1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Got to cook at all. 2 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back. Well, the Yankees just 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 2: received a good old fashioned, passionate ass whooping here in 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: spring training from the Mets. That one was quite ugly. 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 2: The Mets take this one ten to four. Ryan Weathers, 6 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: after a really impressive debut against the Nationals last week, 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: really struggled this time out, and it was clear that 8 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,639 Speaker 2: it was one of those spring outings where nothing was 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: going right. He couldn't find his location, he struggled pitching 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 2: out of the stretch, and when he tried to correct, 11 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,319 Speaker 2: he would leave too many balls over the plate and 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 2: he got shellacked, which pushed his spring era up to 13 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 2: seven point nine to four. There's no doubt in my 14 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: mind he's gonna be a really good pitcher, but today 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 2: obviously one of those spring games where he's just kind 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: of working out the kinks a little bit. You might 17 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: be a little bit ticked off that society stole an 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: hour from our weekend today with the spring forward, but 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: look at it this way. At least we are one 20 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 2: hour closer to the end of meaningless baseball and spring 21 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: training and one hour closer to Opening Day. Yankees versus 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 2: Giants had another impressive day from George Lombard Junior. Today, 23 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: he smoked one off the wall. Jason Dominguez had a 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: couple of RBIs. He also misplayed a ball in left field, 25 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: and the Mets rally to replace an early or to 26 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 2: overcome an early deficit. I'll talk about all of that, 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: and then we'll go through and take a snapshot of 28 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: where the Yankees are so far this spring through the 29 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: first what's it about eleven games or twelve games, something 30 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: like that. So let's go ahead and get to the 31 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: key takeaways in this brutal beatdown that the Yankees just received, 32 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: and as you see, not a lot to write home about. 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: Dominguez was one for four of a couple of ribbies, 34 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: He had a stolen base, Seth Brown couple of hits. 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: He also Seth Brown was an absolute butcher at first 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: base today, justin absolute butcher at first base. There were 37 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 2: multiple pickoff throws that you know, he got fooled on 38 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 2: one of them and then he dropped another one. He 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: just looked really bad. The Yankees did jump out to 40 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: an early lead against Freddy Parolta. As I mentioned, George 41 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 2: Lombard Junior continues to swing the bat well another good 42 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 2: game against an established major league pitcher. Last week, he 43 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: hit a home run against Garrett Crochet on a fastball. 44 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: Today he tagged well, looked like a breaking ball and 45 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: drove it off the left field wall ninety six point 46 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: seven off the bat, and then Spencer Jones picked up 47 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: his seventh RBI this spring with a line drive to 48 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: left And that was pretty much the height of the 49 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: the Yankees' chances today, as you see after the third inning, 50 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 2: actually get the second inning, the Mets pretty much took 51 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: over and they ran away with this one. And you 52 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: could tell that Ryan Weathers just was not comfortable today, 53 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: just was not comfortable on the mound. He struggled a 54 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: lot pitching from the stretch. He was just, you know, ugly, 55 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: just ugly today through a lot of stressful pitches. He 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: had one of those games that you know, you have 57 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: to come out and then you re enter, you know 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 2: that little league stuff that they do. But that's what 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: they do in spring training. They want to keep these 60 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: guys healthy. So sometimes if you have a really long 61 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 2: ding and you're struggling, they'll pull you out of the 62 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: game and then send you back out. But last time out, 63 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: you may remember that he faced the minimum and he 64 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: only pitched to one batter with a runner on base. 65 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: He was pitching out of the stretch one time he 66 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: got a ground ball is Short and got a double play. 67 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: So he hadn't worked from the stretch yet. And today 68 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: that's when the problem seemed to arrive. When he was 69 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: pitching in the stretch. Defense didn't help him. Zach Short 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: dropped the pop up, Domingus played a double or single 71 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: into a double A though Domingez did make a really 72 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: nice throw home to get an out and Seth Brown, 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: I mean at first base. Was just an absolute abomination. 74 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: So sloppy day for the Yankees. Dominguez did cut the 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: lead to six fort one, but then the Mets, you know, 76 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: piled on and they take this one. I did love 77 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: to throw by Dominguez. That shows that at least the 78 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: arm is one hundred percent. You know, last year coming 79 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 2: back from Tommy John, you were uncertain how strong the 80 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: arm was going to be. But today it looked really, 81 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: really good. Let's go ahead and talk about Ryan Weathers 82 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 2: a little bit more breakdown is outing now. He did 83 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: touch ninety nine point five miles an hour. He had 84 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: a couple of strikeouts, in the first inning. Uh, but 85 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: you see the second inning is where he had problems. 86 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 2: He gave up a leadoff single, he had a runner 87 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 2: picked off, if not for the fact that he also 88 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: picked off Seth Brown at first base, didn't get the 89 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: out obviously, and then you know, pitching from the stretch 90 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: just he struggled two innings, seven hits, six runs, five 91 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: of them, earned two walks and three strikeouts. Through the 92 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: fastball a lot today, more than he had been throwing 93 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: it in his previous outing. He had to because he 94 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: was behind in the count. Fifty nine pitches, thirty seven strikes, 95 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: game score of twenty one, which is bad. He did 96 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: have four whiffs, twenty fastballs, eighteen sweepers, twenty sorry, eleven 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: change ups, nine sinkers, and one slider. So twenty fastballs, 98 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: eighteen sweepers, eleven change ups, nine sinkers, one slider. Going 99 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: through that one more time, and you know he was 100 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: mixing all his pitches. But it seemed like early on 101 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: he wanted to throw the sweeper and the change up 102 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: a lot, but he couldn't throw them for strikes, and 103 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: so he had to rely on the fastball. And by 104 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: the time he started doing that, it was. It was 105 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: kind of late, he was kind of gassed, and he 106 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: was throwing a lot of pitches out over the place, 107 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: so he got hit hard. But overall this spring five 108 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 2: and two thirds innings, eight strikeouts, two walks. But this 109 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 2: one sucked. 110 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: Do you watch you watch the game? 111 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: I mean, didn't it suck? It sucked, all right. So 112 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: let's go ahead and take a look at the Yankees 113 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: pitching so far this spring. So Weathers obviously struggled. Today. 114 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: He's one to o with a seven point nine to 115 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 2: four ER. Actually it's probably one in one now he 116 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: probably got the loss, I would imagine today. Let's go 117 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: ahead and refresh. Let's see where we're at. Yeah, one 118 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,799 Speaker 2: and one with a seven point nine to four ERA. 119 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: Will Warren also one in one, zero point eight seven ERA. 120 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: He leads the squad in innings pitched this spring with 121 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: ten and the third. Paul Blackburn is throwing eight and 122 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: a third innings. He's got a two point one six ERA. 123 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: Louis heals look pretty good. And what's most important for 124 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: Louis Heal is the strikeout to walk ratio. Eleven strikeouts, 125 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: three walks, so better than three to one, almost four 126 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 2: to one. And he's two and oh with a two 127 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: point twenty five ERA, eight innings, eleven k some more 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: strikeouts in the innings pitch. Last year that was not 129 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: the case. So, you know, let's take a look at 130 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: his year last year. You know, back in twenty twenty four, 131 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 2: he was fifteen and seven with a three point five 132 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: zero ERA, and you look at the numbers one hundred 133 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: and fifty one and two thirds innings and one hundred 134 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: and seventy one strikeouts. Well, we fast forward to next year, 135 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 2: fifty seven innings, forty one strikeouts, so less than a 136 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: strikeout per inning. The whip went up to one point 137 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: four zero. He was four and one with a three 138 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: point three to two ERA, But the Yankees want more 139 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: out of him this year. Elma Rodriguez has looked really 140 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: good three ERA and Max Freed one start did not 141 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 2: allow an earned run. Last year he was nineteen and 142 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: five with a two point eight six ERA, and this 143 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: season in spring training he has one to zero with 144 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: three innings pitched and three walks in one strikeout. So 145 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: the control has not been there yet. Cam Schlitler looked 146 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: really good his first time out. Last year, of course, 147 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: he was four and three with a two point nine 148 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 2: to six ERA this year in spring training he's made 149 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 2: one appearance, two and thirty innings, four strikeouts, so he 150 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: has not lost a little bit of that stuff. He 151 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: looks fantastic. And now let's just take a look at 152 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: who was hot and cold. Ben Rice been swinging a 153 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: hot bat over the last seven days this spring. He 154 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: is hitting for twelve, he's got one home run and 155 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: for Ribby's Schumann Max Schuman having a good spring actually 156 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: for seventeen this year this spring, so doing a nice shot, 157 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: but a career, not a great career. Two twelve hitter 158 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 2: last year, one ninety seven Spencer Jones. He had a 159 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: base knock today at RBI three point thirty three this spring, 160 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: three home runs and seven ribbys. So that's kind of 161 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 2: what the Yankees are doing right now. Let's take a 162 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: look at the metric leaders. So Stanton the hardest hit ball. 163 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: Now it doesn't officially count because it was an exhibition game, 164 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: but one hundred and fourteen point five three off the bat, 165 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 2: but still hitting zero zero zero, you know that was 166 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 2: a base Hey, they didn't count because of the matchup, 167 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 2: but uh, five at bats, three strikeouts so far for 168 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: Big g Jason Dominge has been having a good spring. 169 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: He had one one hundred and ten off the bat, 170 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: and jac Scar has been having a good spring. He 171 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 2: hit one one hundred and nine off the bat. He's 172 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: hitting two thirty five. So maybe not that great spring, 173 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: but in eight oh seven ops, so obviously driving the 174 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: baseball a little bit. You look at the peak velocity 175 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 2: by pitcher. Now I could just have, uh, you know, 176 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: the top five pitches thrown and have the same player, 177 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: but that I wanted to kind of show how everybody's doing. 178 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: So Carlos Lagroney one hundred and two point four still 179 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: the fastest pitch thrown by a Yankee the spring. Ryan 180 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 2: Weather's ninety nine point eight didn't quite get there today 181 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: he was ninety nine point five. Topped out Schlitler ninety 182 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: nine point six and camro Dovall over ninety nine miles 183 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: an hour. I don't know why it's showing Schlitler a couple times. 184 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 2: That should happen anyway. So that's where we're at in 185 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 2: terms of pitching. Longest home run is Spencer Jones. Still 186 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: Yankees have not been hitting the ball out of the 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 2: ballpark the last few days. Aaron judge four hundred and 188 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: twenty feet number two. He hit one four fifty three 189 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: in one of these World Baseball Classic exhibitions. The one 190 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: he hit the other night, I think went about, you know, 191 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: four hundred and fifteen feet or something like that. So 192 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: that's where we're at. Let's get a quick word on 193 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: the WBC and then back to take some voicemails.

I think, just a twenty one 210 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: million dollar contract that we sign for one year, it's 211 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: really gonna bite us in the butt. I don't know, 212 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: probably one of the worst moves in recent history for 213 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: the Yankees. 214 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: I wouldn't read too much into Trent Grisham's spring, although 215 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: he is having a bad spring, hitting one to eighteen 216 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,199 Speaker 2: so far this spring, and he's one of these guys 217 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: that kind of plays in what's the way, I don't 218 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: want to say like a lowfish. He's he's got a 219 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 2: slow heartbeat, he's he's very relaxed, and I think that 220 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: when you pair that up with the relaxed nature of 221 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: spring training, I think that he's just going through the motions. 222 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: I don't think he cares one bit. Would not shock 223 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: me if he gets out of the gate hot like 224 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: he did last year. But yeah, off to a tough start. 225 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: You know, you look at last season though thirty four 226 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 2: home runs, seventy four RBIs, eight twelve ops. He did 227 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 2: play in one hundred and forty three games. He had 228 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: a two fifty three batting average on balls and play, 229 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 2: But that's by far the best year of his career. 230 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: The year before that with the Yankees one ninety with 231 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: nine home runs in seventy six games. Year before that, 232 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: one ninety eight with thirteen home runs for the Padres, 233 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: year before that, won eighty four with seventeen home runs. 234 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: I think there's a solid chance that he reverts to 235 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: this guy, the twenty two to twenty three version of himself. 236 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: Back in twenty twenty one, he had two forty two 237 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: with a seven to forty ops. Going back to the 238 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: COVID season two fifty one, so early on in his career, 239 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: he you know, made a little bit more contact. But 240 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty three, twenty four all under two hundred 241 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 2: with the batting average before bouncing back up to two 242 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: thirty five last year, and of course the power numbers. 243 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: So I'm not going to read too uch into a 244 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: slow spring from a veteran like him, but I do 245 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: think that he's got a little bit of a short 246 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: lease given the depth that the Yankees have in the outfield. 247 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: Right now, here's Brian. 248 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 3: Hey, it's going on, Derek, it's Brian. 249 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: Uh. 250 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: I have a little bit of a different call today. 251 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: I was watching the World Baseball Classic, and obviously we 252 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: were watching judges dominate there in the first inning. He 253 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 3: also did pretty pretty well in the exhibitions leading up 254 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: to this. I know sometimes this isn't necessarily the same 255 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 3: level of competition until you reach you know, some of 256 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: these deeper uh you know, uh, just just these better 257 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 3: teams like the Dominican and Japan. Even Venezuela Mexico can 258 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 3: be pretty good. So we'll obviously see some good competition 259 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 3: moving forward. But it was good to see when the 260 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 3: lights are bright that that judge was still able to 261 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 3: come through. I think Bryce Harper whatever struck out on 262 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: one of his first at bats, so just to see 263 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 3: that big connection, that big home run and possibly just 264 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: possibly the carryover from that awesome playoffs he actually did 265 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: have last year, put the first time maybe in his 266 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: career carry go over into these big, new pressure situation. 267 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: Moments and appreciate the call, Brian. So I hope that 268 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: judge got that pressure off of his back. You know, 269 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: I think he's got a chance to win the Triple Crown. 270 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: I think he's got a good chance as anybody we've 271 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: ever seen winning the Triple Crown. And it's so funny 272 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 2: that he has evolved into such a good hitter, you know, 273 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: the last two years. In twenty twenty four he hit 274 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 2: three twenty two with fifty eight home runs, and then 275 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five he hit three thirty one with 276 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: fifty three home runs. Going back to twenty twenty two 277 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 2: three eleven with sixty two home runs, he had the 278 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 2: injury in twenty twenty three, but still hit two sixty 279 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 2: seven with sixty with sorry thirty seven home runs in 280 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: one hundred and six games. So, I mean, if there's 281 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: one guy I think we can count on, it's Aaron Judge. 282 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: As long as he's healthy, he's gonna put up numbers. 283 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: The question is will he do it in the clutch. 284 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: That's always been the question with him. And I think 285 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: that what he did last year in the postseason will 286 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: certainly help alleviate some of the stress that he was 287 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: feeling in those situations. But to seventy three this spring 288 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: with a couple of home runs and obviously getting it 289 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: done for America, Captain America. 290 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: Here's Chris, Hey del this is christ You know, I've 291 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: been thinking about it with caid win quest pitch. You know, 292 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: he's got also a uspot. Do you think he's a 293 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: loss to make the team either way, or he thinks 294 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't pitch. If he keeps pitching Paul, you know, 295 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: there's a chance might have persent back to Saint Louis. 296 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: Let me know what you think of the show. 297 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: Kid Winkles. He's looked good to me. I've seen him 298 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: like pitch a few times. He's got good stuff and 299 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: you can see that he's got almost to strikeout an inning. 300 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: But you know, one point eight eight whip in spring 301 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: training when he's trying to make the team. You know, 302 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: granted we're only March eighth, so he's got time to 303 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: work it out, but it would sincerely shock me if 304 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: he makes the team. And I think it only happens 305 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: if the Yankees have some kind of an injury. But 306 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: he is a depth piece that the Yankees obviously feel 307 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: they can do something with and quick and that's why 308 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: they're pitching him a lot this spring. They're getting a 309 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 2: look at him. They're gonna see if they can make 310 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: some tweaks and turn him into a valuable arm. You know, 311 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: sometimes these changes that they make with guys take really quickly. 312 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: I mean when Clay Holmes came over to the Yankees, 313 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 2: he basically just started throwing the sinker exclusively and became 314 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: really good right away. And uh, you know, Luke Voight 315 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: was a guy took off right from the jump with 316 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: the Yankees. And you know, they do this, They find 317 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: guys and they make a tweak and they pitch better. 318 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: You know, Ryan Weathers didn't have a good day today, 319 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: but his veloci he is already higher than it's ever been. 320 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 3: You know. 321 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 2: So the Yankees are good at finding those little tweaks 322 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: and getting guys to make them and you know, play better. 323 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure if he'll make the team, but 324 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: he will benefit from being with the Yankees this spring. 325 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: So as you can see, Ryan Weathers lit up the 326 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: radar gun today. Top five pitch beads all Ryan Weathers. 327 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: But unfortunately the Yankees lose this one and in convincing 328 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: fashion ten to four.
