1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: In this episode, spring has sprung and I'm ready to 2 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: believe the Martian hype again. Plus, John Carlos Stanton's tendons 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: are giving him problems. Who could step in at the 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: DH position. Also, we'll talk to Katie wo about a 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: potential Brendan Donovan trade and we'll take your voicemails. 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 2: All that and more. Next on Pinstripe Territory. 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 3: He wanted to pull caps al. 8 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: And just like that, I'm magically wearing a different shirt. 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. 10 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 4: Hey. 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: Quick reminder, you can get Pinstripe Territory on the go. 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: Listen to us on your commute if you can't catch 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: all the episodes this year on YouTube. We're on every 14 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: podcast platform now as part of the Foul Territory Network, 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: So go ahead and get that and give us five stars. 16 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: There's a few things I want to talk about tonight. 17 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: John Carlos Stanton might not be ready for opening day. 18 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: We had Will Carroll on Foul Territory today and he 19 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: kind of talked about a potential John Carlos Stanton diagnoses 20 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: other than tennis elbow, which made a lot more sense 21 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: to me. But first we have got to talk about 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: my main man, Jason Dominguez, the Martian who I am 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: hyped about again because it's, you know, finally that time. 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: It's finally his time. We've been watching him for years 25 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 1: and yesterday we had one of the rights of spring 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: training and you're seeing it on your screen there if 27 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: you're watching it on YouTube live VP Pitchers versus Yankees hitters, 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,279 Speaker 1: and we saw Dominguez hit a mammoth mammoth home run 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: off of Carlos Rodin. But what was interesting was that 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: it was from the right side of the plate. It 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: was a high fastball. Kind of reminded me of that 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: first home run that we saw him hit as a professional. 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I know some of you remember this to people who've 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: been following along since they signed him. Initially, there was 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: this video that went viral on YouTube where you know, 36 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: he had just signed. He was a kid and it 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: was a rainy day in Florida and he hit a 38 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: home run that kind of disappeared into these trees. That's 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: what yesterday's home run reminded me of a little bit. 40 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: Kind of gave us that first glimpse of the five 41 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: point one million dollar prospect and now giving us the 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: first glimpse of what could be a very special season, 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: and it kind of made me think about when Aaron 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: Judge burst on the scene in twenty seventeen. It all 45 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: really began with a big home run that hit the 46 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: scoreboard in spring training. You're like, Wow, he'd hit the 47 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: hell out of that, and he had made some tweaks, 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: and he went from being just a really bad hitter 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen who struck out a ton to being 50 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year and probably should have been MVP 51 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: that year. But anyway, Bellinger also went deep off of 52 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin, who is obviously already in mid season form. 53 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: I kid Carlos Rodan. I kid Carlos Rodan. 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: But this time of year it is mostly fastballs. A 55 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: lot of pitchers aren't even mixing in breaking pitches, are 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: trying to fool hitters. They're just working on building up 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: arm strength, and the way they do that is by 58 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 1: throwing fastballs. They're not even thinking about location all that much, 59 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: to be honest, So if it's right down the middle, 60 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: so be it. 61 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 2: But still you got to hit it out of the ballpark. 62 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: So you know, it is kind of cool to see 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: him doing some damage already, but don't read too much 64 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: into it. It does seem like his swing from the 65 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: right side of the plate is coming together. It looked 66 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: really good to me, and I suspect that from the 67 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: right side anyway, he is going to be a high 68 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: ball hitter. If you go back and look at his 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: first spring training with the Yankees where he hits some 70 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: home runs from the right side, a lot of them 71 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: are on high pitches, and you know, you go back 72 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: to that futures game home run that he hit from 73 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: the right side at Dodgers Stadium, it was a high fastball. 74 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: It wasn't like top of the zone, but it was 75 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: in the upper part of the zone, so definitely elevate it. 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: And what's interesting is if you watch him from the 77 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: left side of the plate, it seems like he handles 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 1: the ball down very well and he likes to lay 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: off the stuff up top. So two different approaches from 80 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: two different sides of the plate. That's a good thing 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: in my opinion. And also it's a good thing that 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: you know he hits that high pitch because a lot 83 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: of pitchers these days are trying to get hitters out 84 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: on the high fastball, So you know, it really doesn't 85 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: require a big miss, you know, a little bit up 86 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: or a little bit down to be right in Jason's wheelhouse, 87 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: and he might be able to do some damage. But 88 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: I think about that home run he hit in Seattle. 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: That was such an impressive home run. It was a 90 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: sinker or maybe a change up low and away, and 91 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: he took it to dead center field, absolutely clobbered it. 92 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: We know he can hit the heater, We've seen him 93 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: hit the breaking ball. I'm really looking forward to seeing 94 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: how this rookie season finally plays out. I find his 95 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: story to be so much fun. He got all this 96 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: hype as a sixteen year old. They were comparing him 97 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: to Mike Trout and Mickey Mantle, and then he makes 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: the big leagues at twenty years old. He does things 99 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: that not even Trout or Mantle did. 100 00:04:59,200 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: When they were rookies. 101 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: Four home runs in his first seven games. The Tommy 102 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: John surgery obviously set him back, but as spring gets 103 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: closer and closer, I'm allowing myself to believe the hype again. 104 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: This might be one of the situations where I'm believing 105 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: it because I want it to be true, right, I mean, 106 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, wishful thinking maybe, but kind of like 107 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: when you will you buy a scratch off ticket and 108 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I feel it in my bones, this 109 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: is the one and it's usually not. But I'm allowing 110 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: myself to be a fan on Domingez. I really want 111 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: to root for this kid. I really want to watch 112 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: this kid succeed, and I'm gonna be pulling for him 113 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: hard on this channel. So if you're not a Dominguez fan, 114 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you know we're gonna be on the 115 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: hype train here. I've said before that Domingez can hit 116 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: twenty five home runs in a full season. I've seen 117 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: some people say, yeah, thirty home runs is a rookie, 118 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: thirty thirty, thirty forty. We got a call about that. 119 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my prediction in a few minutes, but 120 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: first I want to take a look at his stat 121 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: cast numbers. You can see that in his first week 122 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: in the big leagues in twenty twenty four, obviously and 123 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: extraly small sample size, but he was elite across the board. 124 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the ex wOBA, the expected batting average, 125 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: barrel percentage, sweet spot bat speed squared up percentage, chase percentage, 126 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: the only things that were below average were the strikeout 127 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: percentage and the fifth percentage. The walk percentage also lower 128 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: than you'd like, but that jumped way up last year 129 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: when he came back, and some of the other stuff 130 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: was down. But the bat speed is elite, the hard 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: hit percentage is elite, the barrel percentage is well above average. 132 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: I think that the exit velocity is a little surprising 133 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: because in the minor league is all we heard about was, 134 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: oh the exit velocity, Oh, one hundred and fifteen mile 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: on exit velocity. What I think we're gonna see is 136 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: a high peak exit velocity from him, but maybe like 137 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: a lower average exit velocity. He does seem to hit 138 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: a lot of long fly balls, which you know it's 139 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: home runs, but you don't necessarily need to have him 140 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: be one hundred and fifteen miles an hour. You know 141 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: you hit one with the right launch ankle, and one 142 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: hundred mile an hour exit velocity is a dinger. So 143 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: he seems like he's a power hitter who's also going 144 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: to hit for average, who's also gonna take pitches. He's 145 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, if you look at sprint speed, it went 146 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: down a little bit last year comparative to the league, 147 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: but still good. Obviously, defense is going to be an 148 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: issue for him. Hopefully he has a good spring. It's 149 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: one of those things that I'm going to be watching 150 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: all year. I felt like it was really awkward when 151 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: he got called up and Alex Verdugo was still on 152 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: the team and he was trying to take Alex Verdugo's spot. 153 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: And you know, it's like if you're working at a 154 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: company and you got a cubicle and they put the 155 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: guy who they're training to replace you, like in the 156 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: cubicle next to yours, right, and it's just like, well, 157 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: maybe we can fire you early if this guy can 158 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: pick it up quick. And that guy is just like, 159 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: oh man, I'm struggling a little bit because there's the pressure. 160 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: That's kind of what it felt like to me. But anyway, 161 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: this year, if he stays healthy, which to be fair, 162 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: can be a concern because he's had some injuries in 163 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: his career, He's the favorite to be the opening day 164 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: left fielder when the Yankees begin against the Brewers next month, 165 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm just psyched as all get out. 166 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: I thought I would go ahead and drop my full season. 167 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: Jason Dominguez prediction as a rookie, So here we go. 168 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be actually kind of conservative, but actually pretty 169 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: solid numbers. I'm not gonna say forty forty. I don't 170 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: think he's doing that. I don't think he's doing thirty thirty. 171 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say two sixty four average, twenty six home runs, 172 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: three forty on base percentage, seven sixty ops, and thirty 173 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: four stolen bases. That's what I got for the Martian 174 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: the Martian. I don't know if that's enough to win 175 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year. We got some other good rookies 176 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: out there, but it could be, and it should be 177 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: a ton of fun. Chase Zeroski says, I wish we 178 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: had kept Trey Sweeney, you and me both man. He 179 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: would fit in nicely at third base right now. He's 180 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: got a sweet swing too. I know he didn't do 181 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot of damage last year with the Tigers. He 182 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: was part of that trade from the Dodgers to the 183 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: Tigers for Jack Flaherty, and he was part of that 184 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: playoff run. He did have some big plays, he did 185 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 1: get some big hits, and he's gonna be a major 186 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: leaguer for a while. You can just tell from looking 187 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: at him, that he's got the body type where if 188 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: he puts on some muscle, I mean, he's gonna be 189 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: a problem with the power. And you know, he looked 190 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: good on defense to me, so I know the metrics 191 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: don't say he's amazing, but you know, you give him 192 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: a large enough sample size, he'll be great. 193 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: And also I think that you know, he. 194 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: Would have been a perfect fit for our third base 195 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: conundrum right now, left handed hitter, some pop good kid, young, athletic, cheap. 196 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: I know it would be. 197 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: Another guy who's going through growing pains, but excellent, excellent point. 198 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: I do wish we had swinging as well. 199 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: All right, so let's get on to the little set 200 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: edition that we have here. You might notice that we 201 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: have a little a little ticker behind me that I'm 202 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: trying to point out. It's difficult. I want to say 203 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: this upfront. This is not an ad, this is not sponsored. 204 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: It's just a cool thing that I found and I 205 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: thought we'll add some value to the show. It's called 206 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: a glance Scroll studio, and during the season it'll show 207 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: not only the Yankee score, but the other scores from 208 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: around Major League Baseball. Will have obviously the standings it's 209 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: showing the standings from last year. We've got the AL standings, 210 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: the ALE standings, and the MLB standings all programmed in, 211 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: so that'll update automatically. We can put on messages and 212 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: things like that, so like if you want to propose 213 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: to your girlfriend, you watch Pinstripe Territory with every night, 214 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: we can add that that type of thing. But it's, 215 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to take the studio to the 216 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: next level. So let me know in the comments if 217 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: there's anything specifically that you want me to add to that. 218 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they can do league leaders yet. Maybe 219 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: they will once there are some league leaders. I'm still 220 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: kind of finding out about it. But it's like this 221 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: smart device. It's got an API, and maybe there's a 222 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: way that I can communicate with the people who build 223 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: this thing and we can get some of your specific recommendations, 224 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 1: whether it's like team leaders, league leaders, whatever. But I 225 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: think that would be a nice addition. But anyway, I 226 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: hope you guys enjoy it. Trying to add as much 227 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: production value as I can. Also, we have secured a 228 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: deal with the scouting company Inside Edge, so we'll be 229 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: doing a regular scouting report on various segments during our 230 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: morning voicemail show throughout the season. So a lot more 231 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: fun stuff coming your way. Big things in year number 232 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: six of pinstrit Territory. Okay, one thing that I find 233 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: myself saying around this time of year every year is 234 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: after a gaff, it's spring training for content creators too. 235 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: And so yesterday when we did this voicemail show, we 236 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: had an awesome call from a young lady who asked 237 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: about a potential trade of Clark Schmidt to the Cardinals 238 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: for Brendan Donovan. 239 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: And because I had Marcus Stroman. 240 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: On my mind and I was kind of pissed at him, 241 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: I kind of veered off topic and I never answered 242 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: this lady's question. So I wanted to go ahead and 243 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: try again. So you guys know, when I make a mistake, 244 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 1: I try and come back ten times better and make 245 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: it that much better. So gonna play the voicemail. Then 246 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: I got a special treat for you. 247 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 5: Hey, just wondering if the Yankees just try and say 248 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 5: Clark Schmidt for Brendan Donovan to fix the infield issue. 249 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: So yeah, first of all, gun to my head, I 250 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: would make that trade. It's an interesting idea. Two controllable assets. 251 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: One a young pitcher, the other a youngish going into 252 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 1: his prime infielder. I think that Clark Schmidt probably could 253 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: get you a little bit more than Brendan Donovan, honest honestly, 254 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: because pitching is so valuable, and he boasted a two 255 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: point eighty five in the Al East last year in 256 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, half a season. I really think he's got 257 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: potential if he's able to stretch that out over a 258 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: full year, to be an All Star and to be 259 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: one of the best pitchers in the league. So, you know, 260 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: when he first came up, I didn't love him. I 261 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: thought his mechanics were crap. But he has fixed a 262 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: lot of those problems. He was opening his front side 263 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: too early and so he was missing arm side on 264 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: his pitches. 265 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: It's a physics thing. Whatever. 266 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: If he's able to maintain the improvements that he made 267 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: last year in the first half, sky's the limit for 268 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt. But if you held a gun to my head, 269 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: I think I'd have to make the deal. But let's 270 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: ask Cardinals beat writer making her Pinstripe Territory debut, Kate. 271 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 6: So you're a Yankees fan and you want the Yankees 272 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 6: to trade for Brendan Donovan, I get it, and if 273 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 6: it makes you feel any better, The Yankees have also 274 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 6: had interest in Brendan Donovan for years, For multiple off 275 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 6: seasons in a row, They've called the Saint Louis Cardinals 276 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 6: very early on and said, hey, what's up with Donovan? 277 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 6: Can we get him? And every year the Saint Louis 278 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 6: Cardinals say, no, you cannot. The Cardinals are in the 279 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 6: middle of a transition season. They're trying to figure out 280 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 6: which of their young players will be in their core 281 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 6: when longtime present at baseball operations John Mozeloc steps down 282 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 6: at the end of the year. One of those players 283 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 6: that they're planning on having and keeping is Brendan Donovan. Now, 284 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 6: could this change when Heim Bloom takes over in twenty 285 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 6: twenty six, maybe, But for right now, keep dreaming, Yankees fans, 286 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 6: you already got Paul Goldschmidt probably not getting Brendan Donovan. 287 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: Beat writer for the Cardinals, host of Cardinal Territory and 288 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: my personal hero, just a fantastic podcaster coverage all that stuff, 289 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: And unfortunately she doesn't think that the Cardinals are gonna 290 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: deal Brendan Donovan, especially to the Yankees. This year. So 291 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: back to the show, all right. Next on our list 292 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: today is Big G. The Stanton injury has shaken up 293 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: camp a little bit. Today on foul Territory, we had 294 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: an injury expert. He's got the sub stack called under 295 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: the Knife, and he had some interesting things to say 296 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: about John Carlow's arm injuries. 297 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 7: Now another they're speaking of another star in New York, 298 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 7: John Carlos tennis elbow and both elbows. Have you ever 299 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 7: heard of this? And what the heck is going on 300 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 7: in New York? Because tennis elbow, both elbows is a hitter. 301 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 7: It's not like he's playing out in the Alfo throwing 302 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 7: with both arms. 303 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 304 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, And there's a couple interesting things here. First, it's 305 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 3: probably not tennis elbow. I think he was looking for 306 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 3: something understandable, so like tennis elbow. When Aaron Boon said that, 307 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: I think it was just trying to explain it. It 308 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: is tenanitis with tennis elbow. It's very specific type. It's 309 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: because of the motion of the racket, which you don't 310 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 3: have with the bat. You know, some of that vibration 311 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 3: is going into the elbows in the arms of not 312 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: much you know, even with these guys going in there 313 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: and taking a thousand cuts off the hit tracks or 314 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 3: the traject you just don't see this repetitive stress. Injuries 315 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: like this are usually the result of you know, these 316 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 3: old wooden and metal rackets, and we've seen a significant 317 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 3: reduction of that. So I think it's just I don't 318 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 3: know the cause. You know, he think he's always been 319 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 3: a very tightly wound guy, so that could be part 320 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: of it. He's big, he's huge, he swings really really hard. 321 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: But when we're looking at other guys in that range, 322 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: they haven't had these issues. I think it's maybe a 323 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: little bit interesting with Otani given that he also pitches, 324 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: so there's different stresses on the elbow, but this is 325 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 3: just a really unusual one. I think the key here 326 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: is that it was managed not just last year, but 327 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: the year before, so this is an ongoing thing. They 328 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 3: know how to get him ready to play, and he 329 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 3: certainly looked good. If they can just do whatever it 330 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: was they did in October for the entire year, I 331 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 3: think that would be much better for the Yankees. 332 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so probably tendonitis for John Carlos Stanton. Look, John 333 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: Carlo Is, you know he's a freak of nature, right, 334 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: He's one of these guys that just demolished his baseballs 335 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: when he is healthy. Unfortunately, he's had a lot of 336 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: health issues since coming to the Yankees. Michael Kay did 337 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: a pretty nice rundown of it yesterday on his show. 338 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: But as far as Spencer Jones filling in, I've seen 339 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people say, well, this opens the door 340 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: for Spencer Jones. 341 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: I just want to. 342 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: Show you why that might not be the case. Last 343 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: year he played in Double A, he didn't even get 344 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 1: to Triple A, and he hit just two fifty nine 345 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: with a three thirty six on base percentage. He had 346 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 1: two hundred strikeouts in the minor leagues last year. So 347 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna want him to go to Triple 348 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: A first. 349 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: Now. 350 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: The Angels are a team that have been rushing their 351 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: prospects in recent years. Nolan Shanuel, I think his name 352 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: is a few others, and I love that strategy of 353 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: just like, if you think a guy can play, get 354 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: him to the major leagues. But when your strikeout rates 355 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: over like thirty thirty five percent, it's it's it's not 356 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: gonna go down when you get to the major leagues. Right, 357 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 1: So you really want to get him back under control 358 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: into that like, you know, high twenties range. As JJ 359 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: Cooper pointed out and Jeff Pontspop pointed out on this show, 360 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: you really got to make more contact if you want 361 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: to be in the major leagues. Would a spot open 362 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: for a hitter for the first few weeks of the season, 363 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: possibly maybe even the first month or two. 364 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 2: Who knows. 365 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: With John Carlo's injury history and how long it takes 366 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: him to come back, it is going to be interesting 367 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: to see who they take a good long look at 368 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: to be that DH. Now, maybe to go with an 369 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 1: outfielder in right field, and they put Aaron Judge at 370 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: the DH spot, that's certainly a possibility. You preserve his health, 371 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,880 Speaker 1: you preserve his bat in the lineup. 372 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: You know. 373 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: Ever, since Pereira's healthy, he could play right field. Also, 374 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: there's a guy that's competing for the backup catcher job 375 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: also has not played in Triple A yet. Hey Zeus Rodriguez, 376 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: excellent contact bat. I find him very interesting, and he's 377 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: on the forty man roster, so if he hits in 378 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: spring training he could be one of those guys. But 379 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: for Spencer Jones, to win the job. I would love 380 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: it because it meant he had an amazing spring. But 381 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: he'd probably have to hit four hundred this spring with 382 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: about five dingers. That's what he would have to do 383 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: to make team. And I just, I mean, that's a 384 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: tall task to ask for a very tall man. All right, 385 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: let's finish with the Devers drama before we get to 386 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: the voicemails here. I this bugged me even as a 387 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: non Yankees fan. Just selfish stuff in base. I don't 388 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: like selfishness. I don't like selfish players, and Devors is 389 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: doing something very selfish right now. 390 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: Just's looked like the. 391 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 1: Red Sox were ready to take that next step and 392 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: compete for the division with the Yankees. Devers is throwing 393 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: an absolute fit over the fact that the Red Sox 394 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: signed Bregman. He said he won't move off of third base, 395 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: he won't DH. 396 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 2: But here's the problem. He stinks at third base. He stinks, 397 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 2: and Bragman is. 398 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Terrific at third base. He's basically implied that the Red 399 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: Sox if they try and DH him or try and 400 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 1: play him at third, he won't play and he could 401 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: demand a trade. Talk about selfish, absolutely selfish the guy 402 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: assigned to a three hundred and thirty one million dollar 403 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: deal to play baseball. Just do whatever you can to 404 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: help your team win. I mean, as a Yankees fan, 405 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna complain about drama in the Red Sox clubhouse, 406 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: But as a baseball fan, this kind of thing kind 407 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: of bugs me. 408 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: It's spring training. 409 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: Now's the time to do what your team asks you 410 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: to do in order to, you know, create a better 411 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: chance to compete. And if they're saying, well, we need 412 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: you to be the DH, or we need you to 413 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: play first base or whatever, for him to just refuse outright, 414 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 1: I just think that's very selfish. It's very much like 415 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: what Glabor Torres did. It's very much like what Marcus 416 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: Stroman did. Now Stroman at least is fighting for a 417 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: year of his contract in eighteen million dollars. 418 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 2: You put me in that. 419 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: Situation, I might feel the same way and I might 420 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: act the same way. But Devers is signed, right, all 421 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: all he's got to do is whatever he can to 422 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 1: help the team win. If they think he's better at 423 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: third base, or if they think he's better at DH 424 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: than at the base, that's what he should do, all right. 425 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: Quick word from the guys at Foul Territory about Organ 426 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: and then back with a few more voicemails. We got 427 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: let's see one, two, three, four voicemails to get to. 428 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: So don't go away, Go ahead and hit that like 429 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: and subscribe while you're watching this ad. 430 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 8: Hey, this episode is sponsored by Organ and AJ.

I'm trying not 458 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: to swear as much, especially since my mom isn't feeling great. 459 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 2: I don't want to take her off. 460 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: Kathy Casper says, do you still have a shaved head? Well, 461 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: I just recently had it taken down a little bit. 462 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: It was growing kind of crazy, but I still haven't 463 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: recovered it's it never grew in again really solid after 464 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: I after I shaved it for the Ben Rye third 465 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: home run. 466 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: So it is what it is. 467 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: A couple voicemails here, Let's start with this one about Jason. 468 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I saw the clip of Jason dimingazit the Mama 469 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 4: for Don especially on the right side. That was a nuke. 470 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 4: Newt was definitely something to be excited about. Other beliefs, 471 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: but I do believe he was really putting in the 472 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 4: work and that's really good. I just hope his defense 473 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 4: comes next. I think he could be thirty thirty. I'm 474 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 4: probably one of the most optimistic the Mingas fans out there, 475 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 4: but thirty thirty, thirty forty, I wouldn't be surprised. Thanks 476 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: for the voicemail. 477 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: I might be a little surprised if he goes thirty 478 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 1: to thirty. That's a hell of the season. I mean, 479 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 1: there's been some great athletes to come through major league 480 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: baseball that never go thirty thirty. I do think that 481 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: it's a good sign that he's already a good base stealer. 482 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: He's yet to be caught at the major league level 483 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: stealing bases. He's six and zero. He steals a ton 484 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: of bases in the minor leagues. He's on base a lot, 485 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: which means he's gonna have a lot of opportunities. The 486 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: thirty home runs is gonna be tough for a rookie. 487 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: I mean, how many rookies hit thirty home runs? I mean, 488 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: you're talking again, Mike Trout. Now, he did hit four 489 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: home runs in his first seven games, but last year 490 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: when he came up, he didn't really show much like 491 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: he struggled for a while. I'm expecting some growing pains again. 492 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: Two sixty four, twenty six home runs, thirty four stolen bases. 493 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 2: I'll take it. 494 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: I'll sign up for that every day of the week, 495 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: twice on Sunday. 496 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 9: Derek Ki, this is Hugh from bay Ridge in Brooklyn. 497 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 9: How about a show on the Yankee bench. Bench looks 498 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 9: frightening to me, stry Mega, very worrisome. So I think 499 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 9: it's something you should really take a very close look at. 500 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 9: Thank you have a nice stay. 501 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: First of all, Hugh from bay Ridge, Brooklyn. You've got 502 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: a great voice, so you should do a podcast. Just 503 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: the way you speak, the cadence, just the way your 504 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: voice is clear. Hell, you should be doing this, not me. 505 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 1: The problem with doing a video or a podcast on 506 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: the Yankees bench is I don't think anybody's gonna watch it. 507 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: Like it's tough. 508 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: You've got to pick stuff that people are actively interested in, 509 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: so it's more of a segment. And maybe I will 510 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: do a segment because the bench does kind of suck. 511 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: Let's go and take a look at the depth chart. 512 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: We do this occasionally, especially with Grisham out we're kind 513 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: of thin on outfielders. 514 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 2: Let me just move this down a little bit. 515 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: So, you know, we got Cabrera, he's gonna be competing 516 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: for a third base spot with Perrazza. One of those 517 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: guys might be on the bench, Vivas, possibly DJ Lemayhew Trent. 518 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: Grisham's been hurt. You know, we got Everson Prera possibly, 519 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: Spencer Jones probably gonna be in the minor leagues. 520 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: And then we got a. 521 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: Big competition for the backup catcher between j c Escara, 522 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: Zeus Rodriguez, and Alex Jackson. So you're right, it is 523 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 1: looking kind of scary, and uh, I don't blame you 524 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: for keeping it on the back of your mind. 525 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 2: Got to call here from the same situation. 526 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 5: It's a safe situation. Again. I'm really getting sick of 527 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 5: these half measures. But I don't really think it's Catchman's 528 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 5: fault on. I think it's hell. I mean, if you're 529 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 5: gonna make these investments in the pitching, you have to 530 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 5: go all the way, especially and you have a really 531 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 5: good chance to go back to the World Series. So 532 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 5: it's gonna make this investment in the pitching, you might 533 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 5: as well make an investment in the hitting, or you're 534 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 5: just wasting your money. It doesn't make any sense to me. 535 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 5: No half measures. How it's gonna come back and bite 536 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 5: you in the ass. And I think it already has. 537 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 4: There, Derek. 538 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: Half measures have hurt the Yankees in the past a 539 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: number of times. Remember Troy Tulowitzki, right, I mean, uh, 540 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Euclas Vernon Wells me come on, long history of 541 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: half measures with this current front office. So I don't 542 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: blame you for feeling frustrated. 543 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 10: Hey, Derek, great news to hear your parents are on 544 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 10: the men prayers with you and your family. 545 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 2: About the new. 546 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 10: Twenty twenty five Yankees. I believe they are a better team. 547 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 10: And about pressure on Jason Domingus, Well, he is picked 548 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 10: in Vegas to be the rookie of the year. He's 549 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 10: almost even money. I mean, he's hands down favorite rookie 550 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 10: of the year, which I think.
