1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: All right the tip.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday, May and the Yankees were taking on

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: the Rangers in game one of a three game set.

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 2: Ben Rice got back into the home run column and

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: Will Warren put up a career high ten strikeouts. My recap,

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next. This is pinstrip territory.

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 1: Wanted to pook.

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 3: It's all.

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: All right, start spreading the news. Yankees take game one

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: of the series. Things got a little bit dicey there

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: in the ninth inning. Yankees had to go to Luke

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: Weaver with a five to two lead after beginning the

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: ending with a five nothing lead. But he nailed it down.

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: And if we get rained out the next couple of days,

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: at least we had a nice win tonight that we

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: can sit on and soak in for a little while.

17
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: Ben Rice back in the home run column. Apps demolished

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 2: a home run into the second deck in the second

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: inning tonight. Aaron Judge also went deep. His not quite demolished,

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: but hey, it's not how far you hit him. They

21
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 2: just have to clear the fence. And it was a

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: short poort home run. I think they said it was

23
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: the shortest one of his career, which I don't find

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: hard to believe. That was a kind of a cheapye,

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: but we'll take it. It counts. But the story tonight,

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: in my opinion, was Will Warren, who we will spotlight

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: later on third consecutive, really really great performance by him,

28
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: career high ten strikeouts. Unfortunately, Boston won, so the Yankees

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: don't gain the division. But on the positive end, they

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: did beat the Mets, who have fallen out of first

31
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 2: place in the NL East, and I'll be surprised if

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: they're in first place again this year. As Pauli Walnuts

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: would say, though, hey, I got my own frick of problems.

34
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: Still having some trouble with the voicemail, but about every

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: third call is getting through. Their aware of it. They're

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: trying to fix it. But we did get a few

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: calls that went through tonight that I will play. If

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: you call and it hangs up right away, just try

39
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: back again. You might have to try two or three times.

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just a little glitch that we're going

41
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: right now. I cleaned up my inbox. I had like

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: four hundred and sixty seven voicemails in my inbox, and

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I thought that was it. But it's still happening. So

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: it's on there, and but let's get to the recap.

45
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's get it going. Ian says

46
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: Weaver is a legit stud, and tonight he got his

47
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: save on I believe one pitch, no two pitches. He

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: threw two pitches tonight, so it didn't have to work

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: too hard. Last night we talked about how Austin Wells

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: needs to get better at throwing out runners, and today,

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 2: sure enough, he hosed down a runner with a perfect

52
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: throw in the first inning. Wit and make me look bad.

53
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: The Yankees jumped out front in the bottom of the

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: second inning, mister Ben Rice. Rice Rice baby tenth home

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: run of the season, second second deck. It was a

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: hangar and he annihilated it. And I did not have

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: an expectation that he would be this good this year.

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: And the Yankees really are gonna face a serious conundrum

59
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: when Stanton comes back. I'd imagine they'll still keep finding

60
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: spots for Ben Rice. There was a note today that

61
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: he took some ground balls at third base for fun. Yeah,

62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: for fun this weekend. I'd imagine that if he looked

63
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: even halfway decent, they'll they'll get him some reps over there,

64
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: because if you can hit, they will find a spot

65
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: for you. Hitting is so difficult and it's so rare.

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the league batting average is like two forty

67
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: two thirty something right now. And he not only hits

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: for you know, decent average. He should be hitting higher

69
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: than he is. He's sitting let's see two fifty nine,

70
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 2: but he's got nine oh four ohps and he's he's

71
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: on base for like thirty home runs. You gotta find

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: a way to get him in there. Bottom four single

73
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: and a stolen base for Judge, and then Bellinger extended

74
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: his hitting streak to fourteen games. All of a sudden,

75
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: he is on fire. Rice got Judge in with a

76
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: sacrifice fly could have easily been a two run double.

77
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Fantastic play by the center fielder. Yankees also flashed some leather.

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: Oswald Parrazza made a tremendous catch falling over the tarp

79
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: down there. He fell into the crevice. If only he

80
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: could hit just a little bit. He went zero for three.

81
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: He's hitting one sixty four with a five to fifty

82
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: oh ps. The history of Major League baseball is filled

83
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: with guys like Oswald Perrazza, who had a phenomenal glove

84
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: but just couldn't hit. You know, but if he learned

85
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 2: how to hit, he'd be an All star. He's that

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: good defensively. But will Warren left the bases loaded for

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: Mark Lighter in the sixth stenning. Phenomenal performance by Warren Tonight,

88
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: five and two thirds, shutout, no runs, ten strikeouts, a

89
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: career best. He had one walk, he threw one hundred,

90
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: he got over one hundred pitches. He threw one hundred

91
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: and one pitches tonight sixty five strikes and look, we're

92
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: gonna spotlight him in a minute. But he just continues

93
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: to look better and better. I might have been wrong

94
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: to doubt him whole life. Yanks got another run in

95
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: the bottom of the sixth inning, bloop double from Anthony Volpi.

96
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Didn't crush it. He had went harder later in the

97
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: game that got caught. That's just baseball. It evens out

98
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: looks like a laser beam in the box score. Fantastic

99
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: job by Devin Williams tonight in the eighth inning. You know,

100
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: he had two strikeouts. He did give up a hit,

101
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: but he's lowered his ERA down to under a touchdown. Well,

102
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 2: if you take away the extra point, it's down to

103
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: six point eight eight, but his confidence does seem to

104
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: get better each time out lately bottom eight base hit

105
00:05:54,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 2: from Trent Grisham and then mister Aaron Joe Alfotaco. This

106
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: one was not, in fact, way upstairs. This one was

107
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: barely downstairs. This one barely in the front door, short porch.

108
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Home run, second hit of the game, sixteenth home run

109
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: of the season. He is hitting four three. That is crazy.

110
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: And look, he does something every single day to help

111
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 2: the Yankees. I mean, multi hit game, he was laying

112
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: out in the outfield. I mean, the guy is unbelievable.

113
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: I don't think we appreciate him enough. And also he was,

114
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: you know, hitting a home run. Hitting a home run

115
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: was the Nostra Derek prediction today, by the.

116
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: Way, that is destiny fulfilled.

117
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Rangers dent and home plate in the ninth inning, but

118
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: Yankees went to Weaver to lock it down and they

119
00:06:54,240 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: hang on and win Game one of the series. Yeah,

120
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: tell you all right, So, I mean we had a

121
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: great comment here. This is a great one. Ricardo Bastos

122
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 2: Vieira says, Ben Rice is the real Spencer Jones. You know,

123
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: we've been talking about a left handed power back coming

124
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: up through the system, Spencer Jones. Ben Rice is that

125
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: real guy, and he's gotten on us fast, right, I

126
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: mean a few years ago, I mean he was somebody

127
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: that the real prospect gurus had on their radar, But

128
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't really pay that much attention to

129
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: him until he started, you know, getting called the best

130
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: hitter that people had ever seen, you know, by his

131
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: teammates and things like that. And then he hits three

132
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: home runs. Makes me shave my head now, Big Ben

133
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: Rice fan number twenty two, best number twenty two ever

134
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: to play for the Yankees. But he did not get

135
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: the Belt tonight, though he got consideration, nor did Aaron Judge,

136
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: despite his team leading sixteenth home run. This one goes

137
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: to Will Warren. Fantastic performance and Will Warren just keeps

138
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: getting better and better. Now three and two on the season.

139
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: In ten starts, he's got forty six and two thirds innings,

140
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: He's got sixty strikeouts now on the season, and in

141
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: his last seven starts he's got a three point five

142
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: eight ERA and his last three outings tonight five and

143
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 2: two thirds shutout innings time before that against Seattle, five innings,

144
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: two runs time before that against the athletics, seven and

145
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: a third innings, one run, So three really good outings

146
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: in a row. Let's spotlight a start tonight. I'll tell

147
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: you what the crow I am eating is delicious, because

148
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: you know, as someone pointed out, I was ready to

149
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: ship him off to El Salvador. Here's a call from Willie.

150
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Hey, there, it's Willly. You're gonna have to give Will

151
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Warren a new name. It's gonna be will Nolan Ryley

152
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: Warren four start to go. We was ready to send

153
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: him to El Salvador. He had more his than MS.

154
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: Thirteen, more hits in emesterods, all right, So actually it

155
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: was it was Marcus Stroman that we wanted to send

156
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: to El Salvador technically in the rent. But you know,

157
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 2: Will Warren was not on my good side for his

158
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: first few starts. You know, last year he came up

159
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: and you know, all we heard about was oh the stuff,

160
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: the stuff, and oh my god, the stuff. And then

161
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: all I saw was a ten e ra and his

162
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: stuff was getting pounded, you know, And he wasn't exactly

163
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: Paul Skens even throws ninety four ninety five miles. Now, yeah,

164
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: he's got some sync, got some movement, but he was

165
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 2: hit in the middle of the plate too much. And

166
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how good your stuff is if you

167
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: can't locate. And that continued into this year. I mean,

168
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: he would just throw too many pitches that would catch

169
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: way too much plate. But over the last few starts

170
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: he's been spotting his pitches better. So now when you

171
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: see that big nasty hook of a curveball or the

172
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: sweeper right, it comes at a situation where you got

173
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: two strikes or you're ahead in the count and the

174
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: hitter is more defensive. So once again I had it

175
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: wrong on him. You know, he has really turned around

176
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: his season. Granted, two of the three offenses as he's

177
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: pitched against in this streak, the Rangers not a good offense.

178
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Athletics is not a good offense. But the Mariners weren't bad.

179
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: They were swinging the bat pretty well. So racking up

180
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: strikeouts ten strikeouts today career best. Nice job for will

181
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: one anyway. Okay, so let's go ahead and review some

182
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: of our minor league talent right now, see who else

183
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: is in the system. So we do this. You know,

184
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: usually the beginning of every series, Ben has tearing it

185
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 2: up in High A. He's got forty five strikeouts in

186
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: thirty and two thirds innings in six starts, three point

187
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: two three. Bryce Cunningham absolutely dominating as well, forty two innings,

188
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: forty four strikeouts, but a two point one four ERA

189
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: and a one even whip. Cam Schlitzler, Who's somebody that

190
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: we saw in spring training. A lot Yankees gave him

191
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: a good look because I think they believe in him,

192
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: and I believe in him. Because he throws strikes thirty

193
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: seven and two thirds innings two point eighty seven ERA,

194
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,719
Speaker 2: forty four strikeouts in Double A. You know it might

195
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 2: be time to get him up to Triple A. I

196
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: don't think he's got a lot left to prove. If

197
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: you're pitching that well in Double A this far into

198
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: the season, I think you've earned a shot at Triple A.

199
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: We want him to be one, you know, at one

200
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: level away from the major leagues. Right, We're gonna need depth.

201
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: Not everybody's gonna stay healthy all season. I don't. I

202
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 2: don't know if we'll have any major injuries. But you know,

203
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: guys tweak hamstrings. Guys feel something in their lat little

204
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: tightness here there, and they need to miss a start.

205
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: I mean Dervick Cone had his finger bit by a

206
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: dog and El Duque had to fill in. You know,

207
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 2: you need guys. And if you got somebody who's pitching

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: this well in the minor leagues at double A, which

209
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: is a tough level, get get him a triple A,

210
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: get him one stop away. You gotta find out who

211
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: this guy is. Elma Rodriguez Cruz continuing to pitch well.

212
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: Actually he got roughed up a little bit in his

213
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: most recent start, but forty three strikeouts in thirty six

214
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: and the third innings, Carlos Lagrange. You're starting to hear

215
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: his name more and more. He throws high octane gas,

216
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: triple digits thirty one on the third innings three point

217
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: four to five. E Ra Lowa fifty strikeouts and a

218
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: whip under one. And then Griffin Herring low A thirty

219
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: eight and two thirds innings one point four zero era

220
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: A forty eight strikeouts and a whip under one. But

221
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: he's twenty two years old. Keep an eye on these guys.

222
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna need pitching. Any of these guys could be

223
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: moved along. I think at some point soon you're gonna

224
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 2: see Hessen Cunningham get moved up to double A. When

225
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: that happens, you'll see Schlitler moved up to triple A.

226
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: Probably somebody else to excuse me, as they need to

227
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 2: make room. That's the way it goes. Let's take a

228
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: look some hitters. So George Lombard Junior struggling at double A.

229
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: So far, he's got a one eighty two average, six

230
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: for thirty three, no extra base hits. But one thing

231
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: to be encouraged by this is very important. He's still

232
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: got a great eye. He's got ten walks, he's got

233
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: nine strikeouts, so he's walking more than he's striking out.

234
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: So even though he hasn't started slugging the baseball, he's

235
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: not overmatched. He's just feeling it out. Jesus Rodriguez at

236
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: Triple A someone to keep an eye on, if not

237
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: for us, possibly a trade chip. This is a guy

238
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: who is raking three twenty four average, four fifteen on

239
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: base percentage eight thirty four ops. And I watched him hit.

240
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: I watched some highlights of him this morning while I

241
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: was having my coffee. Man, this kid has a phenomenal swing.

242
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: Nomenal swing. He's going to be a major league hitterer

243
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: and a good one, keep an eye on him. TJ.

244
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: Rumfield three oh five, six home runs, four oh four,

245
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: on base percentage nine to twenty three ops. Continuing to

246
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: hit well, he could be somebody that gets moved into trade.

247
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: Two.

248
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: Doesn't seem like the Yankees have room for him. They've

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: got gold Schmidt, They've got Rice, you got Bellinger as

250
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: a third option, which you know, if you lose both

251
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: first base when you shift Bellinger in and that clears

252
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: up the outfield logjam. You just put Trent Grishaman center

253
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 2: every day and Domingas and left every day. So Rumfield

254
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: is the type of depth that, like I said, if

255
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: you can hit, they'll find a spot for you. Somebody

256
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: will trade for him. Ever since, Pereira cooled off a

257
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: little bit, but still two sixty nine with nine home runs.

258
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: I've heard that he's taking more pitches and having better

259
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: at bats this year than he has in a while.

260
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: And Spencer Jones, former number one pick, still on the

261
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 2: IL hitting two twenty eight with nine home runs. The

262
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: strikeout rate forty one in ninety two at bats really

263
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: not good. So all right, we're gonna get a quick

264
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: word from our sponsor tonight. The Hall of Fame app,

265
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 2: then back with a couple more of voicemails and your

266
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: reactions to tonight's game. Back in sixties, we have all

267
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: seen it happen. Someone is one leg away from hitting

268
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: a massive parlay, thousands of dollars on the line, and

269
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: then boom, an unexpected strikeout or garbage time bucket ruins everything.

270
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 2: That's the pain of betting on gut feelings. But now

271
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,120

Speaker 2: money on the table. All right, we are back, all right?

284
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: So first I want to start with a super chat

285
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: from Richard C. So he says, Will Warren needs to

286
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: have an five chen Ming Wong year. First of all,

287
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: great comment and great reference. As some of you know,

288
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm working on a book. It's called Pinstrite Therapy, and

289
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: there's a lot of talk about Yankees that I think

290
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: people don't remember or don't think about that have you know,

291
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: impacted my fandom over the years. And one of the

292
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: guys that I write about is chen Ming Wong. Right

293
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: when I graduated college, my present was a forty two

294
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: inch TV. It was a the first ever flat screen TV.

295
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 2: Back then they were like forty two inches was huge, right,

296
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: It was a big, big TV for me, big plasma TV.

297
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: And the first game I watched on it was chen

298
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: Ming Wong's major league debut and I'll never forget it.

299
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: And he, Chim Ming Wong, was a sinkerballer and much

300
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: like Will Warren, had got a ton of downward break

301
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: at you know, ninety five ninety six miles an hours,

302
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 2: like throwing a bowling ball. Guys just pounded the baseball

303
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: into the ground. And he was from Taiwan and when

304
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: he made his debut he had a big contingent of

305
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: Taiwanese fans that had come to watch him, and they

306
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: were literally almost sitting in Taiwan. They were so high

307
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 2: up in the upper deck they were like in the

308
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: last row. And I actually went and saw his second start.

309
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: We went up to Yankee Stadium, just on a little

310
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: summer vacation, and yeah, we got to watch his story

311
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: and that was That was one of Robinson Canoe's breakout

312
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: games too. I think Cano came into that game hitting

313
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: like one eighty or something like that, and I think

314
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: he went two for two or three for three, something

315
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: like that, and chim Ming Wong got the start. It

316
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: was against the Seattle Mariners. Maybe somebody could find that

317
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: box score. It was two thousand and five. Anyway, hard

318
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: believe that's been twenty years. But thanks for the great

319
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: memories there. Anyway. Let's see here. Yep, Matthew Erico says

320
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: he had a nasty sinker and uh yeah it was.

321
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 2: It was filthy. It would drop off the table. Okay,

322
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: let's get some voicemails here.

323
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: Hey, Derek is Lily, Oh where I got?

324
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: Will hang on? Let me play the next one.

325
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 3: Let's see what's going on, Derek man I just wanted

326
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 3: to get your opinion, see if you kind of agreed

327
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: seeing the same thing I did. Is it just near

328
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 3: is that there's Paraza shooting himself in the foot. He's

329
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: finally getting an opportunity to come up and show what

330
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: he's made of up here, and he just keeps he

331
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: can't even get bunts down, just having bad at that

332
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: silly errors. And then on the flip side, I know

333
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 3: your bid, Vivas hasn't really uh you know, gone off

334
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: hitting or anything, but he showed some real guts in

335
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: that last Mets game. In that uh, there's a big

336
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 3: at bat toward the end of the game where he

337
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: was fighting off pitches and taking pitches that are really

338
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: close to the zone and just spoiling really really tough

339
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: pitches and he ends up getting a putting the ball

340
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: in playing getting either an RBI or at least making

341
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: a producing a run out of it. So, I don't know,

342
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 3: it seems like the tables are kind of turning and

343
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: Vivas might be starting to get the upper hand. Just

344
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 3: wanted to get to your take, man, all.

345
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, so you're absolutely not wrong that you know,

346
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: Parazza continues to shoot himself in the foot, right. I mean,

347
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: he's he's he's got an opportunity. If he could just

348
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: hit a little bit, he would run away with it

349
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: because defense is so important. But I agree with you,

350
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: Vivas has looked like a major league hitter. I know

351
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: he's only hitting like one to eighty something, but he

352
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: has just straight up better at bats than Parazza. I

353
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: would have liked to have seen him tonight against the

354
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: lefty because he was not a particularly hard throwing lefty.

355
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he would have overpowered Vivas,

356
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: but we do got to give Paroza credit for the

357
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: nice play. But hitting one sixty four with a five

358
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: fifty ops. Let's go ahead and pull up his stat

359
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 2: Cast numbers because I haven't really looked at him this

360
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: year on stat Cast, and I think it's worth checking

361
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: out just seeing where he ranks. So just bear with

362
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: me while I pull him up. Oh wow, ooh, So

363
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: I was surprised to see this. The fielding run values

364
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 2: in the twenty third percentile. That's shocking to me because

365
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: he's looked so good over there. The x woe was

366
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 2: actually not as far down as you would think. The

367
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: average exit LOOSSI is over ninety miles an hour. Bat

368
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 2: speed is pretty good. Chase percentage is pretty good, but

369
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: you know, just doesn't hit the ball enough. With percentage

370
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: is pretty low. Strikeout percentage is not good. Barrel percentage

371
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: is actually above average. I'm shocked at the fielding, the

372
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: range and the arm strength. Is this the right guy?

373
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 3: They?

374
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: I don't know? And he is fast seventy eighth percentile. Man,

375
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: that's weird. But look at all his hits. Almost all

376
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: of his hits are completely hooked down the line. He's

377
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: got one to center field, but almost everything is right

378
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: along the same path. You guys see that. I don't

379
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,159
Speaker 2: know if you can see my mouse. It's so weird,

380
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 2: like almost all of his hits are within just a

381
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: very small piece of the pie there. Very odd, and

382
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't have a lot of hits. So all right,

383
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. The final comic goes to music man,

384
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: who says Wong was never the same after hurting his

385
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: foot rounding third base. Yeah, that was in Oakland.

386
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: He was.

387
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 2: He was a really consistent pitcher. We miss him, and

388
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: there's a great documentary on him. I've mentioned it before.

389
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: I believe it's on Netflix. It used to be it's

390
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 2: called late life the Chin Ming Wong story. Anyway, Yankees win.

391
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: Yiker Francis says, I'm reaching on Parazza. I don't even

392
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: know what you're I'm just reading the data. I mean,

393
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know how I'm reaching. I'm not seeing anything.

394
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: I'm seeing a guy who hits one fifty, you know.

395
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: But anyway, it is what it is. Not everybody's gonna

396
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: agree with everything you say. All right, guys, we'll see

397
