Is that allowed Aaron Judge dropping 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: the gavel, Carlos Rodan with a pretty good start, and 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: John Carlos Den put one halfway up the bleachers.

So yesterday 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: we get kicked off a live streaming on YouTube for 38 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: showing a clip of Jaws. And today I'm sitting here 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to do my opening and i hear 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: my computer talking over there. Turns out my cat, who's 41 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: always causing trouble, stepped on the keyboard and caused a 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: video to play. So right as I'm starting the show, 43 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: I've got a video playing not six feet behind me, 44 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 1: driving me nuts. And the Yankees won two in a row. 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: Cats and dogs living together? How do we explain it? 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: So pretty good night for the Yankees' phenomenal performance by 47 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: Carlos rodin second day in a row with the same lineup, 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: which on one hand I like, but on the other hand, 49 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 1: Dominguz was on the bench. We all though, I like 50 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: watching Dominga's play and develop, and like watching the young 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: guys play every day, but you know, sometimes a couple 52 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: of days off can help. I found it very interesting 53 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: that Ben Rice was behind the plate again tonight, and 54 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: that Austin Wells got another day off, so you know, 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: maybe doubling up the rest, but also maybe a little 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 1: bit of a catching controversy brewing, So keep an eye 57 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: on that. We got a couple of super chats real 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: quick to get to. Brian Bashman says, I know that 59 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: the Twins team is basically a double A ball club, 60 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 1: but maybe the Wins will get the team going. Hey, 61 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: we can always hope, right, And then Michael Pinto says, 62 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: this must be how the Astros feel playing us. Oh man, 63 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: that's tough. And then twins or not, I don't care. 64 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: They're called slump busters for a reason. Let's hope this 65 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: instills confidence thanks to Matt Paredi. And then one of 66 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: a kind says, your twins are that girl your friend 67 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: calls when he's in a slump. He all right, So 68 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: as you can see, our live streaming privileges have been 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: properly restored. So that's good. We're back here on pinstripe territory. 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge back in the home run column, first home 71 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: run since July twenty third tonight. It's amazing how Paul 72 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: O'Neill so often predicts when things are about to happen, 73 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: same with Joe Girardi. So tonight having both of those 74 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: guys in the booth was an awesome experience. I love 75 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 1: having that trio of Girardi, O'Neill and Michael Kay In 76 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: my opinion, that's the best combo going right now. If 77 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: you're into like insight and analytics, we're not analysis, and 78 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, experience those guys are all terrific, all right, 79 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: So mellow says Kitty could not wait to see tonight's 80 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: replays and pressed play. It was actually my own podcast 81 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: because I had like the screen up there from where 82 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: I uploaded the thumbnail and all that, and so it 83 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: was gonna be playing my own voice behind me about 84 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: like ten or fifteen seconds after I said it. I 85 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: would not have been able to tolerate that. It would 86 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: have driven me nuts. I never run ads at the 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: beginning of the show. But hey, we did it tonight. 88 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: That's what we had to do, all right. So let's 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and get to the recap. Let's go, let's 90 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: get it going. So Twins did jump out to an 91 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: early lead. Things were not looking great. You know, he 92 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: was bouncing the slider, he was nibbling. He threw thirty 93 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: one pitches, only eighteen of them strikes. But after that 94 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: he settled down and pitched one of his best games 95 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: of the season. We'll talk more about him in a 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: few minutes, but a really good outing for Carlos Rodin. 97 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge answered right back with a long home run 98 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: thirty eight home runs now on the season for Aaron Judge. 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: What continuing the Judge to push for forty. I think 100 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: he will definitely get to fifty. I'm missing some time 101 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: on the IL. We'll probably keep him from passing Cal Rawley, 102 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: who's already got forty five. You gotta figure he's gonna 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: get close to six the if not go past it. 104 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: But John Carlos Stanton, the way he's swinging the bat 105 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge in the lineup, they were right on 106 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: the broadcast. You got to have those two guys in 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: the lineup if you can. I'm so glad, so pleased 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: to see that. John Carlos Stanton has been able to 109 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: play right field the last couple of nights, and we 110 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: will talk about him. But Yankees extended the lead on 111 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: a three run home run by Anthony Volpi. Big three 112 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: run shot, home run number eighteen on the year for Volpi. 113 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: And the thing about Volpie is that he has suddenly 114 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: like flipped a switch in terms of the power you 115 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: remember the most. You know, most of the season he 116 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: wasn't hitting home runs after that initial barrage in the 117 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: first weekend. But since the All Star break, I think 118 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: he's got about eight home runs, and you know, he 119 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: seems to have momentarily at least conquered the yips that 120 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: seemed to be plaguing him there for a couple of weeks. 121 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: His defense has been, you know, unspectacular, but not noteworthy 122 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: in a bad way either the last several games. So 123 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: that's good. Pretty clear that Jazz Chisholm was giving him 124 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: signs when he got around. They like had exchanged like 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: a couple of words and almost like kind of like 126 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: a winker a pat on the back. So it's not 127 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: the first time we've seen the Yankees just be blatant 128 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: about stealing signs. But that's legal, I mean, and against 129 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: the team like the Twins that are already out of it, 130 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: they don't care. They're just like whatever, just play, let's 131 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: get this over with so we can go home. Terrific 132 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: hustle by Cody Bellinger tonight in the third inning, ground 133 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: ball the first base but when he was running hard, 134 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the first baseman booted it and Bellinger was able to 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: beat it out. And that's you know, that's what people 136 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: praised the hustle for it, right, I mean, he turned 137 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: what would have been an out for most people into 138 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: a base hit. And now he's got great speed, But 139 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: the fact that he was busting it out of the box. 140 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: That's huge and he always does that. Really love the guy. 141 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: Every single night he shows me something different. Pay that 142 00:07:51,760 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: man his money, his money, all right. So he also 143 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: had a crazy long at bat by the way, where 144 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: he fouled off a ton of pitches. I mean, he 145 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: ended up flying out. A lot of people are gonna 146 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: really praisy at bat. And yes, I do love a 147 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: good long at bat because it wears out the pitching. 148 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: But he also swung it ball four a few times 149 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: in that at bat. So let's you know, credit where 150 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: credits due, but also let's temper the whatever you want 151 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: to call it there. John Carlos Stanton went deep again 152 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: home run number twelve, four hundred and forty seven feet 153 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: twelfth home run of the year. Well, no, it was. 154 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: This one was to left field, opposite field last night. 155 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 1: This one he hit it deep into the left field bleachers. 156 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: You know something about hitting the ball into the left 157 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 1: field bleachers. Even though it happens a lot at this stadium, 158 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: it's still super impressive. I remember back at the old stadium, 159 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: I only saw one guy do it, and that was 160 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: in Karnassi and one in Karnassion. I think he was 161 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: playing for Detroit at the time. In fact, I think 162 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: there's a video about it on my channel. You just 163 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: didn't see guys hit the ball into the left field bleachers. 164 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if that ball that John Carlo hit tonight 165 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: would have flirted with the bleachers, and the ones that 166 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge hit over the bleachers at the New Stadium 167 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: definitely would have gone into the leftfield bleachers at the 168 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: old stadium. But Tonight's shot looked like it would have 169 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: been close. And I know the distance out there. You know, 170 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: at one point it was like four to sixty something 171 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: and this one was four forty seven. But you know, 172 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: it's not like a straight shot. So that one I 173 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: would love to see like a chart as to where 174 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: this one would have landed at the old same because 175 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: I think it might have made the bleachers. It had 176 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: like the height, it had the distance. That was a shot. 177 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: He also passed Jason Giambi on the All Time lesson 178 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: I'm a Giombie Fan. I know a lot of people 179 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: didn't love Jason Giambi because he didn't win and he 180 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, well, he didn't win a World 181 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: Series with the Yankees, and he did the steroid thing, 182 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: but he was clutched. He had that big home run 183 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: against the Twins. He had two home runs against Pedro 184 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: in the UH three Game seven that the Yankees won. 185 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: You don't win that game without the two home runs 186 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: from Giombi. So I always appreciated Jason Giambi. I saw 187 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: Hi hit a couple of home runs in person. A 188 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: ton of fun. Love that guy. I think he'll be 189 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: a good manager someday from what I've heard about him 190 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: as like a bench guy. He was basically a de 191 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: facto manager in his or at least coach his last 192 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: couple of years in the major leagues when he wasn't 193 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: playing that much. He was basically a pinch hitter. But anyway, 194 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: John Carlos Danton four hits tonight, very quietly, having a great, 195 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: great season since coming back and playing right field, which 196 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk about all that in a minute. Bullpen was 197 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: solid tonight. Tim Hill through a scoreless inning, Dale Santos 198 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: through a scoreless ninth inning. He's got a one point 199 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: five to seven ERA, very quietly been solid. And I'm 200 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: told this is not a major league record, but the 201 00:10:47,040 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: Yankees have won two in a row. Harris Grubbs says, 202 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: I'll take Stanton over Harper right now, heart big G, 203 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: and Stanton is definitely starting to crush it. I mean 204 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: he is smoking the baseball. Just a quick look at 205 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: his OPS nine to sixty two and well, I've got 206 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: a segment on him in just a minute. But first 207 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: we got to give out some hardware. We got co 208 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: belts tonight. Two guys stood out with their performance, going 209 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: Big G and Carlos Rodan co Belts. I did co 210 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: Belts because I felt like there was one or two 211 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: games this year where Carlos Rodan deserved a belt but 212 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: didn't get one. And Big G tonight with his performance 213 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: four hits, raising his average over three hundred, driving in 214 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 1: three runs, hitting a ball four hundred and forty seven feet, 215 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't not give one to him. So we're going 216 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: co belts tonight. It was good to see Carlos Rodin 217 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: bounce back. You know, he's had some downstarts. I felt 218 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: like he should have gotten deeper into that game in 219 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: Miami that might have prevented the bullpen melt down. The 220 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: Yankees had a big lead and he just kind of 221 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: like let them chip away. Tough start to the game tonight, 222 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: thirty one pitches in the first inning total grind couldn't 223 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: get his breaking ball over, was bouncing everything. But then 224 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: just eighteen pitches in the next two innings combined. He 225 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: had a couple of first pitch of the inning outs. 226 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: Tonight probably his most dominating game of the season, really, 227 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: I mean one of the top two or three anyway. 228 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: Seven innings, one hit, one run, two walks, five strikeouts. 229 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: Very nice performance, three point twenty five ERA on the 230 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: season and a great, great, great job by Carlos Rodin. 231 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about John Carlos Stanton, as I mentioned very quietly, 232 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: having a good season, Like I think this might be 233 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: his most consistent baseball that he's played since probably twenty 234 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: twenty one when he had a really good year. And 235 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at a stat cap numbers, 236 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: he really hasn't lost anything. Oh we got a big 237 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: super chat here from Louis Penofield, says back from Cancun, 238 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: Yankees win. Oh, you two tequila shots. I appreciate it, 239 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: my man. Appreciate that forty nine ninety nine from Louise Penefield, 240 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: you man. But looking at John Carlos Stanton's numbers here, 241 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: his average exit velocity. I mean, it's not the tops 242 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: in the league, but it's up there, ninety four point six. 243 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,599 Speaker 1: It would definitely be in the top probably one or 244 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: two percent, you know, if if he was able to qualify. 245 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: I know O'Neil Cruz has a ton of exit velocity 246 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: to some other guys. Jackson, not Jackson, Churio, actually jack Centurier, 247 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: I think does have some good exit velocity. Who's that 248 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: guy for I can't think of, Oh, Junior Camonaro. He's 249 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: got a good exit velocity, a good bat speed too, 250 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: but he's still up there. Barrel percentage is up this year, 251 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: hard hit percentage is up. He's tweaked his stance a 252 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: little bit. He's back to closing things up. His walk 253 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: percentage is you know, well above average. He's still striking 254 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: out a bit too much, you know, but the speed 255 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: is hilarious. He's in the number one percentile. He's the worst, 256 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: one of the slowest guys in baseball. The arm looks solid. 257 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: The other night he made a nice throw. But overall, 258 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: now on the season, hitting three hundred with a nine 259 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: to sixty two OPS, he was four for five with 260 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: three RBIs. He has played right field and he has 261 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: survived the experience, which is, you know, better than we 262 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: thought could have happened at this point. And you know, 263 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: he's looking confident, he's taking the ball to all fields 264 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: and loving what we're seeing from him. I thought it 265 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: was interesting tonight that Ben Rice was back in the lineup. 266 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: He was behind the plate. He was zero for three 267 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: with a couple of strikeouts. But you know, he basically 268 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: got the second start in a row at catcher, meaning 269 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: Austin Wells on the bench twice in a row. And 270 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: that makes you wonder how the Yankees are feeling about 271 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: his defense. Are they taking a closer look. Are they saying, well, 272 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: it's maybe not that much of a difference between him 273 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: and Austin Wells because Rice has been the superior hitter 274 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: seven eighty six ops, Wells is under seven hundred. And 275 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: you know, Ja c Escara was back on the roster tonight, 276 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: so when the Yankees went to a catcher, they decided 277 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: to give Wells the entire night off. Makes sense, rest 278 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: him up a little bit. But I'll be interested to 279 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: see how this develops in the chat. Let me know 280 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: who you think right now would start as the Yankees 281 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: catcher if the postseason were to begin tomorrow. And also, 282 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: who do you think the Yankees' opening day catcher will 283 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: be next year? I'm starting to lean into Ben Rice. 284 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: I think he looks fine behind the dish. He obviously 285 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: worked well with Rodin tonight, but looking good. Btr says, 286 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: going to game tomorrow, I better not see Devin Williams. 287 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: Let's hope that you don't. Did you see what John 288 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: Sterling said about Devin Williams. He said his advice to 289 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone is based I know you want to pitch 290 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: Devin Williams. I know you want to, Just don't do it. 291 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: Just don't pitch Devin Williams. That was his, uh, his advice. 292 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: Brian Bashman says, why are all these guys with elite 293 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: exit velocity hitting under two fifty. That's a fantastic comment. 294 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: Clearly not a big time correlation between exit velocity and 295 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: batting average. I'd be interested to see what the like 296 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: if the bottom third of exit velocity in the league 297 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: has a higher batting average than the top third, because 298 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times you can get hits on those 299 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: soft little flares, you know, just making contact, hitting dribblers infield, 300 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: hits things like that. Obviously, you want to hit the 301 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: ball hard. You want to have the ability to hit 302 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: the ball hard. What I like is somebody who hits 303 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: the ball hard but also hits the ball often, right, 304 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge. He hits the ball hard, but he also 305 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: hits the ball very often, and he walks a lot. 306 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: That's why he's an elite offensive player. Rich Dubbs says 307 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 1: he stopped chasing that slider, referring to John Carlow. He 308 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: does seem to be laying off it a little bit 309 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: better right now. But let's just kind of temper expectations. 310 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the Twins obviously not the most dominating pitching 311 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: staff in the league right now. So we'll see how 312 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: he does against elite sliders in the in the playoffs. 313 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: I take a few voicemails just to reaction. Here's Sam Hey, 314 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: Derek pat from Brooklyn Yankees up eight one. 315 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: It's Devin Williams time. 316 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: Hey, who we got. Yeah, you can't pitch him even 317 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: when you're winning. You have to pitch him when the 318 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: game is basically over and you've lost, and you know, 319 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: let him eat up those innings. He's the last man 320 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: in the bullpen now at this point. In my opinion, 321 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 1: here's Brian. 322 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: What's going on? Derek just wanted to say how much 323 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: better Volpi's than playing with the addition of Ryan McMahon. 324 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: It's been amazing. He's been fielding better almost instantly, and 325 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: it seems like that confidence is carried over as well 326 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: into his offense. So that's just been something to look 327 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: forward to going moving forward here. 328 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: I think that. 329 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 2: Just the steady presence of Ryan McMahon over at third base, 330 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: how much that actually impacts not only the enfield defense 331 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 2: but the confidence of some of these infielders moving forward? 332 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I'd be interested to know what kind 333 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: of an effect that has on Volpi. Like, there's definitely 334 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: a correlation between McMahon arriving and Volpi playing better, But 335 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: correlation doesn't equal causation, right, you know what's the old 336 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: fallacy post hoc ergo propter hawk after it. Therefore, because 337 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: of it, we don't necessarily know that McCann being over 338 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: there is a reason Volpey's playing better. It could have 339 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: just happened around the same time. But I do think 340 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: that Volpi not having to worry as much about ranging 341 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: to his right definitely allows him to position himself a 342 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: little bit closer to first base, a little bit more 343 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: up the middle, and that gives the Yankees a little 344 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: bit better chance of getting it out because he doesn't 345 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: have the arm, you know, to go deep in the 346 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: hole and make that play. But McCann is such good 347 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: range to his left that he can cut across and 348 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: make that play. So it might be it might be 349 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: a correlation, but at this point, I'm loving what we're 350 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: seeing from McCann. Defensively, I think he's about due for 351 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: a home run. He hasn't hit a home run yet 352 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: with the Yankees, but he's got some power and I 353 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: think it's coming, and I think it might be coming tomorrow. 354 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: So that's that's your No. Stra Derek pick for tomorrow 355 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: home run from Ryan McMahon. And by the way, apologies 356 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: to an advance because I'm gonna call him McMahon or 357 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: McCann a bunch of times. I've already said it like 358 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: ten times to myself tonight, Ryan McMahon and Brian McCann. 359 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: That is very difficult for my brain for whatever reason. 360 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: But McCann obviously a long term yet I did the 361 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: same thing with Will Warren. I called him Adam Warren, 362 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 1: Like twenty times. I heard Joel Sherman called Max Freed 363 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: Tom Glavin the other day. It's weird when you watch 364 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: baseball and players are kind of like similar or have 365 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: similar names, you just you just call them by different 366 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: names in your brain. It's weird. Baseball is a game 367 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: like that. But all right, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna 368 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: wrap it up here. No ad tonight to play obviously 369 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: because we played it early on special thanks to DraftKings. 370 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: Ryan doesn't know who mckenn is. Brian McCann. Brian McCann, 371 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: former Yankee catcher for a couple of years. They got 372 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: him from the Braves, Big time power. Really took a 373 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: step back after coming to the U to the Yankees. Anyway, 374 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: I've said it, Yeah, I've said I probably said it 375 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: a few times. It's just it's one of those things. 376 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: All Right, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna call it a night. 377 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: Appreciate you watching, thanks for tuning back in.
