a lot. 319 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 1: I think that might be my favorite of the dynasty. 320 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: I love the ninety eight team. It was obviously a juggernaut, 321 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: but this is thirty year anniversary of that ninety six team. 322 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: Now in ninety five, the Yankees made that late charge 323 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs and get in for Don Mattingly. 324 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,199 Speaker 1: They obviously jumped up to nothing in the Alds to 325 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: the Mariners and then lost three straight and it was devastating. 326 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: And then when when the winner came around, you lose 327 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: Buck Show Walter, you lose the leadership of Don Mattingly, 328 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: you lose Mike Stanley. I quite frankly didn't feel great 329 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: about the ninety six team. You know who is Marianno Duncan, right, 330 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean I didn't feel strongly about them, but they 331 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: came together and Joe Girardi was the perfect guy for that. 332 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: I did an episode on that team, yeah, maybe a 333 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: month or two ago with John of Purlinger. Go check 334 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: that out if you have a minute. But anyway, tough 335 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: day for the Yanks. Unfortunately they drop it. They drop 336 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: a tough one, two to nothing. But it's just spring training. 337 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: The good thing is it does not count. Thanks to 338 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: everybody who tuned in. Reminder, we're gonna be here after 339 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: Saturday's game, and after Sunday's game, hopefully I'll be a 340 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: little bit more lively. I'm feeling like garbage right now, 341 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: Like this is day three of feeling sick. I started 342 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: to feel it on Wednesday night. I had that little 343 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: scratch in my throat and I was like, oh God, 344 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: here it comes. And then I woke up on Thursday 345 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: and I was like oh. And then I slept basically 346 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: all night Thursday or Wednesday, went to work on Thursday, 347 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: slept the entire evening, and woke up this morning it 348 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: felt a little bit better, was able to take the 349 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: dog for a walk, and decided, you know, I'm gonna 350 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: take a half day. So I took a half day 351 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: so I could watch the game and do a little 352 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: show here. And I'm feeling decent. I'm feeling a little 353 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: bit better. I'm still stuffed up, but hopefully on the mend, 354 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll feel better over the weekend and we'll 355 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: get a couple of post game shows. Also, we're gonna 356 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: do some watch parties. This is a World Baseball Classic. 357 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: One thing I was kicking myself about a few years 358 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: ago is not doing watch parties for the World Baseball Classic. 359 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: This year, We've got the fun new score widget which 360 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 1: will work for those games, so it won't be a 361 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: lot of work. I can just put it up on 362 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: the screen. Me and Frankie, you're gonna do one. We'll 363 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 1: probably have Terrence for one. I might try and get 364 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: some other people. We'll just have some fun. And I'm 365 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: gonna try and build something where we have a little 366 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: spinning wheel that and allows us to pick different topics 367 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: to talk about during the game and have some fun. 368 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 1: So thanks to everybody who tuned in.
