1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Wanted to talk. 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 2: That's all. 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 3: What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another season of Yankees 4 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 3: fan voicemails here on Pinstripe Territory. I hope you enjoyed 5 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 3: your evening after a nice opening day win. I saw 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 3: a comment yesterday that Clay Holmes would have imploded in 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 3: the ninth inning and that even though Devin Williams struggled, 8 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 3: the difference is he was able to lock it in 9 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 3: and strike out the side. And I didn't know where 10 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: to put it within this whole show because it didn't 11 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: really have a whole topic to it. But I wanted 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: to call that out because I thought it made a 13 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 3: lot of sense, and it's a good sign that he 14 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: was able to dial it back in rather than let 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: it spiral out of control. You know, I think that 16 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: one of the reasons that Clay Holmes all, you know, 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: gave us all these heart attacks is that we knew 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: that once thing would start unraveling a lot of times 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: they would completely unravel. Yesterday, things got a little bit 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: dicey for Devin Williams, but ultimately he locked down the game. 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: There were other closers like that, John Wetland, a lot 22 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: of you will remember from the nineties teams, especially ninety six, 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: he was always doing that high wire act when he 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 3: would close out games. And you know, he still closed 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: out the World Series, even though it was a little 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: bit dicey. Cooso nine to twenty nine says Soto fails 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: for the Mets. Is this a Yankee recap or a 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 3: bash on Sodo? Oh no, Oh my god, we're talking 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 3: smack about Sodo. 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 2: I'm breaking your blows a little bit. 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: Look, we're just busting his cajone's there. We'll talk about 32 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: Juan Soto, but I think it's okay to root against him. 33 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: And a lot of Yankees fans were talking about it, 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: and my job is to get Yankees fans to tune 35 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: in and and call in and participate. And so that's 36 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: one of the topics that we wanted to talk about. 37 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: But Yankees still have a chance to go wire to 38 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: wire this year. They woke up this morning in first place. 39 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 3: They're in a three way tie with the Ools and 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: Red Sox all one to zero. The Blue Jays loss yesterday. 41 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: The Rays did not play, so three teams that could 42 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: be duking it out all season long off to good starts. 43 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: Before I run through my quick topics and we do 44 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: your voicemails a quick, a little bit of fun. I 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 3: was playing around with AI this morning, and this is 46 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 3: one that's going to be better for if you're watching 47 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 3: on YouTube, then if you're listening on the audio platform. 48 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: But I wanted to turn some images from yesterday's opening 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: day into AI Carton cartoons. This is a segment we 50 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: call Art Imitates Life or Life Imitates Art. We got 51 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 3: Jason Dominguez here. I added the UFO in the background. 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: I might take the logo off of some of these 53 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 3: and tournamental like T shirts or whatever. And then we 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: got serial killer Carlos Rodon with the backwards k here 55 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: looking great with the beard, looking menacing. I love this. 56 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 3: I mean these are incredible, Aaron Judge, why pitch to me? 57 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: This is after his double, his RBI double on pace 58 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 3: for one hundred and sixty two RBIs and you know what, 59 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: he almost had that many last year, he one hundred 60 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 3: and forty four. This was my favorite one. This was 61 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: Volpi standing for the national anthem. Looks just like him. 62 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: We got you know, I mean, the perfect haird the fluffle. 63 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: We got Ben Rice after he smoked a bullet off 64 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: the right field wall. Good start for him. He just 65 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: destroyed the baseball in spring training. And this is me 66 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: answering your voicemails. They made me a little fatter than 67 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: I used than I am now, you know, I used 68 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: to be a little chubbier, but and then we got 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: Devin Williams with the uh closing it out. So great 70 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: job by AI there. All right, let's move on to 71 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 3: my first little topic here. Yankees with beards for the 72 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: first time in over forty years. I thought ro Don, 73 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: like I said, looked comfortable. He looked straight up menacing. 74 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: You know, I gotta say, he seems more comfortable in 75 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 3: his own skin, like joj you already said, and like 76 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: we said four years that Yankees would be if we 77 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 3: let them have their own look, their own facial hair. 78 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 3: Devin Williams mark lighter and Jason Dominguez also sporting facial hair. 79 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 3: I think Judge should grow one. I think before long 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: Wells will have one, because he's gonna get tired playing 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: behind the dish every day. Although I gotta say it's 82 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: not as charismatic to say want a beard ride, as 83 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 3: far as you know, if you want a mustache ride, 84 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: I mean it's it's just not as charismatic, So maybe 85 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 3: he'll stick with the mustache. Onto the Jan Soto topic. 86 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 3: He struck out yesterday to end the game with the 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: game on the line in Houston, And you may remember 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 3: that last year the Yankees opened up in Houston and 89 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 3: Soto had an amazing series. He had an amazing opening day, 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: He went deep, he threw a runner out at home. 91 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: He had an incredible day. Yesterday not so good. He 92 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: walked a couple of times. Sure, that's what he's gonna do. 93 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: He is gonna walk a gazillion times this year. That's 94 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 3: what happens when you don't have Aaron Judge protecting you 95 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: in the order. And he struck out on a weak 96 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: hack to end the game. And look, A few people 97 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 3: have mentioned yesterday that I left the Mets out of 98 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: my playoff prediction, and the reason I did is because 99 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: I don't think they have pitching, and I don't think 100 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 3: they did much other than get Juan Soto. They re 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 3: signed the polar Bear Pete Alonzo, but they didn't really 102 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: address their pitching that much. I mean, Clay Holmes, they're 103 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: trying to convert him into a starter. He's their opening 104 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: day starter. He's got elite stuff, but he's a head 105 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: case and we all knew that he's not gonna succeed 106 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 3: as a starter. You got Manaiah, who was kind of 107 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: a fluke last year, I think, and he's hurt. Montass 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: is hurt. I just I don't think they're that good. 109 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: And I personally used to like Juan Soto a lot, 110 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 3: very much as a human being. I want nothing but 111 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: prosperity for him and his family. I'll say that out front, 112 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 3: but I don't like him anymore. And I'm not rooting 113 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 3: for him because he ditched the Yankees for money. But 114 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: it's not just that. It is partially the contract, you know. 115 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: I think these seven hundred million dollar contracts are breaking 116 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 3: the sport. I think it's gonna lead to a lockout 117 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: or a strike. And quite frankly, he's not close to 118 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: worth that much because he's not a complete player. I 119 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: saw the other day where he called himself the greatest 120 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: hitter of all time? What what? I can name five 121 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 3: players that I've watched personally that are better hitters than 122 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: Jan Soto, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez. Say what you want 123 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: about those two in steroids, but Barry Bond's best hitter 124 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: I've ever seen. It's not close, Ay Rod. He had 125 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: a lot of years that were better than anything Soto 126 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: has done. Ichiro Suzuki not a power guy, but in 127 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 3: two thousand and three, two thousand and four, the dude 128 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 3: would hit a line drive every time, or a chopper 129 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 3: and beat it out. He was an offensive just miracle. 130 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: Ken Griffy Junior. You did not want to pitch to 131 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: Ken Griffy Junior in a big spot ever. And another 132 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: one I've seen is Aaron Judge. Yes, Aaron Judge is 133 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: a better hitter than Juan Soto. He's a better offensive player, 134 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: and it's not close. He hit forty points higher last 135 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: year than Juan Soto. His own base percentage was thirty 136 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: nine points higher. He had seventeen more home runs. Is 137 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 3: this really a discussion? Listen, I got a pretty good podcast. 138 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: I think maybe you guys disagree, but some of you, 139 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: I'm sure do. I would never say I'm the best 140 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 3: podcast in the world. I would never say I'm the 141 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: biggest or the most successful, because there's there's a lot 142 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: of them that are way better, way bigger, way better. 143 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: Hell as far as Yankees podcast go, talking Yanks is 144 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: way bigger. But I would I would never dare call 145 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: myself I'm the best. You gotta be realistic, Juan Soto, 146 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 3: I'm speaking to you directly. You are not the best 147 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 3: hitter ever. You're not even the best hitter in New 148 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 3: York and that is a fact. All right, Let's move 149 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: on to another segment here that we're gonna do as 150 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 3: part of the morning show throughout the year Inside Edge. 151 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Tony Gwynn way Boggs. Great comment from Jake 152 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 3: Boss and great beard from Jake Boss. That's a solid beard, man, 153 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: that is a quality beard. All right, we're gonna do 154 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: segment here on Inside Edge. This is a scouting service, 155 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: or you know, a basically a I don't know why 156 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: it's it's moved over to the let me just put 157 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: it back on the screen a little bit more. There 158 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: we go, There we go. This is a scouting in 159 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: stats service. This is Max Freed, and it basically gives 160 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: you his numbers and it tells you this orientation tab 161 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 3: here tells you whether it's like a positive or it's 162 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: like a high watermark or it's a low. So like 163 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: it's got rankings and all this stuff. So I just 164 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 3: kind of want to orient you with what we're looking 165 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: at before I explain everything. Basically, he is amazing with 166 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 3: his fastball down his low fastball. Since twenty twenty two, 167 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: he ranks number one in slugging on the fastball down 168 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: two fifty six slugging percentage, and the league average is 169 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: four seventeen. So you're gonna see a lot of fastballs 170 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 3: low in the zone get sinc second time through the order, 171 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: they're slugging just two twenty two against him. That's ranked 172 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 3: number one. That was twenty twenty four. Second time through. 173 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: Since twenty twenty three, they've got a two seventy seven 174 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 3: slugging percentage. Now, let's go ahead and look at three 175 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: pitch strikeouts since the twenty twenty four season, he ranks 176 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: thirty nine. So you figure every team has, you know, 177 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 3: one guy who's like an ace type pitcher. He's basically 178 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: a really good number two. His curveball. I mean, we 179 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: have all sorts of rankings here. His curveball is phenomenal. Anyway, 180 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 3: we can go back to looking at all stats here. Actually, 181 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 3: let's go ahead and look at pitch use of the 182 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: curve ball. You could see that he ranks eighth in 183 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: pitch usage of the curveball on the first pitch and 184 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 3: with runners in scoring position, he throws it a lot. 185 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 3: Curveball is an excellent pitch for him. So reset all filters, 186 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: max Free, I mean, let's take a look at some 187 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 3: of the stuff where he ranks high fastball in a 188 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 3: strikeout second since twenty twenty three fifty six point seven percentage, 189 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 3: zero point seven percentage. So Max Freed. Your little scouting 190 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: report here, brought to you by remarkable from Inside Edge, 191 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 3: tremendous stats. I think this is what you know, all 192 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: the announcers use when they are, you know, giving you 193 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: stuff little segments during the game. So we'll do this daily. 194 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: We'll look at, you know, the pitchers, we'll look at 195 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: the hitters, we'll look at people from other teams and 196 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 3: stuff like that. But I thought you guys might enjoy that. 197 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: And then next we've got our No. Stra Derek prediction. 198 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: My prediction tomorrow is that Paul Goldschmidt will hit his 199 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: first home run as a Yankee. I think Nest Cortez 200 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: is going to be so focused on getting Aaron Judge 201 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 3: out that he's going to forget about gold Schmidt and 202 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: his first hit with the Yankees will be a home run, 203 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: and I'm saying right center field. That is my No 204 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 3: Stra Derek prediction for tomorrow. All right, let's go ahead 205 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 3: and finally get to your voicemails.

All right, let's see 227 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: here Spike from New Jersey. Spike, I just wanted to 228 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: talk about. 229 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 4: Carlos or Gone real quick. 230 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 5: I don't think he's ever really gonna be the kind 231 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 5: of eighth that we thought we were signing, or the 232 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 5: one Ace to Garrett Cole, he's great, and I do 233 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 5: like watching him pitch, But to me, an ace is 234 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 5: a guy who can confidently get into the seventh inning 235 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 5: and finish a game strongly. I feel like every time 236 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 5: he's on the mound, once he gets around seventy eighty pitches, 237 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 5: he just falls apart, He loses the zone. He just 238 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 5: can't hold it together. Last year we had a lot 239 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 5: of run he had a lot of run supports, so 240 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 5: we got a bunch of wins. But I still don't 241 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 5: feel like we ever see him get into the seventh 242 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 5: and finish it confidently. Sometimes he'll even be like, no, 243 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 5: I'm staying in the game, staying in the game and 244 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 5: then I'll just give up like two or three hits 245 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 5: and then doing like you see, I should have taken 246 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 5: you out. Uh. You know, I'm glad he got the 247 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 5: win today, but I just wanted to get your thoughts 248 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 5: on why you think he always falls apart around seventy 249 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 5: eighty pitches. Do you think he's just literally just getting gassed. 250 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 6: I want to do your thoughts. 251 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's exactly it. I think that's exactly it. 252 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: He's he's a max effort pitcher. Like if you watch 253 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 3: a slow motion of him pitching, you see that he 254 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: like he puts everything, everything in his body into every pitch. 255 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 3: And the way pitchers are built these days and the 256 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: way they're trained, it's not necessarily to go seven, seven 257 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: and two thirds like they used to be, like David 258 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 3: Kohene or David Wells would do, or Andy Pettitt. You know, 259 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: he's one of these guys who's gonna go five, five 260 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: and a third, five and two thirds and hopefully give 261 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: you one or two runs, just going max effort every time. 262 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: And I think that. I mean, I'll take it, honestly. 263 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: It you know it works, you know, you turn it 264 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: over to a really good bullpen. Most of the time, 265 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 3: you're gonna get the dub if you had any kind 266 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 3: of offense at all. That's why he got sixteen wins. 267 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 3: He did get some run support last year, but he 268 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: pitched better than a lot of people realize. He had 269 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 3: some stretches where he was awful that hurt his numbers. 270 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 3: But I thought he was I thought he was really solid, 271 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: and he's becoming more of a pitcher. I would say 272 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 3: he's a thrower at this point, but the fact that 273 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: he's working in the sinker now, he's working in the 274 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: change up now, you know, I think he's becoming much 275 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: more of a pitcher than a thrower. 276 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 2: Good morning, Derek. It's Connor from New Jersey again calling 277 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 2: from again New Jersey. Lol. But I went to my 278 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: first opening day game yesterday at the stadium. It was electric. 279 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: I've never had a sports experience like that before. It 280 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 2: was pretty cool. Devin Williams, Devin definitely gave me a 281 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: heart attack yesterday. I thought we got rid of Clay Holmes. 282 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: But in all seriousness, even though he looked shaky in 283 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: the beginning, the way he struck out Willie not Williams, 284 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: Yellick Centurio that was pretty nasty. I mean, you gotta 285 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 2: have balls of steel to get yourself in that situation 286 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: and then get yourself out of it. Not as quickly 287 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: as he did, but kind of. I guess, I don't know, 288 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: Buzz all. 289 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 3: Right, appreciate the call. Yeah, So he was able to refocus, right, 290 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: I think that for a closer, when you have such 291 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 3: a small room for error, especially when you're making like 292 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 3: your debut, and it's like, you know a lot of 293 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: people in the stands, and I think that you can 294 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 3: try and be too precise, And I think that's what 295 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 3: he was trying to do early on. He wasn't really 296 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 3: trusting his sinker. Also, I think there's something to what 297 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 3: Joe Girardi said in the Booth, which is that the 298 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 3: Brewers knew every pitch he was gonna throw. They knew 299 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: every pitch he was gonna throw. He didn't make them 300 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 3: look silly on any pitches. I think he's gonna pitch 301 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: much better against the rest of the league than he'd 302 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 3: again did against the Brewers, because he's been a Brewer. 303 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 3: They know his book. They if he's tipping, they know 304 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 3: you hope he's not tipping, And if he is, you 305 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: hope that the Yankee scouts pick up on it, but 306 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 3: the Brewers knew everything he was going to throw. Luckily 307 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: he was able to work his way out of it. 308 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 7: Hey, good morning's Mary Beth. 309 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: Six o'clock out here. Boy, just finished watching the show 310 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: from yesterday. Sometimes the timeframe for watching your show is 311 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: a little different for me. Just want to say, it 312 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: is wonderful to win the first game, just really important. 313 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm always about the emotions, you know, So talking about emotions, 314 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god, the pictured down, Oh my god, it 315 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: was like, oh my god. So there we go. And 316 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: also I have to say, following up also on my 317 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: subtle just look at one Soto there he was left 318 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: at the plate, and yes he's not a bad. 319 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 7: Guy, but he he left the Yankees. So I have 320 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 7: a I got a feeling about just watching him stand 321 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 7: at the plate and the Mets lost. 322 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 3: Okay, listen, appreciate it, Mary Beth. Yeah, I mean, I'm 323 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: not gonna lie. The Scholden fraud or however you pronounce it, 324 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 3: I can't pronounce it. They say, don't make fun of 325 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: people if they pronounce things wrong, because that means they 326 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 3: learn them by reading them. That's the case with me 327 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: and Choden fraud or should and fraud. And it's also 328 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: not English, and I speak English. But taking pleasure in 329 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: someone else's failure is a real thing, and I'm not 330 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 3: going to be ashamed of it.

He's pretty much a 343 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: ninety four point seven mile an hour guy's that's about 344 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 3: his average villa, So he can go ninety five ninety six, 345 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 3: but most of the time he's going to be ninety 346 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 3: three to ninety five, So I wouldn't expect too much 347 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 3: more in the in the tank. Vilo Wise he's a 348 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: change up guy. He gets by on his movement and 349 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 3: it was wicked, but it took him a few minutes 350 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: to dial it in. 351 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 8: What's up, Derek, it's marked down in Virginia. I just 352 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 8: want to say great first show yesterday, and of course, 353 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 8: great win by our Yanks. I know it's a little 354 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 8: early in the season, but I've got a hot take 355 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 8: for you. This Judge character making forty million a year. 356 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 8: How dare he go one for four? He should have 357 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 8: had four home runs yesterday. Time to cut and run. 358 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 6: Let's trade him now while he still has value. Of course, 359 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 6: I'm kidding. I just wanted to call back to that 360 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 6: moronic voicemail that we got so much laughter over last 361 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 6: season from anyway, looking forward to another year in Syke Territory. 362 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: Go Yanks, appreciate it. Taber talk, Mary Beth, I didn't 363 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 3: catch everybody else's names. Thanks for the calls. Again. We're 364 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: gonna do voicemail shows in the mornings ten thirty in 365 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 3: the morning all season long. You can call in during 366 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: the game and I'll try and get it into the 367 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 3: show if I can work it in. I think it 368 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 3: adds a little bit of spice to the show. And 369 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: then for like the longer takes on the game. You know, 370 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: when I first started NYY Recaps a few years ago, 371 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 3: my initial thought was due a morning voicemail show. But 372 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 3: nobody's gonna call in if, like they don't know who 373 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 3: you are. So I had to kind of establish the show, 374 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 3: like I had to establish everything to get to the 375 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: point where we'd even get calls in the morning. So 376 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: now that we have it, we're gonna continue to do 377 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 3: the postgame show, but we're also mixing in the morning 378 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 3: show days after Yankees games, so that way we can 379 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 3: kind of talk through everything the day after. You know, 380 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 3: when I'm watching the game, I'm taking notes, preparing graphics, 381 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: all that stuff. I don't get to watch as a 382 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 3: fan as much as I used to, Like, I don't 383 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 3: get to watch I don't get to rewind and watch 384 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 3: a home run three or four times because I got 385 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 3: to keep up with the game and I got to 386 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 3: move swiftly. So afterwards, I always go to Yankees Avenue 387 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: and watch the highlights or whatever if they have the 388 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 3: Yankees win, And so you know, this morning, I've watched 389 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: the highlights a couple of times already, and it's just 390 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: a really good feeling to be undefeated. Now, I'm not 391 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 3: saying the Yankees are gonna go one hundred and sixty 392 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 3: two and zh and you know, I'm not even saying 393 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: that they're gonna, you know, win on Saturday. But you 394 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: know it just there's a different vibe from the fans. 395 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 3: There's a different vibe in my life when the Yankees 396 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: are undefeated and want to know you got the day off. 397 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 3: It's so much better than being zero to one and 398 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: having the customary day off after opening Day because you 399 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: got to sit there and soak in it.
