In 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: the Bronx, Garrett Cole was making his first start of 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,760 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four season.

Welcome to my 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: guest tonight, former teammate of Garrett Cole, mister Eric Kratz. 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 2: First of all, happy belated birthday. How is post MLB 15 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: life at forty four? 16 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: It's tremendous. It's tremendous. You don't have to worry about 17 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: eating like during the season. You can't have that much 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: cake you filled the next day. Now I canna have 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 1: like three days of cake. 20 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: I just turned forty two about a month ago and 21 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: had pretty much my third or fourth salad. I decided 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: it's time to start mixing in a salad once a 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 2: month or so. Eventually, it'll get down to once a week, 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 2: and then once the arteries are are are functioning properly, 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 2: you know, then we'll we'll mix it in a little 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: bit more. But you know, I was mentioning this to 27 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: Kratz before we started. We've been coworkers now for one 28 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: year today. One year I started with foul Territory. So 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 2: congrats on dealing with me for a year. Right, you 30 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: should got a free bullet soup? She got a free bullet? 31 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 3: Sup for that? 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: With that that that you got? 33 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, so well that's funny. 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: Is so I almost killed Krats one day we had 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 2: we had somebody on the show. I can't remember where 36 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 2: the writer was from, but it was obviously I am. 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 2: The guy was getting ready to go on the show, 39 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: and the marketing person say, hey, why don't you put 40 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: on one of our hats to show off the you know, 41 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: and it was the it's one of those paper hats 42 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: with the station logo or whatever. And I said to 43 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: Kratz in the chat, I said, I wonder if he 44 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: got a free bowl of soup with that hat. And 45 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: Krats couldn't talk for the entire segment because he was 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: I was. 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: I was out. I was out, and I think that's 48 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: actually it's a Miami Herald hat. I saw him interviewing 49 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: the when when Peter Bendix, whatever he did, he talked, 50 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: he didn't, you know, whatever the speaking that he was 51 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: doing was. It was brutal, but he had the same 52 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 1: hat on. The reporter had the same hat on, So 53 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: I think that's his go to. 54 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, let me ask you this, judge. Out of 55 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: the lineup today, they had an opportunity to pinch hit 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: for or with him later in the game. They didn't 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: do it. You've taken pitches off the hand. I'm sure 58 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 2: you've taken foul tips off the hand, all sorts of stuff. 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: How's he feeling today. 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: It's clearly sore. Clearly he came in and they did treatment, 61 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: and they weren't willing to push it for him, because 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: when you have everything is connected. If your hand is 63 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: hurting and you go to take a swing, now, all 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're compensating with something else. Maybe a 65 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: shoulder goes, maybe a wrist goes. They're just giving it 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: a day and that is totally fine, even if they 67 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: give him the day game tomorrow too. 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, hopefully he gets feeling better. We could have 69 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 3: used him tonight. 70 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: Garrett Cole threw sixty two pitches tonight, only gave up 71 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: one run. He had a second run that was charged 72 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: to him from Marnaccio. But overall, I thought he was 73 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 2: pretty good. Fastball topped out at ninety seven point five. 74 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 2: He had six swings and misses. He had the cutter working, 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 2: change up was good. I thought the curveball was pretty sharp. 76 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: He through some breaking balls that I thought he would 77 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: usually use, like put away curveballs early in the count, 78 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: like bouncing him, you know what I mean. Like, I 79 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: don't know if he was quite in that rhythm yet. 80 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: He started to get more strikeouts middle of the game. 81 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: But what'd you think overall of Garrett Cole. 82 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: I think it's exactly what you said. I think what 83 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: he was doing was he was trying to get through 84 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: this outing and then he started sniffing some strikeouts. And 85 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: when he was sniffing in these strikeouts, he's like, Okay, 86 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get after it. I liked the at bat 87 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: with Henderson. He went, I'm sorry, Rutchman. He went change 88 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 1: up three to one, and Rutchman he was he was 89 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: flummoxed by that pitch. Because then he goes curveball right 90 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: after the change up. Normally, normally you're gonna go curveball 91 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: then change up. Yeah, and he went backwards there, So 92 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: he's clearly in competitive mode. And that at bat really 93 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: to me turned it where then he was like, I 94 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: think that was like the second or third strikeout in 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: a row when he had like ended up having five 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: and two innings. To me, it's when he like it 97 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: looked like he kind of settled into like, Okay, this 98 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: is a big leagues like, this is this is what 99 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: I do. This is what Garrett does. 100 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, he definitely settled in. That was obvious. 101 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: So there's I'm glad we had you on tonight. As 102 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: a former major league catcher, you obviously understand the position 103 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: very well. You said something to me in the green room, 104 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: so to speak, that Travino doesn't look right. Obviously, they've 105 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 2: stolen a lot of basses off him recently. Red Sox 106 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 2: got nine steals the other day. There's been some talk about, 107 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 2: you know, is it the Yankees pitchers just being too 108 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: slow to the plate. You know, Stroman was in the game, 109 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 2: and then they stole off the bullpen pitchers as well. 110 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: Tonight they stole with Garrett Cole on the mound. They 111 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: stole with the relief pitchers on the mound. They're just 112 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: running on Travino. Is there something that you can identify 113 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: that's allowing runners to steal this much on Travino? 114 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go eighty percent. It's the pictures and that's 115 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: that might be a high number. It might I didn't 116 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: see all nine stolen bases the other night. The ones 117 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: I saw tonight, it was four of the Was it 118 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: five Stonle bases or four tonight? 119 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: I think it was five. 120 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: Let me just double check real quick, So it was 121 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: Henderson had two, Mowens had, so it's four. 122 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: Henderson had two, Mowens had two. 123 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Three of the four, we're definitely on the pitcher. The 124 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: difference is, I don't see that makeup arm strength right 125 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: now where you can make it up, where you can 126 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: make up the time from from Trevino's mitt to second base. 127 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: You see Ali Rutchman, he had makeup arm strength right there, 128 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: and to me, I'm used to seeing that with Travino. 129 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: So in no way are these these stone bases a 130 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: direct reflection on Hosey. It just looks like and actually 131 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: Joe Girardi was talking about it on the Yankees cast 132 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: that he's like, it looks like there's like a little 133 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: bit of a hitch in Travigno's throw, And I would agree, 134 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: I don't know that's a hitch. It just looks like 135 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: he can't load up to get that ball out quick 136 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: with velocity because he's always been a real risty flick 137 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: the ball and it just it would just explode out 138 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: of his hand. And right now it doesn't look like 139 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: he has that arm strength to make it up. And 140 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't know what his times are. We can look 141 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff up, so I don't know what his 142 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: times are. But reality is it's majority of the pitchers. 143 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't seem to have that f U. 144 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Plus that that Walker Bueller is missing right now, that 145 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 2: that that intangible. All right, So there were two bean 146 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: balls tonight. Colton Kowser and Gunner Henderson both got drilled. 147 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 2: Judge and Glaber obviously got hit yesterday. 148 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: Is it over? 149 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: If you're on the Yankees and the Orioles, you're you 150 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: know you you you play for a lot of teams. 151 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: How how do you How does the team handle it 152 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: when it's kind of even you know, it's too two. 153 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: Is somebody thinking all right, I gotta I gotta get 154 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: one up? Or are you saying, all right, we don't 155 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 2: want to let this escalate. 156 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: You don't want to let it escalate your two teams 157 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: that are playing in the play for the playoff spots, 158 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: let alone the division, and you don't want guys getting hurt. 159 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Nobody in the Orioles wants Aaron Judge to get hurt. 160 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: Nobody on the Orioles thinks, oh well, we can't throw 161 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: inside to Aaron Judge because we don't want him getting hurt. No, 162 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: you still gotta throw inside. I think today, I think 163 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: the pitch too. And this is all based on intent. 164 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Gonzalez is the only one that can tell you. But 165 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: to me, I thought that pitch was on purpose. It 166 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: was Gunner Henderson. The score was what it was and 167 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: at the time, and I don't think the one the 168 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: Cawser was. I think the one that kowser. Cawser just 169 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: got pissed because you got balls coming up and in 170 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 1: and you're a left on left, you're trying to stay 171 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: in there, and when that gets up in there, you're 172 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: you're kind of situating. And really it was too to 173 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: this series, but it's like seven or eight to three. 174 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: The Yankees have hit way more Orioles. So if I'm 175 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: the Orioles, I'm okay trying to take a shot. I 176 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: don't take a shot at Judge tomorrow. I'm okay taking 177 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: a shot at g if you're taking a shot. I 178 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: don't think they will because I think they are supremely 179 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: focused on winning the games. 180 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think John carl would be the last 181 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: guy I would throw at because he really could just 182 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: separate your head from your body. 183 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 3: I think for most most people. All right, let's get 184 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 3: to the recap. Let's go through the game. Let's get 185 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: it going. 186 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 2: First batter of the game was a hard one hopper 187 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 2: to Taurus's left, bounced off his glove, went into right field. 188 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: Did you happen to see that play live? Did you 189 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: think Touris should have had that? 190 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 3: I did? 191 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: I did. I mean he hit it hard, He hit 192 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 1: it hard, and you'd never say wow if he didn't 193 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: touch it, like it wouldn't have been a double, like 194 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: you gotta try to get it. It just seemed like 195 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: it was that in between, like it kind of got 196 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: on him a little bit. If he dives, it might 197 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: hit him in the chest, like, you know, it's a 198 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: hard it's a hard one. I just if if Glabor 199 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: had didn't have the struggles that he's had defensively so 200 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: far this year, then I then I think nobody would 201 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: be questioning it. But he has, and you're like, is 202 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: he losing a step? Was he not ready on that pitch? 203 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: All those things come into mind. 204 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, So he came around to score Henderson that was 205 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 2: came around to score on a double off the bat 206 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: of O'Hearn. I thought that was a really great piece 207 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: of hitting by O'Hearn. It looked like Cole was trying 208 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: to bury the breaking ball down and in for that strikeout, 209 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: but he kind of left it over the outer part 210 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 2: of the plate and he was just able to square 211 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: it up. Good effort by Verdugo. Verdugo had a lot 212 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: of effort tonight in the outfield. We'll talk about that. 213 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: Another outstanding defensive play from Anthony Volpi in the top 214 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: of the second. He continues to make great play after 215 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: great play, and he might not even win the Gold 216 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: Glove this year because of the way Bobby Witt is 217 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: playing in KC. 218 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Volpi? 219 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Defensively, it's another level. Like when you talk about big 220 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: league shortstops, there's there's only thirty in the game, and 221 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: all thirty of them really probably aren't big league starting 222 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: shortstops or just playing the position right now. And when 223 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: you have a guy like that who is so young, 224 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: he already has one Gold Glove, it's so impressive. What's 225 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: impressive about him? We were talking about it was Jorge 226 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Matteo hit the ball up the middle late in the 227 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 1: game and I think it was ninth or tenth th inning, 228 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: I forget, and he was able to square that ball up. 229 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: And what I mean by square it up, he's fielding 230 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: it right in the middle of his body and not 231 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: like feeling it on the run where he's reaching out 232 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: with his glove to try to get it and like 233 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: slinging across his body and making the play his range 234 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: right now, I just I just don't understand it. The 235 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: diving play early in the game two, where he spun 236 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: around the combination of his feet, his quickness, his hands 237 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: being rarely rarely does he have a transfer from glove 238 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: to hand that is fumbled, and all that is coupled 239 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: with the fact that he is got a Bazooka for 240 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: an arm. He's a joy to watch. You know. 241 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: The metrics say that his arm isn't really that strong. 242 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: I think it's just the release. I think he's just 243 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: got a really really quick release. He's like Marino, you know, 244 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: just just get you know, dropping back and darting it 245 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: out there. 246 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 3: You know, That's the way I look at it. 247 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 2: But Garrett Cole was done after four innings tonight, three hits, 248 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: two runs, one walk, five strikeouts. You really began to 249 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: hit his stride. I think in about the third inning 250 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 2: he got a couple of strikeouts, a couple more in 251 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: the fourth. We saw the fastball touch ninety eight on 252 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: the radar gun. It's actually ninety seven point five. We're 253 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 2: gonna round up. Change up was dirty. Cutter was good. 254 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: He was throwing the kitchen sink. Did he look healthy 255 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: to you? He looked healthy to me. 256 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: He looked healthy to me. I mean, besides the fact 257 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: that he stopped him at sixty two pitches. That makes 258 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: me a little like, I mean, I get it, like 259 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: I thought he'd be at least seventy five. And I 260 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: know you're not gonna push him. But he looked healthy 261 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: and coming back from an elbow. That is much easier 262 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: than coming back from a shoulder or lat. Where I 263 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: saw Verlander last year when he came back from his 264 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: lat to start the season, it looked like he was 265 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: laboring and he had almost a different motion. Now, look, 266 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: Verlander still had a three ERA, so he was fine. 267 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: But I didn't see that from Garrett. I didn't see 268 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: that like laboring to get the ball to the plate. 269 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: It looked fluid and easy and not like a little eh, 270 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna hold a little bit. The one 271 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: thing that I thought was cool was he was going 272 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: ninety four ninety four and then Henderson gets that double 273 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: and then he goes, well, I guess I got to 274 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: turn it up a little bit right, and it was 275 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: It was nothing below ninety seven the rest of that inning. 276 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: I know he gave up the round O'Hearn, but that 277 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: was a you know, a spun breaking ball that stayed 278 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: out over the plate for a guy who can't hit 279 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: the ball in. He just didn't execute it. But man, 280 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: oh man like to see that nine one ninety eight 281 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: that he popped and a lot of ninety sevens, that 282 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: is a great sign. 283 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he would throw more pitches, just because 284 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: he was up to like seventy in his last rehab outing, 285 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: and usually you go up by like fifteen. So I 286 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: was counting on about eighty five pitches tonight. 287 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: I think I was thinking seventy five because I think 288 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: he threw seventy or seventy two in his last rehab assignment. 289 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think of seventy, but you know. 290 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: Okay, it was seventy Okay, So I was thinking seventy 291 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: five just because you're running. If he does another rehab assignment, 292 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: I think he goes eighty five down in the bushes, 293 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: but you're running a little bit different adrenaline. You just 294 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: can't back off of that adrenaline. So I think that 295 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: seventy five sets him up, would have set him up 296 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: for ninety. Now we're looking at like, is he even 297 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: gonna be able to throw eighty next time? You know? 298 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: And that's so that was that was weird to me, 299 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: But clearly they had a plan, and unfortunately it got him, 300 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: got him the loss. 301 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: Well, he did leave with a standing ovation and the 302 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: game tied one. One second run that he allowed came 303 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: on a home run served up by Ron Marnaccio. 304 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: Time to stop throwing the bars. 305 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: So Marinacchio had a tough night and we were talking 306 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: before the show. He's probably gonna get sent down because 307 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: Yankees are gonna need another arm. And he threw thirty 308 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: four pitches, wasn't full on anybody. 309 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: He wasn't And it's weird to me. It looks like 310 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: without breaking down Ron Marnacchio's stuff, it just looks like 311 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: he's not finishing. Every pitch is exactly the same. Not 312 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: that he's tipping the pitches. It just looks when he 313 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: was nasty, when he was on, everything looked exactly the 314 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: same out of his hand, and it just didn't quite 315 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: look like that. But I also have to say the 316 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: innings that he gave him, or the pitches that he 317 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: gave him, will save them for Game three because he 318 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: kind of wore it and he's gonna wear it because 319 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: he's got to go most likely go down to the bushes, 320 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: back on that bus to Scranton. But you know what, 321 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: it's the big leagues like, you can't, you gotta you 322 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. 323 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see here. So another one I want to 324 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: get your opinion on. We've had a few people message 325 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: about this. Ben Rice, he smoked one three ninety eight 326 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: to the. 327 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: Left field wall. 328 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: It's three ninety nine though unfortunately out there, great catch 329 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 2: by Mowens. We gotta give Mowens just a tip of 330 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: the cap on that when he ran that shit down. 331 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: What do you think of ben Rice's swing so far? 332 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: And does he remind you of anyone in particular? I 333 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: already told you he reminds me of a little bit 334 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: of Roberto Alomar. 335 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you said that, and I watched it. 336 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I love 337 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: his plate discipline and so you you didn't hate my 338 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: my comp But I see, maybe because his pants are up, 339 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: I really see some Greg Bird in him in the 340 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: sense that he controls the strike zone really well. He 341 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: doesn't expand a ton, but he actually strikes out less 342 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: than what Bird did in the minor leagues. So to me, 343 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 1: you have a guy and he's sneaky, big too. He 344 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: was catching some in the minor leagues. It kind of 345 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: gives them that flexibility to you know, put Austin Wells 346 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: in the game to pinch run. He can get behind 347 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: a dish. I don't think he will, but I love 348 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: what I love what his approach is. We saw him 349 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: last year a little bit at summerset and he was 350 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: having some success. But you have to be up in 351 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: the big leagues if you're putting up the numbers that 352 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: he's putting up and the person playing in his position, 353 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo, was not doing it. 354 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 2: Are the Yankees just put you on the spot? Are 355 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: they going to be better offensively with Rice for the 356 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 2: next let's say eight weeks, So they put Rizzo on 357 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 2: the sixty day IL, so he's gonna be out two 358 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 2: months over the next eight weeks, They're gonna be better 359 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: offensively with Rice at first base. 360 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: Then with Rizzo, does Rizzo continue need to do what 361 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: he was doing? 362 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the question. I mean, do you think 363 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: he was gonna come around or was it just a 364 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: slump or the beginning of the end. That's the calculus. 365 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: No, see, I believe he was gonna come around. And 366 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: maybe that's the ignorant player in me. But some of 367 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: the things that I was seeing from Rizzo early in 368 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: the season is his timing was way off. And I 369 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: know the whole concussion stuff is it's a real thing, 370 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: and he was grinding through that last year, so he 371 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: had grooved in this certain timing that to me looked off, 372 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: and he kind of carried that into these last like 373 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: forty games. It was really for me, it was like, 374 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: does he know he's late? Is he trying to be 375 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: late and trying to go the other way? Trying to 376 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: just battle because you're still putting together good at bats. 377 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: But to me, a problem like that, I feel like 378 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: a veteran guy fixed it. Ken ben Rice do what 379 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Rizzo was doing. Yeah, absolutely he can because it 380 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: wasn't a lot. But I feel like you need a 381 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: guy like ben I mean, a guy like Anthony Rizzo 382 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: in the lineup. It just creates even if you don't 383 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: think he's doing well, it creates a problem. It creates 384 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: a problem for the other team. And Ben Rice has 385 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: not been through that fire. He has not. I'm not 386 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: sure what his name was. Perez down in the bushes. 387 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 1: They're not bringing Perez in to face him in his 388 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: third at bat. He's going to get lefty, lefty, lefty, lefty, 389 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 1: and they're going to try to expose him of that. 390 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: But in his defense, I think he puts together great 391 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: at bats. If you look at his numbers in the 392 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: minor leagues, as far as walks to strikeouts. He knows 393 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: the strike zone. He got a big league take tonight 394 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: late in the game. I think it was his fifth 395 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: at bat, and so it's there. But I really think 396 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: you would rather have Rizzo. But this is why good 397 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: teams make it as far as they do, because they 398 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: have depth like a Ben Rice that can come in 399 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: and do really He's gonna do really well. I see 400 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: him hitting two fifty would be an absolute explosion of 401 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: offense for the Yankees at first base. 402 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, with a little bit of pop. I mean, he 403 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 2: drove the ball well tonight. We got a comment here 404 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: from Jason Thomas in the lions Den somehow in trouble 405 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: with my mouth, but he says that wasn't Greg Bird 406 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: a flop. He wasn't until he got hurt. I want 407 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: to you know, he came up and he did really, 408 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: really well. But once a guy gets hurt, you know, 409 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: especially at Torren Labrom with his swing the way he 410 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 2: had that one arm extension, you know, I mean that 411 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 2: you're never gonna be right after that. 412 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 3: He's tearing it. 413 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: Up in the Mexican League right now, and Wander Franco 414 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 2: tearing it up in the California Penal League. So yeah, 415 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: I remember Roberto Alomar had that two handed kind of 416 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: kind of finish, and that's why he kind of it 417 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: reminds me of like a hockey shot, you know. That's 418 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: that's what I see. Oil's got three runs in the fifth. 419 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 2: Ron Marinaccio had a tough night. Yankees bullpens kind of 420 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: in shambles. They definitely need to go out and get 421 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: some more arms, you know, whether it's digging in the 422 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: minor leagues or or you know, making a trade. At 423 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 2: some point we can talk about that after the recap, 424 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: you know what you would do as the GM. But 425 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: Yankees loaded the bases in the sixth inning, good at 426 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 2: bat by Rice to work a walk. Trevigno also walked, 427 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 2: but Jami Jones pinch it for Grisham and hit a 428 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: soft flyout to center field on the first pitch, and 429 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 2: that was probably the biggest a bat of the game 430 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 2: to that point. Oils tacked on in the seventh against Kinley. 431 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 2: He shaves his entire body after every bad outing. He's 432 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: gonna need a new razor soon. It's got to be 433 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 2: getting dull. It might be time to go full head shave. 434 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: Like like Cratzy, just just get out because he's still 435 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: got a full head of hair. That might be the 436 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: only cure to this thing. 437 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: That might be the only cure or finding his vlo 438 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: back again. Yeah, and maybe he needs just a few 439 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: more outings to get that vello back, or maybe it 440 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: won't come back. I don't know, because he doesn't have 441 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: that separation and the splitter and the heater. That's that's tough. 442 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: That's tough because he lived, he lived on that and 443 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: that's what made him so nasty. 444 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yankees got back on the board in the bottom 445 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 2: of the seventh courtesy of John Carlo. 446 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: Stanton. 447 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: John Carlos Stanton hicks him out. 448 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: Gee, you man, monster shot into Monument Park four hundred 449 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 2: and forty feet. 450 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 3: I'll tell you, John Carlo had a good night. 451 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: He had that he had the one hundred and twenty 452 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 2: mile hour hit nextra innings, which we'll talk about. But 453 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: you got any good John Carlo stories from your time 454 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: As his teammate. 455 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: We used to call him Jonky ball game and because 456 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 1: he's just I mean he is he is just an 457 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: absolute unit and he is so like just quiet, reserved, 458 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: like it's unbelievable. Like, how perfect of a man he is. 459 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: But I always said he got he got all his 460 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: all his gear like customized. So it's like arm sleeves 461 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: said G. All over it, his cleats, his batting gloves 462 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: said G. And I'm like, I'm like gee.

I was like, you're incredibly 466 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: good looking, your incredible shape, and you get all this 467 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: customized stuff. I was like, I am neither of those things, 468 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: and I can't get customized stuff. Am I Which of 469 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: my initials am I going to get on on any 470 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: kind of baseball anything? E and K easily the two 471 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: worst initials you can have in all of baseball. And 472 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: he goes, he goes, you know what, I think you're right, you. 473 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 3: Do a good John Carlo. 474 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: My initials are D L, so I probably had a 475 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: you know, a future on the injured list if I 476 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 2: are disabled list back in the But yeah, John Carlo, 477 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: good night tonight. The unbelievable catch by Verdugo in center 478 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: field in the top of the ninth ran one down. 479 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 2: He hasn't played much centerfield but I mean just outstanding catch. 480 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 2: Bottom nine volte let off with a big double down 481 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: the left field line, third hit of the night, eleventh 482 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: double of the season for him. John Carlo ripped another 483 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: base hit one hundred and twenty off the bat, and 484 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 2: then the Orioles got to Clay Holmes. I mean we 485 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: talked a little bit about, you know, whether or not 486 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 2: we need more relief pitching, whether or not he's a closer. 487 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 2: Do you think Clay Holmes is the right guy to 488 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 2: be a closer? Does he allow too much contact? 489 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean that's always going to be the thing. 490 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: For a single bar for a single he does well. 491 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean he gets he gets a decent amount of 492 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: strikeouts because it sinks so much. But the reality is, 493 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: what is that pitch gonna look like in a pressure 494 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: pack situation when you need like a runner on second 495 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: base and extra innings, when you need that punch out, 496 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: when you cannot afford to give up a ground ball 497 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: out that moves the runner up. I just I don't know, 498 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: And maybe that's you know, I say the same thing 499 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: about you your canoe. You near cano gave up the 500 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: rocket that g hit to center field. I just am 501 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm leary of your closer being a sinker ball guy, 502 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: but I also understand that he's been your guy for 503 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: a minute. Now. You can't you can't just I don't 504 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: see them going out and getting a closer and being like, hey, Clay, 505 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: beat it. I think they've already made their El Nino 506 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: El Nino Torres once Mason Miller, well, sorry, not gonna 507 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: have Naga, not. 508 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 3: Gonna get him, and that guy got not gonna get him. 509 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 2: All right, Well, the Yankees drop a tough one to 510 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: the Orioles seven to six. 511 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: Good day there, you ain't burst your laugh. 512 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: They did have a nice little uh threat there in 513 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 2: the bottom half of the tenth, but couldn't get it done. 514 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: So series is tied one one. 515 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: Having watched you know, two games between these teams, I 516 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: feel like the Yankees are putting up a better fight 517 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 2: than they put up in Baltimore when they last went 518 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 2: into town. But uh, you know, we we didn't have 519 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: Verdugo in that first matchup with with Baltimore. We don't 520 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 2: have Judge. Now this time, we didn't have Sodo versus 521 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: the Dodgers. I feel like against the best competition the 522 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: Yankees have had this year, they've been hamstrung a little bit. 523 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: That's a fair statement. But the Orioles don't have bradish. 524 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: The Orioles aren't throwing burns. You know, you're you're getting. 525 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: Don't see Grayson Rodriguez in this series. You're you're getting. 526 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: You're just everybody. You know. You gotta you gotta beat 527 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: each team, even if it's the best teams with all 528 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: twenty six guys, and you sit there and go, okay, 529 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: one game one had a chance at this game. That's 530 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: that's the toughest part is now you've thrown homes two 531 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: nights in a row. So you need a big to me, 532 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: it's time. It's time for Heal to throw seven innings. 533 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: You need to go into this game. If he gives 534 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: you seven, this is victory and a series, a series 535 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: win which you get a series win against the O's 536 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: right now. The way that they're playing that that is 537 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: that is a statement series. 538 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to the final thoughts here as 539 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,959 Speaker 2: we wrap it up, Louis heel on the mound tomorrow. 540 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: I think there's a real shot he could start the 541 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: All Star Game if he has one or two good 542 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: starts now in you know, as we as we come 543 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 2: closer and closer. We're about less than three weeks away 544 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: now from the All Star Game. He puts up two 545 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,239 Speaker 2: more really good starts like he's been putting up. I 546 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 2: think you got to start him. 547 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 1: I don't know how you don't unless he pitches before. 548 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean, who had Louise heal and showed it Imenaga 549 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: as the matchup in the National League versus the American League. Like, 550 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:27,199 Speaker 1: it's incredible what he's doing. And Yankee fans have to 551 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: be exuberant the fact that this is Garrett Cole's first 552 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: start of the season today. 553 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, thanks to all the members, to everyone who's 554 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 2: tuned in.
