1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,240 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 2: Tuesday, June third, and it was game fifty nine of 3 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty two, and the Yankees were back 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: in the Bronx to take on their American League Championship 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 2: Series opponent from last year, the Cleveland Guardians. Carlos wrote 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 2: Don on the mound, looking to continue his hot start 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,480 Speaker 2: to the season. My recap, your reactions coming up next. 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: This is Pinstripe Territory. 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 3: Just wanted to talk. That's all. 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: All right, We'll take it. Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Well, 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 2: we lost Luke Weaver and a lot of people were 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 2: asking who the Yankees would go to in a safe situation, 13 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: would Devin Williams be the guy? And we got the 14 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: answer tonight. Devin Williams got the call. He gave up 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: an earned run, he made it close, he allowed the 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: tying run to get a scoring position, but ultimately he 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 2: got it done. Return of Jazz Chisholm tonight. Return of 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: Fernando Cruz back on the roster. I was also surprised 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: to see that they sent down Jorbet Vivas instead of 20 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 2: Pablo Reyes. But I think that Vivas has, you know, 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: potentially be a starter in the Major League so they 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: want to continue to give him regular at bats and 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: you know, see if they can get him back into 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: a rhythm just in case you need him again to 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: come up and fill in for somebody. But you know, 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: we had a home run from Volpi tonight. We had 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: another base knock from DJ Lemayhew and this was a 28 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: very quick game courtesy of Carlos Rodin, who was dealing 29 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: again seven phenomenal innings, one run, eight strikeouts. He lowers 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: his ERA to two point four to nine on the season, 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: and the Yankees win three to two. Man, I'll tell 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: you what it feels good to be watching games at 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: a normal time again. Does anybody else feel like that 34 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: road trip lasted forever? I mean, I'm telling you, two 35 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: West Coast trips in a span of about three weeks 36 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: absolutely kicked the piss out of me. I mean, my 37 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: circadian rhythm is completely messed up. I didn't know what 38 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: day it was towards the end of that streak. But 39 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: back into a normal schedule, hopefully. Richard c says DJ 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 2: and Jazz should switch positions. They just did. They just 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: did switch tonight, first game for Jazz back at third 42 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 2: base this year. Both teams were very quiet early. Rodn 43 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 2: actually pitched into a jam in the first inning, and 44 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: you know that Guardians fans are frustrated because you had 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: a chance right out of the gate to get to Rodin, 46 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: but he got a couple of big strikeouts to get 47 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: out it. And then Tanner Biby, you could tell he 48 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: was sharp right out of the gate, struck out the 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: side in the first inning. Yankees didn't get their first 50 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: base runner until the bottom of the fourth inning when 51 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge drew the walk. First hit was actually off 52 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: the bat of Jazz Chisholm. It was a soft bloop single, 53 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 2: trying to pull the ball but inside out of it, 54 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: but it broke up the no No and then jac 55 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 2: Escara walked and dj Lemayhew picked up his fifth hit 56 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: in two games to drive in Jazz, who was flying 57 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: around the bases. And look, that's what we want Jazz 58 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: to do. I want him. I know he hit the 59 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 2: home run tonight. Also we'll talk about that in a second, 60 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 2: but we want him to be able to score, to 61 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 2: wreak havoc on the bases, and that's what he did. 62 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: He got on first base, he distracted the pitcher from Escara. 63 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: Escar drew the walk and then DJ took advantage. And 64 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: DJ not hitting the ball very hard, but you know, 65 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: at least he's putting the ball in the air. Last 66 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: year he was hitting ground ball after ground ball after 67 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: ground ball was so frustrating. And if he can dunk 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: those little soft bass hits in now and again, I mean, 69 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 2: he's hitting what two forty five with a six forty 70 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: two oh ps and he's not crushed in the baseball, 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: but he's at least picking up some hits. And if 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: you get hits with guys on base, you're gonna get 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: some RBIs. So Guardians did tie up in the seventh 74 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: base hit by Ramirez, and then there was a ground 75 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: ball that I felt like DJ LeMay who should have had, 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: but it ate him up and tried to make a 77 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 2: sliding stop when I really didn't think he needed to run, 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: ended up scoring. Rodan got through the seventh inning and 79 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: stranded a runner on third base. I thought that was 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: a big, big out to get out of that inning. 81 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: He finished with seven innings of one run baseball. I'll 82 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 2: talk more about him in the pitcher Spotlight, obviously, but first, 83 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 2: the Torpedo Boys, Jazz Chisholm back after it. You're like, Jazz, 84 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: I'll run number eight, second hit of the game, and 85 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: that put the Yankees back out in front. Crowd went nuts. 86 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 2: Jazz took about a half hour to get down to 87 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 2: first base. That's a lot. That's a lot of swag 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: for a first row home run. I mean, he was 89 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: he was acting like when Rubin Sierra hit win in 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: the bleachers in the Alcs at the or Alds at 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: the Old Stadium, and he was, you know, dancing and 92 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: you know, doing his like, you know, like his routine, 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: a salsa routine on the way to to first base, 94 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 2: tipping the cap and and and Jazz was doing the 95 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: same thing. And it was a first row shot. I mean, 96 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: if you're gonna do that, I mean, I appreciate the 97 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: home run as much as anybody. You know, maybe make 98 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: sure it gets at least ten rows deep or into 99 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 2: the second deck. Anyway, we'll take it. And then Anthony 100 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 2: Volpi followed up with a dinger, second home run in 101 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: a row. We call that back to back and a 102 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 2: belly to belly. Volpi swung the bat well tonight. He 103 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: also smoked one to right field that got caught, and 104 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 2: then obviously the dinger uh seven great innings from Rodin 105 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: Devin Williams made it interesting, but in the end he 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: did get it done. In the Yankees take Game one 107 00:05:49,560 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: of the series, Brian Bashman says to all of those 108 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: who were hoping before the season started that dj would 109 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: be your starting second baseman. Congratulations, you're welcome. Richard Cecis 110 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: Cleveland looks bad. Tiger's record is inflated. I don't know 111 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 2: about that. I mean, the Tigers look pretty good when 112 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: we saw him, and Tarik Skubele is the real deal. 113 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: Jack Flaherty we know can pitch, and Labor Torres having 114 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: a pretty good year out there. Tommy Cainley, last I saw, 115 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: was having a good year. I haven't checked on him lately, 116 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: but tonight it was difficult. I could have gone a 117 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 2: couple of ways with the belt, and I thought to myself, 118 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: what would Harvey two face from the Batman series do 119 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 2: would how would he decide this? And he would let 120 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 2: fate decide. So I actually took a quarter and full disclosure, 121 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: I assigned heads to Carlos Rodon and tails to Jazz Chisholm. 122 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: And now we make the reveal Jazz Chism second belt 123 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: of the year. We let fate decide. Don't blame me. 124 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,679 Speaker 2: A lot of people saying Rodin for the belt, blame 125 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: the universe. I am taking myself out of the equation 126 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: on this one. Some people say we should have gone 127 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: a co belt. We probably could have, but ultimately I 128 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: thought it would be more fun to do the Harvey 129 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: two face bit. I've been wanting to do it. Now 130 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: is the perfect time. My camera is tracking me and 131 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: I want to turn that off, so give me a second. 132 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean second second belt of the year 133 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: for jazz, and look a couple of hits. Look good. 134 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 2: We're gonna spotlight him more during the arena club segment 135 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: in just a minute. But first let's talk about mister 136 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: Carlos Rodin, because he deserves an honorable mention at the 137 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 2: very least, and he deserves a pitcher spotlight. We got 138 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 2: people saying that was highway robbery. I'm saying, don't blame me, 139 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 2: don't come after me. I am just the messenger from 140 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: the universe, from fate. It was fate that decided this one. 141 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: So no signs of Carlos Rodin slowing down. So I'm 142 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: sure he'll win a few more belts. This year, But 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: tonight was more of what we've seen, you know, since 144 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: he finally put it together earlier this year. He was effective, 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: he was efficient, he was confident, you know, expertly mixing 146 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: his pitches in all sorts of accounts, getting tons of 147 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 2: swings and misses, thirteen whifs, not as many as he 148 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: had last time out, and he had twenty one, but 149 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: the velocity was good. Ninety seven point one. That was 150 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: up a tick curveball, had guys out in front, and 151 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 2: he was throwing it early in the count, like we've 152 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 2: been telling him to do, getting guys off balance, and 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: then he could ride that fastball up or throw it 154 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: on the outside corner where he was dotting it when 155 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 2: he wanted to. And then once you got a couple 156 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: of strikes on guys, just dropped that hard slider down 157 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: and in and it had all sorts of bite. Tonight 158 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: ninety three pitches, sixty four strikes, so another very good ratio. 159 00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: I thought he was going to get deeper in the 160 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: game when he entered the seventh inning he had seventy pitches, 161 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: but the seventh inning kind of got a little tough 162 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 2: on him, you know. I thought he was fantastic, retired 163 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 2: seventeen hitters in a row at one point, and he 164 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 2: doesn't get the Coo Belt, but he gets an honorable mention. 165 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: Nice performance, terrific, terrific job. I do want to talk 166 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: a little bit more about Jazz this sponsorship or this 167 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 2: segment sponsored by Arena Club. So we got his card 168 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 2: up there. He's back, and you could feel Yankee Stadium 169 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: kind of perk up a little bit when he came 170 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: up for that first roll call, or came up for 171 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: his first of bat, and during the roll call, you know, 172 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: he went deep. He had a soft single to left field. 173 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: He made a great play at third base. He got 174 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: some help from Paul Goldschmid on that play, but a 175 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: very strong arm, which is one of the reasons they 176 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 2: want him over there. I think it's interesting that they 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: did switch him back to third base because, you know, DJ, 178 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: I'm not even sure that he has the mobility anymore 179 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 2: to play set. He has not looked particularly good there. Yeah, 180 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he made a couple of decent plays, but 181 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 2: tonight was an example, I mean, not the DJ that 182 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: we're used to at second base. You know, maybe they 183 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: think he's healthy, his feet are healthy. I don't know, 184 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 2: I want to see it, but you know, tough, tough 185 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: game at second for DJ today. Jazz. I like him 186 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 2: in the field, no matter where you put him. I 187 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 2: had kind of a bizarre take on Jazz though, for 188 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: a night where he hit a home run that ended 189 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: up being a big part of the win. Remember, he 190 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 2: came out of the gate this year on fire. He 191 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: was hitting all sorts of home runs. But the more 192 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: home runs he hit, it seemed like the longer his 193 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: swing would get right. It seemed like he was trying 194 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,839 Speaker 2: to lift and separate and hit home runs like every swing. 195 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 2: And I don't want to make the assumption that that's 196 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 2: what the guy was doing, but that's what it looked 197 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 2: like to me. And I think he feels like he's 198 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: got to be a thirty five forty home run guy 199 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: to help this team win, or to help any team win, 200 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: or to get paid and people the entertainment. You know, 201 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 2: when he hits one in the second deck and he 202 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: does the jump shot or whatever, or if he hits 203 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 2: one in the first row like he did tonight and 204 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 2: takes a half an hour to get to first, people 205 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: love that, right, I mean some people some people hate it, 206 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 2: but the young folks. They love it, and look, I 207 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: get he's an entertainment figure, but let's be honest. The 208 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: jazz that's the best is the jazz who's getting on 209 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: base and disrupting pitchers and stealing bags and scoring runs. 210 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: We don't need him to be a home run or 211 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: nothing guy. He's not built to be Aaron Judge. He 212 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: doesn't have to be exit v low barrel rate, launch angle, 213 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,960 Speaker 2: all that sexy stat cast stuff. I get it, it's fun. 214 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: I want the guy who causes pitchers to lose focus 215 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 2: with Aaron Judge at the play, or with Paul Goldschmid 216 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: at the player, with Ben Rice at the plate. His 217 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 2: real value was what we saw in Miami. Explosive on 218 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: the base, is dangerous at the plate because he's got pop, 219 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: but really just a guy who is trying to make 220 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: contact more so than find the short porch. First month season, 221 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: he looked like a guy who believed he could hit 222 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 2: forty dingers. And you know who could blame him? The 223 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: White Way guys are getting paid right now. You know 224 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: he saw the Sodo contract. He wants to be a 225 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 2: guy who gets hundreds of millions of dollars. But I'm 226 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 2: confident that the moment he leans into being the player 227 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: that he actually should be, a two seventy two eighty 228 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: hitter with twenty five homers, thirty five steals and one 229 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty runs, that's the moment he really gets 230 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: paid and really really gets accepted by the entire fan base. 231 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: Just like Carlos Rodin leaned into being a more complete 232 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 2: pitcher and now the fan base loves him. Jazz can 233 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: do the same thing just by cutting down on that 234 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: swing a little bit. But good job tonight with the 235 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: home run quick word from Arena Club. Then we got 236 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: some talk on Lombard Junior, and we got a bunch 237 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: of super chats and comments coming in back in sixty seconds. 238 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: If you're a card collector or you'd like to get 239 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: into card collecting, may I suggest Arena Club and slab packs, 240 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: which means that you can rip the pack digitally and 241 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: of course get the card that you want. It's also 242 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: the most trusted name in the game, and I would 243 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: rather rep packs these days on my phone than sit 244 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: next to you and have you grabbing one of my 245 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: physical packs if I was grabbing one. 246 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need me grabbing your packs because last 247 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 3: time you grabbed one, it ended up like this card, 248 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: So let's not have that. And that's why Arena Club 249 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: is great. They send them to you in these fancy 250 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: protectors like the Scout Brown card that we have here, 251 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 3: and they'll come safe. They're already graded. Or you could 252 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: do like I do and just leave my cards in 253 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: the showroom and never actually see them physically. Yeah, but 254 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 3: they're safe, protected, and if I want to sell them, I. 255 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Can't buy sell trade. They offer full transparency, showing every 256 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: card in the slab pack with the likelihood of pulling 257 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: each one, so you know exactly what's available before you buy. 258 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: Get twenty percent off your first slab pack or card 259 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: purchase by going to Arena club dot com, slash foul 260 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: and use code foul. 261 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 2: All right, So, happy belated birthday to our number one prospect, 262 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 2: mister George Lombard Junior. Just turned twenty years old. He 263 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 2: has been struggling a little bit since he got moved 264 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: up to double A. I wouldn't worry about it too much. 265 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: Almost every player has kind of a learning adjustment when 266 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: they go from A to double A. It's a very 267 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: very tough jump, and then even bigger jump from the 268 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: from the minor leagues to the majors, whether it's a 269 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: triple A to the majors or even longer double ay 270 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: of the majors, which some people do. I wouldn't expect 271 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: him to get called up this year, given how he struggled. 272 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: You know, there was a chance on the outside if 273 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: he just absolutely raked that you could see him on 274 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 2: the express road to the major leagues. But now with 275 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: you know Jazz playing third base, and Volpie continues to 276 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: play well at shortstop, and you know you got DJ 277 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: back and he's doing okay, I think you can ford 278 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 2: to be even more patient with Lombard and hope that 279 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: by next year he's ready three twenty nine with one 280 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: home run and a four to ninety five on base 281 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: percentage at a plus nine eighty three OPS at that level. 282 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: And then since coming to Double A, he's hitting one 283 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: eighty five, no home runs yet three forty six on 284 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: base percentage, which is still promising. It still shows a 285 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: command of the strike zone and a five to sixty 286 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: eight OPS at Double A, So that's where he's at. 287 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll get it going and we'll be able to 288 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 2: watch him on the rise. I expect him to compete 289 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: for an infield spot next spring. I really do. All right, 290 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: get some comments here, here's a call about Volpi. 291 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, Derek. I'm been watching the game and 292 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 4: here at my job, I don't have my phone, so 293 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 4: I usually just thrown into like old the Yankee Facebook clips, 294 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 4: And honestly, I'm really liking this version of what we're 295 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: seeing a Vulpee this year. Like his OBP is a 296 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 4: lot better, which is pretty much what I care about. 297 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: Giving his base running value can be so good, and 298 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: him being at the bottom of the order because I 299 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: ran into the clip of that game too, ninth inning 300 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 4: in the World Series last year, and Anthony Volpi took 301 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 4: probably the most incompetent at bat that I've ever seen. 302 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: All Right, well, it goes on for a bit. We 303 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: got to give Volpi some credit. Hitting us to a 304 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 2: seven sixty ops this year. The average isn't great two 305 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: forty one, but it's not bad. It's about what league 306 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: average is right now. I think the major league average 307 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: was something like two thirty nine. It's not great. He 308 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: is playing solid short again, and he had a little 309 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: a couple of bumps there in the road, but home 310 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: run to night. Big home run ended up being the 311 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: game winner from Anthony Volpe. Ashland says, are we trusting 312 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: Williams in the closer position with Weaver out? I don't 313 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: know if we are. You Maybe I'm not. I'm not 314 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: as who he says, went from cardiac Clay to diastolic Devin. 315 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: I don't even know what diastolic means, but it doesn't 316 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: sound fun anyway. All right, So let's see what we 317 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: got here, btr says widow maker Williams. I like it. 318 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: I like it, all right. So that's where we're at. 319 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: Yankees take this one. Let's go through the standings real quick, 320 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: as we look at Major League Baseball Yankees at thirty 321 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 2: seven and twenty two. They are six games up right 322 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: now on the Blue Jays, and it kind of goes 323 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 2: back and forth between the blue Jays and the Rays, 324 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 2: but at this point, it really does look like the 325 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: Yankees are going to pretty much cruise in the American 326 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: League East. You know, I think that as long as 327 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: they avoid any major injuries, they shouldn't have that slump 328 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: they had the last couple of years. Midsummer. I feel 329 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 2: like the team is just more well rounded. I feel 330 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: like the pitching is solid enough, we're gonna probably blow 331 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: some games in the ninth inning with Devin Williams. I 332 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: like widow Maker Williams. That seems like the fan favorite 333 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 2: in the chat. Tigers at forty and twenty one. They're 334 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 2: nineteen games over five hundred, and they continue to play 335 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 2: really really well. Guardians now thirty two and twenty seven, 336 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 2: and then the Mariners and Astros now tied in the 337 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: American League West. As the Astros continue to surge the 338 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: last few years, the Mariners have gotten off to decent 339 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 2: starts and then kind of faded, and the Astros typically 340 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: get off to a slow start and then pick it up. 341 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 2: Rangers hanging in there. They're under five hundred, but at 342 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: four games back, I don't think they're gonna be sellers. 343 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: We've seen some people talk about perhaps Jacob de Grom 344 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 2: getting traded to the deadline. I don't see it. I 345 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: think they're gonna hang in there, and I think there's 346 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: gonna be kind of a slow deadline this year because 347 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: so many teams are in it, right, I mean, all 348 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 2: of these al Central teams are in it. They're all 349 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: in the playoff hunt. They all probably need one piece. 350 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: We've seen the Royals be aggressive in the past. You know, 351 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 2: the in the AL East, the Blue Jays, Rays, and 352 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 2: probably the Red Sox are gonna be buyers along with 353 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: the Yankees, right and there's just so many players to 354 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: go around. You go over the NL East, Mets back 355 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: out in front of the Phillies. They've been playing better. 356 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: I haven't checked on our guy Soto lately. How's he doing? 357 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: Phillies game and a half back? Nationals ten games backs. 358 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: That's really a two team race at this point. But 359 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: the Braves could surge. I got off to a slow start. Cubs, 360 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 2: they are four and a half up in the Central 361 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 2: over the Cardinals. A lot of people saying Ryan Helsley 362 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 2: in the chat. I don't see the Cardinals trading Helsley. 363 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 2: I can't. I can't see them packing up their gear 364 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 2: and giving up on the season. Four games back with 365 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: a with a record over five hundred, and then the 366 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 2: Dodgers just one game up on the Padres, a couple 367 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 2: of games up or three games up on the Giants. 368 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: My dream scenario is that the Dodgers miss the playoffs. 369 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: That's my dream scenario, right, I mean, you could give 370 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 2: me anything else. In the world, you know. I mean, 371 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 2: the Yankees World series is number one. Dodgers missing the 372 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: playoffs is number two. Yeah, I don't want anything. I 373 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: don't even want them. In the conversation, they have our number. 374 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 2: But anyway, it says sounds like Soto had two home 375 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: runs today. Is that true? Anyway? Nino says, do the 376 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: Yankees make a trade for Walker Bulwer if he's on 377 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: the trade dead trade block. If he's on the block, 378 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe we'll see. We got another super chat 379 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 2: here from btr more like widow Maker Williams, and then 380 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: Richard C. Says, more like diarrhea, Devin yikes. All right, 381 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, good night for the Yankees.
