1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,360 Speaker 1: Ladies and juggle the. 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 2: Welcome here thing. 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 3: Fat Good morning everybody. Today is Monday, September ninth, and 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 3: the Yankees are kicking off a three game set with 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 3: the Kansas City Royals tonight. We're gonna see Bobby Witch Junior, 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 3: one of the top MVP finalists, although he's probably gonna 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 3: finish second to Aaron Judge. Although Aaron Judge needs to 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 3: get going. We'll talk about that in a minute. But 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: this is a big series because the Yankees have not 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 3: been playing great. They scored three runs against the Cubs 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 3: on Friday, they scored two runs on Saturday and one 12 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 3: run yesterday, so six runs in three games. The offense 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 3: has got to turn it back on and hopefully coming 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 3: home and playing in the Bronx and being comfortable will 15 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: be just the ticket. But this should be an interesting series. 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 3: The Royals are no slouch. They've got Brady Singer going tonight. 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 3: He's got a three point three to five ERA. The 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 3: Royals are seventy nine and sixty five this season. They're 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: four games back in the lost column from the Yankees 20 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 3: in terms of the American League standing, so they they're 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 3: competing to try and get the best record in the 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 3: American League. They've had a nice season. They were aggressive 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: this winter and that shows you what being aggressive and 24 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: adding to your team during the winter can do. Yankees 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 3: added Juan Soto and not a whole lot else, But 26 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: should be an interesting series. I'm looking forward to it. 27 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: We've got Carlos Rodin on the mound tonight. He's fourteen 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 3: to nine with a four point one to nine ERA 29 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: on the season. And when I think about Carlos Rodin 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: and I think about him pitching in the playoffs, I 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 3: get nervous. I'm not gonna lie to you. I get nervous. 32 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 3: He's either gonna implode or he's going to pitch really well. 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: Right. 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 3: You know, if something goes wrong, you can see things 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: spiraling out of control, him barking at the umpires, him 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 3: giving up three home runs in a row, that type 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: of stuff. But you can also see him feeding off 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 3: of the crowd and just completely dominating. So it'll be 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 3: interesting to see what Carlos Rodin does in the postseason. Look, 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 3: I think every single one of us would have signed 41 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: up for fifteen or sixteen wins from Carlos Rodan, maybe 42 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: seventeen if he pitches well down the stretch here. The 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 3: era is a little bit higher than we want. That 44 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: has been hurt by a couple of really, really bad 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 3: first innings. There's been a couple of times this year 46 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: where he's gotten absolutely mauled in the first inning, and 47 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: it seems like he settles down once he gets his 48 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: pitch mix working. So we'll see how it shakes out tonight. 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: I'm feeling good about it. I like the way he 50 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: threw the ball the last few times out, so he 51 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 3: has not had a lot of luck. He deserved the 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: belt last time, but Clay Holmes kind of flushed that 53 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: one down the toilet. And then we've got Aaron Judge 54 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: who is homerless in twelve straight games. That is a 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 3: career high. He has not homer since he was on 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: that Paw Patrol show. So I don't know if there's 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: a connection there. Probably not, but Aaron Judge needs to 58 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: get it going. We need him down the stretch. I 59 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: love Aaron Judge as much as any fan can love 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 3: Aaron Judge, but let's be honest, he's kind of disappeared 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: during some of these most crucial games. So this is 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: a chance for him to turn it around and really 63 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: make a statement in his MVP bona fetus as he 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: takes on, you know, Bobby Witt and the Royals, this 65 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: series could go a little bit towards determining who wins 66 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: the MVP. If Bobby Witt has a big series and 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: the Royal sweep the Yankees, that's gonna stick in voters' 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: minds because there's that recency bias. It's right here at 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: the end of the season. So we're going to take 70 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: a few of your voicemails and then I will be 71 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: back after the game to go over everything that went 72 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: down and hopefully talk about a great start from Carlos 73 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: Rodin and maybe a couple of long balls from mister 74 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: Aaron Judge. Let's get to your voicemails. 75 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: Can know, Yach Steady, I cannot believe. 76 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: Well, let's do it. 77 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 2: I see Glabor's been knocking the crap out of the 78 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: ball as soon as he moved to lead off role, 79 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: and he really hasn't been hitting all year. So he's 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: finally hitting. We need more people on the team to 81 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: hit besides just Judge and Soto. So it's been it's 82 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: been nice. Jazz has been a nice fit. But the 83 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: problem and the question really comes to Glaber's defense is 84 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 2: just awful. He's I think it was like sixteen or 85 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: seventeen something insane amount of errors that he has. Now 86 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: they're costing our pitchers, more pitches, more stressful innings, costing 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: the team's runs, wins. What are we going to do 88 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: here when John Birdie comes back. It seems like it's 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: a wild little dilemma. You want to keep Glaber hitting, 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: but his defense just cannot play. It just cannot play. 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: I wanted to get your take in somebody else's opinion 92 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: on this, all right, man too. 93 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: Well, it's good that Glabra Torres is hitting, like you said, 94 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: but if the Yankees were going to do something about 95 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: his defense, they would have done it by now. It's 96 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 3: just awful. Seventeen errors and yesterday was a routine ground ball, 97 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 3: and he tried to turn the double play before he 98 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: got the ball. He was trying to position himself to 99 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 3: where he could backhand the ball, which was unnecessary. And 100 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: instead of you know, fielding it like a normal ground 101 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: ball and then doing a quick pivot to fire to 102 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: second base, he tried to cheat a little bit. He 103 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: tried to get the pivot started before he fielded the ball, 104 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: and then it bounced higher than he thought and it 105 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: hit him right in the kisser. As far as John 106 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: Birdie goes, I can't see the Yankees putting him at 107 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: second base over Labor Torus. He hasn't played much this season. 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 3: He's more naturally a third baseman, though he can play 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: some second base. He's been playing some outfield in the 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: minor leagues, which goes to this thing where the Yankees 111 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: are always just playing guys out of position. Even Jazz Chisholm, 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 3: I like what he's shown us at third base. He's 113 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: made a few errors, but I like what he's shown 114 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: us over there. But he's not a third baseman like 115 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 3: he's been a second baseman and a center fielder throughout 116 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: his career. So the Yankees are always kind of tweaking 117 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 3: with where guys are playing on the infield or you know, 118 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: on the on the diamond, in general, putting guys in 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 3: the outfield. Oswaldo Corbrera played the outfield a little bit 120 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: when he first came up, despite being an infielder in 121 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: the minor leagues. I don't know how John Birdy's going 122 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: to factor in. That's a really good question. I think 123 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: he's going to be back this week, and I think 124 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 3: they're going to try and get him some at bats 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 3: to see what he can do, because you know, he's 126 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: been a contact hitter in the past. I liked what 127 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 3: we saw from him before he got hurt, but he's 128 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: had some leg issues, so you just want to keep 129 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: him healthy and see if he can, you know, provide 130 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: you some base running ability. But I'm not sure where 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: you're going to get him at bats. Maybe in left field, 132 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 3: but that's going to tack people off because you won't 133 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: sit Verdugo for the Martian, your top prospect, but you'll 134 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 3: sit him for Bertie. You know, maybe Bertie should play 135 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: second pace a little bit late in the game and 136 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 3: then you have that speed element. But again, we don't 137 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: know how the Yankees plan to use him, and it'll 138 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: be interesting to see how that shakes out. But appreciate 139 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: the call. 140 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, it's a safe situation. 141 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 5: You know. 142 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: Back in the day, I used to really trust Casman 143 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 4: and making some good trades and making some quality roster moves. 144 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 4: I'm not sure at what point that I absolutely don't 145 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: trust him, but I certainly. 146 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 5: Don't trust him now. 147 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 4: Probably in the past three or four years, This is 148 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 4: the biggest reason why. Right now, let's say Soto does leave, 149 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 4: I think it should be called out because he is 150 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: the future, and I want a young player like that 151 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: to learn from Soto how he conducts his business consistently 152 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: every single day, and I think that's the biggest prime 153 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 4: at Cashman's committed. 154 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: And I believe it's worth. 155 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 5: One year of control. I want Dia mingas. 156 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: I want the Yankees to give their kids the best, 157 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: best education or whatever you want to call it. 158 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: Experience to succeed, and they're not doing it. 159 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 6: They're doing exactly the opposite. 160 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 4: And I'm very frustrated with Cashman in the way this 161 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: organization is treating prospects well. 162 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 3: I appreciate the call, and I agree with the sentiment. 163 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 3: The Yankees don't treat their prospects very well. Now, I 164 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: get it. You went out and you traded for Verdugo, 165 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 3: and you know he's a friend of Aaron Judge and 166 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: he's in his contract season, so it's, you know, not 167 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 3: the best for his future if you, you know, set 168 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: him down and call up a kid. But you have 169 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 3: to do what's best for the team and for the organization, 170 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 3: not only in the short term, but in the long term. 171 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 3: We saw a little bit of Dominguez and Soto basically 172 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 3: playing together and trying to form a bond during spring training. 173 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: And it was never a chance that Domingez would make 174 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 3: the team out of spring training because you know, he 175 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 3: was coming back from that elbow injury. But I was 176 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 3: really looking forward to, as you said, watching Dimingez learn 177 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: from Soto at the top of the lineup over the 178 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: final several weeks of the season. And it doesn't appear 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 3: like that's going to happen, and Dimingez continues to tear 180 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 3: the cover off the ball in triple A. I don't 181 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: have any stats in front of me to back this 182 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: up at the moment, but I'm sure they're out there. 183 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 3: But the Yankees have got to be one of the 184 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: worst at handling prospects in baseball. Other organizations let their 185 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 3: prospects play, they let their prospects develop, their prospects take 186 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: leaps forward and become really quality major league players. Yankees 187 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: prospects a lot of times they'll come up and they'll 188 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: hit a bunch of home runs right away, and then 189 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 3: they'll fizzle or something like that. You know, look at 190 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 3: even Ben Rice, you know he came up and he 191 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 3: was tearing the cover off the ball, and then he 192 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 3: couldn't make the adjustment and he was hitting one to 193 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: eighty when he got sent down. The Yankees got to 194 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 3: work on being better at managing their prospects. Quick word 195 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: from our sponsor and then I'll be back with more 196 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 3: of your voicemails. Congestion from sinuses, allergies, or a cold 197 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: can be all consuming. 198 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: That includes snoring for me. But Scotty, I found some 199 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: relief from Navage nasal care. You've got to try this. 200 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: Navage makes breathing easy easier. My Nevage unit is a 201 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: game changer for clearing my congestion fast. Yeah, Kratz. 202 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: Navaj uses that smooth saline flow and nasal suction to 203 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: clear those nasal passages. 204 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: It worked for me, Scotty. I've noticed a huge difference 205 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: since I started using Navage. I'm breathing better and the 206 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: whole family is pumped that I've got the snoring under control. 207 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 7: We want to help you get relief from your congestion too. 208 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 7: Our listeners can order a convenient Navage starter pack, including 209 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 7: a nose cleaner with batteries included and thirty original saltpods. 210 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 7: Everything you need to get started, plus get a cleaning 211 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 7: kit as a free gift with your order, but only 212 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 7: going to our exclusive U r L navage dot com 213 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 7: slash foul and using our promo code foul again to 214 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 7: order your nvage free cleaning kit and for a full 215 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 7: product details, go to na v A g E dot 216 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 7: com slash foul.

He'll probably improve. 230 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: Again next year. 231 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 4: I think we just got to be patient with him. 232 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: What do you think? 233 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: I think yesterday's discussion about Volpi kind of gave some 234 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 3: people the wrong impression that I don't want him to play. 235 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: I want Volpi to play. I think he's a great defender. 236 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 3: I think there's immense value in that. He's got a 237 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 3: war of about three, so he's an above average player 238 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 3: in the major leagues. He has improved on his batting average, 239 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: you know, about forty points this year, which is not 240 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 3: easy to do, but he's still striking out and flailing 241 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 3: too much. I just don't know if he's ever going 242 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 3: to become that stud offensive player that we had hoped for. 243 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 3: He might just end up being a bottom third of 244 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: the lineup kind of guy with a little bit of 245 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 3: speed and really good defense. And there's not a lot 246 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 3: wrong with that. He didn't have a lot of time 247 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: in the minor leagues. He kind of blazed through the 248 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 3: minor leagues, and so he's kind of learning at the 249 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 3: big league level. I would love to see him take 250 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: another huge step forward next year, but I'm not going 251 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: to count on it. I'm not going to put my 252 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: eggs in that basket right now. You got to think 253 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 3: of him as a seven, eight or nine hitter. Hope 254 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: that he can use his legs a little bit, pick 255 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: up the occasional extra base hit, hit the occasional home run, 256 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 3: and make the plays on defense. But I think any 257 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 3: illusions that we have about him being an All Star 258 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: or an MVP candidate like we had when he was 259 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 3: a prospect, are quickly slipping away. Now he might take 260 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: another huge step forward, but I'm not going to count 261 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: on it. If we get the player that he was 262 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: for the first two months of the season, that's an 263 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 3: extraordinary player, but he just hasn't shown the ability to 264 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 3: maintain it over the course of a full season yet. 265 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, a longtime listener here, been watching your videos 266 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 6: since twenty twenty, all the way back when you started, 267 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 6: and it was really bisn't nyy recaps. So congrats on 268 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 6: your new channel rebrand for Pin Strike Territory. The question 269 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 6: I want to ask today is regarding something that you 270 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 6: were talking about in the postgame show last night, regarding 271 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 6: who would be coming back of the free agents that 272 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 6: are leaving, Regarding Tommy Chaneley and Anthony Rizzo. Rizzo is 273 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 6: a great glove first first basement. Is that worthy of 274 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 6: the Yankees bringing him back in their mind be the 275 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 6: Nazil of defense for Kainlee. He's had a great year, 276 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 6: would be worth bringing him back on a one or 277 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:06,960 Speaker 6: two year deal? And would he take that? 278 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: Let's start with Tommy Kinley. I think he would come 279 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 3: back on a one or two year deal, probably one 280 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: year with an option. It's worth it, I think for 281 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: a lot of players to just stay put and not 282 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: have to move in the offseason, not to have to 283 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: uproot their family. He's comfortable in New York, and I 284 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: think you can get him at a similar price to 285 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 3: what you got this year. He's not going to want 286 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: a big raise or anything like that. Might get a 287 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 3: small raise, but I think Tommy Cainley could come back. 288 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: As far as Anthony Rizzo, his defense has been vastly overrated. 289 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: He's struggled a lot defensively this year before he went 290 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 3: down with that injury. He's been a little bit better 291 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 3: since he's come back, but offensively, he is not worth 292 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: the seventeen million dollars price tag that it's going to 293 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 3: be to bring him back with his option. Now, if 294 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: you're willing to get him to waive his option and 295 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 3: you bring him back for like two million dollars or 296 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 3: something like that to where it's you could just cut 297 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: him and it really doesn't affect your roster or your 298 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 3: payroll at all, then yeah, maybe, because you don't really 299 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: have another option out there. I still think I think 300 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 3: the Yankees should consider, and I know he's a great catcher. 301 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: Putting Austin Wells at first base so that he can 302 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 3: get more at bats. I don't think they're going to 303 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 3: do it, And there's also a lot of value for 304 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: him behind the dish. Pete Alonso's a free agent. If 305 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: the Yankees miss out on Juan Soto, who could possibly 306 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 3: go to the Mets, maybe the Yankees pick up Pete 307 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 3: Alonso to play first base. That would be interesting the 308 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: two teams basically swapping superstars. But bottom line, when I 309 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: released this top five Yankees who won't be back next year, 310 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: you can expect Anthony Rizzo to be on that list. 311 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 5: I haven't heard you say anything about the new Aliens movie. 312 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 5: I just wanted to if it was any good. Also, 313 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 5: don't really understand why Cabby can't give a break and 314 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 5: put him at third base. 315 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: So first of all, Alien Romulus fantastic, So it two 316 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 3: times with my buddy, really really enjoyed it. Oswaldough Cabrera 317 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 3: has played really well this year, like he's had some 318 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 3: really big moments. You see he's got six belts when 319 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: we do the belt countdown, so he's been huge. When 320 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 3: he's been in there, but he hasn't been getting a 321 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: lot of playing time, which I'm sure has cooled him 322 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 3: off a little bit. Offensively, he had been swinging the 323 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 3: bat better. I agree with you. I think he's done 324 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: a nice job. But right now, the third baseman is 325 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 3: Jazz Chisholm, So I mean, where are you gonna play him? 326 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: Maybe first base a little bit. Maybe he's somebody who 327 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 3: Yankees could consider for first base next year. But Cabrera 328 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 3: is a valuable player because he can play all over 329 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: the infield. He's a switch hitter, even though he's not 330 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: so good from the right side, got a little bit 331 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: of pop, and he's a fun guy. We're gonna get 332 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: to the no Stra Derek prediction right now, and then 333 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 3: I will be back after the game tonight for those 334 00:16:52,560 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 3: of you who are not watching the Jets game. All right, 335 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 3: Today's Nostra Derek prediction is that Carlos Rodin will throw 336 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 3: a hell of a game seven strikeouts tonight for Carlos Rodan, 337 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: and I think he's gonna have a really good outing. 338 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: He was really good last time out. He seems to 339 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: be streaky, so let's hope that he can maintain that 340 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 3: hot streak. And shove tonight against the Casey Royles. I'll 341 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 3: see after the game.
