They 12 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: went three straight from a Tiger's team that, in my opinion, 13 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: is on the rise.

I can look on 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 2: my phone really fast. 25 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: That's good. Nobody cares. All right, let's go. 26 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: Ahead, let's go with that. 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: All right, let's go ahad and put up the highlights 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: for everybody who's just joining us. So a pretty good 29 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: day today for Nestor Cortes. He got off to a 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: hot start, had a couple of strikeouts in the first inning. 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: You see a Banyez chasing up and away at the 32 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: cutter ConA mark Kana. I think I said that ra's 33 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: a cannon Arkana. I don't know. Seven miss Kenna. Okay, 34 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: Judge going deep, Judge looking good lately. Opo bopo three 35 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine feet. Watched the crowd reaction, the 36 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: crowd that was there. I love watching that side view 37 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: and the fieldview from MLB dot com. Beautiful, beautiful, And 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: he's been very much on time the last couple of days. 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: Ninety six, the other night, leading off the ninth inning, 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 1: ninety seven yesterday, line drive to right field, that one 41 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: was ninety seven, and he goes Opo Boppo one hundred 42 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 1: and nine point three exit velocity. Nester Cortes got back 43 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: at it, gets a sweeper there, and then John Birdie, 44 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: welcome back, first game back in the lineup, gets the 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: bloop single he would come around to score on the 46 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: opposite field. Double from Oswaldo Cabrera, who's got nineteen RBIs 47 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: off to a very solid start. Nestor getting back to 48 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: work in the fifth, getting the strikeout there on the 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: change up. Change up was filthy today, absolutely filthy. Baiez 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: hitting one to right field, Juan Soto tracking it in 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: the rain drops, not easy to do. Get another strikeout 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: on the sweeper of meadows now bailing the hips out. 53 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Just beautiful day from Nestor Cortez in the muck. In 54 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: the muck, Top seven gets another strikeout of Green there. 55 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Riley Green had a tough series, but he comes out 56 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: of the game, gives up. Sorry it was Hamilton gave 57 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: up a double. Hamilton does not seem sharp. And then 58 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: we had a double playball that probably hit too slowly 59 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: to turn two. But mon Soto bails everybody out. Bass 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Is clearing double three runs on the board, another level swing. 61 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: The man is great, Judge is pumped and the Yankees 62 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: win it. What do you think of the game today? 63 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: TK A good game all around. I mean it's when 64 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: you're playing conditions like this, it's always tough. I always 65 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: hated it, especially pitching wise, So Nestor was really impressive 66 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: because pitching in this kind of condition is quite difficult. 67 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: The ball feel heavier, the ball's kind of slipping out 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: of your hand. You can't really get a solid grip 69 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 2: on it. And there's like that coldness as well, with 70 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: like the ball kind of stings your hand when you 71 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: catch it. So good, good all around, good old fashioned 72 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 2: Northeast baseball there. But you know, Juan Soto, man, where 73 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: would they be without him? I feel like they'd be 74 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: like it probably be like seven games worse if Juan 75 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 2: Soda was not a Yankee right now, I'd go ahead 76 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: and say that. 77 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: I gotta say he is living up to you know, 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: he's as advertised as. 79 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: You just gonna say that as advertised. Definitely. 80 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, So we gotta have to break out the check 81 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: book here for one Soda. Let's get to some of 82 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: the finer details. But first reminder to like and subscribe 83 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: off day for the Yankees. Tomorrow. But we're still gonna 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: do a voicemail show, so don't be a dingling, give 85 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: us a ring a ling. Seven nine sixty eight. Chat 86 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: is filling up. Let's go, let's get it going, let's 87 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: talk it through. So the game plan against Tarik's Rickterrick Treek, 88 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: I think it's trix scool in the first inning seemed 89 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: to be to take the ball to right field. Anthony 90 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: Volpi hit one to the warning track, and then Aaron 91 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: Judge in his first at bat after being ejected. 92 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: That's another a rock for job, All right, come good, Judge. 93 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: Seven PM. Round of this season, ninety seven mile an 94 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: hour fastball, as I mentioned, one hundred and nine miles 95 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: an hour off the bat. He had two hits yesterday, 96 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: another multi extra base hit game. Today. He had the 97 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: big hit to start off the inning on Friday night, 98 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 1: So it looks like he's heating up. What do you think, 99 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: TKZ back? 100 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking about this like he just had 101 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: to get ejected to get going right. So there's gonna 102 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: be pre ejection judge stats and post ejection. Somebody's gonna 103 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: come up with that. I'm sure, But I think I 104 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: said last show just I feel like May, he's gonna 105 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: start to heat up. It's been a month of the season. 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: We were I would saying the lack of spring training 107 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 2: at bats is probably you know what, the slow start 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: had a lot to do with. But I mean now 109 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,239 Speaker 2: he's had a good amount of at bats. He's seeing 110 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: the ball better. It seems like hitting the ball. The 111 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 2: concerning thing about him was those like heaters down the middle, 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 2: those middle middle pitches. He was he was like popping 113 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: them up. He was late on them. But maybe he 114 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: made some mechanical adjustments. Not sure whatever he did. I 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe he just got pissed off or getting 116 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: ejected and he's like, you know what, you know, watch this, 117 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: So I'm back baby. That's that's that's what it is 118 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: exciting to see even that pitch up and in there. 119 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 2: To get around to that, that's that's tough to do that. So, 120 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: uh yeah, we needed him to get going. And I 121 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: do think prediction here he's gonna have a big May 122 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: and kind of kind of get the season turned around 123 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: for him a little bit and have a little bit 124 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: more of a judge and judging and stat line the 125 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 2: next month or so. 126 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think with a big May, he can make 127 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: everybody forget about this bolt. Sorry. I mean when when 128 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: you look up at the end of the May and 129 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: he's he's got you know, twelve thirteen home runs, he's 130 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: you know, among the tops in the league at that point, 131 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, he's probably gonna be hitting two and by 132 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: then I think he's gonna have a good month. So 133 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not worried in the least. And like 134 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: you said, the problems was the problems were that he 135 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: was swinging through you know, ninety three down the middle, 136 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: ninety four down the middle. But now the last couple 137 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: of days he's hitting that high octane stuff, So I'm 138 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: not worried about him. Oswaldo Cabrera had that opposite field double. 139 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: I was surprised he was even in the lineup today. 140 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: They gave Rizzo the day off. Rizzo had been swinging 141 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: a hot bat, but day off against a tough lefty, 142 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: you get it. And with the day off tomorrow and 143 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: nineteenth RBI of the season for Oswaldo also picked up 144 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: a line drive single in the top of the fifth, 145 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: so good at bats from the right side against one 146 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: of the better left handed pitchers in the game. Yankees 147 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: wasted a lead off double from Judge in the bottom 148 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: of the second or a bottom six sorry, another opposite 149 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: field shot, And then we got to talk about Nestor Cortes. 150 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: He was done after six and the third innings only 151 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: three hits, allowed two runs, both of which scored after 152 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: he left the game as inherited runners one one, nine strikeouts. 153 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: On the season, he's made eight starts, He's got a 154 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,679 Speaker 1: three point seven to ERA forty eight and third innings 155 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: forty five strikeouts, eight walks, So nice ratio there, and 156 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: the whip is very solid one point oh three. So 157 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: I ask you, is nesterback? 158 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: It certainly seems that way eight games in. You kind 159 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: of have to say, that's a pretty large enough sample 160 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: size to make a call like that, and we needed 161 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: him to be back at this season. I remember in 162 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: the off season that was saying the starting rotation got 163 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: a lot of question marks, a lot of holes there 164 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: that are potential holes there that could be problematic. But 165 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 2: I mean, so far, especially without Garrett Cole, you got 166 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: to be pleased with how they've performed. You know, Louis 167 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: Heel has stepped up. Nester's definitely bounced back from an 168 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: injury plague season, Carlos were don I know, he got 169 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: roughed up a little bit in Baltimore, but just overall 170 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 2: for the season so far, he's looked pretty good. Even 171 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: Clark Schmidt has looked fine, but that's typical Clark Schmidt stuff, 172 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: like he pitches really well and then unravels in like 173 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: the fifth inning. That's why we talked about this before. 174 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: But Schmid would be a great two inning relief guy 175 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: when Cole gets back and he gets pushed into the bullpen, 176 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 2: taken over that Lowizaga role, you know. So, but yeah, 177 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: I gotta be really pleased with with the way Nesters looked. 178 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 2: I guess health. Health is the main is the main thing. 179 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: Are they going to stay healthy? Are they going to 180 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 2: hold up? Is that shoulder going to hold up? So 181 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: so far, so good, but at least the performance wise, Yeah, yeah, 182 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: you gotta be happy with what you've seen. And yes, 183 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: I will say that he's back barring injury. 184 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you worry about smaller guys like that because 185 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: they have to use so much leverage in delivering the baseball. 186 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: So anyway, uh, John Birdie walked to lead off the 187 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: I think the sixth, and then it was a perfectly 188 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: executed hit and run by Trevino. I thought that was 189 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: one of the better moments of the game. And then 190 00:09:53,480 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: the bases clearing double for Juan Soto unbelievable And somebody 191 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: said it earlier. Lon Soto has somehow been better than advertised. 192 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: I wanted to give you just a quick little bit 193 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: of stats here with runners in scoring position this season, 194 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: he is eleven for twenty five, which is a four 195 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: to forty batting average. He's got three home runs, got 196 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: five walks, and only two strikeouts. Time to get the 197 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: check buck out. 198 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 2: Okay, that me and his money. 199 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: So what do you think think they're gonna resign him? 200 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: Man? I hope, so, I really really hope. So Okay, 201 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 2: if we're gonna have this conversation, people need to understand 202 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: right now, he's gonna get fifty million a year. He 203 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: just is. He's gonna be He's twenty five right now, 204 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: so he'll be in his age twenty six season next season. 205 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: Is that right? I think? So? 206 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: Yep? 207 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: Yes. So in terms of like the ten fourteen year contracts, 208 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: you can give him that, you're not he's only twenty five. 209 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 2: Even if he signs a ten year deal, he's only 210 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: gonna be thirty five when he gets out of that deal. 211 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: So it's like, that's not even quote unquote that old 212 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: and baseball speak. I think at the end of the day, 213 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: he's going to probably sign for a twelve year, fourteen 214 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 2: year contract somewhere in that range, probably fifteen million a year. 215 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 2: So just accept that that's what he's going to get. 216 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 2: You know why, because the Mets across town are also 217 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: going to offer him that, and the Yankees are going 218 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 2: to have to match if they want to keep him. 219 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 2: So he has Scott Bors as his agent. Generally that 220 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 2: means that he wants to go to the highest bidder. 221 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: That's just historically what that's meant. Maybe he loves New York, 222 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: he loves being a Yankee. I hope that he does. 223 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, it's a business, 224 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 2: and I do think he'll take the highest offer. So 225 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 2: the Yankees got to get the check book deck. But look, 226 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: the Yankees have always lacked other than lefty power, They've 227 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: always lacked that guy who can get the big hit. 228 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: In these last recent Yankee teams in the last like 229 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: five years or so, especially in the playoffs, there's never 230 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 2: that guy who can get the big hit when the 231 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 2: guys are on, when Juan Soto gets up there with 232 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: runners in scoring position, I have every confidence, every confidence 233 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: that he's gonna go up there with an extremely good 234 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: chance to put a good swing on a ball and 235 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: potentially get those runners in. And that's gonna be enormous. 236 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: In October. I'm sure he's gonna have some huge Yankee 237 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: signature moment. Definitely will in the clutch because he's just 238 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 2: he's he's got that dog in him. He just does 239 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: He just like he's an animal, like he just mentally 240 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: locked in. The moment is never too big for him. 241 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 2: And that's what you want from a Yankee superstar. This 242 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 2: is a guy that you build your franchise around. So yes, yes, 243 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 2: I do give him the twelve year, fourteen year, whatever 244 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: the hell it's gonna be fifty million a year. Yeah, 245 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: he is worth every penny of that contract. When it's 246 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: time to sign. 247 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm getting chills just thinking about that, that y, 248 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: that postseason moment. I was thinking about that home running 249 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: hit into the upper deck a few weeks ago where 250 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: the stadium went batchit. And that was April. I mean, 251 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: imagine that in October. 252 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: Listen if he resigns. If he resigns, let's say this 253 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 2: corps wins a couple championships, ninety nine will be a 254 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 2: monument park next to each other. 255 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: That'd be awesome. That'd be awesome. So Dennis Santana, nice 256 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: job in relief today. He's been very impressive. Whole bullpen 257 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: practically been very, very impressive. I still think they need 258 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: one more strikeout pitcher. One of our members, Doug Raw, 259 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: makes a lot of comments on here. He mentioned Michael 260 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Kopek with the White Sox twenty five strikeouts and seventeen 261 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: innings hard thrower just turned twenty eight, might be a 262 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: decent option. Rain delay before the bottom of the eighth inning, 263 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: and then they banged it. The field was just unplayable. 264 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: It has stopped raining, but they called it because the 265 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: field was just too soggy to wet. Don't want anybody 266 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: getting hurt. So Yankees, in unconventional fashion, pick up the sweep. 267 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: You're three in a row, so that's tech. 268 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 2: It's a winning streak. 269 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: Technically, technically, that's a winning streak. So let's ask our 270 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: Fred Will Ferrell about it. 271 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: We're hell wow. 272 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: Winning ten games over five hundred for the first time, 273 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: this season twenty three and thirteen. If the Reds can 274 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: beat the Orioles tonight, then the Yankees will be tied 275 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: for first place again. I'll tell you what, though, the 276 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: Orioles they are tough, man, I don't know if we 277 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: can win the division. Those guys are just so good 278 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: and they're getting better. Like that's the thing. They're young, 279 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: but they're getting better because these guys are just hitting 280 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: the league. 281 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be the new you know, we always 282 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: have like that rivalry with a certain Ali's team, but 283 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: it was the Rays and the Red Sox, and like 284 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: those rivalries are kind of dead right now. It's gonna 285 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: be the Orioles Yankees rivalry as far as the division 286 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: goes for the next five, four, five six years. Those 287 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 2: guys are just they got some really really good players 288 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: and they and they got like they still got like 289 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 2: three or four top prospects waiting in their system. So 290 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: I know, Jackson Holiday came up and he was not good. 291 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: But guy, he's twenty years old. He's gonna be really good. Yeah. Well, 292 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: I'm sure when he gets back to the big leagues, 293 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: like he's not gonna go back down. So uh, it 294 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: takes a long time to adjust a big league pitching 295 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: and he'll get there, I'm sure. But yeah, they're gonna 296 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: be just a thorn. And the Yankees sign for the 297 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 2: next like five years, and now that they have new ownership, 298 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: I'm curious are they going to re sign some of 299 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 2: those guys? And if I were them, if I running 300 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: that team, I would probably do the Atlanta Brave style 301 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 2: and try to get guys signed cheap, on the cheap 302 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: when they're younger, so you give like holiday like you know, 303 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: you give him like a ten year, two hundred million 304 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: dollar contract or something like that, because he's probably gonna 305 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: outplay that much. 306 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: Way, you know, an eight year, eighty million dollar times. 307 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying though, like kind of like 308 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: you try to buy out the the the arbitrary tradition 309 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: for the for the for the cheaper free agency years. 310 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: They'll probably go down that road, I think. But you know, 311 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: even on the pitching side of thing, they got bradish 312 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: and Burns. Their bullpen is great. Baltista is not even 313 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 2: back yet. He'll be back next season, like when their 314 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 2: bullpen is just filthy with Cano and Bautista when they're 315 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 2: both healthy. So yeah, they're gonna be a real problem, 316 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: and the Yankees are gonna have to figure out a 317 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: way to to at least tread water this season. And 318 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: just all I want from the Yankees is just make 319 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 2: it interesting in early September, late August. Just just make 320 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 2: the division race interesting. I do think the Orals are 321 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: gonna win the Al East and the Yankees will probably 322 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: be a wild card team. But just just make it interesting. 323 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: That's the main thing, all. 324 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: Right, t K who you got for the belt? We 325 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: gotta give out the hardware. 326 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think we gotta go with mister Juan 327 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: Soto for today. 328 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: I like the way you say, Huan, Yeah, who wh 329 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: wh whetan Yeah, so big hit, got it done it. 330 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: We could have probably gone with Nestor. Nestor was great. 331 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: Could have probably gone with Judge. Judge. Judge looks better 332 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: every day. Soto been very consistent. You know, Nestor's had 333 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: one or two tough ones, but he's had a lot 334 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: of really good starts. A couple of bad ones have 335 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: brought his era up, you know. But early on the 336 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: season he had trouble getting through that first inning, remember, 337 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: and now he seems to have locked into a rhythm. 338 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm feeling good about where the team 339 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: is at. I still think we need one or two 340 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: more bullpen arms. I'm hopeful that somebody like Clayton Beater 341 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: can come up, you know, from the minor leagues. A 342 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: young fresh arm who's in his twenties, doesn't have all 343 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: the mileage from other teams, you know, most years, I'm 344 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 1: thinking that the Yankees need to go out and make 345 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of trades at the deadline, get like two 346 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: or three bats. Get I honestly don't think this team 347 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: needs that much. I mean, when you get Garrett Cole back, 348 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: you get Jason Dominguez back, that's a bat and an 349 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: arm that I think are both gonna be really impactful. 350 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: A young switch hitter with speed and then end power 351 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: and a ACE level pitcher. And then you're getting Frost 352 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: back midsummer, you're getting Tommy Kinley back. Those are two arms. Honestly, 353 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: if they went out and got one good relief pitcher 354 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: this year, I would call that a success. Maybe another 355 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: like bench piece or two. 356 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait 357 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: and see where they're at, what the team looks like, 358 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: what injuries look like at that time, But I agree 359 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: with you. I don't think they need a ton of work. 360 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: I was sitting here that I wanted Emmanuel Classe at 361 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: the beginning of the season because I felt like they 362 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: were one lights out closer away, just because Holmes. Look, 363 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 2: Holmes is making me eat my words. Where he's just 364 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: been absolutely unbelievable to start the year. Credit where credit 365 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: is due, right, But I just feel like we talked 366 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: about this because Clay Holmes is more of a ground 367 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 2: ball pitcher. I feel like him in the eighth inning 368 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: with a guy following him like a flamethrower strike thrower 369 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: in the ninth would be just a really really nasty 370 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: combo there, kind of like Cano and Bautista the eighth inning. 371 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: It like basically you'd be playing a seventh inning game 372 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: if you've got that. So what guys would be available? 373 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: I know, I asked you about Mason Miller. You said 374 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 2: Oakland wouldn't make him available, which is really unfortunate. I 375 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: don't know why an elite closer would help them. 376 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: Well, they got to figure they got several years of control. 377 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: Why trade aim now, you know? 378 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: But the other thing is so much you know what 379 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 2: I mean, that needs so much help Why would you 380 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: keep the closer? You might as well just get a 381 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: nice core of four young players to move to Vegas 382 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: to build around. 383 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: Why would need a Well, there's two reasons that I 384 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: think they would trade him, and there's two reasons that 385 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: I think they wouldn't. The two reasons that I think 386 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: they wouldn't are the team control, he's got several years, 387 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: and he's cheap, and the A's love people who are 388 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: are cheap. And the two reasons where I think they 389 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: would trade him is usually when guys have that kind 390 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: of v low, their arm is a ticking time bomb 391 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: and it makes sense to move him while you can 392 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: still get something for him. And two, I think it's 393 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: going to be a bidding war for him. We've seen 394 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: young players get traded early on in their career before. 395 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: Scott Efross is an example of that. With the Cubs. 396 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: I think he was in his second year or maybe 397 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: his third year and had a lot of control left. Obviously, 398 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: most of that control has been spent on the injured list, unfortunately, 399 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: But the Yankees went out and got him, and they 400 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: had to give up a pretty good starting pitching prospect 401 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: to get him. Now, what would it cost to get 402 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: something like Mason Miller, who's really like he could be 403 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: a World Series game changer, Like you put him up 404 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: against the Dodgers, and I have no question he could 405 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: cut through betts Otani and whoever. 406 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: Another guy just thought of Duran with Minnesota. If they're 407 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: out of it, maybe they he'd put it beyond the block. 408 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: That guy's got some electric stuff. But Miller, Duran class. 409 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 2: You gotta see where those teams are at at the deadline. 410 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 2: But you see where I'm coming from. Though. You got 411 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: like a guy who's throwing one hundred miles an hour 412 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: in the ninth inning, he's just gonna just throw smoke 413 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: right after you face Clay Homes. The game's over in 414 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: the seventh inning. Game is over in the seventh innings. 415 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 2: So you know, that's an enormous advantage for a team 416 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs. 417 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: Now you're you're too young to remember this, but I 418 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: can tell you, and I think my audience likes hearing 419 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: me reminisce about the ninety six team. But that team, 420 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: it was over if you got through six innings. Because 421 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: Mariano was middle relief at that point, he was seventh 422 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: and eighth. He was a setup guy and he just 423 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: I think he had a two point eight ERA, which 424 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: is higher than you would I think it would be 425 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: for the level of dominance that he had. But when 426 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: you consider he's pitching two innings every time out, I 427 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: think he had one hundred and thirty strikeouts out of 428 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 1: the bullpen. It was insane. And this was really pre 429 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: cutter days. He was doing it with like a fastball 430 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: that he would go up the ladder, so he would 431 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: usually spot a fastball, next one would be in the 432 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: strike zone but slightly above the hands. He'd get a 433 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: foul ball, and then the next one was like letter 434 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: high and guys couldn't get a get a bat on it. 435 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: And originally they called him the sandman because he put 436 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: guys to sleep because he had this like all the 437 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: talk was he had this nice, easy motion and then 438 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: the ball just exploded out of his hands. And then 439 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: you had John Wetland for the ninth and Wetland was 440 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 1: kind of like Clay Holmes is now, where he would 441 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: get into trouble a lot but pitch his way out 442 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: of it. Even in the World Series. You know, he 443 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 1: put the tying run on base in the ninth inning 444 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: and pitched his way out of it. But yeah, I mean, 445 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 1: I think you can get one more relief pitcher and 446 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: really have a lockdown bullpen. We've already got a very 447 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: good bullpen, but we need somebody else who can bats. 448 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: I'm hoping Tommy Kinley can be that guy. 449 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, same here, but another It's funny though, because Miami 450 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 2: already traded Arias. They're they're like having a fire sale, 451 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: so I'm kind of wondering who else they're going to 452 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: make available because I'm looking at Glabor Torres, who's in 453 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: a contract year. He's really struggled so far this year, 454 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: which is kind of surprising. I felt like the contract 455 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: year would maybe motivate him to I guess he's yeah, 456 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: he's obviously trying to play well, but maybe just like 457 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: spark something into him where he can kind of pull 458 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: it together a little bit. But I guess we'll have 459 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 2: to see where he's at. But he's been in trade 460 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 2: rumors for the last like three years. It feels like 461 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: where they were gonna send him to for Lozardo or whatever. 462 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 2: But maybe they'd give up jazz Chism and you could 463 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 2: have Torres in a package with some young prost bess 464 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: in there. And I just say jazz chism because he's 465 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 2: a lefty bat and he plays everything. Used to play shortstop. 466 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 2: He's in the outfield now, but I'm sure he could 467 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 2: play second. And that guy is athletic as hell, and 468 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: he's run so well, So that's kind of where the 469 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: game is headed. Athleticism and speA kind of fits that role. 470 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 2: I wonder if they would make him available just because 471 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: Miami's kind of given up already, it seems like, but 472 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: why would they want Torres if they're if they've given up, 473 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 2: he's on it. He's basically half a season, so you know, 474 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: you would have to you would have to make a 475 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 2: lot of things work if you wanted to acquire a 476 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: guy like that. 477 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: But I don't think the Marlins. I think that's just smoke. 478 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't think the Marlins have any interest in Glabor Torres. 479 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: And I can't see anybody like that's a contender that 480 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: would want Labor Torres at this point. I mean, let's 481 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: let's take a little Dodgers and Padres both have good 482 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: in fields. It's good second basement Brewers, Cubs maybe, I 483 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: don't know, Phillies probably not. You know, Mirrors, no Rangers, 484 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: no US Phillies have with Merryfield, Right, they got who 485 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: else is that? 486 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: That's like the utility guy though, Who's who's. 487 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: Their starting I feel like they have a starting secret. 488 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: That's who they have. 489 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: That's right. He's good. He's young too, Yeah, yeah, so, 490 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: I mean I just don't see a lot of landing 491 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: spots for him. I think the Yankees are gonna try 492 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: and hang on to him and low ball them with 493 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: a contract. That's that. That feels like a very Yankee move, 494 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: doesn't it. 495 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, definitely they're gonna. I don't I don't even 496 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: I even think they'll probably just maybe they'll offer him 497 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 2: the qualifying offer just because they'll expect him to walk 498 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 2: in free agency and get the draft pick. I kind 499 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: of feel like they're gonna just be like, thank you 500 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 2: for your service and just and let them go. You 501 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 2: want to resign Juan Soda, You're gonna have to make 502 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,719 Speaker 2: some decisions like that. I think they also have some 503 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 2: young middle infielders. My guy yorbit Vivas. What the hell 504 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: is gonna happen with Parrazza? He's like two seconds away 505 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 2: from becoming Miguel Andrew Hartclint Frasier Part two, which is 506 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 2: scary so and he's he did he start his rehab 507 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 2: assignment yet. Also, they still have DJ Lemayu, who I 508 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 2: guess could play second next year, so I mean they 509 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: got some choices. I don't really feel like there's a 510 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 2: need for a glabor tour as unfortunately for him, he's 511 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: a bit of the odd man out. 512 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna disagree on DJ. I think his days would 513 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: be in a middle infielder are over. I mean, there's 514 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: so many balls hit up the middle. He just doesn't 515 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: have the range anymore with his feet, Like he's a 516 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: corner guy. I like orbit V. But he's been hurt 517 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: all year, so we really don't know what we're gonna have. 518 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: He had that I fracture. Last I checked, he was 519 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: one for seven and it didn't change for a few days. 520 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: So he's probably dealing with something right now. But they 521 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: do have some other guys coming up. I mean, George 522 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: Lombard is eighteen years old, Roderick Arius is nineteen. There's 523 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: talks that Roderick Arius could be up next season, like 524 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: he could like if he has a big, explosive kind 525 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: of season, you know, he could by the end of 526 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: next year be up at twenty you know, that's not 527 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: unheard of. Dominguez did it, So I really think the 528 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: Yankees plan is to hold on to Labor, hope he 529 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: gets hot at the right time, and then give him 530 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: a low ball offer and if he walks, he walks. 531 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm guessing they're gonna do with. 532 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: Him, definitely. You know, it's funny as far as like 533 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 2: free agents that are you know, players they got are 534 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 2: going to be free agents this season. I'd almost rather 535 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: re sign Verdugo over Torres, which is really odd because 536 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 2: they have a bit of a crowded outfield already with Soto, Judge, 537 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: you got uh, Dominguez and Jones obviously in the minor leagues. 538 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 2: But in that case, if they decide to to do that, 539 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: I don't think they'd pick up Rizzo's option. Maybe they'd 540 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: consider moving Judge to first and just open up a 541 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 2: spot for Verdudo has been really good. He's a good 542 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 2: lefty bat. He's a good fielder too, which I knew, 543 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: but I kind of underestimated, if I'm being honest, and 544 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 2: he's got a bit of a slag a spunk to him. 545 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you just I mean, Judge, maybe 546 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: at a first base. That to me, it seems like 547 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: a very likely move that a lot of people aren't 548 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: talking about. I mean, one huge target. Two, he's an athlete. 549 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean he should be able to pick up first base. Three. 550 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: The toe injury makes that more likely, I think, because 551 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: he said it's gonna be constant maintenance. He never had 552 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: surgery on it, you got. I mean, he's running well, 553 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: but what's it going to be like in two years 554 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: when arthritis starts to kick in? When you know, so, 555 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: I really think first base is his future. And right 556 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: now they've got Rizzo through the end of the year 557 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: and they don't really have that next first baseman. I 558 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be Austin Wells, but he's done 559 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: so well behind the plate. I think he's gonna end 560 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: up being the future catcher. And I think Travino in 561 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: Wells is like a you know, catcher one and one 562 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: B for like the next couple of years actually might work. 563 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: Then they talk about ben Rice maybe going to first base. 564 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: Maybe, but I mean, and he's having a good year 565 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: at Double A, but I mean he's still he's like 566 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: twenty two or twenty three and he's in Double A. 567 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 1: It's like I want to see I want to see 568 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: him hit against real He didn't show me much in 569 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: spring training either. Yeah, you've got a good swing, but 570 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta produce a little bit. 571 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 2: I've I've heard that and Rizzo has a has a 572 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 2: club option, right, that's what this year at the end 573 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: of this year. Yeah, so I feel like maybe they 574 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: pick up the options just to buy Judge like an 575 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,879 Speaker 2: extra year in the outfield. But I do agree with 576 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: you the future for Judges first base, it just has 577 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 2: to be as he ages into the contract as bad 578 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 2: as obviously more important than his glove. You can put 579 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 2: him at first. He's huge, and yeah he's an athlete. 580 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 2: We've seen him play like take take grounders at first 581 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 2: already in spring training, before you know, warm up some games. 582 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 2: So clearly the front office already has this in the 583 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: back of their back of their head already, they've been 584 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 2: thinking about this. But uh, just because I think in 585 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: the future if you resigned Soto especially, this is like 586 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: next you're speaking, but like Dimingez and Jones are gonna 587 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 2: secure outfield spots and then you're probably gonna have Sodo 588 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 2: out there and write and he'll probably alternate with dh 589 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: and you can have another guy. And that's what I 590 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 2: was saying with Verdugo if the price is right, If 591 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: the price is right, I would be interested, just if. 592 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: He were willing to be a fourth outfielder. And and 593 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: and you know seed the every day playing time, the 594 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: opening day start. Yeah, because I do think he's a 595 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: good ballplayer. But I want Spencer Jones, I want Dimingez, 596 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: and I want Sodo. If Soto leaves, I think Fordugo 597 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: coming back is a no brainer. In fact, I think 598 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,359 Speaker 1: Fordugo is gonna wait until after Sodo signs to sign 599 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 1: because SODA's gonna one set the outfield market and two 600 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: he'll he'll leave teams standing there needing an outfielder that 601 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: we're bidding on him. 602 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 2: So Duo's a Yankee like that, without a question, it'd 603 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: be silly to let him go. Of su and. 604 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Judge likes him, and you know Judge is somebody that 605 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: like he obviously has has pull, all right, So let's uh, 606 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: let's get to a couple more things. So uh, Chevin 607 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: seventeen says, or sorry say of An eighteen says, Spencer 608 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: Jones is a first baseman too. I'm gonna go ahead 609 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: and disagree on that. I hear you that he's tall, 610 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: and he's left. 611 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: Handed and josh the bit outside. 612 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: Ideally you would think that that would be a translate 613 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: well into a first base. But his speed, I don't 614 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: think people realize how fast this guy is. This guy 615 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: is like, he would be one of the top five 616 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: fastest players in Major League Baseball right now. He's got 617 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: basically Corbin Carrol level speed because of that stride. 618 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, he has really long legs. I was a guy 619 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 2: originally when they drafted him. When they first drafted him, 620 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: I wasn't put on like that with Spencer Jones. I 621 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: didn't realize the talent that I knew he was a 622 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 2: good player, but I didn't realize the extent of his game. 623 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 2: So I was kind of like, yeah, Alfield slash first base. 624 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 2: They may consider that just because of his frame, but yeah, 625 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 2: like you mentioned, when you have speed like that, you 626 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: can't put him at first base. He's an athlete. He 627 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: could play center. Honestly, you want to put Domingos and 628 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: left in, Jones and center. Those are kind of interchangeable 629 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,080 Speaker 2: for me. I don't really know what they're gonna do. 630 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: How do you feel about it? You'd rather have the 631 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: Martian in center, or you just don't really care. It's 632 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: kind of whatever, because left is huge in Yankee Stadium. 633 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: So I think Domingas will age better as a left fielder. 634 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: He's not. He's so muscular and muscle bound that I 635 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: don't think the speed is gonna be there forever. I 636 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: think he's gonna shift over to left field. I think 637 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: Spencer Jones becomes your center fielder, and Wan Sota, who's 638 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: been a good right fielder this year, could be the 639 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: right fielder, and Judge becomes you know, you know, either 640 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: first base or DH next year. I'd be very comfortable 641 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: with that. If they don't, you know, that's just it's weird. 642 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,160 Speaker 1: It's so many different scenarios. I mean, what if Rizzo 643 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: has that monster season and you're gonna let a good 644 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: left handed hit or walk. But I mean, so much 645 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 1: depends on Juan Soto, you know, if he gets a 646 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: big contractor are you gonna be able to afford to 647 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: bring back Rizzo? You know? So I feel like that's 648 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: one of the reasons we're hearing that the Yankees are 649 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: gonna be super aggressive on Soto early in the offseason 650 00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: because they want to know what direction they got to 651 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: move with their team. If you sign Sodo right away, 652 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: then you can make the decisions on first base on Verdugo. 653 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: You know, we'll see where Spencer Jones is at Domingos. 654 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm confident we'll be back in the lineup at that point. 655 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see where they put him. I 656 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: think he'll go to centerfield when he comes back this year, 657 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 1: but I think next year he goes to left, Spencer 658 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: Jones goes to center, and Judge will either be in 659 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: right or at first base, and Sodo will be either 660 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: in right field or on a different team. I don't 661 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: think that they're going to replace John Carlos. Stanton got 662 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: a few years left on the contract, but you never know. 663 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Weirder things have happened, but he still owed a lot 664 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: of money. 665 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think with that the most ideal scenarios. 666 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: They resigned Sodo obviously, but if Rizzo has that big year, 667 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 2: you pick up the option. You could probably rotate Judge 668 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 2: and Rizzo at first in DH and just kind of 669 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 2: through that cycle. You can stick Judge in the outfield 670 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 2: every few days if you want as well, and right 671 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 2: and give Sodo a DH day or a day off. 672 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: You can kind of play around with it. But the 673 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: problem will be Stanton because he's got three years left 674 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: on his contract after this, and then he's got what 675 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 2: is it, like, seventy five million dollars left. I think 676 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: it's so hard because they're gonna be really they bear. 677 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: They were pretty like resistant on eating Hicks' contract that 678 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 2: ten million years, so you you think he's they're gonna 679 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: eat Stanton's contract unless the guy just like straight up 680 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: is just not performing. And I think they're just gonna 681 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: just roll the dice and hope that in October he 682 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 2: has some huge home run and everyone's like, oh my god, 683 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: I love Stanton and that in the moment right where 684 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 2: an isolated moment. So I don't know, it's there's so 685 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: many different moving pieces and stuff, but the priority, the 686 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 2: priority is resigning Juan Soda absolutely because you're gonna have 687 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 2: him for the next ten to ten to fifteen years. 688 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 2: And if you guys don't think the front office and 689 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: Brian Cashman don't have a number in their head right now, 690 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 2: they do. They know what they're gonna absolutely, they know 691 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: what they know what you want to sign him for already? 692 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, t K, I hope you're enjoying 693 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: the weather out there in La today. I'll let you 694 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: go because he's still got a whole afternoon left. Ladies 695 00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, we're gonna wrap it up a couple more 696 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: comments here Jason Lorio. He says supporting Rizzo and Sono 697 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: seems impossible for next year, probably correct. Doctor Anarchy says 698 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of bullpen arms think Luding Holmes are free 699 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: agents after this year too. That's something we got to 700 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,959 Speaker 1: look at too. Do the Yankees re sign Holmes. We'll 701 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: talk about that on another episode. We got a lot 702 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: left of these TK gonna be joining you know, several 703 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,239 Speaker 1: times a month for the rest of the season, and 704 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: of course on West Coast trips because he's out there 705 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: on the West coast makes the post game a little 706 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: bit easier on me at one in the morning. 707 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: But I will be at some of those games. I 708 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 2: had mentioned that before Padre's Angels Giants one game each series. 709 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 2: I'm excited for that. Get content for you guys who 710 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680 Speaker 2: can put it in the post game.

Let him know in the comments if you 717 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: would watch. If we can get enough people, maybe we 718 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: can convince him. I think that would be a great 719 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,440 Speaker 1: move for TK, just knowing him for the last few months.
