1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: Wanted to pull a fipsol. 2 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,880 Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back everybody, Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. 3 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: Yankees kicking off a series tonight with the Seattle Mariners 4 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: as they finish off the West Coast swing. Honestly, if 5 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 2: it wasn't for the game starting at like ten o'clock 6 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: at night, I would love it when the Yankees played 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: safeg They always seemed to play well there. Aaron Judge 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 2: seems to mash there. It's one of my favorite ballparks. 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 2: And I remember when Aaron Judge hit one a couple 10 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: of years ago, I guess it was twenty seventeen, probably 11 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 2: where it broke stat cast. They he hit one that 12 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 2: looked like it was gonna leave planet Earth quite frankly, 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: and Ryan Ruco was doing the announcing and he was like, 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: oh my god, he just he was apoplectic at this 15 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: home run. It broke stat cast because they didn't have 16 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: a reading right away. Then the next day they said 17 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty eight feet or something like that. 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: And over the years, I've seen him hit a lot 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: of four hundred and fifty foot home runs. Most of 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: his home runs are flirting with four forty four point fifty. 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: This one I think was close to the four seventy five, 22 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: four eighty. I'm sure some of you remember it, But 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: do you guys remember that home run that Mark McGuire 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: hit in Seattle the old Kingdome against Randy Johnson. You 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: can find it on YouTube. There's a video of all 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 2: the five hundred plus foot home runs, and it went 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: five hundred and thirty eight feet is what they said. 28 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 2: It was peak steroid era Mark McGuire with the A's 29 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: versus peak Randy Johnson fastball. I don't know if the 30 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: radar was on the screen, but it had to be 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: close to one hundred miles an hour because that's what 32 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: Randy Johnson threw back then, and he obliterated it. And 33 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: I used to love games in the Kingdome too. I 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: know the Kingdome got a bad rap, but it was 35 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: kind of a launching pad, so you had a lot 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: of fun games there. I remember ten Omar Tinez hit 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: three home runs there in the second game of the 38 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: year one time ninety seven. But yeah, Seattle's playing pretty well. 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: I forgot that they had Randy rose Reno. When I 40 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 2: was doing my little scouting report. I was like, oh yeah, 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: I forgot about him. He just kind of disappeared from 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: the division and been out West doing his thing. That 43 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: guy gets under my skin, I mean the way he 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: You know, look, I love a little bit of flair, 45 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: but this guy every hit, it's like, oh, I'm the man, 46 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: you know. Anyway, So we have a fun series in 47 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: front of us. Let's talk about the pitching. So the 48 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: Yankees didn't announce their starters officially until you know, heye 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: a couple of hours ago, and we're gonna have Clark 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: Schmidt versus Emerson Hancock in Game one tonight. I thought 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: Clark Smitt has been throwing the ball a little bit 52 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: better the last couple of times. Max Freed versus Brian 53 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: Wu tomorrow, that's the marquee matchup of the series, if 54 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: you're asking me. And Will Warren versus Luis Castillo in 55 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: Game three, I think the Mariner have the edge there, 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 2: despite Warren pitching pretty well in his previous outing. So 57 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 2: tonight we're gonna face the former number six overall prospect 58 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: or number six overall pick in the draft, actually, Emerson Hancock. 59 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: So far in his big league career, he's only made 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: twenty starts. He has a four point nine zero cumulative era. 61 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: It's up to five point seven zero this year. Now, 62 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 2: the thing about him that you need to know is 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: that he creates soft contact, right. He has a low 64 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: exit velocity against, so you're gonna see a lot of 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: you know, soft ground balls and things like that. He 66 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: is a ground ball pitcher. He gets ground balls about 67 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: forty eight point seven percent of the time, which is 68 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: top twenty five percent in the league. And you know, 69 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: he throws mildly hard. Ninety four point three miles an 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: hour is his average fastball, but the sinker is his 71 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: go to go to pitch, uses that forty three point 72 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: six percent of the time, change up about a quarter 73 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 2: of the time twenty two percent, and the four seam 74 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: fastball about sixteen point six percent of the time. And 75 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: the Yankees just hunt fastballs, right, So you could see 76 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: this being a tough matchup despite his era. A lot 77 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: of times, the fastball and the sinker look very similar 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 2: if you do it right. You know, it's kind of 79 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: a two seam fastball, but the four seemer has a 80 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: slightly different spin. But the sinker is kind of like 81 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: a two steamer. But with the sinker ball is you 82 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: got to make them elevate. You got to get the ball, 83 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: you know, above the knees. Don't chase it if it's low. 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 2: If it starts low, let it go. You got to 85 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: let it get up to the belt or the thighs 86 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: if you're swinging. Otherwise it's probably going to be a 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 2: ground ball. So hopefully the Yankees make them elevate tonight. 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: Brian wu on the mound tomorrow. He is just an elite, 89 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 2: elite pitcher. If you look at his baseball savant page, 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: I'll show it right now. His savant is covered with red. 91 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: That's the wrong thing. Hang on, I've got multiple windows open. 92 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: That's why. 93 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: Yep. 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: Okay, So his baseball savant is covered in red. Pitching 95 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: run value ninety six percentile, fastball value ninetieth percentile, breaking 96 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 2: run value eighty eight percentile. He's expected eray is in 97 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: the eighty first percentile. I don't thrown a lot of 98 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: numbers at you, but he's really really good. Walk percentage 99 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: in the top ten percent of the league. He doesn't 100 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: get quite as many ground balls, but he also doesn't 101 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 2: allow you to hit the ball quite as hard seventy 102 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 2: first percentile in hard hit percentage and in exit velocity. 103 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 2: He's in the seventy fourth percentile, so top twenty five 104 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: percent of the league as a pitcher. For sure, He's 105 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: four and one with a three point two five ERA. 106 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,799 Speaker 2: You know, let's go back and look at Emerson Hancocks, 107 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: since I've got him pulled up too. You see, he's 108 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: a guy. Average exit velocity is terrific, hard hit percentage, 109 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: ground ball percentage, all really good. Doesn't get a lot 110 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: of swings and misses, but that's not what he's going for. 111 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 2: And then Luis Castile on Wednesday afternoon. You see, he's 112 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: not quite the stat cast darling that he once was 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 2: when he was with Cincinnati. There was a time when 114 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: the Yankees were on his trail as trying to trade 115 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: for him, and he ended up going to Seattle. Yankees 116 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 2: were unwilling to part with Anthony Volpey. I be interested 117 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: to hear what you guys think of that. You know, 118 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 2: a couple of years later, and when you look at 119 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: the lineup tonight, this is a very interesting lineup. You 120 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: see Jason Dominguez not in the lineup. He was gonna 121 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 2: be my original No. Stra Derek Pick. And then my 122 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: guy ray Fon Sega just texted me, he said, can 123 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: you believe Domingez is not in the lineup? And quite frankly, 124 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: I can't believe it. But that's the nature of this 125 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: outfield log jam. Every day, somebody's gonna sit. Trent Grisham 126 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: has been swinging the bat well. He is in center field. 127 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge, he's pretty good. He is in right field. 128 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: Ben Rice is your DH. I'll talk more about him 129 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: in just a minute. Paul Goldschmidt your number four hitter. 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: He is at first base, Cody Bellinger in left field. 131 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: He is batting fifth, Anthony Volpi batting sixth at shortstop, 132 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: Austin Wells behind the dish, and he replaces Dominguez. As 133 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: my nostra Derek prediction, I'll Waldo Cabrera playing third base 134 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 2: and Oswald Perrazza at second base. No yorb Vivas, no 135 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 2: Dj Lemayhew. I haven't heard anything about Dj Lemayhew yet, 136 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: but I'm keeping an eye on it. But interesting lineup, 137 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 2: to say the least. I'm surprised that they're sitting Domingas 138 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: after the series he had uh in Oakland or sorry, Sacramento. 139 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 2: You know, I managed to make it all the way 140 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: through the Oakland Series or the Sacramento Series. Alright, did 141 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: it again without messing up, and now we've done it twice. 142 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: All right, So let's take a look at the Yankees 143 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: ops leaders as of right now. You see Judge leading 144 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: at one point two seventy three. He is absolutely ridiculous. 145 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 2: Grisham at nine to seventy eight, Rice nine thirty seven, 146 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: even though he's been kind of slumping a little bit. 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: Take out the Grand Slam from the other day, gold 148 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: Schmidt eight ninety eight really good, and then kind of 149 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: the line of great in the major leagues is about 150 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: eight hundred seven fifty used to be league average. I'm 151 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: not sure exactly what the league average is right now, 152 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: but it's in the seven hundreds. Dominguez at seven ninety 153 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: one wells bout league average. I'd imagine seven forty six Volpi, 154 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: Bellinger and Cabrera all underneath Volpi at seven thirty eight, 155 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: Bellinger at six seventy five, and Cabrera six thirty. So 156 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 2: you know, we do have some pretty good OPS numbers, 157 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: but we're a little bit top heavy. Judge is basically 158 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 2: two Cabreras rolled into one, which is interesting. So my 159 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: players to watch for the series Judge, hitting four hundred 160 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: over his last ten games. He absolutely rakes in Safeco 161 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: in Seattle, seems to see the ball well. There's been 162 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 2: a lot of talk about the batting background the hitters 163 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: ie being a little bit I guess slanted or off center, 164 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: and I think I just accidentally turned on tracking with 165 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 2: my hand motion. I'm gonna turn that off. So that 166 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: doesn't make you guys carsick. But he just annihilates the 167 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: baseball and has no problem with the backdrop. Ben Rice 168 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: so over his last ten games, hitting just two twelve 169 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: with one home run and seven RBIs. Obviously, the Grand 170 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: Slam against Oakland was that home run, So in the 171 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 2: last ten games he's had a little bit of a downturn. 172 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Let's hope that he turns it around after that Grand Slam. 173 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt last ten games hitting three zho eight, so 174 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: it's actually dipped a little bit, but he does have 175 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: three home runs after not hitting one for a month, 176 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: He's hit three in the last ten games. And Jason Domingez, 177 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: even though he's sitting tonight, somebody to watch in this series, 178 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: hitting two eighty one with three home runs and seven 179 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: RBIs in the last ten games, and Zachary Bay says 180 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: Yogi Barra would be one hundred today. I'm thirty six 181 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 2: and I wish I could have seen him play me too, 182 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: my friend me too. Heard a lot of great stories 183 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: about Yogi. He was one of a kind. There's a 184 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: great documentary called I don't know if it's just called Yogi. 185 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: What's the Yogi Barrett documentary? Oh, it's called Ain't Over? 186 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 2: And I believe it's on Netflix. Maybe it's on Amazon Prime. 187 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 2: Let me just share the screen here. It is awesome. 188 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: It's about Yogi Bert. It's on Amazon Prime for two bucks. 189 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's streaming anywhere for free. It 190 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: looks like you can rent it at a bunch of places, 191 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: but Amazon two bucks. It's definitely worth the watch. 192 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: All right, This was I wish it. 193 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: My no Stra Derek prediction. Austin Wells going deep. You 194 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: know it was gonna be Dominga's. I needed a backup. 195 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: Austin Wells to me, has had some better swings lately. 196 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: He seems like he's kind of on the upswing after 197 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 2: kind of going up and down a little bit this year. 198 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: But he is my pick. Let's get your predictions. Noah says, 199 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 2: are they playing tonight, Yes, they're playing tonight. There the 200 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 2: game starts in under two hours. Come on, and it's 201 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 2: a dome, so it doesn't even matter if it rains. 202 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and get your predictions in the chat. 203 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: Steven Kanoff says, I'm going to the Yankees CKIs game 204 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: at Corps next week. I'm from New York, but we'll 205 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: be visiting Denver. A couple of years ago, the Yankees 206 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: lost a series in Colorado, and that was one of 207 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 2: the more painful series that we've had. I believe I 208 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 2: had a rant after that series, so you expect better 209 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: results this time. The Rockies last I checked, were six 210 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: and thirty three. They fired their manager. They're really, really, 211 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: really bad, So the Yankee should do some damage, should 212 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,559 Speaker 2: do some damage. All right, We're gonna go ahead and 213 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: get our sponsor from Harry's, and then we're back with 214 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: your reactions, your calls, and your predictions. In baseball, as 215 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: in life, it's all about having that extra edge, that 216 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: little extra half second of a swing, the late break 217 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: on a slider, or the grit to outlast year opponent 218 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: on a hot afternoon. Same goes for shaving Harry's gives 219 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: you the edge where it counts. I tried the five 220 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: dollars trial set, and honestly, it's like the ace of 221 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: my bathroom rotation. The handles weighted just right, the razor 222 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: is smooth, and the foaming shave gel lathers better than 223 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 2: anything I have used before. I keep my beard tight 224 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 2: around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation. Harry's handles it 225 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 2: with ease. Even the packaging is big league. And their 226 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 2: body wash, I've got the redwood set. It's like a 227 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: fresh cut field on opening day. Get the edge on 228 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: your shave with Harry's razors. Normally their trial set is 229 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 2: ten dollars, but right now you can get it for 230 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: just five dollars at Harry's dot com slash stripe. That's 231 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 2: Harry's dot Com slash stripe for a five dollar trial set. 232 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: All right, Hope you guys like that ad because we're 233 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 2: gonna be running it all week here on pinstripe Territory. 234 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: We'll be running it tonight, we'll be running it during 235 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: every game. Harry's is our official sponsor for the week, 236 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 2: So a shout out to Harry's Razors. Look, I use 237 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: my Harry's razors. Excuse me to shave my neckline, my jawline, 238 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: and it really is quite sharp, so be careful. But 239 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: it works great. So BTR five twenty says Aaron Judge 240 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 2: with excuse me, two hits tonight. If you guys can't tell, 241 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: I'm a little bit under the weather, I've been under 242 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: the weather for the last few days. Michael Vida says 243 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: DJ le me, who streaks through the infield during the 244 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: third inning. I hope not, man. We don't need to 245 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: see that. We don't need to be seeing that kind 246 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 2: of stuff. But look, I think this is gonna be 247 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: a really fun series. Good pitching matchups. Clark Schmidt I 248 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: think is due for a gem. Max Freed is always phenomenal. 249 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: And you know, Will Warren pitch pretty well last time out, 250 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 2: so you know, we'll see if he can continue that momentum. 251 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 2: LORI sees his Vopie and wells with bomb tonight. We 252 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: don't get a lot of predictions for Volpee hitting bombs. 253 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: I don't know why fans are so sour on him. 254 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: I mean, he's having a decent year, isn't His batting 255 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: average isn't great. Let's pull up his stats. But he's 256 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: been a positive player this year. I mean, has he 257 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: become Derek Jeter? No, But I mean Jeter was basically 258 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: almost a first ballot Hall of Famer or almost a 259 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: unanimous Hall of Heamer, was a first ballot Hall of Famer. 260 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: I mean, to compare him to Jeter is a little 261 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 2: bit unfair. But let's look at his numbers so far 262 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 2: to see he's above average in batting run value. He's 263 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: above average and base running value, fielding run value. He's 264 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: actually taking a step back this year forty eight percent 265 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 2: stile you look at a spray chart, I mean he's 266 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: hitting the ball line to line with power, and I'm 267 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: seeing a lot of bass hits this year, scattered up 268 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 2: the middle. So he's doing things lately that we want 269 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 2: him to do. The average is up to two thirty six, 270 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: the on base percentage is at three twenty one. He's 271 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: got five home runs, he's got six stolen bases. Would 272 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: we like him to be a three to twenty hitter 273 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 2: with thirty five forty stolen bases and fifteen twenty home 274 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 2: runs in great defense? Sure, that's the player archetype he's 275 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 2: going for. But it's not easy. It is not easy. 276 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: And you know, I don't hold it against him, but 277 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: you know, former first round draft pick. You know, the 278 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: Yankees are starting three first round draft picks in their 279 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 2: lineup tonight, Austin Wells, actually four if you if you 280 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: count Clark Schmidt. He might have been a compensation pick. 281 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: But you got Schmidt, you got Aaron Judge, Austin Wells, 282 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 2: and Anthony Volpi. So Michael Vita says, okay, bat and 283 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: sparkling defense. I'm okay with it. And see t Card 284 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: says we're going streaking. We'll take that. We need a 285 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: win streak. We haven't had one in a while. This 286 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: Yankees team, it seems like it's like one step forward, 287 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: two steps backwards lately, and I'm just not digging that, okay. 288 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: So we got four voicemails if. 289 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: By Derek Steve Collin for Farmington Derek. There was an 290 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: old song. You may have heard it in the oldiest 291 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: stations as goes something like this, I'm in with the 292 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: in crowd. I don't know the Unichies have an in crowd, 293 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 1: and unfortunately both Lemayhe and Stanton are in that crowd. 294 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: What am I getting at? I'm afraid they're gonna play 295 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: him no matter what Boone is. Traditionally, he relies and 296 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: he's he's a true blue to his veterans, regardless of 297 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: how well they do. So that's my concern. 298 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: Okay, that's it. 299 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: Appreciate the call. So I want to give Stanton a 300 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: chance when he comes back. I mean, we saw how 301 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: great he was in the postseason. He's gonna be using 302 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: the torpedo bat. I want to I want to see, 303 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 2: if you know, he can provide a little bit more 304 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: right handed pop on this team. We're a little bit 305 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 2: too left handed right now, which is weird because in 306 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 2: recent years we haven't been left handed enough. Le Mayhew. 307 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 2: I think he'll get a short leash, I really do. 308 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 2: I mean they were apparently ready to DFA him last 309 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: year until Aaron Judge stepped in. By the way, Aaron 310 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: Judge that mug. I just ordered that for myself. You've 311 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 2: got to check that out. It came out beautiful. You 312 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: can get it on Nyy Designs Dot shop. But I 313 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: agree with Laurie who says this is DJ's last chance. Yeah, 314 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: if he comes around and hits you know, one eighty 315 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: for the first couple of weeks, he's gonna find himself. 316 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 2: Dfaied and look, I like what we've seen from Orbit 317 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 2: Vivas too, so I'm hesitant to sit him on the 318 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: bench or send him down in the minor leagues. Pablo 319 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: reyes Uh is probably on the bubble when Lemayhew comes back. 320 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 2: We've got another call here about DJ. 321 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek Marcia from Long Island here, Maurbrissa really not 322 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 4: looking forward to DJ and Mayhew's coming back. I just 323 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: think he's, like, you know, right at the end of 324 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: his career. You know, he he's just an automatic. Oh, 325 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 4: he doesn't have that much mobility or range. So to 326 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 4: think that when he comes back, hopefully not an intent too, 327 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: but to put him in like second base, like a 328 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 4: middle end field, he's not going to have the range 329 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 4: to you know, die for balls or chase some you know, 330 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 4: in a right field. You know. I just think he 331 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 4: just needs to, uh realize that he's washed. 332 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 2: I think Martha's given DJ retirement advice here. I'm curious 333 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 2: to see what his mobility is going to be. I 334 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: think it's very interesting that they're playing him at second 335 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 2: base because in recent years his feet and his legs 336 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: have had all sorts of issues and it's much more 337 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: of a footwork intensive position. To play second base, you 338 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: got to go around the bag. You got guys slide 339 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: in India. Third base it's I mean, it's the hot corner, 340 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 2: so the ball gets on you quick. As long as 341 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: you got quick reflexes and good hands, which I think 342 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: he still does, you can play third base. And he's 343 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: played a lot of first base. Obviously, we don't need 344 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 2: that this year. They're looking for him to fill in 345 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: it second and be vintage DJ. We'll see how it 346 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: works out. 347 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 5: Hey, Derek down in North Carolina. Hey, Raphael Devers seems 348 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 5: like some trouble in Boston, and he doesn't have a 349 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 5: no trade clause. So hey, we're having fun here, not 350 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 5: saying there's a world where it happens, or maybe that 351 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 5: we wanted to happen based on his fielding ability. But 352 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 5: dude can rake and he's a cold boogeyman. Right, So 353 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 5: let's say cash checks in Boston, says Lombard Junior Schmidt. 354 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 5: Maybe some cash you got them? Do you do that deal? 355 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 4: All right? 356 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 3: Thanks man. 357 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any scenario in which Raphaeld Devers 358 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: gets traded to the Yankees. Also, he's shown himself to 359 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 2: be kind of a unwilling to budge kind of player. 360 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: I don't want to call him selfish. I mean, I 361 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: don't think he's done anything too wrong. The Red Sox 362 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 2: have tried to change his position a couple of times, 363 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: but he certainly hasn't taken a team first attitude. Yeah, 364 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: he's a great hitter. I don't want any part of 365 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: that contract. We got enough long ass contracts that are 366 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: not going to age well. So yeah, I mean, I 367 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 2: just don't see any scenario where that happens. I could 368 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: see him getting traded, but I would imagine he gets 369 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 2: traded somewhere out of the division. 370 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: How's it going, buddy, so I was just watching Foul 371 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: Territory and they were talking about how the should trade 372 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 3: all schemes, and of a Yankee fan, I am here 373 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 3: for that. 374 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 4: Bill. 375 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on what the Yankee would have 376 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 3: to give up for Paul Skans. I'm all in for 377 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 3: trading both hof Walds, of Lodo Nhalds, Devin Williams, Spencer Jones, 378 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 3: Marcus Stromans when you get out from him and any 379 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 3: other prospect that they want from US. I like top 380 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: five over the third basements. I really like him. 381 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: Okay, so you want the best pitcher in baseball, but 382 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: you want to give them a bunch of our junk 383 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 2: and not our top prospect. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's 384 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: a bad take. There's just no way that that trade 385 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: would ever happen. I don't think that the Pirates will 386 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: trade Paul Skins in the first place, but if they did, 387 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: price would be a hell of a lot more than 388 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: our old junk. BC always coming in here and just saying, 389 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 2: go Dodgers, do you have anything else to contribute? I mean, 390 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: come on, you don't need to rub our faces in it. 391 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 2: We get it, you won. Whatever, But we'll be back. 392 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 2: We'll be back, and I'll be back after the game tonight. 393 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: Tune in if you're still awake.
