1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: He wanted to pull up cat roll.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: What's up Everybody? Tuesday, June tenth, twenty twenty five, which

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: means it's time for our annual summer slump if you're

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: a Yankee fan. We'll talk about how the Yankees can

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: avoid that in just a few minutes. In this pregame,

6
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: we're gonna cover a few things. We're gonna talk about

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: the lineup in a second, and we're gonna talk about

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: John Carlos stan who is taking rehab at bats tonight

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: in Somerset. That game kicks off in about thirty six minutes,

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,879
Speaker 2: and I have confirmed that John Carlos Stanton is using

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: a torpedo bat, so I'm gonna be very interested to

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: see how that works out. I'd expect to see him

13
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: in Fenway this weekend. He's been taking a lot of

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: batting practice, a lot of live at bats in Tampa.

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna want to do a long

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: rehab assignment in Summerset. I'd imagine he'll be there for

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: a couple of days, get you know, acclimated to be

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: in back in an actual lineup, and then Friday right

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 2: back up there in Boston, where he hits well and

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: it would be great to see him burst back onto

21
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 2: the scene with a couple of shots off the monster,

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: over the monster. Wherever he wants to hit him, just

23
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: make contact. I want to see that torpedo bat. I

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: want to see it coming one twenty five off the

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: bat off of John Carlo Stanton's bat. Anyway, I feel

26
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: pretty good about tonight's game. We got Max Freed on

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: the mound. Let's take a look at the lineup for

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: the evening. So we've got Paul Goldschmidt in there at

29
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 2: first base. Excuse me, Trent Grisham is playing center field tonight.

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge the d H tonight. Ben Rice gets the

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: night off, and he's probably gonna be getting a lot

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: more nights off with Stanton coming back. Let's prepare ourselves

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: for that. I've seen a lot of posts about how

34
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: unlucky he's been over the last few days. I mean,

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: it's like the people are starting to finally wake up

36
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: to how good this guy is and how unlucky he's been.

37
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: There was a montage, but I want to say it

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: was like the Yankee Report or Everything Yankees or something

39
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: on Instagram where it was just like line drive caught

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: line drive. It was just a montage of like his

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 2: hardest hit balls that were caught anyway. No, Ben Rice Tonight,

42
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger in right field Tonight's spacious right field in

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Kaufman Stadium, Anthony Volpi, who right around this time last

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: year began his decline. Let's hope that he can go

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: in the other direction this year. I mean, he's gotten

46
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: off to a decent start, but I think there's more

47
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: in the tank. I really do. He's got a lot

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: of talent that he has not tapped into. Jazz Chisholm

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 2: in there at third base tonight, and Jason Domingez out

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 2: there in left field. He's gonna see some tough left

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: handed pitching in this series and is on him to

52
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 2: actually get the job done. Now. I am about as

53
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 2: big a Jason Dominguez supporter and stan as you can be.

54
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 2: I think most of you would recognize, if you've been

55
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: around on this channel, that I've been a supporter of

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: his since day one, since before day one, since before

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 2: he even made his professional debut. And even I recognize

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: that his right handed struggles are immense, immense, and he

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: has got some work to do to figure it out.

60
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: DJ Lemayhew in there at second base tonight and Austin

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: Wells behind the dish. He will be catching Max Freed.

62
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: This game is on both Yes Network and on TBS,

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: and we're beginning at seven to forty tonight, so about

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: an hour and forty minutes from game time. But this

65
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: is a rematch of the American League Division Series, which

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: the Yankees won in four games. It was actually a

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: lot closer series than people realize. I mean, without Stanton

68
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: hitting all those home runs, I mean, it's a it

69
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: was a tough, tough slog for the Yankees. So let's

70
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: talk about Big G. What can we expect from him?

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: Assume all goes well in his rehab, which, let's be honest,

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: is not a sure thing. It's never been a sure thing.

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Last night during the live stream, we saw some comments

74
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: giving Stanton a little bit of a hard time, And

75
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: I get it. The guy's been on the injured list,

76
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: you know, for an enormous percentage of his Yankees career.

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: But seeing what he did for us in the postseason

78
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: last year and the way he has come through clutch

79
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: time and time again, I'm giving him the benefit of

80
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: the doubt. You know, I think that we expected more

81
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: from him coming to the Yankees after that MVP season.

82
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: It's a classic case of buying high, right, I mean,

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: we bought high, and now we're struggling with the decline

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: of a guy on a big contract. And it's something

85
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: that you always worry about. You always when you hand

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: out a big contract or you acquire a big contract,

87
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: you worry about the later end of that deal. It

88
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 2: happened with the Shaa, it happened with a Rod, It

89
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: happens with everybody, even Apple. With Jeter, last couple of

90
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: years were not great, but you know, he's a guy

91
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 2: that brings power and power a lot of times is

92
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: the last thing to go, kind of like a boxer, right,

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: I mean, you can still connect for that knockout blow

94
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: once in a while, and we saw it in the postseason.

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: But you wonder if the two tennis elbows, if that

96
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: is sort of the beginning of the end. We also

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: heard about a chronic cap injury. We've known for a

98
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: while that he's had leg injuries. I mean, we always

99
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: make the joke, but Lieutenant Day and you ain't got

100
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: no legs, Well, it's time for him to just say

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: forget about running. Forget about playing the outfield. Let's just

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: mash home runs. I mean, that's what we want. Let's

103
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: get him to destroy left handed pitching. Do your best

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: against righty's. He's one of these guys that likes to

105
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: hit off the traject machine. If you don't know what

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: the traject machine is, it's basically as close as you

107
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: can get to like a holid deck of pitching. Right.

108
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: It's they got realistic versions of the pitchers delivery and footage,

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: and then realistic spin rates and pitch types. These machines

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: cost like a quarter million dollars apiece, and you know,

111
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: it's a shame I didn't invent it. But I've heard

112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: some people talk about it on foul Territory and they

113
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: basically say that it's not exactly like the real thing.

114
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: It's similar, it's close. It definitely helps, but it's not

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: the same thing. Right, So that's one of the reasons

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: I think why he's going to take some you know,

117
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: real BP today against actual hit ICONVP. It really will

118
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: be bb against minor league hitters, We'll see. I'm gonna

119
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: follow his bats on MiLB dot com. But you know,

120
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: with the elbow injuries, he apparently was feeling it down

121
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: the stretch last year. I'm surprised that they didn't do

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: anything about it after the season. You know, they didn't

123
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: do anything about it this winter. He came back to

124
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: spring training and need a treatment right away. He ended

125
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: up getting a bunch of PRP injections. I think he

126
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 2: had four or five rounds of PRP injections platelet rich plasma.

127
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: I can't tell you exactly what that means because I'm

128
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: not a doctor. I'm not a scientist, but apparently up

129
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: she heel, you know, he was able to avoid surgery.

130
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: At this point in his career. I think he's more

131
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: of a threat than an actual impact. You know, he

132
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 2: goes on those tears where he goes crazy and you

133
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 2: just hope he does it in the postseason. Maybe does

134
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: it a couple of times during the regular season to

135
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: buy you some wins. But he's below a one war

136
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,559
Speaker 2: pretty much every year now, so don't expect huge things.

137
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: I can imagine him having a little bit more success

138
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: with a torpedo bat if he's comfortable with it, and

139
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: that might be why he's taken so many reps. But anyway,

140
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: let me know in the comments what you think the

141
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: Yankees will do with the whole Stanton ben Rice situation.

142
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: Now that Stanton's coming back, all I know is it's

143
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: going to be difficult for ben Rice to get the

144
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: bats that I feel like he's earned since coming back.

145
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's talk about the elephant in the room,

146
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: and that is it's summertime, and the Yankees have played

147
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: below five hundred ball in each of the last two

148
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Julys in June. In June of twenty four they went

149
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: fourteen and thirteen, and then in July they went eleven

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: and thirteen, And then in twenty twenty three they went

151
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 2: eleven and twelve in June and ten and fifteen in July.

152
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: So the last two years they've had bad years are

153
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: bad summers. Two straight years of under five hundred baseball

154
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: in July. Think about that. Think about that. That's when

155
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: contenders was supposed to separate themselves from the pretenders. That's

156
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: the time when the Yankees used to do their most damage.

157
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: Remember these to always get off the slow starts, and

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: then they did all those home runs when the weather

159
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: heated up. Well, the last couple of years, they've been

160
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: taking a collective siesta, and I'm tired of watching it.

161
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: And here's the part that gets me. Here's what Aaron

162
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: Boone says every single time, right there in front of us. Yes, Aarin,

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: it is right there in front of you. This time,

164
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: it's for real, in front of you. This is the time,

165
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: not in September when you're trying to frantically put the

166
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: pieces back together to get a playoff push together. Now

167
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: is the time to strap on your PF flyers to

168
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: you know, you know, like Benny the jet. You know,

169
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 2: now is the time to avoid a slump. It's way

170
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 2: easier to avoid a slump than to pull yourselves out

171
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: of one. This team has proven that they don't respond

172
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: to Boone when they're in a slump, right, So I

173
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 2: get it. Guys are tired. The schedule is a grind.

174
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: The dog days of summer are brutal. Everybody is banged up.

175
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: But guess what, Every team is playing in the same climate. Now.

176
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: I know some team's got domes, but nobody's playing in Antarctica, right,

177
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: Nobody gets arrest bit completely from the heat. And this

178
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: is where leadership matters. Aaron Boone has not exactly shown

179
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: he can steer the ship when it starts taking on water.

180
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: This hole it's right there in front of us. Approach

181
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: is not gonna cut it. It's not about hope, it's

182
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: a adjustment. It's about having some urgency. And that's what

183
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: I want to see this team do this year is

184
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: have some urgency. Keep the foot on the gas. Now,

185
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: there are some reasons to be optimistic. Austin Wells tends

186
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: to heat up this time of year. The Martian look

187
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: at his minor league splits. The guy is a fucking

188
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 2: solar panel. He loves the sun. But let's be real.

189
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Volpi has a habit of turning into a pumpkin

190
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: in June. He did it last year. He was sitting

191
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 2: close to three hundred, then bam fell off a cliff,

192
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: and with the ball flying in the summer heat, you'd

193
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 2: better expect Aaron Judge is gonna get walked, because if

194
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: he doesn't, he's gonna go on a home run barrage.

195
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: But let's not kid ourselves. He needs protection in the lineup.

196
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: We need Bellinger to keep swinging the bat, to pick

197
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: it up a little bit when he Goldschmid to get

198
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 2: hot again, and the bullpen please just be better. I

199
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 2: don't have any more advice than that. Just be better

200
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: than they have been. Beat the heat, play with urgency,

201
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: and forget about. It's right there in front of us,

202
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: here in front of us, because the only thing worse

203
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: than a July slump is pretending that it's just bad

204
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: luck when it happens a third year in a row.

205
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: That's what's right there in front of us, all right.

206
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: So left handed pitcher Tonight on the mound for Casey

207
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 2: Noah Cameron against the lefty for the Yankees, Max Freed. Now,

208
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: Noah Cameron stuff is elite. I mean, he's twenty five

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: years old, he's out of Central Arkansas. He's two and one.

210
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: He's got a sub one ERA so far. Doesn't throw

211
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: hard ninety one miles an hour ninety one point seven

212
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: average velocity, but he keeps the ball off the barrel

213
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: of the bat. He's basically a younger version of Ryan

214
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 2: Yarborough and he's been pitching great. He's been pitching fantastic.

215
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: Doesn't strike out a lot of guys, but he can

216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: be extremely, extremely tough. He is the number five MLB

217
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: pipeline rank for the Royals. He is a very very

218
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: good young pitcher and you just look at his his numbers.

219
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they're phenomenal across the board, fastball, change up, cutter, curveball.

220
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: So he's gonna try and fade that change up away

221
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: from riders and write he's and he's gonna try and

222
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: throw that cutter in on the hands. That's all we're

223
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: gonna see from him tonight. It is not a mystery.

224
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

225
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: We got Max Freed eight and one, one point seven

226
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: eight ERA been completely dominating this year. Chris Bubach tomorrow

227
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: five and three. He's a tough lefty one point four

228
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: to three ERA. I'm gonna pull up his numbers two

229
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: because he is pitching out of his mind right now.

230
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 2: Look at his stat cast numbers. They're insane. He is

231
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: right across the board. So this is not some kind

232
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: of like a Fluke anomaly. He's another guy who doesn't

233
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: throw very hard, ninety two point four miles an hour.

234
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: He's basically pitching like Nester Cortes did a couple of

235
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: years ago when he was so dominant. Four seamer, sweeper, change, slider, sinker,

236
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: five pitch mix, and he's gonna use it all and

237
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 2: he read strikeouts. So last year he had thirty nine

238
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: strikeouts and thirty and the third innings this year seventy

239
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: five innings, seventy nine strikeouts, and a one whip. I

240
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: gotta say, do not like our chances against Tim tomorrow.

241
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 2: Do not like our chances at all. I think Yankees'

242
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 2: best chance in this series might be tonight, and the

243
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: guy that they're facing as a sub one area. It

244
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: tells you this is one of those series where you

245
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: gotta be careful. You can't just say, hey, this is

246
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: the Royals in Game three, the throne Seth Lugo, who

247
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: we saw shut the Yankees down last year. They have

248
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: got to be on their game this entire series. Let's

249
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: talk about who's hot who's not.

250
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: So.

251
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge obviously hitting back up four hundred average in

252
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 2: his last ten games. If you remember the previous time

253
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: we did one of these, he was hitting three thirty

254
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: three over his previous ten games. So he's picked it

255
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: back up. He's hovering around. I think he's at three

256
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: ninety six for the year. He's got five home runs

257
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: in the last ten games, eight RBIs eleven runs scored.

258
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: You'd love to see him drive more runs tonight. We

259
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 2: got a couple of guys hitting in front of him

260
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 2: who need to get on base, Trent Grisham, and oh,

261
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: who's leading off Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmith typically hits lefties, so

262
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: it might be a good night. You get those first

263
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: two guys on. Maybe Judge does some damage. Austin Well's

264
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: last ten games. I know the two seventy three isn't

265
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: a sexy number, but two home runs six RBIs. He's

266
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: been looking better, he's been hitting the ball harder. And

267
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: then Jass Chishm last ten games three thirty three, two

268
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: home runs, nine RBIs. He is looking phenomenal since coming back,

269
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: and I expect him to have a good series. Who's

270
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: not Jason Dominguez last ten games just two twenty six,

271
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: has not gone deep and has three RBIs, So maybe

272
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: he's due for his you know, summer resurgence. We'll see,

273
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: but you know, got to do a better job against

274
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: left handed pitching. Maybe he needs to work with you know,

275
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: Lemayhew and gold Schmidt maybe needs to work with those

276
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: guys on a swing path. Maybe it's just it's just

277
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 2: putting in more work. Billis my prediction. Tonight Paul Goldschmidt

278
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: will go deep. We know that he crushes lefties and

279
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: we got a lefty on the mound tonight. Leave your

280
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: comments with predictions in the chat. We got a couple

281
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: of comments here that Yankees guy says the Yankees are

282
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 2: going to screw up the development of Ben Rice if

283
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: they don't get him regular at bets. That is absolutely

284
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: a thing the Yankee should be worried about. He says

285
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: he doesn't want Stanton back. Nobody's gonna take his contract though,

286
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: and he's not going to even accept the trade. If

287
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: you tried to right Turbo CJM or JCM excuse me

288
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: has the opposite take. He says, Stanton has earned our patients.

289
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: I agree with that. The way he played in the

290
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 2: postseason last year, he earned my He earned my gratitude

291
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: and my patients. Quick word from our sponsor, Harry's, and

292
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: then back we got a voiceman will take your final

293
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: comments and predictions. In baseball, as in life, it's all

294
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: about having that extra edge, that little extra half second

295
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: of a swing, the late break on a slider, or

296
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: the grit to outlast your opponent on a hot afternoon.

297
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: Same goes for shaving. Harry's gives you the edge where

298
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: it counts. I tried the five dollars trial set, and honestly,

299
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: it's like the ace of my bathroom rotation. The handles

300
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: weighted just right, the razor is smooth, and the foaming

301
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: shavegel lathers better than anything I have used before. I

302
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: keep my beard tight around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation.

303
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: Harry's handles it with ease. Even the packaging is big league,

304
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 2: and their body wash. I've got the Redwood set. It's

305
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: like a fresh cut field on opening day. Get the

306
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: edge on your shave with Harry's razors. Normally the trial

310
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: trial set. All right, So we got a quick voicemail

311
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 2: here from Tabor Talk.

312
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: Hey, Derek Taber talk from the Cat Skills tough theories,

313
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: losing two out of three to the Red Sox. But anyway,

314
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about Austin Wells. It's interesting how

315
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: TK said on Friday. By the way, I love TK,

316
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: Always always enjoyed tk's appearances, but I think he's totally

317
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: wrong with Austin Wells, Like Austin Wells has been a disappointment.

318
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, really Friday two for four and by Way

319
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: coming in on Friday nine home runs, thirty two ribby. Yeah,

320
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: the average is low two o nine, but the opes

321
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: it's not terrible, seven oh nine. And then he went,

322
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, he went two for four on Friday. Saturday

323
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: had that great games. He went two for four with

324
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: a home run for RBIs and then for some reason,

325
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: I guess he didn't play a Sunday a Scara was catching.

326
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: So uh, I mean, come up, Austin Wells. I'm not

327
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: disappointed in Austin Wells. I think he's been fine. Yes,

328
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: the average a little low, but I think he's been great.

329
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: So Ck is wrong, that's just mic case. And all right,

330
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: we got it. You gotta get ready for the Kansas

331
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: City Royals seven tonight.

332
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: Appreciate the call, Tavor talk. So yeah, I mean, I

333
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't say that I'm disappointed. Well, maybe I would say it.

334
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: Maybe I have said that in Austin Wells. The more

335
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: I think about it, I did. I did expect more.

336
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: I expected more, you know, closer to what uh what

337
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: Ben Rice has done, you know. But I mean to

338
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 2: be fair, it's difficult to catch and hit. It's difficult

339
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 2: to put up huge offensive numbers as a catcher. Gregory

340
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: Wayne's hays can't hate on Wells. He's gonna heat up.

341
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: Let's hope he does. Mark Standrus is feeling a low

342
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: scoring game tonight, thinking that favors KC. We'll see, we'll see.

343
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: And Gregory Wayne is predicting. And Austin Wells bombed tonight.

344
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: I'll get on board with that. I'll get on board

345
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: with that. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Let's hope the

346
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 2: Yankees can avoid the June swoon and get off to

347
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: a good start on this road trip. You got three

348
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: in Casey, then you got three in Boston, and then

349
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: you got the Angels in Yankee Stadium for four, and

350
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: then the Baltimore Orioles. So if you get through these

351
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: six games, I say, if you go four and two, right,

352
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: you go four and two. You put yourself in a

353
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 2: great position against the Angels and Orioles, and then you

354
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,360
Speaker 2: take on the Reds, who are not great, but that's

355
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: on the road, and then the Athletics at home. You know,

356
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,719
Speaker 2: June shouldn't be as tough this year as it has been. Obviously,

357
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 2: we got off to a tough start, but I like

358
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 2: our chances to if we can get through this stretch

359
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: here of Casey and Boston, I like our chances to

360
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: avoid the swoon this year. All right, ladies and gentlemen,

361
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 2: I'll see you after the game. Catch it. If you
