It's a little cloudy in sixty one 26 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: degrees fahrenheit in Los Angeles at this moment, but hopefully 27 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 2: it'll be nice out tomorrow. 28 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: Usually it is. 29 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: I'm glad you're finally using the correct way we measure 30 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: temperature here. So hey, before we get to the highlights, 31 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: we got to wish a happy birthday to Alex Verdugo, 32 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: and we gotta mention Oswald Parraza hit his third home 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: run in six rehab games tonight. It's amazing how much 34 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: he tears up the minor leagues. He hasn't really put 35 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 3: it together in the major leagues yet, but he hasn't 36 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: really had a ton of opportunities. He's had a couple 37 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: of short stints where he just hasn't gotten it going. 38 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see how he factors into this 39 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 3: team going forward. All right, let's get to the video 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 3: tape tonight. I'm gonna turn it over to TK for 41 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: the highlights. 42 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: All right, So it was nice win tonight, obviously nice 43 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: and Chris for nothing to see Aaron Judge hitting the 44 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 2: bomb there. I actually wasn't really paying attention to the game. 45 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: I'm still kind of getting settled in there checking some emails, 46 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: and I just heard it and I looked up on 47 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 2: my screen, so it's like, yeah, that was gone in 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 2: a hurry right there. I mean, that was just it's 49 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: one of those ones that he hits where it's just 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: you know immediately, and he knew pretty much immediately too. 51 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: He's not really a bat flipper, but he just puts 52 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: the bat down and kind of puts his head down 53 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: and gets it going on the home run trot there. 54 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: And then yes, Stroman with a nice night last tonight, 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: you know, nice line, kind of like a lucky start 56 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 2: where a lot of balls are hit in the air 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: and just finding guy's gloves. But hey, you got it done. 58 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: Gotten a few jams a couple of times, but he. 59 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: Got out of them. And you gotta like what you've 60 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: seen from Stroman so far this year. 61 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: Volpie with another hit tonight as well, extending his hitting 62 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: Street in their castro. I believe it was just falling 63 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: asleep there giving the Yankees a run that was pretty embarrassing, 64 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: and the major leagues just look up, you can see 65 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: what the how many outs there are Juan Soto there 66 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: with a nice gram and oh man, that was filthy 67 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: slider right there. But yeah, gotta be happy with how 68 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: the Yankees have been performing of late. It's amazing how 69 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: much they just own this team. With the twins there, 70 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: it almost makes me scared to see them in October. 71 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: If you believe in do. But I really don't really 72 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: think it's that concerning, just because I think we're like, 73 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: what one hundred and fourteen we had like one hundred 74 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: and fourteen wins against them since two thousand and two. 75 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: I mean, that's just one hundred and sixteen wins I 76 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 2: believe it is or one hundred and eighteen something around there. 77 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. 78 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 3: Domination, pure domination for sure. 79 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: Standing with another nice night, broken bat there, the judge, 80 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: Man judge starting to heat up all those doubters saying, 81 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: oh yeah, you know the toes bothering him, he's not 82 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: playing that well. Well, look at him now, he's in 83 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 2: like the last like two weeks, he's quietly inserted himself 84 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: in the MVP race. 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: I'm sure in like two weeks from now, he's. 86 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,679 Speaker 2: Probably gonna be up there with Kyle Tucker for home runs, 87 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: leading leading the league in home runs. So that was 88 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: another misplayed ball by cashrup Man. That was a rough 89 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: night for him man. 90 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, absolutely atrocious night.

I want to show you 96 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 3: something TK. So I got this new McFarlane Yankees Aaron 97 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 3: Judge figure. This came today. This is not a sponsorship, 98 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 3: This is not paid at I just thought it was 99 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: really cool. I collect these. I know a lot of 100 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 3: Yankees fans collect these, and the detail is just incredible. 101 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: So I wanted to give them some props. They haven't 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: been doing a lot of baseball figures in recent years, 103 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: but this one came out. It looks amazing. Does not 104 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: have the Star insurance on the arm, but detail is fantastic. 105 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: So since it came in the mail, Aaron Judge is 106 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: four for four with a walk. 107 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: Adding one thousand. 108 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, he is now hitting three seventy eight in May 109 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 3: with five home runs in forty five at bats. His 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 3: on base percentage in May is over four point fifty. 111 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: He's slugging over seven hundred. He just continues to mash 112 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 3: the baseball and the ops as you see, creeping up 113 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 3: towards a thousand, like you said, getting himself back into 114 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 3: the mix for MVP. As we go forward and first inning, 115 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: this one requires a closer look. I'm sure you're gonna 116 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: see it a lot over the next few days. But 117 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: four hundred and sixty seven feet that's another home runs 118 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: for job. Oh rock, good job, man. He just opens 119 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 3: up those hips and annihilates it. You said it well 120 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 3: when you texted me that ball had a family. Cole 121 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: Tucker entered tonight's game as the league leader in home 122 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: runs with thirteen over under ten games before Aaron Judge 123 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: is in sole possession of the MLB home run lead. 124 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 2: It's tough call because ten games, like I'm gonna go 125 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: with under just the way he's swinging the bat right now, 126 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 2: and when Judge gets hot, and we've seen in the 127 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: past when he gets hot, he gets hot like. 128 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: He's just hitting them all over the place. He's kind 129 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,559 Speaker 1: of like standing that way. 130 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: But Yeah, I'm gonna go with under Maybe it's like 131 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: nine games or so, but he's he's swinging the bats 132 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: so well right now. I have every confidence that he will, 133 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 2: just because we've seen it from him in the past. 134 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's about to have one of those 135 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: weeks like we've seen him have in the last couple 136 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: of years, where he hits, you know, five or six 137 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: home runs. I think he can honestly pass Tucker by 138 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: next week. So I'm gonna say Tuesday, So six games, 139 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: six games from now, I think there's a two home 140 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 3: run game in there somewhere, maybe maybe two of them, 141 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: or maybe a three home run game. Like the way 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: he was seeing the ball tonight was locked in. I 143 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: mean not just the home run. He had the double 144 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: off the wall in right center, and then he hit 145 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 3: a bullet line drive over Castro and center field. Castro 146 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: had an awful night. Yankees got their second run on 147 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 3: a boneheaded play. So runners on second and third, fly 148 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: ball to shallow center, and he comes in and he 149 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: catches it and just starts jogging towards the dug out. 150 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: I'll tell you a second day in a row, looked 151 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: like a total asshole out there. But we will take it. 152 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 3: H Judge ripped on off the right field wall and 153 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: his second at bat. Verdugo followed up with his second 154 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: hit on his birthday, and then John Carlos Stanton picked 155 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: up a broken bat single to make it three nothing 156 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: eleventh hit with runners in scoring position TK eleventh hit. 157 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 3: He's been clutched this year, and stan is quietly putting 158 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: up respectable numbers. He's hitting two forty three, He's got 159 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 3: a seven to sixty four. Ops. What are you thinking 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: about what we're seeing from Stanton this year? 161 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: Listen, I think he's just making the conversation about you know, 162 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: when Domingus comes back, what are they gonna do? I 163 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 2: mean with if Stanton keeps playing this way, it's probably 164 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: gonna be Dimingus is gonna start back in Triple A 165 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 2: when he's fully back from his injury. But uh, if 166 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: stant Is gonna hit between two thirty and two forty 167 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: this year and give you about like thirty thirty five 168 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: home runs, I think you sign up for that, especially 169 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: if he stays healthy. 170 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: Healthy is always health. 171 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 2: Has always been a concern for him, but we've never 172 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: really seen him have this build physically. He obviously made 173 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: a lot of changes to his body this offseason, so 174 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: we're still looking to see how he performs as the 175 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: season progresses. But so far, it looks like he's working 176 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: and looks like he's staying on the field. Look, he 177 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 2: can't run for shit. We know that it's it's just 178 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: pretty it's pretty bad. But if he's going to swing 179 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: the bat that way, especially in the clutch, stands already 180 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: proven that if he's anything, he's clutch. And you'll take 181 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: that all day, especially especially from Yankee fans. We have 182 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: a bit of a bit of a thing for clutch players, 183 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: if you will, a little special place in our hearts 184 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 2: for them. So I've been pretty happy with what I've 185 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: seen from him, and he's definitely, I guess, proved the 186 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: doubters wrong so far. Biggest question mark is going to 187 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: be health, and if he ends up getting hurt, then 188 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: I guess that kind of solves the Domingus conundrum, right, 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: So we'll see how it goes, how it goes as 190 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 2: it progresses. 191 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: I'm liking that he's still got the highest bat speed. 192 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: That means the power is going to be there, you know, 193 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: as long as the reaction time is there, which you 194 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 3: know that can dip as you get older, but right now, 195 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: the power is there, the threat is there. You know, 196 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: he's on pace for about thirty five home runs, and 197 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: you'll take like, right now he's hitting two forty three. 198 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: I would you sign up for two forty three for 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 3: the full season from Stanton with thirty five homers? Absolutely? Absolutely. 200 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: I don't think any of us would. And I don't 201 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 3: think I would even mind Domingez getting a little bit 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: more time in the minor leaguees a couple of months, 203 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 3: and then you call him up in September. If Stanton 204 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 3: continues to hit like this, if we continue to get 205 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: production from everybody like this, now, Verdugo's hitting two forty eight, 206 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 3: he's not tearing the cover off the ball, but he's 207 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: a good left fielder. He's not going anywhere obviously, Judge 208 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 3: is not going anywhere, and Sodo's not going anywhere. So 209 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: barring injury, there's nowhere for Dominguez to play. But I 210 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 3: think once September rolls around, he can kind of give 211 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 3: guys a day off. Will be at that point where 212 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: we're loading up for the playoffs and we want to 213 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 3: give guys more rest, and even though we're making an effort, 214 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 3: you know, for guys to play pretty much every day. 215 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: By that point in the season, I think guys are 216 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: just gonna be banged up. I mean, there's it's inevitable. 217 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: So I think we're gonna see Demingez, but it might 218 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: not be for a while. If Stanton continues to play 219 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 3: like this, And hey, I want the Yankees to win. 220 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 3: I don't care what combination of twenty six guys or 221 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: forty guys it takes for the Yankees to win. I 222 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 3: want them to win. If Domingaz is the guy, if 223 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: Stanton is the guy, if Verdugo's the guy. As long 224 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: as we're raising the trophy, I don't give a shit. 225 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 3: So Top five Judge ripped another double, his second double 226 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 3: the night, third extra base hit in the night. He 227 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: had four hits, all of them extra base hits. He 228 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 3: also had a walk, second four extra base hit game 229 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 3: of his career. TK. I think he is getting ready 230 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: to go on one of those streaks. 231 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 2: Certainly looks like it. He's swinging the bats so much better. 232 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 2: And also I think I noticed this. Does it look 233 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: like he closed his stance a bit more From the 234 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 2: beginning of the season, I noticed that his feet were 235 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: a little bit more lined up straight tonight as they 236 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: were opposed to the earlier in the season. 237 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I believe, I don't know, I'm wrong. 238 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: It might be. It also could be the camera angle, 239 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: Like every ballpark has a slightly different center field camera angle, 240 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 3: and I feel like the one where it's more aligned 241 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 3: right behind center, right behind the pitcher's mound, it looks 242 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 3: like he's more closed. But I really can't tell a difference, honestly. 243 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I mean, look, if he did something mechanically, 244 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: whatever the hell he did. If he, you know, did 245 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: change his mechanics, changed his stance, or he just sort 246 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: of had a cup of coffee one morning and just 247 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: woke up different, I don't know. But whatever he did, 248 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: it's working. So I don't really care what he did. 249 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: The important thing is that he identified the problem and 250 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: he fixed it, and he's playing like Aaron Judge plays. 251 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 3: And he's hitting absolute nukes like this home run at 252 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 3: the end of the homestand four hundred and seventy three feet. 253 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 3: He went four to sixty seven tonight. That's how you 254 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: know he's fine, guys. The toe is fine, he's running well, 255 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: he's running good in center field. Everything is you know, 256 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: in the green right now for Aaron Judge, and he 257 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: is gonna have a monster year. Mark my words. He's 258 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 3: getting fifty plus home runs again. He's probably gonna hit 259 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: two eighty or better again. He's gonna walk close to 260 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: one hundred times. So I love what we're seeing from AJ. 261 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 3: All right, so let's talk about Marcus Stroman. He was 262 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: done after six innings, really solid tonight. Six innings, two hits, 263 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: no runs, three walks, two strikeouts, you know, just the 264 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 3: two hits allowed. I thought he had some base runners 265 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: here and there, but he never really seemed like, you know, 266 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: he got into any kind of serious trouble. T K. 267 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 3: How you feeling about Stroman this year? As you see 268 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: the numbers there on the screen. 269 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: You gotta be pretty happy with the numbers. 270 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 2: I think what his issue has been in the past is, 271 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: especially last season with the Cubs, he was like an 272 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 2: All Star for the first half of the year, and 273 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: then the second half of the year he totally fell 274 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 2: off a cliff. He's not a guy who's going to 275 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 2: strike out a ton of people. He doesn't have overpowering stuff. 276 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: But he's a guy who's gonna get guys out and 277 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: he's gonna eat innings, So it's just what you want. 278 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 2: And he's been pretty much everything that you could ask 279 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: for at. 280 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: The moment for the Yankees this season. 281 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: He's kind of got that bulldog mentality on the mound. 282 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: You can tell he wants to be here. He lives 283 00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: for the big moment. You can tell. 284 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: I remember his first start at Yankee Stadium. He was 285 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: walking out in the outfield like pumping up the crowd. 286 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: I definitely feel like when we get to October, if 287 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: you get to start, which I anticipate that he would, 288 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: when he gets to start, he's definitely gonna be feeling 289 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: that energy and pumping up the crowds. So he's one 290 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: of those guys that's like living for the moment, which 291 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: I really like. So I used to hate him too 292 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: when he was in Toronto, but now I love him. 293 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: There's not funny how that works out. 294 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like what you said about him pitching in 295 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs. Who I really feel like he is one 296 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: of those guys who would feed off the energy of 297 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: the And you know who else is one of those 298 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: guys Juan Soto and so would so is Verdugo. Like 299 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: I honestly this feels on his team. Ro Don. Yeah, 300 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: this feels like one of those teams where if you 301 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: get to the playoffs, they've got that it factor, right 302 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 3: m hm. 303 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: Oh no, for sure, they got a for the word 304 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: for that. They got a bunch of dogs on the team. 305 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: That's what the that's what this is, this whole thing 306 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: that they're doing whenever they get this year one year, 307 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: this year, it's all right. 308 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: So that's the thing that's a mantra this year. 309 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: I love it. So. Luke Weaver pitched scoreless innings in relief. 310 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: He continues to look really good. Give him a couple 311 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 3: of hits, but at three strikeouts, he's got a two 312 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 3: point twenty five e RA zero point six to eight whip. 313 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: I mean phenomenal to me. I see a little bit 314 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: of Chad Green in him, the way they're using him, 315 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: and just the stuff. The way the fastball rides through 316 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: the zone right now, and the changeup has been filthy. 317 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: Volpi singled in the top of the ninth to extend 318 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 3: his hitting streak to eight games. That was the Yankees' 319 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: thirteenth hit, final hit of the night. So they're just 320 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 3: picking up a lot more knocks this year than they 321 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: did at any point last season, and once again, John 322 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: Sterling take it away and correction on Stroman's era. It 323 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 3: went down after I post to the stats. I guess 324 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: MLB didn't have it updated, but it's at three point 325 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 3: three to three, so it's a little slightly lower than 326 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: the three point four to h that I had. Still 327 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: very very good, all right. I don't think there's really 328 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 3: much doubt tonight as to who gets the belt. 329 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: You want to do the honors, drum roll please, I 330 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: think it's got to go to the captain. 331 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: Mister Aaron Judge deserves it. 332 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: Chris Petrillo says, how about Ferguson getting three outs in 333 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: the ninth Hey, minor miracles. Minor miracles happened. He almost 334 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 3: served up a home run. 335 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: Dude, that was scary. That was kind of scary. 336 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: So we were talking about a little bit and we'll 337 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: do an entire podcast about this, but about trade candidates, 338 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 3: and we both mentioned that, you know, Ferguson does not 339 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: give us a lot of confidence out there, to say 340 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 3: the least. That's putting it as nicely as I can 341 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 3: possibly say it. Because my mother taught me to be 342 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: nice to people, and I, you know, if we're being honest. 343 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 3: If the New Yorker comes out of me, he is garbage. 344 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 3: So I don't want I don't want to see him 345 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: in any kind of close games going forward. So I 346 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 3: think that the Yankees need to replace a lefty in 347 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,479 Speaker 3: the bullpen. You mentioned Garrett Crochet, who I like, So 348 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 3: tell us what you like about Crochet. I'm gonna pull 349 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 3: up his numbers. 350 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: I mean, he's got electric stuff, throws really hard, obviously lefty. 351 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: He also hides the ball really well in his delivery, 352 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 2: which is deceptive if I know correctly or not. I 353 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 2: think the White Sox he came up as a reliever. 354 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: I think they turned him into a starter this year, 355 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: but that's just because the White Sox have like nobody 356 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: on their team. But he's He's got more reliever stuff. 357 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: He's also really tall, which I think is an underrated 358 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: part about a good pitcher, because it makes the stride 359 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: longer and the release point is higher, so the angle 360 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 2: is kind of darting down more. He's definitely a guy 361 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,959 Speaker 2: that I would look at if I were the Yankees. 362 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 2: The White Sox are definitely gonna be sellers. They have 363 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 2: no hope this season. They're fucking awful, but you know 364 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: where you can see where they're at. But as far 365 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: as lefties are concerned, yes, I would definitely be interested, 366 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: and yeah he'd be he'd be a reliever on this team. 367 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: He's not gonna be a starter, but like I Saidicago 368 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: just has nobody on their team, so I feel like 369 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: he's just a starter more so out of necessity rather 370 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 2: than they really believe that he is a starter. 371 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. And then Michael Kopek was another guy that we mentioned. 372 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: He is a reliever. He's pitched twenty and two thirds innings, 373 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 3: twenty seven strikeouts, He's got electric stuff. He's another guy 374 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: who throws really, really hard three point four to eight era. 375 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: I think there's room for improvement from both of these 376 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 3: guys to put him on a winning team and like 377 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 3: you said, feeding off of that energy. 378 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: So you know, it's funny they actually acquired him for 379 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: Chris Sale. He was part of that trade. 380 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 3: He was, yeah, the the Yoan Moncata deal, Ye right, yeah, 381 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 3: part of that part of that when that happened. You know, 382 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 3: Joan Mancata is one of those guys that he was 383 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 3: obviously a Cuban import and there was all this hype 384 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: about him because he was international prospect. He was very young, 385 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 3: and I was so pissed off when the Yankees didn't 386 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 3: get him. And then it turned out that he's had 387 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: a couple of really good seasons, but he's really faded fast, 388 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: and we're around the campfires. He just doesn't like baseball. 389 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 3: Like he's one of those guys, kind of like Anthony 390 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 3: Rendon who just does not like baseball. 391 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: I hate that. 392 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 2: I hate that you're in the major leagues and you 393 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: don't like baseball. I mean, I know there's a lot 394 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: of pro athletes, like in the NBA, there's a lot 395 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 2: of guys like that, But if you're blessed enough to 396 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 2: be good enough to play in the major leagues, there's 397 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 2: just an enormous problem for me. For a guy who 398 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: doesn't like baseball, it's literally what you do for a living. Also, 399 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: I'm seeing a comment here by reck when Nick seventeen 400 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: another thing that could solve the Jason de Mingo's problem. 401 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: Trade him. 402 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, not no way where he's not getting traded guy. 403 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 3: No way, no way, no chance, not a chance. And 404 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: I would revolt. Would I would personally drive to New 405 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 3: York and slap the shit out of Brian Cashman if 406 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: that happened. 407 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: Only I'll tell you this, there's one player that I 408 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: would even consider giving Juan Soto up for, and that's 409 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 2: Ronald Tokunya Jr. 410 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: That is the only guy. 411 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: You said one, So no, you mean Domingez. 412 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Dimingez. 413 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: Yes, the only guy I would consider giving up Domingues 414 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: for and the entire league is probably a Kunya. 415 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't even think I would do that right now. 416 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying I probably wouldn't do it 417 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: just because Domingus is younger. But as far as like 418 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 2: who you're getting in return, that's the only that's the 419 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: only phone call or when you hang up, you're like 420 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: maybe you know. 421 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So we just had another comment. 422 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 2: Uh. 423 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: I've talked about this a lot on the channel, but 424 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to get your take. Let's say Garrett Cole 425 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 3: came through the door tomorrow. What do you do? Who 426 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 3: goes to the bullpen or who goes to triple A? 427 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 3: What do you do? How do you solve the rotation? 428 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 3: They're not going to six man because you want to 429 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 3: keep Garrett Cole on his normal rest. That's how he 430 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 3: likes to pitch. Although maybe coming back from Tommy or 431 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: from a near Tommy john incident, you know, elbow strain. Look, 432 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 3: he's getting dark out there, like is there like a 433 00:20:54,960 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 3: giant spacecraft hovering over La. I'm fightingens No, I go, 434 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: tell me you got that reference. Tell me you got 435 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 3: the Independence Day reference? Come on? Yes, So who's who's 436 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: your guy? Who's going to the bullpen or who's going 437 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: to the minor leagues. 438 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: It's a tough call, man, But uh, my first thought 439 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 2: is Schmidt. I know he went seven innings last time out, 440 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: but historically what we've seen from him is after the 441 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 2: first time through the order, he hasn't really performed as well. 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: So I think and also Clark Schmidt, I feel like 443 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: would fill that Johnny Loszanna roll really well, the two 444 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: inning long relief role. I don't want to see he'll 445 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 2: get sent to the bullpen. I know he has an 446 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: innings limit, and that's fine, and maybe later on in 447 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 2: the season when he starts getting close that innings limit, 448 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 2: you can swap him for a guy in the bullpen. 449 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: That like, if you said end up spending Schmidt there, 450 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: what's up? 451 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 2: I mean? 452 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: Interject So apparently word around the campfire is Michael Kay 453 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: talked to cash Man Company and they basically said, there's 454 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 3: no innings limit on Louise Heel. They're basically gonna watch 455 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 3: him and see how he does and if he stays strong. 456 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 3: Like That's the thing about modern metrics is you can 457 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 3: measure like every delivery that a guy has, and when 458 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 3: he starts to fall off, they'll pull them out of there. 459 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 3: But it doesn't sound like they have a hard innings cap. 460 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 3: So if it's one hundred and fifty innings, it's one 461 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty innings. If it's a hunred eighty's a 462 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 3: hundred eighty, I don't know. 463 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: Yeah with him though, if all right, So if there's 464 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: no innings cap, he has to stain in the rotation. 465 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 1: He just has to. There's no way that I would 466 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: be taking him out. 467 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: I mean, he looks like twenty seventeen Luis Severino right now, 468 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: which is just like really really really nice to see. 469 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: He always had electric stuff like that, and his problem 470 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: has been command. But I think with the tutelage of 471 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 2: Matt Blake, he can kind of fix some things here 472 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 2: and there, and you know, he definitely has improved on 473 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: the command, definitely sometimes becomes a problem, But I don't 474 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: think he'll be getting sent to the bullpen. That's certainly 475 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: not what I would do. I feel like Schmidt and 476 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 2: Cortes are kind of the two choices, and I only 477 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: say Cortez just because they're short on lefties in the bullpen. 478 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: Other than that, though, I'd I honestly would kind of 479 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: rather send Schmidt out there, man like I feel like 480 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 2: Schmidt in the tuning role would be nice. 481 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: There's two other options, Like I know that phantom Iyel 482 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: is supposedly not supposed to be a thing anymore, But 483 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 3: there's two guys I could see going to the phantom 484 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: iel Stroman because he didn't throw a ton of innings 485 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 3: last year, and he's getting a little bit long in 486 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 3: the tooth and you want him fresh. We know he 487 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 3: can pitch. He's a little guy. There's a lot of 488 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 3: strain on the arm to pitch the way you know 489 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 3: he does. I could see him getting a couple of 490 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: weeks off with like a phantom hamstring or whatever, and 491 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 3: then you follow it up as soon as he's ready 492 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: to come back with like Nestor Cortez. Then you buy 493 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: a month an extra month for Louis Heal and then 494 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 3: you make the decision. You know, then by then it's 495 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 3: trade deadline time. Maybe somebody gets moved, who knows. 496 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean also you got to factor an injury. 497 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: God forbid that happens, But I mean that could happen 498 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 2: as well, and it would solve the problem for you. 499 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: We're assuming here that there aren't any injuries and that 500 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,400 Speaker 2: Cole is just coming back. I'm leaning towards Schmid goes 501 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: to the bullpen myself. I think that ultimately that's the 502 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 2: direction I would go in personally for the reasons that 503 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 2: I highlighted before. But anybody who says Heel should go 504 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: to the bullpen, and yes, I do know that Heel's 505 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: stuff plays awesome in the bullpen and he'd be a 506 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 2: lights out reliever, But just because what he's shown us 507 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 2: as a starter, and I feel like he's kind of 508 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 2: starting to go deeper into games now, Like you know 509 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: what I mean, He's starting to go deeper into games now, 510 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 2: and if you can have like I'm thinking about the 511 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 2: rotation even like next year, and if He'l's going to 512 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 2: prove himself to be like an ACE caliber pitcher and 513 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: Rodin's had a great bounce back here, all of a sudden, 514 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: you got Cole, Rodan and Heel in your rotation. That's 515 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: like potentially three ACE level pitchers. And I'm still high 516 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: on Rodn. I know he had a bad year last year. 517 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: He's had a very good year this year. But I 518 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: still think San Francisco Giants Rodon's in there somewhere, and 519 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 2: I think we'll start to see that as the season 520 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 2: progresses as well, because he's starting to look like better 521 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 2: and better every time out, you know what I mean. 522 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been great, and I just wanted to take 523 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: a look at some of Luis Heel's stuff here. I mean, 524 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 3: the guy has a East level stuff. There's no doubt 525 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 3: about it. Ninety eight ninety nine mile hour fastball. We've 526 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: seen him hit triple digits before. We've seen the change up. 527 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 3: Watch this change up. Actually that was a slider. He's 528 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: got a filthy, filthy slider and a disgusting change. There's 529 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: the change up ninety three miles an hour. He's been 530 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 3: controlling the ball better. He's been working a lot with 531 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 3: Garrett Cole. You see him on the sideline getting the 532 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 3: tutelage from Garrett Cole. If he can make the adjustments 533 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 3: successfully and he can be coachable. He's got the stuff 534 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 3: to pitch like a cy young winner. I mean, if 535 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 3: you had said to me, Derek Garrett Cole is going 536 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: to be out for a couple of months and through 537 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 3: his first nine starts his replacement is going to be 538 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 3: four and one with a two point five to one era, 539 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: I would have been like, sign me the hell up. 540 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 3: And that's exactly what he's done. And he's beat some 541 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 3: good teams. He handled the Orioles well. He's one of 542 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 3: the only guys who you know, pitched well against the Orioles, 543 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 3: so I mean, and he pitched well against the US. 544 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 3: He's elevating the fastball, he's throwing the change up and 545 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 3: the breaking ball down in the zone and getting whiffs. 546 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: He's getting soft contact. Now the Babbitt leads the league. 547 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 3: And that's, as somebody pointed out, not always a great indicator. 548 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 3: But here's the thing. He uh, he's getting soft contact. 549 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 3: He's getting pop ups and stuff like that. So I 550 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: think it's not really like a bad luck or you know, 551 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 3: bad luck for the offense thing. I think it's just 552 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 3: you know, he's he's he's pitching to soft contact. 553 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. 554 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: I mean, if it continues on this trajectory, he's an 555 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 2: All Star this year. 556 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 3: He's got oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. 557 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 2: Actually, a great point by Pamela Davis here is, uh, 558 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 2: we're forgetting to what the hell are we gonna do 559 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 2: when DJ gets back? Which is kind of a great point. Actually, 560 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: I didn't really think of that as wall. Those played 561 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: really well, Like I've almost kind of forgot about DJ, 562 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: if you know, you can believe it. 563 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 3: And and John Birdie looks good. Like every it seems 564 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 3: like every time he's in there, he hits at least 565 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: one or two line drives. He might not always get 566 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: a couple of hits, but he hits the ball hard, 567 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 3: and he's like Tim Castro on the basis the guy 568 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 3: is super fast. So yeah, yeah, I want I want 569 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 3: that guy on the team. I want Oswaldo on the team. 570 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know what you do with DJ. 571 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 3: And he's got to be getting ready to come back, right, 572 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: we keep we keep hearing about it, and uh, I mean, 573 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 3: that's just gonna be a tough decision if if I'm 574 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: the Yankees, I find a way to keep him down 575 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 3: there for another Oh the foot kind of sore again. 576 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 3: Let's let's reactivate the il stint for a couple of weeks. 577 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: Dude, hot take though. 578 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 2: You you probably get a copy your machine firm in return. 579 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 1: But if you can trade him than I would if. 580 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 2: If there's a team willing, we would have to eat 581 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: most of the contracts. So keep that in mind. We 582 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 2: would definitely be eating most of the contract But if 583 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: there's a team willing taking a shot on him for like, 584 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 2: you know, pennies on the dollar, I'd probably move him 585 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: just because he doesn't really fit on the team. Stanton's 586 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 2: kind of like that too, even if Stanton has a 587 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: great year this year. I'm talking about roster fit in 588 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 2: terms of the construction of the team with a bunch 589 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 2: of the younger guys that you have coming up, DJ 590 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: and Stanton kind of feel like odd men to me 591 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: a little bit, just because they're aging players. They got 592 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: big contracts. You're gonna have to eat a majority of 593 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 2: those contracts and you're gonna get nothing for them. But 594 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: in terms of like roster fit, they don't really fit 595 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 2: on the roster. 596 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, cost of doing business, you have to look at 597 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 3: it this way. You have to look at it as 598 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 3: like when you do a posting fee, for an international player, 599 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 3: it's just money that goes back to the team. You're 600 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 3: just giving the money away to bring in a valuable player. 601 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: You got to look at it as, all right, I'm 602 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 3: eating this money from DJ Lemayhew or I'm eating this 603 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 3: money from Stanton and it won't be Stanton this year, 604 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 3: but I'm eating this money so that one of my 605 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 3: younger guys who's better can play. That's how you got 606 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: to look at it. And you gotta look at the 607 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 3: make that money back on like merchandise and marketing over 608 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 3: the next several years with one of these younger guys. 609 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 2: Well, I mean the Mets kind of did that last 610 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: year when they traded Verlander Insurzer. Essentially what they did 611 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 2: is they bought prospects because they ate all those contracts, 612 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: and they got pretty decent returns. 613 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: Because of that. So if you want to look at 614 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: it that. 615 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: Way and eat the entire contract and basically you're just 616 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: buying prospects, you can look at it that way too. 617 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, And zion A Steiner brings up that Bertie's a 618 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 3: great defender. I think he's looked great over there. His 619 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: throws are a little bit, you know a little bit 620 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: if he bounces a lot of them. But hopefully that'll 621 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 3: come around, you know, with more playing time. 622 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: But y'all see, has he played the outfield before, Bertie? 623 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 3: I don't think so. He's got the speed to do it. 624 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 3: But I think he. 625 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: Could totally be a super utility guy. Yeah, yeah, play everything. 626 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, he probably because he looks athletic. All right, one 627 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: more time. We are on a winning stream. Wow, winning 628 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 3: over eight hundred and sixty on the uh stream including 629 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 3: X Reminder to like and subscribe and all that stuff. 630 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: Call into the voicemail show.
