1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: Under Pull up, captroll, Welcome back everybody. As of this moment, 2 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: we are about two months away from the trade deadline, 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the Yankees might not have 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: the luxury of waiting around that long. This Aaron Judge 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: injury changes everything. There was a report this morning that 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: confirmed what I kind of suspected last night when we 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: heard the official diagnosis, which is that best case scenario 8 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: he returns sometime in August. Now, we've had a lot 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: of comments from doomers who are saying season's over. 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 2: Pack it in. 11 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Well, pardon me, but I don't give up that easily, 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Yankees should give up that 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: easily either, especially with a weak American league. The Yankees 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: have fantastic pitching. They have possibly the best rotation that 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: they've had this century. And I think that if you 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: can just manage to weather the storm for the next 17 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: eight to ten weeks, and if Brian Cashman can start 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: acting now instead of waiting till July thirty, first, maybe 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: the Yankees can survive this. You can survive a week 20 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: without Judge, you can survive maybe even two weeks without Judge. 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: But the way this team is constructed there's a lot 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: of eggs in the Aaron Judge basket, and I don't 23 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: know if you can survive two and a half months 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: without Aaron Judge without making significant upgrades to the team. 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: And here's the thing. 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: If Cashman can move quickly and bring in a bat 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: or two to replace some of that lost production, those 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: additions don't disappear when Judge returns, so you may end 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: up even coming out stronger on the other side. But 30 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: that means that Hal will have to do something that 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to do, which is he's going to 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: have to make additional financial commitments, and Cashman will probably 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: have to do something that he doesn't want to do, 34 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: which is trade good prospects and overpay substantially for some 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: guys who might be expensive or even over the hill 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: past their prime, but are still effective enough to help 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: this team over the next few months. So if you 38 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: make some moves suddenly, when Aaron Judge comes back, you're 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: adding Judge to a lineup that's already been reinforced. Now, 40 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: are any of these trades my dream target? 41 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 2: No, not really. 42 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: A month ago, I would have told you to pass 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: on most of these guys, but circumstances change, and the 44 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Yankees are already sliding and the division is tight, and 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: with Judge being out now for a couple of months, 46 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees might not be able to take the gamble 47 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: of just sitting around and hoping that they're still in 48 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: contention when he comes back. So I want to go 49 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: over some trade possibilities, some targets that we've seen mentioned, 50 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and then we'll take a couple of voicemails. So let's 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: begin with some pitching. I think this is the least 52 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: likely trade, but we've seen him mention a few times 53 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: another guy who's injured right now, but we'll be back later. 54 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, the Yankees got to improve now, 55 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: and this is a guy who's gonna command a big 56 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: price tag, and I think that the Yankees would be 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: better off using their trade chips to improve the offense. 58 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: But Tarik Skobele, twenty nine year old, two time cy 59 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: Young Award winner, he was off to a good start. 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: Through his first forty three to third innings, he had 61 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a two point seven zero ERA. He is a top 62 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: of the rotation ace and if you added him to 63 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: you know Cam Schlitzler and Garrett Cole, who both had 64 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: bad outings this week, but are still aces and you 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: know Carlos Rodin and Max Fried and Will Warrant. I mean, 66 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: you could just really really strengthen that rotation and you 67 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: could allow one of your good arms to go reinforce 68 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: the bullpen a little bit. Now, he's gonna come with 69 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: a huge price tag because he's a difference maker. So 70 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: every team that's in contention and needs pitching is gonna 71 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: want him. And coming off of an injury, you know 72 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: what are we gonna get? This is the guy who 73 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: had surgery. It's not easy to come back from surgery 74 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: in one year and basically pitch at a cy young level. Also, 75 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna be a free agent, so there's a good 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: chance that you know, you'll get the worst of him 77 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: and then you'll have to pay an enormous fee to 78 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: keep him. I think this one is Pasadena for me. Uh, 79 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: but we'll see what the Yankees choose to do. We 80 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: did get a call about how you can win with 81 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: pitching and defense, and I agree with that. The Yankees 82 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: do have pretty good starting pitching. They need to improve 83 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: the bullpen and their defense a little shaky, let's be honest. 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Next on the list Isak parades. Now, this is a 85 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: guy who is very interesting to me. He's a right 86 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: handed bat. He is currently with the Houston Astros two 87 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: thirty eight average, so not exactly turning the cover off 88 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: the ball, a little bit of pop. Seven home runs, 89 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: twenty seven, Ribi's three thirty two on base percentage, doesn't 90 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: run very fast, no stolen bases, he doesn't strike out 91 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: a ton, his wiff rate is lower than you know, 92 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: league average. He won't cost much in a trade, I 93 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: don't think. I think the Yankees would have to absorb 94 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: all of his remaining contract. And he's twenty seven years old, 95 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: which is very reasonable for you know, acquiring somebody. It's 96 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot better than acquiring a thirty seven year old. 97 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Let's be honest. He's not fast and he is average 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: to blow average defensively, so the Yankees would be taking 99 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: a hit in one area to get better offensively, sort 100 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: of robbing Peter to pay Paul. But he's somebody that 101 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: is worth looking into, and as of right now, as 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: of this moment, I think he would be an improvement 103 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: over Ryan McMahon, or at least a nice augmentation to 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon. Maybe McMahon plays against righty's and parades plays 105 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: against lefties. 106 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 2: But good player. 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: I would not be opposed to this move, depending on 108 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: what you have to trade to get him. Next. Adley Rutschman, 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: now this is one that's very interesting. He would probably 110 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: be at the top of my list if he were available. 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: I've heard some people say that the Orioles are against 112 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: trading this guy, who is supposed to be one of 113 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: their cornerstone players in the division, because if he becomes 114 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: a stud and beats you over the next decade with 115 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: a division rival, you look horrible. My bet is that 116 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: if they do deal Adlee Rushman, it will be to 117 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: the National League and it will be as far away 118 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: from Baltimore as possible. But if Baltimore has their eyeballs 119 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: on some Yankees prospects, that could make this work. He 120 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: is a fantastic player. He's not Austin Wells and he's 121 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: not Jcscars, so he's already got that going for him. 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: He's a world class defender, a really good catcher, and 123 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: he's having a solid year. He's got a seven ninety 124 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: nine ops thirty one ribies, which is more than Austin 125 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 1: Wells is on pace to dry I've in all season, 126 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: his price tag will be enormous, and coming in as 127 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: a catcher, he would have to learn the staff, which 128 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: is not going to be easy. So just keep an 129 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: eye out see if the Orioles are willing to deal him. 130 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,239 Speaker 1: If they are, the Yankee should be in on this. Next. 131 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 2: Ryan Jeffers. This is another guy. 132 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Who is not Austin Wells and he is not a J. 133 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: C Ascaris, so he's got that going for him. He 134 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: was having a great year. He broke his handmate bone. 135 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: He had surgery. He's a solid hitter and a solid defender. 136 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: He's twenty nine years old, so he's still young enough 137 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: to have some energy in his legs. And you know, 138 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: having missed a little bit of time with that himmate 139 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: bone injury, you know, maybe he can help you down 140 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the stretch and be fresh when you get to the postseason. 141 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: But he would also have to learn the staff. But again, 142 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: just being a different human being than either Austin Wells 143 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: or J. C Ascara is worth it to me. It's 144 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: worth at least a couple of good prospects, all right. 145 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: CJ. 146 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: Abrams, this is another guy who would be at the 147 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: top of my list. He's having a fantastic year with 148 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals. He's hitting two eighty eight with a 149 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: nine to three OPS, a three eighty one on base percentage, 150 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: and he's in the ninety ninth percentile in batting run 151 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: value right now. He's got excellent speed. He's a fantastic 152 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: base runner, just twenty five years old. Downside is he's 153 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: not a good defender, negative six out above average right now. 154 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: He's going to have a big price tag that comes 155 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: along with him. He's young. 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: He's made some mistakes. Last year. 157 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 1: There was a situation might have been two years ago 158 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: now that I think about it, where he had to 159 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: be benched because he spent an entire night out at 160 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: a casino before a game. He does have a high 161 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: chase and high with rate. But he's a good kid. 162 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: Everything I've heard about him is that he's a good player. 163 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: He's getting better. Look, I would not be opposed to 164 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: this at all. I should have included in the pros. 165 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: He's not Anthony Volpi, Mike Trout. Now this one is 166 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: interesting to me. He is still very dangerous. Would a 167 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: Pennant race would coming to the American League East and 168 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: having a chance to fill in for Judge. Would that 169 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: energize him. We saw one of the greatest back and 170 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: forths between two potential Hall of famers or future Hall 171 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: of famers that we've seen when he and Judge both 172 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: hit I believe four or five home runs in a 173 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: four game series. I mean, it was insane what these 174 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: guys did every bat. These guys are ripping the baseball. 175 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: It was a ton of fun to watch. Imagine you 176 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: get him in the lineup and then Judge comes back. 177 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: Imagine that he still walks a ton, He's still fast, 178 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: He's got a four to eleven on base percentage, fourteen 179 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 1: home runs, thirty one ribies. He would be fun to watch. 180 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: It would be great to see him as a legend. Downsides, 181 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: he's got a big contract. He's not a kid anymore. 182 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: He's thirty four, and he's already had a ton injuries, 183 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: so you know, maybe his body has broken down a 184 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: little bit. And with coming up into the major leagues 185 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: at nineteen years old, you know, some of these guys 186 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: they don't last as long. They the mileage of playing 187 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two games a season, you know, 188 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: starts to wear on you, and by your late thirties. 189 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: A lot of times these guys are are basically done. 190 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: So it's it's not without risk. But this is what 191 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: I think the Yankee should look into if they can 192 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: get a good deal, you know, not have to give 193 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: up a big prospect, and maybe get a little bit 194 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: of salary relief from the Angels because you could slide 195 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: him in to DH. He could play the outfield a 196 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: little bit. He would definitely help out your offense until 197 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: Judge comes back, provided he could stay healthy. And then 198 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: Byron Buxton, huge power, having a good season. 199 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 2: This is another guy who has a big injury history. 200 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: He's got eighteen home runs, twenty eight ribies, two fifty 201 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: eight average, insane, athletic ability, insane. He's an excellent defender, 202 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: he's got great speed, he's a great bas runner. But 203 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: a guy who misses. He swings and misses a lot, 204 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: and he's gotten an injury history. Now, last year he 205 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: did hit thirty five home runs, He played you know 206 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: a lot of games, and he was really solid. This 207 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: year he's been mostly healthy, so maybe he has gotten 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: over the injury bug. Maybe he's realized you don't need 209 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: to play at one hundred and ten percent, you know, 210 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: constantly and push your body to its limits, you know, 211 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: dial it back to ninety five percent just to stay healthy. 212 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: And his natural athletic ability allows him to still excel. 213 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: So Buckston is somebody we've seen mentioned. Wouldn't hate it. 214 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: Yankees could use him. They need a bat, so keep 215 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: an eye out. These are the trade targets we've seen 216 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: so far. I created something about a week ago that 217 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you guys. This is called 218 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: Baseball Therapy. Go to baseball dashtherapy dot com. It's completely free. 219 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: It's got little arcade style games just for I call 220 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: it for the fan who needs a mound visit. So 221 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: you've got Launch Angle, which is basically a game of 222 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: breakout where you have a ball and you got a 223 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: little bat, and you've got to try and break all 224 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: the blocks. And then my favorite is Dinger Drop, which 225 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: is essentially Planko. I can't say planko, but it's essentially Plinko. 226 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: You basically got to try and just get home runs. 227 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: You drop the ball into this little Plinko style matrix 228 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: and it falls and it falls and it bounces around 229 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: and it makes a little fun noises and it takes 230 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: a minute and it settles you down. It's a little 231 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: bit of therapy when you know you're upset about Aaron Judge. 232 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 1: So instead of coming into the comments and leaving doomer 233 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: comments like man, the season's over, and oh man, you. 234 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: Know I hate Judge, I hate the Yankees, I hate life. 235 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 2: I want to, you know whatever. 236 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: Just play a little bit of baseball therapy and maybe 237 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: you'll have a little bit fun. Let's see where we 238 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: end up here. I'm curious it takes. I purposely made 239 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: it slow so that you know, there's a little bit 240 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: of a oh oh, are we gonna get it out? 241 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna get a home right note, looks like we're 242 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: gonna get oh oh oh too, run Dinger to run Homer. 243 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: H there's there's a Let's just go ahead and take 244 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 2: a look at what else we have. 245 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: We have a mound visit, which is basically like a 246 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: roulette style game. You just spind a thing and it'll 247 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: give you a little bit of baseball wisdom or a 248 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: baseball joke. Momentum is only good as next day's starting pitcher. 249 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: So anyway, vibe coded this. I'm still building it and 250 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: still working on it. Let's take some voicemails. 251 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: Derek kN La, I'm gonna take a contrarian point of view. 252 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: I just think if yeah, I'd actually soon go after 253 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: school and reinforce and strengthen the bullpen. Teams can win 254 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 3: with pitching and defense. 255 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 4: They have to. 256 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 5: Obviously short the defense so they don't have to score 257 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: that much. They can win two one, four, two, et cetera. 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: And if Judge can come back and stride in September, 259 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 5: let's say, going through all the preliminary stuff in July 260 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 5: and August, they'd have him for the stretch run, playoffs, 261 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 5: possible World Series. Anyway, that was my thoughts take here. 262 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 2: I love an optimistic fan. I think he'll be back 263 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: in August. 264 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: I think, if you know, I mean, you'll walk off 265 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: home run with this injury. So it's not like he 266 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: can't breathe, it's not like he can't move. He's got 267 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: a you know, he's got a problem. He's gotta let 268 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: it heal. The problem is that the ribs they heal 269 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: slow because there's not a lot of blood flow there. 270 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: It can be difficult and you know, you're you're constantly 271 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: moving around. So he's got to rest and then he's 272 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: got to build himself back up. So maybe mid August. 273 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: We'll see. But we're gonna call here from Simon. 274 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 4: Hi, Derek, it's your boy, Simon calling from Bellavista, New Hayes, Connecticut. 275 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 4: You know, Derek, I like how you the miss Sembilee played. 276 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 4: I like how you think like me because I've been 277 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 4: saying all Alonge them, I gift from God, Aaron Judge 278 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 4: should be a full time DH. I really I was 279 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 4: the first I said it. But I like how you 280 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: think like me. I mean, Judge is better off, dhing. 281 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 4: I mean it's like his fourth time getting hurt of 282 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: the bone bruis with stuff. We need him though without 283 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 4: him went dead. Derek, we are did. Let's just hope 284 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 4: the Yankees score some runs against the Red Sox and 285 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 4: when when these games for our captain, well you have 286 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 4: a good day, Derek, go Yankees by. 287 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Simon, appreciate the call. Simon always always positive. 288 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: I was saying when Stanton went down that Judge should 289 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: be the DH for a while because I want this 290 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: man in there for his bat. I know he's a 291 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: good defender and he's saved a couple of games with 292 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: throws and with you know, catches and so on. But hey, 293 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: he's in there to hit fifty home runs and now 294 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: we'll be lucky if he hits thirty. 295 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 6: Morning, Derek morning. I hope you're enjoying your coffee today, 296 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 6: even though it might taste a little different with the 297 00:15:55,120 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 6: news about garyn Judge. That's saying, can we say cashin now? 298 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 6: I know we can't ring the bells of alarnment, but 299 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 6: Cashine now needs to bring an actual, real back besides 300 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 6: replacing the catcher that we need to replace, which is more. 301 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 6: He's very prioritizing at the moment. Now we have to 302 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 6: bring another bat to supplement Aaron Judge absence, and I 303 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 6: get it, specially Jones there. He might be there for 304 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 6: the first few weeks, maybe until Cashman makes the trade 305 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 6: or something. But I don't think he's the answer at 306 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 6: the moment. But that's what we have for now. He 307 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 6: needs to go get somebody really big. I'm not thinking 308 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 6: in all right. 309 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: So he goes on for about another two minutes, but 310 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: I just want to say, Spencer Jones, we looked at 311 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: him last night. He did not exactly excel during his 312 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: brief cup of coffee with the Yankees, but I would 313 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: imagine he's going to get the call hitting two sixty 314 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: nine thirteen runs forty eight RBIs nine forty nine ops. 315 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: He gets compared to Aaron Judge a lot because of 316 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: his size, and he's even tried to model, you know, 317 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: part of his swing from Aaron Judge, and I think 318 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: that's always been unfair and I try to avoid those comparisons, 319 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: but I did compare last night. You know, when Spencer 320 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: Jones came up, he struck out a ton, But same 321 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 1: thing happened with Aaron Judge. He made an adjustment, came 322 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: back the next year and was much better. That's not 323 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: gonna happen with everybody, but Spencer Jones clearly needed to 324 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: make an adjustment. Hopefully he's been working on those adjustments 325 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. You know that the Yankee sent 326 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: him back down with some things to work on. And 327 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: let's just hope they start to pay dividends. All right, guys, 328 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: I'll be back after the game today.
