1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: All right, that's it the field and now it's Friday,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: and we had an afternoon game between the Yankees and

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: the Pirates in Pittsburgh. Aaron Judge trying to stay hot,

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Max Freed making his second start as a Yankee, and

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: the Yankees trying to put two straight wins together. My recap,

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territorytorytory wanted

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: to pull caps all and talk. We shall welcome back everybody,

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: Welcome back. April fourth. Another win for the New York Yankees.

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: Good to see Devin Williams back out there to nail

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: it down, and congratulations on bringing life into this world.

11
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: First win for Max Friedzin signing his big deal with

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: the Yankees, and another long home run for Aaron Judge,

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: who is now on pace forget this, one hundred and

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: thirty nine home runs and three hundred ninety three RBIs. Wow.

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: The young guys were contributors today. A really good day

16
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: for Oswaldo Cabrera. Jason Dominguez had a good day, another

17
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: multi hit game. He's hitting two ninety two with an

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: eight ninety three ops. Anthony Volpi had three hits and

19
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: a couple of runs scored. He's hitting two eighty six.

20
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: His ops is over eleven hundred so far, so really

21
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: nice contributions. As the Yankees take the first game of

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: the road trip nine to four in Pittsburgh. It was

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's opening day and their fans were not happy. They

24
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: were chanting sell. It was just it was rough. So

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: I didn't have a voicemail show this morning because my

26
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: HVAC company was out. Today was the day that they

27
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: come and do the maintenance on the air conditioner, and

28
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: it's right above where I do my voicemail show, and

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: it was My appointment was for ten o'clock in the morning,

30
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: so there was just no way for me to squeeze

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: it in. I did make a Nostra Derek prediction. I

32
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: made it on Twitter, and it was that Jason Domingez

33
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 1: would go deep hush, so no lock for knows to

34
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: Derek this time. Sounds like we might have rain this

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: weekend in Pittsburgh, So if there is a rain out,

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: maybe we'll do a rain out voicemail show something like that.

37
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: In this episode, I will recap Game one between the

38
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Pirates. Max Fried's second start with the Yankees.

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: It was solid, and we'll talk about some of the

40
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: guys who are making stat cast improvements, Guys like Ben

41
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: Rice picking up his bat speed, Anthony Volpie swinging less

42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: out of the zone. I actually love the four to

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: twelve start time on a Friday. You know, it's Friday night. Now,

44
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: we got to win out of the way. I'm feeling good.

45
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I've got the rest of the night off. You know,

46
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: I can go to the movies, I can kick it

47
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: out on the couch and relax whatever. But we do

48
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: have to get to some concerning news before we get

49
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: to the recap.

50
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 2: You don't know what.

51
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: This was an early game, so I know a lot

52
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: of you probably missed it. And I gotta borrow this

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: from one from word Lifer. He says, no, strad damn it.

54
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: I like that. That is good. That's a good one anyway.

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger out of the lineup today with back stiffness. Now,

56
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: luckily the Yankees were still able to pick up the

57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: w without him, and it's probably nothing serious, but he

58
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: has had some injuries in the past, something to keep

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: an eye on. You know, his career has been kind

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: of riddled with injuries. It's kind of what's kept him

61
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: from getting to that multiple MVP type of level off

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: to a great star with the Yankees. Defensively, offensively, he's

63
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: been okay. He's five for twenty one. That's two thirty eight,

64
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: too small to worry about. The batting average of a

65
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: too small sample size one home run, six RBIs. He's

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: had some productive outs. He's run the base as well,

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: three walks and a stolen base, but out with a

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: stiff back. Hopefully we'll get him back in there tomorrow

69
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: or the next day. You know, if it rains out

70
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: this weekend, that's probably the best thing that could happen

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: for Bellinger because then he won't have to miss any time,

72
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: but he won't have to play either. So let's talk

73
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: about game. Ben Rice back in the leadoff spot. We'll

74
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: focus on him more when we get to the stat

75
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: cast report, but he singled to lead things off still

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: third base got thrown out trying to steal second base.

77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: Later in the game. Yankees kind of got hosed early

78
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: in the game on some bad calls. So both Jazz

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Chisholm and Paul Goldschmidt struck out on pitches outside of

80
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: the zone. For the people who are listening on the audio,

81
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: version of the podcast. I'm showing it up on the screen.

82
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: The pitch to Jazz is probably four inches down if

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: if not more, and the pitch to Goldschmid was probably

84
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: three inches outside. So not the Yankees' fault. There could

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: have been an even bigger win. Umpire was just crap

86
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: all day, just awful. Aaron Judge took a nasty spill

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: in the first Indian right deal got up grimacing, scared

88
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: the hell out of me, and then you know, comes

89
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: on to have a big offensive day, so obviously fine.

90
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: He was one for five, but two run, home run

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: and a walk, hitting three seventy nine on the young season,

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: one point five five eight ops, so the captain getting

93
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: it done. Dominguez continues to look impressive. Another double in

94
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the second inning, consecutive days with doubles extra base hits

95
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: in three of his last four games. He was down

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: two in the count, fouled off a bunch of tough

97
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: pitches and then ripped one down the line, two runs

98
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: single for Oswaldo Carbrera to get the run. Scoring started

99
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: his first two ribbies of the year, but he was

100
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: not done. He had four ribbies today. Diminguez drove in

101
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: the third run with a broken bat single. Pirates were

102
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: kind of kicking the ball around. The crowd was chanting

103
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: sell the team. As we mentioned, just not happy in Pittsburgh.

104
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: Their owner, Bob Nutting, sucks. He's just an awful owner.

105
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: He's cheap. They deserve better out there. They've got a

106
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: rich history of being contenders, but recently they haven't been

107
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: because their owner isn't committed to it. And now's the

108
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: time while they have Paul Skeans and I'd be going

109
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: all in if I were the owner. But another base

110
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: hit for Oswaldo, another RBI made it for nothing. Volti

111
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: got the fifth run with the base hit that nailed

112
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the pitcher Keller's shoe and kind of pinball its way

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: up the middle. Nice piece of two strike hitting, four

114
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: game hit street for VOLTI hit three hits today. Ben

115
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Rice got robbed of a three run extra base hit

116
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: by McCutchen. I love mccutcheen as a player. I mean,

117
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: he was great with the Yankees. He's fun to watch.

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: But he stole one from Rice right there. Can't do

119
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: much about that. I mean, he hit one hundred and

120
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: seven point nine off the bat. He continues to just

121
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: hit the ever loving piss out of the baseball every day.

122
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: It's insane. He is low key the most exciting part

123
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: of the season so far to me because he has

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: taken a massive step forward. A pretty good day for

125
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: Max Free and I'll go more in depth on him

126
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: in a minute, but picked up his first Yankee w

127
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: and of course, because it's a day that ends, and

128
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: why Aaron Judge with a two run home run. Six

129
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: home runs already for the captain as his revenge tour

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: around the American League continues. I'll tell you what though,

131
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: until he does it in the postseason and we keep

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: getting calls and comments like this, there's going to be

133
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: a black cloud that hovers over him of people who

134
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: doubt him in the postseason. Now, maybe this is the year.

135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he carries the Yankees to the championship in the year,

136
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: But as soon as the season ends, everyone's gonna forget

137
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: about the seventy four home runs that he's gonna hit

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: this year, which, by the way, if he's healthy, it's happening.

139
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Mark it down and grave at seventy four plus home

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: runs for Judge. But the minute that it becomes the postseason,

141
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: all the focus is going to shift towards. All right,

142
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: can you do it in the playoffs this time? Can

143
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: you do it in the clutch? And unfortunately, it's just

144
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: one of those things. We got to wait and see.

145
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: Kay Brian Hayes, somebody who the Yankees have been linked

146
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: to multiple times in trades, son of former Yankee and

147
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: the guy who caught the final out of the ninety

148
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: six World Series, Charlie Hayes. Smoke you run home run

149
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: off of Fernando Cruz in the seventh inning. Cruz has

150
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: an era of seven point three six so far. His

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: stuff was lights out a couple of days ago, but

152
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: not good today. Hung a slider and I'll tell you what.

153
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: The bullpen so far has made it a little bit

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: too interesting for me, beginning with Devin Williams on opening

155
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: day and then you know, Mark Lighter the other night.

156
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: But this game was closer than it needed to be

157
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: and took longer than it needed to but the Yankees

158
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: finish it off. Devin Williams shut it down. Yankees win

159
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: game over Yankee. All right, So a lot of good

160
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: belt candidates today. Obviously we had Demingez with a good day,

161
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: Cabrera three for four with four ribbies, Judge had another

162
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: home run Volpi three for four, two runs scored, and

163
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Max Free picked up his first Yankees w You gave

164
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: it a lot of thought, but ultimately I decided to

165
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: go with the Wizard of Oswaldo first belt for Oswaldough.

166
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you're listening on audio today,

167
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: it was a bad day to skip and not watch

168
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: YouTube because we've got a new belt. We got a

169
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: custom Pinstripe Territory belt that we were using the NYY

170
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: Recaps belt just as a little omod, a little you know,

171
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: hat tip to the old channel. But we have fully

172
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: switched over now that we have the belt for Pinstrive Territory.

173
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: It is official, and baby it is beautiful. We got

174
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: the real goal, the realistic jewels, all that good stuff.

175
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: And I do want to give an honorable mention to

176
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: mister Dominguez. Another multi hit game. He's got extra base

177
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: hits in three out of his last four games. You know,

178
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: his base running has been terrific. On otphs Out of

179
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: the Park Baseball, it's a baseball sim, a text based sim.

180
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: They're kind of known for their predictions. No, they're not

181
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: always accurate. They usually get pretty close on a lot

182
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: of things. They predicted Jason Dominguez. This was the big

183
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: surprise of having a seven point five wins above replacement

184
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: this year, a seven point five war that's MVP level,

185
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: that is Martian level. The broadcast went on a tangent

186
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: about his base running today. They sounded surprise, We've been

187
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: watching this all spring, and I've been talking about it

188
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: all season. The guy can scoot, He gets around the bases.

189
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: I don't care that he's short and he's got, you know,

190
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: shorter stride. He really can move. He runs like you

191
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: could see why he was compared to Bo Jackson. He

192
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: runs like a running back. He still got some work

193
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to do from the right side of the plate, as

194
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: someone commented yesterday, still a switch hitter in name only.

195
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: But and we've mentioned this a few times, very patient

196
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: from the right side of the plate. So at least

197
00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 1: he's got that. But it's clear I don't think he

198
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: has a hit yet from the right side of the plate.

199
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: Maybe one, but hitting two ninety two on the season

200
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: with an eight ninety three OPS so far, so good

201
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: day for the Martian. Let's talk about Max Freed. They

202
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: just obviously his first dub with the Yankees easy first inning,

203
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: won two three on nine pitches. I thought he was

204
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: pitching much more stress free throughout the day. Obviously, the

205
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: last time that the Yankees had Max freeze on freed

206
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: on the mound, they hit nine home runs, but they

207
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: also made five errors, So today a little less power,

208
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 1: eight less home runs and five less errors. He gave

209
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: a couple of line drive singles in the second inning,

210
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: but pitched out of it, served up the home run

211
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: to Reynolds in the third inning. I thought it was

212
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: bad pitch and Reynolds beat him. I mean, you know,

213
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Reynolds is a good hitter and you're not gonna eat

214
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: his lunch over that. We saw him use the great

215
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: pickoff move a lot this spring that he was working

216
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: with Andy Pettitt on developing, and today he picked off

217
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: our old buddy IKF. I thought the curve ball got

218
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: better as the day went along. You look at the

219
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: stat line five and two thirds innings, six hits, one run,

220
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 1: one urn run, one walk, and six strikeouts. He threw

221
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: ninety eight pitches, sixty two of which were strikes. He

222
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: had thirteen swings and missus or whiffs. Max Elo max

223
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: Velo was ninety eight point one. So you know, topping

224
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: out over ninety eight for the second start in a

225
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: row and his era on the season, you'll take this

226
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: for the whole year, two point six to one. Very

227
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: nice performance from Max.

228
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: Three.

229
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: Mary Beth says, yes, well, we were watching Judge and

230
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: his postseason performance. Robert Ryan wants to sweep. We really

231
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: should sweep this team. We really should. The Pirates are

232
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: not good there now, two and six on the year.

233
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: They were kicking the ball around, playing sloppy baseball. But

234
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: so far, you know, the Yankees look like they're the

235
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: dominant team, and I think they will sweep this series

236
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: if the games get played. All right, so let's talk

237
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: about stat cast. Now. I'm not a huge analytics guy.

238
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: It's data. I like having as much data, but I

239
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily put as much stock in all of the

240
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: data because data changes. That's the nature of data. And

241
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: I do believe the eye test a lot. Like you know,

242
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: I looked at Ben Rice this spring and I said,

243
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: he's swinging the bat harder, he's swinging the bat faster,

244
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: and now the data is starting to come in. His

245
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: swing is three miles an hour faster.

246
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: You know.

247
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: He said the same thing about Wells. Wells, by the way,

248
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: struggling down to one ninety but still an eight forty

249
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: four ohps because his hits have done damage. Jazz Chisholm

250
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: with the torpedo bat specifically said the other day, my

251
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: exit velocities are the same as it always is, well

252
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: maybe it is, but his average exit velocity is up,

253
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, from eighty nine point seven to ninety three

254
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: point three. So what's that three point six miles an hour.

255
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty damn good and obviously doing damage this year.

256
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm, he was zero for five today. He's got

257
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: a two forty one average, but a nine to sixty

258
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: eight ops. I mean, if you look at the Yankees ops's,

259
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: they're ridiculous right now. Rice at the top of the

260
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: order one point two to three zero, Judge one point

261
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: five to five to eight, Chisholm nine point or point

262
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: nine six eight, Goldschmidt point seven ninety seven. And he

263
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: was two for five today, Wells eight forty four despite

264
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: the one ninety average Volpi one point one zero five,

265
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: Grisham one point three to five seven. He had another

266
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: hit today in a couple of walks. He's played really,

267
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: really well Domingaz two ninety two average with an eight

268
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: ninety three OPS and Cabrera after his three hit game

269
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: today six ninety seven OPS for a three sixteen average. So,

270
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, rounding in the form, he was not doing

271
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: well headed into today. So another thing I want to

272
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: mention is that Volpi is swinging at more strike becau

273
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: so barrowing the ball more. His strikeout or his chase

274
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: percentage last year was about twelve percent higher than it

275
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: is right now. His barrel rate last year was like

276
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: three point nine percent. Right now it's like ungodly, it's

277
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: like twenty three percent. There's no way he's going to

278
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: keep that up. Small sample size, but these are all

279
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: positive data points that we can look at when we're

280
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, what's gone on in these first

281
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: seven games, and the Yankees now five and two to

282
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: begin the season. All right, let's take a few audience

283
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: reactions here info info. So it's nice to see runs

284
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: scored with small ball. Yeah, the Yankees didn't necessarily rely

285
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: on the home run today. Dwight Seymour says, five and

286
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: two with a makeshift rotation. You know, Carlos Carrasco threw

287
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: the ball pretty well. Yesterday we got a call about him.

288
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is Cayden Colin. I was happy with the

289
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: Carrasco start five and the third three are runs. I mean,

290
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: we'll take that every song to Rasco. Just keep doing that.

291
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: And then another thing I was thinking about is the

292
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: bullpen after Luke Weaver and Devin Williams. It's a big question. Mark,

293
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: let me do what you think.

294
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. But they mentioned on the

295
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: broadcast that Lewisaga is due back in early May. That's

296
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: going to be huge. Tyler Matsik was getting rave reviews

297
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: in spring now. He's always had health issues the last

298
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: couple of years, so I don't want to count on

299
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: him too much. But if you can come back and

300
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: help us out for at least part of the summer,

301
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: that would be good. And Robert Ryan says seven runs

302
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: without a home run. DM says won't be looking like

303
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: an All Star. And DM actually called in but DM,

304
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: I couldn't hear you. You got to speak up a little

305
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: bit on the microphone or on the phone. There just

306
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: wasn't playable. But I appreciate the call. Got a call

307
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: here from Savesitch.

308
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 2: He gets the see see it's really good to hear

309
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: the Frank Sinatra song that I always know and love

310
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 2: well means look really good tonight. I really like how

311
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 2: this team has made up. The roster looks a little

312
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: better this year. Obviously, the Bolton's got to tighten up.

313
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: Well.

314
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 2: They got some scrappers in there, but you know they

315
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: can you know, other scrap peepers in there to take

316
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: over the other scrap peepers. Anyways, a lot of good

317
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: stories in this game.

318
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Good to see JC get his hit, and hey, I

319
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: just want to let you know I really enjoy your

320
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: show and keep up the great work there. Take care,

321
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: appreciate the call save Sitch. And he's actually in the

322
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: chat right now, and he says, Cruz reminds me of Clay.

323
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: When the magic works, nobody hits it, but if not, well, yeah,

324
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: that can sum up his appearances with the Yankee so far.

325
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, though, that splitter the other night

326
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: was ungodly. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.

327
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: Maybe peak Tanaka, maybe peak Kurt Shilling. And then you know,

328
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: Jose could Treras had the big forkball. He got the

329
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: kind of vertical break, but combining the vertical break with

330
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: the speed Man. It's one of the best split fingers

331
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Laurie c says she loves PNC Park.

332
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: I agree with that one hundred percent. I think it's

333
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: one of the more beautiful parks in baseball. It's a

334
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: shame that the Pirates have to play there because they're

335
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: you know, they're wasting it. You know that play should

336
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: be packed every night. And you know Pittsburgh fans, I

337
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 1: mean they love the Steelers, the Penguins. They are hardcore fans,

338
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: and you know, their owner just kind of disrespects them

339
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: by not really making an effort. And that's a winnable

340
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: division most years. Brian Doobie says, Oswaldo A Rod, who Cabrera.

341
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: It's strange people still talking about a Rod years later.

342
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, great show.

343
00:18:54,680 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to gain your thoughts on gestism, wearing numbers

344
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: thirteen and the whole hay Rod situation. I mean, they're

345
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: never gonna retire a Rod's number thirteen. He tried to

346
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 1: sue the team. I was surprised they invited him back

347
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: to Old Timers Day. It seems like they've mended fences

348
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I don't think a Rod is

349
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: ever gonna be given that honor at best because he

350
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: won two MVPs. Maybe he'll get a plaque and monument park,

351
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: but they're never going to retire thirteen unless maybe it's

352
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: for Jazz Chisholm. All right, everybody, thanks for watching. Again.

353
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: We're expecting rain this weekend. If one of the games

354
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: gets rained out, maybe we'll do a little voicemail show,

355
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280
