1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Just wanted to pook.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: It's all, how's it going? Everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: So I was supposed to be joined by Robbie Hyde

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 2: of Monster Territory. Unfortunately his internet waited until literally five

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 2: minutes before the show to conk out. I mean that's

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: Boston for you, really. I mean it's just the infrastructure,

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: the people, the you know, probably just the entire city,

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: the aura. And hopefully it's a sign of things to come,

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: because the Yankees will kick off their wild card series

10
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: against the Red Sox at six pm Eastern. So I

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: had a whole bunch of questions for Robbie and so

12
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't have a backup plan in terms of opening statements,

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: so I thought maybe I could just talk to the audience.

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: We do have a few voicemails set up. But lur

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: C said he's scared. You know what. One of my

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: questions was going to be, you know what frightens you

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: about the Yankees. You know, I know that Yankees fans,

18
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: myself included, want no part of Garrett Crochet. Garrett Crochet

19
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 2: is an absolute monster, and Brian BeO is pretty good too,

20
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 2: But there have got to be some things that Red

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: Sox fans are considering that are intimidating about the Yankees.

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: I mean, we scored the most runs in baseball, right,

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: I mean, and we did put up five runs against

24
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: Garrett Crochet once, and you know, we do have the

25
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: possible MVP. And not to mention, we've got Nuclear Stanton

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: healthy and beginning to lock it in as we kick

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: off this postseason. And the thing about Stanton is he

28
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: seems to be impervious to pressure. He seems to be

29
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: one of these guys who loves the big moment, you know,

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: who lives for it. And you know, over the years

31
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: we have seen some guys like that that just go

32
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: crazy in the playoffs. For me, and he did it

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 2: with a little less bravado, but maybe the same kind

34
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 2: of cool demeanor. Bernie Williams. Bernie Williams was a guy

35
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: who walked off the Red Sox in a game in

36
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: the ALCS in ninety nine, and we talked about him

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: in the Last Show. To me, he is the Yankees'

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: most clutch performer in postseason in my lifetime. Mariano Rivera,

39
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: I know he had some tough moments in the postseason,

40
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: but he was another guy that, like you know you

41
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: wanted him on your team in the playoffs. He had

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: one of the lowest postseason eras in history. I think

43
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: it might still be the lowest. So Lucas Detra says,

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: if the Yankees get past Boston, it's another run to

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: the World Series. Let's not count our chickens before they

46
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: hatch because we would still need to get by Toronto,

47
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 2: who let's be honest, our lunch this year eight hour lunch,

48
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: and then we would have to go through the Alcs,

49
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: which I mean it could be the Mariners, it could

50
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: be the Guardians, you know, but it is not going

51
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: to be easy. So let's just chat a little bit.

52
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: Franklin Lopez says, Hey, Derek, longtime no chat, but I'm back.

53
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: If we win today, we will be going to the Alds.

54
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 2: I agree. And one thing that's interesting is a lot

55
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: of these two these best of three wild Cards series

56
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: in recent years have been too and out. You know,

57
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: you'll see two games sweeps, and I have a feeling

58
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: we might see something like that this year if the

59
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: Yankees take Game one, because they're going to be riding momentum.

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: But if the Red Sox win Game one, the Yankees

61
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: are going to immediately have their backs up against the

62
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: wall at home and Michael v says Andy Pettitt, he's

63
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: another guy that was a phenomenal postseason performer. Balls for days.

64
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: Lauri cesays, Devin Williams handed them our lunch. Devin Williams

65
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: was was awful this year. And another question that I

66
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: was gonna have for Robbie is like, what scares you

67
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: about your own team? You know, I mistakenly said that

68
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: the Red Sox were a better defensive team than the

69
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: Yankees because I've just been watching the Yankees all year.

70
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: But they actually made more errors than the Yankees did.

71
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: So that's gotta be gnawing on the mind of Red

72
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: Sox fans. Will they be able to make the big

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: play in the big spot. But for me, the thing

74
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: that frightens me the most, there's a there's a few

75
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: things that that are gnawing on my mind other than you.

76
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: We have to face a hell of a team and

77
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: and a hell of a pitching staff, number one, the bullpen.

78
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: You know, Devin Williams, can we count on him in

79
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: a big spot? You know, he has been pitching better

80
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: down the stretch, no question about it, But can we

81
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: count on him in a big spot with the game

82
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: on the line, We're gonna have to do it. We're

83
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: gonna have to do it to get to the World Series.

84
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: At some point, there's gonna be a situation where it's

85
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: second and third, one out, Devin Williams in the game

86
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 2: and he's got to get two outs, and it's like

87
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: the number three and four hitter, and you know, he's

88
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to throw that airbender every pitch.

89
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to use his fastball. He's gonna have

90
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: to throw strikes. So you know, we'll see Doug Rouse,

91
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 2: says Hall of Fame first time candidates released last night,

92
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: Edwind and Carnacion, who remembers the the you know parrot

93
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: pose that he would give after a home run briefly

94
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: a Yankee. Cole Hammil's, a World Series opponent of the Yankees.

95
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Also on that list, Lauris c says she is calm, excited,

96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: and confident. I'm definitely excited. I would not say that

97
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 2: I am calm or super confident. Here's a question.

98
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 3: Besides, like Judge and Stanton, who is like you like

99
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: underrated player that he thinks a pop off season like

100
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: this playoff?

101
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 2: All right? So if we're just talking about this series

102
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: against the Red Sox, you have to think, like who

103
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: lives for the moment because the pressure is gonna be

104
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 2: at its highest, you know, I think Max Freed and

105
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodin, either one of those guys could throw a

106
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: gem and that would certainly go a long way. I

107
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: mean in a short series, a lot of times it

108
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: just comes down to pitching, right, and Rodin has just

109
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: he's turned the corner as a.

110
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: Pitcher, you know.

111
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's much more of a pitcher than

112
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 2: a thrower, right. He used to be a thrower, and

113
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 2: now he's starting to work in more and more pitches.

114
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: Cam Schlitler could be a guy that comes up big.

115
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: To me, He's got ice in his veins. He does

116
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: not seem, despite being a rookie, like he's gonna be overmatched.

117
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: And a lot of times these really big dudes, right,

118
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: like like Schlitler, you know, there these pitchers that are

119
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: just enormous, enormous bodies can be difficult on the hitter

120
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: because it feels like the ball is right on top

121
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: of you and when you throw as hard as he does,

122
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: throws ninety nine one hundred miles an hour. He's also

123
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: gonna have that extra adrenaline. You might see him touch

124
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: one oh one. So the Red Sox lost Lucas Giolito.

125
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: He is not gonna be available for Game three. So

126
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: should this go three games? I think the Yankees might

127
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: have the advantage in the pitching department. So for me,

128
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: the guys that could step up are pitchers. Now, if

129
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: you're just talking offense, I want to say, Paul Goldschmidt.

130
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: You know we're facing a lefty today. He's a guy

131
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: who's hit lefties well all year. I could see him

132
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: running into one for sure. Christal says that Judge is

133
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: turning it up this postseason, and I hope so. I

134
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: mean it will go a long way for his legacy

135
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: if he does, and if he has another tough postseason

136
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: and the Yankees have an early exit, well guess what.

137
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna be talking about the Mets epic collapse anymore.

138
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: They're gonna be talking about Aaron Judge and he'll be

139
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: the story of the entire offseason. So I mean, those

140
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: those are the guys I mean I want Judge to

141
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: step it up. I know you asked other than Judge

142
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, getting a big moment Cabal Arrow.

143
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: You know, he might have his reverse Dave Roberts moment

144
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: where you know, he steals a big bag for us.

145
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if Domingez is going to be in

146
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: the game at all or in the series, but I

147
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: could see him having an impact on the bases. I

148
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: think it might come down to little things like base running,

149
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: a big play in the field. But if you're talking,

150
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: you know, just hitting, you know, I think it's going

151
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: to be on the big boys. I think he's gonna

152
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: be on the big boys.

153
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: Here's Chain, Hey, Derek Chain. Well, we've got more going

154
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: for us than we have going against since that's for

155
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: sure for a successful playoff run and a World Series

156
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: win run. Hopefully it appears. Since they didn't celebrate or

157
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: I don't think I think they did celebrate winning the

158
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: wild card. Anyway they did, it don't mean a thing

159
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: if you ain't got that ring. And one thing we

160
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: have going for us is Grisham and Bellinger need to

161
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: get hot. If Judge and Stanton can stay hot, we've

162
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,719
Speaker 1: got that going for us. The only things we have

163
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: going against this is the goofiness that the coaching can

164
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: cause and the bullet in is overused and we have

165
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: that going against us.

166
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bullpen is a thing that scares me the

167
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: most atim says Jazz, thirty thirty guy, and he could

168
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: be somebody that steps up in a big way. He

169
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: seems like one of these guys who wants so badly

170
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: to come up big in a big moment and have

171
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: that big moment. And last year he talked a lot

172
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: of smack. Last year he was all over the newspapers

173
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: his soundbites. You couldn't go anywhere without reading about He's

174
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: gonna do this, We're gonna do that. Where the best,

175
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: this team's got nothing. And then he did jack in

176
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: the playoffs, although he did I think hit a home

177
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: run in the World Series. You know, Jazz is one

178
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: of these guys that I think relies a lot on confidence,

179
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: and it's either way. So if he gets off to

180
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: a slow start, that could affect his confidence and he

181
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: could have a slow series. But if he gets off

182
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: to a good start, like if he gets a big hit,

183
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: I think it could go the other way and he could,

184
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: you know, catch fire. So that's somebody to watch out for.

185
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: Here's Russ Paye.

186
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: Eric Russell from Brooklyn.

187
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: Great finish to the season by the Yankees. Course, I

188
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 3: wish they were in the World Series this year already

189
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: and not having to go through all this. But my point,

190
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: and I think I've made this before, is big to

191
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: pay about whether the mvpiece to Colt Rally or or

192
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: a Judge.

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't care.

194
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,239
Speaker 4: So the MVP that I wanted.

195
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: Is Judge in the World Series MVP.

196
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 5: That's one that counts.

197
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: But to get there first, let's.

198
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: Get the World Series for Judge.

199
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: I So, look, I appreciate the call. We're seeing a

200
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: lot of this' I've heard a lot of people say, oh,

201
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: whether or not Judge wins the MVP doesn't matter, you know.

202
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: And that's something that we've we talked about last year,

203
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 2: and we talked about it during the offseason, like it's

204
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: not gonna matter if he wins an MVP, if he

205
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: hits seventy home runs, Like, no one's going to give

206
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: a shit unless you do a good job in the postseason,

207
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: unless you step up in October when it matters, and

208
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: in this case, in September when it matters. I want

209
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: Judge to have his two thousand and nine A Rod

210
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 2: moment as bad as anybody. And you know, getting to

211
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: the World Series is not an easy task, and so

212
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna need to lean on our best player. We

213
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 2: do not have Juan Soto, we do not have Garrett Cole.

214
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 2: This is a completely new team. Judge remains a constant.

215
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 2: But last year, you know, the biggest hit he got

216
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: was in the game the Yankees lost. That was the

217
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: home run against Class A in I want to say

218
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: it was Game three of the ALCS. He did have

219
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: a good game five offensively, but then he dropped that

220
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: ball in center field. What I want is a tight, tight,

221
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: tight performance from Aaron Judge both sides of the ball.

222
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: Bass hits home runs and it'll be interesting to see

223
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 2: if they even pitch to him. One thing that helps

224
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: get Aaron Judge pitches to hit is if other people

225
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 2: are hitting, we need Bellinger to step it up. Bellinger

226
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: kind of finished out the year kind of slow. I

227
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: think he was trying to get that thirtieth home run.

228
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: You know, John Carlos Stanton always deadly in the postseason,

229
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: and you know at any moment he might he might

230
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: go zero for three today or one for four or whatever.

231
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: But at some point is if the Yankees keep playing

232
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: at some point he's gonna lock it in because that's

233
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: who he is. And when he gets hot, he stays hot,

234
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: and it doesn't matter who's pitch because he's that good.

235
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Because his bat speed can catch up to anybody. He's

236
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: got kind of a unique swing style, and he just

237
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 2: has so much power that he can change a game

238
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: in an instant. Now, he's not gonna steal any bases

239
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: for you, He's not gonna play great defense. He's in

240
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 2: there to do one thing, drive in runs. And you know,

241
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: without those two guys, Yankees aren't gonna do anything. So

242
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: we need both Judge and Stanton to step up in

243
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: a big way. Raymond says, Volpi scares me his arm.

244
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit frightened to Volpi too. I'm not

245
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: gonna lie to you. I think Vulpi I think he

246
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: gets in his head a little bit. He's one of

247
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: these guys that's kind of like jazz, where it's about confidence.

248
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Right.

249
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: If he gets a couple of big hits and makes

250
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 2: a couple of big plays, you could see him having

251
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: a good postseason. If things go poorly, you could see

252
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: him ending up maybe even on the bench with calbal

253
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Arrow getting more playing time. So, by the way luis here,

254
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 2: we're seeing a lot of comments about him, why is

255
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 2: he not on the wild card roster? Well, he just

256
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: pitched Sunday, so he wouldn't be able to pitch in this.

257
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: He'll be on the Division Series roster should the Yankees

258
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 2: get there. In fact, I would expect him to start

259
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: Game one against Toronto, which you know, heal is one

260
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: of these guys that has overpowering stuff right when he's

261
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: throwing strikes. There's not a team in this league that

262
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: scares me against him because he could dominate anybody. So

263
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: that's not a bad number four starter to have, right,

264
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: And then you would roll into Max Freed for Game two.

265
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: But let's get there first, Okay. Robert Ryan says, no

266
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: throws to third for e Volpi. Yeah, I hate it

267
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: when he does that. Retro says, other than strikeouts, Freed

268
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: and Crochet's numbers are similar. And you know what, I

269
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: believe this is Garrett Crochet's first postseason start, whereas Max

270
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: Freed is pitching the World Series, right, so this is

271
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: going to be an interesting test, all right. Quick word

272
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,240

Speaker 2: even live there. Here we go know the.

299
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 8: Call, Hey, Derek, love the show and excited for the

300
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 8: playoff games starting tomorrow with the hated Boston Red Fox.

301
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 8: So here's my I'm excited. I think we can go

302
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 8: all the way this year, like also just getting knocked

303
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 8: out in the first round. And here's my worry. I

304
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 8: think Boone comes up small the bigger the games get.

305
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 8: So if his managing comes into play, that's what makes

306
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 8: me nervous. If the players gotten lit it on their own.

307
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 8: Great Boone has a pension for making bad decisions pitching

308
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 8: wise and otherwise. And I've already heard him say, Hey,

309
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 8: our best bet to win in the playoffs is hit

310
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 8: a bunch of balls over the wall. Okay, we know that,

311
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 8: we know you know Yankees play do best when they

312
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 8: hit home runs. But you can't just count on that

313
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 8: against number one pitchers like Krochhett Kochet and the others.

314
00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 8: You got us the plan on manufacturing some run and

315
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 8: they're getting some. You're doing some situational hitting. And if

316
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 8: the manager puts in the ball players heads hit home runs,

317
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 8: which he did, I think, and that's why it comes

318
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 8: from the very top. Then all of a sudden, when

319
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 8: the home runs don't go out, we are flat as

320
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 8: a pancake and we lose. And so I just am

321
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 8: concerned about Cora managing circles around Boone and whether Boone

322
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 8: has learned anything after all these years of being in

323
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 8: the playoffs and coming up short. So we'll see number one.

324
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 8: We need Max Freed to bring his a game in

325
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 8: Game one because it's so important. So can't wait to

326
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 8: see how this all unfolds. And I'll be watching the show. Thanks.

327
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is going to be a fun,

328
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: fun series if the Yankees win, and if not, it's

329
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 2: going to be an absolutely brutal, brutal feeling. Here's Caleb

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: in California.

331
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 9: Hey, Derek, this is Kles and Calisfornia calling. I was

332
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 9: watching your voicemail show every day and you were talking

333
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 9: about how you believe the Red Fox an advantage in

334
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 9: Chris sha versus Freed. I just want to say that

335
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 9: Crash is a great pitcher Mike win Cy Young, but

336
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 9: I think that you're not given Free enough credit. Free

337
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 9: has been phenomenal against the Red Talks this year, and

338
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 9: he's a quality postseason pitcher.

339
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: He's a veran.

340
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 9: The dude's won a World Series. So I just want

341
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 9: to know your thoughts on that and go Yanks. I

342
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 9: hope I don't jinks Free.

343
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: I don't believe in Jinx's. Freed has a chance to

344
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: establish himself as a Yankee legend in his first year.

345
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: He had an amazing first season, and if he has

346
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: a great postseason helps get the Yankees to the World

347
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: Series pitch as well, he is going to be beloved

348
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: in New York City for a long time.

349
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: Hey Derek, this is ed from the Bronx now in Florida.

350
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: Now the season's over. I just wanted to compliment you

351
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: on doing a great job with your podcast. Listening to

Speaker 5: I've been a Yankee fan since nineteen sixty and I'm

356
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 5: gonna be honest, I think the Yankees have a better

357
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: team than the Red Sox. I think they should be

358
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 5: able to beat them, and I thank God for not

359
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 5: making me in that stand.

360
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 2: Agree that I appreciate the kind words. And yeah, tough,

361
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: tough season for the Mets. That's too bad. That's too bad. Look, guys,
