1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: All right, the Tipathy rubber game matchup in the Bronx 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: between the Yankees and the Giants. We actually had a 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: little bit of sunshine today, some decent weather and a 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: matchup between Carlos Rodan and Logan Webb. Yankees trying to 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: take two out of three? Could they get it done? 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next next this his 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: pinstripe territory. 8 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: Just wanted to pull caps all. 9 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodon makes me want to puke. Another tough day 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: for mister meatball. Carlos Rodan could not get out Jung 11 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: Hu Lee, who took him deep twice and who was 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: not a home run hitter, but he got Carlos Rodan 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: for a big three run home run in the sixth inning. 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: Ruined what was a pretty good start to the game. 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: You know, we had some nice early at bats from 16 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: our younger guys. J c Escaro with the big double, 17 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Dominguez had a booming double, Ben Yce had another hit, 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmidt had a hit Judge big double in the 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: first inning. Things were looking good, but unfortunately, pitching will 20 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: always dictate whether you win or lose, and the pitching 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,639 Speaker 1: today just didn't get it done. And I'm so tired 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: of hearing about oh he he only wants one or 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: two pitches back. It was only one one or two pitches. 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: No sound, Really, somebody says, no sound. Maybe it's your 25 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Maybe it's your volume. I hate it when someone posts 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: like a technical thing in the chat and it screws 27 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: me up. Anyway, So tough day for Carlos rode On. 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: Bill says, never mind, Well, thanks a lot, Bill, thanks 29 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: a lot. You're ruined it for me here, you ruin 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: my little rant session. We should have a rant session 31 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: just dedicated to Bill. But yeah, we'll recaut the game. 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the today for Carlos, for Odan serving 33 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: up those meatballs. We're gonna compare the statcast numbers between 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: Ben Rice and last year's John Carlos Stanton, and then 35 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna preview the Kansas City Royals. But the Yankees 36 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: lose two out of three to the San Francisco Giants. 37 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: Off to a good start but couldn't finish it off. 38 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going, all right. 39 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: So Yankees did jump out front early. Judge smoked one 40 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen point eight off the bat hit the 41 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: center field wall launch angle was not high enough. If 42 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: the launch angle was higher, that ball would have been 43 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: on the restaurant. That's baseball. Susan bloop single by Goldman. 44 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was a good piece of hitting. And 45 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: then another run in the second ending courtesy of our 46 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: young hitters. Opposite field double by Jason Dominguez. He's got 47 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: four doubles on the year. He was one for three today, 48 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: and then j c Escar ripped a line drive double 49 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: into the corner. I really like Iscara's swing. I haven't 50 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: figured out who he reminds me of yet, but it's somebody. 51 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: He's got such a distinctive follow through that open stance. 52 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: The closest thing I could get was Larry Walker, but 53 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: that's not quite right because Walker a lot of times 54 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: would finish with two hands. But I'm gonna put my 55 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: finger on it and I'll find it. But he reminds 56 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: me of somebody, and when I do find it will 57 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: break down the comparison. Maybe Ben Rice followed up with 58 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: an RBI single. He continues to play well. He was 59 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: just one for five today, but he still got an 60 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: ops over one thousand, and then Jung Houlee put the 61 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: Giants on the board in the fourth inning with his 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: second home run of the series and second home run 63 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: against the Yankee. Second home run of the season and 64 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: both of them in this series against the Yankees. And 65 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: then he gave him the lead with a three run 66 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: shot later in the game. So I remember when he 67 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: was a free agent and there was a lot of 68 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: talk about whether or not he would be a fit 69 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: for the Yankees, whether or not his swing would play 70 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: to Major League Baseball, whether or not he would be 71 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: a fit for Yankee stadium. Doesn't have a lot of power, 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: we said, well, three home runs in this series seems 73 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: made for the short porch and so far on the 74 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: season hitting three point fifty two with a one point 75 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: one to three zero. Now, ops, I like the outfield 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: we ended up with Judge Bellinger and Dominguez, but man, 77 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: that guy can hit. Just poor pitch selection and execution 78 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: from Rodin again looking much more like the twenty twenty 79 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: three version of Rodin than the twenty twenty four version 80 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: that was pretty good. Giants got another one on a 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: ball that got by Goldschmidt charged as an error, but 82 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: usually he makes that play. Usually he gets in front 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: of it. Ended up being a big play. Jazz Chisholm 84 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: went deep that would have been a game tying home run, 85 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: finally broke out of an zero for twenty four slump, 86 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: but still hitting just one sixty nine on the season. 87 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: I do feel like he's a better hitter than that, 88 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: so I have to imagine there's a hot streak coming 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: and he'll maybe warm up with the weather. But good 90 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: to see him put win in the seats today. But 91 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: the Yankees came up short. Tim Hill good in the eighth, 92 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: Good in the ninth, but the Yankees could not scratch 93 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: a run across some hard hit balls late in the 94 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: game that died out there in center field, and they 95 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: fall to eight and seven on the season. Now the 96 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: standings will show that eight and seven, we're still in 97 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: a tie for first place and still I mean, you know, 98 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: on pace for roughly ninety wins, which is about what 99 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: we'd imagine this team will be. And the Yankees will 100 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: be taking on the Royals who won today. It looks 101 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: like when I preview them later it'll have the record 102 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: prior to today's game, because that's when I had to 103 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: build out the graphic. But they will take on the 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: Royals this week fourth, and we don't have John Carlow 105 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: to save us. He is going to be out D's 106 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: channel with the super Chat says, we have tough schedules 107 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: for the next month or so. I'm scared to look 108 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: at the standings a month from now. Hey, Look, the 109 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: only way to be on top of the standings is 110 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: to win those games. You gotta beat the tough teams. 111 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: Kansas City Good Ball Club, Bobby Witch Jr. We're not 112 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: facing him worn out like we were in the playoffs. 113 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: He's heating up. Then we got Tampa Bay, but that's 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: a launching pad down there at George jam Steineburner Field, 115 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: and the Yankees are used to playing there, so hopefully 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: they'll hit some home runs. It'll be some exciting baseball. 117 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: And then they play Cleveland on the road, and Cleveland 118 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: is very good. They're eight and seven so far, still 119 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: have a good bullpen. And then they have a day 120 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: off on the twenty fourth, and then they face Toronto 121 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: back at home for three just a quick three game 122 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: homestand before they go back to Baltimore. And then they 123 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: take on Tampa Bay at home and San Diego at 124 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: home to begin May. And then things get a little 125 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: bit easier. You got the Athletics and the Mariners, but 126 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: those that's a West coast trip. I hate West coast trips. 127 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: I hate doing shows at one in the morning and 128 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: then the series. We're all looking forward to Mets at home, 129 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: three game set, the return of Juan Soto to Yankee Stadium. 130 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: Let's talk about mister Meatball, who I believe I was 131 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: talking about it when someone said that I didn't have sound. 132 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: But one hundred pitches today, sixty two strikes. So he 133 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: gave us, you know, a decent effort five and two thirds, 134 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: three hits, four runs, four urn runs, three walks, and 135 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: eight strikeouts. He looked good. He took a no hitter 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: into the fourth inning before Lee broke it up with 137 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: the home run, and then once again he couldn't get 138 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: through the sixth inning, put a couple of runners on. 139 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: And this was something I was going to talk about 140 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: before I was so rudely distracted with fake news about 141 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: my sound. Is that the broadcast was saying that, you know, 142 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: he only regretted a couple of pitches, he only regrets 143 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: two pitches. Well, what about the three walks? What about 144 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: the walk in front of the home run? You can't 145 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: disregard earned runs. He's allowed the most home runs in 146 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: the major leagues over the past three years, and a 147 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: lot of it is just hanging breaking balls, careless mistakes, 148 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: fastballs right down the plate that are straight as an arrow. 149 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: He has kind of like that glabor torres symptom or 150 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: syndrome where he doesn't really focus in the toughest of spots. Right. 151 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: He has a lot of emotion, and you know he's 152 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: got good stuff, but the focus just isn't always there. 153 00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: We've got to call about him. 154 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 2: Spike from New Jersey, I'm starting to get really, really 155 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 2: sick of Carlos Hoddan. His pitch town should not be 156 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 2: one hundred pitches, it should be eighty pitches. I called 157 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: in last week. I said, you know this guy, he 158 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: starts to suck around eighty pitches, and I thought you 159 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: made a reel in my call, and some people were saying, no, 160 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 2: he doesn't, it's not true. Well, look what happened today. 161 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: As soon as he got to eighty pitches, started walking 162 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: guys bang, So we run home run, the stars wasted 163 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: goes to trash. He just needs to be held to 164 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: a way tighter lease. He's not an ace that's not 165 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: who he is. He's an all out velocity slider guy. 166 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: And then he starts to suck. 167 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: He just doesn't have the stamina. Yeah, I really, I 168 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: honestly thought about that call, and I'm glad you called 169 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: back in because we made a video about that. Earlier 170 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: in the season, Spike had called in. It might have 171 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 1: been after opening day, maybe his second start, and he 172 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: mentioned that, you know, why does Rodin get so tired? 173 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: And I said, well, he's a max effort guy and 174 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: it's just stamina. And today again, after eighty pitches, he 175 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: wore out. It is a fucking surprise, and once again 176 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: home runs were the waterloo. Time to stop throwing these bars. 177 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Five point four to eighty ra on the season for Rodin. 178 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: By the way, all right, let's talk about Ben Rice 179 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: and John Carlos Stanton. Obviously another RBI single today for 180 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: Ben Rice. And you know, you can't move Rice to 181 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: first base when Stanton comes back because Goldie has been 182 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: good and John Carlo gets paid twenty seven million dollars, 183 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: so the Yankees are gonna want to play him. But 184 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: you can't send Ben Rice back down either because he's 185 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: been so good, assuming that he maintains his production levels. Now, 186 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: if he falls off, it makes the decision easy. But 187 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: if he keeps hitting, the Yankees are gonna face a 188 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: real dilemma. I wanted to pull up Stanton versus Rice 189 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: on stat Cast, and you see that Ben Rice basically 190 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: is at the top of the league in almost every 191 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:14,959 Speaker 1: metric expected batting average, average, exit velocity, even better than Stanton. 192 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: You know, when you think about John Carlo Stanton, you 193 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: think of the things that he does exceptionally well, the 194 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: exit velocity, of the bat speed, all of this stuff. 195 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: He's always been a stat cast darling. And we know 196 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: that the Yankees put a lot of emphasis and weight 197 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: on a guy's metrics. But Ben Rice has been better 198 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: in pretty much every metric. He's doing for the DH 199 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: spot what Luis Heel did for Garrett Cole's spot last 200 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: year when Garrett Cole went down. You can argue that 201 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: the production that Rice has given us so far could 202 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: be better than what John Carlo would have given us 203 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: to this point. Certainly, the batting average, the on base percentage. 204 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: Stanton is not a three hundred. He's a two thirty 205 00:11:55,679 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: hitter at this point. Rice is not strong with wrikeouts, 206 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: but John Carlo is noticeably worse, and Ben Rice walks 207 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: more than Stanton. And what's interesting is Ben Rice also 208 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: does it against both lefties and righty's, whereas John Carlo 209 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: is much better versus lefties. So what does that mean? 210 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: What does that mean when Stanton comes back? Goldsmith's the 211 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: first basement. You can't move Rice? 212 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: There? 213 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: Would the Yankees possibly go with a platoon at the 214 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: DH spot where Stanton plays against lefties and Rice plays 215 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: against righty's. Will the salaries factor into things? Because Stanton 216 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: makes like twenty seven million, Rice makes less than a million. 217 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: I think he makes the league minimum. I don't know 218 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: if the Yankees care about that as much as they 219 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: care about production. But there's this old adage in baseball 220 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: that you can't lose your job because of an injury. 221 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: And Stanton was amazing for us in the playoffs and 222 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: won the ALCS MVP at seven home runs. It's an 223 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: interesting scenario, and obviously we have to let things unfold, right, 224 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: I mean, and Rice could go one for fifty, But 225 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: judging by what we're seeing from the metrics, this isn't luck. 226 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: He's not lucky. He is excelling. He is raking Adam 227 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: Lamperolla says we're better without Stanton, But I mean the 228 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: guy carried us in the postseason, and this team struggles 229 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: against lefties and he is absolutely a murderer against lefties. 230 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: He is a beast against left handed pitching. The Yankees 231 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: need him. Yankees for the win, says Boone is saying 232 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: that Rodin was excellent with a critical mistake. I'm gonna 233 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: disc I thought his stuff was excellent, but you can't 234 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: be walking guys and giving up home runs and have 235 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: it be an excellent start. You have to look at 236 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: the start in totality. And I hate to go back 237 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: to something we've already talked about, but that's the thing 238 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: about pitchers. You have to take the whole game into 239 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: account because one pitch can sink it. It's like the 240 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: Titanic was great except for that one thing with the iceberg. 241 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: Right. 242 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: JFK's parade through Dallas was great, phenomenal except for one 243 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: little thing other than that, Missus Lincoln, how is the play? 244 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the series? So I had that Jazz 245 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: is lost right now, and I wrote that before the 246 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: home run. I didn't delete it because I still think, 247 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's not really having great swing, So I'll 248 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: leave that up there as a takeaway from the series. 249 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: Goldie had a good series in terms of the hits. 250 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: Rice continues to be on fire. Will Warren picked up 251 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: a dub first in the big leagues, but Marcus Stroman 252 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: absolutely sucked and went on the il. And of course 253 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: Carlos rode on tough day today. Martian maybe heating back up. 254 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: He had a double and he had a big bass 255 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: hit yesterday with a couple of Ribby's. We used to 256 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: see what he does against Seth Lugo tomorrow. Seth Lugo 257 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: is a guy who had dominated the Yankees during the 258 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: regular season last year. I believe they played okay against 259 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: him in the playoffs. I don't remember his specific numbers, 260 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: but I just do remember it being better than what 261 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: happened during the regular season. So that is not gonna 262 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: be an easy matchup. Let's talk about that series coming 263 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: up with the Kansas City Royals. They were seven and 264 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: eight entering today. They are now eight and eight. I'll 265 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: go ahead and fix that just for the benefit of 266 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: the people who are watching a podcast with the SoundOff. Lugo, 267 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: Wake and Bubick are the pitchers this series. Bubick has 268 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: gotten off to a great start zero point eight four 269 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: ERA in close and late situations, so they get it 270 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: done when it counts, and they have held opponents won 271 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: two three hitters to a one eighty six average, which 272 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: is third in Major League Baseball. So not gonna be 273 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: an easy matchup. This is a playoff team. This is 274 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: a team that could have beaten the Yankees last year 275 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs if not for some heroics by John 276 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton. So we'll see over the next three days. 277 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Yankees do have the home field advantage, but they just 278 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: lost two out of three at home to the Giants. 279 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: All right, so let's go ahead and get a quick 280 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: word from our sponsor today, which is Hungry Root, and 281 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: then we'll be back with your takes and one or 282 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: two voicemails.

Normally I hate 307 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: the ads other than I like getting paid for them. 308 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: But we got the Harry's Razor ad, which is the 309 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: reason I had to shave my face. We're gonna run 310 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: that a bunch this week as they are sponsoring pretty 311 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: much the entire week. We're gonna do a lot of 312 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: voicemail shows this week. I believe we have nine shows 313 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: scheduled this week, So keep those voicemails coming. And we 314 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 1: got a call from Marybeth here midgame, put her on 315 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: the air here. 316 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 4: Hey, jerk bet here. He just gave up Rodn just 317 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 4: gave up the home runs. So we're down four three. 318 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: I think Aaron's coming out to take him out. And 319 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 4: I mentioned the other day emotions rule. That's the bottom line. 320 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: I mean, that's the bottom line. And Rodn has the stuff, 321 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 4: but when stuff happens, he becomes emotionally uneven. He's cut 322 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: down on his little temper tantrums and he has improved. 323 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 4: And I don't always worry when he comes to the mound, 324 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 4: but this today is another example of going along, going along. 325 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 4: He always has the stuff, but his emotions he gets 326 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 4: he gets tricky, and to get angry that this is 327 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 4: all emotions, And I know it sounds there we go, 328 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 4: you got you gotta go and get your emotions. So 329 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 4: because that's yep. 330 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Got to get the emotions in control. I agree. He's 331 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: got to get his focus better too. I feel like 332 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: he loses focus in those big spots. Paul O'Neil brought 333 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: up some great points that he was going to his 334 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: third and fourth pitches against Jung Hulee. Now, I get 335 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: the Lee is a good hitter, but you got to 336 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: challenge him with your best stuff late in the game. 337 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: Do you really expect your breaking ball on your hundredth 338 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: pitch or whatever to be as sharp as it was 339 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: early in the game. No, your arm is tired, it 340 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: slows down. You lose that arm speed, you lose that 341 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: snap of the breaking ball. That's why so many pitchers 342 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: hang breaking balls later in the game. If I'm road 343 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: on there, I'm going fastballs. I'm going fastballs in. He's 344 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: got a big loopy swing. I'm going fastballs in and 345 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: trying to jam him there and get a ground out 346 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: to second base. If he turns on your ninety eight 347 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: mile an hour fastball, so be it. Give him credit. 348 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: But you can't hang a slider there, and you can't 349 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: be walking people that just it infuriates me when someone 350 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: defends a pitcher's day by saying, oh, he only gave 351 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: up what one or two big hits or one or 352 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: two home runs, so he had a good day. No, 353 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: you give up a home run with two guys on base, 354 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: those guys getting on base, you can't let that happen. 355 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 1: And if it does happen, you gotta buckle down. It's mentality. 356 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the right mentality anyway. Stephanie mccallisters his 357 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: Bum of the day, no contest. We didn't do a 358 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: bum of the day today, but you know, maybe we'll 359 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: consider it for tomorrow Bum in the morning if I'm 360 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: still in a bad mood. But anyway, Bobby says Jazz 361 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: needs an adderall Rodan needs a xanax. 362 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: I like that. 363 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: Anyway, It's been a tough series obviously, lost two out 364 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 1: of three, but the Giants are a good team. I 365 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: think they were probably the favorites to win two out 366 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: of three. Yankee should win two out of three versus 367 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Royals. Were getting Clark Schmidt back on Wednesday. 368 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: That'll be nice. That'll be must watch baseball. We got 369 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Max free going on Tuesday, and he was fantastic last 370 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: time out. It'd be interesting to see what the hangover 371 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: on that is like. And now he threw I believe 372 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: ninety seven pitches last time, but it was cold weather. 373 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: He had to exert a lot of stress. Wouldn't shock 374 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: me if he takes a little bit of a step back. 375 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't expect him to be quite as dominant, but 376 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: I do think he'll be tough on the Royals. 377 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: The one that. 378 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: Concerns me is Monday Carrasco versus Seth Lugos. Seth Lugo's 379 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: always tough on us, and Carrasco like Carlos rodin a 380 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: goddamn meatball factory.
