1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Him to pull kept old.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: How's it going everybody? Huge, huge series kicking off for

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 2: the Yankees tonight in Boston, and they are going to

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: be faced with a challenge from within. Can you overcome

5
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: just the embarrassment basically that the Red Sox have handed

6
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: out to the Yankees this year? The Red Sox have

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: beaten the Yankees eight out of ten so far this season,

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 2: and the Yankees are on a mission to exact some

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: measure of revenge this weekend. Harak Clitis once said whoa.

10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: He didn't say whoa.

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: That was me.

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: I said whoa? When I actually I hit my mouth.

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: Heraclitis said, out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. But one

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: is a warrior and he will bring the others back.

16
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: And so the Yankees are going to search for their

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: warrior this weekend. I'm hoping it can be Aaron Judge.

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna kind of be the through line of this podcast, because,

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: let's face it, this team doesn't win anything without Aaron Judge.

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: Especially with the bullpen in the kind of shape that

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: it's in right now, this team has got to rely

22
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: on Aaron Judge. So He's going to be the primary

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: focus of this podcast, but the series that we're about

24
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: to embark on, it's going to reveal who the Yankees

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 2: really are. It will separate the winners from the losers.

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna find out who's made up of clutch stuff

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: and who's not. Because this is going to be a hostile, mean,

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: just angry, loud, intense environment for the next few days.

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 2: There will be playoff vibes in the air, and this

30
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: could be a playoff preview and a test to see

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 2: how this Yankees team responds in a hostile environment against

32
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: a good team, an up and coming team that can

33
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: play baseball. Now. The Red Sox obviously hampered a little

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: bit by injuries, but you know, then again, so were

35
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: the Yankees. We don't have Garrett Cole right, so I

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: don't want to hear that excuse. Red Sox are barely

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: behind us in the standings, but they hold more leverage

38
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: in the moment. Home field, Fenway Park, Garrett Crochet on

39
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 2: the mount in Game three and so far the season

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 2: has been one sided against us, and that gives them

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: the tiebreaker if things end up even right, that gives

42
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: them a confidence advantage. It's got to if you go

43
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: into somebody's building and kick their ass and then they

44
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: come to your building their ass even worse. You're feeling like,

45
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: you know, the final series at Home, Red Sox got

46
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: to be feeling like they're gonna win this series. They

47
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: got to be feeling like they could sweep. And I'm

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: sure that's their objective, and I'm sure Alex core is

49
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: gonna have them ready. But the Yankees do have some

50
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: pop to talk about. John Carlos Stanton went deep yesterday,

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: and we all know that he hits home runs in bunches,

52
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: and the time for him to be heating right back

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: up is when he goes and plays in a ballpark

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: where he's comfortable and has done a lot of damage before.

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel the echoes of the playoff or

56
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: so the September home run, the Grand Slam that he

57
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: hit a couple of years ago in Boston. He's got

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: a nine to seventeen career ops in forty games in Boston.

59
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: His best batting average of any ballpark that he's played

60
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: in at least fifteen games is three sixteen, and it's

61
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: Fenway Park. That kind of comfort there means something. I

62
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: think He's also immune to hostility to wild crowds. I

63
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: think he gets a kick out of shutting him up.

64
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: And I still contend that that grand slam he hit

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago probably the replay that I've

66
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: watched the most in the last decade, more than the

67
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Soto home run in the ALCS last year, more than

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: the Martians home run to walk it off earlier this year.

69
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: That was a perfect specimen of why I enjoy baseball.

70
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: Tense moment, bases loaded, home run, hitter at the plate,

71
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 2: and he got every bit of that baseball, and the

72
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: way the Green Monster and the camera shot framed the

73
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: home run, just disappearing into the Boston darkness. It was

74
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: like looking at the Mona Lisa or the Sistine Chapel

75
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: or whatever, and then there's Aaron Judge. Yesterday, he tied

76
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: to mad Gill fourth place in the Yankees career home

77
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: run list, three hundred and sixty one to two homers

78
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: off the Tigers. His swing seems to be returning a

79
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: little bit. His presence at the plate. He had three

80
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: hits in the game. He seemed confident, he seemed to

81
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 2: feel good after that first one, and the sound was

82
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: better off his bat. If Boston challenges Judge a couple

83
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: of times and he comes through, that's going to open

84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: lanes for some of the other guys because they're going

85
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: to have to stop pitching to him or start being

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: careful with him. I expect him to get a steady

87
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: diet of breaking pitches from Giolito and Beao over the

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: next couple of days. Same thing with John Carlos Stanton.

89
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: Might as well practice against it on the traject machine.

90
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: It's coming. But a little advice to those two pitchers.

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: Don't hang them. Do not hang them, not this weekend,

92
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: because both of those guys are coming around. But let's

93
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: talk a little bit about the practical constraints of this

94
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: series on the Yankees. The bullpen is not something that

95
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: you can rely on. It is not reliable. Right now,

96
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the key to this series is

97
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: the bullpen being able to perform, but that's just not

98
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: a credible thing for me to say. This bullpen is

99
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: not only tired, they're bad. They don't throw enough strikes.

100
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: You got a lot of guys who don't have the

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 2: confidence to throw the ball over the plate. So the

102
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: onus on this series is gonna fall directly on the

103
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: pitching side. On the starting pitching Luise Heal tonight must

104
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: rediscover his command. He must pound the zone. His stuff

105
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: is back. His confidence in it and his ability to

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: throw strikes with it are what now need to follow.

107
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: He has been pitching at a lower velocity than usual,

108
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: and it's been intentional. He's trying to dial it in,

109
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: but it hasn't been effective. He's got to find the

110
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: strike zone more often. His stuff is good enough that

111
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: he can pitch out of these walks, but you can't

112
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: walk as many guys and throw as many pitches. He's

113
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 2: got to get deeper into the game. We need six

114
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: and two thirds or seven innings from him tonight, minimum minimum.

115
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: I'm anxious to see what he comes up with and

116
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 2: how he responds. It's gonna be a tough situation. Game two,

117
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: Max Freed needs to go to that breaking ball. Trust

118
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: it early. He has pitched better recently and it seems

119
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: like the blister is a distant memory. His vibes have

120
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 2: been better. Go out there and win a big game

121
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: for your new team. Game three is Will Warren versus

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet Sunday Night. I expect Boston to win that one.

123
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: I mean, anything can happen. But Crochet is, you know,

124
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: leading the league in strikeouts. I believe and gave the

125
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: Yankees trouble in Boston a couple of weeks ago or

126
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: a couple months ago now, and I don't expect it

127
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: to go any different. Stanton and Judge need to assert

128
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: themselves in this series. If Stanton can punish breaking balls,

129
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: especially from righty's and Judge is hitting like himself when

130
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what army you throw with he can

131
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: hit you, then I like our chances. But more than anything,

132
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: this series has got to be about the mindset, about focus,

133
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: focus for nine innings each night. Don't make mistakes on

134
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: the basis, don't boot the ball in big situations. Now

135
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: it sounds like Volpi's gonna be out for the whole series,

136
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: so there goes that. But don't get ejected. If your

137
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: cap we need you in there. The stoic Greeks spoke

138
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: about the faculty of choice and responding rightly in the moment.

139
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: If you're the Yankees, you've got to get your focus

140
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: on what you can control. Don't worry about Fenway, don't

141
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: worry about the shadows that are going to be out

142
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: there tomorrow afternoon. Control your focus, your intensity, your reliance

143
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: on repetition, go out there and win a baseball game.

144
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: Boston's gonna be loud. They know the tiebreaker is theirs.

145
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: They smell it. They think they will win Game three,

146
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: and they're probably right. So they're going to be all

147
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: out to win one of the first two games, probably

148
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: game one. So the Yankees got to make tonight a

149
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: heavyweight fight. Failure to win this series will leave so

150
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: many doubts for this team down the stretch over the

151
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: next couple of weeks. While they play bad team, can

152
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 2: they beat a good team in the postseason? They beat

153
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: Toronto two out of three, they beat Houston two out

154
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: of three. They lost two out of three to Detroit,

155
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: who has not been playing as well, And now Boston

156
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: is the final leg of this gauntlet. You win two

157
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: out of three. Hey, that's a successful little twelve game

158
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 2: stretch against good teams. You know, you go seven to

159
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: five in the playoffs going to the World Series, So

160
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: give us a reason to be hopeful for the next

161
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Success now means that this team can

162
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: relax and just go out and beat these bums over

163
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: the next few weeks and maybe have a shot at

164
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: the division if Toronto really hits a wall. But either way,

165
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: I think the Yankees are going to the playoffs. Let's

166
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: hope that they can find it within themselves to show

167
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 2: up tonight.

168
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: Oh why.

169
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: Good?

170
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: So.

171
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: I was watching a podcast today about sports in general,

172
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 2: and one of the commentas was talking about how Aaron

173
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: Judge has never gotten a big hit in the postseason.

174
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Wrong.

175
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: You know, He's done it against the Twins, the Red Sox.

176
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: He had a big home run against the Guardians last

177
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 2: year in a game the Yankees lost. He had a

178
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: big home run in the World Series. But it is

179
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: true that for a generational type of talent, he has

180
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 2: not led us to a title. He has not single

181
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: handedly won a playoff series for the Yankees yet the

182
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: way John Carlos Stanton has, He's gotten some big hits.

183
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: He's gotten some big hits in the regular season. Two

184
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: had three walk off home runs back in twenty twenty two.

185
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: But he's had a lot of bad times also, especially

186
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: in big moments, especially in the playoffs. Judge has allowed

187
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: there to become a national narrative among the casual baseball fans.

188
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: I mean the person who was watching this clearly not

189
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: a Yankees fan, clearly doesn't watch the Yankees as much

190
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: as we do. But that's his national perception now that

191
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: he can't hit in the playoffs. I mean someone with

192
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: a Baseball Savant page that looks like his where he's

193
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: at the top of everything. Batting run value one hundred percent,

194
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 2: tile x wOBA XBA, expected slugging exit ve, low barrel percentage,

195
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: hard hit percentage, batspeed walk percentage. This guy is incredible

196
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: as an offensive player. But the shadow hanging over his

197
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: career and that will hang over his legacy, is that

198
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 2: he has not been all that clutch, and he has

199
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: not been the type of postseason player that's somebody like

200
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: Bernie Williams or Derek Jeter or Tino Martinez or Scott

201
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: Brocius or Paul O'Neill was. He's just flat out not

202
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: been the guy in big situations, not like John Carlos

203
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 2: stanton As. This is his chance. If he's been sandbagging,

204
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: trying to get ready for you know, the stretch run,

205
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: maybe taking it easy on himself to prepare for clutch season,

206
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: this is it. It begins tonight. The next two weeks

207
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: are going to be as clutch as it gets during

208
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: the regular season as the Yankees try and win a division,

209
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: and no, maybe the last few games won't matter as

210
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: much because maybe they'll lose the division, the you know,

211
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: the wild card will or you know, the magic number

212
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: will expire and the Yankees will wrap up the wild card.

213
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: But after that, it's all postseason. It's back to October baseball,

214
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: where he has yet to prove that he can carry

215
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: this team. And so I'm really looking for him to

216
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: show up in this series. He is. This is where

217
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: we say, oh, captain, my captain, we need you. This

218
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 2: series is what we're looking for. Let's make some picks.

219
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: See this is first of all, before I get to

220
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: my picks, I want to tackle this comment from John Berto.

221
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: He says he's a phenomenal regular season when it doesn't

222
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 2: matter player. He does hit when it matters, and the

223
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: regular season matters. You can't get to the playoffs if

224
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: the regular season doesn't matter. He's helped the Yankees win

225
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: a lot of games by putting them on the board

226
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: early and getting those you know, two three run home

227
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: runs in the first inning. Right, He's extended a lot

228
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: of leads. He's made a lot of great plays in

229
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 2: the outfield. What we're looking for are those clutch eighth

230
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 2: and ninth inning, big hits, big home runs, runners on base.

231
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Everybody's looking to him. He can change the game. Not

232
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: only does Aaron Judge hitting a big home run in

233
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: a big spot help the team that day, but it

234
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: creates momentum and energy and it carries forward. Go watch

235
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: the footage of Carlos Beltrant and I want to say

236
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: it was two thousand and four when he went crazy

237
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 2: with the Astros in the playoffs. You know, Go watch

238
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: John Carla last year. Go watch Shane Spencer in ninety eight.

239
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: I got a video on this channel about it called

240
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: September of Shane. Momentum matters, and energy matters, and confidence matters,

241
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: and getting a big hit in a big situation can

242
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: lead to other big hits in big situations. It's true. Anyway.

243
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: These are my picks and a reminder if you want

244
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: to play along, you can download the Draftking sportsbook app

245
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,800

Speaker 2: when you bet just five dollars only on Draftking. The

248
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: crown is yours. So my weekend home run picks, I'm

249
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: going Stanton tonight. I'm going Stanton with a home run

250
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: over the Monster, maybe centerfield. Maybe he won't go over

251
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: the Monster, maybe he'll go dead center. He doesn't hit

252
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: a lot of dead center home runs. But I'm kind

253
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: of feeling it, you know, I feel like one of

254
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: those psychics. The name begins with an M. The home run,

255
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying centerfield. That's my pick. That's my official pick.

256
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: Not that it matters. You can't bet by home run

257
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: to center field. Saturday, Ben Rice go inteet. I think

258
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: Ben Rice against Brian Bayo will run into a hangar

259
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: and he'll put it in the Boston bullpen. And then

260
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Baseball in front of a national audience against

261
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet. Garrett Crochet is gonna be amped up. He's

262
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: gonna be throwing one hundred. He's gonna challenge Aaron Judge.

263
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: And I think as Aaron Judge continues to round into

264
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 2: form as we saw him begin last night, I think

265
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: he's gonna run into one. Got a comment here from

266
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: Jordan that I think is correct. Judge has that has

267
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: has fair share of clutch moments, but it seems like

268
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: every time he does, the Yankees end up blowing the

269
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: game and it gets lost in the shuffle. One hundred percent, right,

270
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: like that home run against Cleveland last year in the playoffs.

271
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. All right, do the boiler plate and

272
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,479

286
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: most of the calls you get are are excellent. Brian's great.

287
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: All of them. I really enjoy your phone messages, but

288
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: sometimes he has some dumb ones. Loads of gentlemen who

289
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: said that Trent Grishiam socks at the center fielder. Are

290
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: you kidding me? And I'm glad you checked. You know,

291
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: savant and you can see Trent Grishiam is a leap

292
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: and by the way, it is true he's been playing her.

293
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: And you know what, I like his style. I like

294
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: that kind of sleepy way. It makes me like I

295
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: get nervous when I see a bull deep and I'm

296
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: like expressing out, oh no, oh no, is that gone?

297
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: And you see Trent, no, no, no, dude, I got

298
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: this under control.

299
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: And just like that.

300
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I love watching Trent Grisham in center field

301
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: and he is a ly But that's all I have

302

305
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: at least.

306
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: All right, David, I'm gonna. I'm gonna it's okay to

307
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,720

308
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 2: that's a lot of people complain that I cut them

309
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 2: off to her in the voicemail, But to tell you

310
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: the truth. A lot of people just they continue talking

311
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: long after they've made their point, and so I just,

312
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 2: you know, they don't know how to wrap it up.

313
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: Here's what you do, and just a couple of other

314
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: voicemail tips while we're doing it. You don't need to

315
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: say what inning it is or what the score is,

316
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: because by the time you call in it will likely

317
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: be different. But if you have a take like, hey, vope,

318
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: be just booted one, we got to fix that. You

319
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: like that? That works? And I'm not picking on taber

320
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 2: talk here, but you know, you can, you know, make

321
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: your you know comment. I'll hang up and listen. Boom done.

322
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 2: Here's here's Mary.

323
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: Beth Derek very bed here and I'm watching first take.

324
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: And I like Stephen A. Smith's takes just like.

325
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 3: I like your takes and Stephen A.

326
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: Smith and I bet also you and me very bad

327
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 4: feel the same way.

328
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: About Aaron Judge.

329
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 4: It's all fine and good.

330
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: What he's doing.

331
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 4: Two home runs last night, Yeah, yeay, yay. He has

332
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: to do it in important spots, he has to do

333
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: it in postseason. He has a two h six batting average,

334
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: and batting averages mean something to me. Same, So yeah,

335
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: I'm excited, but I'm not really I'm kind of over

336
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge. As much as I know he's magnificent, he

337
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: is lacking an important.

338
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: Part in his resume.

339
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: So here's helping. Here's helping that we go into Boston

340
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 4: and freaking diplay with some anger. Ooh oh man, Okay,

341
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: doll on hanging up go.

342
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: Yankees, appreciate it. MB love the fire as always, and yes,

343
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: I want to see them go in and play like

344
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: Elmo on my led screen. Right here, going bi zerik Here.

345
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 2: Game is on Apple TV tonight. Actions VJ said he's

346
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: not paying for that, and that's part of the reason

347
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: this channel exists because there's so many platforms. I know,

348
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: not everybody can catch every game, and so I, you know,

349
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 2: almost everybody can have access to YouTube because it's free.

350
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: If you have a smart TV or a phone, you

351
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 2: can access YouTube. And so that's why I created this

352
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 2: and that's why we do it after every game so

353
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: I can give you the takeaways. And my takeaways aren't always,

354
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: you know, perfect. That's why the audience is a big

355
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: part of the show. I want to make sure we

356
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 2: cover all aspects of things. X Wing says. He agrees

357
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: one hundred percent on Aaron Judge. You gotta believe in it,

358
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: you gotta believe you can do it. All right, here's

359
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: a call about cap I Arro.

360
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: Hey, what up, Derek? He goes from the Bronx Man.

361
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: He's saying the show, Hey, my man got like yeto

362
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: man can't do yesterday?

363
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: Put the ball in play manufacturing runs. You're seeing a

364
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: beast on the face pass man. Hopefully he's that funk

365
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: when he of course, I hope you know, we all

366
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: know the downfall of Bob hopeingy.

367
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 4: He gets better addressed, but.

368
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully appreciate it. And I didn't cut him off. He

369
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: actually I guess lost signamore just hung up. But I

370
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: like the way you say Cabby Hayler much better than

371
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: I do.

372
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: Day Derek, great podcast.

373
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 3: I think the Anthony Volpie injury is just to cover

374
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 3: up to protect his little advertising campaign that's coming out,

375
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 3: the spending money on him and et cetera. But come on,

376
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 3: you go back to when may. He's been hurt all

377
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: this time, so that makes up for you know, that's

378
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: an excuse for his lack of performance, like the worst

379
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: batting average and the worst fielding percentage of baseball anyway,

380
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: my take, Bye.

381
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're not wrong. He wasn't exactly tearing

382
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: the cover off the ball. At the time he got hurt.

383
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: He was hitting two thirty three. You know, he had

384
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of home runs earlier in the year, but

385
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 2: then he slumped after that. All right, so I want

386
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: to share the story. We've got two stores, actually I'm
