1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: I wanted to pull a cats All. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 2: How's it going everybody, Welcome back, Welcome back. Just realized 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm going up live against the actual Yankees. Yes, Network 4 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: Hot Stove Show did not realize that. But hello to 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: all the people who don't have cable. I am super 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: excited to see you guys. It has been a long 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: and slow hot stove. I don't even know if you 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: can call it a hot stove. It's just a stove. 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: It's just a cold stove right now. But as the 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: winter inches on and we get closer and closer to Christmas, 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,279 Speaker 2: there are more and more rumors coming around. So you know, 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 2: today was all about Michael King. Everywhere I look, Michael King, this, 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 2: Michael King that, and I want to talk about that. Tonight. 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about that. I want to show 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: you guys some updates that we've made to the show. 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: As you can see, we've got a new ticker at 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: the bottom of the screen showing new stats, new you know, 18 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: roster moves and so forth. We're gonna have standings, We're 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: gonna have league leaders, game scores, hopefully during the season. 20 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 2: I haven't had a chance to test that yet, but 21 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: just trying to continue to find ways to make the 22 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: show more fun, more entertainding, especially since it looks like 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: the Yankees aren't gonna give us much to watch this year, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 2: but we'll see anyway. We're also gonna hopefully have dynamic 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: stats for every player available. That'll be fun. I'm trying 26 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 2: to build out things so that I don't have to 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: update everything manually, right. It takes a little bit of 28 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: pressure off of me. Should eliminate some mistakes we can have, 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: like the score and the stats for the game, all 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: that stuff. I've been learning the code a little bit, 31 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 2: so I'm building code to update this automatically. So tonight 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about rumors. We are going to talk 33 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: about Tatsuya Emi. The deadline for him to sign is approaching. 34 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: We're about two weeks away from that, little over two weeks. 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: Usually those players from Japan agree a little bit ahead 36 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: of the deadline because you still have to do like 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: the physical and stuff like that, so it'll leak out 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: who he has chosen ahead of January second. It's not 39 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: one of those things where it'll it'll come down to, 40 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: you know, January second at four fifty nine pm and 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: you'll find out we're probably gonna find out sometime after Christmas, 42 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 2: I'd say the maybe even sometime before Christmas, right, I mean, 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: I'm sure he's gonna want to celebrate a nice hollow. 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if they celebrate Christmas in Japan, probably not, 45 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: but I'm sure he's going to want to enjoy his 46 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: winter break with a nice, big contract. So we're gonna 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: talk about Michael King, who is creating kind of a 48 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: stir on social media today. The Orioles apparently being aggressive. 49 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: They picked up Pete Alonso and now they are trying 50 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: to sign Michael King. But if you believe Ken Rosenthal 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: and I typically do, it is that it is coming 52 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: down to the Yankees and the Red Sox, and the 53 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: Orioles will have to basically outbid both the Yankees and 54 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: the Red Sox for Michael King. Now I really like 55 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 2: Michael King. The Yankees already know exactly who he is. 56 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: They lived with him, They trusted him, you know. They 57 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: they didn't hope he would figure it out. They watched 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: him figure it out. He successfully became a stud with 59 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 2: the Yankees, and so it sucked to trade him. It 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: sucked to move him. 61 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: You know. 62 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 2: As part of that Sodo deal. But you know, you 63 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: gotta make these kind of moves occasionally where it hurts 64 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: both sides. But I've always thought Michael King was at 65 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: his best when he was the bridge, when he was 66 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: the fifth, sixth, sometimes seventh inning guy. You know, when 67 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: maybe the starter ran out of gas, the game was close, 68 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: it was a tie game, something like that, King came 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: in and he stabilized things. I always thought that was 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 2: at when he was at his best. And for those 71 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: of you who remember nineteen ninety six, know that Mariano 72 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: Rivera doing that in ninety six was the absolute best. 73 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: He would come in like the fifth, sixth inning, seventh 74 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: inning and pitch six up, six down right. He was 75 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 2: usually six to seventh, sometimes seventh, eighth, And as it 76 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: got more towards the end of the season, he became 77 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: more of the setup guy. It was really like seventh 78 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: eight towards the end of the season. But in the beginning, 79 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: it was really like he would come in and be this, 80 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 2: you know, the stable guy in the middle of the game. 81 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: And I've always felt like those. Alfredo A. Savius was 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: another one of those guys that you know, he got 83 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: a lot of vulture wins because he would come in 84 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: and it would be, uh, it would be you know, 85 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: tied or whatever, and he would, you know, keep the 86 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: game under control until the offense was able to you know, 87 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: turn things around. But I feel like, uh, he doesn't 88 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 2: want to do that anymore. He wants to be a starter. 89 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: He was effective as a starter with San Diego. There's 90 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: no doubt about his ability to start. He went thirteen 91 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: to nine with a two point nine to five er 92 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: in his first season with San Diego, and then five 93 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: and three with a three point four to four er 94 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: and just fifteen starts this year. He had some injury issues. 95 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 2: He was dealing with a nerve issue on his shoulder. 96 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 2: Shoulders worry me. He also had knee inflammation. So he's 97 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: anything but a short thing at this point health wise. 98 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: The underlying metrics with him are still good. Off speed 99 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 2: stuff is elite. He limits barrels. You know, guys still 100 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: won't hit him that hard. He's a four pitch pitcher, 101 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 2: sinkred about ninety three four seamer at you know about 102 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: ninety four, and he also has a change up and 103 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: a sweeper throws them both roughly twenty percent of the time. 104 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 2: So I feel like he's he's a complete package as 105 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: a pitcher, so he's not gonna want to go back 106 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: to the bullpen. But I do have a friend who 107 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: and Drank's going to take that out of contact. 108 00:05:59,640 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: I do. 109 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: I have a friend. My buddy is a Padres fan. Okay, 110 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 2: and shout out to Brent. I asked him about Michael 111 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: King this year and the injury issues, and this was 112 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 2: his exact quote. He said, his injury was really weird. 113 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: They were cagey about it all year. About five starts in. 114 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 2: He missed a start because he quote slept wrong on it. 115 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: Then he missed another start, and then another. They still 116 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 2: said it was because it was not over how he 117 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: slept on it, and we had no idea if he 118 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: was going to be good in a week or out 119 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: all year. Then it became prolonged through the summer and 120 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: they said it was a nerve in his right shoulder. 121 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: Then he came back towards the end of the season, 122 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: presumably because his shoulder felt better, and immediately tweaked his knee. 123 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: When he did come back, his vlow is down a tick. 124 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: The club did not seem comfortable handing him the ball 125 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: in the playoffs when he was quote unquote healthy. So 126 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: I think that says a lot about how healthy he 127 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 2: is or was. I would fully steer clear of him. 128 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: His injury was not fully explained. Also, I feel like 129 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 2: the way he throws across his body. I'll la Jake Arieta. 130 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: He fits the short peak rapid decline profile. So, first 131 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: of all, shout out to Brett. That's a great analysis. 132 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: Brett does smoke an almost inhuman amount of marijuana, though, 133 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: so take everything you hear from Brett with a grain 134 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: of salt. Tatsuya Emi, that's the guy that I'm looking 135 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: forward to. That's the guy I want. There were some 136 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: reports out of Japan last week that the Yankees are 137 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: one of the favorites and that they're pursuing him pretty hard. 138 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: He sounds like a fit to me. He's twenty seven 139 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: years old, he's in his physical prime. I don't think 140 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: he's a lottery ticket. I think he's already made top 141 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: three in the rotation type of ARM one point nine 142 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: to two era in twenty twenty five, sub three era 143 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: in four straight seasons, a whip under zero point nine zero. 144 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: That's not one hot year. That's the guy who's just 145 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: doing work and one hundred and sixty three innings, one 146 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight strikeouts. That's a twenty eight percent 147 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: strikeout rate. I mean, he was fantastic. The biggest improvement 148 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 2: for him over the last couple of years has been 149 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: his command. He was down a two and a half 150 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: walks per nine last year, and as a pitcher becomes 151 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: able to throw strikes more consistently if they maintain that 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: high level stuff. I always say, when a guy's got 153 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,679 Speaker 2: a great arm, it's a race against time to harness 154 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: it before the arm starts to go right, before you 155 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: start to have you know, health problems. And it seems 156 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: like he found it, and you know, the swinging miss 157 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: stuff is real. You know, he had a wifth rate 158 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: of thirty two percent, fastball sits at ninety five, ninety 159 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: six touches ninety nine. He kind of is like Yamamoto 160 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 2: in that he's got an unconventional release point I heard 161 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 2: someone described as kind of like a lower flatter relief. 162 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: The release it's kind of like a tough angle to 163 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: hit from, and hitters don't see it as well, they 164 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: don't time it as well. And as someone points out 165 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: in the chat, William says, he throws a wrong way slider, 166 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: which is rare. You know that that used to be 167 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: called a backup slider, okay, and it used to be 168 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: something that you do unintentionally as a pitcher. Now it 169 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: also I've heard it described as a screwball, right. I mean, typically, 170 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: if you throw that type of pitch and it breaks 171 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: arm side, you would call that a screwball, right, But 172 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: he calls it a backup slider. High chase rate, high 173 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 2: whiff rate. And what's weird is that he does that 174 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: slider move intentionally, like he can do it every single time. 175 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: It's weird. I've never seen anybody who throws that pitch. 176 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 2: But targeting this guy is gonna be interesting. I want 177 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: to see what price he ends up getting. You remember 178 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: Masiratanaka got seven years, one hundred and fifty five million 179 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: without ever throwing a pitch. Yamamoto got twelve years, three 180 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five million without ever throwing a pitch. 181 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: And now you got Code I Sanga five year, seventy 182 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: five million, show to Imanaga four years fifty three million. 183 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: These Japanese pitchers are getting paid, and he seems like 184 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: he's above Sanga and you know, probably above Imanaga too. 185 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: I was surprised Imanaga didn't get as much as he got. 186 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: I mean, there was some questions about whether his stuff 187 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: would play. Then he got off to an unbelievable start. 188 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: But you know, the contracts for these Japanese pitchers are 189 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: all over the map. For am I, given that he's 190 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: a little bit older than Yamamoto and Tanaka when they 191 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: came over, I'd say he still gets like seven years. 192 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: But I don't think he's gonna get like two hundred 193 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: three hundred million. I think he'll get one seventy five 194 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: something like that. And if I had to make the 195 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 2: choice between am I or Michael King, even knowing the 196 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: success that Michael King has had with the Yankees, IMI's younger, 197 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: and I like that he's unconventional. And I like an 198 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: unconventional picture because it can give the hitters a little 199 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: bit something that they're not used to. Right, it's hard 200 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: to replicate that, you know, Yamamoto does that, he's right 201 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: on top of He doesn't really throw much of a 202 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: wind up at yet. He just kind of throws like 203 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: a javelin, Rightbeo Nomo was unconventional and he disrupted the league. 204 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: I like guys who are a little bit unconventional. So 205 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: that's why m I is somebody that I'm really looking 206 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: forward to, and I hope the Yankees pick him up. 207 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Jason Dominguez, the future of 208 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: the Martian. I want to start by saying this unequivocally, 209 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: I am still a Jason Dominguez fan. I still really 210 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: like this guy. I mean, this is a guy who 211 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: he had that three home run game, he had the 212 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 2: walk off home run. I watched that once a week 213 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: like it's comfort food. Okay, as we get a look 214 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: at some of our new dynamic stats two fifty seven average, 215 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: seven to nineteen ops, ten home runs, I thought he 216 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: would hit for more power, especially when he first came 217 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: up in the major leagues. He had like four home 218 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: runs in his first week, right, and then it just 219 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 2: hasn't been there since the surgery. Twenty three stolen bases, 220 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 2: runs the base as well, three thirty one on base percentage, 221 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 2: forty one walks, one hundred and fifteen strikeouts. But Dominguez 222 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: is one of these guys that I've always had high 223 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: hopes for ever since I saw him, you know. And 224 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: and here's the thing that Colin Cowhert says that sticks 225 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: with me. Flashes matter more than slumps for young stars. 226 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 2: Anybody can survive in this league for a couple of weeks, 227 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: but it's it's the guys who create those moments in 228 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 2: your brain that tend to stick around. And Dimingez is 229 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 2: one of those guys who seems like he's going to 230 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 2: create the moment. He's going to rise to the to 231 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: the occasion. But as much as I love Dominguez, here's 232 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: the adult conversation. The Yankees are a better team with 233 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger in left field one hundred percent. One hundred percent. 234 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 2: New York Sports Empires Jack Curry said that they're still 235 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: on Bellinger and spoke recently about a deal, which means, 236 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 2: if you sign Bellinger and you put him in left field, 237 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 2: you're blocking Jason Dominguez. They just told the Ben Rice 238 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: is the everyday first baseman, so Bellinger's not gonna play there. 239 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: Grisham is locked into center, which means if Bellinger is here, 240 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: Jason becomes a role player, a number four outfielder in 241 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: his age twenty three season, which is not what you want. 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: And if you've watched this team long enough, you know 243 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: exactly where that road usually ends for prospects with you 244 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: getting dealt or dfade just dying on the vine. But 245 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: here's the part that bothers me with Domingez. He struggled 246 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: against lefties, that's real. But instead of letting him fail 247 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: and learn, they sat him, And yes, I get it, 248 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: Grisham and Bellinger had to play their veterans and they 249 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: were raking. You don't bench veterans in a playoff race. 250 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: So I probably would have done the same thing with 251 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: it faced with that decision. But development doesn't happen in theory. 252 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: It happens with repetition. Smart move with Dimingesz last year 253 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 2: would have been, if you're not going to playhim, send 254 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,719 Speaker 2: him down, let him play. The only way you learn 255 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: to hit lefty pitching is by facing lefties. Sitting on 256 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: the bench doesn't sharpen anything. He showed all the right traits. 257 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: Play patients, he spits on close pitches. He runs the 258 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: base as well, He hustles, he smiles, he's a good kid, 259 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 2: got cannon for an arm. He's fast, very fast. These 260 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: are winning player traits. Defense needs works. Can't hit lefties, 261 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: so you work on it, you get better. He's far 262 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: from maxed out as a twenty three year old. I 263 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: don't think he'll be twenty three until February. So now 264 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees are staring at a real choice. Either re 265 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: signed Bellinger and accept that you're blocking one of your 266 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: best young talents, or take the training wheels off and 267 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: let him play and live with the mistakes and live 268 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: with maybe not being as good this year. That's the 269 00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 2: choice the Yankees are facing right now. And look, it 270 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: is Winter League numbers, hitting one eighty four through eleven games, 271 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: thirty eight at bats, seven walks, nine strikeouts, no Homer's 272 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 2: three doubles. He is not lighting the world on fire 273 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: right now, but that's what growth looks like before it 274 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: becomes good. He's working on stuff. What scares me the 275 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: most is trading Domingas and then watching him become a 276 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: stud on another team, because I feel like that's exactly 277 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. That's the most depressing outcome I can 278 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: imagine right now. So hopefully we come to a resolution 279 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 2: here pretty soon about Jason Demngez. I'm at Rosario's back. 280 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: This seems like a very pragmatic move to me. It 281 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: probably rules out the addition to Miguel aanduar, which is 282 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 2: something I kind of had on my Christmas wish list. 283 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 2: Rosario bashes against lefties. You can play the infield, you 284 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: can stick him out there in the outfield if you 285 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 2: need to. Not the sexiest move, but it's a type 286 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: of move the Yankees probably needed to make in the 287 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: absence of acquiring somebody like Fernando Tatisa, stud right handed bat. 288 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: You just need options. You just need good platoon options, 289 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: and he's one of them. This doesn't necessarily mean that 290 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: they won't go out and get somebody like Bobachette, even 291 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: though I don't think they will, and I don't think 292 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 2: they'll bring in somebody like Bregman, and it sounds like 293 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: Tattoos is a non possibility with San Diego. So you know, 294 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: I didn't do a whole show on this, but I 295 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: wanted to comment on it. I think it's a pragmatic 296 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: move for Rosario. As we take a look again dynamic stats, 297 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: we're gonna have stats. Theoretically these should update in real 298 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 2: real time during the season. But you see two seventy 299 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 2: six average, seven to forty five ohps, six home runs, 300 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: twenty three, Ribi's one stolen base, three or nine on 301 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 2: base percentage, seven walks, and thirty one strikeouts. But yeah, 302 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 2: we we added some stuff to the show. We're gonna 303 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: take a couple of looks here at some of it. 304 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: I will take a look at Aaron Judge because his 305 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: stats always fun to look at. So basically, I built 306 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: this widget that you can enter in the player and 307 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 2: it pulls up their stats for the last year. Same 308 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: thing I did with the uh the ticker here and 309 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: that should update in real time. Two we'll see with 310 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 2: league leaders and stats and all that stuff. So I'm 311 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 2: excited to see all the new stuff we got for 312 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 2: you this year. And we're gonna take a quick look 313 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: at some new things that we are adding. So beyond 314 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 2: the real time stats, we're gonna have a new belt 315 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: leader board. I don't know if we ever showed the 316 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 2: final leader board here. This is a new belt leaderboard 317 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six, but we're showing the twenty twenty 318 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 2: five stats here. Jazz Chisholm took it home with eleven belts. 319 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,239 Speaker 2: And this is scrollable, so you know, I can come 320 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: on and hopefully scroll it and we can scroll all 321 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: the way down. We do not have the we don't 322 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: have Voyager two spacecraft on here. We should probably add it. 323 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: Make a note, Frankie, we need to get an official 324 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: player photo for the Voyager two spacecraft. But that'll update 325 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 2: in real time. Frank You'll update it on the spreadsheet 326 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: and it will update right on the screen. We've got 327 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: stuff like the forty man roster, the offense. Now Rosario's 328 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 2: not on here yet because he hasn't been added on 329 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,959 Speaker 2: MLB dot com yet. It's I guess there's some stuff, 330 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: the delay, physical all that stuff, but once he gets added, 331 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: that'll be on here. This will update in real time. Pitchers, 332 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 2: we've got the pitchers here. We can take a look at, 333 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 2: you know, stats in real time. Anybody on the forty 334 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 2: man roster if they were in the minor leagues. Obviously 335 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: they're great out But these are just some of the 336 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: things that we've added this year. The starting pitching. We'll 337 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: be able to look at this throughout the year in 338 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 2: real time, look at all the stats in real time, 339 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 2: look at who's performing. We should be able to have 340 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 2: like projected starters, upcoming schedules, all that stuff. I'm learning 341 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 2: how to do this, so just trying to make the 342 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: show a bit more fun. For you guys coming up 343 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: this year. And then also we got the Bullpen. This 344 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 2: is something that we put together so far we can 345 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 2: take a look at, you know, breakdown righty's versus lefties, 346 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 2: who's available, we're doing pregame shows and stuff like that. 347 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 2: We'll be able to look at the active roster, the lineups, 348 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: all that stuff. So that's kind of what I'm thinking, 349 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: Like you guys have been. I've heard a few people say, like, 350 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: why aren't you doing much this winter.

Wow, whoopee wooo, am ed 382 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: Rosario coming back? Well, it's actually not bad news. 383 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: He's a fine player. 384 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: But geez okay, I'm sure something's exciting gonna happen soon. 385 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't. He's so sure, MV. But let's hope. 386 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 2: So here's not a call about Rosario. 387 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 4: Hey, there, David from Montreal here. So I was still 388 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 4: building at my house and read the Amandro Stario news. 389 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 4: We're signing for one year, two point five million. Just 390 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 4: want to say, I don't know what Cashman's playing at. 391 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 4: We went from the outfield, for example, we went from oh, 392 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 4: we're gonna probably sign Kyle Tucker, resigned Vellinger. We ended 393 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 4: up just resigning Grisham an insane deal. He was probably 394 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 4: getting twenty two million for three years in any other team. 395 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 4: With the Yankees done for the infield, we're saying, oh, 396 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: maybe we make a Zillo for a statists, or we 397 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 4: sign Bichez no Rostario. 398 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: This guy sounds disappointed to get Rosario. Hey, look, he's 399 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: a role player. He's gonna help out. I hope it's 400 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 2: not the Yankees marquee move. I don't think it will be. Uh, 401 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: here we go. This is a this was a funny call. 402 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: Let me go ahead and play this one real Quick's. 403 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 5: Steve from Florida. I want you guys to forget all 404 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 5: the hype tests going on right now and about tellinger 405 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 5: get cal Rally he's making sixteen million a year for 406 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 5: five more years. 407 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 2: Which is exactly why they won't trade him. Smoke crack. 408 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: There is absolutely, positively zero chance at all in the 409 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: world that the Mariners will trade cal Rawy. He just 410 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 2: hit sixty home runs and finished second in the MVP voting. 411 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: Like you said, he doesn't make much money and he's 412 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: under contract for a long time. That, my friend, might 413 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: be the dumbest call in the history of the show. 414 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 2: Appreciate it, though, nice call. 415 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: One more Good morning, Derek. I just want to pronounce 416 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 1: George is now officially turning over in his because the 417 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: media is talking more about the Mets than the Yankees. 418 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: Well, the media is talking more about the Mets and 419 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: the Yankees, but that's because the Mets keep losing players. 420 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 2: Now they have added a couple of guys, They added Polanco, 421 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 2: and they said they were going to play them some 422 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,719 Speaker 2: at first base. He's played I think one game at 423 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: first base in his career. Yeah, right now, I think 424 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 2: the Yankees are in wait and see mode. Right. They're 425 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: not being aggressive, but I do think that they're going 426 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: to get better. I think that they're going to figure 427 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 2: out a way to get better. But let's do the 428 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: comment spotlight. John Roguso says, I don't think Tucker is 429 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: worth the money three hundred to four hundred million or 430 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: the years seven to eight that are being bantered out. 431 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: I would try to bring Belly back at a fair 432 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: five year deal. Here's the problem with that. Every If 433 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: he's willing to take a fair five year deal, every 434 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 2: team's gonna hand that out. Right. I think that you're 435 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 2: gonna have to overpay because you're gonna have to be 436 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: battling off other teams. And it sounds like the Mets 437 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 2: are in on him right until they and you know, 438 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: if they really are intent on playing Polanco at first base, Yeah, 439 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: maybe not, but to me, balancer slides it perfectly at 440 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: first base in Queens. Honestly, at this point, I'd rather 441 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: the Yankees go out and get am I maybe try 442 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: and get a reliever, make a creative trade or two, 443 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: and just let and just let Dominge's play left field. 444 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 2: Let's see what the kids got, all right, let's wrap 445 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 2: things up. The same situation, says Yankee. Yankee is waiting 446 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 2: on releases. Then they bounce at the Willie Calhoun he 447 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: can bang right. Cam schli Lutder thirty one says, Yankee's 448 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 2: price is or Tucker's price is dropping into the Yankees 449 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: price range. One of the things that concerns me about 450 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: Tucker is that you're hearing people say he doesn't love baseball. 451 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: Which it's always a concern when when you hear that, 452 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 2: I mean, look at Anthony Rendon right and uh. Then also, though, 453 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 2: feels like the kind of rumor you put out there 454 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 2: when you want to bring somebody's price down. You know, 455 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: when you want when a guy didn't have a great 456 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: year and you don't want to quite pay five hundred million, 457 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: let's slip out there that he doesn't like baseball. All right, 458 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: listen and gentlemen, I'll be back when there's updates. Be 459 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: sure to call in seven, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten, 460 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: sixty eight.
