1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: He's going to talk.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 2: It's all.

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 3: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. April fourteenth, twenty twenty five.

4
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 3: Yankees are still in first place for the moment. But

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 3: we're going to start off today with something a little different.

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 3: We're going to play a mean voicemail because occasionally, when

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: the Yankees are playing bad fans, usually the older people

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 3: who have nothing better to do, who can't just turn

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: off the game and go enjoy life because their life

10
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 3: is quickly coming to an end. Occasionally they'll call in

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 3: and be rather upset about the Yankees and they'll take

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: it out on me. So let's start with a mean voicemail,

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 3: which I will have a response for momentarily.

14
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: Hello, Derek, this is allan down in Fladaville. I'm a

15
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 4: third generation Yankee fan. I watch you all the time,

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 4: and you seem to think that you're the greatest batting coach.

17
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: You're a hitting coach, you're a pitching coach. You think

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 4: you know it all, but you really don't understand. The

19
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 4: Yankees are horrible. They have so many holes in their team.

20
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 4: Don't know what to do anymore. But stop giving advice

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 4: to a little league is how to play the outfield?

22
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: Because you really don't know what you're talking about. Anyway,

23
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 4: I hope the Yankees do better, and I hope you

24
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 4: learn your lesson about being such a great sportscaster because.

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 5: You're not so.

26
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: First of all, if anybody wants this guy's number, go

27
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: ahead and call me up Oric, go ahead and message

28
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: me on Twitter or something, and we'll give him a call.

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: We'll tell them what we think anyway. Allen from Fort Lauderdale,

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: First off, thanks for watching all the time. You said

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: you watch all the time. That alone makes your message hilarious.

32
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: You're not that great. I typically don't watch things that

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: I don't like. If you don't like me, why are

34
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: you glued to my podcast like a lonely moth to

35
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: a frickin' porch light. Let me guess nothing else going

36
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: on between shuffleboard tournaments and yelling at your hoa. You

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: say I don't know what I'm talking about, Buddy, I

38
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: have played, I have coached, I have scouted, But more importantly,

39
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: it's my damn job to know what I'm talking about.

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 3: I don't need your permission to say what I think

41
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 3: is relevant on my own show. I watch with my

42
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: eyes open. I understand the game clearly better than someone

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: who's biggest flex is that they're a third generation fin

44
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 3: You inherited fandom, and let's get real, you were not

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: mad at me. You were mad at the Yankees. You

46
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: were in your feelings because your favorite team had a

47
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: bad week and your life is so lame that you're coping.

48
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: Medicine mechanism is to call into a podcast and leave

49
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: a voicemail tantrum like a little bitch. You sound like

50
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,399
Speaker 3: the kind of guy whose wife left him years ago

51
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: because you were more passionate about your fantasy league team

52
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: than your marriage. By the way, the team you're melting

53
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: down over above five hundred and at the top of

54
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: the division right now. So go complain on your Facebook

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: group about how the grandkids don't call. I can't imagine why.

56
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: Just a reminder, folks, I'm providing free content. I have

57
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: done a lot of coaching, I have done a lot

58
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: of scouting. No, I didn't play in the major leagues,

59
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: but you don't have to be able to build a

60
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: clock to know how to tell time. I've had some

61
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: of the greatest coaches that have ever lived in one

62
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: of the best baseball states in the country, North Carolina.

63
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: And I've coached men for a law long time, and

64
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: I've scouted, I've played against some of the best pros

65
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: that have ever come out of this state, like Josh Hamilton.

66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: And I work in baseball with professional athletes. And you

67
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: think we don't talk about stuff. You don't have to

68
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: take my advice on fundamentals if you're eighty years old

69
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 3: like this clown. But if I can help out one

70
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: kid out there to maybe pick up a ball correctly

71
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 3: off the warning track so that they don't make a mistake,

72
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: maybe they'll learn. You know, people intake messages or knowledge

73
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: in a different in their own way. If I can

74
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: help one kid, it's worth it, So kiss my podcasting ass. Anyway,

75
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: back to the normal schedule, Yankees playing in the evenings,

76
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: which means we have more time in the morning for voicemail.

77
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: Sorry for that little five minute rant to begin the show.

78
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: I don't want to do that, but this guy calling

79
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: me up, and that's first thing I gotta listen in

80
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: the morning. If you hate the show so much, don't

81
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 3: even fucking call. Don't even listen. Nobody wants you, Nobody

82
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 3: cares about you or knows who you are. Nobody wants

83
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 3: to hear your opinion. If they did, they'd be tuning

84
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: into you.

85
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 5: What a clown.

86
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: Anyway, hopefully Yankees can put together some wins. Let's talk

87
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: about the help that is on the way this week.

88
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: Clark Schmidt will be back on Wednesday, and I wanted

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 3: to remind you guys how good this guy was. I

90
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: mean in an era under three last year, and I

91
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: feel like he was just maturing as a pitcher and

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 3: coming into his own when he suffered the oblique strain

93
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: last year that kept him out for a few months.

94
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: And when he came back, you could tell that he

95
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: was kind of pitching tentatively and he didn't quite get

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: back to where he was before he got hurt. Now,

97
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 3: hopefully this injury won't set him back. He was kind

98
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 3: of slow to ramp up this year. But if he

99
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: can be that guy who can get past the fifth

100
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 3: inning and still keep you in the game seventh inning,

101
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 3: that would be a huge, huge addition to the rotation.

102
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: Huge But the Yankees have finally gotten to the point

103
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: where they are grasping for straws for pitchers. Carlos Carrasco

104
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: will talk about him in a second. He has not

105
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: been impressive Carlos Rodin meatball factory, So they need somebody

106
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: to step up pretty soon. We're gonna have Jonathan lo

107
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 3: Why is we gonna come back to the bullpen? That

108
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: will help us through some of these middle innings where

109
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: we're having trouble. Walks have been an issue for this

110
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: team more so than a year's past, and that's one

111
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: of the things that bothers me I mentioned this yesterday

112
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: on the postgame Show. When someone makes one or two mistakes,

113
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 3: you know, that's the wrong way to say that when

114
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: they say that someone has made one or two mistakes,

115
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: but you look at the box score and there's three walks.

116
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 3: To me, those are mistakes, especially when they come before

117
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: a home run. To me, one or two mistakes is

118
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 3: a guy who just misses a perfect game or just

119
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 3: misses a no hitter. That's one or two mistakes. Walking

120
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: guys allowing extra base hits home runs. Yesterday was not

121
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: a good start for Carlos Rodin. Walks are mistakes, even

122
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: if the walks don't score. Their mistakes because they're bullets

123
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: that are no longer in the chamber because you've spent them.

124
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: They are pitches you didn't need, so you know, I

125
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: really think that we could use Clark Schmidt to come

126
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 3: back and really set the tone for this rotation with

127
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: a really good start. On Wednesday night, we got Carrasco

128
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: versus Lugo tonight. Carrasco has not been impressive to me.

129
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: I told you guys not to get too excited by

130
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: what you saw in spring training when he was carving

131
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 3: up the minor leagues. I know, I don't know what

132
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: I'm talking about. I'm just some podcaster. What the hell

133
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: do I know? But I told you watch out. I'm

134
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: not impressed by this guy. Obviously not to the Tigers either.

135
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 3: They played home run derby against him. Now, he may

136
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,679
Speaker 3: pitch well because the Royals are not matching at the moment.

137
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: They have allowed more runs than they've scored. They've allowed

138
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: sixty runs, they've scored only fifty two. But I sincerely

139
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 3: hope that if he struggles, the Yankees will realize that

140
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: it's time to go in another direction, whether it's one

141
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: of the young guys, whether it's Cam Schlitler or Sean Boyle,

142
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: even somebody like Ben Hesse Bryce Cunningham who's barely made

143
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: their pro debut. But the fact that we're searching Double

144
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: A and High A for possible replacements. Just underscores how

145
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: thin the Yankees' pitching depth has been, and that is

146
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: on Brian Cashman. Sean Boyle is at Triple A, but

147
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 3: he is serviceable. Zach Messinger is somebody we could take

148
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 3: a look at Triple A. I just can't continue to

149
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: watch has Beens serve up four and five home runs

150
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 3: in a game and walk the ballpark. It's just not

151
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 3: fun baseball to watch. All right, Let's move on talk

152
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: about Paul Goldschmid. Paul Goldsmith our focus of the Inside

153
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: Edge data dive today five twenty nine average with two

154
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: outs in the inning, which is first in Major League Baseball.

155
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: The league average is two thirty one five point fifty

156
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: versus lefties in twenty twenty five, first in Major League Baseball,

157
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: which is good. The Yankees need somebody who can hit lefties.

158
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 3: They could use another one of these guys. Opoh percentage

159
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: against right handed pitchers like you'll be facing tonight is

160
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: forty six point seven, that is fourth in Major League Baseball.

161
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: We talked about all spring how he was making a

162
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: clear adjustment to try and use right field more, especially

163
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 3: with the short porch at Yankee Stadium. Now, you know,

164
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: he hasn't had a ton of slug this year, but

165
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 3: he got robbed of at least an extra base hit

166
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: possibly a home run yesterday, and he is slugging eight

167
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: sixty seven on fastballs, which is fourth in Major League Baseball.

168
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 3: So there's a lot of positives for Paul gold Schmidt,

169
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 3: and I feel like he could be a guy who

170
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: goes off here in the next few days. He's been

171
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: getting hits, he hasn't been slugging. I think slugging is next.

172
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about the prediction. We haven't done

173
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: an Noost for Derek prediction in a minute, but Ben

174
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: Rice is my prediction. We are three for seven on

175
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: the season with the predictions. I think Ben Rice obviously

176
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 3: will stay hot. Seth Lugo is not a guy who

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: throws overly hard. Now, he does throw nine pitches. That

178
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: could be trouble because it can keep you guessing as

179
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: a hitter. But Ben Rice has been swinging the bat

180
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: so well that I think he's going to connect on something.

181
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 3: And when he connects, he hits the ball hard, and

182
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: he hits the ball towards the gaps a lot, so

183
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm looking for a gapper, maybe a double into the

184
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: right field gap for ben Rice. I'm not gonna go

185
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: out of my way and predict a home run, although

186
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: it would be nice and that would count. But I'm

187
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: saying extra base hit for Ben Rice tonight as my

188
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: no stra deic prediction. Okay, we have one, two, three, four,

189
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 3: five voicemails. We'll talk about a scar As swing, we'll

190
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 3: talk about Michael King, we'll talk about things that don't rhyme.

191
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 3: But first, a quick word from our sponsor. You're finally

192
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: gonna get to see the ad from when I shaved.

193
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: This is for Harry's. In sports, the difference between winning

194
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: and losing is often razor thin, and it's great to

195
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: have an edge, and that's what you get with Harry's Razors,

196
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 3: the sponsor for today's episode. You might notice my beard

197
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: is gone. I did that because I wanted to test

198
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: out this razor that they sent me. I don't like

199
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: to pitch things unless I try them myself, and I

200
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: gotta say I am very impressed with Harry's razors. It

201
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: comes with five blades. These are German engineer there extremely

202
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: extremely sharp. I shaved two days ago and my face

203
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: still feels very smooth. I got the trial set. I

204
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 3: really enjoy the weighted handle. It gives me like a

205
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: nice feeling of control over the razor. I don't have

206
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 3: to worry about cutting myself. Their trial set is thirteen dollars,

207
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,719

00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,000

212
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: All right, Harry's I'll tell you what man. They It

213
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 3: really is a close shaving razor. Usually when I shave,

214
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: by the next day I have kind of like a

215
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 3: five o'clock shadow. I shaved on Saturday morning, okay, and

216
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 3: it's just now starting to have like maybe a three

217
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: o'clock shadow. So I mean, this thing really really made

218
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 3: a close shave.

219
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

220
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: Next thing we gotta do is we got a couple

221
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 3: of comments here Lars saying nice things about the podcast.

222
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 3: I appreciate that from a sixty seven year old Florida retiree.

223
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to insult all Florida retirees, just that guy,

224
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: just that one guy, Kurt, I have best dog ever.

225
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you. I have

226
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: the best ever Pepper. She is the best. But he

227
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: says that lance Lynn should be a Yankee, that they

228
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: should make him an offer that he can't refuse. I

229
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: really liked lance Lynn. He's a guy who doesn't quite

230
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: have the fastball that he used to, which was his

231
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: primary pitch to get people out. He was a high

232
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: spin rate, high fastball guy. But you know, I'd certainly

233
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 3: rather see him than Carlos Carrasco, that's for sure. Aj

234
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 3: Chan says, this is like our big slump last summer.

235
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Rather get it out of the way now and get

236
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: hot later in the year. Well, getting it out of

237
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: the way now doesn't necessarily mean that they will get

238
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 3: hot or that they won't slump again later. I still

239
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 3: think there could be another slump coming. I mean there's

240
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: slump's every year. You'd much rather get off to a

241
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: good start than a bad one. And bh D Colap

242
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: says ben Rice gonna be the backup catcher when Stanton returns.

243
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: I certainly hope not. First of all, Escara looks good

244
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: and we do have a call about him, So let's

245
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: go ahead and get to that.

246
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, same here for Miami Florida. I was watching

247
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: your recap of the Giant Nanky game. You're wondering who

248
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: a scar reminds you of? Jose Batista. His swing is

249
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: very much Jose Batista. I'm convinced that's who you're thinking of.

250
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: That that's quick question. What are we gonna do with

251
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: our pitching man? Like, I know we're getting Schmid Max.

252
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: He was meant to come back, but he's gonna He's

253
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna be delayed lap Strain. I saw reports that Cole

254
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: may be back by September, but that seems dubious. Are

255
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: we content to go through the season with freed Rodan Schmidt?

256
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: I assume Will Warren and Cookie.

257
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 6: That just doesn't seem like a playoff roster. That doesn't

258
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: see like a World Series winning rotation. We get to

259
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 6: feel back at least by September five, we'll make one that.

260
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 6: I think we'll make it the playoffs, but it makes

261
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 6: me very worried.

262
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't see us giving up.

263
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 6: Enough the trade for al Conca.

264
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: I just don't see what we can do.

265
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 6: It just feels like we've done such a good job.

266
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: We'rebuilding the offense and it's just gonna be a waste

267
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: and season because of injuries. Once again, thank you.

268
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: So Sandy al Contra is somebody that I really like.

269
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: With the Marlins, I could see the Yankees anteing up.

270
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 3: Problem is they don't have a lot of other pitching depth.

271
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I really think that they might have to

272
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: rely on some of these low A guys, and then

273
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: you're dealing with a whole other set of problems, you know,

274
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: growing pains that come with being a young pitcher, a

275
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: scars swing. Comparing that to Jose Bautista. I really like that.

276
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 3: My other friend Brett sent me one, he said, Nick Johnson,

277
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: which I like. That's another good one. But I think

278
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: the guy that I've been thinking of is Ramiro Paina,

279
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: who was with the Yankees for a while. He was

280
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 3: never a great hitter, but if you go look at

281
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: their stances and their swings very similar. So Ramiro Paanya

282
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: is kind of who I'm thinking of. We've got another

283
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 3: call here from Derek in Ohio, and he is the

284
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: guy who authored I'm so Sick of this shit that one.

285
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: Hey, Derek, Derek and Ohio Carlos Rodon is the Glaber

286
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: Torres of our pitching staff, low baseball IQ and can

287
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 5: never get in the right headspace. Why in the world

288
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: would he throw the same hanging curveball to Lee in

289
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: the sixth as he did in the fourth and expect

290
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 5: a different result. It's beyond me. And you got to

291
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: assume that he's calling the pitches because Jac's a rookie.

292
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: So we are in for a long season. If Freed

293
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 5: is going to be the only viable starter, all right,

294
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 5: That's all I got about it.

295
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: I think that's an app to comparison Glabor Torres and

296
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: his mentality and his lack of focus to Carlos Rodon

297
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: and his lack of focus and just making stupid mistakes. Yeah,

298
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: I agree with you. It was bad pitch selection, it

299
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: was bad pitch execution, and he is now posting a

300
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: five point four to eight ERA on the season. Not good,

301
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: Laurie Cess labora Toory is still getting shade. Poor guy.

302
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 3: Well not for he does better than most of us.

303
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 7: Hey, Derek Austin, So I watched Michael King for a complete.

304
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 5: Game shoutout yesterday.

305
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 7: Man, he looks really good.

306
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: He's such a great picture.

307
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 7: You know, it's really kind of crappy that we lost him.

308
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 7: I mean, I was very grateful to watch one Soto play.

309
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 7: You know, it was an amazing season, but you know,

310
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 7: with the fifth inning and the embarrassment and the loss

311
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 7: in the World Series, despite the fact that we get there,

312
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: I can't help feeling sometimes that, man, was it worth it?

313
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 7: You know, especially in the condition that.

314
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: We are now. But I know Clark Smith's coming back.

315
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 7: I know we're gonna be expecting a lot from him,

316
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 7: but I wonder if we could revisit the conversation about

317
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 7: who could possibly be on the trade block, Like I

318
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 7: just don't see San Diego trading with how well they're starting,

319
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 7: you know, I'm thinking about all these other pictures that

320
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 7: might be worth it. Like I don't know about Sandy

321
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 7: al Kantari. He's pitching okay to start the season, you know,

322
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 7: But everybody else seems like they're either you know, like

323
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 7: under a contract extension, like you know, Hunter Green love

324
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 7: Hunter Green, but he's you know, on a contract extension

325
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 7: with the Reds, or guys like Logan Gilbert, who I

326
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 7: also really like, who who are under contract through twenty

327
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 7: twenty seven. It seems like a lot of these guys

328
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 7: just aren't going to be available for a couple of years,

329
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 7: so it's either all right.

330
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: So you're seeing now why pitchers get paid hundreds of

331
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 3: millions of dollars even though they're extremely fragile and break down.

332
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: It's because there's so few of them that are good

333
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: right supply and demand. There's not a lot of pitching

334
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 3: out there. And I agree that Michael King is tremendous.

335
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 3: I hope that the Yankees will look at him when

336
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: he becomes a free agent, although you know it's going

337
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: to depend on what the price is. There's gonna be

338
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 3: some other free agents out there, possibly Kyle Tucker. One

339
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: scenario I could see is, let's say John Carlow comes

340
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: back and doesn't really, you know, get into that groove

341
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: that he had last year because of the elbows. I

342
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 3: could see him basically being let go after the season

343
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 3: because I mean, he's approaching the end of his career.

344
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 3: He's got a couple of years left on his contract,

345
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: but you know, he's reached the point where if he's

346
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 3: not gonna hit for power and not carry you, you

347
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: really can't carry him as a player. If that happens,

348
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 3: that frees up the DH spot. You move Judge to DH,

349
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: you sign Kyle Tucker to play right field, that preserves

350
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 3: Judge long term, and it adds another bat to the outfield,

351
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 3: and then gold Schmid's probably gonna leave the Yankees after

352
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: this year. He's on a one year deal. Ben Rice

353
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: moves over to first base. He becomes your first baseman

354
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: next year, hopefully becomes a perennial thirty home run guy.

355
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: But in terms of pitching, I think the Yankor are

356
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: gonna have to do this internally, man. I really think

357
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: that they're They're gonna have to take a look at

358
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 3: guys like Cunningham and Hess and Schlittler and Boyle and

359
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: these guys that are you know, in the minor leagues

360
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: right now for us, and they're gonna have to really

361
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 3: develop these guys. There's just not a lot of external

362
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: pitching available that teams are willing to part with for

363
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: a decent price. And the few times that the Yankees

364
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: have tried to do that, it hasn't worked well. Like

365
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: when they traded for Montos, they traded some of their

366
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: young pitching didn't work out well.

367
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: So it is what it is, Hey, Derek, this is

368
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: a rough from the Hip Hop Advocates, long time listener,

369
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 2: die hard Yankee fan, I just wanted a comment on

370
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: tonight's game. Got steps Lugo as my picked one of

371
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 2: my pitchers on my fantasy team, but I take the

372
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 2: hit for a Yankee Yankee win and meet him. What

373
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: do you think about Ben Rice from Rookie.

374
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: Of the Month?

375
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: How is he doing compared to other other rookies that

376
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: are up in the league this year?

377
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: Appreciate the call. Ben Rice is no longer a rookie.

378
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 3: He passed his qualifications last year. Uh So he is

379
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: not technically a rookie, even though it feels like he is.

380
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 3: He's doing a great job and his Baseball sbount stuff,

381
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 3: we looked at it a ton off the charts. I

382
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: think he's gonna have a good year, but I'm not

383
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 3: really worried about awards at this point. Mostly mostly am

384
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: thinking about how the Yankees can get wins, and to

385
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 3: do it, they're going to need to hit a little

386
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 3: bit better against lefties. They're going to need Domingas to

387
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 3: fix his bat path against lefties, and they're gonna need

388
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 3: better starting pitching. At the end of the day, almost

389
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: every team in the Major leagues, their fate will be

390
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 3: decided by the strength of their starting pitching. Last year,

391
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: you could say the Yankees starting pitching, combined with home

392
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 3: runs from John Carlow, were the reasons they made it

393
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: to the World Series. They had a healthier rotation going

394
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: into the playoffs, and now they're paying the price. They

395
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 3: are beat down. As far as one of caller who

396
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: mentioned he saw some reports that Cole could be back

397
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 3: in September, I wouldn't buy that. I mean, he had

398
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: Tommy John, but he did have the brace procedure. Now

399
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 3: I think that that report I saw the same report

400
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: you did. I think it came out on April first,

401
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 3: so it might have been April fools thing. I haven't

402
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 3: seen it anywhere else. So I wouldn't count on Garrett

403
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: Cole until next year. Although I do think because his

404
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: procedure was the brief procedure, he won't miss as much

405
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 3: of next year as we thought. Maybe he's back in

406
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: April or May, which would be a help next year.

407
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 3: A final call for the day, Hey.

408
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 8: What a Derek eigil from the Bronze. Hey, I really

409
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 8: hope Don Brenn and Cashman are concerned as we are.

410
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 8: As fans right now, because right now it's not looking good.

411
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 8: Pitching is looking terrible. No hint can only get us

412
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 8: so fall.

413
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 5: But if I got to deal.

414
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 8: With more of protons from me in Karasco, man, there's

415
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 8: gonna be a long.

416
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: Season for us.

417
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it all boils down to that, and

418
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: I'm glad we're all on the same page except for

419
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 3: that first guy. So the pitching is gonna be what

420
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: makes the differ diference, and hopefully we get a good

421
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 3: start out of Carrasco tonight. We need somebody to step up, right,

422
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 3: I mean until we get Schmidt back in. And Schmid's

423
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: no guarantee either, you know, because he's coming back from

424
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: an injury. But you know, the pitching has got to

425
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: be better, all right, everybody, Thanks for watching. Check out
