I'm here with TK 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 3: on the West Coast. We're gonna talk a little bit 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 3: of Yankees baseball. TK. How you doing, buddy? I heard 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 3: the LA traffic was kind of tough tonight. 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 4: Oh my god, man, I was. I was racing home 8 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 4: from work to get here. The LA traffic was pretty 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 4: rough tonight. But I know, I haven't been on a 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 4: little bit. I was out of town. I was at 11 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 4: a I was at my cousin's wedding. It was an 12 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 4: Indian So of course I got a henna tattoo done. 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 4: You gotta love the the interlocking and why. 14 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 3: So it is it is that permanent? 15 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 5: No? 16 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 4: No, no, it's for like two to three weeks. But yeah, 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 4: it's a henna tattoo and it's supposed to be a 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 4: good omen So I was like, yeah, let's do it. 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,959 Speaker 4: So interlocking and why. 20 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: So wait a second, what day did you get that? 21 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 4: I got that done on Friday that just passed. 22 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: Yes, so they haven't they haven't lost since you got it. 23 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: Nope. 24 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: I mean I'm just saying. I'm just saying, TK, that 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 3: might be. That might be. You know, the butterfly. Have 26 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 3: you ever heard the butterfly effect? You know, butterfly flaps, 27 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: it swings in Japan, you get a tsunami in California 28 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: or whatever. You know, little things you never know. When 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: I was growing up, I had this this Bernie Williams 30 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: miniature bottle head and I still got it. So it 31 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: came in a Wheatie's box, right, it was like a giveaway, 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: and I put it. The Yankees were down to nothing 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: in the World Series, and so I put it on 34 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 3: a shelf and I was like, I had it placed 35 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: at the highest, like it was the highest position on 36 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 3: the shelf. I was like, he's he's been great this postseason. 37 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: You know, he had a big ninety six. So I 38 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: was like, I'm going to elevate him above everyone else. 39 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: And I put it the top shelf. And then they 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: didn't lose again the rest of this year. And I 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: still keep it at the highest possible shelf. What thirty 42 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: five years later or however, how long ago is that? 43 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 3: Twenty more, twenty twenty see eight years later. Yeah, So 44 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: I'm not great at I'm not great at math, but 45 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 3: I thought we could just take some voicemails tonight kind 46 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: of talk things over here as we're a couple of 47 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: wins from the World series. Generally, for those of you 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 3: who you know don't have access to the behind the 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: scenes stuff. When Terrence and I are you know, me 50 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: and Aiden or whoever do a podcast, a lot of 51 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 3: times we'll have like set questions in a row and 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: we'll kind of just have a natural flow and topics 53 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: that we want to discuss and very focused. But tonight 54 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: we just wanted to take your voicemails and just talk 55 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,079 Speaker 3: about whatever you guys want to talk about. So I'm 56 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: gonna play two real quick voicemails that are pretty short. 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, this see from Quavelan. You've gotta be kidding me. 58 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 6: With the Yankees base running tonight, this is like watching 59 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 6: not only a minor league game. I could go watch 60 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 6: a Pony League game and see this kind of base running. 61 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 6: There's something has to be done with these guys in 62 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 6: this base running. 63 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 7: Well, you know, Susan, the Yankees just run the bases 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 7: like drunks. I didn't even know I could get them 65 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 7: on my smart. 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: Somebody came over and showed me. 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,399 Speaker 8: That's what they do, run the bases like drunks. 68 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, things things are pretty good TK in terms of 69 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 3: the Yankees right now, but the base running has been 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 3: a huge, huge issue. My man, I don't even know 71 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: what can be done. It's too late in the season 72 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: to do anything about it. I mean, hit home runs, 73 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: you know, you just have to. Yeah, I don't know. 74 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: I don't know any thoughts. 75 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, hit home runs, out slugged the other team. At 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: this point, the team is the team now that this 77 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 4: is it where ride or die with them. I feel 78 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: like the base running has been pretty problematic all year long, 79 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: especially with certain guys. When Jazz got picked off, man, 80 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 4: I cringed because I was, you know, you know better 81 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: than anybody. I'm a huge Jazz guy. I was all 82 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: for it. I still am. I still think he'll have 83 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: an impact, a big impact in one of these games 84 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: coming up. And then I think that he's kind of 85 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: added an element that the Yankees didn't have post deadline, 86 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: but that just can't happen inexcusable. In the playoffs, runs 87 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: are so hard to come by, so valuable. You're gonna 88 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 4: see better pitching, especially in a situation with Cleveland where 89 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: that's a team where if they have a lead in 90 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 4: the seventh inning, the game's over. I know Emmanuel Passe 91 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 4: kind of got shelled by Detroit, but before that game, 92 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 4: I think he had only given up six earned runs 93 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 4: in the entire season. He's gonna be a cy Young 94 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 4: candidate as a closer. I don't think you guys understand 95 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 4: like how unbelievable that is, and how unbelievable that people 96 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: get it. 97 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,679 Speaker 3: People get it. I mean we hear in the comments 98 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: all the time. People know. But the way that you 99 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: can neutralize him is by having a lead. That's all 100 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 3: it takes. And the Yankees have been doing the right thing. 101 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,480 Speaker 3: They've been scoring early in the game and getting solid 102 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: starting pitching. I'm feeling pretty good about Clark Schmidt tomorrow 103 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: because you know, the Guardians, even though they're at home 104 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 3: and they're gonna have that crowd, they got a bottom 105 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: ten offense in the league this year, and Clark Schmidt 106 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: is a a damn damn good pitcher. I don't think 107 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 3: people give him enough credit outside of Yankee universe, and 108 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: the fact that he got injured this year kind of, 109 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: you know, put a damper on his season. But when 110 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: he went down, he was pitching like a cy Young 111 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 3: candidate and he had finally conquered that second time or 112 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: that third time through the order thing where he went 113 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: seven innings. A couple of times I think he went 114 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: eight innings, So I'm counting on a big outing from him. 115 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: And he pitched really well against the Guardians earlier this year, 116 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: so I think he's gonna have a big night. Let's 117 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: get to this next voicemail about Aaron Jedge. 118 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: Well is up, Derek. 119 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 7: This is Jake from Connecticut, Small Little Point one, a maker. 120 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 7: I was talking to a couple of friends of mine. 121 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 7: I really believe in my heart that as soon as 122 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 7: Judge believes that pressure valve, Austin Wells and Jazz are 123 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 7: also going to do the same thing. And it's a 124 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 7: very small sample size, but when Judge hit that home run, 125 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 7: Wells barreled five balls in that at that I think 126 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 7: if Joe is putting barrels on baseballs, it's going to 127 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 7: feed the other adrenaline junkies in that lineup, like a 128 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 7: Wells and New Jazz, who kind of lived for that moment. 129 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 7: And if the moment isn't solely on them, I think 130 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,799 Speaker 7: they're gonna find themselves playing their brand of baseball much better. 131 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 7: I hope we get to converse on this on the show. 132 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 7: Appreciate your job, Babi, do a great job. 133 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 3: Appreciate the call man. That's a great call. I found 134 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: myself listening to that, and I hadn't even thought about that. 135 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 3: But yes, Wells did have better swings after that home 136 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 3: run by Judge. Now maybe that's a product of just 137 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: a pitcher being rattled and leaving too many pitches over 138 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 3: the place. He still didn't get a hit. He did 139 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: have better swings, and I don't think he's going to 140 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: be in the lineup tomorrow. Boone was already talking about 141 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: how against the lefty Boyd Travino will likely be in there. 142 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: But the whole thing about the team, it's not just 143 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: Judge who released the pressure valve for himself, right. I 144 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 3: feel like when Judge is hitting, it opens up everyone 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,039 Speaker 3: else to play better. You think about the Sea the 146 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: series this year where he was really hot. I mean 147 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: everything explodes around him. Right. He sets the tone, He 148 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: breaks the game open, he rattles pitchers, and when he's 149 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: hitting balls four hundred and fifty feet effortlessly, especially he's 150 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: doing it multiple times per game, which he's been known 151 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 3: to do, it just deflates the opposition. Any thoughts on 152 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: that call. 153 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 4: TK Yeah, one hundred percent. I felt that way as well. 154 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: I was watching the game last night. It's like Well's 155 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: had a couple of really good swings laced a couple 156 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 4: of foul balls that if they were fair or home runs. 157 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 4: I think there were like two or three of those. 158 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, we saw in the twenty twenty three season 159 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: when they missed the postseason, as soon as Judge got heard, 160 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 4: the whole team was flat. When Judge goes, the whole 161 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: team goes. As the captain of the team, the leader 162 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: of the team. For a reason, he has a certain aura, 163 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 4: a certain presence I think in the clubhouse and on 164 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 4: the field as well. I think the other team can 165 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: feel it. I mean, even Stephen Bote was saying, I 166 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: love watching the guy hit him a baseball fan, because 167 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 4: he's just so unbelievably impressive. It's funny too, because in 168 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 4: the Kansas City he had like a three eighty nine 169 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 4: on base So even when he's awful, he's good, right. 170 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 4: But yeah, I totally agree with that. I think that 171 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 4: this team will go. If Judge goes, the whole team 172 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 4: will go. It's pretty remarkable that they're five and one 173 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 4: in the postseason, even despite Judge struggling out of the gate. 174 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: But that really makes me feel confident, man, because if 175 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 4: Judge locks it in, this team can this lineup can 176 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 4: very quickly become dangerous, especially with Nuclear Stanton man Man 177 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 4: has he. 178 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: I mean, we talked about that all year long. We 179 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 3: said all year like, you got to keep him around 180 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: because like a light clock work in October, he shows 181 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 3: up and he did this year and even yesterday, I 182 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 3: thought he had some good swings, like he didn't have 183 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: any results, he just missed on one. I thought he 184 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: took some close pitches when he's seeing the ball well. 185 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: And somebody else called in and made a good point 186 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 3: that you know that Bali hit up the middle against 187 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: the Royals in the Division Series, almost more impressive than 188 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 3: the home run because it was like one hundred mile 189 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 3: an hour pitch and he doesn't normally do that. So 190 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: the adrenaline like he's got a way to channel that 191 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 3: are not unlike the way Carlos Rodin did the other night. 192 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 3: So I'm psyched about Nuclear standing showing up. That makes 193 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 3: this whole line up better. 194 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 9: Here's the next call, Hey, Derek, Bobby, the bear down 195 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 9: here in South America. Loving your show, man, always love 196 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 9: your show. I wanted to chime in on this segment 197 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 9: of Yankee fans, hopefully a small segment, that want the 198 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 9: Dodgers to reach the World Series as opposed to the Mets. 199 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 9: I'm trying to understand their thinking, and my conclusion is 200 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 9: that they are just chicken hearted based on that. 201 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: Three to four game result earlier in the season. I mean, 202 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: they tell me that they hate the Mets so much 203 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: that they would rather face the Dodgers, and then I. 204 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 9: Come back and tell them, oh, you just want to 205 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 9: face the Dodgers. 206 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: Because they I don't have any pitching. 207 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: Dude, help me out here. Help me understand these fans. 208 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 9: Because I would love a Subway series. 209 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: That one hundred percent agree. I want the Subway Series. 210 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: I want the Mets, and they might beat us. It 211 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 3: might be a better series, right. They got a couple 212 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: of lefties that I think would be very tough against 213 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 3: the Yankees. But also, you know, Shohay versus Judge would 214 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 3: be awesome for baseball. You know, East Coast versus West Coast. 215 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: Yankees and Dodgers haven't played since nineteen eighty one. And 216 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 3: I know you're kind of tired from that traffic and 217 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 3: Russian to get set up. So I'll just further tell 218 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: this story that my dad told me that he just 219 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: emailed me about last night. I mentioned on the postgame 220 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: show that the night that Reggie Jackson hit three home 221 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 3: runs against the Dodgers, he had been working in the 222 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: telephone company in New York and a cow had wandered 223 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: in the building. I got a lot of comments like, 224 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: there's got to be more of this story, so I 225 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: got the full details on the story. So it was 226 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: obviously nineteen seventy seven and my dad was working at 227 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: the phone company. He said the walls were about, you know, 228 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: two feet thick or whatever, concrete, and you couldn't get 229 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 3: a radio signal, so he couldn't listen to the ball game. 230 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 3: There's no TVs in there. So what he did, he's 231 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: working the night shift. He opened up the back doors, 232 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 3: Like he pulled this pickup truck right up to the 233 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: back doors and turned it really loud. Now, just so 234 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: happens that the telephone company was right across the street 235 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: from a cattle pasture. So he's in there listening to 236 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 3: the game and he hears something in the hallway, just 237 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 3: a little patter pitter petter, And he goes out there 238 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 3: and there's a two thousand pound cow wandering in the hallway. 239 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: And he said he thought he was gonna lose his job. 240 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 3: I'm gonna flush his career. I'd be homeless, Derek now, 241 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 3: but now he basically when he stood up and approached 242 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 3: the cow, it ran out the door. So what he 243 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: did was he took a bunch of chairs and piled 244 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 3: them up in the doorways of the cow couldn't get 245 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 3: back in, but the radio waves could still pass through, 246 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 3: and he was able to listen to Reggie. He hit 247 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,719 Speaker 3: the three home runs. So, I mean, Dodgers Yankees World 248 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: Series would be fun, but I want the Mets. What 249 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 3: do you think? 250 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: Oh my god, I don't think I've disagreed with one 251 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 4: of your takes. More I a couple things. I live 252 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: in Los Angeles. Dodgers Stadium is twenty minutes away from me, 253 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 4: So that's my selfish reason. So but let's get that 254 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 4: that bias out of the way. Why on earth would 255 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: I root for the Mets, Dude? They make me sick 256 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: to my stomach. First of all, if there is a 257 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 4: subway series, Okay, let's just entertain this idea for a second. 258 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: If there's a Subway series, god forbid, they beat us 259 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 4: and they take Juan Soto in a free agency. I 260 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 4: don't know, however, how Yankee fans can get over that, 261 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, I don't. I can't deal 262 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 4: with that. And why would I be rooting for the 263 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: Mets success. They're a team that's going to have an 264 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 4: enormous amount of money. 265 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 3: Because it'll be fun to beat them in the World Series, Terrence, 266 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: it'll be if they lose. What if what if an 267 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 3: asteroid hits Earth tomorrow and we all get annihilated? What 268 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 3: if I can't, I you can't live your life? And 269 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: what if? Man, you got a hacky sack up and 270 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 3: say we can beat those Mutts. 271 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 4: Listen, Yankees Dodgers also is better for the game, just 272 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: simply it's better probably, yes, yeah, So there's that reason. 273 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: It's better for the game. Also, Dodgers have no pitching whatsoever. 274 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: I understand they have Shotani and they have Freddy Freeman 275 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 4: and Mookie Bets. Have Freddy Freeman and Mookie Bets really 276 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 4: hit this postseason? It's really Tommy show Hey for them, 277 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 4: right show Hayes. 278 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: Hit a little bit, and Mookie's heating up. And I 279 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 3: do agree the Yankees have a better chance to beat 280 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. I think if the Yankees play the Dodgers, 281 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 3: victory is certain, not probable. Certain. But the Mets, I 282 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 3: want that Subway series. I just think it would be amazing. 283 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 6: Man. 284 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 3: I think the city would be on fire. I would 285 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 3: be the second richest bald guy to Jeff Bezos. That's 286 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: what would happen to the Dodgers. 287 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 4: It's a big fan by no, I absolutely not. I 288 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 4: want the Dodgers. I do not want the Mets. And 289 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 4: also I'm seeing a lot of like the Met fans 290 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 4: going like, oh, the Yankees, they've had such an easy road. 291 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: It's not our fault. The Orioles and the Astros. 292 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 3: Choked, all right, yeah they choked. 293 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 4: So also like the Yankees got the number one seed, 294 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 4: it's supposed to be an easier. 295 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 3: Road than the mess right, Exactly. 296 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 4: What is this argument, this narrative that they're trying to push, Like, 297 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 4: I don't understand that you don't pick who you play, 298 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 4: You just beat who you play. That's it. 299 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta you gotta play who's in front of 300 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: you get to the call here about Rizzo and Wells. 301 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: Austin Wells and Anthony Rizzo should swap their places in 302 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: the order right now. Rizzo's been hot since he came back, 303 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: even with those fractured fingers, and Wells cannot hit a 304 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: baseball to save his life right now, and defense has 305 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: been very valuable. But I think you have to, like 306 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: you said your podcast last night, beat the hot hand, 307 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: and I think Rizzo is that solution right now. Thank 308 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 2: you have a great day, budd. 309 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I agree with playing the hot hand there. 310 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: I want to see Rizzo correct me if I'm wrong. TK. 311 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 3: You've you've watched pretty much every Yankees game this year, right, 312 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: you may be missed a handful or whatever. This is 313 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: the best that Anthony Rizzo has looked all year, all year. 314 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: I mean, he is hitting the ball harder than he 315 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: has all year. Part of me hopes that you know 316 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: he's back, like it's he's one hundred percent right, You 317 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 3: look like you have something important to say. 318 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, this is the best Rizzo's looks 319 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: since Tatis ran into him. 320 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, last year. You're you're you're not wrong on 321 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: that since then? Yeah, And I I like him in 322 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: the in the middle of the order. I think that 323 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 3: would be a great way to improve the lineup. But 324 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 3: Yankees are facing a lefty tomorrow, and you got Stanton 325 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: probably hitting clean up according to Aaron Boone. Now Travigno, 326 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: so yeah, he does hit lefties fairly well. But you 327 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 3: still can see I think Stanton in the cleanup spot tomorrow. Now, 328 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 3: Austin Well is probably gonna get the day off with 329 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: Travigno behind the plate and h and a lefty on 330 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 3: the mound. By the way, everybody, Tomorrow's game five eight 331 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: pm Eastern, so don't miss it. Don't show up at 332 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: eight o'clock looking to turn on the game and you 333 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 3: see it's been over for twenty minutes. Okay, I've I've 334 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 3: almost had that before where I went and checked just offhand, 335 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: like what time is the game? Oh shit, it starts 336 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 3: in ten minutes. That's happened to me before in my life. 337 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 4: So ive eight eastern. Oh I guess because the game 338 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 4: is in Cleveland, yes, yeah, okay. 339 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: No, Cleveland's East coast. But it's just the early game, 340 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: and then the Mets and Dodgers played the late game, 341 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 3: so whack. Okay, yeah, fine, it is kind of I 342 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 3: think more people need to bring that phrase back. Whack. 343 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: I have a friend who says whack all the time. 344 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: We went to this restaurant like a week ago, and 345 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 3: we both were eating our food and it was like 346 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: not good. Like we went to this little pizza place. 347 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: It was one of these little shacks that's like, you know, 348 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 3: got the arcade and like kind of the nineties decor, 349 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: and we went there for kind of the nostalgia of like, hey, 350 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 3: let's go where we would have eaten when we were like, 351 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 3: you know, teenagers or whatever. And we went in there 352 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: and we're both like halfway through our pizza and I 353 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: just we're both kind of realizing it's not good at 354 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 3: the same time. And I look at him and he 355 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 3: looks at me and he goes, whack. I've laughed forever. 356 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 4: Get on the car his whack. 357 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 6: Little Hey, Derek, do you think we'll see Marcus Stroman 358 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 6: in Cleveland? 359 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 3: I hope not. Maybe on the bench, you know, if 360 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 3: he if he's even warming up. It's not a good 361 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 3: time for the Yankees. I want to see Clark Schmidt 362 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 3: go six innings tomorrow, and I want to see him 363 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 3: turn it over to Hamilton or Cousins and then Holmes 364 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: or Holmes and then Hamilton and then Weaver. And by 365 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 3: the way, we haven't talked enough about Luke Weaver. We 366 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: got another call coming up on him in a minute. 367 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: But the bullpen has been outstanding. 368 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 4: Bro Yeah, yeah, I've been having this joke on this 369 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 4: ongoing joke with my dad. You know the episode of 370 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 4: South Park where Randy he intentionally gives himself testicular cancer 371 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,719 Speaker 4: because he wants a medical marijuana card and he's like 372 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 4: he's he's like wheelbarrowing around his cubes and stuff like that. 373 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 4: I was like, that's Luke Weaver right there, like like no, 374 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: like he is just unbelievable. I remember when the Braves 375 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 4: won the World's Series, they were calling mass Tech. They 376 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 4: were calling him Nutsack. That was his nickname on the team. 377 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 2: And I was. 378 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 10: Like, that's that's where Luke Weaver is right now, because 379 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 10: bro Stel, it's unbelievable and he's got this like really 380 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 10: kind of funny personality, wiry guy, and then he just locks. 381 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 4: It in when he's in the game. I actually wanted 382 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 4: to ask you, Derek. When they brought him in last night, 383 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 4: I was kind of like, man, are they over using him. 384 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 4: I almost would have rather gone Hamilton, so he had 385 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 4: I wouldn't have used. 386 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: Him last night with a four run lead, I wouldn't 387 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 3: have used him. I wouldn't. 388 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: I was like, I was like, I would have gone 389 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 4: Hamilton in that situation. And then he gets the night 390 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 4: off plus the travel day off to be fresh, and. 391 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: Then you can use him for two winnings, right, Yeah, 392 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 3: if you need to and match up with Class A. 393 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 3: Let's say they bring in Class A in a Thaie game. 394 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: You know you can bring in Weaver in a TI 395 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 3: game in matchup. They still might do that, right, and 396 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 3: you can still have a fresh Hamilton and a fresh Cousins. 397 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,199 Speaker 3: And Hamilton and Cousins have both been injured this year, 398 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: so you don't know, like maybe they're resting them for 399 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: health reasons, Like maybe they're better if they get three 400 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 3: or four days rest rather than just one. So I 401 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 3: don't know. We'll see, all right. We got a call 402 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 3: here from Brian, Brian regular caller. 403 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 8: I clicked it, See what's going on, Derek? This is 404 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 8: Brian had more questions based voicemail today. I was curious 405 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 8: about a few things and want to get your take 406 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 8: on them. 407 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 5: First off, I. 408 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 8: Was noticing anyway that Cole has you know, had that 409 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 8: one really impressive start against the. 410 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 6: Royals, there also had. 411 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 8: Not such an impressive start against the Royals and obviously 412 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 8: was battling through it last night. Is there any part 413 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 8: of you that is worried about Cole moving forward that 414 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 8: we're not going to get that ace level production that 415 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 8: we're really expecting from them. The other thing I wanted 416 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 8: to really add asking kind of hone in on was 417 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 8: the base running of the Yankees. It didn't really cost 418 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 8: us as far as the game last night, but obviously 419 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 8: that that could be a complete momentum killer and could 420 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 8: really really uh you know, pop pop a tire of 421 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 8: a Yankee rally if if they're moving, you just don't 422 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 8: like to see it. 423 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 6: That was terrible, terrible. 424 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 3: I'm stop there because about another minute left. But uh yeah, 425 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 3: I uh, let's I'll tackle Cole and you tackle the 426 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: base running. We can just figure out what we can do. 427 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 3: And it's too late to do anything this year. But uh, Cole, 428 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 3: I think, as I mentioned last night, you know he's 429 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 3: he's a diminished ace, right, He's still an ace mentally, right, 430 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 3: he still knows how to pitch. Still knows how to 431 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 3: work out of jams. But what Aeric Kratz said to 432 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: me today, he was talking about the high fastballs that 433 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 3: they kept fouling off and the ones they were popping 434 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 3: up against the Royals in Game four. He said, those 435 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: are supposed to be punchies. He's trying to get swings 436 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 3: and misses there, and he's just lost a tick, right, 437 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 3: I mean, he had the elbow thing this year. What 438 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 3: we're seeing is a pitcher who's in decline. He's in 439 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 3: the last leg of his his dominance, and the next 440 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 3: few years are going to be tough. And that's why 441 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: I think if he opts out, it's not despite he 442 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 3: could he could go three and zero in the World 443 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: Series and lead the Yankees to a championship. If he 444 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 3: opts out, I think you'll let him walk because as 445 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 3: he gets older, that arm is going to start to 446 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 3: lose more and more of his uh his you know, 447 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 3: I guess dominance, right, and uh, I think we're just 448 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 3: seeing the very beginning of him losing a tick. Base running, yeah, 449 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know s anything we can 450 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 3: do about that. 451 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, the base running, I think it kind of is 452 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 4: what it is. I wanted to respond to the cold there. 453 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 4: I the more I'm seeing him pitching the playoffs, the 454 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 4: more I'm kind of agreeing with you where I'm almost 455 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 4: like daring him to opt out. At this point, I 456 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 4: don't know if he will. It's going to be really 457 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 4: interesting to see if he will. But resigning Juan Soda 458 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 4: is obviously going to be the priority, and that, you know, 459 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 4: you got to see what you got in the minor 460 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 4: league is maybe a Corbyn Burn somebody like that if 461 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 4: they want to pivot. But with Garrett Cole, I do 462 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 4: think he's such a such a professor of the game, 463 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 4: a savant, he will be able to age gracefully. That's 464 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 4: just me. I think he'll be able to adjust his 465 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: personal CC did it, Verlander did it. I think he'll 466 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 4: be able to have success closer to his forties, just 467 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 4: for that reason if he's even if he is only 468 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 4: like ninety five, just he's just gonna have to hone 469 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 4: in on the command a little bit more and maybe 470 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 4: the mix up some pitches. But the reason I'm not 471 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 4: that concerned is because he's only thrown it like fifteen 472 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 4: times this year. But sometimes he'll just throw like a 473 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 4: ninety eight mile an hour sinker like it's still in there. 474 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: It's just that he's not doing it every pitch. The 475 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: most unhittable Garrett Cole has ever been in his careers, 476 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 4: unfortunately twenty nineteen Houston Astros. I mean that guy's with 477 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 4: sticky stuff. Garret Cole, I mean that guy is just unbelievable. 478 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy was unstoppable. 479 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, literally on a different planet. And the Yankees didn't 480 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 4: want to give up Chance Adams to the Pittsburgh Pirates 481 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 4: for Garret Cole. But that's a different story. But I 482 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 4: don't think he'll he'll he's obviously never going to be 483 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,719 Speaker 4: that picture again. He's he's on the wrong side of thirty. 484 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 4: But I don't think he's going to be ineffective. He 485 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 4: may have one year like CC did where he was 486 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: kind of awful because it was a transitional year from 487 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 4: becoming from basically transitioning from a power pitcher to more 488 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 4: of like a finesse pitcher, and then we're gonna see 489 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: that from Garrett as well. But I think he'll be 490 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 4: able to do it just because he's such a smart guy. 491 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: With base key, I will say this, his pitch mix 492 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: is a least like he can throw everything. He's wicked. 493 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 7: You know. 494 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: At worst case, maybe he becomes Seth Lugo. I don't know, 495 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: but the elbow injury scares me. 496 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 5: Okay, let's hit the field. I like that on your podcast. 497 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 5: Keep it up. The monkey off his back? Now people 498 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 5: are going to shut up and leave the man alone 499 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: and let him do his thing.

But it doesn't matter what he 516 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 3: looks like or how young he looks.

That's a different conversation. They're definitely 523 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 4: gonna pick up the option, and I don't think they 524 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 4: like they'll definitely try to resign him, and maybe they'll 525 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 4: try to negotiate. Hey, after this year your contract, give 526 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: an extra two years. 527 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 3: Give him an extra two years. I mean, you know 528 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 3: he's gonna. 529 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: Be thirty one. 530 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 4: Anthony Volpi also has a baby pity, but he's like, 531 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 4: legitimately like twenty three. 532 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 3: He's a baby. He's younger than year. 533 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 4: He is a baby. But I love Luke Weaver because 534 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 4: that's a guy who just grinded, you know what I mean. 535 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 4: He went he was on the Mariners and the Reds, 536 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 4: and he was a starter and he had like a 537 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 4: six era and everyone thought he was gonna be just 538 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 4: like a whatever. Look, you made it to the major leagues. 539 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 4: You're clearly a phenomenal baseball player. But when you're looking 540 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 4: at the lens of the major leagues, like, compared to 541 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 4: those players, he wasn't really gonna be anything. Then he 542 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 4: shows up to Yankee Stadium and Matt Blake just like 543 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 4: does a little bit of juju on him and just 544 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 4: fixes him and just turns him into this. Gotta give 545 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: credit to Luke Weaver, but dude, mac Blake is probably 546 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 4: a top three pitching coach in the game. And I 547 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 4: knew that he would because Cleveland just churns those guys out. 548 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 4: He's coming out of that system. I was like, whatever 549 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 4: Cleveland's got in the water with those pitchers, they just 550 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,719 Speaker 4: figure it out. I don't know what it is. 551 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: Well, TK, I'm thinking this series does not come back 552 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 3: to New York City. I think the Yankees are gonna 553 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: win at least two out of three. They might not 554 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 3: win all you know, they went I win the next two, 555 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 3: but I think they're gonna at least take two out 556 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 3: of three. I think they're done in. They're done with 557 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 3: American League play at Yankee Stadium this year, and I 558 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 3: think the Mets or Dodgers are next. And you know, 559 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: different people have different preferences on that, but I just 560 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 3: hope everybody has a good time. Appreciate everybody who called in. 561 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 3: Thanks a lot, TK, Appreciate all the stuff you've done 562 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 3: for us this year, and hopefully we'll have you on 563 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 3: again here before the end of the season, whether it's 564 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: a postgame show, whether it's one of these. I kind 565 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,400 Speaker 3: of like these off day chats. I think we maybe 566 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 3: we should make this a thing as we as we 567 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 3: moved through, it's a lot easier and it's a lot 568 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 3: more relaxed for me to just kind of riff here. 569 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 3: But I appreciate everybody who called in and commented and watched. 570 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 3: Like and subscribe, and go ahead and follow us on 571 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 3: all your favorite podcast platforms.
