1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: One of the pook It's all. 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: How's it going everybody? Welcome back Monday, June thirtieth. Can 3 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: you guys believe that tomorrow is July? This year is 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 2: going by so fast. Obviously, some very tough news today 5 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 2: if you are a Yankees fan. Just found out not 6 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: too long ago that Fernando Cruz, one of the biggest 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 2: pieces of the Yankees bullpen, a strikeout machine, has been 8 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: placed on the injured list ahead of the critical four 9 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. We've also got 10 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: the Mets coming up at City Field this weekend, and 11 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 2: then the Yankees played the Mariners and the Cubs, both 12 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: at home before the All Star break. I'm sure that 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: the guys love having the games at home before the 14 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: All Star break, right especially if you live in New 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: York City. It's like having a little extra time. And 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: they play the Mets at City Field right before an 17 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: off day, so they have a chance to be in 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 2: New York for really a few weeks. So that might 19 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: be a chance for this team to gain some you know, 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: time sleeping in their own bed and maybe get a 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 2: little bit rested. But it is not going to be 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: easy against some of these teams. We found out also 23 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: that Austin Wells has a circulatory issue in his left 24 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: hand and he is going to be sitting for the 25 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: next two days. They don't know exactly what's causing it. 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 2: They said that the tests have been encouraging so far, 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 2: But what does that really mean? 28 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 3: You know? 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 2: I mean, if you can't pin down the issue, you 30 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: got to have some level of concern. The thing that 31 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: I always go back to when anybody's got any kind 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: of a circulation issue, or any kind of numbing or 33 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: tingling in their fingertips or whatever is David Cohne in 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety six. It was April of ninety six, I believe, 35 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: maybe been in early May, but he had he pitched 36 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 2: in Chicago and he couldn't feel his fingertips. And then 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: afterwards it was revealed that he had an aneurism. It 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: was a life threatening anneurism, but he had the surgery. 39 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 2: He came back and he threw I believe, seven no 40 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: hit innings against the Oakland A's in his return in Oakland. J. C. 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: Scara will get the start behind the dish the next 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: couple of nights. This would be a good test for him. 43 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: He typically works well with Carlos Rodon so, you know, 44 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: looking for good things tonight. I'm a little bit pissed 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: off that the Yankees are facing a right hander again 46 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 2: in Max Scherzer and Jason Dimingez not in the lineup. 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: What are we doing here? What are we doing? Take 48 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: a look at the lineup. We got Trent Grisham leading off. Honestly, 49 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: he has cooled off to the point where I think 50 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: Dominge should be starting every day ahead of him in 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: the outfield. Cody Bellinger three hits yesterday. He is in 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: left field tonight and batting second. Aaron Judge always seems 53 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: to hit really really well at Rogers Center, and maybe 54 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: he's seating up. You know, two home runs yesterday. He's 55 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: up to thirty on the season. I saw that today 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: that he's the first guy ever to have thirty home 57 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: runs and one hundred and ten hits before July. So, 58 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I think he's still gonna make a run 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: at sixty home runs, even though he's slightly behind the pace. Typically, 60 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: towards the end of the season, arms get tired and 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: he goes on one of those streaks like he had 62 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: earlier this year. So I'm gonna say, sixty sixty three 63 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: home runs in that range. Now I've upped what I 64 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 2: thought he was gonna hit anyway. Red hot and exciting, 65 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm in the cleanup spot tonight at third base 66 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: once again. He had a great day on defense yesterday. 67 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: Not just the home. 68 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: Run, not just the triple. He made some great throws. 69 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: He made that great catch on a pop up. When 70 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: he's playing with confidence as he is right now, the 71 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: energy just goes to a different level. We got a 72 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: call about Jazz and his energy that I'll play in 73 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 2: a few minutes. But he has looked phenomenal recently. John 74 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: Carlos Stanton is the DH today. He is due for 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: his first home run anytime now. Would not shock me 76 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: if he went deep tonight. Remember he went deep. I 77 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: think it was off of Max Schuzer right after the 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: COVID break. Remember the Yankees opened up that summer in 79 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 2: I want to say it was July thirty first maybe 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: in Washington, and he hit a four hundred and eighty 81 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: foot home run off of Max Schuzer. That thing had 82 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: a missile on it. I mean it was just just 83 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: a it was just a bomb. But yeah, we'll see 84 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 2: how he does tonight, Ben Rice at first base, which 85 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: means that Paul Goldschmidt is getting the night off. Goldschman, 86 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: I feel like has been wilting a little bit over 87 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: the past couple of weeks, so I have no problem 88 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: giving Ben Rice to start tonight against the righty. I 89 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: just wish we could have found a way to get 90 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: Jason Domingez in there also, as I mentioned jac Ascara 91 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: behind the dish and Dj Lemayhew at second base, batting ninth. 92 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: My opinion on DJ lem Mayhew changes day to day. 93 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: Some days he looks great and some days he looks 94 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: like the mummy who could barely move last year. So 95 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 2: you know, I'm not sure how I feel about DJ, 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: and as we approached the trade deadline, would not show 97 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: if we got another infielder and DJ became a utility 98 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: guy again. Carlos Rodin on the maun looking for win 99 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: number ten. He is nine to five with a two 100 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: point nine to two ERA in seventeen starts, one hundred 101 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: and nineteen strikeouts and one hundred and one and two 102 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 2: thirds innings. As we pull up his stat cast page, 103 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 2: you see a lot of red and as Aiden says, 104 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: Aiden will be joining us tonight to talk about the 105 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: stat cast report. Red is good and he looks great 106 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: in terms of the pitch run value, fastball run value, 107 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: breaking ball run value, expected era, expected batting average, fifth percentage, 108 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: strikeout percentage, you name it. He looks terrific. And what 109 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 2: sticks out is the five pitch mix. You know, not 110 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: only the four seamer this year, but slider thirty percent 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: of the time, change up sixteen percent of the time. 112 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: He's throwing the sinker about nine percent of the time, 113 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: and he's throwing the curveball more so. He has been 114 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: phenomenal and I'm looking for more great things from him 115 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: tonight with j c Escara. All right, let's take a 116 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 2: few voicemails here. This first one is from Myers on 117 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 2: Jazz Chism. 118 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: Hi, Derek, it's Myers. I had a thought about gas Chisholm, 119 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: and it's a really hot take. But I think Yankees 120 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 3: totally won that trade to get him from Miami. Not 121 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: just because you can swing the battly well and field 122 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 3: and run really fast, but I think he brings energy 123 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: to the team that we really needed, because, let's be honest, 124 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 3: the team energy the past, like maybe a few years, 125 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: has just been unbelievably low, or at least that's what 126 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 3: I was thinking. I don't know how you feel about it, 127 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 3: but when Jack came in, there was a wave of energy. 128 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 3: Remember when all the we had our youth in twenty 129 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 3: twenty three, when we had a lot of energy injecting 130 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 3: to our team. Well, I think that's what Jazz is 131 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 3: injecting to our team. That's really helped us win. What 132 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: do you think, Well. 133 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: When you're playing well, the energy always looks great. Right 134 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 2: when you're playing bad, the energy looks bad. It's hard 135 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: to be energetic when you're walking your ass back to 136 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: the dugout or making an error. I love Jazz's energy, 137 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: and I love his new seventy percent approach with the swing. 138 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: I think that's gonna save him some injuries, hopefully. I 139 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: was so worried yesterday after he left the Well, he 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: didn't leave the game. He left his at bat and 141 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 2: he was kind of holding his arm up and he 142 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 2: said it was like a hand thing. I don't know, 143 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 2: but he can't. He stayed in the game and he 144 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: seems fine. 145 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: You know. 146 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: Since the Yankees got him last year, he's basically on 147 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: a forty to forty pace. He's played ninety nine games. Obviously, 148 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 2: the power has been there, but the speed as well. 149 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: I thought he did a fantastic job on defense this weekend, 150 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: and that energizes a team. When somebody's playing great on 151 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: both sides of the ball, it really energizes the team. 152 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: And I know this is just a stupid comparison, but 153 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: I was on a softball team one time that was 154 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: just elite defensively elite, and we weren't even that great 155 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: of a hitting team. We didn't even hit many home 156 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: runs that year, but we made all the way the 157 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: championship because we were just so tight defensively and we 158 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: felt like, you know, we would save outs, you know, 159 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: and when the team is playing tight d it really 160 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: gets the pitchers feeling confident, feeling like they don't have 161 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 2: to nibble, they can go after guys. I like to 162 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: see him, you know, make some more runs with his legs, 163 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: get on base and steal a little bit more across 164 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: some havoc. Same thing that we say about Anthony Volpi, right, 165 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 2: he's been a little bit too focused on home runs. 166 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: But hey, is what it is. 167 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: Quick call from Brian, what's going on? 168 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: Derek? 169 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 4: Then hearing a lot of rumors anyway, different articles I've seen, 170 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: and even some radio hosts we're talking about possibly the 171 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: Yankees looking into Cabrian Hayes. I'm kind of against it, 172 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: to be honest with you. I'm not against a contact hitting, 173 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 4: solid glove third basement, but man, he gets paid a 174 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 4: decent amount of money and he's only hitting in the 175 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: two forties, I believe. I think it's maybe only two 176 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: home runs. I think there's even cheaper options out there 177 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: that they can look at, maybe somebody, hopefully like a 178 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 4: Josh Young, if Texas decides they want to be sellers. 179 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 4: I think he has some similar batting average and at 180 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 4: least eight or home runs, eight or nine home runs, 181 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 4: something like that. 182 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: So Kate Brian Hayes, He's not terrible. 183 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: He's having an okay year. On base percentages is not high. 184 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: It's at two ninety seven, doesn't have much power to 185 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,479 Speaker 2: speak of, basically hitting like ikf only with less contact, 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: just two long balls in two hundred and eighty five 187 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 2: at bats. Does have seventy hits. But what you see 188 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: here on his stat cast page is the fielding ninety 189 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: ninth percentile of range ninety sixth percentile fielding run value. 190 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 2: He's a good base runner too, seventy ninth percentile. Even 191 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: though he's not super fast, he's below average in terms 192 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: of sprint speed. He's in the forty fourth percent of 193 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: So I find that interesting. You look at the spray chart. 194 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: He hits the ball to all fields, right, he hits 195 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: the ball, you know, to right field. They'll drive it 196 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: to left field. He can go down the line. I mean, 197 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: he does have some things to like, but as you said, 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: I don't think he is the strongest candidate. I'm not like, like, 199 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: if they got kay Brian Hayes, I'd be like, all right, 200 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: that's cool, you know, But honestly, if you do that, 201 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: you got to move Chisholm back to second base. That 202 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: improves us defensively in two spots. 203 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: I think. 204 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: So this might be if it's true, if it's a 205 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 2: true rumor, it might be one of those things where 206 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: it's more of a defensive move than an offensive move. 207 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: I remember we all hated Josh Donaldson, right, but you 208 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: have to admit he was fun to watch at third base. 209 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 1: The dude could pick it. 210 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: The hot corner is such a tough, tough position that 211 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: people who can really play it well it's exciting. Got 212 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: another call here about Spencer Jones. 213 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, I'm just curious. Have you changed opinion on 214 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: Spencer Jones since he's been doing so well at Triple A. 215 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't say I've changed my opinion. The one 216 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: thing that we're going to talk about, one of the 217 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 2: things that we're gonna talk about with Aden tonight is 218 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: Spencer Jones. 219 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: I have been skeptical and I have not hit it. 220 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: I have not. 221 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: I'm not a big believer in guys who strike out 222 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: a ton in the minor leagues because I don't think 223 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: that you strike out less as you move up the 224 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: minor leagues. Now, he could be an interesting case because 225 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: we see that he has changed his stance radically radically 226 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: in the last month or so and it's had results. 227 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: So if a guy makes a change and has results, 228 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: I mean you have to be a little bit excited. 229 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull up his stats real quick. Since coming 230 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: to Triple A, he's had thirteen at bats. He has 231 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,599 Speaker 2: got four hits, so he's four for thirteen. That's a 232 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 2: three or eight average, so a small sample size. He 233 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: still has struck out six times. He does have a 234 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: couple of home runs overall this year seventy six strikeouts 235 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 2: in one hundred and eighty eight at bats. Not ideal, 236 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 2: but obviously an athlete, a good center fielder. I feel 237 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: like he's a guy who could be successful in the 238 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: major leagues if he cuts down his strikeouts. But until 239 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: he does it for an extended period, I'm not gonna 240 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: be that. I mean, I'm just gonna I'm just I'm 241 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: just not gonna fall for that fool's gold, right, I mean, 242 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks of a reduced strikeout rate doesn't 243 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: exactly make me super optimistic. Do it for two months, 244 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: three months, yeah, then I'd be excited. But I think 245 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: what could be happening here is that he's getting hot 246 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: right before the trade deadline, and the Yankees are gonna 247 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 2: take advantage of it and possibly move him in some 248 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 2: kind of a deal. I have advocated him getting traded 249 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: to Colorado. I think that it's easier for hitters to 250 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: hit in Colorado. I think he would put up huge numbers. 251 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: He's a fast outfielder. I think he would do a 252 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: nice job patrolling the large grounds at Colorado, and Colorado 253 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: has some guys that we could use. Whether it's make Man, 254 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: whether it's Jake Bird the reliever, I think there's a 255 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: matchup to be made there. I haven't looked at like 256 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: the trade value website. I don't think that those things 257 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: are super accurate. But if I'm Colorado and I'm looking 258 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: for a young guy who's got power potential, who can 259 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: play defense, who is inexpensive and I mean really could 260 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: become a superstar with the right adjustments, I take a chance. 261 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: I take a chance on him. So that's been what 262 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: I've been advocating for. We'll see what happens over the 263 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 2: next month. We're now a month and a day from 264 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: the trade deadline. All right, let's get to your predictions 265 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: and mine. So my prediction today, I think John Carlos 266 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: Stanton is going to hit his first home run of 267 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: the season, and I think two hits from Cody Bellinger tonight. 268 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: I just love the way he's been swinging the bat, 269 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: you know, yesterday not only the home run, but he 270 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 2: hit one off the wall. I think he's doing a 271 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: nice job keeping the hands inside the ball with two strikes, 272 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: he's been shortened up and taking it the other way. 273 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 2: And you know, with Stanton, it's just. 274 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: A matter of time, right. I mean, this is a 275 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: guy who hits home runs. It's what he does, it's 276 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 1: all he does. And he absolutely will not stop ever. 277 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: No this quoting terminator, but I really really think he 278 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: is due. And I believe in DO, just like I 279 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: believe in Hot. 280 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: I believe in DO. 281 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: You can't keep somebody who has this many home runs 282 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: and this much power from going deep for too long. 283 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: And look, the Yankees have hit well at Rogers Center, 284 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: especially since they remodeled it, and I think he's gonna 285 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: have a good night. And remember his first game as 286 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 2: a Yankee was in Rogers Center and he hit a 287 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: couple of home runs. So anyway, LB says, such a 288 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: bad take, You guys want Dominguez who has limited pop 289 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: bad defense. In case a Ton Domingez has already done it. 290 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: Dimingez is two years younger than Spencer Jones and has 291 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: already reached the major leagues. He's already dominated the levels 292 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: that Spencer Jones is at, and he's some real improvement, 293 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 2: and he's got two swings to work on, not just one, 294 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: and a smaller strike zone, and he's got He was 295 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: the youngest guy ever to hit three home runs in 296 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: the game for the Yankees. Come on, you can feel 297 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 2: my takes are bad, but at least have a better 298 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 2: one yourself.

Not 335 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 2: I don't agree with the trade, but I do agree 336 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 2: that it's ridiculous how they treat their prospects. 337 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: One hundred percent one hundred percent. 338 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: But Yolo says, if they decide not to move Jazz 339 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 2: Chism from third. I would try and get Nick Gonzalez. 340 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 2: Let's gohead and pick up Nick Gonzalez. On stat casts 341 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: here on baseball Savant off to a good start ninety 342 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: at bats, hitting three hundred with a three forty seven 343 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: on base percentage. You see the stat cast numbers really good, 344 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 2: really good. I mean the overall batting run value and 345 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 2: base running value fielding run value not qualified yet because 346 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: he hasn't played that much. But you look at some 347 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: of the other numbers under the hood, the expected batting average, 348 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: the ex wOBA, the launch angle sweet spot which we're 349 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,479 Speaker 2: seeing is important. The strikeout percentage all pretty good, and 350 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: then the fielding the range is really good. As a 351 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: second baseman, I would feel comfortable with him replacing Dj Lemayhew. Look, 352 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: I think Dj LeMay he's a good guy. I think 353 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: he's a nice little player, but at this point in 354 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 2: his career, he's more of a role player, more of 355 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 2: a bench guy. 356 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: At this point. 357 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: If I'm looking to trade somebody off this roster, I 358 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: think I would probably move one of the outfielders either, 359 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: you know, Trent Grisham, well, probably only Trent Grisham, honestly, 360 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: because I want Dimingez in there. I wouldn't trade Dimingez. 361 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 2: I would put Dimingaz in left field every day. Let 362 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: Bellinger play center every day, let Judge play right, and 363 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: then as a fourth outfielder. I mean even if you 364 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: call up somebody, right, I mean, you could even let 365 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: Ben Rice take some reps in the outfield. I mean, 366 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 2: he's an athlete, can't be that bad. So you know, 367 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 2: we'll see how it shakes out.
