1 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Going to cook it's all. 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. A few 3 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 2: things before we get started, I want to lay out 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: exactly how this episode is going to be set up. 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a look at each of the major players. 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna dig my way through all the bench 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: guys and all of the bullpen pieces. I'm gonna cover 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: the main guys, the starters, the rotation, and the back 9 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: end of the bullpen guys, and we're gonna hand out 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: grades based on the performance of the ball club this year. Now, 11 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 2: I'm kind of grading on what was expected right now. 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: Some guys we didn't expect a lot out of and 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 2: they've overperformed. And some guys we expected improvement or expected 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 2: them to play better than they have and they've underperformed, 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 2: and that will contribute to my grade. But as always, 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: this is just for fun. This has no real world values. 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: So don't get angry if I give your guy a 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: B when you think it deserves an A, or if 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: I give you a guy and you think he deserves 20 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: to be Some guys started off hot and cooled off. 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: Some guys start off cool and heat it up. So 22 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: I'm trying to base it on the whole season and 23 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: take everything that we've seen so far into account. Post 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 2: your grades in the chat, and obviously everybody has their 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: own grading system, so feel free to disagree. I think 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: some of them are gonna be obvious. I mean, Aaron 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: Judge thirty five home runs at the break has had 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: a pretty solid year spoiler. But yeah, post your grades 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: and hopefully you won't hate mine too much. Also, I've 30 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: been asked to tell you guys about chat BCC. It's 31 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: a system that allows you to interact with us here 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: at the foul Territory Network, not only me, but you 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: know aj Prazinski, Air krat Scott brought all those guys, 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: So head on over to foul Territory dot chat. They've 35 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: got a trivia game going on right now where they're 36 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: giving away a couple of baseball jerseys four hundred dollars values. 37 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: So if you're into baseball trivia, fire that up. But 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,919 Speaker 2: let's begin with Austin Wells. Now, you guys will notice 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: that my war is based on Baseball Reference War. I 40 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: just find their system easier to work with, so I 41 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: tend to rely on b WAR for my war calculations. Now, 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: Austin Wells is one of these guys who we expected 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 2: a lot from and he's kind of underperformed in some areas. 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 2: Now you look at the fourteen home runs, he's already 45 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: got a career best in home runs. His OPS is 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: not bad, seven thirty nine. He's driven in fifty three runs, 47 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: so over the course of a full hundred and sixty 48 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: two that would be on pace for over one hundred RBI. 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 2: So he's been productive. But you look at the war 50 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: you know, over half the season. Now we're ninety six 51 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: games in and he's under a replacement level. So replacement 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: like an L league average would be two point zero. 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: That'd be a league average player. Anything under that you 54 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: consider like a replacement level player. The defense is hard 55 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: to quantify because his defense is mostly framing. You know, 56 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 2: the framing has been good, but he doesn't throw out 57 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 2: a lot of runners, So I'm going mostly on average 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: defenders kind of what I have. You ate him as 59 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: maybe a little bit above average in some areas, but 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: I'm looking at his offense, and to me, he has 61 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: not been quite as consistent as you'd like him to 62 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: be in terms of getting hits. Two twenty six average. 63 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 2: He did have some health problems, but the power has 64 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: been there, production's been there. I'm giving him a C 65 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: and I'm seeing some c's. I'm seeing some b pluses 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: in the chat, but I'm going with a C for 67 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 2: Austin Wells. Let me know what you think, and hey, 68 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: C is not bad. That's about average. Paul gold Smith. Now, 69 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt is a guy who I was not super 70 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 2: high on when they signed him, but he impressed me 71 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: coming out of the gay Duck. He got off to 72 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: a really good start. He was hitting about three fifty 73 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: for a while, but you have to take into account 74 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: the whole season. He's gone ice cold for a while. 75 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: He just recently started heating back up. For a first baseman, 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: you'd like more power than eight home runs in ninety 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: six games. You know you want your first baseman to 78 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: hit twenty five bombs. I don't think he's gonna get there. 79 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have fifteen or sixteen home runs. 80 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: But he is making contact. He's one of these guys 81 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: difficult to strike out. He's had a lot of big RBIs. 82 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: He's only got thirty six RB so he hasn't driven 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: him a ton of runs. But I feel like he's 84 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 2: driven in some big runs so far, and you know, 85 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: the one sixteen ops means he's sixteen percent above league 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: average at his position. So I'm giving him a B 87 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 2: plus based on expectations, I would have expected him to 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 2: be a CSC minus, so his hot start kind of 89 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 2: outweighs some of that. For me, he can't put him 90 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: in the A category anymore, just because of that big 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: cold slump while the Yankees were doing bad, so he 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: to me falls to a B plus, but still very 93 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: solid grade. James says he likes Goldie's attitude. I like 94 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: his attitude too. Juan Soto says Goldie gets a B plus. 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 2: Louris c has given him a C plus. Larry is 96 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: going with a B. So you know, I think it's 97 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: good when there's debate and there's a lot of varied 98 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: opinion here. Let's move on to a mister a jazz 99 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 2: chishm yezz jazz Chisholm two fifty average, seventeen home runs. 100 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: The ops really stands out eight sixty one ops plus 101 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: one thirty seven OPS plus and that means he's thirty 102 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 2: seven percent better than league average offensively forty three RBIs 103 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: in sixty five games. Now, he did miss about thirty 104 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: games with that injury, and he's been a little bit 105 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: injury prone this year. He's had some issues, he's had 106 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: some shoulder issues. He has started playing at seventy percent, 107 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: he said, just to like ease back on how hard 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 2: he pushes his body and just let his natural athleticism, 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: natural quick twitch muscle speed take over. And defensively he's 110 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: been up or down. He's been throwing the ball in 111 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: the seats a lot, which you don't want. He's been 112 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 2: a little bit wild at third base. They moved him 113 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 2: back to second base and he's still threw one away, 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: although I'm crediting some of that to Oswald Parozza giving 115 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 2: him a bad feed the other day. But overall, I've 116 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: been pretty satisfied with Jazz Chisholm. I'm giving him a 117 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: B on the season. Love his attitude, James likes his attitude. 118 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: Lord Raydon says B plus. If he fixed his swing earlier, 119 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: he'd be an easy A. I agree. I also love 120 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: that he is not resistant to change. Okay, this is 121 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: the guy who started the season with a torpedo bat 122 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: and then basically ditched it when he came back from 123 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 2: the il, and I like that because that means he's 124 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: willing to make the adjustments right, He's not going to 125 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 2: be stuck in his ways. Josh says B plus. So 126 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: once again B and he's been great after the injury. 127 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: Since the injury, I would say he's been a minus 128 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: maybe even in an A. It's just a reaction Anthony Volpi. 129 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: You notice right off the bat here I gave him 130 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: a D minus, just barely passing like me and algebra 131 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: class two fourteen average obviously terrible. Ten home runs, not horrible. 132 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 2: He's shown some pop, but a lot of that was 133 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: that first weekend. And if you recall, and you can 134 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: probably go back and watch this, you know, one of 135 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: the early post games that we did this year, maybe 136 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: third or fourth game of the season, after he had 137 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 2: a few home runs, I said, I hope he doesn't 138 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: try and become a home run hitter with this new 139 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 2: torpedo bat and fall under the illusion that he is 140 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: a home run hitter, because he's not. The guy that 141 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: Voping needs to be, is the guy who sacrifices a 142 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: little bit of exit velocity to put the ball in play, 143 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: and he was that guy for the first part of 144 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: last year up until about June, and then the wheels 145 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: fell off because his swing got too big. This year, 146 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: his swing has started off big and it stayed big, 147 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: and he should sacrifice a little bit of power for 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: contact if he wants to be better. And defensively he's 149 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 2: taken a step back, so I'm giving him a D 150 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: minus on the season. Only saving grace for him is 151 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: he has driven in forty nine runs. Okay, so he's 152 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: been about league average one point two b war right now, 153 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: but the offense has got to be better. You're a 154 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: premier position in Major League Baseball, in a big city, 155 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: big market, you gotta have a premier player at that position. 156 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: Oswald Parrazza, he is an f for me. Yeah, he's 157 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: shown some sparklers on defense, but he's also had some 158 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: bonehead plays on defense. Hitting one forty nine, he's basically 159 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: hitting worse than a pitcher. Three home runs, four fifty 160 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: six ops, twenty eight ops plus. That's I can't even 161 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 2: believe he's in the major leagues at that point. Thirteen 162 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: RBIs he has appeared in sixty three games, so you 163 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: can't say that he hasn't had his opportunities. He's just 164 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: been bad. He's been a complete disappointment. This is a 165 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: guy who's a former number one overall prospect for the Yankees. 166 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 2: The swing path is not good. I like his attitude, 167 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: I like his arm, I love his hands. I think 168 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: he's going to be a premier defender for his entire career, 169 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: and he's going to bounce around from team to team. 170 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 2: But to me, he's Tyler Wade. Just can't hit, and 171 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: Tyler Wade might even be a better hitter. Right So, 172 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 2: Oswald Parrazza unfortunately gets the F for me. Carlos Alvarez 173 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: a F minus. Yeah, he's been bad. Jason Dominguez proof 174 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: that the Yankees can occasionally produce something from their farm system. 175 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 2: Hitting two sixty six, eight home runs, seven to sixty 176 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,079 Speaker 2: ops one twelve ops plus, so he's been twelve percent 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: of league average. The defense has not been great, but 178 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: he's been getting better. Thirty four RBIs in eighty games. 179 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: He had a three home run game, he had a 180 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: walk off home run. And I think they've done a 181 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: nice job on the S network covering on the broadcast 182 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: showcasing how he has developed over the years, right over 183 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: the year early on, no chance against lefties, later, he's 184 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: been better, not great, but better. He's had some soft 185 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: hits against lefties, but hits. Nonetheless, He's done a great 186 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,599 Speaker 2: job running the bases, great job, and I love his attitude. 187 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: I love his ability to bring energy and inject energy 188 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: into the team, and I feel like he's going to 189 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 2: be a really good player. Probably not Rookie of the Year, unfortunately, 190 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 2: but you never know. Maybe it's fifteen home in the 191 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: second half. Who knows. But so far, I'm giving him 192 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: a B minus, which is not bad, not bad, could 193 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: be better. I would like to see a bit more pop. 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: I would have hoped he would have had fifteen home 195 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: runs by now, but that's a lot. That's asking a 196 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 2: lot of a rookie. Next Cody Bellinger, Ye bell Now Bellinger. 197 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: We were all wondering if he would be more like 198 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: the guy from the Cubs a couple of years ago 199 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: than the guy he was last year with the Cubs, 200 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: and so far he has been. Now the average hasn't 201 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: been as high, but he's hitting two eighty two. He's 202 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: hitting really, really well after that initial tough start to 203 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: the year. Sixteen home runs, eight thirty ops one twenty 204 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: six ops plus. He's driven in fifty four runs. He's 205 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: got a three point one b WAR. Honestly, he's he's 206 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: approaching the type of player that he was in twenty 207 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: twenty three I believe it was. I believe he had 208 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: a five WAR that year. So he's on pace to 209 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 2: get close to that. So the question is will he 210 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: opt out and trying a big contract? Kenny keep this 211 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: up in the second half. But right now, I'm giving 212 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 2: Cody Bell and Jereby Plus a very solid B plus 213 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: three home run game. The other day, we got some a's, 214 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: we got some A minuses. I can't give him an 215 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: A just because of the slow start right in A 216 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 2: to me is you know, minus the occasional bad game, 217 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 2: great start to finish, you know, John Carlos Dan, I 218 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: have to give him an incomplete now. He's looked like 219 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: John Carlo since coming back. I got the wrong staff 220 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: for him. He does not have sixty three games played. 221 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna remove that. I was just a typo there. 222 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: But he does have four home runs. He's got a 223 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: seven eighty three ops uh one seventeen ops plus since 224 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: coming back, But again, not enough reps to really give 225 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: him a complete grade. But I'd say so far, just 226 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: what we've seen. I give him a B minus. You know, 227 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: he continues to strike out, doesn't run the bases at all, 228 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: don't played defense. But he's got pop and can change games. 229 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,199 Speaker 2: But I'm giving him an incomplete. I think he by 230 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 2: the end of the year will be a you know, 231 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 2: at least a B minus. Ben Rice Ben Rice two 232 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,719 Speaker 2: thirty five average, fourteen home runs, seven ninety one ops 233 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 2: one nineteen ops plus, so nineteen percent of the average, 234 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: he's got thirty one ribies and a zero point nine 235 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 2: B war. Now, I did not expect this kind of 236 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: production out of him, and he has been a little 237 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: bit unlucky, so that two thirty five average is a 238 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,599 Speaker 2: little bit deceptive. I mean, his expected batting average is 239 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: much higher, but he's been basically a twenty five to 240 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: thirty home run bat when he's been in the lineup. 241 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: I am giving him a B plus on the year, 242 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: with hope that next year he can be our starting 243 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: first baseman and maybe hit thirty five home runs like 244 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: he's shown to be that type of hitter. He has 245 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: been healthy to this point, he's caught some games, he's 246 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 2: played first base. I mean, he runs the bases fine, 247 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 2: He seems like he's a good, good young player. Again, 248 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: more proof that the Yankees can develop talent in their 249 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: minor leagues. A lot of b's and a lot of 250 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 2: B minuses. In the chat, lariusays, Uncle Ben gets a 251 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 2: B VS sorry vfs as C minus. He's dropped off 252 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 2: from his start. That's fair. He has dropped off from 253 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: his start, but he was incredibly hot, like he was 254 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: playing at like an A plus level to start the season, 255 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 2: so some regression to the mean was expected. Let's go 256 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: to Trent Grisham. Trent Grisham, I'm giving him an A minus. 257 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: He has been a nice surprise for me. I did 258 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: not expect him to play very much. Again, this is 259 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 2: one of those things where it's the perception of what 260 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 2: he was going to do versus what he's actually done. 261 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: He's got seven to ninety one ops. He's probably gonna 262 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: hit twenty five home runs. He's got sixteen home runs 263 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 2: on the year, one twenty seven ops plus thirty three 264 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: RBIs in seventy nine games and a two point four 265 00:13:54,320 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: b war and really really solid defense. Again, he's regrets 266 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 2: he was hitting three hundred a few weeks ago, so 267 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 2: he's had a cold streak, but he's bounced back a 268 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 2: little bit, like we've seen him get some big hits. 269 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 2: So I'm confident that he's going to continue to produce 270 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: in the second half. Right now, giving Trent Grisham the 271 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: A minus A minus for Trent Grisham, and Yolo says 272 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: A minus does the job. Michael Puma says, A we've 273 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: got some B plus's ex calibres is B plus. LORI 274 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: c given the B for Trent Grisham, and then VFS 275 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: has trade him now while his value is high. All right, 276 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: here comes the big one, mister, Aaron Judge. I think 277 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: that Aaron Judge is about as close to the A 278 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 2: plus as you can get, and so I gave him 279 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: an A plus. I mean, he's had one or two 280 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: little slumps, but he's got a seven B war on 281 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: the season space for one of the best war seasons 282 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 2: of all time. I'm sorry to get much better than that. 283 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: Three fifty five average, thirty five home runs at the break, 284 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: one point nine four ops two to twenty eight ops. 285 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: So he's one hundred and twenty eight percent better than 286 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: the average player offensively. I mean, he's just sick. He's 287 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: as good as it gets. He's my favorite Yankee right now. 288 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: He's He's insane. Uh so a plus for Aaron Judge, 289 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 2: who I think is probably gonna win another MVP and 290 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: really should be his fourth MVP because he got robbed 291 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: his first year. But big no brainer from Aaron Judge. 292 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: All right, leave your grades in the chat.

We hope that he comes back a 324 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: strong in the second half.

I've 334 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: been I've been making a lot of reckless mistakes here 335 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 2: in the last couple weeks because I'm tired, because you 336 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 2: do you know, I mean, this is ninety six post 337 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: games plus I don't know how many voicemail shows and 338 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: random shows, I mean, probably one hundred and twenty hundred 339 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 2: and thirty shows so far over the first few months, 340 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,239 Speaker 2: and you just start to get worn out, right. So 341 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons that after today, I'm taking 342 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: a few days off. I gotta reset the batteries a 343 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 2: little bit. Carlos Rodon it'll be in there for strike three. 344 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 2: I'm giving rodn an a minus. The only reason that 345 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 2: he's not an A or an A plus is because 346 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: of the fifteen home runs allowed. Got off to a 347 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: tough start. He is ten and six on the year, 348 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: three point eight e r. He's appeared in twenty games, 349 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: one hundred and nineteen and two thirds innings one hundred 350 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 2: and thirty five strikeouts and again fifteen home runs allowed, 351 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: two point nine b war So, yeah, I'm giving him 352 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 2: an A minus on the season. We've also got some 353 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: people saying a minus. We got a Max Freed saying 354 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: a solid A, and then rodn B plus from Lori 355 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 2: c ex Caliber going with an A VFS Rodon and 356 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: a What a comeback season for him? Yeah, I mean, 357 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: he's another guy who's showing a ton of resilience, gonna 358 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 2: be an American League All Star A minus. Will Warren 359 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: given him a B plus. I never thought I would 360 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 2: do this. If you've been watching this show for a 361 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: long time, you knew I was not a Bill and 362 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: Will Warren because of what we saw last year. He 363 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: was just hitting way too many bats. But he's another 364 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 2: guy that has impressed me with his resilience, his stick touitiveness, 365 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: six and five record, four point six three ERA, but 366 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: that era is a little bit deceptive. He's been solid 367 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 2: way more often than not. But when he's been bad, 368 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: he's been really hit hard. Ninety and third inning, one 369 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve strikeouts, so more than a strikeout purnings 370 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: pitched again, nine home runs allowed, zero point five be 371 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: war I thought that would be higher just given his 372 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 2: overall performance, but he's done well. I'm giving him a 373 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: B plus. I mean, I could go with a B 374 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: for him, but I'm just giving him that little extra 375 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: few points just for his attitude, for his resilience, for 376 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: how he's bounced back after a really, really tough year 377 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: last year, and then also the fact that he's stayed healthy. 378 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: I mean, his guy's made twenty starts as a rookie. 379 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: He keeps taking the ball, he keeps showing up. That's 380 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: got to count for something. So B plus for Will Warren. 381 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: Next we're going to Clark Schmidt, who unfortunately has his 382 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: final grade on the season. I've given him a B plus. 383 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: He is four and four with a three point three 384 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: to two ERA, and it will end that way because 385 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 2: he's having Tommy John surgery. But I thought he was phenomenal. 386 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 2: Fourteen games started, seventy eight and two thirds innings, seventy 387 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: three strikeouts. He had a scoreless inning streak of twenty 388 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: eight and a third innings. I really hope he can 389 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 2: get well soon, but we're not going to see him 390 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: at all next year, I'm sure, unless there's some kind 391 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: of a medical miracle. But Clark Schmidt B plus for me. 392 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: And now the other end of the spectrum, Marcus Stroman 393 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 2: given him just a solid F. I almost gave him 394 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 2: a D minus because he's pitched better the last couple 395 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: of times out, but six point sixty six ERA in 396 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: six games. He really hasn't been able to take the ball. 397 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: He hasn't really been available. Negative war total on the 398 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: season zero point three, only fifteen strikeouts and twenty four 399 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 2: and a third innings. I think he's pretty much hooked. 400 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 2: But he was solid as the last couple of times out. 401 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: So this one was originally a D minus and then 402 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 2: I changed it to an F. I could easily be 403 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: a D minus, could be an incomplete, but I'm giving 404 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 2: him an F right now because we expected him to 405 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: at least take the ball and fill in for you know, 406 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: some of these guys that were hurt Luis Hugh Garrett Cole, 407 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 2: and he's been mostly unavailable, and when he has pitched, 408 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: for the most part, he has not been good. Next 409 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: Ryan Yarbro. Ryan Yarbro gets a B plus for me. 410 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 2: He could also get an incomplete, but he's a guy 411 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: we did not expect to start and He has done 412 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: a great job starting games for this team. He is 413 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 2: injured right now. Again, you have to dock him a 414 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: little bit for availability. Otherwise I think he would have 415 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: been an A. The e er is a little bit 416 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 2: inflated by a bad game or two, but he was really, 417 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: really solid. He was keeping guys off base. He did 418 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 2: allow too many home runs ten home runs allowed. But 419 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 2: I can't wait to have this guy back. He was super, 420 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: super reliable. Next up, we're going to the bullpen. Luke 421 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: Weaver getting a B minus one and three on the 422 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: season two point nine to one ERA for me, he's 423 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 2: given up too many home runs. He's allowed six home 424 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 2: runs already. Since he's come back from his injury, he 425 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: has not been the same guy. It might be mechanics, 426 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 2: it could be that he's not fully healthy, but he 427 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 2: has not been the same guy. We need him to 428 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: get dominant again and fast. Hopefully during this layoff here 429 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: during the All Star break he can rest up, heal up, 430 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 2: and come out of the gate strong in the second half. 431 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 2: But B minus for the dream Weaver and then last 432 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,120 Speaker 2: but not least in there, Devin Williams, who I am 433 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: giving a C on the year three and three with 434 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 2: a four point five eight ERA thirty nine appearances, so 435 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: he's been healthy. He has not had any signs of 436 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 2: that back injury that he had last year. Forty six 437 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 2: strikeouts and thirty five and a third innings. He's only 438 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,200 Speaker 2: allowed one home run when he got off to such 439 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: a bad start that it's hard to give him much 440 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: better than a SEA. This is one of those guys 441 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 2: who could be a pick to rise in the second half. 442 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 2: He's looked much more comfortable lately and hopefully he is 443 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 2: able to, you know, pitch better. So I'm giving him 444 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,959 Speaker 2: a C right now, with room for improvement in the 445 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 2: second half. So let me know what you think. In 446 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: the chat. We got some c's here, All right, let's 447 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 2: move on to some voicemails. Here, we got a few voicemails. 448 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: We got Brian who wants to grade the whole. 449 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 4: Org what's up, Derek. I know you were going to 450 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 4: do a video on some valuations today. Wasn't going to 451 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 4: give really any player evaluations, but if you didn't mind, 452 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 4: I would say some of my organizational grades and Brian 453 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 4: Cashman in general, in my opinion, is probably the lowest 454 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 4: grade on the list. He would have to be somewhere 455 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 4: between a D plus and a C minus. The only 456 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 4: saving grace on his grading this year be Max Freed, 457 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 4: which was a great pick up. It truly was. But 458 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 4: the roster construction is weak that the Yankees can't hit 459 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 4: left handed pitching. We don't have the same type of 460 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: infield depth that we've had in years past. We got 461 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: like what four quality starting outfielders that we can't get 462 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 4: enough playing time to. It's just he's been He's weak. 463 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: Boone. 464 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Yeah, it's hard to say. I 465 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: mean because he did have to pivot when they lost 466 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: to won Soto, and I like the pivot. I love 467 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: what they've gotten from gold Schmidt. Obviously, Freed was a 468 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: no brainer. And then Bellinger, I mean he got him 469 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: for a cup of coffee, right. They traded Cody Potit 470 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: to pick up a guy who's got a eight thirty 471 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: oh ps. So I'm not going to give Cashman too 472 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: much grief. But Boone has been terrible. I'm giving Boone 473 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: a C minus for this team. I feel like he 474 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 2: has pushed a lot of the wrong buttons, especially in 475 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: the bullpen. The lineup is still too different every single day, 476 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, not a good year for Aaron Boone. Call 477 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: here about Volpe. 478 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek, hope you're doing well. I hope the family 479 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: is doing well. Anthony Volpi needs to bet nine A 480 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: need to figure out a way to trade for players. 481 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: He needs to be a number nine hitter for them 482 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: to be successful. Enough with this him batting sixth seventh experiment, 483 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: it's not working. 484 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 2: He needs appreciate the call. Only problem is you still 485 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: got Oswald Parazza in the lineup most days, and he 486 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: is not as good as Anthony Volpi, right, so you 487 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 2: really want him hitting ahead of Opie. I don't know. 488 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: I'd prefer to give that extra bad if it comes 489 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: down to it to Volpi rather than Oswald Parazza, because 490 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: Paraza has shown me nothing offensively. But hey, everybody appreciate 491 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,640 Speaker 2: you tuning in. Leave your grades in the comments. Let 492 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 2: us know what you think.
