1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: All right, that's it to feel. 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 2: Oh wanted to talk at all. 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, September twenty fourth, and the Yankees were 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: taking on the Orioles in game one of a three 5 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: game set in the Bronx. With a win, the Yankees 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: would be American League Eastern Division champions. My recap, your 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: reactions coming up next. This has Pinstripe territory. Welcome We 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: got Neil h Stripe territory just when they. 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: Pull me back. 10 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, welcome back. I don't know about you, guys, 11 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: but a lot of things bothered me about that game. 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: We had a number of obvious opportunities based running mistakes 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: by Glaber Torres uh not bunting in a key situation 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: where you could have tied the game. Just a lot 15 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: of unserious baseball tonight from the New York Yankees. One 16 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: positive we got John Sterling back on the radio. So 17 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: I'm in North Carolina and the games are blacked out 18 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: the yank Yes Network games are blacked out because the 19 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Oriols are considered the local team, even though it's a 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,320 Speaker 1: five hour drive to go to a game, and so 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: I have to watch those games on the Oriols Network. 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: So what I typically do if I'm not running my 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: VPN is I put on the Yankees radio broadcast and 24 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: sync it up with the game. So tonight I had 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 1: actually forgotten about it, And to my pleasant surprise, John 26 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: sterling back in the booth today. He'll be back in 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: there for the entire homestand and for the playoffs. However 28 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: long that run lasts, not gonna last very long if 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: you play like this, Excuse me. It was fun to 30 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: hear him call Aaron Judges fifty sixth home run in 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: the season. I don't think we've heard him call Wan 32 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Sota home run yet, so I'm looking forward to that. 33 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: But not a fun night for the Yankees. Was not 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: a good night in the stadium. You could feel the 35 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: energy was kind of down, kind of lethargic. The offense 36 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: was lethargic, and the Orioles all of a sudden getting 37 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: some guys back crushing the baseball again. And that's got 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: to worry you if you're the Yankees, because they got 39 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: some momentum now in this series. Yankee should have taken 40 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: advantage of this evening and just put their foot on 41 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: the Oriol's throat. But low energy in the stadium is 42 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: still about the seventh inning minie rally and the Yankees 43 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: had a chance to tie the game, but Glabor Torres 44 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: got thrown out at third base again. This guy's base 45 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: running absolute crime against humanity. Let's talk a little bit 46 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: about Clark Schmidt. Not his best outing tonight, five and 47 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: the third innings, three earned runs, four hits, one walk, 48 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: seven strikeouts. E goes up to two point five five 49 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: second start in a row that he was kind of laboring. 50 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: And one of the things I saw from him tonight 51 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: was something that I hadn't seen from him in a while, 52 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: and that was he reverted back to his old mechanics 53 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: a little bit, where he was kind of flying open 54 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: with his front side. You saw him falling off towards 55 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: first base a number of times. That's a telltale sign 56 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: that you know, your momentum is exploding through your front 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: shoulder right and it takes you towards the first baseline. 58 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: And he was missing arms side with his pitches a 59 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: lot of times, trying to spot balls, you know, glove side. 60 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: They would leak out over the plate, and that's why 61 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: he got hit four hits, including a home run tonight. 62 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if it's rust, you know, 63 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but just not a 64 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: good start for him. And you know, at this point 65 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: every start is an audition to get into playoff rotation. 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: Now I think he's in. I think he's in for sure. 67 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: But the way that Nestor Cortez has been throwing the ball, 68 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: the way that Carlos Rodin has been throwing the ball, 69 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Luis Heel continues to throw the ball well, more walks 70 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: than you'd like, but still, you know, pitching pretty successfully. 71 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: And Garrett Cole obviously not going anywhere from your rotation. 72 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: You know, he might have one more chance to get 73 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: into the playoff rotation. We'll see. So since this is 74 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: one of those nights where the you know, the recap 75 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: isn't going to be super exciting because Yankees didn't do 76 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: much offensively, I thought we would take some voicemails. So 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna get started here. First call is about Luke Weaver. 78 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: Hi, Derek, this is Patrick. I just want to say 79 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 3: I think Luke Leavers should be the closic going forward, 80 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: including the postseasons. I think he has mistakes. 81 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I didn't realize that he had thrown 82 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: over eighty innings already this year. It's weird. If you 83 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: had asked me, I would have said he'd thrown maybe 84 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: forty to fifty innings, right, And that's a good thing. 85 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: That means that he has forgettable easy innings, you know. 86 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: And since becoming the closer, he's been striking out a 87 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: ton of guys. The fastball has been touching ninety eight, 88 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: the change up has been filthy. He's got a Tommy 89 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Kinley fastball with an old Tommy Kainley, you know when 90 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: he was when he first came to the Yankees kind 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: of fastball, ninety eight miles an hour. And his fifth percentage, 92 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: according to Baseball Savant, is in the ninety fourth percentile. 93 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: His strikeout percentage is in the ninety second percentile. Go 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: check out his metrics. That is what a closer looks like. 95 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: Calling about why they keep taking Domingas out, especially with 96 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: the right hand pitcher hitting to night and they got 97 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: Stanton in there, and why not and Woodugo, why not 98 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: da kim or put him in left field on it? 99 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 3: Judge of dh whack he's taking him in and out 100 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: of the lineup. 101 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: I think, honestly, of all the times that Boone has 102 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: sat Dominguez since he's come up. Tonight was the one 103 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: that surprised me the least, because it's it's almost politics, right. 104 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: Verdugo has played one hundred and forty five games for 105 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: this team this year, and regardless of whether or not 106 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: it was the better matchup tonight, I think Boone wanted 107 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: the Yankees to clinch with Verdugo on the field. I 108 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: would have preferred to see Dominguez in the lineup, but 109 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: I kind of understand from an old school perspective what 110 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: Boone was doing there. But you know, Verdugo didn't do 111 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: much today, and you know they brought in Dominguez late 112 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: in the game against the guy throwing one hundred miles 113 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: an hour with a nasty cutter exploded his bat. And 114 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 1: I think that now it's all hands on deck, right. 115 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: We tried to, you know, put our ideal lineup on 116 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: the field tonight and you know, give everybody happy feelings 117 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: to clinch. But now you gotta win some ball games. 118 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: And I think Domingus has to be in the lineup tomorrow. 119 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: But I think Dominga should be in a lineup every day. 120 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: I think reps are what he needs. Right now, And 121 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: they waited too long to call him up because now 122 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: you're under pressure waiting for him to get hot. He 123 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: was just starting to swing the bat a little bit 124 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: better in Oakland, Seattle. He had that home run in Seattle. 125 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: He had another home run in Oakland. He hit the 126 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: ball hard a few times in Oakland, and you know, 127 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: I kind of figured they would sit him tonight. But 128 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: having two days off, you know, and then to having 129 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: to come in and face a guy throwing one hundred 130 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: miles an hour not great for your timing both. Simpson says, 131 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: time to stop being nice and being a buddy to players. 132 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: I gotta say I agree. Gotta say I agree. Sparkle 133 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: sweet says Burns Tomorrow, e Flyn Thursday. Orioles might, Sweet, well, 134 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: I mean they might. That's baseball. As long as Yankees 135 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: win one more game this season, that's all you need, 136 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, that's all you need. Win one game the 137 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: rest of the way and your Al East chance. But yes, 138 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: the Orioles have some good pitching and it's not going 139 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: to be easy. It is not going to be easy. 140 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, this is Matt in New Jersey. First time, 141 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: long time I was listening to your Voicemails episode where 142 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: you were mentioning great games that you've been to and 143 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 3: that I said, oh, I should have called in and 144 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 3: mentioned earlier this year, I took my son to his 145 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: first Yankee game and we went with a friend of 146 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 3: mine who I've known since high school and his son 147 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 3: and Ben Wright hit three home runs in the game, 148 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 3: and then on the way home Susman traffic, we streamed 149 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 3: your channel and watched you shave your head. It's a 150 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: great day and that's the core memory for me and 151 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 3: my son. So thanks for that. 152 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: Wow, what a great call. That made me feel really good. 153 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: That's why I do this. If the Yankees don't win 154 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: the World Series, that game will probably be the high 155 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: point memory for me this season. Uh, there's been lots 156 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: of good stuff. The Soto getting clutch home runs in 157 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: in San Francisco. You know, we had the Grand Slam 158 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: by judge against the Red Sox. We had Jazz Chishom 159 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: hitting all those home runs against the Phillies. By the way, 160 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: Jass chism have not been swinging the bat good. He 161 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: went oh for four tonight. But you know, we'll see 162 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: what happens in the playoffs. But that three run or 163 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: that three home run game from Rice and the subsequent 164 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: head shaving's core memory for me too. You know, we 165 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: made it onto the Yankees broadcast, even though they didn't 166 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: say my name. We made it into the New York Post, 167 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: and honestly, I got a lot of compliments from my 168 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: friends on you know, both the shape and shininess of 169 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: my head. So it worked out. Joseph Johnson says Glaver's 170 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: defense has been so so bad that we forgot how 171 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: bad his base running was. I didn't forget Pepperidge Farms, 172 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: remembers Franklin. Lopez says, e f and Glaber gave the 173 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: game and killed the entire mood in the stadium and 174 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: in the bench. You know, I felt like the stadium's 175 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: energy was bad all night, but you could feel sort 176 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: of the momentum growing there. I think if Glabra Taurus 177 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: stays on third base, they probably I don't know if 178 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: they would walk. Judge. I saw that, you know, Soto 179 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: ran for second. He probably should have stayed there, right, 180 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: he probably should have stayed at first. And then you 181 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: forced them to either pitch to judge or walk. The 182 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: bases loaded for Austin Wells, and then who knows what happens, 183 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: but yeah, it was interesting watching Garrett Cole respond on 184 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: the bench to that base running blunder by Glaboratorres sunk 185 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: his head in shame and did not look happy about it. 186 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: Got another super chat here from the six ten. Stig says, 187 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: Stanton has been cold. I think they kind of need 188 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: to play him here this week to try and get 189 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: him going into the playoffs. But the five days off 190 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: are also tough. Yes, I agree with you that the 191 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: layoff concerns me. Here's the thing about baseball, though, When 192 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: you take a guy who's been struggling and his timing 193 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: is off, and then you just rubt his timing even further, 194 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: sometimes that's like a weird thing, and it makes his 195 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: timing even better. It's like when Aaron Boone hit that 196 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: home run off of Tim Wakefield in the ALCS. He 197 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: had been in a miserable slump. He was not starting 198 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: that game, and then you know what a knuckleball does 199 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: is it throws your timing off. It's slow, it flutters, 200 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: and you take a guy who's slumping and you throw 201 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: him against the pitch that's designed to kind of induce 202 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: a slump, and he leads to a home run, so 203 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, says Volpi needs to step up. Volpi had 204 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: a tough night. He went zero for two with a strikeout, 205 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: now hitting two forty eight, but he had been I 206 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: think five for twelve since he got that day off, 207 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: and also since I put out that that video a jsus. 208 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: Stanton does not need to play. I think he needs 209 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: it bats, I think he's gonna play. I think he's 210 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: gonna play. You want him hot in the playoffs, if 211 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: you can make that happen, you want to get him going. 212 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: But it's just weird how this team is set up 213 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: right now. Let's take a look at the box score 214 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: real quick, because we've got some guys that are stinging 215 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: the ball that are always incredibly difficult, like tour Is 216 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: hitting the ball well right now. Soto's always a tough out, 217 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: and Judge obviously one of the most dangerous hitters in 218 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 1: the game, probably the most dangerous. But Wells is in 219 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: a funk. Stanton is ice cold, Chisholm's ice cold. Rizzo. 220 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he'll get the occasional hit like he had 221 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: tonight where it's kind of a soft hit, but he's 222 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: not scaring me offensively. Volpie you don't know what you're 223 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: gonna get. And Verdugo obviously, you know, not great. So really, 224 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: right now they got like three hitters that you can 225 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: count on. Quick drink of water here, Hey, tomorrow, tune in. 226 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Buster Only on the show. He's one 227 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: of my favorite Yankees writers. He wrote the book The 228 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: Last Night of the Yankees Dynasty, which is my favorite 229 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: Yankees book by a mile. I read it probably every year. 230 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna be on the show tomorrow. We're recording in 231 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: the morning. It's not gonna be live, uh, and then 232 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I'll release it at some point midday. But check that out. 233 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be uh, it's gonna be fun. We're gonna 234 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: talk about Soto, We're gonna talk about his free agency, 235 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff. The Yankees chances in the playoffs. I 236 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: really think they could go, you know, do some major 237 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: damage in the playoffs. But the Oils are getting healthy, 238 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: and you know that can be tough. Shane Johnson says 239 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: Verdugo is awful. Hope he doesn't see one post season 240 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: at bad. I can't say that I disagree. All right, guys, 241 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: here's a quick word from our sponsor or, Gain and 242 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: then I'll be back in about sixty seconds and we'll 243 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: run through the game real quick. I just found a 244 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: protein shake that actually tastes amazing, and it's been a 245 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: game changer for me. It's called Orgain, and they're the 246 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: leader in real protein powdered nutrition. What I love about 247 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: them is they understand that being good for you doesn't 248 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: have to mean it tastes bad for me. It's all 249 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: about the organic ingredients. But I don't want to battle 250 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: my taste buds every day with something grainy. You know 251 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: what I mean. With Orgain, I don't have to. It's 252 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: giving smooth milkshake vibes. Plus, they've got this brand new 253 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: thirty gram complete protein shake that's packed with real nutrition 254 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: and designed to satisfy cravings without all the sugar. I've noticed. 255 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: It gives me energy, provides muscle support, and helps manage hunger. Also, 256 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: it's made without soy ingredients and has no artificial flavors 257 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: or sweeteners, which which is a big plus for me. 258 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: You can find Orgain thirty grand protein shakes at Costco 259 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: or at orgain dot com. Head over to orgain dot com, 260 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: slash foul and use the code foul for twenty percent 261 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: off your order. Again, that's O R G A I 262 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: N dot com slash foul for twenty percent off. All right, 263 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: let's go, let's get it going. We've got another super 264 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: chat here from Shane Johnson, who points out Glabor Torres's 265 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: batting average and OPS since moving to the leadoff hole, 266 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: which is he said he three to ten with an 267 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: eight to ninety OPS. And obviously those are very solid numbers, 268 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: but he still has enormous, enormous problems running the bases. 269 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: So very strong first inning for Clark Schmidt, a couple 270 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: of strikeouts. Second inning, not so good. Orioles got on 271 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: the board, a couple of hits. They got another run 272 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: in the fourth inning, bottom four. Aaron Judge will not 273 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: finish the season with fifty five home runs. That's another 274 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: home run for John Rode, the Joe Logestic solo home 275 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: run number fifty six on the season. And just think 276 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, Orioles fans were chirping about 277 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: how Gunner Henderson was gonna be the MVP over Aaron Judge. 278 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: But that's none of my business. On a sad note, 279 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: that home run was caught by notorious ballhog Zach Hampbell, 280 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: one of the biggest jerks in all the sports. Yankees 281 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: put two runners on in the bottom of the fifth 282 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: inning and set verdu Go up with a perfect bunt situation, 283 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: but they let him swing away and he banged into 284 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: a tailor made double play. That's baseball. Susan got a 285 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: bunt there, especially with a guy who hits that many 286 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: ground balls. Top six, Anthony Santander smoked a line drive 287 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: home run off of Clark Schmid's hundredth pitch of the game. 288 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: That was his final pitch. He went five and a third, 289 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: four hits, three runs, one walk, seven strikeouts. Whip is 290 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: at one point one point six. They are at two 291 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 1: point twenty five. He takes the l unfortunately. Tonight, Top 292 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 1: seven Oriels tacked on another home run by Urias, and 293 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: then bottom seven Yanks puts some momentum together double by Rizzo, infield, 294 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: single by Verdugo. Then Glaber Torres smoked on the right 295 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 1: field for a ground roll double that cut the lead 296 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: to four to two. Third hit of the night for 297 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: uh Glaber Torres. He now hitting two fifty seven with 298 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: a seven eight ops. But then Soto smoked one to 299 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: right field, one run scored, and Glaber Torres and Juan 300 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Soto were both left on the bases at the same time, 301 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: and nothing good can happen when that happens, because that's 302 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: two of the worst base runners in baseball. And Glaber 303 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: Torres got hung up halfway between home and third base 304 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: and the Ools ran him down. He ended up diving 305 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: back into the base about three feet short. It was 306 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: like that scene in Major League where Willie Mays Hayes 307 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: tries to steal second base and the guy's like, come on, 308 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: and then will he flips him off. Absolutely the worst 309 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: base runner I've ever seen, the worst, worst Stanton is 310 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: the slowest, Taurus is the worst. Oriols of course got 311 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: one right back on a home run by another Rookie 312 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: of the Year candidate, Colton Cawser, and he's got twenty 313 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: three home runs now bottom nine Yankees brought the tying 314 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: run to the plate. Jason Domingez pinch hit for Anthony Vopi, 315 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: and he bounced out tough spot to put the kid 316 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: in facing one hundred mile an hour cutters off the bench, 317 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: and then Verdugo popped out to end the game, and 318 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: the Al East party will have to wait at least 319 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: another day. We'll get good day third if you ain't 320 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: burst your laugh. James says, ads before YouTube, during YouTube, 321 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: after YouTube, all these ads, well, I mean, that's that's 322 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: how this economy runs. I mean, I gotta get paid, right, 323 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: it's a free service. 324 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: You know. 325 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: All this equipment costs money. I got to pay people 326 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: to run stuff. YouTube has to take their cut. That's 327 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: how it works. That's you know, you could just pay 328 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: for cable and then you still get ads. This is free. 329 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: So anyway, Brian says that I think the best thing 330 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: to do is dh Glabor, play Cabrera at second and 331 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: just use Domingas for left field. I'd rather have Grisham 332 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: on the postseason roster instead of Dugo. What are your thoughts. 333 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they'll do it because they want Stanton's 334 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: bat in the playoffs because if he starts hitting home runs, 335 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: he's a game changer. I mean, he can change a 336 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: game with one swing. The problem is most of his 337 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: swings are coming up empty these days. But thank you 338 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: for the super chat. Anyway. You we got some f 339 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: Zap Campbell comments here in the in the in the chat, 340 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: and they are still ahead of Cleveland by a few 341 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: games in terms of the best record in the American League, 342 00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: they still got a lead of two in the win column. 343 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: So Yankees are now ninety two and sixty five and 344 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: the Guardians ninety one and sixty seven. So Yankee is 345 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: still the favorite for home field advantage in the American 346 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 1: League when the playoff begins. But tough night if you're 347 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: a Yankees fan. Let's wrap it up. Let's wrap it up, folks, 348 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: And Raybard says, what are the chances this team gets swept? 349 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I mean, it depends on 350 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: how the pitching goes for the Orioles and how the 351 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: Yankees hit with the runners in scoring position, a lot 352 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: of factors. What lineups are they going to run out there? 353 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 1: You know, Age's's labor ran on his own. That's not 354 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: a surprise at all anyway. But hey, get your questions 355 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: in call on the voicemail for Buster only, and I'll 356 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: pick a few of my favorite questions that you guys 357 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: ask and you can feel free to leave it in 358 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: the comments too, and we'll see what he thinks.

Just get his opinions on these subjects.
