1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: All right, but it the field, Well you did it.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 2: Congratulations, you made it through the winter, and now baseball

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 2: is back, baby. We got an opening day matchup between

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: the Yankees and the Brewers, Carlos Rodon getting the opening

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: day nod for the Yankees. On the Hill, Aaron Judge

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: beginning his quest for a third MVP in four years.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: And we got the Yankee debuts of Paul Goldschmidt and

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger, a couple of former MVPs. My recap, your

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: reactions coming up next. It's baseball season, baby. Welcome to

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: Pinstripe Territory.

11
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: One to pull cats all.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Talk about sweating one out there on opening Day. Welcome back, everybody.

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 2: Another season of Yankees baseball begins with a w. Let's

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: see those ws in the chat. Austin Wells in the

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: leadoff spot for the first time ever in Yankees history.

16
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: A catcher hit leadoff. And what does he do? Hits

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: a home run? As Joe Girardi would say, it's what

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: you want. And by the way, when we win, we

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: wear the victory hat. We wear the victory hat. The

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: first win of the year, we talked a lot about

21
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: how without Juan Soto, some of the younger guys are

22
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: gonna have to step up this year. We called it

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: mission improvement, and two of them homeward in their first

24
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 2: at bat. Today, Anthony Volpi also went deep. In this sport,

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: they call it the championship season. This is officially the

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five championship season, but there can be only

27
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: one champion. Is this the year that the Yankees end

28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: their drought? We shall see. I'll get to my predictions later.

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: My name is Derek Lewandowski. I am the host of

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: pinstrike Territory, the official Yankees podcast of the Foul Territory Network.

31
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: What are all of your names? It used to be

32
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: NYY Recaps if you're just checking back in. We switched

33
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 2: over to Pinstripe Territory when we joined the Foul Territory

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: Network last August, and we're still here after every single

35
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: game to recap Yankees games all season long. And I

36
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: will give you the key takeaways when we get to

37
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: the postgame recap in just a second. But first a

38
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: few quick news and notes, which is something we do

39
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: on this channel. Ben Rice not only made the roster,

40
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: but he switched his number from ninety three to twenty two.

41
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: He was the starting DH our former number twenty two

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 2: Juan Soto with the Mets today picked up his first hit,

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: but Clay Holmes had a tough day. Right now, the

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: Mets are down. Last I checked, oswald Parraza also made

45
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: the team, although you know he has no options left,

46
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: so he expected him to either make the team or

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: be a Dfaight, he wasn't gonna get sent down, but

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: he had only won sixty this spring. His glove is elite,

49
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: but I think a trade could be in his future.

50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: Oswaldo Cabrera played today, went one for three with a

51
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: run score, so off to a decent start. Speaking of trades,

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: there's been some reports that the Yankees are looking to

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: make an early season trades, still trying to pick up

54
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: a right handed bat and John Carlos Stanton, one of

55
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: their big time right hand the best that they were

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: counting on, has finally started swinging, but Boone said there

57
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: is no timetable for his return. And another guy that

58
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: they had, you know, well they hadn't talked about, but

59
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 2: we had talked about potentially as a trade piece. Jordan

60
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: Montgomery is having his second Tommy John surgery, so get

61
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: well soon. Obviously, he's gonna miss the season, just like

62
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: our guy Garrett Cole. But we also found out today

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 2: that Cody Potit got dfaed by the Cubs. He was

64
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: the guy the Yankees traded for Cody Bellinger, so another

65
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: move that works out for the Yankees. Would not be

66
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: shocked at all if they re signed him. I didn't

67
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: see what he did the spring. I wasn't paying attention,

68
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: but I liked what he did with the Yankees last year.

69
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: All right, looks like the chat is filling up about

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: five hundred in the chat, so let's go ahead and

71
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: move on to the game. Franklin Lopez, with the first

72
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: super chat of the day, says, not gonna lie. I

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: was having cardiac. Clay Holmes vibes me too, man, and

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: that last inning I was my heart was pumping. We'll

75
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: get there, but appreciate the chat. So we'll talk about

76
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: Carlos rodin a little bit more in depth when we

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: get to the pitching spotlight. But with a nice growth

78
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: of beard today he looked much more like the serial

79
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: killer version of himself that we saw with the White

80
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: Sox and the Giants. He was really sharp, made a

81
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: solid case for himself for the belt go ahead and

82
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: get your belt votes in in the chat. But yeah,

83
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: I thought his stuff was very sharp. Slider was good,

84
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 2: fastball was you know, ninety six. He had good command

85
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: and pitched if you you know, look at the numbers.

86
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: Five and a third innings in one run is at

87
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: one point six nine ERA, So you know you'll take

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: that over the course the full season. You'll take that

89
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: every time out, for sure. Jazz Chisholm back at second

90
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: base this year. Very nice play in the first inning,

91
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: much more range than Glabor Torres and a better arm.

92
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: He and Volpie looked like a good combination over there.

93
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: I didn't see any double plays, but they had a

94
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,559
Speaker 2: couple of chances, and they have a really quick turn.

95
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: So I'm liking what we're seeing from the double play

96
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: Keystone combination right now. Austin Wells first catcher ever to

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 2: lead off for the Yankees, and he tomahawked a high

98
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 2: fastball into the short porch for a leadoff home run

99
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: three hundred and forty eight feet one hundred and three

100
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: point seven mile an hour exit velocity. Not the longest

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 2: home run that you'll ever see, for sure, but it

102
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 2: counts just as much even if it's a wall scraper.

103
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Even if it's in the first row, it counts and

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: it's funny. Last night we did a little bit of

105
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: a behind the scenes chat and I asked, you guys,

106
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: you know, who do you think is gonna hit the

107
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 2: first home run? And pretty much everybody was in the

108
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: chat at the time was like Austin Wells and so

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: I was like, well, maybe he'll do it to lead off.

110
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: And then I saw my guy, Aiden Bechamp, who does

111
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: our social media. He tweeted last night around midnight he

112
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: said that Austin Well's home run is gonna, you know,

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: hit like something else to lead off the game. So

114
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: shout out to you, Aiden for calling that one. Jason

115
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: Dimingez grounded out to second base and his first at bat,

116
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: and I immediately, because I'm a huge Jason Dimingaz fan,

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: got a text from a Yankee hater said, oh, he's overrated,

118
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: he sucks. They shouldn't just let anybody watch baseball. Come on.

119
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 2: But anyway, before I was able to tell him exactly

120
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: where he can shove his cell phone, Anthony Volpie distracted

121
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: me with a solo home run, his first of the year.

122
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 2: Nice piece of hitting for Anthony Volpi. I'm working on

123
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: redoing my store and one of the phrases that I'm

124
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: gonna put on a T shirt is Opo Bopo Anthony

125
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: Vopie going Opo bopo three hundred and seventy three feet

126
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and three point eight mile an hour exit

127
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: velocity hashtag appo bopo, and the chat is teshany falties

128
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: my God home ru.

129
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm so happy.

130
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Love getting the calls from a happy Yankees fans. You

131
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: can call in at seven one, eight, eight, nine, nine,

132
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: ten sixty eight. We're gonna play voicemails throughout the season

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: this year throughout the show. We also have a voicemail

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: show that we do the day after game, so I'll

135
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: be doing one ten thirty tomorrow morning to call in

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: with your thoughts. On opening Day, Cody Bellinger picked up

137
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: his first hit as a Yankee, a hard one hundred

138
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: and five mile an hour bass hit through the right

139
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: side couple of years ago. That's probably an out because

140
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: of the overshift. I can't tell you how many hits

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: like that. Mark Tishera and Brian mccannon had taken away

142
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: where you just rip it right by the first baseman.

143
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: But the second baseman was playing, you know, fifteen to

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: twenty feet out into the grass and was able to

145
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: throw him out at first base. So you know, that

146
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: got through because of the rule change. And that's one

147
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: of the reasons I think Bellinger can three hundred. You'll

148
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: see him hit the ball the left field, You'll see

149
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: him hit the ball off the middle. You'll see him

150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: pull it. He hit a number of shots down the

151
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: line in spring training. Just a good all around hitter.

152
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have a good year. Look good

153
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: in the outfield today, although I did see him catch

154
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: one on his heel. He probably thought we didn't see that,

155
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: but we see everything here Yankees fans. In the bottom

156
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: of the fifth inning, Ben Rice smoked one off the

157
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: right field wall. His swing is noticeably harder than last year.

158
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: He led the grape Fruit League and exit velocity. That

159
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: one was one O three point seven, same speed as

160
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 2: the Wells home run. And the Yankees threatened in the

161
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 2: fifth inning two to one for Aaron Judge, but Freddy

162
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 2: Peralta was empty in the tank. I thought he was

163
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: gonna make a mistake. He was basically just trying to

164
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: amp up fastballs, trying to blow Judge away, and that's

165
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: not usually a great strategy. That's how Judge turns a

166
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 2: lot of you know, tired pitchers into you know guys

167
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 2: who just gave up a three run home run and

168
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: are hitting the shower. And I thought that was gonna happen.

169
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: But he got one by Judge and got out of

170
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: the threat. Mark Lighter Junior turned in a really good

171
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: performance today. He was sporting the goatee, which I like,

172
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 2: but not everyone loves.

173
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: Hey calling in for the first time watching it opening day,

174
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 3: I just wanted to get ahead of this. Lighters gotta

175
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: shave man. I don't like that on him. Yeah, I'm

176
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: watching it right now. It's top seven. He just like

177
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: turned around after after a nice pitch and oh no,

178
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't like that. It's a little too red soxy.

179
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was okay with Rodn's in Domindez.

180
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: I really thought I wasn't gonna care about this, but

181
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: here I am. Oh that's terrible. They just put him

182
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: on Screna again. Yeah, sorry, Bud, Lighters gotta shave. That's

183
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: all I gotta say. Happy that baseball's back. Go Yanks

184
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: Chase for twenty eight.

185
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call even if you're ripping on Mark Lighter.

186
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: Judge doubled in the seventh to make it three to one,

187
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: and then Bellinger with a productive out a sack fly

188
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 2: to make it four to one. That was the end

189
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: of the scoring for the Yankees. Oswaldo Carbrera challenged Jackson

190
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: Curio's arm and got the better of him. Maturial had

191
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: a tough day. I mean, he had a great season

192
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: last year as a rookie, but he went over five

193
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: with five strikeouts, and he failed to throw out that runner,

194
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 2: and he struck out in a big spot in the

195
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: ninth and against Devin Williams top eight Luke Weaver in

196
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 2: the game. Been a long time since we played this

197
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: sound effect. He looked great. Austin Wells took a foul

198
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: tip off the right shoulder was kind of shook up

199
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 2: for a minute. And catchers used to wear a flap

200
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: over their right shoulder. I have an old catcher's you know,

201
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: chest protector somewhere and it has the flap over both

202
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: shoulders so that you don't take one off of that.

203
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what it's called the bone

204
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: in your shoulder there, but you know, he doesn't wear one.

205
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: It's his choice, probably because he can throw a little

206
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: bit better without it. But that's the type of thing

207
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: that over the course of the season and will build up,

208
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: and it can kind of tamp down a catcher's offensive production,

209
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: you know, those injuries build up. But a scoreless eighth

210
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: inning for Luke Weaver and then the debut of the

211
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: bearded Airbender Devin Williams, who collectively killed about probably eighty

212
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: to eighty five Yankees fans with heart attacks. If you

213
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: were watching this and you're eighty five ninety years old

214
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: and you're a diehard Yankees fan, you just died hard. Unfortunately,

215
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 2: but he needed to bend the air a little bit more.

216
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: He served up a run. His final line one inning,

217
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: two hits, one airn run, one walk, two strikeouts. So

218
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 2: his ERA is nine. But he's doing better than play homes.

219
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes had a tough day for the Mets as

220
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: the opening day starter. At least the Yankees pick up

221
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: a win game over win. Yank got a couple of

222
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: quick souper chats here. Louis Penafield says, I will make

223
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 2: it short, let's go Yankees. I appreciate that, and then

224
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: Charlie Moore says, welcome back everyone, and now for most

225
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: people's favorite part of the show. And you know, we're

226
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,119
Speaker 2: getting to it a little bit earlier than I had expected,

227
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: but we're gonna hand out the belt. The belt is

228
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 2: what we give out to the player of the game.

229
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: We don't give out anything after awards. We toyed around

230
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: with doing like a bum of the Day, but it

231
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: got really poor reception in spring training. You guys didn't

232
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: like it. You know, I'm a man of the people.

233
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll make up some other awards along the way,

234
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: maybe a Bozo of the Day, I don't know, but

235
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: today we do have a belt winner. It was a

236
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 2: tough decision. I thought about Wells because he set history

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: first catcher to lead off opening day with a home run,

238
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: first Yankee all lead off opening day with a home run.

239
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: You know, I thought about Volpi homered in his first

240
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: at bat. But ultimately there was one man who stood

241
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: out head and shoulders above the rest, and that man's

242
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: Carlos rode On your first belt winner. I'll be twenty

243
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: twenty five season. We'll have a ticker once we put

244
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: more of them together, once we get more belt winners.

245
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: But as of right now, Frankie Baseball is keeping track

246
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: of the Belt winners and we'll tally everything up at

247
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: the end of the season, just like we did last year.

248
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: And we'll talk more about Carlos Rodin in just a minute.

249
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: But he really set the tone, you know. I thought

250
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: he pitched very effectively. The stuff was great, and like

251
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 2: Joj you're already said, I think he feels more comfortable

252
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: in his own skin with the beard. I think that's

253
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: something that we're gonna see, you know, going forward, he's

254
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: gonna rock the beer. And again, just a reminder, you

255
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: can get Pinstripe Territory on the go on all your

256
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 2: favorite podcast platforms. As soon as the show is over,

257
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 2: I convert it to audio and we upload it to

258
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 2: the podcast platform. So if you wake up in the

259
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: morning you don't have time to catch the recap after

260
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: a late game, listen to it on the subway, Listen

261
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: to it on your drive to work or your ride

262
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: to school on the bus. Let's go ahead and get

263
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: to the pitcher spotlight. He just our opening day starter,

264
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 2: the one hundred and sixty one million dollar man, Carlos

265
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: rode on. It's been a bit up and down for

266
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: him in his Yankees career, but I have no complaints

267
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: about him today. The pitch mix I thought was excellent.

268
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: His slider was filthy out of the gate, made Jackson

269
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Surio look silly all game one, two three first inning,

270
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: pitched around a blop single in the second inning, served

271
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: up a solo home run in the third inning to

272
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: Vinnie Capra, who you know was red hot in spring training.

273
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: Ninety four mile an hour fastball just got too much

274
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: of the plate and it got hammered. Uh. You know,

275
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 2: he made Cheerio looked ridiculous again in his second bat

276
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: with a nasty change up. We've been saying that he

277
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: needs to break out a change up, and today he

278
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: threw eighteen change ups. That is a big deal. You know,

279
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 2: he's been needing to change speeds more, have something that

280
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: moves away from righties because a lot of what he

281
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,239
Speaker 2: throws his hard stuff in sliders, in hard fastballs, high,

282
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: you know cutters. Having a change up that's gonna sink

283
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: loan away is good. He also threw eleven sinkers today.

284
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: It's gonna kind of tail down and loan away. I

285
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: think Bearded Rodin is gonna be a big pick up

286
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: for the Yankees this year. Val and and why, says

287
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: Williams thirty six pitches. Glad the Yankees have a day

288
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: off tomorrow. Absolutely agree with you on that one. I

289
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: thought the slider from Rodind was about as sharp as

290
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: we've ever seen him. The curveball back door was good.

291
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: You know, obviously that's something that Andy Pettit used to

292
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: do that I loved. Andy Pettitt was working a lot

293
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: with Max Freed this spring. You got to imagine he's

294
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: been working with Carlos Rodin for the last couple of years,

295
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: and maybe that's something that finally got through. Hey, use

296
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: that breaking ball early in account, pitch backwards a little bit,

297
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: throw that first pitch curveball and get ahead with strike one.

298
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: You know, he made a really nice play on a

299
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: slow roller in the fourth inning. That's something that's difficult,

300
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: more difficult for a left handed pitcher, but it's difficult

301
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: for pitchers in general to come in make that throw.

302
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: You have to run, you have to throw while your

303
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: momentum is moving inward. And it's even tougher for a

304
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: left handed pitcher because you've got to spin and throw

305
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: to first base because his arm is facing first base,

306
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 2: so he's got to make a decision. Do I spin,

307
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: you know, to my right, or do I spin to

308
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: my left? And he got he made the play. He

309
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: was done after five and the third innings. Four hits allowed,

310
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: one run on the home run, two walks, and seven strikeouts.

311
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: You see the numbers on your screen, but if you're

312
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: listening to the audio version of the podcast, twelve swings

313
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: and misses, eighty nine pitches, fifty eight strikes. Max velosity

314
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: was ninety six point three. So the vlo is still

315
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: there and it will get better. We saw him touch

316
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: ninety eight ninety nine a lot during the postseason, and

317
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a good sign that he's thrown hard

318
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: early even though he's you know, not fully you know,

319
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: in mid season form, yet the arm is still still lively.

320
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on to topic number three, Yankees' debuts.

321
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: So I mentioned debuts today for Goldschmidt and Bellinger. Scary

322
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: moment for gold Smith in the first ending pop up

323
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: and the wind was nasty today and he had trouble

324
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: with it. He reeled it in, but you could see

325
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 2: that his heart was pounding.

326
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: Man.

327
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: It was like, you know, it was kind of like

328
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: Devin Williams's on the mound. You're just a heart attack there,

329
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: but he caught it, he reeled it in. Goldie went hitless,

330
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: Bellinger went one for two with a walk and a

331
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: sackfly and obviously Devin Williams had a tough day. I

332
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: love Opening Day, and I love when someone makes their Yankees' debut,

333
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: and whether it's a rookie making their major league debut

334
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: or a new free agent or somebody that we traded for,

335
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: it's just something special about seeing somebody in the pinstripes

336
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: for the first time. And I don't count spring training.

337
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: I know they wear pinstripes more in spring training, but

338
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 2: it just hits different when you got to pack to

339
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium fifty thousand people in the stands instead of

340
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: ten thousand. I thought it would be fun to talk

341
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: about some of my favorite all time debuts and some

342
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: of my more memorable opening days and just see where

343
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: you guys they're at. Maybe you guys can share in

344
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: the chat. You know, this is a podcast, it's not

345
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 2: just a recap, not just videos. We want to share stories.

346
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,239
Speaker 2: We want to build engagement with the community, So tell

347
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 2: us in the chat what your favorite Opening Day memories

348
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: are or your worst. Obviously, there was Jeter in ninety

349
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 2: six with the home run and the great play. He

350
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: had come up in ninety five, so it wasn't his profession,

351
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: it wasn't his major league debut, but it was his

352
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: debut as the Yankees starting shortstop. He won the Rookie

353
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: of the Year that year, hit the big home run

354
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 2: that Rizzuto called, Oh he got that one, and then

355
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: he made the great over the shoulder catch. And then

356
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: at three he was trying to take third base on

357
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: opening Day and he kind of had his shoulder his

358
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: arm stepped on and he ended up dislocating his shoulder

359
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: and he missed some time. That was against the Blue Jays,

360
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 2: and that was the debut of Hideki Matsuie. A lot

361
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 2: of people think that Matt Sui's Grand Slam was actually

362
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 2: an Opening Day, but it was actually opening Day at

363
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. They actually opened up in Toronto that year,

364
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: and his first hit was an opposite field single off

365
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: of Roy Holliday. Not sure why I remember that one,

366
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: what I do? John Carlos Stan also had a couple

367
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 2: of home runs in Toronto in his debut. I remember

368
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 2: I was super hyped for that. I was going nuts

369
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: a rod after the Big Trade made his debut in

370
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Japan against the Rays. I remember waking up at like

371
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 2: five in the morning to watch the game. I think

372
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: he's say, debuted against the Blue Jays a lot, and

373
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of them. Massiro Tanaka made his

374
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: debut in Toronto as well against the Blue Jays. I

375
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: was so into the Tanaka sweepstakes that winter, and when

376
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: they signed him to that seven year, one hundred and

377
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: fifty five million dollar deal, I I was hyped. And

378
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: then he gave You know, he was coming off of

379
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: a one point twenty seven era in Japan, and so

380
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: you figure this guy's gonna be dominant. And then he

381
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: gives up a two run home run in the first inning,

382
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 2: so right away that blew up a ZR. But he

383
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: ended up pitching a really good game, and I thenk

384
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: you went seven innings and two runs, had like seven

385
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: or eight strikeouts and beat the Blue Jays, picked up

386
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: a win. He actually started off six and oh that

387
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: year he had a stretch where he didn't lose for

388
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,159
Speaker 2: a long time. CC Sabathia another debut that I was

389
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: looking forward to after The Yankees signed him headed into

390
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: the nine season, and he made his debut against the

391
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: Orioles and it was awful. He had a tough day.

392
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: I had just gotten my dog, CC and we watched

393
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: it together. Cec actually passed away the dog, not the

394
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: pitcher last year on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium, So

395
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: that was a tough one. That was a tough memory.

396
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: Randy Johnson's debut was one that I was psyched for

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: in five after the four collapse. Any baseball will do,

398
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: but getting Randy Johnson was super cool, especially when he,

399
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: you know, almost fought a reporter getting off the plane basically,

400
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: and then he pitched against the Red Sox. You know,

401
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 2: MLB matched that up and he was terrific. But that

402
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: was pretty much the high point of his Yankees career. Honestly,

403
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: didn't really have a lot of double digit strikeout games

404
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: with the Yankees. The velocity was down. Ninety six Opening

405
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,239
Speaker 2: Day at Yankee Stadium was cool. Ninety eight Opening Day

406
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium, seventeen thirteen win over the oak In Athletics.

407
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: L Duque in ninety eight was an awesome debut. He

408
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 2: came with all the mysteries surrounding his defection from Cuba

409
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: and then completely dominated the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium.

410
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: That one is on the s Classics all the time,

411
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 2: and you can watch it on YouTube. They have that

412
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: in high depth. The Martian going deep in his debut

413
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 2: against Justin Verlander got me hyped. Judge and Tyler Austin.

414
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 2: Who could forget that going back to back in their

415
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: first Major league at bats. I think that's the only

416
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: time that's ever happened. And then Garrett Cole's debut after COVID.

417
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 2: We had to wait so long for COVID, you know,

418
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: the season to begin until July. And then John Carlos

419
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: Stanton hit a four hundred and eighty three foot home

420
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: run in that game. So just a few of those

421
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: are my favorite Yankees moments or more memorable moments from

422
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: debuts or opening days over the years. But congrats to

423
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt and Clay Bellinger or sorry, Cody Bellinger flash

424
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: from the past there first games as Yankees, and Devin

425
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 2: Williams I guess, and Max Freed will make his Yankees'

426
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 2: debut on Saturday. All right, let's get a couple of

427
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: more comments here. Richard C. Says Juan Soto left on

428
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 2: base all day. Let's go ahead and pull up the

429
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: games here. I'm looking at the Mets game. They're down

430
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: three to nothing in the eighth inning. Man that Mets

431
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: offense sure is intimidating. Six hits, clay Homes four and

432
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: two thirds innings, five hits, three runs, two of them

433
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: earned four walks. Here's the clay Homes that we remember.

434
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and yeah, it looks like they're down. Looked

435
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: like the Orioles were absolutely crushing the Blue Jays. They

436
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: won twelve to two. And again, we do have a

437
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: ticker here in the back, which right now it's not

438
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 2: showing any scores, but it will rotate through the scores

439
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: and as the year goes on, we'll add the standings

440
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: back in. Charlie Moore says, Yanks are going to be

441
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: a team that fights for every game. That's all we

442
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: can ask for. One hundred percent agree. Jim Sherlock says,

443
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 2: do you think the Yankees are gonna be all right? Well,

444
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: not that my opinion means anything about the future, but

445
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: I do think that we can go ahead and make

446
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: our predictions now twenty twenty five predictions. You guys have

447
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: been asking for this. I don't typically have a lot

448
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: of success with my long term predictions. I'm better at

449
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: day to day stuff, matchups and stuff, which we will

450
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 2: do more of. But I wanted to give you guys

451
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: my predictions for the year. Now, keep in mind, you

452
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 2: can't predict baseball. A wise man once said, you can't

453
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: predict baseball season or Susan, but can't break baseball season either.

454
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: But every year people passed me to make predictions. So

455
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: we're gonna do it. And my predictions might not necessarily

456
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: line up with what you want to happen or what

457
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 2: as a Yankee fan I want to happen. But I

458
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: also don't want to jinx thing. So I got the

459
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 2: Yankees winning the East, I got the Tigers winning the Central,

460
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 2: the Rangers winning the West. Wild cards in the American League,

461
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: Red Sox, Royals and Guardians. Got the Orioles missing the playoffs.

462
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: Day I think just losing too much pitching. Even though

463
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 2: they had a good day today, Blue Jay is not

464
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: gonna make the playoffs. And then Tiger's over the Yankees

465
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 2: in the ALCS again. They're their pitching is phenomenal. They

466
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: have Tarik Skubel, who has won a couple of or

467
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: he won a SI Young last year, has a chance

468
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: to win another this year. In the National League, Phillies,

469
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 2: Reds and Dodgers, the division winners, the Braves, Padres and Cubs,

470
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: the wild Cards, Braves over Dodgers. I got the Braves

471
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 2: topping the Dodgers in the NLCS, and then the Braids

472
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: over the Tigers in the World Series. And then maya

473
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 2: he who I said that? Pretty weird? My award winners

474
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: Judge MVP, Tatis MVP in the National League, Garrett Crochet

475
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: spelled wrong on myographic copy. What's it called auto correct there?

476
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: It's supposed to be two teas in Garrett Crochet. But

477
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: I got Crochet one of the scion Blake Snow winning it.

478
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: In the National League. I got Dominguez, who had a

479
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 2: tough day today, winning the American League Rookie of the Year,

480
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: and Roki Sazaki winning the National League Rookie of the Year.

481
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 2: So that's where we're at, all right. Let's take a

482
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: few more comments here as we prepare for a long season.

483
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: Luri c says this team is more athletic than we

484
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: have had in a very long time. One hundred percent

485
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 2: agree Lourie entering here fourth or fifth year as a

486
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: mod on this channel. Nyy Empire says, Belly thirty home runs.

487
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: I hope so, but honestly, I think he's going to

488
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: be super athletic and help the Yankees in a lot

489
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: of ways beyond just home runs. Take a few more

490
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: comments in just a moment. We have a whole section

491
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: dedicated to that. But first, a quick word from the sponsor,

492
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 2: got to pay the bills, True Classic. I got to

493
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 2: give a shout out to today's sponsor, True Classic. If

494
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: you're looking for clothes that don't break the bank and

495
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: actually fit, True Classic is the move. I am wearing

496
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: a True Classic shirt right now. Since they sent me

497
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: a package of them, I've been wearing them pretty much

498
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 2: NonStop because they are so comfortable. They're light, they fit well.

499
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: As you can see, they form to the body well.

500
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: I've lost bunch of weight lately and I just needed

501
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: some transitional clothing and they came along at the perfect time.

502
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: They have long sleeves, they have short sleeves. It's great

503
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: for taking a walk, for when you go to the

510
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: All right, we got a couple of comments here, so

511
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: we got some comments about Joe Buck. A lot of

512
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: people didn't like Joe Buck. I like Joe Buck. I

513
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: missed Joe Buck. I was glad to have him back.

514
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: T Boss fifty six says he sounded like an AI voice.

515
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,360
Speaker 2: I disagree. I I mean, you know, to each their own,

516
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: but I thought it was pretty good. Aaron Sheen says

517
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 2: the young talent needed to step up big in Game

518
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: one is a great sign of it. And then Richard

519
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: c says, Belly with more war so far than Soto.

520
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: We'll see if that holds true over the course of

521
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: the season, but you know, that would be nice. I

522
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be a lot of pressure on Juan

523
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 2: Soto to live up to that contract. I really do.

524
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: But you know, I can't blame him for taking the deal.

525
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounded like he had a little bit

526
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: of regret in spring training. It sounded like, you know,

527
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: he misses the Yankees. I think he does miss the Yankees.

528
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: But you know, his agent probably pressured him to take

529
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 2: the highest possible deal. And his family was Mets fans.

530
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: Apparently his mother was a Mets fan, and they wanted

531
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: him to play with the Mets, and apparently it's more

532
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 2: family friendly, which I disagree with. But hey, he had

533
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 2: a chance to come back to the Yankees and he decided,

534
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: you know, not to. He decided he wanted to be elsewhere.

535
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: I thought Anthony Volpi had some good swings today. I

536
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 2: thought that, you know, obviously Austin Well's had some good

537
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: at bats. Beyond the home run, he had a walk.

538
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 2: T Boss says Costas is terrible. Now. Costas has definitely

539
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: lost his fastball for sure. Richard c says, Basses juice

540
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 2: nobody out for the Mets versus Hater. It's interesting that

541
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: Hater has struggled so much with the Astros. How did

542
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: Cam Smith do today? So Cam Smith is a young

543
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 2: guy who got traded. He got drafted last year and

544
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: he got traded as part of the Kyle Tucker deal.

545
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: So I've been keeping an eye on him. He went

546
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: one for three today and he's new to the outfield.

547
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: He went one for three, so he picked up his

548
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: first big league yet. Al Tuve one for four with

549
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 2: three strikeouts. Gee, that's too bad. So we'll keep this

550
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: this an eye on this Mets game. But next Thursday,

551
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: I believe it's the third, it's Arizona Thursday. Next Thursday night,

552
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: there's a new event that's going to be happening where

553
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: you'll be able to watch the game live on your

554
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: computer with me and the Foul Territory crew. We got

555
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: a flavor phrase, Todd Frazier and Cameron Maban and I

556
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: believe Scott Brown is going to be on there too.

557
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: And then afterwards we'll have somebody on to do the

558
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 2: post game with me, a two person postgame show. But

559
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 2: you'll be able to watch the game right there on

560
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: your computer. I don't know if it's been I don't

561
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 2: think it's been announced yet by Foul Territory, so I

562
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: don't want to spill the beans on the platform, but

563
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: keep an eye out for that. I'll give you guys

564
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: more of a heads up and more of a notice

565
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: as we move forward. But hey, Yankees, win on opening

566
