Another tight game, another 12 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: big swing from Anthony Rizzo, second day in a row 13 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: that he's had a big, big knock for this baseball team. 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: First ever ejection, I was called it any judgetion? Is 15 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: that a word. 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: For Aaron Judge who, by the way, beginning to show 17 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: some really good signs that he is coming back. Luke 18 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: Weaver incredible out of the bullpen. We got to give 19 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 2: him a hand two or a third scoreless innings, just 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: one base runner, four strikeouts, and Clay Homes once again 21 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: with a lights out performance one in a third innings. 22 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: He has now got eleven saves and a zero e 23 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 2: r A and a zero point nine to two whip 24 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 2: and Luke Weaver whip a zero point seventy three phenomenal, phenomenal. 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 2: So let's go ahead and roll the footage. Bob Builders says, 26 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: he is he still heard attack homes or can we 27 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: change up the nickname? Oh, he's forcing us to change. 28 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: This was early on home run first bat of the 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: game off of Clark Schmidt. Second time in a row 30 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: that's happened. But then he settled in. He was dealing, 31 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 2: getting the strikeout there. He had seven strikeouts on the game. 32 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: Stanton with the RBI single to tie things up. Nice 33 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: piece of hitting, second day in a row that he's 34 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: used the right side and hitting the ball very well. 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: He's got some of those suction cup marks on his arm. 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 2: And then big, big breaking ball there from Clark Schmidt 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: continues to pitch well, gets the soft contact to Rizzo there. 38 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 2: Rizzo's defense tightening up a little bit at first base. 39 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: Although that one was certainly pretty easy. Now the strikeout 40 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: from Clark Schmidt, he struck out the side, and the 41 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: third you see the cutter was nasty. The breaking ball 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: right here, the slider down. 43 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: And in filthy right knuckle curve. 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: Probably there's the cutter and away ninety three Soto base hit. 45 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: Today. 46 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 2: He continues to swing the bat well. He's hitting three 47 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: eighteen ops over nine eighty. Judge had hits in his 48 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: first two at bats. This was an RBI double. He 49 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 2: also got tossed in this one. Hitting two nine on 50 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: the season, but starting to come around. He's been on 51 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: time a lot more in the last couple of days. 52 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Looking good, looking good. 53 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 2: Rizzo biggest swing of the day, fastball up and in 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: ninety five and he tattoos. 55 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: It into the right field upper deck. 56 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: See the replay, gets the hands in barrels it up 57 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: and he knew it was gone the moment it left 58 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: his bat. Sixth home run of the season for him. 59 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: That went off of Casey Mize. Tigers had been undefeated 60 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: and Casey Miz's starts that is over. 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: With four hundred and eleven feet. 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: And then Clark Schmidt kind of had a little bit 63 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: of trouble here on the top of the fourth, gave 64 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 2: up the triple, gave up a sack fly to make 65 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: it five to three. That was all the scoring in 66 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: the game, but the bullpen was phenomenal. Luke Weaver high 67 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: fastball there. Judge gets called out on a pitch. I 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: thought it was a strike, but it was borderline ninety two. 69 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: He has some words for the ump up getting the 70 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: heave ho over. There has some more words, not happy. 71 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Let's hope he comes out tomorrow pissed off and destroys 72 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: the baseball. So nice job for the Yankees to win 73 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 2: their second straight game on the homestand they go for 74 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: the sweep tomorrow, but it's not going to be easy. 75 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: You got Tariq's Scubel, who is phenomenal. They're now nine 76 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 2: games over five hundred. They're twenty two and thirteen, so 77 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: they got a chance tomorrow to get to ten over 78 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: for the first time this season.

We are going 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: to do a voicemail show every weekday morning, all season long. 85 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: Seven one, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten, sixty eight. 86 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: Might do one later tonight because the voicemails are starting 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 2: to pile up and I don't want to get too 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 2: far behind. 89 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: Well, let's go back and take a look at some 90 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: of the finer points here. Let's get it going. 91 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 2: So yeah, second game in a row that Clark Schmidt 92 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: gave up a lead off home run, and second time 93 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: in a row that it was seemingly a wake up 94 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 2: call because he settled right in after that and pitched 95 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: pretty well bottom of the first inning, almost a carbon 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 2: copy of last night. It was deja voul all over again, 97 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: as Yogi would say. Jodge picked up the line drive 98 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 2: single to right field. Beautiful swing. It was ninety six 99 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: miles an hour, and he saw it really well and 100 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: squared it up. Line drive to right field. When he's 101 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: doing that, he's close. He's very close. Verdugo picked up 102 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: an infield single dribbler and almost the same spot that 103 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: he bunted last night, and then John carlost In ripped 104 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: a line drive over the right fielder's head to tie 105 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: the game at one. One for four on the day 106 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: for Big G Baseball's Bizarre Man. Same thing, basically two 107 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: innings in. 108 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: A row for the Yankees. 109 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: Offensively, Schmidt, as I mentioned, settled down. He struck out 110 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: the side in the third inning, six strikeouts, through the 111 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 2: first three innings. He finished with seven bottom three volpie 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: walked soda ripped, a line drive single, and then an 113 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: RBI double from Aaron Judge. He kind of got jammed 114 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: on the pitch but still got it down the line, 115 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: kind of like a almost like a looping line drive, 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,559 Speaker 2: kind of hit it with some top spin. But third 117 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 2: consecutive hit in three at bats for Aaron Judge later 118 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: in the inning. Mister Anthony Rizzo. 119 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: It long home run. He knew it. 120 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 2: I made it five to one, one hundred and eight, sorry, 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: one hundred point eight miles per hour off the bat. 122 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: I always do that, specifically, when it's one hundred point eight. 123 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: I always screw it up four hundred and eleven feet 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: off the second deck and down into the bleachers top four. 125 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: The Tiger scratched across a couple of runs on some 126 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: well placed contact. I didn't think they hit him all 127 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: that hard, and I thought Clark Schmidt threw the ball 128 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 2: pretty well today. He was able to get through five innings, 129 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: which is pretty much his standard. Final line four hits, 130 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: three runs, no walks, seven strikeouts. Obviously the command was there. 131 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: With no walks, I thought he was victimized By, like 132 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: I said, some well placed hits, but at large, he 133 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: pitched well and he's putting together a nice season. Three 134 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: point five zero ERA in seven games started, one point 135 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: three to one whip on the season, so you know, 136 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: rounding into form. Very good for your number four pitcher. 137 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: Forty one strikeouts in thirty six innings pitched, and he 138 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: picks up his third. 139 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: Win of the season, so he is three and one. 140 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: Nice job. 141 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: But the real story in the pitching today, I think 142 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: is the bullpen. The bullpen was phenomenal. Caleb Ferguson not 143 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: so great. He came in, he got one out, he 144 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: had a walk and a hit aloud, but then Luke 145 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: Weaver came in and got him out of the jam. 146 00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Weaver ended up pitching two and a third shutout in 147 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: dominating innings. Very very nice performance. As I mentioned, his 148 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: whip zero point seventy three, so less than a base 149 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: run a per inning. 150 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: It's even lower than Clay Homes. Nice, very nice. 151 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: But he seems to be that guy that's settling into 152 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: that multi inning role as needed, and you back him 153 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 2: up with Clark Schmidt, who usually gives you five pretty 154 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: good innings. Hell, that's a decent combo to run out there. 155 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 2: Bottom seven, Aaron Judge got called out on a borderline strike, 156 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: you know, said something to the umpire as he was 157 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: walking away and got tossed. Look to me and I 158 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: read his lips like you said, Oh my god, that's 159 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: effing bullshit. Saved you a three minute John Boy breakdown. 160 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: But he finished the day two for four, two runs, 161 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 2: scored a double an RBI. So you know, two pretty 162 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: good days in a row for Aaron Judge. Last night 163 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 2: the ninety seven mile an hour sinker, he takes it 164 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 2: up the middle. Today, ninety six mile an hour fastball 165 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: and he takes it to right field. Hit both of 166 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: them hard. So coming around better late than never. Also 167 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: gotta mention Clay Holmes, you know, as well as Luke 168 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: Weaver did. Couldn't have finished this off without Clay Holmes. 169 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: He is just dominating this year. He came in to 170 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: get the final out of the eighth inning, gave up 171 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: a leadoff single in the ninth, but instantly picked up 172 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: the six four to three double play Pitcher's best friend, 173 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: Podcaster's best friend, and the Yankees hang on to win 174 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: five to three. 175 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Fred Antonete Junior says he's been at Home's. 176 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: Dowter, but slowly becoming a believer. 177 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: Robert Ryan says Weaver has been impressive lately. 178 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 2: Got to stay healthy. By the way, Welcome to Robert Ryan, 179 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 2: one of three new members that we added to the 180 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: channel yesterday, So welcome, and we gotta hand out some 181 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 2: hardware here. It was kind of a tough decision on 182 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: the belt today. I mean, we could have gone with 183 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 2: Rizzo second day in a row with a big swing. 184 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: He hit the three run home run, could have gone 185 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: with Clay Holmes picking up the four out save. But 186 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: ultimately I felt like there was one guy who stood 187 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: out above the rest, and that is Luke Weaver. First 188 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 2: belt for Luke Weaver this season. He's got a two 189 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: point eight six ERA and he's throwing harder than I thought. 190 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 2: You know, Gyrus McClure says, I think the you've been 191 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: bullshit piece is what got him tossed. I didn't see that. 192 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: I saw, oh my god, that's effing bullshit. So he 193 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: might have said you've been bullshit. So yeah, if he 194 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 2: did say that. 195 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: Umpires don't like when you make it personal. You suck 196 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: at this, you suck at that. 197 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: They don't like that, and if he did say that, yeah, 198 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: that's probably why he got run. 199 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: I didn't see that. 200 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: Party looked like very clearly said, oh my god, that's 201 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: effing bullshit. 202 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: That's what I saw anyway. But weave dog gets the. 203 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 2: Gets the the belt and Robert Ryan says, Luke, may 204 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: the fourth be with you, Oh, Luke belt on may 205 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: the fourth. Yeah, things, uh, things work out that way. 206 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: That's that's baseball, Susan, that's life. Little what's it called 207 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: serendipity there? All right, take a few of your comments. 208 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: I'm gonna put up the box score real quick, and 209 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: then we'll go through everything that you guys have to say. So, 210 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: Volpi another tough day. He's down to two fifty eight. 211 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: He was zero for three. He did have a walk. 212 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 2: Be interesting to see what happens when DJ comes back. 213 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: If they slide him down in the order. I think 214 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: they will. I think they have to at this point. 215 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 2: Soto one for four, Judge two for four, two ribbys 216 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: or sorry, two runs, one ribby, two strikeouts, Verdugo one 217 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: for four, Stanton one for four, Rizzo two for four 218 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 2: with the three run home run. He's hitting two sixty three. 219 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 2: Travigna one for three. And Cabrera. Oh for three. Got 220 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 2: to think that Cabrera is gonna be out of the 221 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: lineup tomorrow with Tarik Skouble on the mound, tough lefty 222 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: John Birdie activated off the injured list today. He's a 223 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: contact hitting guy. He plays third base, in case you 224 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: missed it. Early this season, got him from the Marlins. 225 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 2: He's thirty four years old, I believe, but he's a 226 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: pretty good contact hitter. I liked what I saw from 227 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 2: him at third base two. So, uh, Cabrera has cooled off, 228 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 2: and I doubt he's gonna be in there to face 229 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: the tough lefty tomorrow. And John Bertie's honestly going to 230 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 2: get a chance to play as he comes back because 231 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: the Yankees neat offense and Cabrera has been sinking down now, 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: hitting two thirty nine with a six fifty six OPS. 233 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: Although the Yankees have won all four games that he 234 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: is homered in. Brian n Wise is forget DJ he's finished. 235 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: I guess we'll find out. I mean, he didn't look 236 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 2: great at the beginning of last season, but he did 237 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: turn it on in the second half. And you know, 238 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 2: the foot obviously has been an issue, not just this year. 239 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: He had the tow issue last year or maybe the 240 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: year before. I don't know. 241 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: He's had so many issues. He's broken down a lot 242 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 2: over the last few years. But really, all you need 243 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: is for him to get in there and play solid 244 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 2: d and pick up singles. You know, we don't need 245 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: him to hit home runs. We need him to make contact, 246 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: hit line drives. Don't need to be a power guy. 247 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: He's not going to be a guy who hits three 248 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: sixty like you did in the COVID season. If you 249 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 2: can just be solid and do your job, I think 250 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: would be all right. ANT one two three says Weaver 251 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 2: doesn't look like your typical pitcher, but boy can he pitch. Yeah, 252 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: he looks good. I noticed his his wind up. It's 253 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: almost like a lack of a wind up. He's got 254 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: that very stiff front leg and very little leg kick, 255 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 2: a little bit like Yamamoto. I know it's kind of 256 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: a weird comparison, but that's that's what I see when 257 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,119 Speaker 2: I look at him. He's obviously taller than Yamamoto. Yamamoto 258 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: has looked phenomenal by the way. You know, he got 259 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: off to that tough start in the Soul Series in Korea, 260 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 2: five runs in his first inning. But he's been really 261 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: good since they've come back. David Caniglio says, DJ makes 262 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: me sad. He was one of my favorite Yankees. Well, 263 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: he's still got a chance to be one of your 264 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 2: favorite Yankees if he comes back and hits. But one 265 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: thing that's gonna happen is he's not gonna have a 266 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 2: huge leash, right I mean, right now, there is an 267 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: open competition for third base. Whoever's hitting and making the 268 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: plays is going to get the opportunities. For a while, 269 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: it was Cabrera. He's got eighteen RBIs, he's done a 270 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: nice job, but he's cooled off. Might be timed for 271 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 2: him to slip back into that utility role, you know, 272 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: as we get into summer more, these guys are gonna 273 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 2: need days off. Yankees have been running pretty much the 274 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: same lineup out there every day, but at some point 275 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: they're gonna want to give some guys, you know, days off, 276 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: and Cabrera could fit nicely in that role, especially against righty's, 277 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: you know, because he's a better left handed hitter, and 278 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: that will leave it up to two contact hitting righty's 279 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: in their mid thirties to duke it out. For the 280 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 2: third base spot. The bulk of the third base at 281 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: bats and that will be John Birdie and DJ Lemayhew. 282 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: So we're gonna see how that shakes out. But my 283 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: money is on Bertie. I think Bertie's gonna be the 284 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: guy who emerges from what I saw from him. His 285 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 2: swing looks really good, solid on defense, good arm, runs 286 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: really well. He's very very fast, something the Yankees don't have, 287 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: so he can make things happen on the basis, just 288 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: like Volpi can. So I'm looking forward and you know, frankly, 289 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: VOLTI can learn from him too. This is a guy 290 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: who stole a lot of basses last year, one of 291 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 2: the fastest guys in the league. Volpi can learn by 292 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: watching how this guy runs. So be interesting to see 293 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: what happens action. VJ says Volpey has the speed. It 294 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: makes him valuable to go first to third. DJ will 295 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 2: bet the same with no speed. But here's the thing 296 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: with Volpi. Since we've moved him up in the top 297 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: of the order, his approach has changed. For some reason. 298 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: He's gotten out of that contact mode and he's swinging harder. 299 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 2: You can tell he's trying to hit the ball out 300 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: of the Ballpark. Early on the season, he was hitting 301 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: everything to right field. He was sitting back and taking 302 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: lines swings, and the loop has come back. So I 303 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: think he needs to go back down to the you know, 304 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: probably the seventh spot. I would say, let him get 305 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: a chance to work things out down there in the 306 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: bottom of the order. He might someday be a leadoff hitter, 307 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: but it's pretty clear that right now his approach is 308 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: not working at the leadoff spot, so I think he 309 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: needs to get a rest there. Rob says Bertie is 310 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: the word could have said Bertie is the wordy gaming kid. 311 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: Joe says he wanted to rise for a while, kind 312 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: of disappointed. 313 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: That's life. 314 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 2: Things are disappointing, especially in sports. You don't always get 315 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 2: who you wanted. I had the biggest hope that the 316 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 2: Yankees would get Bryce Harper, you know, when he was 317 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 2: a free agent. I thought, you know, he'll probably take 318 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: less to go play for the Yankees, and there were 319 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: some rumors that he would play first base. Yankees didn't 320 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 2: want to do that. Now he is playing first base 321 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: with the Phillies, and he's got a couple of big 322 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: home runs in the playoff for them, and he's done 323 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: a really nice job really taking over that city in 324 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: my opinion, but I think won an MVP with the 325 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: Phillies also, so Gyrus says that Volpi's approach has gotten 326 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 2: to swing happy. I don't mind him being aggressive, but 327 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: I just I mind the lift and separate approach, especially from. 328 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: The leadoff spot. 329 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: I want the leadoff guy to focus on getting on base. 330 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: You know, sometimes that means taking your walk, but it 331 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: also means hitting for contact. And there was a good 332 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: point on the show today, on The Game Today that 333 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: you know, Volpey's speed is kind of wasted in front 334 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 2: of Soto because you're not gonna steal with Sodo and 335 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 2: Judge coming up. So maybe you can make things happen 336 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: at the bottom of the order with his speed. 337 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe John Bertie becomes the leadoff man tomorrow. 338 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: That could be something we see. Really, we really could 339 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 1: see that. 340 00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 2: So anyway, Bernie Gannon says he likes that he's right 341 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 2: handed or sorry, Bertie is right handed. He likes that 342 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: Cabret is a switch hitter. Look, Cabret is a switch hitter, 343 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: but he hasn't done much right handed. You know, He's 344 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: gotten a couple of hits right handed, but Bertie's a 345 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 2: better hitter, a better option against left handed pitching, that's 346 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: for sure. So got a classic platoon situation going right now. 347 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 2: So apparently DJ is getting ready and he's going to 348 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 2: be back in the next few weeks, a couple of 349 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: weeks maybe, and we'll go from there. We're going to 350 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: see how the infield shakes out. We got Garrett Cole 351 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: thrown a side session today through fifteen pitches. They showed 352 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: it on the overhand headcamp didn't look like he was 353 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: really cutting it loose, but he was still throwing eighty 354 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: nine miles an hour, so he basically just warming up 355 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: and getting loose. Has a better fastball than I've ever 356 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 2: thrown in my life. But and then you got the Martian. 357 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 2: He is getting close to rehab assignments. You got Tommy 358 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 2: Cainley coming back soon, so reinforcements are coming. 359 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: There's going to be a roster crunch. 360 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 2: Gabriel Rodriguez says, if we give up labor, who's on 361 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 2: the market and who can take over? Right now, I 362 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: don't see anybody who can take over yet. Yorbit Vivas 363 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: is somebody the Yankees got with hopes that he could 364 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 2: eventually be the air apparent. I think at second base. 365 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: He's a left handed hitter, contact guy. He had an 366 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 2: orbital fracture at the end of spring training. Last I 367 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: saw he'd only had seven at bats. I'm gonna see 368 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: if I can find him on MiLB real quick. But 369 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: he's somebody that I think has a lot of potential. 370 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: I like his swing. Let's see here, all right. I 371 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: found him. So he's only had seven at bats and 372 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: it's been like that for a few days, so I'm 373 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: not sure. Maybe he's injured again, but I haven't been 374 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: following him that close. But he was only hitting one 375 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: forty three, one for seven with a single. So but 376 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: last year, you see in the Dodgers system two sixty 377 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: nine with a three eighty one on base percentage. He 378 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 2: had twenty five stolen bases, so he can run. He 379 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 2: had almost as many walks as strikeouts sixty nine walks, 380 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 2: very nice, and seventy one strikeouts. A little bit of 381 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 2: power thirteen home runs. That's actually not bad for the 382 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 2: minor leagues. 383 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,199 Speaker 1: You know. 384 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: You see a lot of times guys will have more 385 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 2: power when they get to the major leagues than they 386 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: had in the minor leagues because you're seeing more consistent strikes, 387 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 2: you're getting better lumber to use, the lighting is better, 388 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: the conditions are better, and you'll see power go up. 389 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: And you're playing every day. 390 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: You play more games in the major leagues obviously, so 391 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: and better hitting coaches, better analytics. So everything's better in 392 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: the major leagues, and that's why you see power numbers jump. 393 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: But from watching him play in spring training, I came 394 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: away very impressed. I could see him as being like 395 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: a two to eighty hitter who hits like, I don't know, twenty. 396 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: Home runs a season. 397 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: And I haven't seen much of his defense, but apparently 398 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: he's a solid defender too, So you know, keep an 399 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: eye on him as a potential g laborator as replacement. 400 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: But like I said, he's got to get some time 401 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: on the field before we can even consider that. 402 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: So all right, ladies and gentlemen, take a few more 403 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: wrap it up. I gotta get out of here, Joe said. 404 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 2: Which in the labor last year when the Marlins wanted him. 405 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: Kevin Barry says, when is Peraza getting back? 406 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 2: He's also due back in mid June. Brian says, apparently 407 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: the Padres are trading for a Why not us? 408 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: It's a good question. 409 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're just counting on glabor tor 410 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: As returning to form. 411 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, all. 412 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: Right, ladies and gentlemen, fun one today, Yankees win two 413 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: in a row again.
