1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: All right, the JP the field. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 2: It is Monday, April twenty eighth, and the Yankees were 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: in Baltimore to kick off a three game set against 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 2: the last place Baltimore Orioles. The Yankees trying to create 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 2: some more distance between the two. But Will Warren had 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: a tough night. My recap, your reactions coming up next. 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 2: This his pinstripe territory. 8 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 3: He wanted to pull up catch all. Well, sometimes you're 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 3: the dog, sometimes. 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 2: You are the hydrant. Tough night for the Yankees. They 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: drop a close one, four to three. They fell behind 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: four nothing early, late rally a run in the seventh, 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: two in the eighth, but they just didn't get the 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: big hit tonight. Got to commend Batista there in the 15 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: ninth inning. You know he's been he was out last 16 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: year and he completely dominated that inning. Ninety eight by 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: Bellinger to end the game. Look, if discuss this game 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: brings you to a dark place, there was something going 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: around the internet today that captured my attention, So feel 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: free to comment on this instead. One hundred men versus 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: one gorilla, hand to hand combat, no weapons, who wins? 22 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: So let me know when the chat. Personally, I think 23 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: a hundred guys could take out a gorilla. I think 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: they would get to him anyway. Tough night for the Yanks. 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: We joked on the pregame podcast that Sugano, who had 26 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: nine strikeouts coming into this game in twenty eight innings, 27 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: was gonna throw eight shutout innings and strikeout fifteen. Well 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: we weren't far off. He had five shutout innings. He 29 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: had eight strikeouts, so one less than he had all 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: season coming in. Yankees had no answer for his split 31 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: fingered fastball. It was absolutely dirty tonight, and you know 32 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: he was getting ahead with the back door breaking ball. 33 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: That seemed to be the game plan. Throw the curve 34 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: ball on the outside corner and then try and get 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: another strike, whether it was nibbling and picking up a 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: strike or throwing some kind of a cutter sinker getting 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: a foul ball, and then go to the splitter. And 38 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: that was the plan tonight, and the Yankees just had 39 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 2: no chance. But it is what it is, alright, let's go, 40 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: let's get it going. Yankees had a missed opportunity right away, 41 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: bases loaded in the first inning, and birthday boy Anthony 42 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: Volpi bounced out to end the inning and kill the threat. 43 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 2: He did have an RBI doubled tonight, But I mean, 44 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: you gotta come through in a big spot like that 45 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: early in the game, chance to take command of the 46 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 2: baseball game, and they didn't get it done. Warren worked 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: out of a big jam in the first inning, so 48 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: I'll talk more about him in the pitcher spotlight, but 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: you know, he gave up a base hit and then 50 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: a double and then pitched out of second and third. 51 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: Nobody out, and you thought, oh man, he's gonna have 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: a good night, but did not out that way. Phenomenal 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: defensive play from Jazz Chisholm in the second inning hard 54 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: won hopper. He went full extension to dive and reel 55 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: it in throughout the runner. Absolutely no chance Glaber Torres 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: makes that play, but Glabor is sure out hitting Chisholm 57 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: right now. Chisholm went zero for three with three strikeouts, 58 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: now hitting one seventy three on the season. The Ops 59 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 2: now under seven hundred after that hot start, down to 60 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 2: six p ninety two after Jackson Holiday singled, Loreano burned 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: Trent Grisham in center field. That's something you don't see 62 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: very often, you know. I suspect he either lost it 63 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: in the crowd or it was knuckling because Grisham doesn't 64 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: take bad routes, it just doesn't happen. And tonight he 65 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: just didn't get a good read on it. Ball burned 66 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: him and it went for a double. But that just 67 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: goes to show you that even the best defenders mess 68 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: up from time to time. Third inning, back to back 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: walks and then a three run home run by Ryan O'Hearn, 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: and that was the ballgame that made it for nothing. 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: And again with Warren, the home run isn't gonna bother me. 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: He's a rookie. 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes you're gonna give up home runs. I mean, everybody 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: gives up home runs. It's the two walks before the 75 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: home run, right. I don't want to hear about one 76 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: bad pitch. I don't want to hear about that. It 77 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 2: was a series of bad pitches that culminated in a 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: home run. So in the fourth inning, Warren picked off 79 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: Loreano from second base, He took off a third base 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 2: Volpi gunned it to third, but Paraza couldn't hang on. 81 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 3: And that's a. 82 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: Play that just has to be made. Paraza doesn't get 83 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: a lot of playing time. I'm not gonna hold it 84 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: that much against him. He went oh for two tonight, 85 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: also hitting one ninety two. But if you're there for 86 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: your defense, you gotta make all the plays, all of them. 87 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: But again, even the best have problems. So tonight just 88 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: was not the Yankees night. Fourth inning, oh sorry, fifth inning, 89 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: Mowens took away a home run from Paul Goldschmidt right 90 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: at the wall. I mean, maybe another foot and it's 91 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: a home run. But Mullins made a nice catch, I mean, 92 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 2: to his credit. We got a call from Brian about that, 93 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: which I'll play at the end of the show during 94 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: the audience portion about the short walls in Major League Baseball. 95 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: I know Yankees fans aren't gonna dig this, but that 96 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: was a fun play. Yankees rallied in the eighth base 97 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: hit from Goldie Goldie Knox. Excellent piece of hitting from 98 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 2: Anthony Volpi to pick up the RBI double and then 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: well smoked went into the gap. But Dominga has struck 100 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: out on a questionable check swing man. He is not 101 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: good from the right side of the plate. It is 102 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: not getting much better either. And then perfect one, two 103 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: three eighth inning for Devin Williams. So we have that 104 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: going for us. But Unfortunately the Yankees come up short. 105 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: Yankee's legend says, are you dafing Perraza or Reis? When 106 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: DJ gets back? Probably Rayis. I mean, he's not playing 107 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: very much, and even when he's in there, he's not 108 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: doing much. Sam g says that Jazz is killing every rally. 109 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 2: He's having a tough time right now. He needs to 110 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: get it going. Alex says that Peaza still has trade value, 111 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: but I have to disagree a little bit. It is 112 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: dwindling by the day. Every game that goes by in 113 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: the major leagues that he doesn't perform hurts his value. 114 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: Jay Snow says Bellinger needs to wake up. You're one 115 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: hundred percent correct. Bellinger did have a base hit tonight, 116 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: but hitting just one ninety four with a five seventy 117 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: four ops continuing to struggle at the plate. And I 118 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: gotta say he's been the most disappointing part of the 119 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: season for me, other than losing Garrett Cole. 120 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I don't know if you count 121 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: that though. 122 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: But since the season has begun, in terms of performances, 123 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: there's some things that are bright spots. Obviously, Grisham has 124 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: been amazing, Goldie has exceeded my expectations in terms of 125 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 2: hitting for average. He's hitting three sixty one after his 126 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: one for four tonight. Wish he'd hit for a little 127 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: bit more power, but I'm not going to complain about 128 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: an eight to seventy five ops. Dominguez has had some 129 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: good stuff from the left side, but he struggled from 130 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: the right side. His defense has been, you know, solid, 131 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: I think. But the things that have been disappointing are Bellinger, 132 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: who was hot as a pistol in spring training and 133 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: then it just when ice cold. Right after the season started. 134 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: He had that big four hundred and fifty one foot 135 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 2: home run in the second game of the season, and 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: since then he's done practically nothing. And Jazz Chisholm has 137 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: been rather disappointing to me. Again, after that initial burst 138 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: of power in the opening weekend, he has been bad 139 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: and he's striking out way too much and he doesn't 140 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: look good now. He did make a nice defensive play tonight, 141 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: but in terms of his offense, he is killing this 142 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: team and he's killing rallies. We got a super chat 143 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: here from the six to ten. Stig says, getting sick 144 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: of watching Jazz at bats. He has zero to put 145 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: anything in play. It's hard to watch and Domingez needs 146 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: to quit switch hitting. Appreciate the chat. 147 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: Dominguez looks bad from the right side. It's it. We 148 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: can't ignore it. 149 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna quit switch hitting during the 150 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: middle of the year, but you know, I'll give him 151 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 2: the year to figure it out. If he doesn't make 152 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 2: solid improvement, you know, you give him something to work 153 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 2: on in the in the winter, and you check in 154 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: midwinter see how he's doing, and if he hasn't make 155 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: an improvement, then you know, maybe it's time to can it. 156 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: You gotta think he would hit better as a lefty 157 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: versus lefties than he hits as a righty versus lefties. 158 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 2: Talk about Warren just a tough beginning of the game. 159 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: Like I mentioned, you know, the hard line drive single 160 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: than the double, but you know what, he buckled down. 161 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 2: He got the soft pop out to left field and 162 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 2: then a strikeout on a ninety five mile an hour 163 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: heater that you know, I mean, it had some real 164 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 2: pop to it. And then he made Ryan Malcastle look 165 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 2: horrendous and ridiculous with probably the best sweeper that he's 166 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: thrown in his career. 167 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: Here. 168 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: It was a really nice tight walk rope tight rope walk. 169 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: I messed that one up. It was a really nice 170 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 3: tight rope walk. 171 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: But then in the second the wheels came off, you know, 172 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: single in a double and then third inning, two walks 173 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: in a home run. He only threw seventy two pitches, 174 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: forty seven strikes and again three and the third inning 175 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: six hits, four runs, two walks, five strikeouts. His ERA 176 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: is up to five point sixty three, and you really 177 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: have to start wondering if this guy is ready for 178 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: the major leagues. 179 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: It stinks. 180 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: We'll have another call later that I agree with, and 181 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: it's about his consistency here, more specifically, his lack of 182 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: consistency as a. 183 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: Major league pitcher. 184 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: You got to be more or less consistent, and you know, 185 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: he's just two up and down. 186 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: Now. 187 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of pitching prospects to look 188 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: at right now. I think Cam Splittler is probably the 189 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: guy closest to taking over, but we'll take a look 190 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 2: at the minor leaguers we've got. I mean, Schlitzler has 191 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: a one point two to three ERA in double A, 192 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 2: twenty four strikeouts in twenty two innings, zero point eight 193 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: two whip. Now Ben Hess and Bryce Cunningham, these guys 194 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 2: are seen as roughly equal as pitching prospects. I was 195 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: watching this Baseball America segment on them the other day 196 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 2: and they were talking about how like, you know, one 197 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 2: guy had cunning him ahead of Hess, the other you 198 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: know had hesse Head a Cunningham. Hess was ultimately drafted 199 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: ahead of Cunningham. But Cunningham so far is out pitching Hess. 200 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: He's got twenty four innings, thirty strikeouts, two point six 201 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: three ERA and a zero point nine to six whip. 202 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: Hess thirteen and a third innings twenty two strikeouts, so 203 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 2: way more than the strikeout per inning. But he got 204 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: roughed up in his last outing, and that's been kind 205 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: of indicative of what happened in his minor league career. 206 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: He would put together a couple of really good starts, 207 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: or in his start in his college career, put together 208 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: a couple of really good starts and then get roughed up. 209 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: So again he's somebody that needs to find consistency. Elmer 210 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 2: Rodriguez Cruz, now this is a guy we got to 211 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: take a look at. Now he's down there in Higa, 212 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: but he has amazing stuff. I don't do a lot 213 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: of social media, but I'm on Instagram and I spend 214 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: a little bit of time on Instagram each day just 215 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: watching baseball highlights. There's an account called Yankees Farm and 216 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: they post highlights of all the farm guys. And I 217 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: was just watching a clip of Elma Rodriguez Cruz about 218 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: a half an hour ago. 219 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 3: Dude has the stuff. I mean, he is legit. 220 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: So hopefully he's on the fast track, and he's pitching well. 221 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: Eric Reiselman in TRIPLEA in relief eight games, three point 222 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: three eight ERA, ten and two thirds innings, thirteen strikeouts, 223 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: He's somebody to keep an eye on as well. Let's 224 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: take a look at the hitters. So George Lombard Junior 225 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: in Hi A getting it done. Uh three zero six average, 226 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 2: one home run, nine stolen bases so far nine to 227 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: forty six oh ps. So he is adjusting quite well. 228 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: A lot of times you see young guys struggle in 229 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: you know, High A, in Double A, especially guys that 230 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 2: are teenagers. I mean, what did Domingos do at that level? 231 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: Right away? He struggled. 232 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 2: He you know, even Volpi, he struggled right away in 233 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: those levels. George Lombard is excelling, so that tells you 234 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 2: how advanced he is. Spencer Jones, you gotta be worried 235 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: about him hitting two thirty in double A. Now, I 236 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: know he's got seven home runs, but he's got thirty 237 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 2: one strikeouts. He's got a forty one percent strikeout rate 238 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 2: in double A. 239 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 3: That is not good. 240 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: That is just not good. And at some point you 241 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: have to start wondering, is this guy a bust a 242 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: first round bus? Not everybody makes it, you know, And 243 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: I know we were excited, but from the moment he 244 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: was drafted, people were saying left handed Aaron Judge because 245 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: he's so big and so strong, and it's just never 246 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 2: gonna be that. Judge by this point was on the 247 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,599 Speaker 2: fast track to becoming a major leaguer. Now he was 248 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: still striking out a lot. But Jones, what is Jones 249 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 2: twenty four years old? Now, let me just double check, 250 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 2: because I think Aaron I think Judge made his debut. 251 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: At twenty four. Let me just double check. 252 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, on May fourteenth, Spencer Jones will turn twenty 253 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: four years old and Aaron Judge made his debut at 254 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 2: twenty four, so you know he's behind Orb. But Vvas 255 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 2: is somebody that I feel bad for because he tears 256 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: up the minor league. He's sit in three twenty two, 257 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: four point thirty on base percentage, eight seventy eight OPS 258 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 2: and some speed, five stolen bases, but every time he 259 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: gets called up, the Yankees don't play him. I mean, 260 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: how are you gonna find out if the guy can 261 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: hit in the major leagues if you don't give him 262 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: any opportunities And he's on the forty man roster, and 263 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 2: right now you've got a you know, a competition at 264 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: third base. Peraz is not getting it done, really, Waldo's 265 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,800 Speaker 2: getting it done offensively a little bit. Ops is still 266 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: under seven hundred, but he's been throwing balls away. I mean, 267 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: what's the harm in giving Vivas a week? You know, 268 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: is reyis that important to the roster that you can't 269 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: give Vivas a week at third base to see what 270 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 2: he can do? 271 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 3: I don't know. 272 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: I think it's worth looking at. And ever since Prayer 273 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: in a little bit of a slump hitting two fifty 274 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: four to three home runs and eleven RBIs, James Evans 275 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: says he's sick of watching war and just penciling a 276 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 2: loss on those days. All right, Well, okay, so I'm 277 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 2: gonna take a quick pause here and go to a 278 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 2: full screen. I've got his queue up and ad.

They got to 283 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: win two out of three here from a team that 284 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: is currently in last place, and they've got to go 285 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: ahead and sorry, look sick, We're good, hang on, Sorry, 286 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: they've got to go ahead and bounce back after you know, 287 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: a tough night. Now, hopefully this wi late rally that 288 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: that didn't work out, Hopefully that gets them head in 289 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 2: the right direction. 290 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so we got the ad Q up. 291 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that it was working 292 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: in real time because yesterday we had some issues.

It's been 322 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: a rough time. He's been a rough go of it. 323 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: Leo says, what's going on with Berlinger Bellager? He is 324 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: not hitting. I mean you just answered your own question. 325 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: He's not hitting. That's what's going on with him. Now, 326 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 2: why is he not hitting? 327 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: I don't know. 328 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: I mean he's hitting his career. He can hit, and 329 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: he's just I think in a slope. I think he 330 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 2: got red hot incept in and it hasn't carried over. 331 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: He left it in spring training. All right, So we 332 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: got some calls here. 333 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: What's up, Derek, it's Brian. Just wanted to get your 334 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: opinion on this. I didn't think it was too controversial, honestly, 335 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: but why did baseball do away with like the six 336 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: and a half foot to seven foot walls. Who doesn't 337 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: like seeing robbed home runs? I know we didn't. Nobody 338 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: on our team the Yankees here like seeing Goldschmidt get 339 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: robbed of a home run. But that's one of the 340 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: most exciting plays in baseball. What's with all these twelve 341 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: foot plus walls now? Where they just took that play 342 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: completely out of the game. I feel like that's a 343 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: super easy fix to get one of the most exciting 344 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: plays back into the game. I just wanted to hear 345 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, all right, man. 346 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I always like the shorter fences, but I feel 347 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 2: like Yankee Stadium has it about right, you know, because 348 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 2: I don't want it to be too easy to rob 349 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 2: home runs, you know, if you can just stand there 350 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 2: and reach over the fence like you can at some 351 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: of these parks, I feel like that's too low. Like 352 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 2: out there in La it's really short. Actually, I think 353 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: both stadiums are pretty short. Right down the lines. The 354 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 2: fence is really short. Fenway, it's really short. 355 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: To me. 356 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: That's just not as fun to see somebody reach over. 357 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: I want to see someone have to scale the wall. 358 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 2: Like remember the home run that Griffy took away at 359 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. 360 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: What an amazing catch by the kid. 361 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've seen the commercial or the highlight or 362 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: whatever like that is the type of home run rob 363 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: I like to see the one that Mike Trout made 364 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 2: in Baltimore. And Baltimore's you know, probably a good height 365 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 2: because you can you can get up and kind of 366 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: propel yourself over the wall and make the play, So, 367 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: you know, I like how Baltimore does that. I wish 368 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 2: more ballparks had like space between the wall and. 369 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 3: The seats, because the thing I hate is fan inter appearance. 370 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: I don't like to see a guy's glove get messed 371 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: with by fans as they're reaching over. So maybe add 372 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 2: like a foot of distance between the wall and the seats. 373 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit more couple of feet, and yes, 374 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 2: most walls should be at least partially scalable. 375 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: This is WILLI Hey, Willie Warrant is not a good 376 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: picture period. He's who inconsistent. One decent game, one serious 377 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: missed up game, they was ready to pull them out 378 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: and stick it in. 379 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such an important part of being a starting 380 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: pitcher in the major leagues. We've got to be able 381 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: to count on you. Every game is worth millions of 382 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: dollars at this point, you know, and and home field 383 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: advantage and playoff spots say, oh, you know, they come 384 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: down to small margins. You got to be able to 385 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: count on your starting pitching right and tonight we just 386 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: couldn't do that. And because of that we had to 387 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 2: spend Yard bro who you know, ate up a bunch 388 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 2: of innings. He pitched pretty well, but you know what 389 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 2: if he didn't and we would have burned through the 390 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: bullpen in the first game of the series. I do 391 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 2: want to give a shout out to Devin Williams. I'm 392 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: not ready to break out the champagne after tonight, but 393 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 2: he did pitch better than you know he had recently. 394 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: But the game wasn't on line. 395 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 4: Yo, Derek, this is Matt from Denver, Colorado. I wanted 396 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 4: to hear what you think about what seemed to be 397 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 4: and much more decisive and quick to pull the plug 398 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 4: on Devin Williams. Aaron Boone, I've been heavily critical of him, 399 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 4: particularly over the last couple of years. I know you 400 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 4: have at times as well, and I was pretty surprised 401 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 4: and pleasantly so that he's pulled the plug on Williams's 402 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 4: closer at least for now. And even in that original 403 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 4: press conference, it seems to me that whereas he would 404 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 4: normally be getting excuses and talking about bad luck or 405 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 4: talking about it being early or whatever, he seemed like 406 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 4: he just didn't want to show how frustrated he was, 407 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 4: and it seemed like we were going to get the hook. 408 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 2: And yeah, we got the hook. He went quickly this year. 409 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: I think it was pretty evident from Williams. Not only 410 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: the data on you know, hitters, pummeling his fastball, hitting 411 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 2: his change up, but just from the body language. You know, 412 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: you look at him and you see a guy who 413 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: was just uncomfortable out there. So hey, that's life in 414 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: the big leagues. You know, you got to get it done, 415 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: especially with the Yankees. This is not Milwaukee, so tough 416 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: night for the Yankees. We'll be back tomorrow. I'll probably 417 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 2: do a pregame show or a voicemail show of some 418 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 2: kind tomorrow, and then we will wrap it up and 419 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 2: hopefully Game two goes much better for the Yankees. Check 420 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 2: out Andy Uidesigns Dot shop. We've got lots of cool 421 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 2: stuff for you and we will catch you next time.
