1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,560
Speaker 1: All right, that's it the field.

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: It is Monday, April twenty first, and the Yankees were

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: hitting some long balls in Cleveland. But would it be

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: enough to overcome a very tough start by Clark Schmidt.

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstrip

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: Territory him to talk.

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: It's all.

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Yikes. Tough day, guys, tough day for the New York

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: Yankees in Cleveland. We knew Jose Ramirez was going to

10
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: be a problem coming in, and he had a big

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: three run home run in the third inning. And Manzarto,

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: another guy that we previewed yesterday as part of The

13
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Guardian's preview, hit a big home run and the Yankees

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: fell behind six nothing tonight. Now they did scrap back.

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: You have to give this team some credit for at

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 2: least making a game out of it. They brought the

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: tying run to the plate in the ninth inning in

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: the person of Aaron Judge, the most dangerous home run

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: hitter in Major League Baseball, and unfortunately he struck out.

20
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: But all in all, not a great night for the

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Yankees for a number of reasons. First of all, they

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: usually play better than this at Progressive Field, Guardians Ballpark

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: used to be called Jacobs Field. I always want to

24
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: call it Jacobs Field, but they've typically played well since

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: it opened. Derek Jeter had his first game of his

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: rookie campaign there. I'll never forget that. Oh he got

27
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: around on that one. Holy cow, that's gone. That's my

28
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Phil Rizzuto. It's not very good, but if you watch

29
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: the game, it was pretty forgettable. Early on. We say

30
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: every year, multiple times, every team is gonna win about

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: fifty games. Every team is gonna lose roughly fifty games.

32
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: Now occasionally a team will lose forty six games or

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: forty eight games and have an unbelievable season, or a

34
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: team will, you know, only win forty five games, whatever

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: it is. I don't remember how many of the White

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: Sox won last year, but I don't think they won fifty.

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: And this just felt like one of those games that

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: the Yankees were destined to lose. And this is a

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: tough series, a tough ballpark on the road. Clark Schmidt

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: was not sharp. I was hopeful for this because I

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: felt like he really put it together after a tough

42
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: start in his first outing, kind of came out of

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: the gates a little clunky, but then he put it together.

44
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: Tonight just wasn't able to continue that momentum. And you know,

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: one of our hottest hitters in Trent Grisham, was out

46
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: with you know, his opportunity to leave. So started Pablo

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: Reyes in right field. Ben Rice was not in the

48
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: starting line up. He did play later in the game,

49
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: got home runs from Dominguez and from Jazz, but you know,

50
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: ten hits were not As the Yankees fall six to four.

51
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: We did a pregame show tonight. We're gonna do it

52
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: pretty much every day for the rest of the week.

53
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm testing out the format to see if you guys

54
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: like it. Now, it doesn't have as much time to

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: sit on the shelf as like you know, as you

56
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: know what they would call evergreen or whatever, but we

57
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: can go live a couple of hours before the show

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 2: or before the game. I just kind of talk about

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: the lineups, talk about starting, pitching matchups and stuff. So

60
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do that again. So call in as part

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: of the pregame tomorrow. Just something we're experimenting with this

62
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: week and might stick with it depending on how you

63
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: guys like it. But the feedback tonight was pretty good.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: But let's go ahead and get to the recap. All right,

65
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: let's go, let's get it going.

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Now.

67
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: You could tell early on that this was gonna be

68
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: a tough one. The Yankees wasted some base runners in

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: the first inning. They got some guys on but could

70
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: not scratch across a run. You did have a big

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: booming double from Aaron Judge, but he got stranded. My

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: nostra Derek prediction tonight was two hits for Aaron Judge

73
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: and he went one for four with a couple of strikeouts.

74
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: So did not get that one right. This guy Gavin Williams,

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: I mean, if I were a Guardians fan, I would

76
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: be absolutely pumped about Gavin Williams. This guy has incredible stuff.

77
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: He was hitting triple digits. He was dropping an enormous

78
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: twelve to six hook. The Yankees, you could tell, were

79
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: caught in between the two and they just had a

80
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: lot of trouble. They had a lot of trouble. He

81
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: took a shutout into the seventh inning. Now, my internet

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: actually went out in the third inning and I was

83
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: talking to Frankie Baseball. I was like, Frankie, I might

84
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: need to fill in for me tonight. I might need

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: to cancel the show if this gets much worse. I

86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: don't like to cancel the show, even if the Yankees

87
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: get blown out. It has happened once or twice. I

88
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: think they lost by eighteen runs one time, and I

89
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, we're just gonna bag this one.

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: But you know, it was worth it to have the

91
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: show because there were some positives. We had a two

92
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: run home run from Dominguez. We had a two run

93
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: home run from Jazz Chisholm. The Dominguez home run was gargantuan,

94
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: four hundred and forty five feet, a complete no doubter. Now,

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: he went up there looking for that breaking ball. He

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 2: went up there searching for, you know, the big overhand curve,

97
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: and he went down and got it. And my channel says,

98
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: another no stra damnit prediction. You got that one right. Anyway,

99
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: he went up there looking for it, obviously because he

100
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: had been swinging through that curveball, and that's what you

101
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: do with it when you're looking for something, you smash

102
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 2: it twenty five rows deep into the right field seats.

103
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: At least Jazz Chisholm also went deep. He hit the

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: ball hard a couple of times. Tonight, so maybe he's

105
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: coming out of it. We had talked a little bit

106
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: on the pregame. We had a caller who mentioned that,

107
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: you know, we had hoped or he would turn it

108
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: around in the warm weather in Florida. Didn't really happen.

109
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: But tonight to run home run, maybe that gets him going.

110
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: It was a reasonable night. I'm sure it got chillier

111
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: as the night went on, you know, right there on

112
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: the water in Cleveland. It always does. But you know,

113
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: the midges at least weren't out. We had, you know,

114
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 2: some some rough defense. There was a ball that got

115
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: called a hit that Volpi kind of booted that I

116
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: felt was an error. Vopie went one for three tonight.

117
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,119
Speaker 2: We'll talk about him a little bit in a minute.

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: I want you, guys, ahead of time before we get there,

119
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: to leave your Volpee comments in the chat. I want

120
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: you to. I want to try and engage what the

121
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: fan base is really feeling about Anthony Volpi right now

122
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: in year three, because he's been you know, kind of

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: up and down. We got some comments here, like Alex says,

124
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: as Anthony Volpi learned to hit a fastball yet, So

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: there's definitely some mixed results. I do think there's a

126
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: lot of value in a great defensive short stuff, but

127
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: the offense certainly leaves a lot to be desired at

128
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: this point. Ben Rice Pinch hit in the ninth inning

129
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: but grounded out on the first pitch that he saw.

130
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: At least he's healthy, right, At least he's healthy. He's

131
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: a huge part of the offense. He'll probably be back

132
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: in there tomorrow. At least, you have to hope. So

133
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: os Waldo. I got to give a little shout out

134
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: to Oswaldo. Cabrera continues to have impressive at bats. He

135
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: had two hits. He raises average to three to zero two.

136
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: He's got a seven point fifty ops on the season. Now,

137
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: he's not putting up huge numbers. If you look at

138
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: his numbers, he only has one home run in five RBIs,

139
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: but he does have a three seventy three on base percentage.

140
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I feel like he's having really solid at bats, and

141
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: you know, if he keeps it up, he's gonna be

142
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: a valuable player. Now, he's had some difficulty throwing the ball.

143
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: He over threw first base a couple of times down

144
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: there in Tampa. But for the most part, I'd liked

145
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: the way Oswaldo has played this year. Austin Well's got

146
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: called out on another brutal call by the home played

147
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: umpire In the ninth there was another bag against Aaron Judge.

148
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: First pitch by cade Smith was a fastball as ninety nine,

149
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: and it was probably three or four inches off the plate.

150
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the exact metrics, but it was clearly outside.

151
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: So as much as I hate to blame the umps tonight,

152
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: the umps definitely played a factor in a big part

153
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: of the game. So terrible, terrible strike zone. And for

154
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: as bad as this game looked, about halfway through, the

155
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: Yankees were down six nothing, a couple of two run

156
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: home runs, and then before he knew it, Aaron Judge

157
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: was up as the tying run in the ninth inning,

158
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: but unfortunately Whift on a nasty splitter and the Yankees

159
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: dropped to fourteen to nine. Oopa says that the Yankees

160
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: only struck out twelve times tonight. Progress, Baby, Progress. So

161
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: we got a comment here about DJ Lemayhew. He is

162
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: amping up his rehab. You wonder what his role is

163
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: gonna be when he comes back. My guess he's he's

164
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: gonna replace Pablo Reis only he's not gonna play the outfield.

165
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: I think when the Yankees need an outfielder, they'll put

166
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: Oswaldo back out there. Hopefully they'll have Grisham most of

167
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: the time and they'll have a full complement of outfielders.

168
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: But I think he'll replace Reyes as kind of that

169
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: last man on the bench. I don't see him getting

170
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: a lot of opportunities to start at third base. I

171
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 2: mean it's possible that, you know, he takes over for

172
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: Oswald Peroza. The Yankees don't really seem to like oswald

173
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: Paroza for whatever reason. He was the number one prospect

174
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: for a while. He has shown some good signs this year.

175
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 2: He had a home run early in the season, he knows,

176
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: had a couple of big doubles. He's played great defense,

177
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: but the Yankees just don't seem to believe in him

178
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: for whatever reason. Maybe it's things like the swing path

179
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: and the metrics that we really can't see behind the scenes.

180
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: But I don't see Dj Lemayhew really impacting this team

181
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: all that much. I'm gonna pull up his numbers real

182
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: quick and we'll take a look at him, because last

183
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: year his his numbers were brutal year before that, they

184
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: were brutal. Go ahead and pull up the screen share

185
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: here you see that last year, uh he hit two

186
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: oh four with just two home runs and twenty six

187
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: RBIs and a two sixty nine on base percentage. So

188
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: not what he's been in his career. You date back

189
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: to you know, when he was winning the batting title

190
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 2: in the COVID season he went UH to three sixty

191
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: four with the average four to twenty one on base

192
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: percentage and then since then two sixty eight, two sixty one,

193
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 2: two forty three, two oh four, So trending in the

194
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: wrong direction. And this is a guy who hits for

195
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: contact or attempts to, So if he's not hitting for contact,

196
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: he really doesn't have a ton of value on the team.

197
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: It just not much of a spotlight tonight for Clark Schmidt.

198
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: He struggled a little bit with his command out of

199
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: the gate, couple of walks in the first inning. But

200
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, I was hopeful because his last time out

201
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: he struggled in the first inning, and you know then

202
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: he looked better. And so after he got through the

203
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: first inning with no runs scoring, I was thinking, all right,

204
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: let's get it going. Let's put it together. Let's throw

205
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: some strikes, let's get some weak ground balls, get some

206
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 2: swings and misses like you're used to. And he did

207
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: have some swings and missus and I he had thirteen whiffs,

208
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: he had seven strikeouts, but unfortunately in four innings, he

209
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: gave up seven hits. He gave up five runs, all

210
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: of them were earned. He had three walks, and he

211
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: is now sporting a seven point four to five ERA

212
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: on the season. Tough day at the office. It stinked,

213
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: is right, So ninety six point two on the ve low,

214
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: so the arm is there, but unfortunately for Clark Schmidt,

215
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: just a tough day on the home run ball. Okay,

216
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: So I posted that I wanted to get your thoughts

217
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: on Volpie. Now, typically I like to write up my

218
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 2: thoughts and drop down some notes, but I thought maybe

219
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: we could just look at Anthony Volpi's stat cast numbers

220
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: and just kind of talk about him, you know, off

221
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: the cuff here and just kind of see how we're

222
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: all feeling about him. There's been a lot of talk

223
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 2: about Anthony Volpi on social media lately. A lot of

224
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: people are just not convinced that, you know, he's going

225
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: to become the player that the Yankees and their fans

226
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,479
Speaker 2: hoped he would be. Now he has shown some improvement,

227
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: we're going to pull up the stat cast. His base

228
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: running value is still well above average, and now the

229
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: batting run value is above average. We did see a

230
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: base hit up the middle tonight. We saw him rip

231
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: one in the corner on a fastball the other day.

232
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: But you know, we get comments like this from Alex

233
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 2: who says Volpe stinks. Dude can't hit kill so many rallies.

234
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 2: And I don't necessarily disagree about him killing rallies. I

235
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: think he does kill some rallies because I think he

236
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: tries to hit the ball out of the ballpark too much.

237
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: As we go through some of his stat cast numbers,

238
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: see the spray chart too. You know, he hits the

239
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: ball to all fields, which is good, but the chase

240
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: percentage is above average, the barrel percentage is above average.

241
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: Not hitting the ball on the sweet spot is much

242
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 2: this year, which is interesting because he's got that torpedo bat,

243
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 2: and that's kind of like the whole point of that.

244
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: The walk percentage is good, the range is really good.

245
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: Fifth percentage strikeout percentage all tough and expected batting average

246
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: is two oh nine, which is what he hit as

247
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: a rookie. So you really, by this point want to

248
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: see more advancement than what Anthony Volpi has given us.

249
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: So let's close this down and let's take some comments

250
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: here and just talk about vote for a minute. YouTuber

251
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: two says, great defense, but he's trying to only hit

252
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: home runs, just make contact. I do feel like he

253
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 2: tried to make more contact last year and it led

254
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: to softer contact and less power. And I think the

255
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Yankees might have told him, hey, you're better off just

256
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: swinging hard. Maybe you'll run into, you know, a few

257
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 2: more doubles, few more home runs. They got the torpedo

258
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: bat maybe fix some of that stuff. But a mixed

259
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: bag so far for Anthony Vope, who is now twenty

260
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: three years old. Sam Ge says VOPI is so bad,

261
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: always swinging out of his cleats. Now I did see

262
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 2: a comment. Here we go. Stephanie McCalister says, Vope got

263
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: a hit and a walk. He did okay this game

264
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: with the home run. He scored a run one of four,

265
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: so correct there, and that's why I say mix back.

266
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: But I mostly want to talk about him because he

267
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: has been the name all over social media. It seems

268
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: like every year there's somebody who catches the brunt of

269
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees ire when they're not dominating the league. And

270
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: at this point in his career, he has not evolved

271
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: as a hitter as we hoped. The defense has been spectacular,

272
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: but you know, there's so much more to being a shortstop.

273
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: These days, he's ranked near the bottom of the league

274
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: in offense as shortstops, and if he'd rank him overall

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: as a shortstop, he's right around the middle of the pack.

276
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: He's like fifteenth to seventeenth something like that. And the

277
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: reason that is is because the defensive value brings him

278
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: up quite a bit, but it doesn't get him to

279
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: where he would be if his offense where it was

280
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: the first half, if his offense was where it was

281
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: the first half of last year. Now you go back

282
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 2: and look at June of last year, he was getting

283
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: on base at a crazy clip. He was on base

284
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: thirty four days in a row. I want to know

285
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: where that guy went. I want to know where that

286
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: guy went. Let's see here, we got a lot of

287
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: comments here about DJ back to hit ground balls and

288
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: make soft outs. Ouch Raymond Vellen says Volpi should be

289
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: the ninth hitter. I don't disagree. Got some speed there,

290
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: and we got some people agreeing with that. And Hooper says,

291
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: you know, boone will pencil in DJ. He's definitely gonn

292
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: a pencil him in, but I don't think that he's

293
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: gonna have a huge leash. Apparently last year the Yankees

294
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: were ready to DFA him at one point until Judge

295
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: stepped in and nicked that idea. Gregory Wayne says, agree

296
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 2: Volpie in the nine spot and leave him their table

297
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: setter position, and Lauri c wants to move him down

298
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: in the order. My Chance says he's too positive for

299
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: the team and has too good of defense. I'm interested

300
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: with that. Too positive. That doesn't really make a lot

301
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: of sense to me. Frankie Baseball says, I wish Volpi

302
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: was consistent, consistently good, consistently mid, or consistently bad. I

303
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: don't care. Just be consistent. That's what you want out

304
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: of a player, consistency. I do think he's been consistently mid.

305
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: He's been consistently like up and down. That to me,

306
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 2: that's consistently mid. You know, Dale Hoak says, Yankees fans

307
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: expect Jeter and Volpi isn't Jeter. I don't think there's

308
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: ever gonna be another Jeter in our lifetime now, Judge

309
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: is he's a different type of player. He's another first

310
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: bout Hall of Famer, but not you know, not beloved

311
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: by the fans even the way Jeter was because he

312
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: hasn't done it as much in the playoffs. So my

313
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: channel says, votey for al Cantara or al Contra. I

314
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: don't think that the Marlins would make that deal, and

315
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 2: Alex echoes that statement. He says the Marlins would laugh

316
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: in Cashman's face if he offered that deal anyway, Raymon

317
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: Allen says, in a perfect world, imagine us with Ellie

318
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 2: day la Cruz. I think that the Reds are going

319
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: to lock up Da la Cruz at some point. And

320
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: then Frankie says, don't ever expect someone to be Jeter?

321
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: Asking too much one hundred percent agree. Okay, So we're

322
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: gonna get back to true classic tonight. They are a

323
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: sponsored tonight. Then we'll be back to take a few

324
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: more comments, and I think we got two voicemails. I

325
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 2: got to give a shout out to today's sponsor, True Classic.

326
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 2: If you're looking for clothes that don't break the bank

327
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 2: and actually fit, True Classic is the move. I am

328
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: wearing a True Class six shirt right now. Since they

329
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: sent me a package of them, I've been wearing them

330
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: pretty much NonStop because they're so comfortable, They're light, they

331
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: fit well. As you can see, they form to the

332
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: body well. I've lost a bunch of weight lately and

333
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: i just needed some transitional clothing and they came along

334
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: at the perfect time. They have long sleeves, they have

335
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: short sleeves. It's great for taking a walk, for when

336
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: you go to the gym, or when you're just hanging

337
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: around the backyard with your dog.

338
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: So whether you.

339
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: Are layering up and getting ready for winter or trying

Speaker 2: stripe and elevate your wardrobe today. All right. Colin says

344
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: that Volpi had a three point four war last year.

345
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: That's good, You're not wrong, but most of that was

346
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: defense that was compiled early on in the season. You'll

347
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 2: get a second half where it wasn't very good. Yankees

348
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: legends is War needs to go deep into the game tomorrow.

349
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: I won one hundred percent agree, all right, quick voicemail.

350
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: Yoh, what's going on? I had to say. I was

351
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: looking at the Yankees lineup before the game. We're now

352
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: in the sixth inning here, losing five zip happens. Can't

353
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: be that mad. I'd rather lose by five and not

354
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: thinking I'm gonna win, then blow a game in the

355
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: ninth inning. We should win when you're up four. But

356
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: one thing I noticed prior to the game here was

357
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: that six out of the nine Yankees, and specifically four

358
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: out of those six in today's starting lineup, had batting

359
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: averages in the hundreds one fifty, one, seventy nine, so on,

360
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: so forth. One twenty five, I think was one. Four

361
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 1: Yankees in the starting lineup had batting averages in one hundred.

362
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: Another two had batting averages in the low two hundreds.

363
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: That's two thirds of the lineup. Two thirds of the

364
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: lineup are a knemick. That is a problem. I didn't

365
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: realize The New York Yankees' most popular team in baseball

366
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: needs to include diapers in a bib instead of just

367
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: a helmet and a back to go up there every

368
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: uh every at that. This is terrible.

369
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of low averages. I mean to be fair, though.

370
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: We are twenty three games into the season, and averages

371
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,959
Speaker 2: can change quickly. You know, somebody gets three hits, their

372
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: average goes up twenty thirty forty points. At this point.

373
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes Goldsmith's still hitting three seventy two, Judge hitting three

374
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: eighty four, so it's kind of imbalanced. Wells at one

375
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: eighty two, ouch sq ahead and put up the box score,

376
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: and for the people who are listening, I'll run through

377
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: them real quick. Chisholm one sixty one Volpi at two seventeen,

378
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 2: Dimingas at two thirty two, Reyes at one eighty two

379
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 2: grand he hasn't played much, and then Rice at two

380
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 2: eighty eight he had won at bat and Cabrera at

381
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: three to zero two. Cabrera has been one of more

382
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 2: more consistent hitters when you look at it, so obviously

383
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: the averages are not what you want. Not what you want,

384
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: all right, ladies and gentlemen, tough night. I'll be back
