1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody, Welcome back? Welcome back. Should be

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: a fun game tonight, or it could be a miserable

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: game tonight. I suppose the Yankees facing a very good

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: pitcher and Trey Savage, but the Yankees are running out

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 1: a very good pitcher in Cam Schlitzler. This is going

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: to be a premier pitching matchup two of the best

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: young pitchers in the game. So if you like good pitching,

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: this is a night for you. And I feel like

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: the torch has.

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: Been passed us.

11
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: Cam Schlitzler is the new ace of this team, and

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: with Garrett Cole coming back on Friday, I don't think

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: that's going to change. I think that Garrett Cole, while

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: he is a great pitcher, and I expect him to

15
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 1: return nearly at one hundred percent, maybe not completely there,

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: but he'll get there. I still think Cam Schlitzler is

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: now the best pitcher on this staff, just in terms

18
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: of sheer dominance. However, Garrett Cole is probably still the

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: smartest pitcher on the staff. He helped Cam Schuitler last

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: year by talking him into throwing his cutter up in

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: the zone, and since then that's helped transform him into

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: a even better pitcher. So I'm really looking forward to

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: having these two guys back to back in the rotation,

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: or one and three in the rotation, whatever it is.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: Max Freed will be back soon, so it might be

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: good to split up the two hard throwing righties with

27
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: a hard throwing lefty, and then you back up Rodin

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: at number four in the rotation with either Weathers or

29
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: Warren at number five, and you're gonna have a damn

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: good staff going into the second half of the season.

31
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Here we're we still have thirty games left in the

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: first half, but this rotation, if it stays healthy once

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Freed comes back and you get you know, continued progression

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: from Carlos Rodin and Garrett Cole gives you even close

35
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: to what he usually is. Plus the emergence of Camp Schultler.

36
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's been a better Yankee rotation

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, and I'm really I'm really psyched about it. Now.

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: That doesn't necessarily fix the offense. The offense continues to

39
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: be a bit up and down, and it doesn't necessarily

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: fix the bullpen. We got a couple of calls about

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: that later that I'll get into, but First, I want

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: to talk about Ben Rice versus Aaron Judge. Now, these

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: guys are now tied with sixteen home runs apiece this year.

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: Judge is hitting two sixty one. Rice is hitting two

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: ninety seven. Rice leads the team in RBIs and in

46
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: ops and an on base percentage. So I wanted to

47
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: share a call from Stephen from Maine with a proposed idea.

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek's calling from Maine.

49
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: It's a judge.

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: No, I'm not gonna complain about him. I got an.

51
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: Idea, he's not.

52
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: He's really in at he gets in these three or

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: four times a year. How about we've put Ben Rice

54
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: behind him for a couple of games and see if

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: he can get some meatballs. Right now, they fear Rice

56
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: more than Judge. I think they should give that a shot,

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 2: just to get him out of his bunk. That is all.

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call Steve from Maine, and the passing of

59
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the torch might not be only in the pitching staff,

60
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: from Garrett Cale to Camp Schuller. We might be beginning

61
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: to see a passing of the torch from Aaron Judge

62
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: to Ben Rice in terms of the most feared hitter

63
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: on the team now I still't think that Judge, once

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: he gets going, is going to be the best hitter

65
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: on this team when it's all said and done. He

66
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: still hasn't gotten red hot yet, but once he does,

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he can hit five six home runs in

68
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: a week. That's the kind of guy he is. But

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: I do think it's worth noting that Stephen for Maine

70
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: is right right now, ben Rice has been the better

71
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: hitter on this team. He leads in more categories. He's

72
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: swinging the bat better right now, and I do think

73
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: it makes some sense to maybe put Judge back in

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: that number two spot with ben Rice hitting behind him.

75
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: Maybe even again maybe against lefties, right maybe you go

76
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: with a righty at the top of the order and

77
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: then Judge behind him, and then you have Ben Rice.

78
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: I don't know. Ben Rice has been hitting lefties pretty well,

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: so he could protect Judge there, and you got you know,

80
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Bellinger hits lefties well, so maybe it hit him in

81
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: the leadoff spot. Then you got lefty right he left

82
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: he I don't know. There's a lot of different ways

83
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: you can go, but I do I do think it's

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: worth noting. The other thing I wanted to talk about

85
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: this morning on this quick pinstripe coffee break is Jason

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: Domingez and Spencer Jones. Now, Spencer Jones still does not

87
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: have as many at bats as Jason had this year.

88
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: But we saw Jason for a full year last year.

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: We kind of know who he is, and we saw

90
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: some signs he was getting better. He was hitting the

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: ball hard, and he made a couple of nice plays

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: on def during his short tenure this year. But he'll

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: be back at some point, and I think when he

94
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: comes back, you send Spencer Jones back down and Jason

95
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: takes over. Just from what we've seen, Spencer Jones strikes

96
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: out way too much. Eleven strikeouts in twenty bats. That's

97
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: over fifty percent. And while he swings very, very very

98
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: hard and his swing is certainly not lacking in bat speed,

99
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't make enough contact. There's a few things that

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: he's got to fix.

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: One.

102
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he needs to swing as hard as

103
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: see swinging. I think he could take off a little

104
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: bit and still make contact. That is worth talking about.

105
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: I think he would still hit the ball pretty hard,

106
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: and I still think he would run into some home

107
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: runs just based on his sheer size. But his swing

108
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: is too violent and too overmatched right now by major

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: league pitching, especially good velocity. He can't you can't control

110
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: yourself when you're swinging that hard. He swings so hard

111
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: that his helmet flies off his head. Let's get the

112
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: guy at tider helmet, shall we? Domingez I think has

113
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: much better at bats. He takes pitches more often, he

114
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: works the count. He's much more of a contact oriented hitter.

115
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: You see in ten more bats he struck out almost

116
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: three times less, and he's got twice as many hits.

117
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: I think that Dominguez showed some real progress from the

118
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: right side. So as the season begins to unfold, I

119
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see Jason Dominguez emerge as the guy

120
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: who gets more reps in the outfield and more reps

121
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: at the plate, especially if Trent Grisham continues to struggle

122
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: this year. So just wanted to bring that up my

123
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: Nostra Derek predictions for the day. I'm taking two hits

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: from Cody Bellinger tonight. Now. Bellinger is a good low

125
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: ball hitter, and Treyya Savich is a guy who throws

126
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: that splitter, but he also pairs it up with a

127
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: high fastball. I think and Belinger actually hits the high

128
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: fastball pretty well too, So I think if you go

129
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: with the approach of either attacking the high fastball or

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: going down and getting that splitter, I think that Bellinger

131
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: has the best chance to do some damage against Treya Savage.

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: And I'm taking six plus strikeouts for Cam Schlitler. I

133
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: just think that he's going to be pumped up pitching

134
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: against the Blue Jays, and I'm counting on a big

135
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: night from Cam Schlitler.

136
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: Down.

137
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's take some voicemails. Here's Jason.

138
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, one time belt winner Jason from Allentown. Just

139
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: call him. Say two things. Number One, Man, you know

140
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: I love your show and I'm not trying to yuck

141
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: anyone dum, but you've got so many fun new stat

142
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: sheets that you go through showing exit velocities and all

143
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: sorts of other goodies. And I feel like what you

144
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: neglects man, is I never get to see like the

145
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: stand and you know Yankees head to head records against

146
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: their rivals, and I know that stuff doesn't super matter

147
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 2: in May, but you know, especially if the season goes on,

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: I just like to see that kind of stuff that

149
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: matters way more to me, but I'm just one fan

150
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 2: and I love everything you do. Second thing, Allentown, PA's

151
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: home of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Went to see them

152
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: a couple times last year, saw Spencer Jones on the

153
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: rail Riders knock a couple home runs against them, so

154
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: I won't get to see that this year. Hoping to

155
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: see some George Lombard tomorrow. I'm taking our seniors there

156
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: and I'll be rooting for the rail Riders.

157
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call the man, all right, So we'll go

158
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: through the standings for you right here, and you're right.

159
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: I haven't been showing the standings a lot, mostly because

160
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: the Yanks have fallen out of first place. So you

161
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: could bet your ass I'd be showing it more if

162
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: the Yankees were atop the division. But right now they're

163
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: three games back of the Rays, and if you go

164
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: over to the Central, the Guardians two games up on

165
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: the White Sox have been playing pretty well. They've gotten

166
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: Murakami twins twenty two and twenty seven. They're five and

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: a half games acts by peing five games under five hundred,

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: the Athletics leading out West Rangers a game back Mariners

169
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: twenty three to twenty seven. But the Mariners have really

170
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: good pitching. They are on my pick to have a

171
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: really good second half. I think they're gonna emerge out

172
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: of that division. Astros ten games over, are under five hundred,

173
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: and Angels are horrible. The AO wildcard right now, the

174
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: Yankees are the top wild card ranking team, with the

175
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: White Sox right behind him. In the NL, the Braves

176
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: off to a hot start. They are eight games up.

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: They are having a fantastic start. Phillies under Don Maddingly

178
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: have really turned it around. They're over five hundred now,

179
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: Washington Nationals under five hundred but creeping up. Number three

180
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: in the division, Marlins and Mets trailing Mets twenty one

181
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: and twenty seven. Milwaukee Brewer is now leading the Central.

182
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: We had someone yesterday say, oh, we should just go

183
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: trade for all those guys who played so well against

184
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: us with the Brewers, Brewers aren't gonna make any moves

185
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: if they're in it. They're gonna try and make the playoffs.

186
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: They've got a really good manager. They got a chance

187
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: to do some damage. Cardinals and Cubs right behind them,

188
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: and then NL West the a half game up on

189
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: the Padres. Nationally, wild Card. The Padres are leading the division,

190
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: so I built this website. I built this for the

191
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: Foul Territory Network this winter. You might notice that some

192
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: of the shows use these, so I've been adding different things,

193
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: and in response to your call this morning, I decided

194
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of work so we can

195
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: look at the division snapshots. So we can take a

196
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: look at, you know, what games happened in the division yesterday,

197
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: so the Rays beat the Oris and we can look

198
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: at this in real time during the games at night too,

199
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: So this will be something that we build in Jason,

200
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm always responsive to the fans. If you call in

201
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 1: and you ask for something specific like that, I can

202
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: do my best. I won't always be able to do it,

203
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: but I can I can give it a try. So

204
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: obviously raised one yesterday, Yankees one and the Red Sox one.

205
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: Raise up by three, and take a look at some

206
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: other things we can do. I added the daily roundup,

207
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: which will show the home runs hit that day, so

208
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: you see Ben Rice hit number six teen and James Wood,

209
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: Mike Trout, Michael Harrison, and we can scroll through and

210
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: as you look through these guys, you can click on him.

211
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: So I'm running a Marlins franchise on MLB the Show

212
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: this year, and this guy Xavier Edwards is like I

213
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: just signed him to an extension. He's awesome. He's in

214
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: three nineteen six home runs. Good good start for him.

215
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: Soto went deep, he's got seven now off to a

216
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: good start, and we can look at the longest home

217
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: runs of the day. You know, Raphael Dever's at won

218
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty one feet. He's been swinging the

219
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: bat a little bit better since they started talking trade

220
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: out there. He wants out of San Francisco. And you know,

221
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: if he didn't suck defensively, I would be all over

222
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: this because even as a lefty, he's better than McMahon.

223
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: And McMahon had a three run home run yesterday. We

224
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: had a call about McMahon.

225
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: By the way, is there a just a comment. You

226
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 4: mentioned that you were surprised at McMahon home and off

227
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 4: from cease. But in regards to create numbers, McMahon owns

228
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: the best career numbers of any Yankee against Still and

229
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 4: Sase Goldschman has very good numbers too against case.

230
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,599
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Yeah, so you know I'm full of disclosure.

231
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: I looked at the for twenty four by Ryan McMahon

232
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: more so than his career numbers. I think recent recency

233
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: bias is a thing, right, but I think recent performance

234
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: is much more indicative than you know, long you know,

235
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: career numbers against a pitcher, right, if a guy is

236
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: really struggling, of course, I wasn't gonna pick McMahon yesterday.

237
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: We can also take a look at top pitching performances.

238
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: We've got Bryce Miller, Chase Burns. Jacob Misrowski continues to dominate.

239
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he might be the best pitcher in Major

240
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: League Baseball even, you know, more so than Schlitzler and

241
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: Paul Skeins. When it's all said and done, the guy

242
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: just throws too hard. He throws one hundred and two

243
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: hundred and three miles an hour, and he's six foot seven,

244
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: so he's releasing it right on top of you. One

245
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: point eight nine e r a, eighty eight strikeouts, fifty

246
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: seven innings. We've also added the one hundred and sixty

247
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: two game pace so we can see who's on pace

248
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: for what. So you can see that he's on pace

249
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: for three hundred and ten strikeouts. So I made a

250
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: bunch of additions here today. But anyway, let's take a

251
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: couple more voicemails here. Here's a call about Big Max or.

252
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: This is Big Derek. If Big Max from Pennsylvania. I've

253
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: called a couple of times, but just one point out

254
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: that last year's the deadline. We traded for the Ball

255
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: and we traded for Bedmar. The Ball had lost his

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 3: closer role with Sincetist Giants because he was inconsistent in

257
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: lack command. Bednar, before we traded for him, had been

258
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 3: sent down to the miners for a while and then

259
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 3: was back up at the Pirates. And both of these

260
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: guys have flaws.

261
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: Now.

262
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't want to contest that Bednar has tit Teni

263
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: nuts or anything, but from a candle perspective, I'm not

264
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: sure that he's a closer at any rate. When the

265
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: Phillies wanted to get a closer, what did they do.

266
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: They've traded a real prospect and got a real closer.

267
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: Someone's gonna tell me why the New York Yankees can't

268
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 3: do the same thing, because this hoping and praying that

269
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 3: Matt Blake can turn these guys into something better than

270
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: they than their history shows them to be, is not

271
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: necessarily the way to go in my opinion, I'd like

272
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: to hear yours.

273
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: I mean, another commenter made a great comment that there's

274
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: not really a lot of bona fide closers that are

275
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: available right now. I think the best solution, honestly, might

276
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: be to put Ryan Weathers out there and have him

277
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: close out games. He throws hard enough, he throws strikes,

278
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: He's got a good off speed pitch. That might be

279
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the way the Yankees go. But hey, I'm not against

280
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: trading prospects if it can help your team. I just

281
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: don't want to trade good prospects for guys who are gonna,

282
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, fail with the Yankees. All right, guys, I'll

283
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: catch you after the tonight Schlittler versus Yasavich, Like, subscribe

284
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: all that stuff I will see then
