1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: All right, that's it to feel you want. Today is Saturday,

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: July sixth, and the Yankees were trying to stop a

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: losing streak behind their ace, Garrett Cole. Was he up

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: to the task. My recap, your reactions coming up next.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: This is NYY Recaps. Oh and by the way, I

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: tweeted that I would shave my head on the show

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: if Ben Rice hit a third home run, and he did,

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: so here we go. Call me back. All right, welcome back, everybody,

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: welcome back. It's gonna happen. We got the razor right here.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: I did tweet right before Ben rice is lasted bat

11
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: that if you hit the ball out of the ballpark,

12
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: the head was getting shaved. So we're wearing the fun

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: hat and pretty soon it will be covering a bald noggin.

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: So tune in, stay tuned in. We're gonna do it

15
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: during the recap. Maybe last night was rock bottom, you know,

16
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: maybe last night was the end of the slump and

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: you needed to come out of it in a big way.

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: And Ben Rice hitting three home runs today might be

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: just what the doctor ordered. Very nice offensive performance from

20
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: the Yankees at large. They score fourteen runs back and

21
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: forth for the first four and a half innings, and

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: then they exploded for seven runs in the fifth, four

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: more in the seventh inning. Ben Rice with the hat trick,

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: third straight day that he was in the leadoff spot,

25
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: and I think it's fair to say that he's comfortable.

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: First Yankee rookie ever to hit three home runs in

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: a single game. And yes, if you're just joining, I

28
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: tweeted out before the third at bat, then I would

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: shave my head on the postgame show if he went deep.

30
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: And as the joker says, I'm a man of my word.

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: So let's talk a little bit about the day first,

32
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: and then we'll get to that during the recap. He

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: got things started off with a home run in the

34
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: first inning. Also hit a three run shot in the fifth,

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: three run home run in the seventh. Seven Ribby's on

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: the day. We'll talk about Ben Rice in just a second,

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: but there's a few other things that we got to

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: go through first. Verdugo continues to swing the bat a

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: little bit better. He hit a two run home run

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: into Monument Park, took about a half an hour to

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: get around the bases. Even DJ le Mayhew had a

42
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: solid day. He was two for three with a couple

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: of Ribby's still hitting one to ninety and he didn't

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: exactly smoke the ball, but picked up a couple of hits,

45
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: a couple of ribbies. Big double from Anthony Vopi second

46
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: time this week that he's had a big double and

47
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: burned the center fielder. Would have been another RBI at

48
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: the ball didn't bounce over the wall. But the big

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: stories for today were obviously Ben Rice and Garrett Cole.

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole did not have a great day. You know,

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: he continues to struggle with Raphael Devers. I thought the

52
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: stuff looked pretty good. He got beat on some soft

53
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: bloopers in the third inning. He had eight strikeouts, but

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: obviously he's still working his way back. Red Sox got

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: four runs off of him, so it's not ideal. Dever's

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: got him for an RBI single and a long home

57
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: run into the right field bleachers. I think it's fair

58
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: to say that Devers owns Garrett Cole at this point,

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: just owns him. Devers kind of was having fun going

60
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: around the bases and Garrett Cole stared him down. Better idea,

61
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: maybe next time just walk him, just put up four

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: fingers and send him on his way because he has

63
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: got your numbers. Dude, Let's talk a little bit about

64
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: Ben Rice. He's obviously getting more comfortable in the major leagues.

65
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: And I've seen some comments before today that said, well,

66
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Rice is pretty good, but what do you do with

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: him when Anthony Rizzo comes back? And I think today

68
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: answered the question, Rice is simply better you do nothing.

69
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Rice is already the new first basement. He has wally

70
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: pipped Anthony Rizzo. He's learning at the position we saw

71
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: him as a scoop today. Is he perfect over there? No,

72
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: but you'll put up with it when he's hitting the

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: ball like he did today. Could he still possibly mess

74
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: up into a big spot defensively, Sure, but I'm willing

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: to take that risk if the kid continues to swing

76
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: the bat the way he is. Take a look at

77
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: his early on stat Cast numbers. Now this was before today,

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: before the three home runs. You see, he doesn't have

79
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: enough to qualify, but if he did, he would be

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: near the tops in the league in multiple categories including

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: expected batting average, expected slugging, sweet spot, chase percentage, fifth percentage,

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: strikeout percentage, walk percentage. He's an average runner and now

83
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: three home runs in one game outstanding. Rizzo is a

84
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: good teammate, He's a good guy. But his time has passed.

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: And I've seen enough from Rice now to believe that

86
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: he's part of the solution to the Yankees' old unathletic

87
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: roster problem. And he may have turned the season around

88
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: today because it looked like he jump started that dugout

89
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: on a very hot day. We saw some good things

90
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: from Verduga. I gotta update the cry on here, so Uh,

91
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: Verdugo hit a big home run, I'm just gonna change

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: it to Verdugo good. It's hard to write on the fly.

93
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Verdugo hit a big two run shot in the Monument Park,

94
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: took his time around the basis two doubles a couple

95
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: of nights ago. Last night he got robbed of another

96
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: extra base hit, and you could tell that he was

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: feeling it a little bit better. Uh, you know he was.

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: His swings have been better, even as foul balls have

99
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: looked more stable in the box. So loving what we're

100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: seeing over the last few days from Verdugo. As you know,

101
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: this lineup tries to get it going and tries to

102
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: climb out of the funk that we that we have

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: seen this team fall into over the last month, all right,

104
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: so coming up soon. We got the head shaving. But

105
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: let's get to the recap, all right, let's go. Let's

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: get it going. So scoreless, one, two three. First inning

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: for Garrett Cole looked sharp right out of the gate,

108
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: bottom one. Ben Rice with his first home run of

109
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: the day, leadoff shot into the second deck. Second homer

110
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: of the year. It was a cutter up and in,

111
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: and that's not an easy pitch to a hit hard

112
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: or b keep fair. So a very impressive piece of

113
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: hitting for Ben Rice. I love how he gestured to

114
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: try and you know, pump up the bench a little

115
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: bit as he was going down the line. Red Sox

116
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: loaded the bases in the top of the second, but

117
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Garrett Cole punched out of it with a big strikeout.

118
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: Volpi got robbed of another hit in the bottom of

119
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: the second. His numbers have been down, obviously, but I

120
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: feel like he's been hitting the ball harder, so that's

121
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: a good sign. And he did have a big hit

122
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: later in the game. Red Sox put up a crooked

123
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: number in the third, though they tied the game at

124
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: one on an RBI single from Devers, who has Garrett

125
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: Cole's number, as we found out even further more evidence

126
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: for that later in the game. And then they got

127
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: a couple of runs on soft bloops, just you hit

128
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: him where they ain't kind of hits, and they went

129
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: up three to one. Judge broke up an zero for

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: twelve slump with a check swing single in the third inning,

131
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: and then Alex for Dugo showed up against his former

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: team once again. Dog two runs shot in the Monument Park,

133
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: first home run since Twoe fourteen at Benway Park, tenth

134
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: home run of the season. As I mentioned, took his

135
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: time going around the bases, so red Sock went back

136
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: out on front on a home run by Devers in

137
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: the fifth that knocked Garrett Cole out of the game.

138
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Final line for Garrett Cole four in a third inning,

139
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: seven hits, four runs, two walks, eight strikeouts. Like I said,

140
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I thought the strikeouts and the stuff were there, but

141
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: the consistency of his pitches, the ability to pitch out

142
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: of jams, or the final pieces to the puzzle, I'm

143
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: confident Garrett Cole will be okay. Big RBI double from

144
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: Volpie in the fifth, Judge had singled Verdugo bunted his

145
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: way on, showing a little bit more confidence playing baseball again,

146
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: and then Volpi smoked one over the centerfielder's head bounced

147
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: over the fence, otherwise two runs would have scored. Red

148
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Sox intentionally walked one fifty six hitter Trent Grisham to

149
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: load the bases for Trevigno, and the Yankees went to

150
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: the bench and brought up Austin Wells, who worked a

151
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: really really good at bat to draw walk and give

152
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: the Yankees the lead. It's coming, folks, It's coming. Oswaldo

153
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: followed up with a sackfly to make it six to four.

154
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: DJ single to make it seven to four, and you

155
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: could see the bench just kind of collectively exhale, and

156
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: then the Red Sox went to the bullpen and Ben

157
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Rice stepped up once again, this one a mammoth shot

158
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: once again into the judge's chambers. Second time he's found

159
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: the judges chambers this week. And he was not done.

160
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: After DJ LeMay, who picked up another RBI single to

161
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: make an eleven four, Rice came up with two runners

162
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: on base, and I tweeted, if Ben Rice Homer's here,

163
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: I will shave my head on the postgame show, and

164
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: guess what who One hat's coming off. One hat is

165
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: coming off. Alex Murcadafe says, shave your head, liar, How

166
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: am I a liar? I just haven't done it yet.

167
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: It's coming. I'm a man of my word. And here

168
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: we go. Because you know, the worst part about this is, uh,

169
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: I've never done this before, so there's a chance that

170
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: I might end up bleeding before this is all over. Also,

171
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to clean up the studio full of

172
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: full of hair. But it's not gonna make a great

173
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: audio podcast experience. But Frankie, let's get to clip and

174
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna do this all right. Here we go. We're

175
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: shaving the head. It's hard to do this on Oh

176
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: my god, this is this is horrendous. This is gonna

177
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: look bad. The wife is not gonna like this. Oh man,

178
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: I got a weird looking ahead. Baby. I told you

179
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: I am a man of my word. This is ben

180
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Rice's fault. It is looking shiny. I got some aircrats

181
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: action happening right here. I have never shaved my head before,

182
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: and it is not a good look for me. But

183
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, the things we do because we're men of

184
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: our words. We're men of honor around here, and here

185
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: we go. Got some streaks happening. For those of you

186
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: who are listening, this is not a pretty sight. I

187
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: was gonna tell you to tune in on YouTube and watch,

188
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, some people watching on Twitter right now, but uh,

189
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: definitely not a pretty sight. We're gonna have to do

190
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: the whole thing, man, because right now I've got patches.

191
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: This is rough. This is rough. We're doing the back.

192
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna have to go over it again after

193
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: the show. But hey, when we make bets around here,

194
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: we live up to them. This beautiful dark hair, very

195
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: little gray hair, but it's going. It's going so luckily

196
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt. I was worried I might nick myself

197
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: or pull some pull something out. Oh it's gonna be rough.

198
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: This is ugly. My wife is signing up for a

199
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: dating app right now. Can't believe she married this guy,

200
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: ben Rice. This is your fault. You owe me a

201
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: new head of hair, a wig something. We said we

202
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: would do it and we do not lie on Nyy recaps.

203
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: So those of you listening, the hair is almost gone.

204
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: The back still still has a lot of hair. I

205
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: can't see the back. I might have to have my

206
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: wife go over it when we're done here, but I'm

207
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna do my best. Geez, I look like Jason Vorhees

208
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: after they take the mask off. This is rough. Honestly,

209
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: it's not a horrible look. If it wasn't all patchy.

210
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: This might be the last time I shaved my head.

211
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: Or it could be just the first of men. Who knows.

212
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: We'll see how it plays. What do you think? That

213
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: good enough for now? That good enough for now? We'll

214
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: go on. We'll go over it uh later with a

215
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: with a finer razor. But there we go. I'm a

216
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: man of my word. We shaved our head. Ladies and gentlemen.

217
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: Yankees get back in the win column. Salvatorio says, bro,

218
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: you don't look bad, you know what. It really doesn't

219
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: look that bad. It feels light. I've never had my

220
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: head fully shaved. I've had it, I've had it tight,

221
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: I've had it low, but I've never had it completely

222
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: shaved before it. And I still got some chunks that

223
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: I can feel in the back. So I'm gonna have

224
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: to go back over it again. But we're not shaving

225
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the beard. We're leaving the beard. I can't go full,

226
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, full bald here everywhere. So Belt today goes

227
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: to the rookie Ben Rice. All right, let's go ahead

228
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: and get a few super chats here. Vincent wore Watlington says,

229
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: good going in the chat for Anthony Rizzo. Anthony Rizzo

230
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: hopefully sees the writing on the wall because Ben Rice

231
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: has just wally pipped him of f Semenski says, time

232
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: to get Ben Rice a lower number. That's what I've

233
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: been saying. I feel like he's a thirty one or

234
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a twenty nine. He's in that range, but he might

235
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: want to stick with it now because he's off to

236
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: such a good start. You know that baseball players are superstitious.

237
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: Lou Ram says, Big Ben loved the kid belt for

238
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: the rookie. What a day for him. Absolutely great performance

239
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: by the rookie. First belt. We'll go over the belt

240
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: leaderboard here in just a second. A few more super chats.

241
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Rico to gamer, says Ben Freakin'. Aarraws I don't know

242
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: what that means, but Aaron El says, I think we

243
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: found your new look. You think so? I mean, honestly,

244
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to fine tune it a little bit,

245
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: because you know, it's a little patche it's a little

246
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: rough in spots. I'm an amateur. I've never cut my

247
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: own hair before. This is the first other than you know,

248
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: trim or you know, nose hair or whatever. But this

249
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: first time I've ever shaved my own head. So h

250
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: zach g says Derek slowly looking like Brian Cashman. Oh man,

251
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: oh brother, I like it. Joe Bagg says, you look

252
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: full psycho. What was the name of that movie Taxi

253
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: Driver where de Niro shaves his head. I kind of

254
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: got a little taxi driver feeling right now. So Belly says,

255
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna change his last name. All right, absolutely, Hey,

256
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: it's about honor, ladies and gentlemen. It's about honor. Eric.

257
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: This is the first time that I've ever been paid

258
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: for a haircut. Because we're getting all these super chats now,

259
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: people wanting to chime in. Richard Kay says, thank you

260
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Devers for walking, for waking this team up. How do

261
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: we send him a case of minute rice? And then

262
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: Dylan Play says, man of his word, respect, I appreciate it.

263
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, right, all right, So let's go ahead

264
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: and take a look at the belt leaderboard because this

265
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: was ben Rice's first leader. Wow. I still whenever it

266
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: changes cameras and I see myself at a different angle

267
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: with you know, with no hair, I feel a little weird,

268
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: feel a little weird. Bro Juan Soto still the belt

269
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: leader at eleven. Luis Heal with seven, Aaron Judge with seven,

270
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodon with five, Cabrera with four, Rizzo and others

271
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: with three. Nester has three, Volpi has two, Stanton Clark Schmidt,

272
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: Trent Grisham, Verdugo and Marcus Stromanol with two, and then

273
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: several tied with one. But there's your belt leaderboards. Bryce

274
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: probably moving up those leaderboards sooner rather than later. Counting Twitter,

275
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: we have over twenty two hundred people in the chat.

276
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: I appreciate you. We're on a mission to get to

277
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: fifty dollars subscribers, so go ahead and subscribe to the channel,

278
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: like the video, all that stuff. We had a pretty

279
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: good couple of days, even though the Yankees have been

280
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: pretty bad. People finding the channel, people calling into the

281
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: voicemail reminder you can call in seven pine, eight, eight, nine, nine,

282
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: ten sixty eight. I'm gonna go ahead and put the

283
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: fun hat back on because I'm tired of looking at

284
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: my bald ass head. Uh. Terrence Camp says, I'll see

285
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. You ball Terrence on the show tomorrow. After

286
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: the game shout out to tk Ian says, no belts

287
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: for labor shocking. I tell you I thought he had one.

288
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: I think he might be one of the several that's

289
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: tied with one. Kevin Barry says, it looks a little shiny.

290
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: Can you turn down the h D. I'm definitely gonna

291
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: have to figure out how to be a bald person. Now.

292
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: You know, I've been I've been joking with Eric Kratz

293
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: and we all know Eric Kratz is you know, he's

294
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: not exactly president of the hair Club for men, And

295
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 1: you know we see each other in the production meeting

296
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: and I told him, you know, the hair line keeps receding.

297
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: My camera that shows me is from above. I said,

298
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: if one day it gets too shiny, just let me

299
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: know and I'll go ahead and buzz it all off.

300
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: And unfortunately we beat him to the punch there. But

301
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: ben Rice is the one to blame. But Jao says,

302
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: did you miss the shaving? Unfortunately you did, but it

303
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: will be archives so you can go back and watch

304
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: later on. We got a couple more super chats. Robert D.

305
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 1: Fernandido says, this is the place for crazy Yankees fans,

306
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: and you are our leader. I appreciate that. And then

307
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: the law of divine one that says another well known

308
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: Derek also shaves his head, Derek Jeter. You know, my

309
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: middle name is Peter, so my name is really just

310
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: one letter off from being Derek Cheter. Isn't that funny

311
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: spelled the same way? You know? I'm also my bank

312
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: account's a little bit different, and you know I didn't

313
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: get any Hall of Fame votes. But all right, final

314
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: thoughts here. Yankees wrap up a big win against the

315
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: Boston Red Sox and they even the series. Hopefully you

316
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: can get the series tomorrow. We need the offense to

317
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: keep clicking. I hope we didn't spend it all on

318
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: one day. Ben Rice obviously one of the most unforgettable

319
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: games by a Yankees rookie in history. This is gonna

320
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: go down as a Yankees classic for all time. So hey,

321
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: great job by the kid, great job by the team.

322
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of you who tuned in to see

323
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: me embarrass myself with the head shaving, but Mark Standrews says,

324
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: Yankees keep winning fun hat covers the bald head. All right,
