WEBVTT - TORPEDO BATS, Dodgers/Padres heaters, Walkoff Marlins, D’Backs/Cubs 0:00:04.800 --> 0:00:09.080 Wow, what a first weekend. Can we just run that 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:12.639 weekend back in different forms for the rest of the season. 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.360 It's Braun, It's Kratz, Cam MABN with us today. Good 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:18.960 to see you, Cam and actually Cam. Before we dive 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.760 into everything, I do want to announce this and we'll 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.239 get more details tomorrow. You're gonna be hanging out with 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:28.760 us on Wednesday night. This is our first ever playback 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:31.720 watch party. Yes, Kratz, get jealous, you're not invited to 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.640 this when I know you have an invitation rejection problem. 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.640 But I'm gonna invite you to one very soon. I promise. 0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:40.519 It's on playback. It's at seven o'clock Eastern time. We've 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.040 done watch parties before. This is Yankees Diamondbacks. We'll be 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.320 with you for the entire game. Our Pinstripe Territory leader 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.400 Derek Lewandowski Jesse Friedman, who covers the Diamondbacks. We're going 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.040 to get both sides of the equation, plus Cam, plus 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.120 me playing a little point guard, and we'll guide you 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.120 through the game like an alt cast and you can 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.480 watch the game with us along the way. So won't 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.520 be one of those watch parties where we're like, hey, pause. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.720 Is everybody at the same point. Everybody's going to be 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:09.959 looking at the same thing at the same time. I 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.960 think you need an MLB dot tv account and then 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.000 otherwise you should be good to go. So looking forward 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.479 to that camp and we can actually kind of call 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.520 a game together, but in our style. 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:24.360 Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I was excited 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:26.400 as as soon as I heard about it. I think 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.520 this is going to give a really good perspective from 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:33.160 ex players point of view, guys that cover their favorite 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:34.800 teams point of view, and I think this is going 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.880 to be the first of many to come. So I'm 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.000 super pumped to be doing it. I'm gonna miss my 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.200 boy Cratzy Cratzy, I know he'd be great at this 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.360 as well. But we're gonna knock it out. I can't wait. 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.880 Kratz is gonna get his moment. He's gonna get his 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.760 moment to shine. So we'll get to it. Krats, you 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:54.080 can talk about this little four box of photos that 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.920 helped to describe the weekend before we charge the mound. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:58.560 You want to run us through this. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.200 I mean, poor lighter got hit in the hitten, the thigh. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.360 Let's put it this way. And I wanted to see 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.079 what happened to the the rest of that rap that 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.679 Wilson just chewed off of there, And that was a 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.840 male male patterned tarpness right there, little thinning of tarp 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.120 by the White Sox. And I wish I had this 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.760 bat when I played, because clearly it is. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.760 Duh, dude, are you kidding me? That was it? If 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.480 you just got to the sweet spot every time, you 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.920 would have hit dingers every time, and you were always 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.800 like two inches off the sweet spot. So now we 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.280 have the torpedoes. Let's dive into that right now, let's charge. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.240 Talking about. 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.079 This is what this show is made for. But also, 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:55.000 torpedo bats are getting ordered in masses this week. Suddenly 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.920 every bat company is like, everybody. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:57.880 Come in. 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.280 I know it's the week, and everybody come in. We 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.440 need to make twenty million torpedo bats for every baseball 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:06.880 player on the planet so they can all hitdingers every 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.160 time they step up and make any type of contact. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.200 But Cam, talk us through what you saw this weekend, 0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:16.160 which obviously just caught storm in Major League Baseball. On Saturday, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.800 the Yanks put together a nine homer performance. They scored 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.160 twenty runs against the Brewers. They swept them this weekend, 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.320 so great weekend for them. Judge doesn't use this, but 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.960 as soon as the torpedo bat was revealed and promoted 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:32.000 to a worldwide audience via the Yankees broadcast, everyone went 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.240 nuts in different directions. So what did you think? 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:39.640 Well, first off, what I thought as a baseball fan 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.240 watching the game is, I know there are a ton 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.560 of home runs hit, but I couldn't help. But you know, 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.160 come to the point of, hey, how many of these 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.880 fifteen home runs where the pitches middle middle And I'm 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.720 gonna tell you, out of fifteen of those homers, thirteen 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:56.440 of them were. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.240 Really well executed pitches. 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.440 Ban Rice hit a slide down and end got his 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:04.720 hands in, great great swing. Tip your hat, Anthony BOPI 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.640 got to a pitch up and end inside corner, pulled 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.960 his hands in, got to it. Other than that, I 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.880 saw a lot of eighty nine to ninety three. We're 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.640 talking about in the league where guys are locked in, 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:19.560 are you know, taking extra swings and reps to make 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:20.800 sure they can hit the fastball? 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:23.880 And what they got during that Brewer series, what's. 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.360 A bunch of VP. We're talking about the New York 0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:29.360 Yankees who you know. You look at this lineup and cratzy. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.440 I hope he'll agree. And I said it before. Gold 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.880 Schmidt will be reinvigorated. I think the best version of 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.400 Jazz Chisholm will be in New York. You have guys 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:43.680 like Aaron Judge, Anthony Bopie another year in of experience. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.760 They take advantage of mistakes. So before we get to 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.640 the torpedo bats, let's talk about the Brewers and the 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:53.000 mistakes that they made. I'm questioning that pitching staff right now. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.160 Nothing overpowering other than Freddy Peralta in that rotation. The 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.400 bullpen didn impress me at all. How about giving Yankee's 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.760 credit for taking advantage of a lot of Brewers' mistakes. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.919 Yeah, one hundred percent, and I'll go right to the 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.080 torpedo bat. Believe me, you can look up at my stats. 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.240 I could have used a boat or and I probably 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.159 still wouldn't have gotten Nothing illegal was done. A lot 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.960 of the videos by prominent people, it's satire. Okay, fans, relax, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.479 These bats have been out there for a while. It 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.800 is hard to hit a big league baseball. It is 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:33.240 hard to do it against nester throwing eighty nine cutters 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.920 up and in, but he only had ninety one on 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.520 the speedball, which wasn't getting anybody by anybody, and so 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.039 they didn't have to really speed up or it wasn't 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.960 that much of a difference, and they brought guys in 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:51.159 that most likely aren't in games because they were blowouts. 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.360 So it compounded. Credit to the Yankees. Credit to the 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.159 Yankees for taking care of business against a pitching staff that, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.240 you know what or minus a lot of velocity. Freddy Peralta, 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.440 I think struck out seven or eight the first day, 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.560 gave up a few runs. But you sit there and 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.039 you go, this, this lineup is good. If they're going 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.000 to be great, it's not going to be because of 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.400 torpedo bats. It's going to be because they take their walks, 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.320 they pass it to the next guy, and they minimize 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:22.320 their strikeouts. 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.360 Give the people what they want. Let's bring that Jazz 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.719 tweet up since that's the most recent one that we've gotten, 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:32.599 and I'm sure he's getting all kinds of love from 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.040 anti Yankee people on socials, he said, Okay, explanation, the 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.640 barrel is bigger and within MLB regulation. For the idiots 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.840 that say it's moved to the label you're an idiot. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.159 Nobody's trying to get jammed. You just move the wood 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.159 from the parts you don't use to the parts you do. 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.320 You're welcome. No more stress for y'all, caam. We also 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.640 learned about a number of other players that are using 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.320 bats like this. So even though that mit crazy dude 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.680 who came up with it for the Yanks looks like 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.640 a gy, Ryan Jeffers for the Twins was using it 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.240 this weekend. Junior Camonaro Yondi Diaz, you don't have a 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:06.960 torpedo bat. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:14.040 Nick Nico Horner was using one yesterday's game. Junior Camario 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.560 was using it last year. Like Cracy said, these bats 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.040 have been around. But the point, I just want to 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.360 make a point. When I came up, all my idols 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.960 use this CE two seventy one. The sweet spot on 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.880 the C two seventy one is about from here to here, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:30.160 very small, very little room for era. I realized very 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.160 shortly I wasn't good enough to use that bat. So 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.200 one time I was very fortunate enough to come across 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.520 a guy named Nelly Cruz, one of the better power 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:39.920 hitters that we've seen our game. 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.960 He used this bat. This is a n C twenty three. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.680 Look how much Look how much barrel is on this bat. 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.720 It goes from here to here, So. 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:53.960 I know that you using a torpedo bat. This gave 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.320 me more room for era. 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.040 So guys have been trying to find the right bat 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.800 for years that will allow them to have more roo 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:01.240 for error. 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.280 Like Jazz stated, it's simple. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:03.760 Uh. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.280 They talked about Anthony Voupe. 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:07.680 But he's a guy that naturally hits the ball down 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.720 the label a little bit, okay, so let's move that 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:10.400 sweet spot. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.280 The game continues to adjust. They do it in golf 0:08:13.400 --> 0:08:17.000 with their pitching wedges, with their wedges, with their irons. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.680 Right, trying to minimize their maximized spin, trying to cut 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.000 out slices and fades. This is a part of the game. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.280 It's within the room. Pratsy said, it's all legal. So 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.840 just because it's the Yankees there, there's gonna be a 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.840 bigger fuss about it. But how about you know, guys 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.480 on the mound do a better job of executing and hey, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.440 at the end of the day, the next series coming 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.360 up is a big one, the Arizona Diamondbacks. They get 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.319 to see the Yankees the Big Three to see just 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.000 how much those torpo those torpedo bats really help the 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:46.600 Yankees out. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.080 Still still live, Cratzy. 0:08:56.840 --> 0:09:01.280 Still knocks, still knocks. Wait can I show Trevor McGill's line, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:05.360 because you're getting this via quote right from the New 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.200 York Post. We put it up on our socials as well. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:10.920 He said when he was asked about the Bats, it's 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.360 the Yankees, so they'll let it slide. I didn't get 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.360 to see any video of this, But do you think 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.719 he was kidding or is he actually you know, a 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.920 little ticked because he's playing for a small market team 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.560 thinking that the Yankees get the advantages first, I mean, 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.319 what do you guys take from this one? 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.679 Go ahead? Uh? 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.719 Well, you know what I do know Trevor, and he's 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.319 the type of guy, good dude. I don't think he 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.600 was being serious about this very very much. I think, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:39.439 you know, I think all the guys know, all the 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.240 bats have checked. All the bats go through a process 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.160 to get approved by MLB to make sure they're you know, 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.240 they come come up as regulation. I don't think Trevor 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.000 was too serious. I think he might have just been, 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.240 you know, making fun of the situation. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.640 I don't know. I hope he's not that serious. 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:00.520 Ft fam, I hope you have as much confidence as 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.640 Penelope right now, who is an avid Spot and Tango fan.

But the 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.280 model that I Swung from two thousand and six till 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.920 twenty twenty was an I thirteen. The original I thirteen 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:13.840 was Pete Incavillia. Pete Incavillia went straight from college, hitting 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:17.959 like forty nine dangers, right to the big leagues. So 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:21.319 he said, make me a bat that's exactly like my 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:26.559 Oma Hall Classic one whatever. The bat that he used was. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.360 So the person who made the billets, the person who 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.600 took the billets and spun the wooden bats, just made 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:37.880 an exact digital replica of his metal bat. The barrel 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.800 was like two and three quarters or two and five eights. 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:43.720 I'm not sure what the barrels were at that time 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:48.000 for metal bats, And so the original I thirteen is 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.640 just a monstrous barrel. They have regulations now the I 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:59.720 thirteen is a much skinnier barrel, still long, but much skinnier. So, yes, 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.760 Trevor McGill, you know, if he's being for real. It 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.600 was probably said in the heat of the moment because 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:11.079 he's since retracted it. But I do like some sarcasm, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:12.920 so I choose to believe this was sarcastic. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.240 We've had him on the show. We can try and 0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:18.120 get him back on to talk about this at some 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.920 point soon. The Yankees also started off Saturday with back 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.920 to back to back homers. They were like, yeah, sure, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.840 let's try Goldsmid at the top, then belly. Then obviously 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.200 Judge had a ridiculous weekend and we'll talk more about 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.679 him later on. The offense was clearly humming. Is Vulpi 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.319 the poster child for something like this cam because you know, 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:40.000 when you read some of the stories, they were talking 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.719 about how he was consistently not hitting the ball on 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.000 the sweet spot, right, So they said, hey, let's redistribute 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.000 the weight to make a bat that fits what his 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:54.600 strength is. So is it that simple with someone like him? 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:57.520 Judge obviously was like, yeah, have you seen what I've 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.920 done in the past few years. I'm not switching. 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.400 That was the best quote. 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:07.280 That was the best quote actually, But no, but that's 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.000 your point, that's your point about Evopee. You know, as 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.280 I thought about this, I just thought it was genius, right, 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.439 I thought it was genius When you talk about analytics, 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.719 and this is where people really get caught up on it, 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.719 and this is where analytics becomes important. Right, instead of 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.000 just giving you informations, giving players the right information to 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.240 maximize their chances to have success. So when you talk 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:31.280 about Vopie or somebody understanding, hey man, you get a 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:33.839 lot of balls down the barrow, let's just redistribute that 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.400 weight right there and don't change your thing. Keep doing 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.560 what you're doing because that's just been your tendency. So uh, 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.520 you know, I think it's genius. I think, you know, 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.120 the analytic department should get a lot of credit. And 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.079 and uh the gentleman who is now with the Marlins 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.160 who came who I guess came up with the idea 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.400 for Anthony Vopie. Uh, but I think it's just you know, 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:58.439 playing chestnut checkers, staying ahead of the curve. When you 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.280 talk about all of the information and all of the 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.000 science behind the game. I think that's just a great 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.160 job by the Yankees of hiring people to stay ahead 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:07.640 of the curve. 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.559 There's somebody that you the name is. He didn't have 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.719 a tremendous career, but he was a big leaguer for 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.640 four years. Toughy Goosowitch came to spring training in two 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:23.360 thousand and twelve and he had this brand new bat 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.800 that he went to somebody who was like who measured 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:31.360 his hands measured his swing speed and everything. It was 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:36.320 like an r R one sixty one handle, which is 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.280 super super thick, and a C two seventy one head. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.760 It was like the two things that I hated about 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.560 bats more than anything in the world. Like it was 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.600 like the worst bat ever. And I was like, bro, 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.720 this thing is brutal. First at bat in spring training 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.480 opposite field. Dinger didn't hit a dinger opposite field the 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:59.200 entire season the year before in the minor leagues, and 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:02.400 he went up. You think dudes weren't in there at 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.960 least trying to swing that table leg that he was 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.560 bringing up there as a bat. Like, guys are gonna 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.880 try it. Guys are definitely gonna try it if it 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.960 helps Volpi awesome. Is it gonna make him a thirty 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:13.720 home run guy? 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:15.480 Pump the brakes? 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:19.440 That's the thing. Yeah. People still forgets. 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.920 Yeah, I can they think people yet one and it's 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:27.480 automatically lead to more sweet spot contact for some guys. Yes, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.840 but you guys are mentioning everybody is a different hitter 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.960 and we don't get into the intricacies like this so often. 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:35.640 But that's what we need to do here. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.120 Yeah, And you know what I can't wait till we 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.360 get back on here in a month from now. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.400 When guys are in slumps and they're like, oh, what 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:43.400 happened with a torpedo mat, I'm. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.600 Like, yeah, because you still have to play the game 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.680 at some point. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.280 Pictures we're still in early We're still in late March, 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.920 about to be in early April. Guys are still working 0:15:52.960 --> 0:15:55.800 the kinks out. Pictures are start gonna start executing even more. 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:59.000 You're gonna see, you know, things start even itself out. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.240 I do believe that. So just it's early. The Brewers 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.240 made a lot of mistakes. 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.200 At some point in his game. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.080 You had to tip your cap and go, hey, Yankees, 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.560 way to go taking advantage of the mistakes. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:10.760 Aaron Boom, way. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.560 To go putting ghost from at the top because he's 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:17.480 been a Brewer killer his entire career. Hey managing execution 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.080 and all went into part of it. I don't think 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.320 the torpedo Bats had a lot. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:20.720 To do with it. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.920 Thirty six to fourteen, they outscored the Brewers. So Dave Simms, 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.360 our buddy, was on the call for his first series 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:32.120 as the voice of Yankees Radio, and his colleague who 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:34.400 he sits next to, all year now. Susan Waldman, who 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.320 is hilarious, was like, are you okay? Are you used 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:41.080 to doing this? This is more in one game than 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.280 the Mariners scored in a month last season. Obviously with 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.320 some sarcasm, but not too much. She said, here's the tweet. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.440 This was after the seventh homer, and eventually they scored 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.400 twenty and hit nine, but they were at thirteen runs 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.360 at the moment. She goes, You're not going to know 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:00.160 what to do with this. Your old team didn't or 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.400 thirteen runs in a month. Just a perfect line. That's 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:05.800 why she's incredible, so freaking good. 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:08.760 Yeah, she's the best. 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.760 She's a leasing Mariners catching strays just in the middle 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.399 of a Yankees Brewers game, and it didn't didn't expect 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:15.879 that coming. 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:21.080 Yes, Susan's she's always been up to date with the time. 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:24.880 She continues to impress me. Trolling at its finest. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.600 Let's go, yes, exactly all right. So coming up next, 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.120 we'll probably ask a torpedo question to Scott Coleman, our 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.480 Hammer Territory host one of four, because the Braves could 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.119 use a few torpedoes. We'll talk to him about them 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:40.400 losing four in a row, but You can also get 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.640 much more on this story with our guy Derek Lewandowski, 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.640 who of course was talking torpedo bats all weekend long, 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.119 so check out what he put together this weekend, and 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:52.159 also his voicemail show is up there as well, So 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:55.800 Pinstripe Territory wherever you get your pods or your shows. 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.600 The beginning of the year is for Hope. I watched 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.440 more Marlins Pirates than I would if it was September 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:07.959 and they walk off Magic. I gotta say they were 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.360 entertaining games, But did this say more about the Marlins 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.200 camp or the Pirates, Because the Pirates to me, need 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:16.879 to get off to good starts to put them in 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.440 a good position they usually do. This is not what 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:21.240 you want. This is a team where you at least 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:23.280 have to win a series. And also, David Bannar in 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:24.960 the ninth inning does not look like he's going to 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.040 last long with that stuff. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:31.040 Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely worried about David Bannor. But I'm 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.679 laughing because I too was watching way more Pirates than Marlins. 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.240 And I don't know why because I had all the 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.119 games going, but I kept going back to that series 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:42.360 because I was just curious one. I didn't know anybody 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.480 on the Marlins roster and stuff, for example, in which 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.680 that's it Derek Hill, my ex teammate. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:48.639 I literally knew nobody. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.800 Else, so I was just curious to see, Hey, who 0:18:50.920 --> 0:18:52.840 are these new faces and what do they have? 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:54.320 They have some athletes. 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.840 They are in an athletic bunch, which I do like. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.520 But when I look at the Pirates, I'm just so 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:00.960 dis pointing at what they. 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:01.760 Could have done. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.359 Right when you look at O'Neil Cruz, Paul Skeens, you know, 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:07.560 bringing in fam but cutching. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.200 Rentals, it's like they could have did more. 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.800 So it's just as I watched him, I just couldn't 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.560 help him just be disappointed. I know what the Marlins 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.520 are gonna do when you talk about roster construction, I 0:19:18.640 --> 0:19:21.680 know how they're gonna cut corners, but you watch when 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.520 you talk about what could be the Pittsburgh Pirates in 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.800 that division in the central I just really feel like 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:31.800 they dropped the ball this season. And that's why you 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.280 have guys like Paul Skeens using his voice because he's 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.760 a guy that should because if Pirates fans are watching that, 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.560 they should be worried and they should be, you know, 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.680 really questioning do they want to spend money to go 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:44.840 see what's out there other than when Paul Skeene takes 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:45.160 the bump. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:49.800 Oh man, if only they had added an offensive bat 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:52.560 that could have added one or two runs this series, 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.880 they could have swept the series. They could have put 0:19:55.920 --> 0:19:58.480 the Marlins exactly where they need to be. Paul Skeins 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.680 put them in a spot. What if they shortened the 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.840 game at the end of the game with one extra 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:08.760 bullpen piece, like they went out and got Spencer Horowitz 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.760 whose wrist is still not healed up yet. He's a 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:17.240 good complimentary piece, not the piece. And to me, the 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.959
