1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: Ladies and juglebar, welcome. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: To think. 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 3: How's it going? Everybody? Welcome back. Today is Monday, August 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 3: twenty sixth. There are thirty one games left in the 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 3: baseball season. Yankees are in first place by a game 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 3: and a half, and I've been thinking about how many 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,080 Speaker 3: wins it will take to win the American League East, 8 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 3: perhaps to get home field advantage in the American League 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. And there's also this talk of whether 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 3: or not the first round by is actually more of 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 3: a detriment than a benefit. I think the players would 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: like to have the rest, but in recent years a 13 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 3: number of teams have struggled with that five day layoff. 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 3: But we got thirty one games left, and the way 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: I figure it, if you go twenty and eleven, that's 16 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: ninety seven wins. That's probably more than we thought the 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 3: Yankees would get this year. I remember in the beginning 18 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: of the season, I was thinking, like, you know, maybe 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 3: ninety three, ninety four wins. But you know, they've really 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: outdone themselves, you know, and without so many blown saves 21 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 3: by Clay Holmes, you could be looking at one hundred 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 3: and three hundred and four wins. But I think it's 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: gonna take ninety seven wins, which means we got to 24 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: win twenty of the next thirty one games by my math, 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 3: and it could take more, but that's just kind of 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: how I figure it. That's my guess. Ninety seven seventy 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: home runs for Judge is not out of the realm 28 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 3: of possibility with the way he's been swinging the bat. 29 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: Been a lot of talk about sixty three, but it 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: seems like his pace gets higher every day. He's got 31 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 3: nine home runs in the last ten games. He needs 32 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 3: nineteen home runs in his final thirty one games this 33 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,639 Speaker 3: season to reach seventy. He would be only the third 34 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 3: player ever to reach seventy home runs. Mark McGuire was 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: the first in nineteen ninety eight. I remember that summer. 36 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 3: It was wild, and even Mark McGuire needed like five 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: home runs in the final three games to get there, 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: and he was seeing a lot of pitches right down 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: the middle because the other teams just like, well, just 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: let him hit. It'd be interesting to see if that 41 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 3: happens with Aaron Judge. I doubt it. We're definitely going 42 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 3: to be playing the Orioles late in September. They're not 43 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 3: going to give him much to hit. So you know, 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: I think realistically between sixty and sixty four home runs 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: is what we can expect for Aaron Judge, but it 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 3: would be wild if he could get there, it would 47 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: be wild. And look, Mondays suck. Everybody knows that Mondays suck. 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: And this is an unusual Monday for me because I 49 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: woke up in a good mood because the Yankees extended 50 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 3: their first place lee last night with a loss by 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 3: the Orioles. You had two home runs from Judge, you 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 3: had a home run from Soto, home run from Stanton, 53 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: three run home run from Torres, who looks way better 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: out of the leadoff spot recently. So for once, I 55 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: woke up on a Monday feeling pretty good. And I've 56 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: started giving some thought about the playoff roster. Who is 57 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: going to be on that playoff roster? Could somebody who 58 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: gets called up in September make it? For instance, Jason Dominguez. 59 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: We've had some better at bats recently from Alex Ferdugo, 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: but I'm still kind of concerned with his general play. Overall, 61 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: pretty good defender, but man, he has really really struggled 62 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 3: for about two and a half months offensively, And if 63 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: you hear some loud noise in the background. That's the 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: landscaping people. Awesome right during the middle of my show. 65 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 3: Might as well get to the voicemails. 66 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 4: Here we go. 67 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 5: I know, yak steady, I cannot believe the bolt, but 68 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 5: do it. 69 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 6: I just want to wish the guy who called in 70 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 6: the voicemail show in April asking for Judge to be 71 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 6: traded a very, very happy Sunday. 72 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: So that sounds like a good idea. While we wait 73 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: for the landscapers to go away, why don't I play 74 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: a couple of quick voicemails from earlier the season, in 75 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: case you missed them. 76 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: I love what's going on this year, except for what's going. 77 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 7: On with Aaron Judge. 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: He needs to be dropped to significantly in the order. 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: If he truly is a captain of quality, he will 80 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: understand the reason, and he will it may incite him 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 4: to produce. 82 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 7: I am so tired of you guys defending any Judge 83 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 7: he sucks. Social is the heart and soul of the team. 84 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 7: I'm tired everybody saying day it's still earlier, still early. 85 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 7: Re elect twenty of us our thirty games into the season. 86 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 7: Matter of fact, Judge got the bank, Judge, don't care 87 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 7: no more. 88 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 6: He sucks. 89 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 8: We see the lot post state contract letdowns. 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, too many double plays for tasticks. 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 4: Jack has more double plays than some teams. 92 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: And that is why you don't trade your franchise player 93 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: or bench them or drop them in the order after 94 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: a cold April, Welcome to baseball. It's a very, very 95 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: long season. 96 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: So does you take the same contracts Judge? 97 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 5: He's never going to have a better big. 98 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 3: Ever, short and sweet call. But I'll go ahead and 99 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: tell you right now, there is no way in the 100 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: world that Wan Soda will take the same contract as 101 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. And it's not about having a better season. Look, 102 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: Wan Soto is younger than Aaron Judge. Wan Soto is 103 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 3: going to be twenty six years old when he's a 104 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: free agent, four years younger than Aaron Judge was when 105 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: he was a free agent. And let's not forget that 106 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 3: Juan Soto already turned down four hundred and fifty million 107 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 3: from the Nationals. He wants to get five hundred plus 108 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: million dollars and he's going to the real question is 109 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: whether he gets six hundred million dollars. His contract is 110 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: going to be enormous, especially if he can create or 111 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: if Scott Boris can create a bidding war between the 112 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: Yankees and the Mets, two of the richest franchises in sports, 113 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: and Cohen has basically endless money. The caller the other 114 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: day said eighteen billion dollars. The Yankees also have stupid money. 115 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 3: But both of these teams realistically are going to play 116 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: in the luxury tax system. They don't want to pay 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: other teams to compete against them, so they're going to 118 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: try and stay as low as possible with that salary. 119 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 3: You don't get rich by spending stupidly, and they don't 120 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: want to drive up the price of other free agents. 121 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 3: So I think Wan Soto is going to get five 122 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty five hundred and sixty million dollars. It's 123 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: going to be a bidding war back and forth between 124 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 3: the Yankees and the Mets. The Yankees aren't going to 125 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 3: bid against themselves. What they're going to do is tell 126 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: Wan Soto, hey, look, talk to whoever you got to 127 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: talk to, make sure you give us your final phone call. 128 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 3: We love you, we want you here, we can protect 129 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 3: you with Aaron Judge, and we'll try and do our 130 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 3: best to make the numbers reasonable. As long as they 131 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 3: can work out for us and we can still feel 132 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: the competitive team, that's what they're. 133 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 8: Going to take. 134 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 3: Tem You don't even have to be in the room 135 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: to know that. The question is will want so to 136 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: only want the highest dollar? Or will he want, as 137 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: Rod Tidwell would put it, the kwan the combination of 138 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: the money, the winning, the happiness, the situation. And I 139 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: think just seeing him play and watching how he's adjusted 140 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: to New York, I think he likes being a Yankee. 141 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 8: Hey, what's up, Derek. I've really enjoyed your show man 142 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 8: pits Shrip's territory for our goal for everything. Got a 143 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 8: quick question for you, man. 144 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: So let's say we are able to give Soto that 145 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: fifty to sixty mili, which I hope that's all that 146 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 2: it takes, right, How is the rest of the team 147 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 2: gonna look? I mean, I really do hope so too, stays, 148 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, if you know, the. 149 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 8: Dominican flag is always waving in the right view. He's 150 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 8: always playing with the feat of preachers out there. What 151 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 8: do you think, man, how is the rest of the 152 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 8: team going to look even after finding him? 153 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: You know, what are some of the. 154 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 8: Positions that we're still lacking. I mean, I love Jazz 155 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 8: on third base. Bull Phase is going to stay there, 156 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 8: but you know that second basement in Labor and that 157 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 8: first base position, the one looks too great. 158 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 4: We're good with Alcius. 159 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: What do you think, man, if you hand out an 160 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: enormous contract of fifty million dollars per year or so 161 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: to Juan Soto, it's going to force you to use 162 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: some of your minor league depth to fill out other 163 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: areas of the roster. Now, the Martian is inexpensive, He's 164 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 3: going to take over for Verdugo. That's one hundred percent. 165 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 3: Second base. You got Labor Torres, a free agent. You 166 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: can knock ten million dollars off right there, because you 167 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 3: can just replace him with Oswald Piraza or Orbitt Vivas. 168 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: At first base, You've got Anthony Rizzo, but I don't 169 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: think he's coming back. He's got an option. I think 170 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: you can replace him with Ben Rice or even better, 171 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 3: Austin Wells, because I want his bat in there more often. 172 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: Wells is a good catcher, but I would not be 173 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 3: opposed to taking his bat and moving it over to 174 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: first base. He's played a little bit of first base. 175 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 3: In the past. Most catchers have good hands, they're good 176 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: at scooping, and so I could see him having some 177 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: success over there. But you know, Ben Rice has also 178 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 3: had some moments, although he's fallen off a little bit lately, 179 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: and that means you would have Trevigno as your main catcher. 180 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 3: Platinum Glove winner has shown a little bit of the 181 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: hit tool again this year, and then you got Carlos 182 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: Norvayez available as his backup at third base. You know, 183 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 3: you probably got to go with oswald Perrazza or Oswaldo Cabrera. 184 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: I could see them using yorbit Vivas. So you're gonna 185 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: have to fill in using some of these young guys 186 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: that can play multiple positions. Volpi's not going anywhere. He's 187 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 3: not arbitration eligible yet, so they got him under control. 188 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: As far as pitching goes, You're not gonna go out 189 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 3: and sign somebody like Corbyn Burns or any of that. 190 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 3: You're gonna If you're signed Soto, you're basically committing to 191 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 3: We're gonna keep mostly the same team and just try 192 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: and bring up some youth. You know, Garrett Cole has 193 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: an opt out. I don't think he will use it. 194 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: If he does, the Yankees can extend him by one season. 195 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: I think that they will kind of him and Hawe 196 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: on that, but ultimately, if they're forced to, they will 197 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 3: do it. Carlos Rodin is signed for multiple years. Luis 198 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: Heel is young and inexpensive and has proven to be 199 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 3: very good. Be interesting to see if Nestor Cortes is back. 200 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: Clark Schmidt is still pretty inexpensive and he has proven 201 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: to be pretty good when he's out there. This year, 202 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: he's been hurt a little bit, but I think the 203 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 3: Yankees do have some young options to fill out the 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: roster in the event that they hand out a massive 205 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 3: contract to want Soda. 206 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, this Terry in Ohio just like a little 207 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: pet pee thing for me to Boon's got his head 208 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: that Wills can hit left cam pitching to me, if 209 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: you've got a weakness like that, you need to play. No, 210 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: you're not getting any experience if you're sitting on the bench. 211 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: And also I kind of like to see Balby take 212 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: a day off, but put Cabby in there. Cabby is 213 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: the man, and I don't think Kabby's going to hurt 214 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: you at all one game playing shortstop it's just I 215 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: think Valpy made a little breather, and I think Cabby 216 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: is the guy they. 217 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 5: Could do it. 218 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. I agree with you with Austin 219 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: Wells against lefties and in the development of new skills 220 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: in general, if you have a weakness, the only way 221 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: to improve on that weakness is with repetitions. And if 222 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: he's not playing against lefties, he's not going to get 223 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 3: better against him. Now, they do have these specialized pitching 224 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 3: machines where it can model a pitcher's basically his wind 225 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 3: up and his pitch release, everything down to spin rate 226 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 3: and the break on their pitches and things like that. 227 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 3: So maybe he's getting some work against lefties behind the scene, 228 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: but it's not the same as hitting in the game, 229 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: and we've seen him hit them all hard against lefties 230 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 3: from time to time. But I agree with you, more 231 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: reps is better. As far as giving Volpi a day off, 232 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: that's a no brainer. He plays a tough position. He's 233 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 3: shown that when he gets some time off he comes 234 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 3: back strong, and he's been slumping lately. I also think 235 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: that his swing got a little bit big. He hit 236 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 3: those home runs coming out of the break and kind 237 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: of got it in his head that he's a home 238 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 3: run hitter again. Whereas when he's hitting line drives like 239 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 3: he did in the gap the other day, I think 240 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: he's a much better player.

I mean, you can go a 271 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: lifetime and never see somebody hit sixty home runs, and 272 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 3: he's going to do it twice in three years, and 273 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: like we mentioned earlier, he's got a shot at seventy 274 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 3: and if not this year, over the next couple of 275 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 3: years he could definitely get there. It's one of those 276 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: things that you know, as a sports fan, you can 277 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 3: enjoy almost more in retrospect and looking back on it 278 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 3: then in the moment because it takes a while to unfold. 279 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 3: But at the end of the season there's going to 280 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: be all these people who put out the montages of 281 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 3: Judges sixty four sixty five home runs or whatever. I 282 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: created that documentary chasing History the Summer of Judge after 283 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 3: his last time. I don't think I'm going to be 284 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 3: able to top that. I started working on it, and 285 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: it's just, you know, with all the copyright stuff, it's 286 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 3: just not going to happen. But if you don't want 287 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: to go back and watch the twenty twenty two season 288 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: and see his sixty two there, I recommend it. It's 289 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: my favorite piece of work that I've ever created. But yeah, 290 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: I mean this is historic, it's amazing, it's all that stuff. 291 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: You never run out of superlatives. He's just a man 292 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: among boys right now. 293 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 10: Pin Soto also impress. 294 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 6: How many year contract? 295 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 8: I was thinking maybe like ten year or nine year 296 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 8: for about seven hundred million in the Yankees. 297 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 5: Cousam, that could be great and fallon Glibberts for us. 298 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 8: He's doing great too, but I don't on the upcome 299 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 8: will be maybe best idea they could give him contract 300 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 8: this year or none. 301 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: Your voicemail kind of cut out a little bit there. 302 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: But you know, obviously, Juan Soto is tremendous. He's probably 303 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: gonna finish top three in the MVP voting, if not 304 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 3: number two. But you can't sign him and also sign 305 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: Labor Torres. And I don't think the Yankees have any 306 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: interest in signing Labor Torres. He's been playing better lately. 307 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: I would say that great is kind of a stretch. 308 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: He's been getting on base more. He had a home 309 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 3: run yesterday. I'll tell you what we could use great. 310 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 3: We could use a great month from Labor Torres. Maybe 311 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: he gets hot in the playoffs and that ups his 312 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 3: value as a free agent, But I don't see any 313 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 3: way that he's coming back to the Yankees. All Right, everybody, 314 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 3: thanks for calling in. I'll check you after the game today. 315 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 3: Remember that the game starts at six forty five tonight 316 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 3: against the Nationals, so recap will be a little bit 317 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 3: earlier than usual, probably around nine fifteen, nine twenty or so, 318 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: So tune in and we'll catch you then, and Aaron 319 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,479 Speaker 3: Judge will continue, hopefully his assault on the record. 320 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 6: Books the PA. 321 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: All right, today's no stra Derek prediction. We all know 322 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 3: that when John Carlos Stanton is swinging the bat well. 323 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 3: He can be extremely hot, and if he's in the lineup, 324 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 3: I think he's going deep again tonight. That home run 325 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 3: to dead center field yesterday was impressive. He's hit homers 326 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 3: to centerfield twice in the last few days. He also 327 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: went deep to right field. He is heating up and 328 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: I think we're getting ready to see nuclear Stanton. So 329 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 3: my prediction home run from John Carlow.
