1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: Tip to feel you. Oh wow. Today is Sunday, June

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: twenty third, and it was the rubber game between the

3
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Braves. John Carlos Stanton is on the

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: injured list, Oswald Perrazza was back for the day. JD.

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: Davis is a Yankee and Nestor Cortes was trying to

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: make it two wins in a row, but the Yankees

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: had their work cut out for them with Max Freed.

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is n

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: Why why recaps? Welcome dude away, pull me back. How's

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: it going, everybody? How's it going? Welcome back? Very hot

11
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: day in the Bronx one hundred and five on the

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: real field, but the Yankees' bats were mostly cold again

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: and they dropped their third straight series. Multi hit games

14
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: from Ben Rice and Trent Grisham, solid performance by Nester Cortes,

15
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: but it was not enough. First it was the Red Sox,

16
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: then it was the Orioles, and now the Braves. Day

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: off tomorrow for the Yankees. Hopefully they can get some rest.

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: At least the bullpen mostly got rested today. Tommy Kinley

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: and Clay Holmes had to pitch, but sort of that

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: underbelly of guys didn't have to get up, so they'll

21
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: enjoy having the day off tomorrow as well. But yeah,

22
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: three straight series losses for the Yankees. It is not

23
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: what you want. No surprise. Today, when we found out

24
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: that John Carlos Stanton was placed on the injured list,

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: they said at least ten days, but that's a formality

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: because he's on the ten day IL. I'd be shocked

27
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: if he's back within thirty days, honestly. And it really

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: sucks because you know, Jason Dominguez is hurt. He would

29
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: have probably made his season debut today, but we're probably

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: not going to see him until at least September. And

31
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: now we have to wonder in the back of our minds,

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, is he gonna be one of those guys

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: who's injury prone or can't stay healthy? That question remains

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: to be answered. I mean, it's a perfectly valid question.

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: It's too soon to label it injury prone, noess, but

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: it's definitely a question that now we're going to keep

37
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: an eye on. For the moment the Yankees called up

38
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: Oswald Parazza, they made it clear that it was quote

39
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: for today, which leads you to believe that he could

40
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: be optioned back to Triple A at some point before Tuesday,

41
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: when the newest Yankee, JD. Davis arrives. I'll tell you what, though,

42
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: the Yankees seem to have zero confidence in Oswald Paraza

43
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: for some reason. They must recognize something in the metrics

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: that makes them flinch, because they resisted calling him up

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: for the longest time, and they seem hell bent on

46
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: keeping him from getting extensive playing times in the major leagues. Look,

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: we know the glove is elite, we know the arm

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: is elite, so it's got to be the bat. He

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: was hitting one's seventy nine at Triple A this season.

50
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: He has mashed in the minor leagues before, and he

51
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: missed spring training. But you know, he three hundred during

52
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: his first call up last year. Didn't do quite as well,

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: so you wonder if the Yankees just lack confidence in him.

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: They did go out and get J. D. Davis before

55
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: the game, right before first pitch, we found out that

56
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: they traded for him. They also got cash consideration, so

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: basically some money to pay his salary for Joden Grossen's

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: not a huge move, but obviously they are searching for

59
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: answers offensively, hoping that they can tap into something from J. D. Davis.

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: He's having a bad year. You hope that that's a

61
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: product of playing for a team that has no chance

62
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, the Oakland A's, and maybe coming

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: to the Yankees and being part of a pennant race,

64
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: will you know, sort of inspire him to you know,

65
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: it'll light a fire under him, you know. But he

66
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: was hitting two thirty six with four home runs, so

67
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: it's a low risk, low reward move. I'd imagine he's

68
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: going to get some at bats in the d H spot.

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: He'll maybe get some at bats at third, maybe some

70
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: first if they don't want to play Ben Rice against

71
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: a tough lefty, but lefty, but Ben Rice hit the

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: lefty today, Max Freed pretty well. He's looked good. Ben

73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Rice can swing. It noteworthy that the last ten games

74
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: that JD. Davis started with the Athletics, he've hadded three

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: fifty three. So at least you're acquiring someone who's been

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: on a hot streak recently, which is more than we

77
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: can say for DJ Lemayhew, who is now hitting one

78
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: eighty five and had another very soft contact day. He

79
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: was zero for three. He's got a four to sixty five. Ops.

80
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: It's a good thing that he's a good defender, because

81
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: if not, I think he might have been out of

82
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: a job by now because the offense has been As

83
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: our Irish friends would say, Pierre Scheite, he has two

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: years on his contract remaining at fifteen million dollars each year. Now,

85
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: that might not be a huge obstacle for the Yankees.

86
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: They have paid guys at the end of their contract

87
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: to go away before Aaron Hicks the most recent example,

88
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: Josh Donaldson. But he needs to start hitting soon or

89
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: I think you got to start the DFA watch. I

90
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: really think so. He just has not had hard contact.

91
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: He looks old. He is not passing the eye test whatsoever.

92
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: And for that matter, Labor Torres continues to struggle. He's

93
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: in too eighteen. You know, so Yankees got some offensive

94
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: issues to figure out. Aaron Judge was the primary DH today,

95
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: So we got to look at how the Yankees are

96
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: probably gonna roll with the lineup for the next few weeks.

97
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got Judge at DH, you got Soto

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: in right field, and you can swap those two and

99
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: keep them both fresh. I think they're gonna give more

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: time off to judge because he's been playing center field

101
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: and he's got the toe thing. So you gotta figure,

102
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: after like seventy was it seven eighty games now, I

103
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: don't know how many he's played, probably seventy eight, most

104
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: of them in center field, the toe has got to

105
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: be barking a little bit. It's gotta be, you know,

106
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: it's a chronic thing, so it's got to be hurting

107
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: a little bit. Figure get him, getting him off of

108
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: his feet at least a few days a week could help,

109
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: you know. And give give Soto some rest too, because

110
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: he's not been the same since that arm injury. He

111
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: has not been hitting for the power. And I don't

112
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 1: mean home runs. I mean he's not just driving the

113
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: ball down the line. He's not ripping the ball in

114
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: the gaps. These guys are gonna need to share the

115
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: load a little bit, I think, and and help keep

116
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: each other fresh. All right, let's get to the recap.

117
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going. Nest Cortez

118
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: got off to a really good start today. He struck

119
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: out the side and order in the first inning, another

120
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: dominating inning in the second. He got two quick outs

121
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: in the third and then served up the home run

122
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: to Jared Kellmick. He gave up two more runs in

123
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: the fifth. I thought he was kind of wilting in

124
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: the sun, but to his credit, he worked two more

125
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: scoreless innings. So good job for Nestor Cortes. This is

126
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: not gonna be an in depth recap today because you know,

127
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: it's three to one game and the Yankees didn't do

128
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: much offensively, quite frankly. Bottom six Trent Grisham picked up

129
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: his second hit of the game, and then Volpi roped

130
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: a double into the left field gap, fourteenth double of

131
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the season for Volpi. That cut the Braves lead to

132
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: three to one. Volpi's hitting two seventy one with a

133
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: seven to forty two OPS. As we approach the halfway mark,

134
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: and by the way, on Tuesday, we're gonna release the

135
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Yankees halfway sort of check in as we take a

136
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: look at, you know what we've learned in terms of

137
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: key takeaways in the first half. So the Yankees had

138
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: first and second with one out and Verdugo banged into

139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: a inning ending double play. Just another missed opportunity. Another

140
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: good day for Ben Rece though, multi hit game. He's

141
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: hitting now two ninety four with a six to seventy

142
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: five ohps. I don't think he has a double yet,

143
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: but he's getting hits off a tough lefties. He's hitting

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: the ball to all fields. I like what I see

145
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: from him, and he's playing a good first base. So

146
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: nice job by Nester Cortes to get through seven innings

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: today and spare the bullpen a few outs. Final line,

148
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: seven innings, five hits, three runs, all of them earned,

149
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: no walks, seven strikeouts, and look on the season, he's

150
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: doing quite well. He's had a really nice bounce back yere.

151
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: He's over one hundred innings now one hundred and two

152
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: thirds innings pitched, ninety three strikeouts, eighteen walks. My alignment's

153
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: a little bit messed up there, but at one point

154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: seven whip this season, so he's doing quite a nice job.

155
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: The command has just been elite. Another start with no

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: walks today. His last two starts have been very strong,

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: so good bounce back season for him. Tommy Cainley was

158
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: good in the eighth inning. Matt Olsen had no chance

159
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: against the change up bugs Bunny change up today. Holmes

160
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: was good bottom eight. Soto asked for time but didn't

161
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: get it and had strike three called against him. Another

162
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: BS move from the umpires. I mean he's won, Soto,

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: let the man call time out. Bottom nine Judge smoked

164
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: the first pitch of the inning, but it was right

165
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: at the center fielder. He went one for four and

166
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: the Braves hang on to win three to one. Good

167
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: day there. You ain't first your laugh. Taber Talk says

168
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: Nestor has been solid this year, but his record does

169
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: not show it. Four and six on the year, and

170
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that, you know, most people

171
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: who follow the sport don't really care about win loss

172
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: record for pitchers anymore. We've seen guys win Cy Young

173
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Awards with basically five hundred records. Felix Hernandez comes to mind,

174
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: you know. So it's all about the other stats, the peripherals.

175
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: That's why I don't even put the the win loss

176
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: up there anymore. It's not a big deal to me.

177
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: Ray ards is. I'm so sick of signing it to

178
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: Twitter and seeing the final Yankees less than two runs

179
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: opponent a ton more runs. I wouldn't call three a

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: ton more than one. It's three times as many, I guess,

181
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's just my my my math there,

182
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: that's three times one my quantitative my math specialist Neoi

183
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: says the umpires were petty this series. The umpires have

184
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: been injecting themselves into games for years now. I feel like,

185
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: now that there's social media, I feel like every once

186
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: in a while, these guys just like being in the

187
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: highlight reel, like being part of the action. You know,

188
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: it used to be just call the game, be fair

189
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: to both sides. But it's gotten. It's gotten way too

190
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: uh ego driven. I think in terms of the umpires,

191
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: Jason Thomas says, Nestor has been a fine number five.

192
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I agree, is a you says unrelated, But I like

193
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: Joe Girardi in the booth, I had that thought many

194
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: times today. He is such a good color commentator. He's great,

195
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: He's got great stories. I loved his story today about

196
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: Curtis Granderson. You know, on on the baseball bench, you know,

197
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: guys will shout things out. You know, somebody hits a

198
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: pop up to second and somebody will say, ah, win,

199
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Win's not gonna you know, knock it down or whatever,

200
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: or it ball's not carrying today. They'll they'll shout these

201
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: type of things. And he had a great, great story

202
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: about Curtis Granderson about how if somebody ducked out of

203
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the way of a pitch, he would he would Yeah,

204
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: we got ice, you know, just take one for the

205
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: team anyway. Yeah, I like I like Joe Girardi out there.

206
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: A Lasaris says, Verdugo is hurt. We don't know that

207
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: for sure, but he is two for twenty eighth. He

208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: has not looked great since he ran into the wall

209
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: in center field, so it would not surprise me. Actually

210
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: it was before that, but that could not help, and

211
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: they give him a day off. He's probably a little

212
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: banged up this point of the year. I think everybody's

213
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: a little banged up this point of the year. He's

214
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: somebody who I count on to be there in the postseason.

215
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 1: You know, he's dog needs a summer. He might wear

216
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: out a little bit, but his energy is such that

217
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: when the chips are on the table in the playoff. Yes,

218
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: I want do giet bat. I think he'll be around

219
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: in the postseas, and I'm not worried about a little

220
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: bit of a slump from him. He might be hurting,

221
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: but I think he'll be okay. Ray Rard says, Nestor

222
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: did his job, but this garbage offense wasn't scoring against

223
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Max Freed. Max Fried gonna be a free agent. Be

224
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: interesting to see who he signs with. The Braves are

225
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: obviously going to be very good for years to come.

226
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: They're having a little bit of a down year because

227
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: they lost Ronald Acunya Junior. They lost Spencer Stryder, but

228
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: they're gonna bounce back. I think they'll probably resign him,

229
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: but if not, might be somebody that the Yankees look

230
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: at in the event they lose Juan Soto. They have

231
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: some money to spend when I bolster the rotation. He's

232
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a good pitcher, and lefties in Yankee Stadium always trouble.

233
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: He's got a three ERA this year and what win

234
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: was that? Since we're we care about wins and losses

235
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: now seven and three fifteen starts, so ninety innings, eighty strikeouts.

236
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 1: So he's having a really good year. David Piez His

237
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: highlight of the day was the Freed Rice matchup. Yep,

238
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: Ben Rice has looked really good on both sides of

239
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: the ball. I like how selective he is at the plate.

240
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: He's taken some really close pitches really confidently. He's you know,

241
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: he's got a great eye for the for the bottom

242
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: of the strike zone, especially, he doesn't swing if it's low.

243
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: We've seen him drive the ball to left field. He

244
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: drove one three to ninety eight the other day that

245
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: got caught. We saw him just missed a home run

246
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: down the line in his debut to right field. We've

247
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: seen him hit the ball up the middle, he's hit

248
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 1: the ball to left field, he's pulled it through the

249
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: right side. So he's clearly a guy who will hit

250
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: the ball to all fields, which is what you want.

251
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: So all right, let's take a few more final thoughts

252
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: here from everybody. We'll wrap it up fairly quickly today

253
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: because it has been a tough series and I'm sure

254
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: everybody wants to get on with their Sunday. Obviously, three

255
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: straight series losses is not what you want. We've been

256
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: talking about it all week, the Yankees red flags, and

257
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: they were a parent once again today. DJ Lemayhew washed

258
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: up Labor Torres, hitting two eighteen. Juan Soto's power seems

259
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: to have been zapped since the arm injury. He does

260
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: have the one home run over the Green Monster in

261
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: Fenway but he's not driving the ball like he was

262
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: in that San Francisco series, not even close. Our depth

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: is depleted to the point that we're trading for guys

264
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: who were defaed by the Oakland Athletics, who don't like

265
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: to pay guys to not be a part of their team.

266
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're very cheap. Obviously, there's nothing we can

267
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: do about our injuries. Pereira's out, Domingus is out. You know,

268
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: Spencer Jones is not ready. He's at double A. He

269
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: was not a candidate to get called up. We got

270
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: a super chat here from William Flores says, I think

271
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: Stanton going down might be a positive for the Yankees,

272
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: not that you want to lose him, but the mighty

273
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: help might be more athletic. Hopefully it'll trigger a DJ

274
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: in Torres trade. Rice check vivs phone. I don't know

275
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: the Vivas phone thing. Oh call him up, Call up

276
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: Orbit Vivas. What's Orbit Vivas doing. Let me just double

277
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: check right now. Because he was hurt early in the season.

278
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got a couple of home runs now,

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: sitting two oh six with two home runs and fifteen RBIs.

280
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: He was off to a really slow start. Let's take

281
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: a look at his game logs. So let's go back

282
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: maybe a few four or five days. So one for four,

283
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: two for four, one for four, zero for one, one

284
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: for five. Did he hit a Grand Slam? Now four

285
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: total basis, so that's uh, he must have hit a

286
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: home run. Yeah, hit a home run on the twenty first,

287
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: so two days ago. So maybe. I mean he might

288
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: end up in the major leagues at some point, but

289
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: you want to see him heat up a little bit

290
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: more than two oh six. The on base percentage is nice,

291
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: three sixty three. He's another guy who takes pitches, so

292
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: we'll see how that shakes out. But got a long

293
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: way to go. As I mentioned, we're coming up on

294
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: the halfway point eight. Game eighty one is on Tuesday night,

295
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: so that will be the halfway point of the season.

296
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: It's gone by fast, it really has. Usually by this

297
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: point in the season, I'm dragging. But one thing I've

298
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: done this year to try and save my energy a

299
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: little bit is every once in a while when I'm

300
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: feeling kind of just like uncreative or tired or lazy

301
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: or whatever, I'll bring in somebody out that We've got

302
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Terrence coming in for occasional shows. We had Crats on,

303
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: we had Aiden Baschampson from Fireside Yankees. We get Max

304
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Goodman on now and then it gives me a rest

305
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: to just you know, be able to lean on somebody
