Speaker 1: Just wanted to cook at gold.
Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back? All right? Yankees win
Speaker 2: this one game one hundred and seventeen in the books.
Speaker 2: The Yankees win their second straight against the Braves, five
Speaker 2: to four. And you know that's something that can happen
Speaker 2: when you're on a winning streak, is that when it
Speaker 2: finally gets snapped, you can lose a couple of games
Speaker 2: in a row. We've seen it happen to the Yankees before,
Speaker 2: and it has happened to the Braves who had one
Speaker 2: to eight straight before coming to Yankee Stadium. And the Yankees,
Speaker 2: despite not getting a lot of offense in this series,
Speaker 2: have managed to get enough, just enough to win last
Speaker 2: night and tonight. And Chris Saylee, one of the best
Speaker 2: pitchers in baseball, just simply nasty, Just a simply nasty pitcher.
Speaker 2: He's lanky, his delivery is funky, and he's just been
Speaker 2: doing it a long time, so he knows how to win.
Speaker 2: I did not have a lot of confidence in the Yankees,
Speaker 2: in the lefties to get it done against him today,
Speaker 2: but hey, they surprised the hell out of me. And
Speaker 2: a great job by the Anks. And Garrett Cole was
Speaker 2: fantastic today, picks up win number six, lowers his era
Speaker 2: to three point three to five. David Bednar picks up
Speaker 2: save number twenty six.
Speaker 3: He's got titanium nuts.
Speaker 2: Very good day for Spencer Jones, who had a multiple
Speaker 2: multiple hit game. He also had a triple, a couple
Speaker 2: of RBIs, a run scored, a stolen base. George Lombard
Speaker 2: Junior hit his second home run. He had a multi
Speaker 2: hit game. A Kunya hit a line drive home run
Speaker 2: for the Braves, but a couple of stories were won.
Speaker 2: The absolutely phenomenal game by Garrett Cole. Just throw a gem.
Speaker 2: Ben Rice broke out of his slump a little bit
Speaker 2: last night with the shot off the wall, and today
Speaker 2: maybe getting back into the groove a little bit, he
Speaker 2: hit a four hundred and thirty one foot home run
Speaker 2: to straightaway center field. I mean that is real power.
Speaker 2: You don't see a lot of lefties do that. Home
Speaker 2: run number thirty two on the season. Uh. He has
Speaker 2: been uh slumping badly. So that was a big, big
Speaker 2: home run for mister Ben Rice, and I think it's
Speaker 2: time to talk good bad in the Ugly.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Paul Goldsmith had a knock today. Elliott Ramos was OH
Speaker 2: for four. Ben Rice with the home run, was one
Speaker 2: for four. Amed Rosario was OH for three. Trent Grisham
Speaker 2: one for four with a double, Lombard Junior fantastic game,
Speaker 2: two for three, Spencer Jones two for three. I didn't
Speaker 2: expect the lefties to be as good as they were today.
Speaker 2: Both Grisham and Spencer Jones had some good at bats
Speaker 2: against Chris sale cab i Ara oh for three. He
Speaker 2: gets the silver sombrero. He did have a stolen base,
Speaker 2: and Austin Wells one for two with another double. He
Speaker 2: went opoh with a double down the left field line.
Speaker 2: He also had a stolen base for the Braves. Drake
Speaker 2: Baldwin had a base hit. Ronald Acunya with the home
Speaker 2: run That was his only hit of the day. A
Speaker 2: tough day from Matt Olsen, he went over four. Michael
Speaker 2: Harris won for four, Ozzie Albie's one for four. H
Speaker 2: Dubond had a double, Yastremsky had a double, Riley had
Speaker 2: a knock. Jim Jarvis had to hit Dominic Smith with
Speaker 2: a pinch hit RBI single, But the Yankees edge out
Speaker 2: the Braves. That is the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Speaker 2: Raymond Vellens' Cabby is playing like he's angry. I don't
Speaker 2: blame him. You know, he was a certain shortstop for
Speaker 2: a while and then a kid comes up and snatches it.
Speaker 2: What a job by Lombard. Those are the breaks. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's life in Major League Baseball. You know there's gonna
Speaker 2: be players that come up and if they outplay you,
Speaker 2: they're gonna take the job. And Lombard has done that.
Speaker 2: So far. He has been brilliant so far, hitting three
Speaker 2: eighty five with a one point three four to six
Speaker 2: OPS and a one eighty six WRC plus. Today he
Speaker 2: went opo bopo for his second home run. He has
Speaker 2: been dynamic at shortstop, almost automatic, I mean, smooth as silk,
Speaker 2: unbelievable arm. What can you say about the kid? He's ready.
Speaker 2: The question was whether or not his offense was gonna
Speaker 2: be ready, because the reports coming out of the minor
Speaker 2: leagues were that he was a tremendous defensive player that
Speaker 2: he could step in and be top of the depth
Speaker 2: chart at shortstop. Day one, The question was would he
Speaker 2: hit enough? And so far, I've seen line drives, I've
Speaker 2: seen home runs. The kid looks comfortable. What can you say,
Speaker 2: and Spencer Jones, we got to talk about him. I'm
Speaker 2: just impressed about what he did against the lefty. He
Speaker 2: was zero for nineteen coming into this game, and then
Speaker 2: he gets two hits off of the lefty, raised his
Speaker 2: average up to two seventeen. I mean, the number is
Speaker 2: still not outrageously good, but he's still, you know, young
Speaker 2: and inexperienced, and but we saw him stay in there today.
Speaker 2: He wasn't taking wild swings. He took more controlled swing
Speaker 2: and if he does that, he's gonna have success. He's
Speaker 2: one of these guys who's naturally going to create leverage
Speaker 2: with his size and his arm length that if he connects,
Speaker 2: he is going to drive the baseball. He does not
Speaker 2: need to swing out of his shoes or in most instances,
Speaker 2: out of his helmet right as we uh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: coicked the wrong button there. Take a look at the
Speaker 2: box score in this game, so you see the pulsating
Speaker 2: bombs from Rice and Lombard and Acuna. Those were the
Speaker 2: three home runs. The Yankees did have eight hits in
Speaker 2: this game. They struck out quite a bit, but you'll
Speaker 2: get these averages. It's it's pretty tough to watch some
Speaker 2: of these averages here you got two thirty one, ten,
Speaker 2: two seventeen, one seventy three. Hopefully they can put something
Speaker 2: together and ride things out until the big bets come back.
Speaker 2: Cole with a great job, seven innings of two run, balls,
Speaker 2: struck out nine, didn't walk anybody. I'll break him down
Speaker 2: more later. Brent gave up the rare earned run today,
Speaker 2: Blackburn got it out and Bednar got the save. Extra
Speaker 2: base hits for Grisham and Wells and Jones, and home
Speaker 2: runs for Lombard and Rice, and the Yankees improved to
Speaker 2: sixty six and fifty one. There fifteen games over five
Speaker 2: hundred with this win. All right, second, a few comments here. Raymonds,
Speaker 2: Raymond's on a roll today, says no jazz equals win. Yikes.
Speaker 2: Jay Snow says, this team always strikes out a lot.
Speaker 2: We'll get to the breakdown. Let's go ahead and go
Speaker 2: to the nitty gritty here, So go figure. Baseball is
Speaker 2: one of these games where just stuff that you're not
Speaker 2: expecting can happen. And today you got two of your
Speaker 2: coldest hitters, Jones who was over nineteen and Grisham, who
Speaker 2: I think he was like nine for seventy four or
Speaker 2: something like some ridiculous number. Both got hits off of
Speaker 2: Chris Sale. You had the double, which is not a
Speaker 2: good pitch by Grisham, you know, but or not a
Speaker 2: good pitch by Sale, but Grisham smoked it to center field,
Speaker 2: and then kind of a jam shot base hit for
Speaker 2: Spencer Jones. The triple by Jones I thought was hit better. Obviously.
Speaker 2: Braves got on the board with a double by Us
Speaker 2: Streemsky in the fifth inning. Honestly, not a good route
Speaker 2: by Elliott Ramos and left field, he had a bad
Speaker 2: day aside from being oh for offensively, just didn't play
Speaker 2: that ball well in left field. But the Braves put
Speaker 2: together a little bit of a rally, but then Cole
Speaker 2: shut it down and pitched great from there on out.
Speaker 2: A couple of good challenges today by Lombard. He had
Speaker 2: some very patient bats. He took some close pitches. He
Speaker 2: challenged two pitches and won at bat which I thought
Speaker 2: was awesome, and one of them, you know, he won
Speaker 2: and ended up coming all the way around from first
Speaker 2: to score on the triple. So that was a big,
Speaker 2: big play in the game. Spencer Jones taking third base
Speaker 2: was huge because then he was able to score on
Speaker 2: the bock. We had Weiss get ejected the manager for
Speaker 2: the Braves. Austin Wells going opposite field with a double.
Speaker 2: I thought that was one of his better pieces of
Speaker 2: hitting all season. You know, last night was a great
Speaker 2: piece of hitting too, when he ripped it into the corner.
Speaker 2: We're starting to see more line drives from Austin Wells,
Speaker 2: and that is good to see. We absolutely need that.
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at Wells here. As he is
Speaker 2: one for two, he raises his average up to one
Speaker 2: seventy three. The WRC plus is still at fifty nine,
Speaker 2: which is not good. Still seventeen RBIs, which is, you know,
Speaker 2: not ideal for August eighth. But hey, you can't do
Speaker 2: anything about the slow first few months. All you can
Speaker 2: do is finish out strong, especially since the Yankees did
Speaker 2: not make an upgrade at catcher. So I'm rooting for him.
Speaker 2: I'm a Yankees fan. I want him to do well,
Speaker 2: and it's a good thing that he is starting to
Speaker 2: hit a little bit. Lombard Junior with the opposite field
Speaker 2: home run second of the year, it's good that he's
Speaker 2: using right field. He's the homer now once to left,
Speaker 2: once to right. So he's using the whole field, and hey,
Speaker 2: kid looks comfortable. Kid looks comfortable. Get your belt votes.
Speaker 2: In the chat, we'll take a little look at the
Speaker 2: notable players here the candidates, if you will, Spencer Jones
Speaker 2: a top candidate, Lombard A top candidate, Ben Rice with
Speaker 2: home run number thirty two. Garrett Cole dominated David Bednar
Speaker 2: with to save even though he allowed to run. Blackburn
Speaker 2: and Hendrick also pitched in this game. Let me know
Speaker 2: who you want for the belt. In the chat, let's
Speaker 2: hear from John sterling Oh name over Yankees Winshank and
Speaker 2: we got some good news. The A's are actually leading
Speaker 2: the Red Sox in the seventh innings. So presuming that
Speaker 2: the Red Sox don't come back, the Yankees will create
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of space there in the wild
Speaker 2: card race. I haven't seen what the Razer are doing.
Speaker 2: We'll take a look in just a second belt today,
Speaker 2: I had to go with my boy, Spencer Jones. Cole
Speaker 2: was phenomenal. We we're gonna give the honorable mention. Lombard
Speaker 2: gets an honorable mention, But Spencer Jones breaking out of
Speaker 2: an over nineteen getting two RBIs basically that's the difference.
Speaker 2: Triple stole a base How could you not love what
Speaker 2: he did today? Totally fantastic. That's his second belt of
Speaker 2: the season. He passes Frankie Baseball tough Frankie. So congrats
Speaker 2: to Spencer Jones. All right, talk a little bit about
Speaker 2: Garrett Cole. First four innings were tremendous for Garrett Cole.
Speaker 2: Ran into some trouble in the fifth, ended up surrendering
Speaker 2: the lead. Also picked up his one thousand strikeout. Congratulations
Speaker 2: on that. The big takeaway from me for Garrett Cole
Speaker 2: today was that he looked under control. This looked like
Speaker 2: vintage Cole. This looked like pre Tommy John surgery. This
Speaker 2: looked like pre elbow edema Garrett Cole. This was as
Speaker 2: good as he has looked since his Young Awards season.
Speaker 2: Seven innings, five hits, two runs, no walks, nine strikeouts
Speaker 2: on just eighty two pitches, so he was extremely efficient.
Speaker 2: Sixty of eighty two pitches for strikes, that's seventy three percent.
Speaker 2: Two thirds of his pitch ones were strike one at
Speaker 2: sixty seven percent, so a few things really stand out.
Speaker 2: He trusted the fastball today, forty seven fastballs he averaged
Speaker 2: ninety six point seven, which is essentially identical to his
Speaker 2: season average. He topped out at ninety eight point eight.
Speaker 2: The slider was good. He got four swings and misses
Speaker 2: on nine sliders. He didn't need to throw out twenty
Speaker 2: five times. It was there when he needed it. Zero
Speaker 2: walks against a very good Braves lineup, and honestly, putting
Speaker 2: it back together after that tough inning was huge. The
Speaker 2: only way that you could hurt him together today was
Speaker 2: rallying together some hits. That's the only way he was
Speaker 2: hurt because he was keeping the ball in the ballpark
Speaker 2: and he was essentially keeping the Braves off balance. Nice
Speaker 2: performance by Garret Cole, very impressive. Eddie says, have we
Speaker 2: come up with a nickname for Lumbar Junior yet? I
Speaker 2: haven't seen any great ones yet. But I liked how
Speaker 2: I liked how Boone called him the puma. I think
Speaker 2: the puma could be a decent nickname. We'll see if
Speaker 2: that sticks. Baseball so full of good nicknames. I don't
Speaker 2: think anybody will ever beat the big Unit. I think
Speaker 2: that's the greatest nickname all right. So we look at
Speaker 2: the game breakdown. A lot of strikeouts again for the
Speaker 2: Yankees today thirteen strikeouts, they did leave six on base.
Speaker 2: They went one for eight with runners in scoring position.
Speaker 2: All problems, but they were able to get the win regardless,
Speaker 2: five to four. Top exit vel ow of the day
Speaker 2: with Spencer Jones one eleven point one. He hits the
Speaker 2: ball very very hard. Yankees' pitcher struck out ten and
Speaker 2: only walked one, and the top pitch velocity was ninety
Speaker 2: eight point eight by Garrett Cole. Hell of a jobs.
Speaker 2: We take a look at the division so Athletics leading
Speaker 2: the Red Sox to two, Blue Jays beating the Phillies
Speaker 2: one to nothing. Rais and Mariners later Orioles Rangers later?
Speaker 2: Who cares about that? But uh yeah, we're rooting for
Speaker 2: the A's to finish this one off. Looks like Luis Medina,
Speaker 2: former Yankee, Hey in the game, don't let us down.
Speaker 2: Yankees four games back in the American League East, hoping
Speaker 2: that the Mariners behind George Kirby can take down the
Speaker 2: Rays tonight. All right, let's take a few voicemails here.
Speaker 1: JJ, Hey, Derek JJ from Wolfbare, Pennsylvania has always loved
Speaker 1: your show.
Speaker 4: Cabiello pissed me off tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, how about we just get in there, get set,
Speaker 1: get ready for the pitch.
Speaker 4: And fucking swing. So theatrical reminds me of Chaz Jism.
Speaker 2: These two guys, all right, that's enough JJ Yankees one.
Speaker 2: I don't want to play all the negative shit. So
Speaker 2: Cabair obviously didn't have a good day playing a little
Speaker 2: pissed off as somebody mentioned, but an irritant and that's
Speaker 2: by design. Here's Brian, you know what's going on.
Speaker 3: Derek had to say. I loved the game that Jones
Speaker 3: and Lombard both had out there today. If we can
Speaker 3: start getting you know, the youth movement coming up through
Speaker 3: the system and jet some life and these guys can
Speaker 3: actually play decent for a change instead of all these
Speaker 3: other guys that have been playing terrible for three months straight. Now,
Speaker 3: I don't see how that can be a bad thing.
Speaker 3: It's looks like it's actually kind of getting the rest
Speaker 3: of the team motivated a little bit to pick their
Speaker 3: game up. Hopefully these guys can be benchmarks on this
Speaker 3: team for the future and for years to come. Love
Speaker 3: to hear what you have to think about, man, and.
Speaker 4: Let's go Yanks.
Speaker 2: One of the most rewarding things about being any sport fan,
Speaker 2: not just baseball, is seeing young players contribute. You know,
Speaker 2: in a lot of sports, you draft somebody in the
Speaker 2: first round, they're in the lineup the next year. They're
Speaker 2: making a big difference, you know, whether it's an NFL
Speaker 2: player or a basketball player. In baseball, it takes a while.
Speaker 2: It can take three or four years. Lombard, we've been
Speaker 2: hearing about how good he was since day one, but
Speaker 2: we hear that about a lot of prospects. Spencer Jones,
Speaker 2: we've been here hearing about the athleticism and the power
Speaker 2: and so on and so forth. We're starting to see
Speaker 2: some of that now. We're starting to see that translate
Speaker 2: into wins at the big league level. And there's been
Speaker 2: some other young guys that haven't made it right. Lombard
Speaker 2: has been great, Volpie not so much. Spencer Jones been okay.
Speaker 2: Deming guys got off to that hot start in the
Speaker 2: major leagues, but not so good anymore. And a reminder
Speaker 2: that making it to the leagues is hard, but staying
Speaker 2: there is even harder, and the league is going to
Speaker 2: continue to adjust to these guys and make it difficult
Speaker 2: for these guys to make gains every day. I have
Speaker 2: a friend who's over who watched the game with me, Tod.
Speaker 2: He's not much of a sports fan, but I was
Speaker 2: trying to explain to him. I was like, imagine, he's
Speaker 2: a big video game guy and he plays like Street
Speaker 2: Fighter and so on, and I was trying to explain
Speaker 2: to him. I was like, imagine it was somebody's job
Speaker 2: to just study your Street Fighter games and try and
Speaker 2: figure out ways to counter your moves and to beat you.
Speaker 2: That's what these guys are dealing with. You know you're
Speaker 2: doing your job, Okay, Imagine that there's somebody studying how
Speaker 2: you do your job. Teams of people studying how you
Speaker 2: do your job and trying to find a way to
Speaker 2: make you do it worse. That's a tough position, man.
Speaker 2: That is a tough thing to deal with. And it's
Speaker 2: on the Yankees coaches. And you know, my cat is
Speaker 2: behind me. He wants to get involved in the discussion. Hey, Dexter,
Speaker 2: But anyway, it's on the Yankees coaches to make sure
Speaker 2: this guy makes the correct adjustments as the times come along.
Speaker 4: His call praise.
Speaker 1: Derek is the professor from Fort Lee, New Jersey, calling
Speaker 1: with a little different message like everybody to, you know,
Speaker 1: pray or meditate for Tommy John. He's eighty three. He's
Speaker 1: not doing too well. He's got bladder cancer. I caught
Speaker 1: for Tommy John way back in the eighties up at
Speaker 1: William Patterson College in New Jersey, and my thoughts with
Speaker 1: him and his family and prayers as well. So I
Speaker 1: just wanted to give that thought out and thank you
Speaker 1: very much for all you do. Take that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to Tommy John, who obviously a huge
Speaker 2: impact on baseball and the surgery that he had was revolutionary.
Speaker 2: And if you haven't a chance to read his letter,
Speaker 2: he wrote kind of like a goodbye, thank you letter.
Speaker 2: And by the way, Old Timer's as you probably mention that,
Speaker 2: I'm finding it harder and harder to watch Old Timer's
Speaker 2: Day because a lot of the guys that I watched
Speaker 2: are just like you get to watch them age and
Speaker 2: it's hard. It's hard to watch them, you know, it's
Speaker 2: hard to watch some of these guys struggle to get
Speaker 2: around the field. I used to love it, you know,
Speaker 2: getting to see Manele and DiMaggio and all these guys
Speaker 2: I never got a chance to watch. Now it's a
Speaker 2: little bit awkward. As you get older. It just makes
Speaker 2: you feel it makes you feel older. I still like
Speaker 2: seeing everybody. I like hearing the applause, and you know,
Speaker 2: seeing people get their recognition and it's fun for them
Speaker 2: to get back out on the field. Matt Suwey looks great,
Speaker 2: you know. But again it's it's difficult for me to
Speaker 2: enjoy it because it's a reminder of our own impending
Speaker 2: aging and and that we're all rotting, and that life
Speaker 2: is a carnival of pain. Here's anohing call about Lombard.
Speaker 4: Hey Ark, I'm sold on George Lombard. He had a
Speaker 4: nine pitch at that he struck out in that one,
Speaker 4: got an eight pitch at that worth a walk, so
Speaker 4: rally as a home run I needed in my lead off.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with you. I think he could end
Speaker 2: up being a leadoff guy, but I don't think that
Speaker 2: they're gonna do it right away. So far, he's only
Speaker 2: played in four games, got five hits, so he's doing
Speaker 2: well with runners on. He's won for three with runners
Speaker 2: in scoring positions. Still zero for two close and late
Speaker 2: one for two with a home run, so that's pretty
Speaker 2: good against lefties. Only one for two against righty's four
Speaker 2: for eleven, with both of his home runs with the
Speaker 2: bases empty four for ten, and he's only played at
Speaker 2: home so far five for thirteen, so no road splits.
Speaker 2: But hey, I think he's a really really good player.
Speaker 2: I think eventually he could be the leadoff man. But
Speaker 2: right now I'm comfortable leaving him where he is and
Speaker 2: letting him develop. One more time from John Sterling, whole
Speaker 2: game over, Yanks wins YAKA. Somebody says Georgie Porgy for
Speaker 2: the uh nickname summer oat George. All right, guys, I
Speaker 2: mentioned I got a friend over. We're just gonna go
Speaker 2: have a couple of cigars and enjoy our Saturday night.
Speaker 2: Saturday Night. I enjoy you to or I employ you,
Speaker 2: implore you. I'm having trouble today, I implore you to
Speaker 2: do the same. Enjoy your Saturday night. Yankees one. They've
Speaker 2: won two straight against a really good team and looks
Speaker 2: like the Red Sox are gonna lose. So whatever you
Speaker 2: do to relax, take a load off. It's Saturday evening.
Speaker 2: You deserve it. I'll see you right back here tomorrow. Hey,
