1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Ladies and juggle to me.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: Welcome here, s.

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 3: All right, Welcome back everybody.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 4: Today is Friday, August twenty third, and we're getting some

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 4: good news today. Jazz Chisholm is back ahead of schedule.

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 3: Now.

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 4: Chisholm got off to an amazing start with the Yankees,

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 4: seven quick home runs right out of the box. He

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 4: was diving into home plate and he kind of ran

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 4: into the catcher with his left arm and he had

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 4: a strain of the UCL. The doctors recommended a little

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: bit of rest and rehab. From what I've heard, he

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: hasn't had much rest. He's been working out on the side.

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 4: He's been taking ground balls, he's been taking some swings. Now,

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 4: luckily it's the left arm, so it's not the throwing arm.

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: It's not going to affect his throes from third base.

17
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 4: The only thing that I could see it really affecting

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: is those head first dives, and maybe he could just

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 4: avoid those for a while. We're about a week out

20
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 4: from the rosters expanding, and it's worth noting that Jason

21
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: Dominguez has caught fire in Triple A. He's hitting four

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 4: to twenty three since being sent back down, and it

23
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 4: sounds like he's going to be called up now, the

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 4: question remains how much playing time is he going to get.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: The Yankees are notorious for not giving their young players

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 4: enough playing time when they get called up. They already

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 4: sent Oswald Perrazza back down despite him playing pretty well

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 4: during that brief time that he was called up to

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 4: replace Jazz. He was obviously sent down now that Jazz

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 4: is coming back. But you know, I Verdugo hasn't shown

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 4: us much in the last couple of months, and I

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: think that if he doesn't hit over the next week,

33
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 4: Dominguez should be given the opportunity to win that job.

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: As we head into the playoffs.

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: Look a switch hitter at the top of the lineup

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: with speed and power, a young guy who's part of

37
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: your future, who could inject some life into the team,

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: and notably, a guy who has kind of a slow heartbeat,

39
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: as they say, could do well in the playoffs. Would

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 4: much rather have that out there than a guy who's

41
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: hitting about two to twenty for the last couple of months.

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 4: So we'll see you after the game tonight. I got

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: Terrence joining for the post game, and we'll see you then.

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 4: But let's get to your voicemails.

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: Can know York Steady, I cannot believe at the bull

46
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Let's do it, hey, Derek, Yeah, this is Blob.

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 5: I like your playoff roster that you've come up with.

48
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 6: I would love to.

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 5: See something like Proz a third Cabra at first, and

50
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 5: like you said, maybe one or two of the stars

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: in the bullpen, maybe even one of them in a

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 5: closers role. So let's keep our fingers crossed. Hopefully a

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: couple of guys come back healthy and we make a

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: good run in September October.

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 4: Every year, it seems most playoff teams will put a

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: couple of starting pitchers, if not one, maybe two in

57
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: the bullpen for the playoff run.

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: Now, the Yankees have some guys who they.

59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: Could get some real length out of if you put

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: him in that fifth inning, you know, middle relief role.

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: Nestor Cortez I think works perfectly. He's a lefty. The

62
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: Yankees are kind of short on lefties. If they happen

63
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 4: to have home field advantage in the playoffs. Nester pitch

64
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: is better at home, So maybe you start Louise Heel

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: and he goes four innings, and then you go to

66
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: Nestor for the fifth, sixth, seventh, something like that. Even

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 4: Marcus Stroman, you start him, he goes four innings. You

68
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: don't need to get as much length out of pitchers.

69
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: In the playoffs, you have more off days, so you

70
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: can use the bullpen a little bit more. We do

71
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: have some arms coming back in the bullpen. I can

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: also see Louis Heel going to the pen and you know,

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: being quite dominant. But the thing that scares me about

74
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: Louise Heel is the walks Nestor at least throws strikes.

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: He is a guy who has elite.

76
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: Command, and so I trust him completely pitching in whatever

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: role he's in, to throw strikes.

78
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: As far as Louis Heel goes.

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: He has potential to be a dominant starting pitcher, but

80
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: he also has those days where he doesn't go very

81
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: deep and he struggles and his command is erratic. I

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: think you start Luise Heel and hope that he gives

83
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: you a great dominating outing, but you have someone ready

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: to go in the bullpen behind him who can give

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: you some length, whether it's nestor Cortez. I mean it

86
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 4: could possibly be Marcus Stroman. I kind of like Stroman

87
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: as a starter, even though he's had some ups and

88
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 4: downs this year. I think he's the type of guy

89
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: that would capitalize on the playoff vibes at Yankee Stadium.

90
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 4: So it'll be interesting to see how the Yankees set

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 4: up their pitching and their bullpen. They're starting pitching and

92
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 4: their bullpen as we head to the playoffs. I'm honestly

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 4: much more concerned about the end of the game than

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: I am the beginning of the game, because the back

95
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: end of the bullpen has been trash.

96
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 6: Hey, do you think the Yankees will continue to use

97
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 6: Clay Holmes as the closer in the playoffs.

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 4: There's been a lot of talk lately about closer by right,

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: and there's this old cliche in baseball that if everybody's

100
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: your closer, you don't have a closer. And I think

101
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 4: it's pretty clear that the Yankees don't have a traditional closer.

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: I have very little faith in Clay Holmes in a

103
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: big spot in the playoffs with the pressure on. He

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 4: walks guys, he hits bats, he just doesn't seem to

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: come through in those very clutch situations. Now, maybe he'll

106
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 4: surprise us all and dominate in the playoffs and become

107
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: a Yankee legend.

108
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: I doubt it.

109
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: You know, there's that meme on the internet where it's

110
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: just doubt that's what I'm clicking right there. But I

111
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: think that Luke Weaver should get a look over the

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 4: next several weeks. His stuff has been lights out. I

113
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: think you could see Cousins potentially in a situation where

114
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 4: you've got guys that struggle against the sweeper. Let's see,

115
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 4: you got some right handed hitters coming up. He's got

116
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: a really good sweeper. It's been really effective. Michael Tonkin.

117
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 4: I could see them doing closer by committee, but I

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: honestly think that they're gonna mostly stick with Clay Holmes

119
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: through the rest of the season and on into the playoffs.

120
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: That's barring any kind of further meltdown. So now you know,

121
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 4: if he blows two games against the Orioles in clutch

122
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: situations in the final week of the season.

123
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll change things. I think the Yankees.

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,799
Speaker 4: Will pull the plug because a lot of the playoffs

125
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 4: is about confidence, right, It's about feeding off the energy

126
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: of the crowd and just going out there and doing

127
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: your job. And if you've got a guy wondering if

128
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 4: he has the capability of doing that job. It's not

129
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: good for anybody. So right now I think they're gonna

130
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 4: stick with Clay Holmes, but closer by committee is definitely

131
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: on the table.

132
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: Hey Derek, this is sent from Long Island. Just listen

133
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: to your show after work. Att seven hundred and fifty

134
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: million for Soto. Yeah, that guy is absolutely insane. I

135
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: probably see probably in the bullpuck maybe fifty five million

136
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: dollars a year. But regardless all fas fact, that just

137
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: had me mind blown going into the postseason. I really

138
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: do see that Verdugo is going to get left off

139
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: this roster, and also see that DJ is probably going

140
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: to get left off the roster. With Rizzo coming back

141
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: and having a backup like Rice that might be able

142
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: to popplep a two clutch home runs, I just don't

143
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: see him making the roster as well. Want to know

144
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: what you're.

145
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 3: Thinking, I think you're spot on with Juan Soto.

146
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: Somewhere between fifty and sixty million dollars seems reasonable. That's

147
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: still a big raise from everybody else not named sho Heyotani.

148
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: And look, he doesn't pitch, he doesn't bring in the

149
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: endorsements from Japan. Just doesn't make any financial sense to

150
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 4: give that guy more than show. Heyotani, I'm sorry, but

151
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: somewhere between fifty and sixty million per year and you know,

152
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 4: a contract total of five hundred and six hundred million.

153
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 4: I mean, that's still a pretty big payday for a

154
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: chance to play for the New York Yankees for the

155
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: rest of your career. I think he would take that, honestly.

156
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: The Mets will probably offer him in the same you know,

157
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: area code in terms of money, and it'll just come

158
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: down to, you know, whether he wants to be a

159
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 4: Yankee or a Met. He'll probably get a slightly bigger

160
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: offer from the Mets. But you know, Judge got bigger

161
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 4: offers elsewhere decided to stay with the Yankees, so there

162
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 4: is something to that. Nobody can offer Juan so to

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 4: the protection like Aaron Judge can, who's about to have

164
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 4: his second sixty home run season if he keeps up

165
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: this pace. Now, talking about first base, I definitely think

166
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 4: that DJ Lemayhew could be left off the roster. I'll

167
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 4: be interested to see what Rizzo looks like when he

168
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: gets back, because he was looking really, really bad before

169
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: he even got hurt, and it was talks about him

170
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: possibly getting benched or just going on a phantom il trip,

171
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: or maybe even being dfad. He's not going to be

172
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 4: back next season, and you know he's had some concussion

173
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: issues which led to reaction time problems, so I want

174
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 4: to see that he's making consistent hard contact. If he's not,

175
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: I think he got to go with someone else over

176
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: at first base, which is why I want the Yankees

177
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 4: to give Oswaldo Cabrera some reps over there over the

178
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 4: next several weeks. I think he could be a nice

179
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: fit that allows you to play Jazz Chisholm at third

180
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: base and not really lose any kind of offensive value

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 4: because he has been one of the few Yankees who's

182
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 4: been hitting hitting.

183
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: The ball hard. But also he's one of those guys

184
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 3: who hits them where they ain't right.

185
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: He has a lot of duck snorts that drop in

186
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: there and find some grass. So I want to see

187
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 4: as Waldo get a chance, and if Rizzo comes back

188
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: and isn't getting it done, the Yankee should make a

189
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 4: switch pretty quickly. Rice been struggling a little bit too

190
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 4: much to hand him the job. Wouldn't be opposed to

191
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 4: having him on the roster because he is a backup catcher.

192
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 4: He's a third catcher, and he's got some left handed

193
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 4: pop which we know can come up big in the playoffs.

194
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 7: The summer gets super busy and getting back on a

195
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 7: good fall workout routine needs to be easy for me.

196
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 7: With Anytime Fitness being available anytime anywhere, they make it

Speaker 3: Kratz is spot on.

Speaker 5: Hey Derek, this is Matthew from Kahului.

213
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: Hawaii. Look, John Birdie has to.

214
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 6: Be on the playoff for uster.

215
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: He's the fastest guy on teams, literally faster than Jazz

216
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: des Bye being older, DJ's gone. Not even a question.

217
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: Cousins to be closer as of right now. Love the

218
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 5: way the bullpen's coming together. Huge star Finesster anyway, have

219
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 5: a great one Hollow.

220
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 4: You know, I almost forgot about John Birdie because he

221
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 4: hasn't been around for most of the season. Anybody who's

222
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: beyond their mid thirties knows how difficult it can be

223
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 4: to come.

224
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: Back from leg injuries.

225
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 4: And he's had two leg injuries this year, which you

226
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: wonder if it's going to hamper his speed. I don't

227
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: know if he's gonna get the opportunity really to play

228
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: much in the playoffs, but I don't mind having him

229
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 4: around as a pinch runner, a Dave Roberts type. You

230
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: never know when you need somebody to pinch run for

231
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: Stanton late in the game or something like that. You know,

232
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: let's say it's the bottom of the eleventh inning or

233
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: you know, and keep in mind there's no Manfred Man

234
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Let's say it's a bottom eleven and

235
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: John Carlos Stanton is leading off and he picks up

236
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: a base hit right immediately, you can put John Birdie

237
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: in there at first base and that base hit probably

238
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 4: becomes a double. So yes, I like him on the

239
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: playoff roster if he's healthy, but we have to see

240
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 4: it first. We can't just kind of grant him that

241
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: spot without him coming back and proving it and proving

242
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 4: it for a couple of weeks. I want to see

243
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: him swipe some bags and feel comfortable on a major

244
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: league field again.

245
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 6: Morning Derek markdown in Virginia, recalling a voicemail from a

246
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago. We got in the discussion when

247
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 6: everybody was intentionally walking Judge and there was that talk

248
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: of changing the rules so you can't intentionally walk, which

249
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 6: I thought was dumb, But I will tell you last

250
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 6: night they discussed when he got hit by the pitch

251
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 6: and Judge wanted to stay in that would be a

252
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 6: rule change. I'm okay with. If a player gets hit

253
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 6: and wants to stay in the batter's box instead of

254
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 6: taking first base, I'm okay with that. It's a win

255
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 6: win situation.

256
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: That's an interesting idea.

257
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 4: I've seen guys get hit by pitches before and pretty

258
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 4: much refuse to go to first base. Happened to Albert

259
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 4: Bell one time, just didn't want to go to first base.

260
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 4: I think if your jersey just gets nicked or whatever, yeah,

261
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 4: you should have the opportunity to continue to hit if

262
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: you're not hurt. I think the reason that they send

263
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 4: guys to first base is because if you get hit

264
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 4: by a pitch, generally it hurts and it inhibits your

265
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: ability to hit. But if you can still swing the

266
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: bat comfortably, you should have the option.

267
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: I agree. Per right, guys, we're going to.

268
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: Wrap it up. Here's the quick no Stra Derek prediction.

269
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 4: Then I will be back after the game to talk

270
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: it over.

271
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 6: All.

272
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 4: Right, Today's No Stra Deic prediction. I think Anthony Volpi

273
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: is going to get two hits tonight. I like the

274
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 4: way he's been swinging the bat a little bit better lately.

275
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: He's been kind of leveling out his swing again. He

276
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: had been kind of in launch mode.

277
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 3: I think he got a little bit home run happy

278
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: coming out of the break there.

279
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: He hit some bombs and he kind of got it

280
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 4: in his head again that hey, I'm a power hitter,

281
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: which is something that young players can do, but I

282
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: think that recently he's been swinging the bat a little

283
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: bit better, and so my prediction tonight two hits for

284
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 4: Anthony Bolpie. If you enjoyed this video, please drop a
