1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: All right, the jip defeat. It is April first, and

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: the Arizona Diamondbacks were in the Bronx Corbin Burns making

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 1: his d Backs debut and trying to shut down a

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: red hot Yankees lineup. We'll see how it shook out.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe territory.

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Whim to talk. That's all well, it was bound to

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: happen at some point. The Yankees are undefeated, no more.

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: First loss of the season, first night game of the season.

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: At least we're back on our regular routine. Man. Unfortunately,

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: Tim Hill and Mark Lighter Junior imploded and flushed a

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: four to two Yankees lead in the eighth inning. Grand

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Slam for Eugenio Suarez, who has five home runs and

13
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: eleven RBIs right now. Andrew Calabria keeping it bright, he says,

14
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: on the bright, one hundred and sixty one and one

15
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: is still possible. First home run for the Martian tonight

16
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,559
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium since his unbelievable start in twenty twenty three.

17
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: I had him lined up to be our Belt winner,

18
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: but unfortunately it was not meant to be. Ben Rice

19
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: hitting a home run was my no Stra Derek prediction.

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: That is pretty much the only thing that went right

21
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: that is destiny fulfilled. It feels weird to play the

22
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: happy music after a tough loss, but we did. No

23
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: Stra Derek is two four to two. Anyway, I was

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to tonight's game in a big way because

25
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: the Yankees offense just absolutely destroyed the Brewers. But the

26
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Brewers got destroyed when they left town also, so I

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: was wondering what would happen when they faced a good

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: pitcher in Corbyn Burns, a good pitching staff in the Diamondback,

29
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought they held their own. You know,

30
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: Corbyn Burns, he was obviously focused, he was dealing. They

31
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: got some help from Josh Naylor, who made an error

32
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: allowed two runs to score, but unfortunately the bullpen flushed it.

33
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: Speaking of the bullpen, though, if you turned on the

34
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: game late and you saw that Adam Ottavino was pitching,

35
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: you might have thought that you slipped through a time portal.

36
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: But the Yankees picked him up before the game. Devin

37
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: Williams having a baby, actually his wife's having a baby,

38
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: but he's on the paternity list, and Ottavino had a

39
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: tough spring with the Red Sox, but obviously the Yankees

40
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: are familiar with him. They needed somebody who can be

41
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 1: kind of, you know, let go on a moment's notice,

42
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that Ottavino was more than willing to

43
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: do it. They transferred JT. Bruce Baker to the IL

44
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: to make room. I hope we see him at some point.

45
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: He was one of those projects that the Yankees picked

46
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: up with good stuff stuff, but just has not been

47
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: able to get it together health wise. And then we

48
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: had some news about mister Clark Schmidt, who pitched three

49
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: innings in a simulated game in Tampa yesterday. You may

50
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: remember that the big issue with him was that he

51
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: wasn't bouncing back after his outings this spring. That can

52
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: be troublesome. That can be troublesome. But he's been coming

53
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: back the last couple of outings, his last couple of

54
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 1: sim games fine, and so they're anticipating that he could

55
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: be back mid April. He's gonna throw again on Saturday.

56
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: That will be a big get. But I thought Warren

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: threw the ball well tonight. Him and Carrasco are going

58
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: to be competing to stay in the rotation when Clark

59
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Schmidt returns. So let's get to the recap of a

60
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: tough night for the Yankees. Both starting pitchers were throwing

61
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball well early man. I mean, Corbyn Burns came

62
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: out on fire. I think he struck out for the

63
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: first six hitters. You know, we'll talk more about Will

64
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: Warren when we get to the pitcher spotlight portion of

65
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: the show. But you know, he had two really good

66
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: innings before he gave up a two run home run.

67
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: I thought he settled back in though, you know, he bent,

68
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: but he didn't break. Last year he would break. Jason

69
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: Dominguez made a nice play in left field early on,

70
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: kind of a sinking line drive and he was able

71
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: to track it down. Paul O'Neal had a good point,

72
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe getting his confidence going a little bit,

73
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: had a good night at the plate bottom three couple

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: of very good at bats by our young guys. First

75
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: we had the home run by Dominges, and then we

76
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: had an eleven one hundred and eleven mile an hour

77
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: exit velocity double by Ben Rice, who continues to smoke

78
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the baseball. And I'll talk more about him in a

79
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: little bit. I got a whole segment on him a

80
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: nice four to six to three double play turned by

81
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: Jazz and Volpie in the fourth, but Volpi making people

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: forget about that real fast. Very next inning he smacked

83
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: a four hundred and eighteen foot home run, seventeenth home

84
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: run for the Yankees in four games, most in the

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: history of baseball through the first four games. We'll talk

86
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: more about Volpi in a minute too. The young guys

87
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: are swinging the bat very well, and Volpey, whatever adjustments

88
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: he's made, whether it's the torpedo bat or the swing adjustments,

89
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: they're working for him so far because he is hitting

90
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the ball very hard and you're starting to look at

91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: you know, if his power comes around. We already know

92
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: he can steal thirty bases. Did it last year? You know?

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: If he becomes a thirty home run guy, I mean

94
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: he hit twenty one as a rookie, he's off to

95
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: a much better pace. If he becomes a thirty to

96
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: thirty guy, you start talking about a multi hundred million

97
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: dollar contract at some point. Yep, not from the Yankees,

98
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: from somebody else. Austin Wells I thought had good at

99
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: bats tonight. He had a really tremendous bat against Corbyn

100
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Burns in the fourth inning, just a pro at bat

101
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: drew a walk. Huge error by Josh Naylor in the

102
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: fourth inning ground ball the first base should have ended

103
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: the inning, but he air balled it to first base,

104
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: got by Corbyn Burns llowed two runs to score, gave

105
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: the Yankees the lead. I will say this about Josh Naylor.

106
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: He has a very unsettling face and a weird body.

107
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: But the Yankees led four to at that point, and

108
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: then Fernando Cruz looked unbelievable. He came in. His splitter

109
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: was the best I've seen it. D Backs had no

110
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: chance with it last year. And this is a note

111
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: from Aiden, our social media guy. His splitter averaged three

112
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: point one inches of induced vertical break, and tonight it

113
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: averaged seven inches and maxed out at thirteen. That right

114
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: there is sick, absolutely disgusting. Obviously, though Mark Leer and

115
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Tim Hill are going to be the story. They imploded

116
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: and allowed five earned runs and got just two outs,

117
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: and then the Yankees had no shot against Justin Martinez

118
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: out of the d Backs bullpen, just complete gas one

119
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: hundred and one miles an hour with ride and then

120
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: bottom nine with two outs. Ben Rice with an absolute

121
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: rocket into the second deck for his second home run

122
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: of the season and the Yankees' eighteenth home run so

123
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: far this year. So we got a couple of super chats. Unfortunately,

124
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: though the Yankees lose. Peter Van Dusen says the Grand

125
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: Slam was absolutely brutal. I wanted to keep the streak

126
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a bit longer. Is it just me or does anyone

127
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: else get stressed with Lighter on the mount? You know,

128
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Lighter had been throwing the ball pretty well this spring.

129
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: It actually started. He was left off the playoff roster

130
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: last year and then he had to get at it.

131
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I believe it was after Hamilton got hurt, and I

132
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: thought he threw the ball really, really well, got some

133
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: big outs in the postseason, and then he looked good

134
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: in spring, and you know, tonight just a rough night,

135
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: tough night. Tim Hill also had a tough night. Aaron Sheen,

136
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: new member, says, this is Vopi's breakout season. I hope, so, man,

137
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: I hope. So we'll talk more about him in a second.

138
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: First we got to talk about Adam Warren, who was

139
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: outing deserves more than he got. You know, like I said,

140
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: he bent, but he didn't break last year. Every time

141
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: he got into trouble, he would unwind and you know,

142
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: just let the floodgates open. I noticed right away last

143
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: year when he got called up, his mechanics were very

144
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: similar to Michael King, but he didn't pitch like Michael King. Tonight.

145
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: I thought his repertoire looked much more Michael King liked

146
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: before Michael King became Michael King, if that makes sense.

147
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: We saw like an early like version one dot ZH

148
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: version of Michael King tonight. You know, he was throwing

149
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the sink or more. He was getting strikeouts. He had

150
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: four strikeouts, and in his career he's got more strikeouts

151
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: and innings pitch thirty three and twenty seven and two

152
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: thirds innings. But he was getting a lot of sink

153
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: on that ninety three mile and hour fastball, touching ninety four.

154
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: He had ten whiffs, forty six strikes, had eighty five pitches.

155
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: You'd liked a little bit more command, But you know,

156
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: for a guy still hunting for his first major league win,

157
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: I thought he showed some guts against a really good team.

158
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, he obviously had two really good innings. You know,

159
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: third inning, got a couple of quick outs and then

160
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: a walk and a two run home run, and I

161
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: started thinking, didn't he have problems in the stretch last year?

162
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: And then fourth inning he walks the first two hitters,

163
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: and you could sense that it was about to implode,

164
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: but to his credit, he was able to get through it.

165
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: He got a double playball and then he got a

166
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: nice easy ground out to Volpie to work his way

167
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: out of the inning. And then fifth inning he had

168
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: a runner in scoring position and got out of it

169
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: with a big strikeout to finish off his night. He

170
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: went five innings, just one hit, allowed the home run,

171
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: two runs, four walks, four strikeouts. Now the walks are

172
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: too many, but you know, ten swings and misses, five innings,

173
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: one hit, two runs. You'll take that every single time

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: from Will Warren, who I almost called Adam Warning. I'll

175
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: probably call him Adam Wore nine hundred times this year.

176
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: He keeps pitching. All right, Let's talk about Ben Rice.

177
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: Before the season, we talked about this thing called mission improvement. Right,

178
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: it was in order for this team to get where

179
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: it wants to be, some guys had to take some

180
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: steps forward. And one of those guys who has taken

181
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: step forward was not on my list, and that is

182
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: Ben Rice. You know, I had Volpi Wells, Oswaldo Cabrera

183
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: and Jason Dominguez. I didn't think Ben Rice was gonna

184
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: be on the roster because at that point John Carlo

185
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: was still healthy. But then John Carlo goes down with

186
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: the double elbow injuries, and now Ben Rice has stepped

187
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: up and is showing clear improvement, which makes you wonder

188
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: if he keeps hitting like this, what are they going

189
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to do when John Carlo comes back. You might have

190
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: a platoon situation where John Carlo plays against lefties, Ben

191
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: Rice plays against Rice. Because Ben Rice is creaming the

192
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: baseball double and a home run tonight. He was the

193
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: exit velocity leader in the Grapefruit League and spring training,

194
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: and so far when he connects this year, he is

195
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: absolutely crushing the baseball one hundred and eleven mile double,

196
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: one hundred and seven point eight mile an hour home run.

197
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: They say that Lou Garrig used to hit the ball

198
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: by outfielders like they were infielders, and I see that

199
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: from Ben Rice. Occasionally he absolutely smokes the baseball. And

200
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: again this is just the eye test, This is just

201
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: my opinion, and I am a mere podcaster, as I

202
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: just took a text on my screen a little bit.

203
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: It was bothering me. It was out of alignment. But

204
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: just as the eye test, his swing looks like it's

205
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: closed a down and in hole that he had last year.

206
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: Last year, you could beat him with anything that was

207
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: diving down in. This year, he's getting to that pitch

208
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: and he's crushing it. He's dropping the bat, heead on it.

209
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: So positive sign from ben Rice, even though he lost.

210
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi also off to a very very good start,

211
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: three home runs already. Last year, he hit his third

212
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: home run in the twenty ninth game, didn't hit his

213
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: fourth home run until May seventh, way ahead of that pace.

214
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Now he does have power. He hit twenty one home

215
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: runs as a but I don't like to think of

216
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: him as a power hitter, and I hope he doesn't

217
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: get in his mind that he's a power hitter. But

218
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: if he runs into more home runs, that's a good thing.

219
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: I still want him to, you know, hit for a

220
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: good average. I want him to get on base a lot.

221
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: So far this season his ops is one point two eight,

222
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: but he's got a one eighty eight average, So when

223
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: he's hitting, he's doing damage, right you know, same with

224
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: Wells hitting one fifty four, but he's got a couple

225
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: of home runs nine twenty eight ops, but you know

226
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: the powers there. You could see a thirty to thirty

227
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: season for him, the torpedo bat obviously working to create

228
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: more power. You wonder if the Yankees would take it

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: if he remains like a low two hundred hitter, but

230
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:51,119
Speaker 1: you know, starts hitting for more power. Be interested, Edward Malware.

231
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: Malware says DFA lighter. Now, you're not gonna DFA the

232
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: guy this soon. End of the season coming now when

233
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: they just picked up outa vino. If you're picking up

234
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: out of you know you're not in a position to

235
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: be DFA and anybody. The Martian had a very good

236
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: night tonight, first home run, another base hit off Corbyn.

237
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 1: Burns looked solid in the outfield. I think it's important

238
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: for his confidence that he gets off to a good start.

239
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: There's a ton of pressure on him to be good.

240
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: I mean people have been hyping him forever, myself included,

241
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: but you know number one signee, people saying that he

242
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: was the best international prospect they had seen ever at

243
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: his age. And so far what we're seeing, you know,

244
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: having watched him all spring training and now through the

245
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: first you know week, first four games of the twenty

246
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: twenty five season. He has looked a little bit shaky left,

247
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: but he hasn't had disaster yet. I think the left

248
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: handed swing will play, especially at Yankee Stadium. He's already

249
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: found the right field seats above That little scoreboard used

250
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: to be the auxiliary scoreboard. Now it's like an led board.

251
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: Several times since being called up in twenty two three.

252
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's a great base runner. I see him

253
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: always in the middle of the action when people are

254
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: on basis. You just hear about him crossing the plate

255
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot. He's scored two more runs tonight and from

256
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: the right side. He hasn't shown me a lot as

257
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: a hitter, but he does have a lot of patience.

258
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about that he sees pitches if he hits

259
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: for a low average, but he still gets on base

260
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: and maybe occasionally runs into the home run here or there.

261
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: You'll take that from the right side. But what we've

262
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: seen from him is a tremendous athlete. He runs well,

263
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: he runs hard, he's a good kid. He's obviously working hard.

264
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: The defense looks better he's not one hundred percent ready

265
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: yet and left, but he's getting there. So a lot

266
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: of optimistic things here despite tough loss tonight. All right,

267

317
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: Williams baby caused this loss. If he's here, then Weaver

318
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: pitches the ninth. You're absolutely correct. Blame it on the baby.

319
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: Is that the baby in the in the picture? No U,

320
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, I you know, I wish we had Weaver tonight.

321
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: Obviously they were saving him to close out the game,

322
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: but you got to get there. Ottavino, by the way,

323
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: did get two outs. He had a walk in a

324
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: strikeout is Era on the season zero point zero zero,

325
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: but Lighters is up to eleven point five to seven.

326
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: Glad to see he is in mid season form. And

327
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: Tim Hill at seven point seven to one. I'm not

328
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna try and pronounce this one says they need to

329
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: stop pulling Domingos late in the game. Let him fen play. Well,

330
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: they're just switching to run prevention, trying to, you know,

331
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: keep him from you know, dropping a ball in a

332
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,239
Speaker 1: big spot and getting crushed by the media and the

333
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: fans and so forth. But you know, it would be

334
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: nice to see him improve a little bit out there,

335
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: and you can only improve by playing and playing in

336
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: big pressure situations. Will Curry says Rice is nice. Rice

337
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: has been terrific. Is the reason I spotlighted him tonight.

338
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, the way he is crushing the

339
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: baseball is very encouraging. Right now. He looks like a

340
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: twenty plus home run guy. I don't know if he's

341
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: going to be a high average guy. I mean, right

342
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: now he's hitting five hundred. I guess that's pretty high.

343
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: We have to see a larger sample size. Last year

344
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: he hit won seventy nine, but he was supposed to

345
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: hit two thirty five. He was unlucky. You know this

346
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: year I mentioned if you get lucky in the other direction,

347
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: you're a three hundred hitter. But I think if it's

348
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: two fifty with some decent power, I think you take

349
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: it out of the DH spot filling in. I don't

350
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: know what they're going to get out of Stanton. He

351
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: did say when he comes back, he's going to use

352
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: the torpedo bat. You wonder if the torpedo bat. I

353
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: mentioned this the other day. You wonder if the torpedo

354
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: bat is what caused the elbow injuries. And now he's

355
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: got a face a crossroads. Does he go back to

356
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: something that doesn't work or does he can go with

357
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: something that might have contributed to an injury. He doesn't

358
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: think it contributed to an injury, but he did say

359
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: initially that it was because of bat adjustments, whatever that means.

360
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: So I assume it means he was, you know, working

361
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: with the torpedo bat. But you know, this is a

362
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: guy who already hit fricking torpedoes. Can you imagine what

363
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna do with the torpedo bat. We'll see. Super

364
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: V says, why does Boone overmanage and throw away every game. Look,

365
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean his hands were kind of tied tonight. I mean,

366
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: you don't expect Lighter to melt down as bad as

367
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: he did. You know, David Cone always used to talk

368
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: about how if you're gonna throw a breaking pitch, you

369
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: want the next guy to come in to have a

370
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: better breaking pitch. They might have gone out of order, right,

371
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you go to Lighter first and then Cruz next,

372
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: because Cruz's stuff is so much nasty, nasty year. But

373
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: we didn't know that Cruise was gonna be as filthy

374
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 1: as he was tonight. So it's it's all. You know,

375
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: those are the decisions that a manager's got to make,

376
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: and obviously didn't work out tonight. But Yankee still three

377
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 1: to one, and they're facing an uphill battle to win

378
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: this series because they've got Carlos Carrasco going in Game

379
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: three and the d Backs are throwing three pretty good

380
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: pictures out there. We got bearded Carlos Rodin on the

381
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: mound tomorrow, and you know, he looked like a serial

382
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: killer his last time out, So let's hope that he's

383
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: able to, you know, have another good outing again. Tune

384
