1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Wanted to pull. 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 2: It's all. 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back everybody. Monday, March thirty, first, the 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 3: final day of March. We got April baseball beginning this week. 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,599 Speaker 3: Uh oh, hang on just a second, we got audio 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 3: in the background there. Sorry, gotta take care of that. 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 3: It's early in the season for me too. First series 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 3: of the season in the books and three and zero. 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: As Joe Girardi would say, it's what you want. I 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 3: mentioned a few times before that I watched the games 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 3: differently now that I'm doing the podcast than if I 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 3: would when I was a fan. You know, when something 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: happens in the game, I have to take down the 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: game notes. You know, somebody hits a home run, I 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: gotta go seek out the exit velocity and you know 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 3: things like that. I have to get some stats and 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: do all the visuals that go along with it. So 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: usually I have to watch the games, you know, in 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: front of my computer or on the couch with a 20 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 3: couple of computers, you know, laptop iPad in front of me. 21 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: I have this device called the Apple Vision Pro, which 22 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: is amazing for watching sports and movies. But I was 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: upset because last year I didn't really get to do it. 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: Because you can't really take notes in it, right, you 25 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: can't really, I mean you can, it's just very difficult 26 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: and it slows you down, and I can't go back 27 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: and forth to the computer. But what I've started doing, 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: and if you have the AVP, this is great. I 29 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 3: go to watch the Yankees avenue highlights from Dan Rourke 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: and they're usually like ten to fifteen minutes long, which 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 3: is like the perfect watch session in one of those 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: things because they're kind of heavy and I basically re 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 3: experienced the game in the morning. So that's actually I've 34 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: been watching that to get ready for these voicemail shows 35 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 3: in the morning, just to keep the game kind of 36 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 3: fresh in my mind. And I got to say, it 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: was really enjoyable watching all of the highlights from the 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: entire weekend, all of the home runs that the Yankees 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 3: hit this morning, and they have been absolutely matching the 40 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: baseball fifteen home runs. Oh, we got an extra thing 41 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: on the screen. Okay, we're still working out the kinks here, folks. 42 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 3: Let me take care of that real quick opening comments 43 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: close it bam, all right, So thirty six runs they 44 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: dropped on the Brewers this weekend. There's been a lot 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 3: of talk about torpedo bats, but I see that other 46 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: players around the league are starting to use them already. 47 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: We had Francisco Lindor using one. We had a great 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: call from one of the callers yesterday that said, you know, 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: it's time for the hitters to innovate. Right. The pitchers 50 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 3: have been innovating for years, but baseball's like a pendulum. 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: It goes back and forth between offense and pitching. At 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: one point, they had to lower the mound to allow 53 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 3: for more offense, and then we had, you know, the 54 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: steroid era, and you know, if you had a four era, 55 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: you were pretty solid, and then you had basically sticky 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: substance era where there was like a no hitter every week. 57 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 3: Right in the last couple of years, velocity is way up, 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: and now the next thing is going to be more 59 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 3: innovation in the bats, and as long as it's legal, 60 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 3: you're going to see it. The Yankees may have been first, 61 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 3: but they're not going to be the only team that 62 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: does this. Right. If it's successful, you're going to see 63 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 3: more people doing it. The fact that it was invented 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: by a Yankees employee doesn't mean the rest of the 65 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: league can't use it or won't use it, but it 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: does mean that they got to it first, and so 67 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: far the results have been great. Jazz Chisholm has been 68 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: smoking the baseball. He looks really comfortable. We got some 69 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 3: calls about him Judge not using it, and Judge still 70 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: absolutely insane. Seventy four watches on. Seventy four is a 71 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: legit possibility. You know, back in twenty twenty two, breaking 72 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 3: Maris's home run record was fun, but it didn't get 73 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: the coverage that's something like McGuire got or Bond's got 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 3: when they broke the record, because the record was, you know, 75 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: seventy three home runs from Bonds was seen as almost unattainable, 76 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: and he still came twelve short of breaking the record 77 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. But he's off to such a 78 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: fast start, and it seems like he gets better and 79 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 3: better every year and gets more efficient at hitting the 80 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: ball in the air, and with his high exit velocity, 81 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: that's gonna lead to so many home runs if he 82 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: stays healthy. Seventy four is legitimately on the table. And 83 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 3: I don't know about you guys, but that would be 84 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: one of the highlights of my life to see a 85 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: Yankee break the home run record. I feel like I 86 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: could die a happy man if I see Judge hit 87 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: seventy four, especially if the Yankees can win a World 88 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 3: Series too. But if you say seventy four right now, 89 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: you're not crazy. We had a number of people comment 90 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: about it, call about it. What he's doing over the 91 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: last several years was already insane, but this year he 92 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: looks like he is legitimately on a revenge tour, on 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: a mission. He came out of the gate on fire 94 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: after doing nothing all spring. That just goes to show 95 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: you you can't worry about what happens in spring training. 96 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: As long as everybody's healthy. It's you know, the veterans. 97 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 3: Once the season starts, it's a different ballgame. Judge. Look, 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: you have to put him in the conversation of the 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: greatest hitters ever. He does things that only the greatest 100 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 3: hitters have done. But the one thing on his resume 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: that I you know, that does not in terms of 102 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,039 Speaker 3: hitting home runs, that he does not have, is the 103 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: MLB record. He doesn't have a four home run game. 104 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: He almost had one. He's got now three three home 105 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: run games. Wouldn't shock me if he hits a four 106 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 3: home run game. It's point and the fact that you know, 107 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 3: they kept pitching to him after he had three was 108 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 3: insanity because he was clearly locked in. And then yesterday 109 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: he goes deep and then they just they said, you 110 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 3: know what, We're done with this guy. 111 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: What dotten. 112 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: And they stopped pitching to him. But seventy four you 113 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: could see it, You really could see it. Let's talk 114 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: a little bit about the big three for the d Backs. 115 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: They got some good pitching. 116 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 4: Man. 117 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 3: I know that the Yankees put up some runs against 118 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: the Brewers, but the d Backs are a better pitching 119 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: team than the Brewers. Let's take a look at some 120 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: of the numbers here, powered by Inside Edge, call it 121 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: the data dive. Corbyn Burns he locates his fastball inside 122 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: seventy five percent of the time, at least last year 123 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: he did. He has not thrown a pitch yet this year. 124 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: His debut will be against the Yankees. That is the 125 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 3: highest amongks starting pitchers in the major leagues, and that 126 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 3: could backfire against some of these Yankees. Right now, we'll 127 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: talk a little bit about Ben Rice. He is smoking 128 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: the baseball and he's made some adjustments to get to 129 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: that inside pitch. Obviously, judge hitting anything you throw up 130 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: there right now, if it's in the strike zone and 131 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: jazz Chisholm, you don't want to come inside on Jazz 132 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: Chishm right now. Merrill Kelly opponents have a hard hit 133 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: rate of fifty two percent against Merrill Kelly on fastballs 134 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: over the last couple of years. That is the third 135 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: highest amongst starting pitchers with at least one hundred and 136 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: thirty innings pitched. So look for the Yankees to be 137 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: hunting fastballs. They're going to be trying to jump his fastball, 138 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 3: especially if it's early in the count, and you could 139 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: see some more home runs. If if there's going to 140 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: be a day full of home runs again in the 141 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: Diamondback Series, it's going to be against Merrill Kelly. And 142 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: then Zach Gallon. I wouldn't count on too many home 143 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: runs against him. He locates the fastball down in the 144 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: zone forty six point three percent of the time last year, 145 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: highest amongst starting pitchers in Major League Baseball, and the 146 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: league average is twenty four percent, So he's well above 147 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: league average in terms of, uh, you know, locating that 148 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: ball down in the zone. Luis Tejada says, your mouth 149 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: to God's ears. I'm assuming you mean the no Stra 150 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: Derek prediction and then Louis Penafield. But another super chat, 151 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: says Yankee sweep this series. I noticed some small ball 152 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: and fundamental base running. Keep it up. Absolutely. The base 153 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 3: running has been terrific, big contributors in Bellinger. I mean, 154 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: I think the Martian has run the base as well. 155 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 3: Even Goldschmid when he's been on his run, he looks 156 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 3: like an actual baseball player. All right, let's move on 157 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: real quick to the no Stra Derik prediction, and so 158 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 3: far this season, no Stra Derek hitting one thousand, one 159 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 3: for one. The first prediction was that Paul Goldschmid would 160 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: hit a home run off of Nestor Cortes. He did. 161 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: I wouldn't count on be it right every time, but 162 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: we got it today or whatever the day was, Saturday, Friday, Saturday. Yeah, 163 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: So my prediction for tomorrow is ben Rice will hit 164 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: a home run. Ben Rice will go deep. As I 165 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 3: mentioned Corbyn Burns throwing inside a lot, working the pitch 166 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: off the inside part of the plate. Ben Rice used 167 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: to have a hole there, but he's getting to that 168 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: pitch now. He has adjusted where his hands are and 169 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: he's much more compact, and he's getting to that pitch. 170 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 3: If you look at the home run that he hit 171 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 3: yesterday as I watched on my magic hat this morning, 172 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 3: that pitch was inside off the plate and he put 173 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 3: it in the second deck. Last year, he swings over 174 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: that pitch one hundred percent, and I I think that 175 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: it's going to take a trip through the league of 176 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: you know, him hammering those pitches before the league realizes 177 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: we got to figure something else out. And Corbyn Burns 178 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 3: is such a good pitcher, he's not gonna adjust his 179 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: scouting report for Ben Rice. He's gonna say, well, Ben 180 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: Rice hasn't seen my fastball in or my cutter in, 181 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 3: and he's gonna go after him, and Ben Rice is 182 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 3: gonna tag him. That's my nostra Derek prediction. Ben Rice 183 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: going deep tomorrow.

First call is about our rotation. 205 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 3: It's kind of long, so I'll cut it off. 206 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: About it with Derek often. So you know, these first 207 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: three games have been really awesome, really fun to watch, 208 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: you know, but you know, I just want to comment 209 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: on the pitching. So watching Marcus shown man like, he 210 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: didn't pitch badly. It wasn't a terrible start. You know, 211 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have you know, better ones. But 212 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, historically he's always spent that second half of 213 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: the year. I don't know whether they're gonna arrest him 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: or whether they then use spots starts, you know, use 215 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: cookie carrasco uh, you know what combination the guys are 216 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: gonna use. You know, Schmidt's already hurts. You know, you 217 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna gather the rest of rotation. 218 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: You gotta gotta be honest with ourselves. I mean, Cole, 219 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: he might be done. I mean he might be he 220 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: might be finished the Yankee, and we're not really thinking 221 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: about you know, next year or the year after or whatever. 222 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: But you know, because we lost him for the entire year. 223 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 1: But like we gotta, you know, give you to the 224 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: fact that he might not be he might not ever 225 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: be the coal that we you know, know, the ace 226 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: that we uh that we had ever again. 227 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: All Right, I'm gonna go ahead and stop you right there. 228 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: So one, I think he's gonna come back fine, but 229 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 3: he will be a little bit older. So I think 230 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 3: it's natural to see some aggression towards the mean. But 231 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: you know he'll come back, and you know he had 232 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: the internal brace procedure, which means he probably won't have 233 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: a second surgery. He should be able to get through 234 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: the next three years without having a second surgery. I'd 235 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: count on him being a solid pitcher when he comes back. 236 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 3: I don't I don't think, like you're right, he's ever 237 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 3: gonna be that guy who went fifteen and one down 238 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 3: the stretch one year with Houston. But he can be 239 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,599 Speaker 3: a leader on the staff, And you know, I like that. 240 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: We're basically getting a two for one deal where he's 241 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: also a pitching coach. We had another call here that 242 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 3: I think is related. 243 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Garret, the Yankees may have lost Garrett Cole, but 244 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: the Rangers won the World Series without Jacob deGrom. 245 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're one hundred percent right. It can be done. 246 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 3: And the Braves won it without Ronald Lacuna Junior. All right, 247 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: So go through some comments here. Thomas Crowley says him 248 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 3: breaking the home run record would be nice, but the 249 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: highlight of your life a little hyperbolic, isn't it. Well, 250 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: first of all, no, because this is also my profession. 251 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 3: It's not only my hobby. My vacation is also my vocation, right, 252 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: so it would be an enormous boon to my business. 253 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: It would be a fun year for me as a 254 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: fan and a great year for me professionally, like in 255 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: terms of enjoying what I'm doing. So no, I think 256 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: him at breaking the home run record, not in a moment. 257 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure the moment would be climactic and fun, 258 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: but yeah, it would be a highlight of my life. 259 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 3: And fuck you because you know how you know, I'm 260 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 3: allowed to judge, I'm allowed to take agency over how 261 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: I feel about the things in my life. So don't 262 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 3: be an asshole, Okay. Richard Lee says Judge can hit 263 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 3: sixty five home runs easy this year. I don't think 264 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: he would say that it's easy. I think he would 265 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: tell you that it's very, very difficult to hit any 266 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 3: home runs. Off topic, says I always wondered how tall 267 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: are you?

I think it's gonna 313 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 3: happen on the home series though the d Backs are 314 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 3: throwing some righties up there and he's a lefty. It's 315 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: just gonna take getting one in the air. I think 316 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 3: He's had some really patient bats from the right side, 317 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: but he's not much of a power hitter from the 318 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: right side. I think it's gonna come from the left 319 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 3: side the first one, so hopefully the next few games. 320 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 3: But you've got his work cut out for him. Maybe 321 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 3: he'll get a reliever. 322 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 5: Hey, Derek Spread, long time super chatter, first time color 323 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 5: As I'm sitting here watching the Yankees bludging the Brewers again, 324 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 5: I guess we're gonna have to talk about those quote 325 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 5: unquote illegal bats that the Yankees are now using. For 326 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 5: everyone hating the approve of Major League Baseball, keep crying 327 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 5: about it and keep that same energy when your team 328 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 5: starts using them. 329 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: For those none in my t. 330 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: GD yep, yep, it's you're seeing more teams roll it out, 331 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: So I don't want to hear anybody crying about the bats. 332 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: They're legal.

I think Jazz gets 336 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 5: the belt. I know you're going to get Jazz the belt, okay, 337 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 5: and he also. 338 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 3: I think you called in before the end of yesterday's show, 339 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 3: so you are correct. Jazz did get the belt, and 340 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 3: Jazz swinging the bat really really well. He apparently loves 341 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 3: the torpedo bat. He said that it doesn't change his 342 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: exit velocity. It just feels like he connects a little 343 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: bit more solidly. Now, what Michael k said makes a 344 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 3: lot of sense that maybe some of those hits that 345 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 3: were just kind of fouled off, maybe they become a flare. 346 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: Some of the ones that were a flair, maybe they 347 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 3: become a line drive. Some of the ones that were 348 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 3: a line drive, maybe they become a home run. But 349 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 3: he's swinging the bat really really well. All right, thanks 350 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 3: for all your calls. We'll be back tomorrow night after 351 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 3: the game for the postgame show. I'm gonna be doing 352 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 3: more work on the show. We had some We've had 353 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 3: a couple of glitches so far. We had the glitch today, 354 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 3: we had the Stroman instead or we had Rodin's name 355 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: instead of Stroman yesterday.
