1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,400 Speaker 1: Maladies are in jungle to. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 2: Welcome dude, that'd be a stage here. 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 4: Off day for the New York Yankees, and they are 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 4: tied for first place. Good win, good series win against 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 4: the Blue Jays. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you. 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 4: I did not feel optimistic yesterday after the Yankees left 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 4: all of. 9 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 3: Those runners on base early in the game. 10 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 4: We've seen a lot of times this year where they 11 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 4: just failed to capitalize on opportunities, but they came through late. 12 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 4: And hell of a job out of the bullpen by 13 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 4: Mark Leier, and he's a perfect example of why you 14 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 4: need swing and miss, especially in extra innings when you 15 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 4: got that runner on second base and that split finger 16 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 4: fastball was just terrific yesterday. Would not shock me if 17 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 4: he becomes the Yankees' highest leverage relief pitcher down the stretch. 18 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 4: And we do have some guys coming back. We got 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 4: Ian Hamilton coming back, we got Nick Birdie coming back. 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 4: I think it's interesting that Scott e Fross has been 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 4: left in the minor leagues even though he's supposedly healthy. 22 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 4: I think Joel Sherman might be onto something with the 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 4: fact that he didn't recover one hundred percent from his surgery, 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 4: and look, you know, not everybody does. Not everybody comes 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 4: back from Tommy John at one hundred percent. So he's 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 4: got a four point five to eight ERA in the 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 4: minor leagues right now, and. 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: Not what you want. 29 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 4: But I'm looking forward to what Hamilton and Birdie can 30 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 4: inject into this relief corps as we approach the postseason. 31 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 4: Yankees have one of the easiest schedules in baseball down 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 4: the stretch, so as long as they play well, they 33 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 4: should be able to at least compete for the division 34 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 4: title and that'll be fun. And we do have one 35 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 4: more matchup with the Orioles late in the season and 36 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 4: I'm guessing it's gonna all come down to that, but 37 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: you never know with baseball. But we're gonna take a 38 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 4: few voicemails today, not as long as usual. I've got 39 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: a lot to do today, So just gonna go ahead 40 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 4: and take a few voicemails, see what's on your mind, 41 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 4: and then we will be back. 42 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: Tomorrow with the post game. 43 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: I know your study. 44 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 5: I cannot believe as a ball, but do it. 45 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, this is William from Florida. Question, do you 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: think that Aaron Boom should schwap One Soto and Aaron 47 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: Judge in the lineup Now that Judge is getting walked 48 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: so much, maybe we could benefit more having hitting after him. 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: What do you think about that? 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: It's not the ideal scenario because the type of hitter 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 4: that Juan Soto is, He's going to pass the baton 52 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 4: no matter who's hitting behind him, and I would rather 53 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 4: have Judge hitting behind him. 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: So there's gonna be a lot. 55 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 4: Of situations where Soda walks and then Judge walks also, 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: and that's going to come down to Austin Wells and 57 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 4: John Carlos Stanton to do some damage. It's not the 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 4: ideal scenario to have Judge being won as much as 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: he is, but I don't think that will change very 60 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: much with Juan Soto hitting behind him. I think Judge 61 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 4: is just in another category right now, like John Schnyder said, 62 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: and you just have to be extremely careful with him, 63 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: and I can see him walking a lot more down 64 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: the stretch. I think we might look at this series 65 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: as the day that Aaron Judge started getting the Barry 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 4: Bonds treatment. And again I think it's kind of weak, 67 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 4: but it is smart. You know, if you're trying to 68 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: win the game, you don't want Aaron Judge to beat you. 69 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 4: But imagine all the kids. You know, you take your 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 4: son or your daughter to Yankee Stadium. They're wearing the 71 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: number ninety nine jersey that you got him for Christmas. 72 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 4: They're hoping to get Judge's autographed. Maybe they do, maybe 73 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: they don't. But then you don't even really get to 74 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: watch him hit because he automatically gets sent to first 75 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 4: base three or four times. So it's a little bit 76 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 4: disappointing as a fan to watch, but you know that 77 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 4: comes with being as good as he is. 78 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 3: Guys don't want to pitch to you. 79 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek just said from the east side of again. 80 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 5: Hey, the reason why we drafted Wolfie was for him 81 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 5: to hit leadoff. 82 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: And be at the top of the lineup. 83 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 5: We did great when he was there at the beginning 84 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 5: of the Seas until he tailed off. I'm not liking 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 5: the Martian leading off because I need him the backup 86 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 5: judge and the playoffs also, well, i don't think he's 87 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 5: going to be able to hit that good playoff pitching, and. 88 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: I'd much rather have the Martian backing up Judge. 89 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 4: In an ideal world, Anthony Volpi would be your lead 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 4: off hitter, right. He's got all the tools to be 91 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 4: a lead off hitter, but he struggled there at the 92 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 4: end of the first half. That's why he got dropped. 93 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: And he's been doing a great job from the bottom 94 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: half of the order, and I like him down there. 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 4: Yankees need a true leadoff hitter. I wonder if they 96 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 4: would consider, and I'm not advocating for this, but I 97 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: think it's something the Yankees might consider. Putting Juan Soto 98 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: in the leadoff spot. He's still going to get on 99 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 4: base a ton, and then he got Aaron Judge in 100 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: the number two spot, where he's been so comfortable over 101 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: the years. Now he's doing a great job from the 102 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: number three spot. He's already got over one hundred RBIs. 103 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: But you know, maybe that's a scenario that could work 104 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 4: out down the stretch. They've tried Laber Torres there. I 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 4: don't like Glaber in the lead off spot. I hate 106 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: Verdugo in the leadoff spot. He's hitting like two thirty. 107 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 4: Yankees are kind of in a rock and a hard 108 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 4: place now. Maybe when John Birdie comes back, maybe he 109 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 4: becomes your lead off hitter, you put Labor on the bench, 110 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 4: you slide Jazz chishm over to second base. You know 111 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: that's an option. I mean, this guy who has a 112 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: ton of speed. He hit two ninety four last year, 113 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: but he's got to prove he's healthy. So there's a 114 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 4: lot of season left to go about fifty games, and 115 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,119 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if whoever is hitting lead off 116 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 4: for Game one of the Alds is not even on 117 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: the roster right now. Whether it's Domingez, whether it's Bertie, 118 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 4: we'll see, but Yankees definitely need to get a real 119 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: leadoff hitter. 120 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 2: Hiday is Alreadys Multen from Touches. Yes, you were talking 121 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: about the MVP and a runner up. Yes, four times. 122 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 2: It happened in quite a while. In two thousand, Jeff 123 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: Kent was a winner, Barry Bonds as a runner up 124 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: from the Giants. Nineteen ninety, Barry Bonds won the MVP, 125 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: Bobby Bonia was the runner up from the Pirates. In 126 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine, Kevin Mitchell was the winner and Will 127 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: Clark was a runner up the Giants, And nineteen eighty 128 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: three Kyle Wipkin Jr. Won the MVP and Eddie Murray 129 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: was the runner up and they're from the Baltimore Orioles. 130 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: Awesome, very cool, Thanks for the research. I think there's a. 131 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 4: Non zero chance that Aaron Judge and Juan Soto finished 132 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: one two in the MVP, and that would be a 133 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 4: ton of fun and it'll definitely help Juan Soto's free 134 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: agent price, which is already going to be astronomical. 135 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: Be interesting to see if the Yankees resign him. 136 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 5: Hey, Derek got the sky cards to my second time call, 137 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 5: and I just wanted to see what you think about 138 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 5: Jazz so far. I think it's awesome what we're seeing 139 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 5: on the base paths with him. I think he's brought 140 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 5: a lot of energy to this team that I think 141 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 5: a lot of people who weren't a big san of 142 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 5: getting Jazz begin with. I think some of those people 143 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 5: are starting the second think about that has been a 144 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 5: more positive way. I think Jazz is a really good pickup, 145 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: but I know some people weren't a huge fan of it. 146 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 5: Thanks Derek, as always, you rock and Yeah Yankees one. 147 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: Jazz has done a terrific job so far, especially at 148 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 4: third base. I mean that's kind of an underrated part 149 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: of what he's given the Yankee so far. He stabilized 150 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 4: that position. He's got good hands, he's got a good arm, 151 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,559 Speaker 4: he's got a great internal clock. 152 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: Now, he's very fast on the basis he's got some power. 153 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: I don't think he's ever gonna be the Yankees' leadoff 154 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: hitter because he just doesn't hit enough. But I think 155 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 4: as long as he keeps doing what he's doing, Yankees 156 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: fans are gonna like him. Now, will you like him 157 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: when he's in a huge slump like every player goes through, 158 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 4: or will we be fair weather fans. I'm sure there's 159 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: going to be some of both. But I like what 160 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 4: Jazz Hasm's adding to the Yankee so far. And credit 161 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 4: to Brian Cashman. That's a good move and it seems 162 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 4: to have energized this team because from the minute that 163 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: trade was announced, this team has been on fire. All right, guys, 164 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 4: that's it. Sorry for the short voicemail show this. I've 165 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: got a direct fair territory with Ken Rosenthal, and I've 166 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 4: got to direct the Dodgers territory today with Alana Rizzo 167 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: and Clint p Cso I'll be working on those. Just 168 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: had to get some voicemails up this morning, see how 169 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 4: you guys are feeling. There's a chance I might do 170 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 4: something this evening. We'll see, but pretty soon we'll be back, 171 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: so hang in there and we'll see you next time.
