1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: All right, but it to fail you. Oh wow, wanted 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: to talk all. 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 2: Today is Wednesday, August seventh, and it was game one 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: of a doubleheader between the Yankees and the Angels under 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: the rain drops at Yankee Stadium. Louis Hill was on 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 2: the mound looking for win number twelve. My recap, your 7 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 2: reactions coming up next. This is n y Why recaps. 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: Neil Yaws. 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: Pull me back? All right, Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back. 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: Yankees get back on the field and back in the 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: win column. When they woke up this morning, they were 12 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: in first place by a half game. They now lead 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: the American League Eest by a game, with a chance 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: to extend it later if the Orioles can lose, and 15 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 2: if the Yankees do indeed play Game two, whether not 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: looking good, not looking good, I'll be surprised if they 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: actually play Game two, which his scheduled to be on 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 2: Amazon Prime. But a somewhat stress free game. Yankees win 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: five to two. Oswaldo went deep. Austin Wells continues to 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 2: have impressive at bats. He's got the ops over seven 21 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: to sixty now at seven sixty three, so he's really 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: coming around with the bat. After a very slow start 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: to the season. Alex Verdugo, when he's right, is a 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: doubles machine, and today he was right. He had a 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: couple of doubles. He smoked one to left center field 26 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: to lead off the end. He also got robbed of 27 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 2: a third double down the right field line. But Luis 28 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: Heel picks up win number twelve. Talk about him more 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: than a second judge. With another big day, good at 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: bats from Ben Rice to work a couple of walks. 31 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,279 Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm had a rough day, he struck out four times. 32 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: Golden Sombrero had a big home run from Oswaldo Cabrera, 33 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: who continues to swing the bat very very well. Funny story. 34 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: I've got a friend staying with me at my house 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: for the few weeks. He's getting ready to move into 36 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: a new place and kind of in between spots, and 37 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: he's not really that into baseball. I mean, honestly, he's 38 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: not into baseball at all. He's an unbelievably good fighting 39 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: game player, and by osmosis, you know, he has kind 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: of had to absorb all of this baseball talk and 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: Yankees stuff that's going on all these games, and to 42 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 2: his credit, to his credit, today in the bottom of 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: the eighth inning, when they showed Clay Holmes warming up 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 2: in the bullpen, he reactively and instinctively said, oh, cardiac Clay. 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: So he's only been here for a few weeks and 46 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: he already understands to be ready to call nine to 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: one to one for me when Clay Holmes is in 48 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: the game. Luis heel pretty solid game. He was battling 49 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: the rain drops. He had five walks, but he also 50 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 2: had six strikeouts, did not allow any runs. I thought 51 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Paul O'Neill had a really good point when he said 52 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: it looks like he's kind of learned how to pitch 53 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 2: over the course of this year. You know, when his 54 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 2: command is less than ideal or the conditions are less 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: than ideal, he finds a way to get it done. 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: It has It has not always been like that for 57 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: Luis Hell. You know, there are times when his command 58 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: would just get away from him and he'd walk five 59 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: six guys in a row or whatever, or the conditions 60 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: weren't right, and you know he'd let it really impact him. 61 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 2: But he has really become an excellent pitcher over the 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: last couple of months, and that's what you want to 63 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: see from a rookie. You want to see the improvements 64 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: in real time. You know, we got to see him 65 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: throw the slider more over the last several weeks, and 66 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: now we're seeing him develop more as a pitcher, pitching 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 2: out of jams and working around you know, less than 68 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: ideal command. So it's great in real time to see these, 69 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: you know, various things developing with his game. In the 70 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: past month, he has picked it back up and saved 71 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: his season and probably saved his Rookie of the Year campaign. 72 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: On the season, he has now twenty two starts. He 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: is twelve and five with a three point zh six ERA, 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen and two thirds inning's pitched one 75 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight strikeouts. The whip actually went up 76 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: a tick today. It began at one point one zero 77 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: up to one point one point one. But uh, you're 78 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 2: not gonna You're not gonna hold that against him. He's 79 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: got a real chance at the Rookie of the Year 80 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: if he keeps pitching the way he is. Topped out 81 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 2: at ninety eight point seven miles an hour twice today, 82 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: ten swings in missus and a season high one hundred 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: and six pitches despite just throwing five innings, so he 84 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: averaged more than twenty one pitches per inning, but he 85 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: was able to keep the Angels off the board. So 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 2: great job by Luisia. I'm not gonna say great job, 87 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: but nice job to control the damage despite walking six 88 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: five guys. So as I like to say, he is 89 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: the real deal. Talk a little bit about Clark Schmidt. 90 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: He has begun throwing two hitters and he said that 91 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: he feels awesome. They showed an interview with him during 92 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 2: the game. I love Clark Schmid's energy. He just seems 93 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 2: like a really lighthearted, fun kind of guy, and I'm 94 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: really rooting for him. You know, obviously an early draft 95 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: pick for the Yankees and struggle a little bit when 96 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: he first came up, but he has really come into 97 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: his own as a starting pitcher. And I think if 98 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: he had stayed healthy, we'd be talking about him having 99 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,600 Speaker 2: a monster season because he was really starting to get 100 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: past that sort of five inning limit that he had 101 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: where he couldn't really work through the lineup a third time. 102 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: He was starting to push by that when he had 103 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: the oblique injury. But call me crazy, call me crazy, 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: call me nuts, lock me up in an insane asylum 105 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 2: and feel free to save this clip, but I predict 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: he is going to be a major, major contributor to 107 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 2: the Yankees if they do anything in the playoffs. Here's 108 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: why he's gonna be fresh. He's gonna be entering mid 109 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: season form. A lot of times it comes down to 110 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: who's hot at the right time, and he's basically gonna 111 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: have about four or five starts in the major leagues 112 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: to get back into shape, to get back into mid 113 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: season form, and that should be just about the right 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: amount of time to get, you know fully back to 115 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: what he was before he got hurt. And as a reminder, 116 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 2: he was peaking when he got injured. In his final 117 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: four starts before the injured list, he had a one 118 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: point h nine ERA one point oh nine. Hitters were 119 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 2: hitting just one seventy four against him. If you watch 120 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks run last year, you know that Brandon fot 121 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 2: has well. He played a big role in getting the 122 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: Diamondbacks to the World Series because he was able to 123 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: take the ball and give them five decent innings every 124 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: single time. Just reliable Clark Schmidt, that's his modus operandi. 125 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: In seven of his final eleven starts, before going on 126 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: the il he went at least five innings and allowed 127 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: two runs or less. So he's just a really solid, 128 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: really reliable starting pitcher. He's not going to give you 129 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: seven innings and fifteen strikeouts most of the time, you know, 130 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: I mean, nobody does that. But he's not going to 131 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: be that dominating long deep into the game most of 132 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: the time guy. But he'll get you through five and 133 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: he'll keep you in the game and in the playoffs, 134 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: that's a huge, huge part of winning. We saw openers 135 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: being used in the World Series last year. We saw 136 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: pitching really challenged the depth that teams had in the playoffs, 137 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: and Clark Schmidt coming back and peaking at the right 138 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: time is going to be huge. That's my prediction. Watch 139 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: for Clark Schmidt in the playoffs to be a major, 140 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: major contributor. Let's talk a little bit about rule changes. 141 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: We saw Aaron Judge get walked one today intentionally in 142 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: the bottom of the eighth inning. Blue Jays may have 143 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: kind of angered the baseball gods by not pitching to 144 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: Judge this weekend, and it's gotten to the point where 145 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: people are starting to call for rule changes. I've seen 146 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: this a few spots, and we got a couple of 147 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: voicemails about it. 148 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, I just wanted to comment on that Aaron 149 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: Judge being intentionally passed four times in the last two games, 150 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: and I think maybe it's time for a rule change 151 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball. Let's say you can only intentionally 152 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: walk a batter one time per game. Might make a difference, 153 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: because that was a rip off and it was a 154 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: stupid thing to do by John Snyder. I hope they 155 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: finished into basement for the next ten years. 156 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: Darky later in the basement. So here's the deal. I 157 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: once considered myself a baseball purist. I didn't want to 158 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 2: have interleague play, but over the years, I've grown to 159 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: like the Subway Series. I think the pitch clock has 160 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 2: a nice addition. I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed the expanded playoffs, 161 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: although I think it does seem to ice down the 162 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: divisional winners if they have five days off. I like 163 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: the shift changes that they made. Point is, I'm open 164 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: to change, and baseball, at the end of the day, 165 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: is an entertainment business. People pay to get it into 166 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 2: the game and watch Aaron Judge hit. They take their 167 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 2: kids to go see Aaron Judge hit. He's one of 168 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: the true stars of the game. And I think a 169 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 2: rule where you can only walk intentionally one hitter, or 170 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: or let's say it this way, if a team could 171 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: walk intentionally any hitter no more than once per game, 172 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 2: I think that would be a great rule change, right, 173 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: So you got to strategically pick when you pitch to 174 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge. You know, if he comes up in the 175 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: you know, fourth inning, with runners on first and second 176 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: and one out, you know, maybe you walk him to 177 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: load the bases and go for the double play there, 178 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: take your chances with Austin Wells. But then you can't 179 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: do that again in the eighth inning when he comes 180 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: up in a big spot. So I think it makes 181 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 2: sense to limit the amount that you can intentionally walk somebody, 182 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: especially when you don't even throw the pitches anymore. Right, 183 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: if it's just go to first base, that's boring. There's 184 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: nothing entertainment about that. One intentional walk per batter per 185 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 2: team would be a great addition. But I don't think 186 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: anything is going to go in until the next CBA, 187 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: which wouldn't affect the league until twenty twenty seven anyway. 188 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a shame that Aaron Judge is getting 189 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: walk so much, but he's gonna put up humongous on 190 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: base percentage numbers this year and humongous OPS numbers. He's 191 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: already at one point one six to zero, so it 192 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: won't be implemented anytime soon. Next CBA is a couple 193 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: of years away. But anyway, not a good idea to 194 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: just free pass every single time. That's weak. All right, 195 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: chat's filling up. Let's talk about the game. 196 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 3: All right, let's go, let's get it going. So, as I. 197 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 2: Mentioned, for Dugo let off the game with an opposite 198 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: field double. He came around to score on a very 199 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,599 Speaker 2: nice piece of hitting by Austin Wells, whose mustache continues 200 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: to migrate further and further down his face. He is 201 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: getting into mattingly and months in territory, for sure. He 202 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 2: has some really good swings today on loving the way 203 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: that he is evolving as a hitter. Very patient, very 204 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 2: compact swing, good power, just enough of an uppercut to 205 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 2: where if he catches it out front, it's gonna go 206 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: a long way. And he's gonna continue to get more 207 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: and more dangerous as he gets more and more comfortable 208 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: against big league pitcher. It so nice job by Austin Wells. 209 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: Today Yankees tacked on another run on a double by 210 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 2: Volti into the left field corner. He continues to swing 211 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: the back very well since the All Star break. Bottom 212 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: two Oswaldo Cabrera the Wizard about five rows beat into 213 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 2: the right field porch. Seventh home run of the season 214 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: for Oswaldo, whose ops continues to freak back up towards respectability. 215 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: Yankees got their fourth run on an RBI double by 216 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: Verdugo in the bottom of the fifth, his fiftieth RBI 217 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: of the season. He had two doubles on the game, 218 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: twenty six doubles on the season. Nice job by Ridugo today. 219 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: It's gonna be an interesting belt competition here today between 220 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: basically Oswaldo Cabrera or Alex Verdugo, maybe a little bit 221 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: of Louis Heel mixed in. I don't know what do 222 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: you guys think we'll figure it out in just a 223 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 2: second judge single to make it five nothing. He is 224 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: pretty good to baseball. Heel was done after five innings. 225 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: Final line two hits, no runs, five walks, and six strikeouts. 226 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: Too many walks, but I'm gonna cut them some slack 227 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: because of the rain. But a nice job by Luis 228 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: Heal Angels got a couple of runs back on a 229 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: home run by Netto in the seventh nice job by 230 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: Luke Weaver dominating outing from Cardiac Clay And as I mentioned, 231 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: the Yankees expand their lead in the East to a game, 232 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: and they have a chance to expand it even more 233 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: tonight if the Orioles lose, and if the Yankees can 234 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: win in Game two, if they even managed to play 235 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 2: Game two, ball game over ball game over. 236 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: All. 237 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: Right, So, I mean, we had some good days today. 238 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: We had Verdugo couple of hits, a couple of doubles, 239 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: a couple of runs. We had Judge with a couple 240 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: of hits, Well's couple of hits. We had the lockdown 241 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: saved from Holmes, the lockdown inning from Weaver. But you 242 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: know what, Oswaldo left the yard. Were given it to. 243 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: Him, all right, Yankee Basher twenty one says, can he'll 244 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 3: still get a vote for the cy Young twelve and 245 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 3: five is not that bad. 246 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna win the cy Young. I 247 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: think Tarik skoubl is gonna win the cy Young. Last 248 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: I checked, he had about a two and a half 249 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: e er, so I don't expect that. But Rookie of 250 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: the Year ain't bad. It's not a bad consolation prize. 251 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: And you know, Luisio could have a cy Young in 252 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: his future. We saw what he did the first half 253 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: of the season. He was lights out, he was untouchable. 254 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: And now that he has that slider you know, in 255 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: his bag, and he's becoming a more seasoned pitcher, not 256 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: just a thrower, a pitcher, then you know, the sky's 257 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: the limit. He's got Garrett Cole there to tutor him 258 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: and help him out. Matt Blake is regarded as one 259 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: of the best pitching coaches in the business, and the 260 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: Yankees have some of the best technology in the business. 261 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: You know that behind the scenes, they're able to look 262 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: at everything. So I'm confident that they're gonna get the 263 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: most out of Louis Heal, and I'm loving the energy 264 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: he brings. I'm loving the fastball sitting at ninety seven 265 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: ninety eight miles an hour. Slider has been wicked. Was 266 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 2: not as great today because of the rain, but I'm 267 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: not gonna hold that against him. So Louis Heal very 268 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: very strong outing and very very strong season. Let's see here, 269 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: David Smith's Yankees back to the best record in baseball? 270 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 2: Is that true? Let's go ahead and take a look 271 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: at these standings. Actually, haven't looked at the standings today. 272 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: So sixty eight and forty six, five ninety six win percentage. 273 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 2: Guardians are at five eighty eight, the Astros at five 274 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: to eighteen, Mets, sorry, the Phillies at five ninety three, 275 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: So sixty seven and forty six, so they are creeping up. 276 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: But yank, you still have the edge Brewers at five 277 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: sixty three and Dodgers at five seventy nine. So indeed, 278 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 2: that is the best record in baseball. All right, all right, 279 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 2: so let's take a few more comments, few more questions, 280 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 2: few more rants, whatever you guys want. Scotto says, oh no, 281 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: the Astros are coming on, and Framber Valdez last night 282 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: almost threw another no hitter. Look, if you thought the 283 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: Astros were gonna go quietly into the night, as they 284 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: say in Independence Day, I got news for you. That's 285 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 2: not gonna happen. They know how to win, and they 286 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: know that this is a long season and they're not 287 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 2: gonna panic and they're right in this thing. And I 288 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: still think that the World Series goes through Houston, it's 289 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: gonna have to You're gonna have to beat them at 290 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 2: some point. Uh, Yanks prod says, you guys thinks think 291 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 2: Verdugo is gonna stay hot. We'll see he's using the 292 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: left side of the field again. I feel like when 293 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 2: he's at his best, he's hitting those booming doubles to 294 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: left field. You know, he kind of got used to 295 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: that swing in Boston, taking the ball off the monster, 296 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: but he'll also rip one down the line. I think 297 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: he's doing a nice job over the last you know, 298 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: several days. So I don't know if he's back, but 299 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: he's serviceable right now. I mean, he had a period 300 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: there this season where he was playing great and he 301 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: was getting big hit after big hit. He hasn't been 302 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: that guy really since he ran into the wall against 303 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 2: the Orioles. Remember that. I feel like he banged himself 304 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 2: up a little bit. But if he's gonna get to 305 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: eighty five percent of what he was at, you know, 306 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: earlier this year offensively, that will help the Yankees enormously. 307 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 3: So. 308 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: Nathaniel Isaac says the Astros aren't good. They're only a 309 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: couple of games over five hundred, but if you look 310 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: at where they started, they started awful, partially thanks to 311 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: the Yankees, who took four in a row from them 312 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 2: to open the season. But they've crawled their way back 313 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: from way way down in that division. See the Athletics 314 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: settling back in at forty eight and sixty eight. They've 315 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: kind of hit the skids a little bit, pulling up 316 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: the rear. But anyway, Lando Thompson says, Waldo has got 317 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: to get more starts. Keeps hitting home runs. I mean, 318 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 2: it seems like every time we put him in there, 319 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 2: he gets a two hit game or a home run. 320 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: But somehow you look up in his ops' is like 321 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: six forty nine or whatever it is. Let me pull 322 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: up his ops real quick and I'll tell you what 323 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: it is, because it seems to me like every time 324 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 2: we talk about him, it's because he just got two 325 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: hits or just had a big home run. Only seven 326 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 2: home runs this year. His ops is six forty six. 327 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's respectable. He's hitting two forty. It's not 328 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: as bad as he was last year. But I mean 329 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: he's not blowing the doors down. But I mean I'm 330 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: all in favor of giving it more at bats because 331 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: he just seems like he brings the team up a 332 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 2: little bit when he's in there.
