1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: All right, the tip the field.

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: Well, it was the final day of the road trip.

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Yankees trying to avoid a sweep at the hands of

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers and have a five hundred road trip

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: before they head back to the Bronx. My recap and

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next. This his pinstripe territory.

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: Just wanted to pull a catch al.

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. Devin Williams

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: is a thrill a minute. He has more fun than

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: a bag of hammers. But Yankees finally pick up a

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: win after a three game a losing streak. First road

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 2: trip is in the books, and the Yankees head back

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: to the Bronx to face the Giants tomorrow on Friday night.

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I am going to do a voicemail show

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning at ten thirty in the morning. So if

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: you have thoughts on this series, thoughts on Devin Williams,

17
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: thoughts on Max Freed, the bullpen, the upcoming Giant series,

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: call in. Let's have final Let's have a good show.

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 2: Outstanding performance by Max Freed today, big two run home

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: run from Ben Rice. We'll talk about how great Max

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: Freed was eleven strikeouts, no walks. But first I do

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: want to give a shout out to Jack Flaherty, who

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: had a revenge game. I still think the Yankees should

24
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: have picked that guy up last year when they had

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: the chance. They didn't like the medicals how his back looked,

26
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: and apparently that was a problem for him in free

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: agency as well. Dodgers ended up picking up last year,

28
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: and obviously he won a World Series with him, But

29
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: then he sat in free agency for a while begging

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: for a contract, and anybody could have had him. We

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: had him on foul Territory and he was talking about

32
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: how teams just weren't offering money. He's really good friends

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: with Max Freed, who had already signed with the Yankees.

34
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: They went to high school together. He you know, if

35
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: the Yankees made him a decent offer, he probably would

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: have signed. He might even taken a one year deal.

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: Normally I say avoid pitchers who've had injury issues, but

38
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: my concern is mostly with arm injuries. Shoulder injuries. Back

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: injuries can be a problem. We saw that with Carlos

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: Rodin in his first year with the Yankees. But look,

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: he looked pretty damn good to me, so the Yankees

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: scouts missed on that one, and their medical people missed

43
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: on that one. But let's get to the game recap.

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 3: Let's get it go it.

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: Good day for Goldie Knocks, two for five. I don't

46
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: know if anybody has ever called him Goldie knocks before.

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: If I coined it, then awesome. But that's what I'm

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: gonna start calling him from right now, because that guy

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: picks up knocks, he rakes, And we'll talk more about

50
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: him specifically in a few minutes. The story of the

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: game was obviously Max Freed shoving. He was on from

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: the very beginning. His pitch mix was excellent, his curveball

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: was excellent, missing a lot of bats. He had I

54
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 2: believe fifteen whiffs today. Flaherty also was on top of

55
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: his game. He struck out the side in the first

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: inning and I'm thinking, oh, here we go again. Seven

57
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: strikeouts with the first three innings for Flaherty. Up and

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: down day for Dominguez in left field. He made a

59
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: nice play in the fourth inning, ball was hit over

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: his head. He kind of had to turn and back

61
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: pedal a little bit, adjusted and caught it. Last year,

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: that's a triple. And then later there was a ball

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 2: that ricocheted around in the corner and he had a

64
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: lot of trouble playing the karum. He tried to pick

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: the ball up with his glove as he was moving forward,

66
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: couldn't do that, and that gave the runner an extra base.

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: For the kids out there who play the outfield, if

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: the ball is rolling on the warning track or if

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: it has come to rest on the warning track, and

70
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: this applies for pitchers with slow rollers too that are

71
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: in front of the mound. What you want to do

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: when you get to the baseball is you want to

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: grab it with your bare hand and you want to

74
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: push down on it right. This stops its momentum, This

75
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: stops its spin, and it allows you to set your

76
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: grip and get a good grip on the baseball so

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: that you can hit the cutoff man or throw the

78
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: first or whatever you're doing with the baseball. But that's

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: what you gotta do. You gotta get with one hand.

80
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: You can't be picking balls up with your glove because

81
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: if you don't get a firm grip, it pops out.

82
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: It's an extra base. That's what we saw today from Domingez.

83
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 2: But luckily Max Free pitched his way out of the

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: inning blow an opportunity for the Yankees. In the sixth inning,

85
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: Judge walked and then gold Schmid ripped one into the

86
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: left field corner, but Jazz hit one right back at

87
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: the pitcher and Judge got caught in no man's land

88
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 2: between home and third base. It was not a sharp

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: day for Aaron Judge. Mentally, that was kind of like

90
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: he got off too far. You have to let the

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: ball get past the pitcher in that situation. But also

92
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 2: in the ninth inning there was a play where he

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: threw home when if you hit the cutoff man right there,

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: you probably prevent the tying run from getting to second base.

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: So Judge needs to tighten it up. Maybe he was cold,

96
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: you know, he's a California guy. But anyway, Jazz bounced

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: back to the pitcher and then volt Be struck out

98
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: on that scene down and in breaking ball from a

99
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: lefty that we've seen all week. Nice job by the

100
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: en he's scoring the bullpen. Oswaldo Cabrera had a good

101
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: day base hit from the right side, and then Ben

102
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: Rice with an absolute blast, two run shot one hundred

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: and eight point one off the bat. We've been talking

104
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: about how hard he's hitting the baseball four hundred nineteen

105
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: feet that put the Yankees up to nothing. I thought

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 2: they might go to the bullpen there. I thought, you know,

107
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: this call is for Weaver, possibly, But Max Freed stayed

108
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: out there in the seventh and he allowed a double,

109
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 2: but he stayed in the finish the inning. Had to

110
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: strike out the final hitter three times because the umpire

111
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: was awful today, but ultimately he did get out of it. Really,

112
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: really great performance from Max Freed. Nice job from Luke

113
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: Weaver in the eighth, top nine, two hit batters in

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: a row to begin the inning, and then Judge with

115
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: a big knock to make it four nothing, and you

116
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: thought the part he was over at that point. I

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: figured four run lead either, you know, might not even

118
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 2: pitch Devin Williams at that point, but they decided to

119
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: go with Devin Williams, who, to his credit, was early

120
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: on much more aggressive with his fastball. We talked about

121
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: how he tried to throw the change up too much,

122
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: the off speed stuff too much, but he was still nibbling.

123
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 2: Shouldn't take thirty pitches to close out a four nothing game.

124
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: He ended up getting yanked. He allowed three runs and

125
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: our new closer has an era of twelve point zero zero.

126
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: If you knew a baseball, that's pretty bad. But Mark

127
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 2: Leider came in to close it out. He got the

128
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: pop up to avoid catastrophe. And the Yankees have a

129
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: five hundred three and three road trip. Yanks win ball

130
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 2: game over win.

131
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: Ye.

132
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: All right, so before we get to the belt, we

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 2: we got a couple of super chats here. Louis Penafield

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: says is Devin Williams Holmes two point zero Wow, almost

135
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: ruined my meal. You know, he was giving me acid

136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: reflux there. And then the six ten STIGs says Devin

137
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: Williams looking like he needs a third pitch. Too many

138
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: comfortable takes on changeups. We've developed a cutter moves the

139
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: other way. Yeah, maybe he doesn't need another pitch, or

140
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: maybe he just needs to throw more strikes. We've got

141
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: a few comments about Devin Williams. Retro Tony just says

142
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: Williams's do do, and Parks and Young says Williams is

143
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: not cut out for New York City. I guess we'll

144
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: find out, but it has not been great so far.

145
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: But we do have to give away the hardware for today,

146
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: and it is to the guy who dominated on the

147
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: mound for the Yankees, and that is Max Free first

148
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: belt for Mad Max, who was terrific, and we'll talk

149
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: about him more in the Pitcher spotlight in just a second.

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 2: We got a few more comments here, pop collecting one

151
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: oh one says Devin William's rule for every blown save,

152
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: you need to shave your beard. You know, Tommy Kinley

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: used to shave after every time that he would give

154
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: up a run. He would shave not only his beard,

155
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: but his whole body. And I kind of wish today's

156
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: episode was sponsored by the people. We're gonna have sponsoring

157
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 2: all of next week, and we'll talk about that next week.

158
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: But I have to shave my beard. I want to

159
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 2: give you guys a heads up. I'm gonna be shaving

160
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: my beard on Sunday because I've got a film, a

161
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: Razor commercial. So next week Monday, we're gonna have the

162
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 2: baby face. The reason I grew a beard in the

163
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: first place because I felt like my face was kind

164
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 2: of getting a little too puffy. I was gaining a

165
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: lot of weight, so maybe now that I've lost a

166
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: little bit of weight, it won't look so bad. But

167
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: hopefully by this time next week we'll at least have

168
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: the five o'clock shadow back, but we are gonna shave

169
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: on on Sunday. All right, Let's talk about the man

170
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: of the hour, mister Max Freed. He was making his

171
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: third start of the season. Obviously, you see the line, fantastic,

172
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: ninety seven pitches, sixty six strikes. He had fifteen swings

173
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 2: and misses. The velocity dipped a little bit today. You

174
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: expect that in the cold. It's tougher to get loose

175
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: in the cold. It had been over ninety eight miles

176
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: an hour in each of his first two starts. Today

177
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: it was ninety five point nine, and I thought his

178
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 2: hardest pitches were in the seventh inning. His season er

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: now one point five to six, so definitely picking up

180
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: the slack a little bit. After the season, in season

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: ending injury to Garrett Cole, I thought it was important

182
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 2: that the Yankees got to stop today, right. I always

183
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: love a good stopper. David Wells was a stopper. Andy

184
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: Pettitt was a stopper. Two of my favorite pitchers ever,

185
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: Massi here at Tanaka was a stopper. Somebody who picks

186
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: up a win after a loss or after multiple losses

187
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 2: to avoid those lost streaks from compounding, and he was

188
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: just going right after hitters today. He was pounding the

189
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: zone with the fastball. Completed seven innings with less than

190
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 2: one hundred pitches. He was pulling the string on the

191
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: change up. He always has a good curve ball, but

192
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: I thought the curveball today was especially sharp. He was

193
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 2: backdoring it, he was throwing it away from the lefties.

194
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: He was mixing and matching, and he looked supremely confident

195
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: out there today. So outstanding performance by Max Free. All right,

196
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: let's give the honorable mention here, mister Paul Goldschmidt. For

197
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: all the crap I give Brian Cashman and his team

198
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: about not getting more pitching depth for this season, I

199
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: have to give them credit for recognizing that Paul Goldschmid

200
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: had something left. Last winter, when we were talking about

201
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: the Yankees needing to fill the first base hole that

202
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: was vacated by Anthony Rizzo because we knew Rizzo wasn't

203
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: coming back. We talked about Pete Alonso, we talked about

204
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: Nathaniel Lowe. We didn't really talk too much about Paul Goldschmidt.

205
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: I thought he was kind of over the Hill. I

206
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 2: saw he was gonna be thirty seven. I made the

207
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: rookie mistake of not digging deeper into his stats, into

208
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: his splits. I mostly looked at his overall numbers. I

209
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: had remembered he was struggling first half, you know, because

210
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: the Cardinals weren't getting any offense. And I had that

211
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: in my brain, and I was thinking, you know, I

212
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 2: don't think the Yankees are going to sign somebody who's

213
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: thirty seven. But he has really impressed me so far.

214
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: This guy continues to have grat at bats. He hits

215
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: line drives all over the field. If we got ever

216
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 2: put some rallies together, he's gonna drive in a ton

217
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: of runs. He had three hits yesterday, a couple of

218
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: hits today, hitting three eighty three on the season with

219
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: a nine forty two ops. He's got three doubles, and

220
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: so far he's looked good on defense. To me, he

221
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot of range, but he's had to

222
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: make a couple of tough picks in the dirt and

223
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: usually he comes through. So for all the crap that

224
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: I give the front office and Brian Cashman about their mistakes,

225
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: big ups forgetting Paul Goltch. So there you have it.

226
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: Series in the books. Let's get your key takeaways. Basically,

227
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodin obviously he was bad again. Carlos Carrasco was

228
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: even worse. Bats were extremely cold, you know, not just

229
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: for home runs. I mean they stopped hitting home runs,

230
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 2: but they really weren't putting together rallies. They weren't really

231
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 2: getting a lot of hits. In this series. They you know,

232
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 2: made some heart outs, that's about it. And even today

233
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: they had some opportunities to get rallies but just didn't

234
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: come through. Hopefully, coming back to warmer weather than you

235
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: have in Detroit heats up the bats a little bit.

236
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: I still think they're gonna have problems with lefties. They

237
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 2: continue to see a lot of lefties. They're going to

238
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: continue to see a lot of lefties because they're not

239
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: hitting them. I think Ben Rice has held his own

240
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: against lefties, but Jazz Chisholm looks completely lost against them,

241
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: and Dominguez looks lost against them as a right handed hitter.

242
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: And uh again, Max effort today from Max Freed. That'll

243
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: make the flight a little bit easier for those guys,

244
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: and they will take on the giants who I haven't

245
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: looked at what they've done today if they've played today,

246
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: but eight and three record second in the NLS behind

247
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: the Padres two point six to one team ERA, which

248
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: is second in Major League Baseball two point seven to

249
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: two ERA on the road. So they can pitch and

250
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 2: they play good defense. You know, they got Chatman at

251
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: third base. I got some really good defensive players. Twelve

252
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 2: home runs total, though they're not a power hitting team,

253
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: and the Yankee should be able to win at least

254
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: two out of three at home. The Yanks are gonna

255
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: need to start hitting again, though they did not hit

256
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: a lot in this series. Hopefully coming back home, warmer weather,

257
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: more friendly confines will help this team out. A little

258
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: bit quick word from our sponsor today, which is Hungry Root,

Speaker 2: All right, shout out to Hungary Root. All right, So

284
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 2: we got some comments here that I want to mention

285
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: collaborative film work says what's with jazz and all of

286
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: his whiffs? And then we've also got a call on jazz.

287
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 5: What's up?

288
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: Derek? Want to throw this out there, see what what

289
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: you saw. It's pretty much a jazz centric voicemail here.

290
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm in favor of dropping this guy down the lineup.

291
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he has any business being in the

292
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: top half of the lineup. Definitely not protecting Judge, that's

293
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: for sure.

294
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: He's probably he's already leading the American League in shrikeouts.

295
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 3: He has a two hundred batting average, and the guy

296
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: just swings for the fences all this time. He's a

297
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: little yeah.

298
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna stop you there because it goes on

299
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 2: more of the same, But I appreciate the call as

300
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: always jazz Chisholm right now has a one to eighty

301
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 2: batting average. Will pull up his numbers on the year.

302
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: He has really struggled one eighty batting average. He does

303
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: have four home runs out of his nine hits, so

304
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: he showcased some power. But I think that has convinced

305
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: him that he's a power hitter. I don't think that's

306
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: who he is, just like I don't think that's who

307
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: Volpi is. I think that they should focus more on

308
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: being well rounded hitters, and then you're going to run

309
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: into some home runs just by the virtue of being

310
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: a good hitter and being strong. But yeah, Jazz Chislm

311
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: has really really struggled on this. I don't think he

312
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: likes the cold too. He was putting out stories on

313
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 2: his Instagram about how he hates the cold, and you know,

314
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: I don't think baseball should be played in this weather.

315
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: Andrew Calabria says, Luke Weaver is our closer. I don't

316
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: think that they're going to make that move yet. I

317
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: think they like him as being deployed as the you know,

318
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: highest leverage guy that's not in the ninth inning. But

319
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 2: Williams has got to pitch better. Quite frankly, Joseph Johnson says,

320
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 2: I still like Williams over Clay Holmes. Williams hasn't done

321
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: enough for me to count him out yet. What do

322
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: you think. I'm not counting him out. Definitely not counting

323
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: him out, but I'm not counting him in either. I

324
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: need to see more. I need to see a better performance.

325
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 5: Okay, it's watching the game come to the conclusion.

326
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: Everybody's got to shave again.

327
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: Man.

328
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: So that call came in before the Yankee stage there

329
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 2: come back. I think that's a fun that's a fun call.

330
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: You know, you're growing beards. You going to a slump.

331
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: Let's let's make everybody shave once in a while. Just

332
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: to remind of Jersey. Jo says, we've earned the closer

333
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: role last year. He did great last year, and he

334
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: did earn it last year, but last year was last year.

335
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: I think they like him better as a guy who

336
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: can go multiple innings. And I mean, I get it,

337
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 2: you can go multiple innings as a closer. You'd like

338
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 2: to not have to do that. I think they feel

339
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: comfortable to deploying him in the seventh and eighth once

340
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: in a while. Same thing with the wiser guy. They

341
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 2: probably won't do that right away, but he's kind of

342
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: got that same kind of arm or he can get six.

343
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 5: Outs here settle. Yeah, I loved your show the last

344
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 5: couple of years. I'm just looking to get at the

345
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 5: first Indian And it reminded me of the extras the

346
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 5: other day. Yanks a what do you call a bunting problem?

347
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 5: They sailed the bunt people over and play small ball,

348
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 5: especially when they're struggling to score any runs. So let

349
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 5: me know what you think about that. Thank you appreciate

350
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 5: your all. You do. Bye.

351
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 2: Yet they've they've struggled with the fundamental aspects of the

352
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: game for years, including bunting, val and and why says

353
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: Jazz got home run happy.

354
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 5: He can't hit for nothing.

355
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 2: Tough, tough series for Jazz BRT five to twenty, says

356
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: Weaver four games, zero ERA A five and thirty innings,

357
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: one hit, six strikeouts. Williams four games, ERA of twelve,

358
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: three innings, five hits, five strikeouts. Weaver is our closer.

359
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue with your stats. He has pitched better,

360
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: but you're not the closer until you're given that role.

361
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: And we saw how stubborn Aaron Boone can be last

362
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 2: year when we needed Weaver to step in as the closer.

363
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: Uh and he stuck with Clay Holmes and until Clay Holmes,

364
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: I mean turn until Devin Williams. And that's a Freudian

365
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: slipped there. Finally gets to the point where Boone can't

366
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: take it anymore. He's going to keep getting that opportunity now.

367
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: Devin Williams historically has been a very good closer. Conditions

368
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: have not been great new team adjustment period. I believe

369
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: that Diaz had issues when he first went to the

370
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: Mets to like you know, it can be tough going

371
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: to a new place and close now games. But you know,

372
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: hopefully he gets it together. It's been it's been rough

373
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: going so far. But one more time. The Yankees finish

374
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,840
