1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Welcome who's got neil ya? 2 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: Just when they up, they pulled me back? 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: How hello? How are you welcome back? Everybody? Welcome back. 4 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: For years, the baseball pundits and a lot of fans 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: have debated whether or not clutch is an actual characteristic 6 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: that baseball players possess, or whether or not it's just 7 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: the randomness of baseball and that you know, the percentages 8 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 1: are that every once in a while, somebody's gonna have 9 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,160 Speaker 1: a hot streak at the right time. Derek Jeter always 10 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: said that clutch was a thing, and having watched him, 11 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,279 Speaker 1: I agree that clutch is a thing. It definitely was 12 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: for him, and I think that last night John Carlos 13 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: Stanton provided more evidence that Derek Jeter and the pundits 14 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: who claim that clutch is a thing are correct. And 15 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about the home run or the 16 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: hardline drive single. What got me was the stolen base. 17 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Stanton just flat out would not even consider 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: stealing a base during the regular season. He hasn't done 19 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,960 Speaker 1: it in years, But last night he took second base, 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: which tells me that he's feeling confident. And I believe 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: that clutch is a product of confidence and that they 22 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: fuel one another. The more confident you get, the more 23 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: clutch you are, and the more clutch you perform, the 24 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,199 Speaker 1: more confidence grows within you. I couldn't believe my fucking 25 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: eyes when he stole second base. I had to pinch 26 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: myself to make sure it was a dream. You know, 27 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: sometimes when you're in a dream and it's just kind 28 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: of a mundane situation. Maybe you're taking a stroll through 29 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: your house and you go to open up the refrigerator 30 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: and instead of leftover chicken wings, it's a portal to 31 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: another dimension inside your fridge, and you kind of have 32 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: to stop yourself and say, hey, you know, this might 33 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: not be real, and then you wake up. That's how 34 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I felt watching John Carlos Stanton steal a base last night, 35 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: and I was pinching myself. I was trying to wake up. 36 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna wake up and it was 37 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: gonna be my morning voicemail show, and I was gonna 38 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: have to tell you guys about this dream I had 39 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: that John Carlos stole a base, and you guys were 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: gonna tell me how unrealistic that sounded, But here we are. 41 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: It was reality. And the Yankees one last night behind 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: John Carlos Stanton three hits, including an enormous home run 43 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: and yes, a stolen base, and now they lead the 44 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: Alds two games to one. And all of the crap 45 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: that we give John Carlos Stanton about missing time, about 46 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: missing sliders, about being slow, the man just continues to 47 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: come up big every year in the postseason. So yeah, clutch, 48 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: I believe, is a thing, and I think we're seeing 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: that from other guys too. Luke Weaver has been insanely 50 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: clutch this postseason, insanely clutch, and he's been the best 51 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: closer in the playoffs in my opinion since Mariano Rivera, 52 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: because he's going multiple any he's getting more than three outs, 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: five six outs, they'll leave him in there, and he's 54 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: throwing strikes. He's unfhazed, he's blown it by guys. He's 55 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: got that, you know, upper nineties fastball with a high 56 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: spin rate, great change up, and he's he's coming through 57 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: when it matters the most. Clay Holmes has been extremely 58 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: clutched this postseason. I know I wasn't expecting to say 59 00:03:53,440 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: that sentence, but yes, clutch is a thing, and if 60 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: you believe in clutch, that doesn't necessarily mean that you 61 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: believe in do, which is another concept that people debate. 62 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: They think that statistically, if someone is good and they're 63 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: in a rut, eventually they're due. I do believe in DO, 64 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge, in my opinion, is due. But unfortunately 65 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: he has zero success against Michael Waka in his career. 66 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: I like that the hitting coach, his hitting coach flew 67 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: in and helped him make some adjustments. Last night, I 68 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: thought he swung the bat better. He smoked one one 69 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen miles an hour. We had one stupid 70 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: comment last night that said, doesn't matter how hard you hit, it, 71 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: just need hits. Well, you know, Wade Boggs once said 72 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: you can only hit them, you can't aim them. And 73 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: you can tell that someone who makes that kind of 74 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: comment has never played baseball. Judge smoked one last night. 75 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: He also just missed a home run. He's coming back soon, 76 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: and I think he's due. And I think tonight, despite 77 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: his lack of success against Michael Waka, could be the night. 78 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: But even if it isn't, the Yankees still have a 79 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: decent chance. Another commenter said that Judge shouldn't have to 80 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: work on his swing and put work in quotation marks 81 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: like practicing and mechanical adjustments aren't work. 82 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: Listen. 83 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: We try and be positive on this channel, but there's 84 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: a lot of toxic fans out there that just want 85 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: to hate no matter what. And if you're one of 86 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: those people, I kindly invite you to fuck off to 87 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: another channel because we're here to win and to experience 88 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: the joy of making a championship run together, and I'm 89 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna remain positive even though his lack of success against 90 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: Michael Waka is going to be an issue. I think 91 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Judge is gonna come in tonight and get a couple 92 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: of big hits. But you have to keep in mind 93 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 1: that these teams are doing everything that they can to 94 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: prevent the Superstars from beating. The Yankees have managed to 95 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: keep Bobby Witt Junior at bay, and the Royals have 96 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: managed to keep Aaron Judge at bay. But it's only 97 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: a matter of time for both of these guys, and 98 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see which superstar breaks through first, 99 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Judge or Bobby Witt Junior, and we might find out tonight. 100 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: And before we get to your voicemails, one more thing 101 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: we gotta talk about Garrett Cole, because he is gonna 102 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: be the subject of a lot of Yankees fans anxiety today, 103 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: including my own. Rarely is he awful. I mean, you 104 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: just don't see him get smoked for seven eight runs 105 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: that often. It happened against the Red Sox after the 106 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: walk to Devers, it happened against the Red Sox and 107 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: the playoffs a few years ago. But I think it 108 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: comes down to whether or not he's gonna be dominating 109 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: tonight or mediocre. I don't think he's gonna get smashed. 110 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get bombed. In Game one, 111 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: he was mediocre. His stuff was down, his velocity wasn't great, 112 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: his breaking ball wasn't sharp. He was leaving a lot 113 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: of pitches out over the plate. But I think that 114 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: could have been a product of the extended rest. We 115 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: talked about how he's a creature of habit, like a 116 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: lot of starting pitchers. I want to see the Garrett 117 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: Cole that we saw against the Orioles in his final start. 118 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: If he does that, I like our chances of going 119 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: to the Alcs. But until he goes out there and 120 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: does it, I'm gonna be nervous and for some reason 121 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: if the Yankees don't win tonight, I don't like our prospects. 122 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: In Game five. We're facing Cole Reagan's again, and we 123 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: got Carlos Rodin on the mound, who just imploded. I 124 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: don't think any of us want to count on Carlos 125 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: Rodin in a must win situation, especially against a team 126 00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: that just cleaned his clock. So I feel like tonight 127 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: is even more of a must win than last night was. 128 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: When Kratzy was on the other day, he predicted a split. 129 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: I think the Yankees gonna gonna win tonight. I think 130 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna win this series in four. I thought they 131 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: were gonna win three. They had a tough time in 132 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: Game two. But last night John Carlos Steele in second 133 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: getting the big home run. It seemed to lift the 134 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: pressure off of these guys very quietly. Anthony Volpi has 135 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: been on base six out of his twelve played appearances. 136 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: Oswaldo Cabrera continues to draw walks and get on base. 137 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: Soto really hasn't done much yet, and you know that's 138 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: gonna happen. He had a few hits in Game one, 139 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: but he hasn't demonstrated any kind of home run power 140 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: yet or anything like that. Tonight's gonna be a very 141 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: interesting game if you are a Yankees fan and I 142 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: am completely psyched. Gregory Wayne says, ideal pitching scenario tonight 143 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: is Cole goes six. He'll goes three alds over Yanks win. 144 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll do that. I think they're gonna 145 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: use their bullpen the way they used it last night. 146 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna see Holmes, You're gonna see Ian Hamilton, You're 147 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: gonna see Jake Cousins, You're gonna see Luke Weaver. I 148 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: think the ideal scenario is Garrett Cole throws seven shutout innings, Yankees' 149 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: lead five to six, nothing, then you go to Hamilton 150 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: for three outs, and you go to Weaver for three outs, 151 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: and then you go back home and prepare for either 152 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: the Tigers or the Guardians. Tigers are tough too, that 153 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: could be a tough ALCS. There's a couple of teams 154 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: out there carrying that kind of momentum like we saw 155 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: from the Diamondbacks last year. Tigers are one of them, 156 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: Mets or the other. So Kate c says, we need 157 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: to get fired up. Are these dudes hungry or not? 158 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: I believe they are hungry. I'm hungry, creeping towards lunchtime. 159 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: But I really want to see Garrett Cole come out 160 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: and establish that he's using the fastball early, that he's 161 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 1: thrown his curveball for strikes, that he can throw his 162 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: curveball for strikes early in the count, get ahead with 163 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: the breaking ball, and that makes his fastball play up 164 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: even better. He doesn't have the ninety nine one hundred 165 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: like he used to when he was throwing ninety nine 166 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: one hundred miles an hour. He was almost unbeatable back 167 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: when he was with Houston, almost unhittable. But we really 168 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: have never seen that guy with the Yankees. We saw 169 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: it for stretches during the regular season a few times. 170 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: Last year he won the Cy Young We saw it 171 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: against the Guardians in I want to say, the twenty 172 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: twenty playoffs, but big packed house in Kaufman tonight. I 173 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: want to see him silence that place. I want to 174 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: see him shut that lineup down. Richard Seas says, any 175 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: chance we see heal today, Honestly, I hope not. I 176 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: want Garrett Cole deal in seven innings, maybe even eight, 177 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: hand it over the bullpen. I know, we all like 178 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: what he'l did during the regular season, but I don't 179 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: trust him out of the bullpen. He hasn't pitched out 180 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: of the bullpen. I think he's gonna be used as 181 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: a starter in the league championship series should the Yankees 182 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: get there. That's what it's looking like, all right. So 183 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: this is a voicemail show, so we've got ten voicemails 184 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: to get to. I've got to run an ad for Hewel, 185 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: which I will do right now.

All right, let's go ahead and take a 206 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: few voicemails. We're gonna start with Tea Woods. 207 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, this is Tea Wood and I just wanted 208 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 4: to talk about Jim Carlos after that big game tonight. 209 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 4: As a Yankee fan, we always have this love hate 210 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: relationship with the guy. But man, when it comes post 211 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: to you in time, you can only can't help but 212 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: love him, especially after that stolen base out of nowhere 213 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,839 Speaker 4: today and his clutch hitting. I really hope he rubs 214 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 4: off on Judge and if we win number twenty eighth 215 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 4: this year, whatever crappy contract he's signed to will be 216 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 4: worth it. 217 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: Thanks go Yankees. 218 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Absolutely agree. If he helps the Yankees win a World Series, 219 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: and he's helped them advance to several rounds in the past, 220 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: because he's swung the bat so well in the playoffs, 221 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: it makes that contract much more palatable. And I got 222 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: nothing but respect for the type of competitor that John 223 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton is. He's always been a competitor. He's always 224 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: been accountable when he's been injured or not been swinging 225 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: the bat well. The issue has been that he hasn't 226 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: been on the field much as we would like, but 227 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: he always seems to be there when the playoffs begin 228 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: and he always seems to hit. So hey, gotta love 229 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: the guy. 230 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 6: What's going on, Derek this Brian oh Man, what a good. 231 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,479 Speaker 3: Game again last night. Judge still hasn't really clicked or really. 232 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 7: Uh, I don't know. It just seems that he's kind 233 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 7: of pressing a little bit too much, swinging at pitches 234 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 7: he normally wouldn't be swinging. 235 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 8: At a lot of pitchers pitches, and. 236 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: I don't know, it just looks. 237 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 8: Like he's trying a little bit too hard from what 238 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 8: he was doing all year long. 239 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, what I'm seeing from Judge isn't necessarily that 240 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: he's swinging at bad pitches, although he's maybe hacked at 241 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: a couple of pitches that he would normally take. It said, 242 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: he's swinging through fastballs over the plate. Now I get it, 243 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: there's been some high velocity on these pitches. Reagan's throwing 244 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: ninety seven ninety eight. Couple of these relievers throw ninety 245 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: eight ninety nine. But the fact that he drew a 246 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: walk last night showed me he was patient. The good swings, 247 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: the hard hit balls all positive signs from Aaron Judge, 248 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: and I truly believe he is on the brink one 249 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: of the next two games. Ideally, the Yankees would win tonight, 250 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: and he would spend the next few days tinkering with 251 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: that swing. Maybe he has a big hit tonight, gets 252 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: him feeling good, and he spends the next few days, 253 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: you know, polishing up his mechanics so that he goes 254 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: into the ALCS hot. Because if we have a red 255 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: hot Aaron Judge in the ALCS, I'm sorry, we're going 256 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: to the World Series. 257 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 5: Hey Derek, it's coming from New Jersey. I love your show. 258 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 5: Shows with The New York Football Show with Justin and 259 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 5: Frankie very nice shows. But in all seriousness, I mean 260 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 5: leaving Clark Schmidt ind in the fifth inning way too long, 261 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: big mistake by Boom, but overall amazing win, huge swing 262 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 5: by John Carlow, and I hope Cole can close out 263 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 5: the series tomorrow night. As you said, we need the assassin. 264 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 5: Thanks Terry Copy, good day. 265 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. I want to see the Garrett Cole. That's intense. 266 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: I want to see the guy who's out there to win, 267 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: who's pumping his fist, who's screaming after big strikeouts. That's 268 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: the that's the Garrett Cole that I want. But also 269 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: you don't want to go overboard with that. We saw 270 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: that with Carlos Rodan, and you can use too much 271 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: of that adrenaline early. What ideally you want is for 272 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: him to have an even pace, an even demeanor for 273 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: much of the game, and as he continues to dominate, 274 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: get more and more pumped up, and then finish off 275 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: with a flurry with a big strikeout to close out 276 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: the seventh inning and just silence the crowd, walk off 277 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: the field screaming, yelling. That's what I want. That's the 278 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 1: type of shit that gets me pumped up. That's what 279 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: we need. Let's talk about Bob Costas. 280 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I forgot to tell you. I totally agree with 281 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: you about Costas. He's horrible. He's a joke. I don't 282 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: know how he's gotten such a good reputation over the years. 283 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 3: I really don't know. And he's allows the announcer. He's 284 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: off Homer two or he's always rooting for one team 285 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: over the other, either either direction. He's been around over 286 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 3: forty years. By the way, the first time I remember 287 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: seeing him was in nineteen eighty two we did a 288 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 3: Steeler game. I'll never forget, and uh I forget. I 289 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 3: think he's with Bob Trumpy. I'm not sure it's a 290 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 3: while ago, but uh yeah, he's been around too long. 291 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 3: As far as I'm concerned, it's time to put him 292 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 3: out the pasture. 293 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 5: They're right, take it easy, all. 294 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: Right, Rob appreciate that, so I don't. I don't think 295 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: Bob Costas is a bad I think he's a Hall 296 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 1: of Fame broadcaster. But he's at the point in his 297 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: career where his stick, his style, it's it's out of 298 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: touch with today's game and with today's audience a little bit. 299 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: I feel like he doesn't let the game breathe. I 300 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: feel like he just doesn't let any dead air come through. 301 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: I want to hear the crowd, I want to hear 302 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: the game sounds. I don't need every camera shot to 303 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: lead to a four or five minute story about something 304 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: that happened thirty five years ago. I'm sorry, I just 305 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: don't give a shit. I want to watch the game. 306 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to see George Brett in the camera 307 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: shot for an entire two innings. I don't need to 308 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 1: see that. I want to watch the game. That's what 309 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: we're tuning in for. And look, I have an immense 310 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: respect for what Bob Costas has done in his career, 311 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: but let's face it, the man has lost his fastball 312 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: and it felt like we were listening to the Bob 313 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: Costas podcast, the podcastas that's what he should call it, 314 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: and I'm just over it. That's why I switched last 315 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: night to John and Susan. 316 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 7: Hey, Derek, this is Harrison. I got a question for you. 317 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 7: Why do you think we haven't seen Luis Heel yet? 318 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 7: And do you think that we'll see him at all, 319 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 7: either in this series or in the ALCS if we 320 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 7: make it there, or even in the World Series. I 321 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 7: kind of thought he would be an X factor coming 322 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 7: into this series. He's got really great stuff, obviously at 323 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 7: control issues. His last few starts weren't great, but he's 324 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 7: had some good starts recently. I thought they would put 325 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 7: him in the bullpen. I figured Clark would be the 326 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 7: Game three starter, but I thought to Heel would at 327 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 7: least go to maybe even three innings in the bullpen. 328 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 7: Are they just scared to play him or do you 329 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 7: think he doesn't have a stuff it's going on? 330 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why they're not using him. My guess 331 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: is because he's never pitched out of the bullpen before 332 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: and they're worried about how he You will respond to that. 333 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: You can't be walking guys. It's been three close games 334 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: in a row, and you can't issue walks in close games. 335 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: And so that, you know, that leads me to believe 336 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: that they're trying to avoid, you know, putting runners on base. 337 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: If the Yankees go to the ALCS, I firmly expect 338 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: him to be the game for or maybe even the 339 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: Game three starter, depending on, you know, how the rotation 340 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: lines up, you know, based on how long this series goes, 341 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: how you have to use you know, Garrett Cole, whether 342 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: you use Carlos Rodon in a Game five, I think 343 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: you'll see Luis Heo you have to in the ALCS. 344 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: I also think that you'll see Jason Dominiez in the ALCS. 345 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,199 Speaker 1: And because he's on the roster for the DS, I 346 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: mean it leads me to believe he'll be on the 347 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: roster for the ALCS. That means my prediction that he 348 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: would be ALCS MVP is still in play. I got 349 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: a cat rubbing up against me right now. Dexter wants 350 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: to get on screen here, let's talk a little bit 351 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: about g Unit my name? 352 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, good, big Dunit. How's the rod in October? 353 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: I really like that Aaron judges improvement tonight. I think 354 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: he had some better swings and let's go cold big 355 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 2: game four outing we need? Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah. 356 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: Love the enthusiasm, Love the enthusiasm. 357 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 9: Hey guys, it's Jason from Kansas City. Love watching the show. 358 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 9: And I hope my Royals do more like Game two 359 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 9: than Game three tonight. But I was glad it was 360 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 9: a close game. It made it fun. Thanks for talking 361 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 9: about it. 362 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: I appreciate that call, and for the most part, the 363 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: Royals fan base has been extremely classy in this series. 364 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: You know, when we play the Blue Jays or the 365 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: Orioles or the Red Sox, a lot of fans from 366 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: other teams will come in and flood our comments with 367 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: garbage and crap and try and you know, poke the 368 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: bear and try and stir up nonsense. The case fans 369 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: really haven't done that. There was one coming that we 370 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: got today. I'll see if I can pull it up 371 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: real quick. That was complaining about the umpire. And this 372 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: guy said that we had forty two blown calls by 373 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: the umpire last night, which I think is nonsense. Here, 374 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: let me just show this. This is from just a 375 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: complete moron says, forty two strikes called balls for the 376 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: Yankees yesterday only scored three with forty two strikes being called. 377 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: I don't think there were forty two miss called. I 378 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 1: just we haven't seen the ump scorecard yet, but that 379 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 1: seems like a ridiculous number. And there's no way it 380 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: was that bad. He said, sohotos four pitch walk all strikes, 381 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: that's BS says. Just go to ESPN's play by playing 382 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: look at the pitches. Well that's that's I mean, imprecise 383 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: and he says, sure, you'll have some idiot Yankee fans 384 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: tell me to cry more. I'll be that idiot Yankees fan. 385 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: Cry more. Bitch Yanks are going to send you guys 386 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: to the season tonight. 387 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 8: Hey, Derek Big fan conc is Matt Conston Texas a 388 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 8: great win. Hopefully he can look at the series tomorrow. 389 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 8: Stanton Man, he was he was thinking night and I 390 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 8: think he's starting to eat up. This is a guy 391 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 8: when you need going forward. Hopefully, you know, if he 392 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 8: can make a win of the World Series, Stampton's gonna 393 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 8: be a first rising way. Also, Judge Manual, Judge is 394 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 8: might guy and annual. 395 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 6: You know his. 396 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 8: I guess his a performance in everything what we've all wanted. 397 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 8: But I did see some posits about a lot better 398 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 8: and I feel like he's getting ready to get us 399 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 8: to get hot again. 400 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: So hopefully all appreciate the call. Yeah, we're going to 401 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: see Judge bust out tonight, I really think so. I 402 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: think having his hitting coach right there on site and 403 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: just making a couple of little tweaks, it's gonna get 404 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: his confidence going. I think he's coming through tonight. Despite 405 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: the lack of success against wakap. 406 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 6: Last was Ray Kwan calling. I like the way our 407 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 6: team competed tonight. It was a tough fault win, and 408 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 6: I give Stanton credit. He showed a little bit of 409 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 6: speed there with that stolen base, but also. 410 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 5: He carried our team. He came through. 411 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 6: He came through in a big spot for us, and 412 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 6: Judge I liked his at bat tonight. His first at 413 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 6: bet it was a line out, but his second at 414 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 6: bet he just missed a home run. And the Yankees 415 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 6: have to bring it tomorrow night. There's no room for 416 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 6: Era and guys. Guys have to go out there and 417 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 6: play like his game seven tomorrow night. 418 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: Gotta play like it's do or die, because the real 419 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: reality is anything can happen in a game five one error, 420 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: a ball hits a bag, a bad throw, you know, 421 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: augusta wind at the wrong time. Anything can change a 422 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: elimination game, a winner, go home game. And you don't 423 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: want to have to deal with that kind of randomness. 424 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: You have your ace on the mound tonight. Who you're 425 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: paying thirty six million two tonight he has to earn it. 426 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: I will see you guys after the game, probably around 427 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: eleven PM.
