1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Well, the day that we've been waiting for and debating 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: over for months is finally here. Who will be the 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five American League Most Valuable Player? Will it 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,159 Speaker 1: be Aaron Judge picking up his third MVP in the 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: last four years, Or will Cal Rawley's record setting sixty 6 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: home runs as a switch hitting catcher put him over 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: the top and de throne the captain. You'll find out 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: next and we'll react to it live. This is Pinstripe Territory, 9 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,639 Speaker 1: one of the talk. That's all all right, all right, 10 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: all right, welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. We are awaiting 11 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: the announcement, the official announcement from MLB. We just got 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: the show. He announced a Shohyo Tani announcement. Frankie, big 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: surprise there another MVP for show. 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, I mean really, it was a tough call. 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: I was really the wondering if College Rover was actually 16 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: gonna pull it off here. 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: But you know, it's a good thing that they didn't 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: get that. The Yankees didn't get him. As Mike Francesa 19 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: said back in the day. 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: I know, I know that was a great move by 21 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: the Yankees, just like not signing Bryce Harper. Another stellar 22 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: move by Brian Cashman. Just you stay away from show Hey. 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: He's no good news. 24 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: Actually, we can't put this one on cash and that 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: he actually really wanted Show Hey, Show He just wanted 26 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: to play out West. You know, it is what it is. 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: You know, usually I don't get super excited by the 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: MVP or like other offseason awards because it's typically one 29 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: and done. But when you're looking at three out of 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: four potentially for Aaron Judge and it really should be 31 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 1: his fourth, he should be tied with show Hey because 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: he got robbed in twenty seventeen. I mean this is 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: really historic. I mean, how many guys have three most 34 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: Valuable Players? Not a whole lot, And you could make 35 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: the argument that he should have four, and very even 36 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: less guys have four. So Frankie, let's start off with 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: the prediction. Does it go to Judge or does it 38 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: go to cal Raley? Where do you think? 39 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 2: I'm back and forth on this over the couple of weeks, 40 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: but I think in the end, some of the betting 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: markets I've started to go in Judge's favor. I think 42 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: it's gonna be Judge. It's gonna be close. I'm wondering 43 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: Ken Rosenthal joke only suggested today on FT maybe it's 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: a tie that's only happened once o'keith Fanan doesn't really 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: start go back in nineteen seventy nine. I don't think 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: that'll happen. I do think it's going to be one 47 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: of the closer MVP races we've had. But in the end, 48 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: I think Judge, just the batting title plus is overall 49 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 2: this great season will be enough to put raw And 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: it's a shame because we're not here to hate on 51 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: either one of these guys. This was a great season 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: for both of these guys. Either one of them are 53 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 2: worthy MVP winners, but only one person can win. I 54 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: think Judge is going to get it, and I would 55 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: also pick Judge just based off of his stats are 56 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: just a little bit better overall than Raley's, even though 57 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: Rawley has the edgend w hoome runs. 58 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the comparison here. So Judge 59 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: leads in f War ten point one, he had thirty doubles, 60 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: He had a four to fifty seven on base percentage, 61 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: three seventy two total bases, three thirty one batting average. 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: He was the tallest and or sorry tallest batting or 63 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: batting champion ever. I'm a little rusty Frankie. During the season, 64 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: I did this every single day. But when I'm doing 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: it once a week or twice a week now, I 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: can't get the garbage out of my mouth. And one 67 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four walks, including a record thirty six 68 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: intentional walks for Aaron Judge. It was thirty six times 69 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: that they just said they did the Garrett Cole thing 70 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: port forefingers go to first base. 71 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: And thirty five of those was by John Schneider. 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all in the same series exactly. Cal Rolly 73 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: sixty home runs. That was not only the record for 74 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: a catcher, but it was a switch hitting record, one 75 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five ribis, fourteen stolen bases he edged 76 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: out Judge, and stolen bases. I would have thought that 77 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: if Judge hadn't hurt his toe, you know, a couple 78 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: of years back, we would be looking at probably twenty 79 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: plus stolen bases. It felt like he was much more 80 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: aggressive before the toe injury and rally leads slightly in 81 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: d war, which surprised me. But they are not going 82 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: to officially announce it until about ten minutes or fifteen 83 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: minutes from now, So everybody's saying that, hey, he won whatever, 84 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: Those are just spoilers that you're reading stuff on Google. 85 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: It's not official yet. Nobody knows. This is like just 86 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: conjecture at this point. So I'm not even gonna put 87 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: those guys on the screen. But you know, Frankie, it 88 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: is kind of remarkable we forget how good Judge is 89 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: just because we see him every day, just kind of 90 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: the same way that we forgot how consistent Derek Jeter 91 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: was as a hitter. You know, all those years hitting 92 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: two hundred hits and hitting over three hundred. Judge just 93 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: every year consistent, power average is getting better, strikeouts are 94 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: going down. I mean, he might be the best player 95 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: I've ever seen other than maybe Barry Bonds, and maybe 96 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: maybe even including Barry Bonds. 97 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: I'll still give the edge to Barry, and of course 98 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: we not have to give an edge to the four 99 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: time MVP and show. Hey, but in terms of Yankees, 100 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: in terms of Yankees, he's the best I've seen. And 101 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: I love Jeter and a Rod was you know, I 102 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: have my problems with him, but he was great with 103 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: the Yankees there, especially in the postseason two MPPs there. 104 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: But Judge is the best I've ever seen. Just the consistency, 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: the fact that, you know, four fifty home run seasons, 106 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: the great batting average, he's gotten better with every year. 107 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 2: You wonder, like, when is this going to plateau? When 108 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 2: is he eventually going to go off a cliff. I 109 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: hope it's not anytime in the next few years, because 110 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: you know, we got to extend this championship window any 111 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: way we can. But it's just the consistency of it. 112 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: The I guess eight years of this and you only 113 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 2: wonder about some of those injuries that happened in twenty 114 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: eighteen and nineteen, and the year, the COVID year in 115 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: twenty twenty and the toe injury in twenty twenty three. 116 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: If it wasn't for some real bad luck, you know 117 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 2: how many more of these amazing seasons we could have gotten. 118 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: It is truly remarkable watching this guy. It's been just 119 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: an honor to be able to watch him every days. 120 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: Yea as a Yankee. He's the best player I've ever 121 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 2: seen on this team. And hopefully he can end out 122 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: his career with the title. But that he's got to 123 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: figure that one out. 124 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: But I mean, that's really all he's missing right now. 125 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: We were talking before. It's weird that Jeter never won 126 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: an MVP. He had two seasons really where I thought 127 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: he could have won. Ninety nine he was amazing, he 128 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: hit like three forty nine. I don't have his stats 129 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: that you can post stats up if you want. But 130 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: six he lost to Justin Morena the Twins. I thought 131 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 1: he was really good that year. I mean, I thought, 132 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: really six was his better shot because in ninety nine 133 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: he also had Pedro Martinez. You had paid Rodriguez, I mean, 134 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: you had some really really good talent that year that 135 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: was kind of spread around, and the Yankees were so 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: good that it was almost like, well you take Jeter out, 137 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: they're still pretty good. So that was kind of the 138 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: argument against it there. But I disagree. I thought he 139 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: should have won the MVP both of those years. So 140 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: it hurts to see a Yankee get robbed. And I'm 141 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: very much, very much going to be ticked if if 142 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: cal Rowley wins. But I will see I will see 143 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: that it's not obscene if he wins, right, I mean, 144 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: sixty home runs for a catcher switch hitter. You know, 145 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: they don't make the playoffs, or at least they don't 146 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: win the division. Without that kind of season from him, 147 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be totally shocked. Info Info says the Mets 148 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: have never had an MVP. How crazy was it that 149 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: Juan Soto almost went forty forty this year? How nuts 150 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: was that? 151 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 2: He's an incredible player and it's amazing people were talking about, oh, 152 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: this was a down year for him and he still 153 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: almost had a forty forty year. Is if the Mets 154 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 2: can put some more talent around him, it could be 155 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: scary for years to come. Hopefully that is not the case, 156 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 2: and hopefully we don't see anymore any World Series heading 157 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: the Queens. But he look, there were a lot of 158 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: reasons why the Mets did not succeed this year. He 159 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: was not one of them. He was great. You mentioned 160 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: the sixty home runs, and then I'll get to the 161 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: Jeter stats here. So there have been ten sixty home 162 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: run seasons. McGuire didn't get the MVP in ninety eight, 163 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: but that's because they gave it to Sosa, which is 164 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: it's weird that they gave I still find it weird 165 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: that McGuire won the home run race, but I got 166 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: the MVP. 167 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: Well, well, the Cobs made the playoffs. Cobs made the 168 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: playoffs and the Cardinals didn't. You know what was funny 169 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: is that McGuire in the World Series caught a baseball 170 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: that you're in foul territory. He was like sitting in 171 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: foul territory. I think it was maybe like Scott Brochs 172 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: or someone, and somebody hit a ground ball and McGuire 173 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: like grabbed it and held like, we're the odds that 174 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: that guy had that kind of year. 175 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: It was just that kind of year. From ninety nine. 176 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: McGuire also didn't get it because they went to Chipper Jones. 177 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: McGuire and Sosa both at sixty that year. Chipper Jones 178 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: won it a one sociated sixty four, but Bonds won 179 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: it because he had seventy three. And then nineteen twenty seven, 180 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: bab Roof was in eligible, which we talked about before. 181 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: How weird that was. Yeah, But nineteen ninety nine we 182 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,559 Speaker 2: talked about this. Jeter had was leading the American League 183 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 2: in war among position players and eights, and he finished 184 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 2: sixth in MVP voting even though he had two hundred 185 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: nineteen hits and twenty four home runs. One hundred and 186 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: two RBIs. But about Bilm nowadays, he would not be 187 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 2: finishing sex. He would definitely be in the top three. 188 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,439 Speaker 2: And we'll get to two that on six in a 189 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: little bit. But you want to show us here these yeah, 190 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 2: person comparing Judge and Raleigh here with. 191 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: So this comes courtesy of our friends over Foul Territory. 192 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: They sent this over and we're waiting the decision. I 193 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: noticed that Jose Fernandez didn't even show up. He's he decided? 194 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: Or did I say Ramirez early Ramirez? Did Jose Ramirez? 195 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: Jose Fernanas definitely didn't show Jose Ramirez. 196 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: Uh. 197 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: That was bad. That was in bad day Stuf'm sorry 198 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: Jose Jose Ramirez. Uh didn't even bother showing up because 199 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: it's a two man race, so he's not going to 200 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: be on on on the broadcast. Right now, they're talking 201 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: to Cal Raley. They got Judge on the couch and 202 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: his black turtleneck, you know, with the with the bling going. 203 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: But let's take a look at the stats here. So 204 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: I guess they went by Baseball reference here in war 205 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: because it's lower than what I saw for f wour. 206 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: So Judge nine point seven to Cal Raley seven point 207 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: four offensive war Judge was nine point four and Raley 208 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: was seven point seven. Judge one hundred and thirty seven 209 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: runs to one hundred and ten for Rale, one hundred 210 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: and seventy nine hits two one hundred and forty seven 211 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: for Rali, more doubles thirty to twenty four, more triples 212 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: two to nothing. He lost in home runs by seven 213 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: sixty to fifty three, he lost in RBIs by eleven 214 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: twenty five to one fourteen, and he lost in stolen 215 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: bases by two sorry fourteen to twelve. And uh yeah, 216 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: so it's just been mostly Judge the rest of the 217 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: categories walks, strikeouts, average, on base percentage, slugging ops. So 218 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and turn on the volume here so 219 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: that I can hear it when it gets announced. But 220 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: we should have an announcement here coming up after this, 221 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: uh after this break, and we'll see, like who hands 222 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: out the award, right, If it's like Ken Griffey Junior, 223 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: it'll be Cal Raley. If it's Derek Jeter, you know, 224 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: it'll be judge. So we'll see. They said ten more minutes, 225 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: so we'll see. We'll find out this is very exciting. 226 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 2: Well, what do you think about the idea of having 227 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 2: the MVP. I've always thought that they should have the 228 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: MVP during the postseason, kind of like the way the 229 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 2: NBA does it, the way the NFL does it. I'm 230 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: assuming it's for like to get people talking about baseball 231 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: in November. But how great would it be if either 232 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: Judge or Raleigh was able to hold up that trophy 233 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: in New York or in Seattle. 234 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: That would be cool. I like that, and I think 235 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: there's a misconception a lot of people think, like I've 236 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: seen this in comments a lot, Well, you know, got 237 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: a factor in the postseason stats, right, because you know 238 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: Raleigh went farther, had you know, more home runs in 239 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: the postseason and so forth. But no, these votes have 240 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: to be in before this postseason even begins. I like 241 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: the idea of having a you know, kind of a 242 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: thing to keep people interested in in November because free 243 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: agents aren't signing yet, right unless you had like a 244 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: period right now, like this week where it was like 245 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: a trade window or something like you have to get 246 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: your trades done before the winter meetings. It's like there's 247 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: a what if there was like two solid weeks, right 248 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: where all the trades had to be made, and in 249 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: between you could do free agency and then afterwards, like 250 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's just the you prep for the season. 251 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: It's like the Rule five draft or whatever. I like 252 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: the idea of the frenzy. 253 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: That would be a nice idea, you know, that would 254 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: be just didn't we kind of have that when the 255 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: lockout happened in twenty twenty two and then we had 256 00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 2: that like crazy blitz of guy signing because there was 257 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: such a short breaging period. I'm imagining we're gonna have 258 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: that in twenty seven whenever baseball comes back, so we'll 259 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 2: have a reprise of that. But it's just something I've 260 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: always wanted because I feel like I understand why they 261 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: did it. But I also wouldn't mind the idea of, 262 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: like before postseason game, these guys handing out the MVP 263 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: trophies and so that people aren't confused with like you 264 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 2: should factor in the postseason. This is the point out. No, 265 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 2: you don't factor in the postseason at all. It is 266 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: a regular season award. But Caleb, it's been successful. 267 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: Caleb Sego says, can you put it on the screen? 268 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: I cannot. I cannot broadcast the end. I do not, 269 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: contrary to popular belief, have the rights to broadcast the 270 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: MVP Award for Major League Baseball. I would lose my channel. 271 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: So instead we're gonna have it on the TV, off screen, 272 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna react to it in real time.

Yeah, I mean I 301 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: agree with him. That's a missed opportunity, but you know, 302 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: they want people to sign up for MLB network. I 303 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: feel bad for Jose Ramirez. He had another really good year. 304 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,239 Speaker 1: He's one of those guys who always gets kind of overshadowed. 305 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: He always has great numbers and then like doesn't win 306 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: the MVP. 307 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's disappointing. He's been great for them for the 308 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: last few years, but it was a two man race 309 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 2: this year, Like I feel bad as you much. I 310 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 2: feel bad for these like runner ups like Bobby What 311 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: last year had a great year and he had no 312 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: chance against Judge. You can do as well as you can, 313 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 2: but some of these guys just have these utterworldly seasons 314 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: and that's what we saw this year from both Judge 315 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: and Raleigh. I do want to just point out, because 316 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: I teased before the break the six al MVP, so 317 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: Morneau beat Jeter by fourteen votes. Morneau had thirty four 318 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: home runs one hundred and thirty RBIs that three twenty 319 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: one batting average and his war was four point three. 320 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 2: Jeter fourteen home runs, ninety seven RBIs at three forty 321 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 2: three batting average and a five point six war. So 322 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 2: that is something that would be Yeah, that'd be something 323 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: that very interest can see how that award would be 324 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: done with writers of today, Like if you can get right, 325 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: that would be actually kind of a cool thing. I 326 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 2: don't know if I ever do it, but like, have 327 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: the writers of today vote on previous awards and like 328 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: who they would who they would have won it, because 329 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: I would have made that might be different or it's weird, 330 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: like guys who had like a higher war that year, 331 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: like Travis Hafner had a five point nine Santijon Santana 332 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: to seven point six Grady size more six point six. 333 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: They're way down in the list, and I'm wondering, with 334 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: today's metrics, how if it would be different. 335 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, Samuel s says it's clearly cow. I'm gonna gead 336 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: and disagree. I don't think it's clear, but I don't 337 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: think that it's necessarily a shoe in for Judge either. 338 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: So we're gonna find out in the next couple of minutes. 339 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 1: We're over one thousand in the chat. I want to 340 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: remind everybody to like to subscribe to the channel. Frankie 341 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: and I are going to be here a lot next year, 342 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: kicking off every week. I'm here after every single game 343 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: all season long. There's a non zero chance I might 344 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: be doing some traveling next year during the season and 345 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: should I miss a game here or there. We are 346 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: in the process of teaching Frankie Baseball how to host 347 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: this show, which is why he's been on so much 348 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: this winter, because I want to teach the man. You know, 349 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: you really should avoid saying incredibly dumb things. But I 350 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: am not leading by example, as it turns out by 351 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: you know, say, Jose Fernandez was not going to make 352 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: the MVP vote. 353 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: It's a pop the kettle black moment. 354 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: There, exactly exactly. But I will say this for you, Frankie. 355 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: I will say this. You've you've got me beat in 356 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: hair already like mine is all. It's six years of 357 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: this and my hair is all fallen out. You've at 358 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: least got a full ahead of hair plenty left to 359 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: lose here over the next, uh you know, rest of 360 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: your Yankee watching life. So we are now approaching the 361 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: final countdown here. It looks like it's uh seven forty seven. 362 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: I think they were gonna announce it was seven fifty 363 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: Is that when they said they were gonna. 364 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 2: Announce a right? Sounds about right. So I think they 365 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: announced show at seven fifty three, so like the would 366 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: or seven twenty three, so I'd be like maybe five 367 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: more minutes, all. 368 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: Right, So let's give it five more minutes. Let's talk 369 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: hot stove. Have you been keeping up with the Paul 370 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: Skeens wants to be a Yankee rumors and then the 371 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: GM saying well he won't be here and so forth. 372 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna have Ryan Garcia on the show tomorrow night. 373 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: We're gonna construct trades for Paul Skeins and just see, 374 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: you know, you know how that would shake out. And also, 375 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: have you heard that the Padres are considering a sale 376 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: of the team, which you have to make that wonder 377 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: if that's like a John Carlos Stanton situation with Fernando 378 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: Tatis or somebody wants to take that big contract off 379 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: the books. I think the Yankees would probably be willing 380 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: to do it. Let me get your thoughts on those 381 00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: two things right now. 382 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: Well, first off, on Skiens, I haven't let myself dream 383 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 2: too much because I just feel like this is the 384 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: kind of situation that I that would just it has 385 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 2: all all the potential to just rip my heart out. 386 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: In a few years. Yeah, I would love to have 387 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 2: Skins on the Yankees, no doubt about it. If anything, 388 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 2: I get to see who'll be done every five days. 389 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: But in this case, it's we're three four years away. 390 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: I'm not ready to and they're not gonna trade him 391 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 2: this year or next year, so I'm definitely being patient. Now. 392 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 2: I don't believe for a second that he wants to 393 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 2: stay on Pittsburgh. I know all the things. I want 394 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 2: to win a World Series with Pittsburgh and all that, 395 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 2: but the way this team's constructed, he knows this team 396 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: isn't gonna win anytime soon, and they're not gonna give 397 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 2: him the most money, So I can't imagine he's gonna 398 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 2: stay there. So yeah, I'm sure he's looking elsewhere, but 399 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 2: I'm very skeptical on that report. I want to believe it, 400 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna wait a little bit while longer. And 401 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: then the Padre sale. I haven't thought about having Tatisa 402 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: on the Yankees. That would be be a nice addition 403 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 2: there as if you know, as again, we're gonna need 404 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: a new well not now we have Judge, but we're 405 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: gonna the's some guys who are getting older, and we're 406 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: gonna need another new face to the Yankees, and Tatis 407 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 2: can certainly be that. Uh But wouldn't it be interesting 408 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: because did Yankee fans like boo Tatis a couple of 409 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 2: years ago about the whole like Stewards thing, And. 410 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: Well he every like the Yankees fans, boo everybody. That's 411 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: not necessarily a big deal. He also he basically ended 412 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: Rizzo's career at that collision. At first Basem. This guy 413 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: who's you know, if he's healthy, he's good for you know, 414 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: between two fifty and two eighty with twenty five home 415 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: runs and and you know, twenty five to thirty steals, 416 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: and you know, the metrics love him, you know, and 417 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: and a right handed bat. It'd be interesting to see 418 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: if that shook out. So we're waiting here on the announcement, 419 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: and it looks like they're gonna probably take one more 420 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: commercial break and then uh, and then they'll they'll tell us. 421 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: But I like the idea of Fernando tattoos. I was 422 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: talking about this with Terrence. In fact, I'll give you 423 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: just basically, I'll pull up Terrence's chat so I can 424 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 1: read to read this, uh, he said, I said, are you? 425 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: Are you interested in tattoos? He said, gold gloving right 426 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: or moving back to short or put him in left? 427 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: I said, just play him in the left field, which, 428 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: of course that would mean the end of the Martian. 429 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 1: You'd either have to go with the Martian or Jones 430 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: as a fourth outfielder, or and and trade the other one. 431 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: So I basically said, belly and center Martian slash Jones 432 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: as the fourth outfielder, and and tattoos in left field, 433 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: judge and right. I mean, that's pretty Or if you 434 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: could get them to like take down some of the contract, 435 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: maybe Stanton wants to go to I doubt it, but 436 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 1: I would say maybe he wants to go back to 437 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: the Padres. And he already basically he does hit well there, 438 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: but he's already turned down trades to California once. But 439 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: you could get that, you can get the Padres to 440 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: pay down some of his contract and just cut him. 441 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: Put Judge at DH, put tattoos in right, put belly 442 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: in center, and then go with one of the kids 443 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: and left and the other kid is the fourth outfielder. 444 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 2: That sounds fantastic. I love that. Let's get that in 445 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: going right now. But that seems like too many things 446 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 2: have to happen for all that to fall into place. 447 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: Be heartbroken about the idea of we've talked about this 448 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 2: about losing your boy to Mingos. I mean, if we 449 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: have to do it, we have to do it. 450 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, it is a I believe in him. I 451 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: think I would still root for him even if he 452 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: went to another team, because I believe in the kid 453 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: and I like the guy. I mean, there are players 454 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: like that who you know, Ricky Leday was a guy 455 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: I was a big believer in. He never really panned 456 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: out as a superstar, but he won a couple of 457 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,439 Speaker 1: World Series with the Yanks, and he had key hits 458 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: in both ninety eight and ninety nine in the World Series. 459 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Big time prospect, like you know they's oh Darryl Strawberry, 460 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: Don Mattingly. He wasn't that, but he was a good 461 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: player and a clutch player. And you know, Alfonso Soriano 462 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: was a guy I was a big believer in since 463 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: he hit a couple of home runs in the Futures Game. 464 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: You watch him up the Yankees, he does really well. 465 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: They traded him as part of the A Rod deal, 466 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: and then I followed his career like rooting for him. 467 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: I wanted him to get forty forty when he was 468 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,479 Speaker 1: with the Nationals and stuff like that. So there are 469 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: guys that once they move along, I still root for them. 470 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. I think Soriano is one of the 471 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: forty forty guys. Like it's like a couple of Hall 472 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 2: of Famers in there and then Soriano. It's also funny. 473 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 2: I was thinking, it's funny to imagine like the nineteen 474 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 2: ninety eight version of Pin Strike Territory, and you're doing 475 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: like Ricky with day Watch, Like, yeah, merchandise. 476 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: Ricky Radar, I love it, so I came up. I've 477 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: got a couple of designs for some cam Schlitzler merch 478 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: that I haven't put up yet, but I'm gonna put 479 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: it up when we do the when we start to 480 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: get more stuff for the winter meetings and all that, 481 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: and the traffic picks backs up. But I've got the 482 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: Schlit list, and I've got all the players that he 483 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: struck out in the Red Sox game, so that's gonna 484 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: That's just a cool design. And then Schlit happens, which 485 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: is basically like, you know, it's kind of like the 486 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: Forrest Gump thing where the you know, a guy wipes 487 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: his face on the thing and that happened. Anyway, we're 488 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: still wasting. We can, Yes, we can. Oh god, how 489 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: have I not thought of that? Frankie, this is why 490 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: he's my understudy, folks. Frankie Baseball nice Egyptian says, when 491 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: are they going to announce it? I'd imagine the next 492 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, because we're right at about the time 493 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: that they announced it for show, Hey, about twenty three 494 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: minutes past the segment beginning.

He gave him quite a fight. Do we 535 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: have the voting yet? 536 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's said that Aaron Judge got seventeen first place posts, 537 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: but they took the uh, they took the thing down. 538 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try and pull it up on Twitter 539 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: real quick and see if we can share a post. 540 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's I'm sure it's uh. I got it 541 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: all right. 542 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: Oh, so Judge at seventeen first place boats rally at thirteen, 543 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: and then Judge AT's thirteen second place boats rally at seventeen. 544 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: Judge wins three fifty five to three thirty five, so 545 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,199 Speaker 2: twenty points. 546 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: Hey, it's pretty close. But as it says on the Yankees' account, 547 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: here case captain wins. Let's hear it for the captain 548 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: in the chat over fourteen hundred watching and celebrating with us. 549 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: And you know what. Only thing left for Judge in 550 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: my opinion, is a ring he hit in the postseason 551 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: this year. I have no qualms with how he played 552 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: in the postseason whatsoever. But only thing left for Judge 553 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: now is to take home the ring, to march the 554 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: trophy down the Canyon of Heroes. Frankie Final thoughts here 555 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: before we wrap this up. 556 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 2: It is a pleasure as a Yankee fan to get 557 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: to watch Aaron Judge every game. He is truly, truly remarkable. 558 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: He's a stork, He's a future Hall of Famer. Great 559 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 2: watching him this season. And yes, as you mentioned, all 560 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 2: that's left is the ring. Is he gonna get it? Cashmin, 561 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 2: how you got work to do? Get this man of ring. 562 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: We cannot have this man go down as the greatest Yankee. 563 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 2: It would be ironic. Don Manningly giving the word out 564 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: to Aaron Judge. Don Manningly, I think we all consider 565 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,959 Speaker 2: it to be the great shanky to never win a ring. Yeah, 566 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 2: it better that better not be the case here, it 567 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: better you better help get this man a ring. And 568 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 2: Jud's gotta show up the postseason two. But Cash, how 569 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: you got things to do? Fix it?
