1 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: All right, but it the feel you oh wanted to talk. 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to May Baseball, Game three between the Yankees and 3 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: the Orioles. Tough challenge for the struggling Yankees' bats. Corbin 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: Burns on the mound for Baltimore. Would the Yankees' bats 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: be able to recover my recap? Your reactions coming up next? 6 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: This is then, why why recaps? Welcome dude, pull me back? 7 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. I had a 8 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 1: baseball coach one time that said, if you can't out 9 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: hit them out, pitch them baseball wisdom. But that's exactly 10 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: what the Yankees did tonight. I don't know about you guys, 11 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: but I woke up this morning. I wake up around 12 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: six thirty in the morning. That's about when my cats 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: start to get hungry, and they meow and meow and 14 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: they wake me up. But as soon as I woke up, 15 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I had what psychologists would call a feeling of impending 16 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: doom because I knew that in about twelve hours the 17 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: Yankees were gonna face Corbyn Burns. And the last time 18 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: that we faced Corbyn Burns, he threw eight no hit 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: innings with the Brewers. So tonight I was expecting more dominance, 20 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: and you know, to be fair, he was fantastic tonight, 21 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: but one swinging the bat from Oswaldo Cabrera made the difference. 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: But also at the same time, I told you guys 23 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: last time that Luisill pitched, I'm extremely amped on days 24 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: that he pitches because I feel like he's got future 25 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 1: ace potential and I want to see him take that 26 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: next step. And tonight was probably the best game he's 27 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: pitched in his major league career. Forget probably I was 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: best game he's pitched in his major league career. It 29 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: was impressive. So let's go to the highlights real quick 30 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: and check this one out. Not a ton of highlights. 31 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: It was a low scoring game. Early on Luis Hill 32 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 1: getting soft contact. He was, you know, pitching two contact 33 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 1: but efficient. That kept him in the game for a 34 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: longer time. Here getting a nice easy ground ball in 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: a ninety eight mile an hour fastball. And you know, 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: he had some deep counts where he hit three balls, 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: but he always seemed to be able to dial it 38 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: back in and get the strikes when he needed to. 39 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Ninety five there beats the runner to the back. Here's 40 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: Oswaldo Cabrera down and in cutter from Burns and he 41 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: hits it just inside the foul pole for a home run. 42 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: Two runs shot, and that was all the scoring the 43 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Yankees needed. Beautiful camera angle right there, showing off beautiful 44 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: Camden yards, and Oswaldo pumped one of the shortest home 45 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: runs you're gonna see, three hundred and fifty two feet 46 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: right down the line the walls. Three hundred and eighteen. 47 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 1: Clay Holmes. Fantastic job today. Forget cardiac Clay, he was 48 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: just dominant. This might be the best that Clay Holmes 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: has looked as a Yankee as well. So fantastic performance. 50 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Yankees get a game, they will not be swept. Frankie says, 51 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: Derek is right, Luis is the real deal. And then 52 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: getto Sugaru says Clay finally getting some respect. Hey, we 53 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: got to hand it to Clay Holmes. I mean he 54 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: has he has had some easy innings lately. He's got 55 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: now ten saves today it was a five out saves, 56 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: a fight out save. He's got fifteen strikeouts in fourteen innings, 57 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: a zero point nine to three whip so less than 58 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: a base runner per inning, and a zero era so far. 59 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean he's having a hell of a season, thirty 60 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: one years old, gonna be a free agent. Be interesting 61 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: to see what happens to him as the you know, 62 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: free agency unfolds. But reminder, if your new subscribe to 63 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the channel. We're here after pretty much every game. Tomorrow, 64 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: the Yankees have a one pm game, so it'll be 65 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: a late afternoon show. I am working during that time, 66 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: so might not have all the bells and whistles, but 67 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep an eye on the game and when 68 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: it's over, we're gonna go live. Also, we have a 69 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: morning show that we take caller voicemails for people who 70 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: watch this and want to call in and be a 71 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: part of the action. Don't be a dingling, give us 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: a ring a link. Seven eight, nine, nine sixty eight. 73 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: All right, let's dive into some of the fine details 74 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: from tonight. Let's get it, go it, and get your 75 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: belt picks in. Uh. I think we might have a 76 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: split decision tonight because we had two guys that made 77 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: a major impact on this game, with with whom we 78 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: do not without whom we do not win. So Soto 79 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: picked up a hit with one out in the first 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: inning that took the no. Hitter out of play. But 81 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, Burns just after that straight up embarrassed Judge 82 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: and Stanton with sliders. I figured it was gonna be 83 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: a nightmare for our offense, and for the most part 84 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: it was. Burns had six shutout sorry, six innings, two runs, 85 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: one walk, six strikeouts two point six to one are 86 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: in the season for Burns. Not his best strikeout game, 87 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: but six strikeouts not. The Yankees were a strikeout game. 88 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: They did better than I thought they would against him, 89 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: but his slider was just filthy Against right handed hitters, 90 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: they just couldn't do much with it. And you know, 91 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: he buried it in on some lefties like Rizzo, and 92 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: you know, Sodo got a couple of hard ones down 93 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: and in Volpi had a really tough night against Burns. 94 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: So Burns, you know, lived up to his reputation. Yankees 95 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: were aggressive on the bases. I thought they were trying 96 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: to make things happen. Soto had a couple of stolen bases. 97 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: He also got thrown out trying to steal third. Questionable 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: decision there, and I didn't think there was much value 99 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: in going at that point. But at least they're trying 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: to make things happen. I'm not gonna beat up on 101 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: guys for an aggressive move. There was one out, so 102 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: it's not one of those things where you make the 103 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: first out at third or the last out at third. 104 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: But you know you want to see you want to 105 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: see the guys be aggressive, so I don't hate it. 106 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,799 Speaker 1: Top five Yankees broke through infield single from Truvigno Gunner 107 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: hand kind of slipped and then Oswaldo Cabrera stepped in, 108 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: got out in a nanosecond. Beautiful. Jack Well says. The 109 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: key for Holmes is that slider. It plays so well 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: with the sinker. We'll talk about him in a second. 111 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: You know, every time that we start to hear at 112 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: DJ Lemayhew's name brought up as coming back, feels like 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: Oswaldo gets a big hit or makes a big player, 114 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: hits one out of the ballpark. Just the mere thought of, 115 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, yielding the third base position at this point 116 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: seems to light a fire under his ass. I like it. 117 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: But the story tonight, as you guys have brought up 118 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: repeatedly in the comments, was the phenomenal pitching performance by 119 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: Luis the real deal heel who showed the potential of 120 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: what he can become and what he is in the 121 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: midst of hopefully becoming. Tonight, as we mentioned, his best 122 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: start as a professional, six and the third scoreless innings 123 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: against the best lineup he's ever faced in his life. 124 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: The command was there. And when he has command and 125 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: that stuff, which is there pretty much every night, he's 126 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: he's pretty much unhittable. He's got ace level potential. He 127 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: was just tremendous to night. He was efficient. He had 128 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: eighty eight pitches through six innings. I wasn't sure if 129 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: they were gonna send him out for the seventh. They did. 130 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: He walked the guy the first batter of the seventh inning, 131 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: but then got a fly out to right field, deep 132 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: fly ball, and after that they decided it was time 133 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: to go to Caleb Ferguson, who got out of the inning. 134 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: But you know, whatever Matt Bleake is working on with 135 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: Luis Heel is very exciting. This is a damn good 136 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: lineup that he faced tonight, and he knew very well 137 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: that he had to pitch well because the guy he 138 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: was pitching against was gonna shut down the Yankees. You 139 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: just knew it was gonna happen. Six shutout innings, before 140 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: he issued his first walk. So the command has come 141 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: leaps and bounds from what we saw just a few 142 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: starts ago. And as I mentioned, a career best six 143 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: and a thirty innings, pitched just two hits, allowed no runs, 144 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: one walk, five strikeouts through six games. He's got a 145 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: three point one to ninety one point one seven, forty 146 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: strikeouts and thirty two thirds innings and he pitched fantastic tonight. 147 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: Not such an easy outing from Clay Hamilton, or play 148 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: him from Ian Hamilton. He put the first two runners 149 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,199 Speaker 1: on base in the bottom of the eighth, but then 150 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: Clay Holmes came in did a really nice job to 151 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: get out of it with a couple of strikeouts, and 152 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: then he had a good ninth inning. So Holmes one 153 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: and two thirds tonight, one hit aloud, no walks, three strikeouts, 154 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: sinker had a ton of sink and it was in 155 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: there at ninety seven ninety eight miles an hour. And 156 00:08:53,760 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees will not be swept. They win this one, 157 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: I says Chicken Farm with goldy tonight, got people wanting 158 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: to fire they hitting coach after a win. I love 159 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 1: the Yankees, man, and I love their fans. Let's try 160 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: and stay positive tonight. I mean, this is a big win, 161 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: great performance from Louis Heel. Got a lot of people saying, 162 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: Louise Hell for the belt for sure. Who's it gonna be? 163 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: What do you guys think? Co Belts, Cabrera and Heel. 164 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't ignore what we did against Corbyn Burns at 165 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: a time when he shut down the rest of the lineup. 166 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: Oswaldo Cabrera with one big swing of the bat, two 167 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: run homer just inside the foul pole, and of course 168 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: Louis Hill with the dominant, dominant performance. So we're going 169 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: with co belts. I hate to do it, but I 170 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: do it sometimes. And Maurizio Larranaga with a great point 171 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: about Holmes. What he's talking about is called tunneling. So 172 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: pitchers will try and get the baseball. I don't have 173 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: a baseball mirror, but they'll try and get the baseball 174 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: to look exactly the same coming out of the same 175 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: spot in their release, no matter what pitch. It is, 176 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: all right, right. So he's got a sinker and he's 177 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: got a slider, and he throws him from pretty much 178 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: the same exact spots, and he throws so hard that 179 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: the hitter has just a fraction of a second to 180 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: identify what pitch it is. And if they can't do that, 181 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: then they're screwed. And even if you know what's coming, 182 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 1: his stuff is filthy. That sinker was moving like a 183 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: foot tonight. Did you guys see that at ninety seven? 184 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the closest thing I can think of to 185 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: that is vintage Kevin Brown, although Brown I don't think 186 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: it has as much depth. I mean, I'm talking about 187 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: Brown before he came to the Yankees, like ninety eight. 188 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: Brown when he was with the San Diego Pod is't 189 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 1: pitched against us in the World Series. So anyway, twenty 190 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: wins for the Yankees, hopefully one fifth of the wins 191 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: that they will have at least this year, uh six, 192 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: twenty five winning percentage. But they do need to get 193 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: the offense squared away. I mean, I'm not I'm not 194 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: gonna lie to you. It's been a slow series offensively, 195 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: so obviously shut out in Game one, and then yesterday 196 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: they got two runs and then today two runs, so 197 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: four runs in three games after getting thirty runs in 198 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: two games. We're gonna take a look at the box 199 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: score here in just a second, and we will go 200 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: through so Volpio for four, Soto won for three, Judge 201 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 1: Oh for four, Stanton Oh for four, Rizzo Oh for four. 202 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: A lot of collars tonight, Torres oh for three, Grisham 203 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: oh for three, hitting eighty eight, Travino one for three, 204 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 1: Cabrera two for three. I will say this for Grishtam. 205 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: He plays a good, good outfield, Ferguson, nice job out 206 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: of the pen, and relief two thirds of an inning 207 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: both strikeouts era is too high for a relief pitcher, 208 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: though four point twenty six Whip one point twenty six 209 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: both elevated. I think Hamilton a third of an inning 210 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: with a walk just was not precise tonight, and then 211 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: Clay Holmes, they went to him for five outs because 212 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: they needed this win. Treating every game with more urgency 213 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: this year, at least from a managerial side. You're seeing 214 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees run the same lineups out there over and 215 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: over again. So let's take a look at Louise Heels stats. 216 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: They're showing him at a three point two to three, 217 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: but I think that's a little outdated. I had him 218 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: at three point one nine after his final pitch. But 219 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: either way, Clay Holmes now fifteen games, fourteen innings, fifteen strikeouts, 220 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: phenomenal career ERA down to three point sixty five. Remember 221 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: how bad it was when he came to the Yankees. 222 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: I mean he had era's a six point eight four, 223 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: five point five eight, and then the year he got traded, 224 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: it was at four point nine three. He comes to 225 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: the Yankees and almost immediately turned into an elite pitcher 226 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: one point six one, twenty eight innings, and then last 227 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: year two sorry year before that two point five to four, 228 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: last year two point eight six. Wow, we've had him 229 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: now four years, three and a half years, so it 230 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: doesn't seem like that long time flies when you're having 231 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: heart attacks. Anyway, Dave Benia says, if Judge returns to 232 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: old form and Cole comes back one hundred percent, Yankees 233 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: would finish with the best record in baseball. I think 234 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: I think there's more of a chance of Judge returning 235 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: to form than Garrett Cole being one hundred percent. The 236 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: elbow injuries worry me, especially with power pitchers. The way 237 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: these guys spin the ball. You know, you don't develop 238 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: a demo, which is swelling of a joint without you know, 239 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: being stress on that joint. Right, So whatever he's doing 240 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 1: was causing stress, the way he's pitching, the delivery, whatever 241 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: it is causing stress. Now you just hope that he 242 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: can make it through the rest of his contract without 243 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: any significant tear. But a lot of times, you know, 244 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: swelling and stress on the joint, that's kind of a 245 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: precursor to a tear. You know, it's a time bomb 246 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: for sure. The question is can he get through the contract. 247 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: We hope he can. We'll see. Remains to be seen. Judge, 248 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: another tough night. You know, hit now hitting two hundred 249 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: bad series. I figured the way he was swinging the 250 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: bat in Milwaukee and coming to a stadium we mentioned 251 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: where he's done so well, I figured he was going 252 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: to do great in this series. But he's had a 253 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: tough series. The numbers well below what you'd expect. He's 254 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: still gotten above average value as a player and as 255 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: a hitter. Power's been there. Tied for second on the 256 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: team in home runs with six. He drove in eighteen runs. 257 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: That's not a bad month driving eighteen runs. That's almost 258 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: one hundred RBIs season. But for Aaron Judge, it's less 259 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: than what we would expect, especially when you got you know, 260 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: Juan Soto in front of you. Looks like we got 261 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: over seven hundred in the chest. So let's go back 262 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: and watch through the highlights one more time in case 263 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: you missed it. We started right after the game ended. 264 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: So here's the pitch from heel ninety six down the middle, 265 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: but you know, sneaks up on you and so he's 266 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: able to get the out and then again ninety seven 267 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: up and away, ninety eight down on the zone. So 268 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: the velocity was there. It's always there. He's got what 269 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: they would call easy gas. He doesn't have to go 270 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: max effort and he can still get in there ninety 271 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: five ninety six, but he can dial it up when 272 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: he needs to and get it up to ninety eight 273 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: ninety nine. We've seen him at triple digits. Here's the 274 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: home run, ninety five down and in and Cabrera golfs 275 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: it just over the three eighteen sign. I believe they 276 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: said it was three hundred and fifty two feet, So hey, 277 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: you'll take it. You will absolutely take it, all right. 278 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: Robert Ryan says we need Dougie back in the lineup, 279 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: so good news on that front. He's flying back tonight. 280 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: And Aaron Boone thinks he could be in the lineup tomorrow, 281 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: and you know what that means, dad power. How many 282 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: times have you seen guys come back from paternity leave 283 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: and the first thing they do is hit a home run. 284 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: I wonder if it's some kind of an unspoken rule. 285 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: You know, Bryce Harper did it not more than a 286 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: week ago. You know, this guy's coming back from paternity leave. 287 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: Let's give him a fastball, and it's just kind of 288 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: something they expect. You know, his timing's going to be off. 289 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: Let's give him a fastball. We'll see. If the first 290 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: pitch to u Verdugo is a fastball tomorrow down the middle, 291 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: we'll see and that'll kind of, you know, let us know. 292 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: You know, I doubt they'll do it in an interdivisional 293 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: game like this, but you know, I feel like there's 294 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: a little conspiracy there. You know, so many guys going 295 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: getting that instant dad muscles or either that or it's 296 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 1: just like you know, the weight of the world from 297 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: the you know, the intense pregnancy and the weight, and 298 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: then you know you're feeling lighter, you're feeling looser, you're 299 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: in a good mood, and you go deep. So anyway, 300 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see what Verdugo does tomorrow. So 301 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 1: Matt Moreno says Ai has got a craft Judge a 302 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: new toe. Yeah, I don't know that. The yeah yeah. 303 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: Trout also hit a whole run when first first game 304 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: back from from paternity leave. So that's the one thing 305 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 1: that worries me about Judge is that he might have 306 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: some kind of an injury that he's hiding. You know, 307 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: this spring training he dealt with the ab muscle or whatever, 308 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: but it was so bad that he had an MRI. 309 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: But we didn't hear anything about the toe other than 310 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: it needs maintenance, regular maintenance. You know. So last year 311 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: after he came back from the injury, I've said this 312 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 1: a number of times recently. I feel like I'm on 313 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: a broken record. Here, two three home run games, and 314 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: he was basically on a you know, fifty to sixty 315 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: home run pace after the injury. You know, I was 316 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: at the game where he hit three home runs against 317 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks and he looked fine. I think his swing 318 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: is just discombobulated. I think he's chasing too many sliders away. 319 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: I think he needs to work on recognizing that pitch 320 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: he's He's hitting a lot of ground balls, a lot 321 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: of choppers, so there's something with the swing path. I 322 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: feel like, when you're early, you can hit ground balls, 323 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: and when you're late you hit pop ups. I feel 324 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 1: like that's I've spent a long time since I've played 325 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 1: competitive baseball against any kind of decent fastball, but I 326 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: feel like that's that's what I felt. Isaiah Lorenzo with 327 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: the super Chat says, hear me out, Soda would be 328 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: great in the leadoff spot. VOLTI two and Judge three. 329 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: Dougie cleaned up Sodo patient chance to give you a 330 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: home run and the ops. I've seen that suggested a 331 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: few times. We got a caller that's said that the 332 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: other day.
