1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's it defeat it March first. There's baseball 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 1: that counts this month, but first we got to get 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 1: through spring training. We got the spring debut of Aaron Judge. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the fallout from the Luis Heel injury. 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: All that and more coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: Wanted to pull catch all. 7 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: Late at Sinatra. Baby played at Sinatra for the first 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: time this year. Oh oh, for the first time this year. 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: We have a Yankees victory on a postgame show. Let's 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: hear it game over Yankees winn yik. All right, so 11 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: we are less than four weeks away from doing this 12 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: pretty much every day for six plus months. Welcome back, everybody, 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: Welcome back. We obviously had some tough news yesterday with 14 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: Luis Heel going down with the injury. He had an 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: MRI today. We're gonna find out probably on Monday, what 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: the status is for him, and we are going to 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: do a postgame show on Monday, so hopefully we'll be 18 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: able to talk through it a little bit. It's been 19 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: one of those springs with injuries. John Carlos Stanton, we 20 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 1: just found out that he had PRP injections in both elbows. 21 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Talking more about that later. Chase Hampton obviously out for 22 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: the year. Heel f Ross, Brubaker, all dealing with injuries 23 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: at this point, but the season must go on and 24 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: the show must go on. Good news is that Garrett 25 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: Cole looked very sharp last night. Bellinger has looked good. 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: We got Judge healthy. He said he's going to try 27 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: and get more at bats this spring, and as of 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: right now, I'm feeling pretty good about this Yankees ball 29 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: club headed into the twenty twenty five season despite the injuries. Well, 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: let's talk about today's game. So Judge back in the lineup. 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: He struck out in his first at bat. It was 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: a pitch that looked high. I was surprised he didn't 33 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: challenge it. It was a cutter kind of up in a way. 34 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: Knocked in a couple of runs in his second at bat. 35 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: During the regular season, he absolutely would have gotten walked 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: in that scenario. That's why it's so important for him 37 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 1: to have a good hitter behind him. And right now 38 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking that Cody Bellinger could be that guy again. 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: I'll talk more about him in a little bit, but 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: it was good to see Judge back out there. In 41 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: right field, where I think he's more impactful on defense. 42 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: As long as the Yankees can prevent anyone from hitting 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: the ball to left field, I think the defense should 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: be a lot better this year. George Lombard, Junior top prospect, 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: number two prospect according to Baseball America, is a shortstop prospect. 46 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: But today he was playing third base, which I find 47 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: very interesting, and he smoked a monster home run off 48 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: the left field scoreboard. Absolute nude. You do not see 49 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: a lot of nineteen year olds with that kind of power. 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: He is gonna be in the major leagues. It's just 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: a question of when. And the more I see him, 52 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: the more I think he could be one of those 53 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: guys who moves quickly through the minor leagues. Now, look 54 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: at Anthony Vopi. He was another guy who's taken out 55 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: of high school and he really moved up the minor 56 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: league ladder quickly once he conquered Double A. He was 57 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 1: only in TRIPAA for about three weeks. And there's a 58 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: chance that we could see Lombard get to double A 59 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: this year, which means realistically, next year, twenty twenty six, 60 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: we could see him as a twenty year old turning 61 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: twenty one in the major leagues, and I love the 62 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: idea of sticking him at third base. Right now, you 63 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: don't want to spend big on a third baseman. There 64 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: probably got, you know, a little bit of money allocated 65 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: this winter for either Vladimir Guerrero at first base or 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker in the outfield, So you're gonna spend big 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: on one of those two areas. It would be nice 68 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: to have a rookie phenom come up and play third base. 69 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: And honestly, this kid looks the part. I mean, if 70 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about central casting for an athlete. He's got 71 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: the body type, he's got the lineage. As they said. 72 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: His father's the bench coach for the Detroit Tigers, and 73 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: he looks comfortable. You had a home run opposite field 74 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: last year in spring training when he was eighteen years old, 75 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: and we're all saying, Wow, you don't see a lot 76 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: of eighteen year olds that have opposite field power, and 77 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: four hundred and fourteen feet today off the scoreboard. What 78 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: a shot, What a shot. Peter Risbery's with Lombard and 79 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: the rocket emojis. Love it, I love it. Ben Rice 80 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: also went deep today a laser beam over the short 81 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: porch in right field, and look, he has put on 82 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: some muscle and he looks ready to rock. This year, 83 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: he was behind the plate, still competing for that backup 84 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: catcher job, but with standing out, I think he is 85 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: the favorite to be the starting DH to begin the season. 86 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: They pointed out a few times how much weight he's 87 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: gained this year, but he's looking strong in a good way. 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: One hundred and thirteen mile an hour exit velocity on 89 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: that home run, harder than any ball that he hit 90 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: last year. I guess they felt like a lot of 91 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: his fly balls were kind of dying on the warning track. 92 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: I kind of remember that being a problem, and they 93 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: felt like, you know, if you put on maybe ten 94 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: or fifteen pounds of muscle, you know some of those 95 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: balls go in the bleachers, and that's you know, what 96 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: we're seeing just looks really good right now. He also 97 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: challenged the pitch behind the plate and got the call, 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm not sure how I feel about 99 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: the ABS right now. I mean, I'm all in favor 100 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: of getting the call right, but I kind of just 101 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 1: prefer an automated ball strike system. If you're going to 102 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: use it, why not use it on every pitch and 103 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: just get the calls right on every pitch. So anyway, 104 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: we got some comments about John Carlos Stanton possibly being 105 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: out for the year. We don't know yet. He's gonna 106 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: start the season on the il, so we'll see how 107 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: that works out. We saw DJ lem Mayhew today. He 108 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: did not look good. I'm gonna have an open mind 109 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: about DJ Lemayhew because he's got some credit in the 110 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: bank for some of the earlier years that he had 111 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: with the Yankees, But I remained pessimistic that he can 112 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: really bounce back from those foot injuries. It looked last 113 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: year like he was a shell of the player that 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: he used to be. And a lot of times, your 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: power is the hitter, and I'm not talking home run power, 116 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm just talking driving the baseball kind of you know. 117 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: Power comes from the feet, comes from the legs up, 118 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: the ground up. And until he shows that his feet 119 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: are healthy and he's over those injury problems, I'm gonna 120 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: remain a little doubtful that he can, you know, bounce back. 121 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: Plus age is not on his side. He's you know, 122 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: we're all getting older, but he's he's in his mid 123 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: to late thirties now. So look, as much as I 124 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: like DJ, I think maybe his time as a starter 125 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: has passed, and it'll be interesting to see how that 126 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: works out. But you know, the way Lombard's swinging the bat, 127 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: I kind of want them to work on him in 128 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: the minor leagues at third base. Jesus Rodriguez another catching 129 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: prospect that I'm excited about. He ripped an RBI single 130 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: in the seventh inning. He's got a very interesting hitting style. 131 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: They talked about it. I'm sure we'll see it more 132 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: and I'll try and break it down at some point. 133 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: But you know, those guys who kind of hit in 134 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: an unconventional way and still have success. Those guys are 135 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: interesting to me. Like Eachiro, you know, he's nobody ever 136 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: would have taught anyone to hit like Etro and then 137 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: it worked out. He's one of the best hitters ever. 138 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Mickey Tennleton, right, remember the power he had, and he 139 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: had that weird batting stance, and people from the nineties 140 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: will remember. But a grand slam from Cole Gabriel Sin 141 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: to blow open the game in the seventh inning, and 142 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: you know what, on any other day, he'd probably have 143 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: the belt. But I don't have a picture of him, 144 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: So we're gonna give it to somebody else, but we 145 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: will give out a belt. Today's a stay tuned if 146 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: you other notes. I really like what we saw from TJ. 147 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Rumfield in terms of his swing. He's got a big 148 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: league swing, a really good cut, and I like that. 149 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's kind of level. It's not like one 150 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: of those try and launch the ball into the seats swings. 151 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: It looks like a you know, good level left handed swing, 152 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: a Tino type of swing, a Robin Ventura type of swing. Obviously, 153 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: he has not made the major leagues yet, but if 154 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: at some point he has to fill in, it'll be 155 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: interesting to see what he could do against major league pitchers. 156 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: So let's tune in for the pitcher spotlight Cam Schlittler 157 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: starting pitcher today. The last time we did one of 158 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: these postgame shows, it was Sean Boyle who got reassigned 159 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: to minor league camp this morning. We're gonna have Max 160 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: Freed on Monday night, so when we do the postgame show, 161 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: we'll have, you know, at least a member of the rotation. Schlittler, 162 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: who I'm sure has never had any issues with his 163 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: last name being mispronounced at all or made fun of 164 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: in middle school. I'm sure it's never happened. But he 165 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: has good stuff. I mean, he was m Pipeline's Yankees 166 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: Pitcher of the Year last year. Eleven strikeouts per nine 167 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: in the minor leagues. Stand out from Northeastern University. He's 168 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: built like an absolute monster. Throws ninety five ninety six. 169 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: We saw a good cutter today. We saw a couple 170 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: of breaking pitches, you know, we saw over top curveball 171 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: in the third inning, but he was mostly working on 172 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: the fastball. You could see. He first popped on my 173 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 1: radar last year because of the strikeout numbers at Hudson Valley, 174 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: and then he was on a video that I saw 175 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: from Yankees Farm excellent. Check it out if you get 176 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: a chance. But I've heard that he's very coachable, he's 177 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: very smart, and both of those are super important for 178 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: a pitcher. I like those kind of studious pitchers like 179 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Garrett Cole or Max Freed, who they were just talking about. 180 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: They have a very similar kind of way of thinking 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: about pitching, and he's one of these guys. He's a 182 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: guy who I think could move quickly through the minor leagues. 183 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: The fact that they're giving him starts in spring training 184 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: means they at least, you know, like something about him. 185 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: It's hard not to like a guy with a frame 186 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: like that and an arm like that ninety five, ninety six, 187 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: and giving the pitching injuries that we've already had this spring, 188 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: never count anyone out as making an appearance throughout the season. 189 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: For a big guy, his mechanics are smooth. The cutter 190 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,719 Speaker 1: looked like a major league pitch. He's also working on 191 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: a splitter. I didn't see it, but I might have 192 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: looked away if he threw it. The first two innings 193 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: were terrific, but you could tell that he kind of 194 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: ran out of gas in the third inning. That's what 195 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: happens in spring training. That's why pitchers only go three 196 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: innings in spring It's like when a basketball player is 197 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: coming up short on his jump shot, you know they're 198 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: getting tired. When a pitcher misses high in the zone, 199 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: you could tell that they're getting fatigued. And in the 200 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: third inning he was just missing high. So his back 201 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: and his legs are not trained to go more than 202 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: three innings at this point, which you wouldn't expect them 203 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: to be, and so he tired. Out a little bit, 204 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: but I like his repertoire. I think he's got a 205 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: chance to make the big leagues. He's already twenty four 206 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: years old, so it would not shock me if they 207 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: rush him through or if he begins the season at 208 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: Triple A. Next postgame show I said, will be Monday night, 209 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: Max Freed on the Mound. Tune in for that one, 210 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: for sure. Unfortunate thing about Max Freed is that I 211 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: absolutely suck with him on MLB the Show. Every time 212 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: I pitch with him, I get creamed. I played a 213 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: game this morning, I got rocked. So let's hope he's 214 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: a little better in the twenty twenty five version. All right, 215 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 1: so let's catch up on some of the stuff from 216 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: this week. Obviously, losing Luis Heal was the big story 217 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: of the week. We'll find out more about that in 218 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: a few days, I'm sure, but it's gonna put pressure 219 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: on Marcus Stroman. I think it steps up the competition 220 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: for who's gonna be the number six starter. Will Warren 221 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: The other day through the ball well, there's been a 222 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: a big comparison online about his mechanics compared to Mike 223 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: King's mechanics, and if you go back to when he 224 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: first came up last year. That's one of the first things 225 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: I talked about was that his mechanics look very similar now, 226 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: just like Spencer Jones's mechanics looked very similar to Aaron Judge. 227 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't make him Aaron Judge, right, Just because you 228 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 1: shot Jesse James, doesn't mean you're Jesse James. You still 229 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: got to be able to pitch. You still got to 230 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: be able to hit. We'll see how it works out. 231 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: But I like the way he threw the ball the 232 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: other day. I mentioned on the Luis Heel video that JT. 233 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: Brubaker was an option too. But then I saw after 234 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: I went live it had broken shortly before I went live, 235 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: and I just hadn't seen it yet that he actually 236 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: has some broken ribs. So he is done for a while. 237 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: So injuries have been a problem in spring training. Still 238 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: know John Carlos Stanton Yankees released a statement during the 239 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: eighth inning today that he is still tending to a 240 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: personal matter in New York City. They said he had 241 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: PRP injections in both elbows. That's platelet rich plasma In 242 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: case you're wondering. For the newbies, that just means Basically 243 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: they're putting in some like clean plasma with like the 244 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: stuff in there that helps it heal faster. I'm not 245 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 1: a doctor. I didn't even stay at a holiday and 246 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: express last night, So take everything I say with a 247 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: grain of salt medically, but from what I understand, that's 248 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: what it is, and it was something that Bartolo Cologne 249 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: had done. I remember when he first came to the Yankees, 250 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: he had had shoulder issues and he had a PRP 251 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: injection and it kind of rejuvenated his career a little bit. 252 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: So you know, hopefully he's able to make a speedy recovery. 253 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: But he is going to open the season on the IL, 254 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: which opens up a spot for the DH position, and 255 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: I think right now my favorite to win that job 256 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: is Ben Rice. Just the way he's swinging the bat, 257 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: the way he looks at the plate. Hey, he has 258 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: some experience. He's on the forty man roster. But we'll see. 259 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: We got a voicemail about a reshuffle and I'll play 260 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: that when we get to the back end of the show. 261 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: On the plus side this week, Garrett Cole looked very 262 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: good last night. The change up the slider both sharp 263 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: fastball was crisp Cody Bellinger has looked phenomenal in spring training. 264 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: He smoked a home run last I've seen him play 265 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: like three or four times this spring, and he's looked 266 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: great every time. He's done something nice. Every time he's 267 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: either hit the ball hard or he's made a nice 268 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: play in the field. He's hustling and running the bases, 269 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 1: and last night he breaks out the laser beam home run. 270 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Excited to see what he's gonna do this year. Austin 271 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: Wells hit an absolutely titanic blast last night, lowing in. 272 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 1: That's the danger zone for lefties. When they drop that 273 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: batthead on it, they can be dangerous. Last year we 274 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: saw him do it a few times, but we also 275 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: saw him swing through a lot of pitches last year. 276 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: As he becomes more comfortable as a major league hitterer, 277 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: I think he's really gonna hit. I think he's gonna 278 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: be a deadly hitter one day. He could be a 279 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: DH because I think his bat will outweigh what he 280 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: can do defensively. And the Yankees do have a lot 281 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: of good catching prospects in the system, including Jesus Rodriguez 282 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: and so forth. A lot of talk this week continues 283 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: to be about Jason Dominguez and the struggle struggles he's 284 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: gone through in the outfield. He did have one play 285 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: today where he had to throw. It was up the line, 286 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: didn't look like a particular strong throw. The thing that 287 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: concerns me is his routes. He doesn't read the ball 288 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: well off the bat, and then he has to kind 289 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: of try and make up for it with his speed. 290 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: And luckily he does have some speed, but that's not 291 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: always conducive to tracking the baseball right. Things like spin, 292 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: sun wind, all of that can play havoc when you're 293 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: really sprinting to get the baseball and the balls kind 294 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: of bouncing a little bit. It's just stuff that outfielders 295 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: have to deal with, and he just might not have 296 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: played enough organized baseball as an outfielder to be good 297 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: at it. Hopefully it comes in time, but the instincts 298 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: are kind of the thing right now. Anyone who's played 299 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: the outfield at a high level can tell you the 300 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: initial jump that you get is extremely important. It's something 301 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: that's hard to teach. It's reaction time, it's vision. I 302 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: did notice that he's growing a little bit of a beard, 303 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: taking advantage with the new policy, but unfortunately, I don't 304 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: think that's gonna help his defense too much. All right, 305 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: let's get to the fun part of the wins here 306 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: my favorite part of the show, because if we're giving 307 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: out the Belt award, that means the Yankees have picked 308 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: up a w reminder that you can vote on the 309 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: Belt winner, talk about the Belt winner or the Bomb. 310 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: You can call in during the show and we'll play 311 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: some voicemails. We're gonna do that all year long. We're 312 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: gonna have voicemails, not only during the postgame, but the 313 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: following morning seven, eight, eight, nine, nine, ten, sixty eight. 314 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: The voicemail numbers always on the screen. We got some 315 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: first time callers today. During the regular season, the Belt 316 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: would have almost certainly gone to Gabrielson, who at the 317 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Grand Slam to blow the game open. But it's spring 318 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: training and I literally have zero pictures of the guy. 319 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with someone else, and that someone 320 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: is George Lombard Junior. Four hundred and fourteen foot home 321 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: run off the scoreboard will not turn twenty years old 322 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: until June. As we get a look from camera B 323 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: a little more overhead shot, he's gonna be a player. 324 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you can just tell when a guy 325 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: is made to be an athlete, and the way he 326 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: moves his physical frame. He is a prospect that I 327 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: am growing more and more excited about every time I 328 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: see him. And he takes the first belt of the year, 329 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: Frankie Baseball says, Summer of George, Summer of George. Love it. 330 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: This is gonna be a year where he really takes off. 331 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, we could see him in Triple 332 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 1: A by the end of the year if he has 333 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 1: a strong start to the season and gets comfortable and 334 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: begins to, you know, make a name for himself. He's 335 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: already gotten a ton of calls from the Yankees about trades. 336 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: They're saying, no. I talked to the guy from Baseball America, 337 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: Jeff and and he was talking about how they kept 338 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: getting told to move him up on their prospect rankings 339 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: because everybody thinks he's gonna be legit, and you know, 340 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: sometimes the eye test just doesn't lie. George Lombard is 341 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: a guy who who passes the eye test, and I'm 342 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: just to see what he does in his future. All right, 343 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about the Astros playing here 344 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: in Florida. It seems like they've been in Houston for 345 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: as long as I can remember, but in Florida this year, 346 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: I feel like that rivalry has kind of taken a 347 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: step back a little bit. Because the Astros had taken 348 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: a step back, They've begun to reset a little bit. 349 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 1: They lost Bragman. He signed with the Red Sox, so 350 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: he stays in our division. He's gonna be trouble there 351 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: in Boston with that leftfield wall. They traded Kyle Tucker. 352 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: Obviously the Yankees had an opportunity to trade for Kyle Tucker. 353 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: They wouldn't give up Louis Heel. Now Louis Heal's injured. 354 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: I saw someone saying fire Cashman over that. But I mean, 355 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: it's just unpredictable. Although you know, Luis Heal did see 356 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: a big increase in innings from you know, last year 357 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: to this year, so maybe it was predictable. Who knows, 358 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 1: and maybe it's me, but I just feel kind of 359 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: ripped off. I feel like since twenty fifteen, the Astros 360 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: had the Yankees' number with that core, and now that 361 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: core is pretty much gone except for al Tuvane. You 362 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: know Alvarez now, But I feel like the Yankees just 363 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: never got the revenge that I wanted them to get, 364 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: you know, with them taking a step back, even moving 365 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: Altuve to left field, it just feels like a different team. 366 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't hate them as much as I used to, like. 367 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: I just I just don't have the the visceral hate 368 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: for those guys now, the individual guys, like I still 369 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 1: see George Springer and I'm like, you know, screw that guy. 370 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: But and I still don't like Altube. I saw Altuve 371 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: running out to left field yesterday. He's gonna be playing 372 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: the outfield this year, and it looked like in the 373 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: home run Derby where they allow the little kids from 374 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: Little League to play the outfield. That's what he looked 375 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 1: like out there. But good luck to him, you know. 376 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: I just feel like I wanted the Yankees to win 377 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: one of those big series against that core while they 378 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: still had Verlander, while they still had all these guys, 379 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: and it just didn't happen. So hey, it is what 380 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: it is. I feel a little bit robbed, But that's baseball, 381 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: all right, for all the dudes like me who are 382 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: losing their hair up top. 383 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 384 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about when I shaved it for 385 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: the ben Rice three run. I'm talking about getting old. 386 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: My hair's fallen out. It is what it is. I'm 387 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: not ashamed of it. I wear a hat almost all 388 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: the time because I like hats, not because I'm ashamed 389 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: of my hair.

We got a 415 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 1: comment here from Frankie Baseball. He wants to know what 416 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: Nostra Derek picks for the Oscars tomorrow. Well, here's the thing. 417 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: I really have not seen all the Oscar movies this year. 418 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anywhere near as many movies during this 419 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: year as I typically see. I did watch the Timothy 420 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: Shallowme movie about Bob Dylan, a Complete Unknown last night. 421 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: I thought the music was tremendous. I thought Timothy Schallomey 422 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: was tremendous. I hope he wins for that. The movie itself. 423 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: I didn't love, but he's pretty much the major pick 424 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: that I have for this year. All right, let's play 425 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: our first voicemail here. 426 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Garret. 427 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 6: Some things that I was thinking about earlier was if 428 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 6: Pauza wins third, obviously that's locked up, and then what 429 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 6: I think could be done is Dominia has moved to 430 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 6: d H while gin Calbo's out. 431 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 7: He might be out all year, we really don't know. 432 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:45,200 Speaker 7: But then that would leave Osuanto Cabrera play a little 433 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 7: bit outfield too, because with you're probably moving Grisham to 434 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 7: center and Bellinger the last I mean, you probably don't 435 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 7: want to play Grisham every day, especially versus lasties. 436 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 6: So Caverra plays a little bit of left field. 437 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 1: It's possible. Look, I said the other day that they 438 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,360 Speaker 1: might want to move to mingas to d H. Well, 439 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: Stanton is out. Depends on how long Stanton's gonna be out. 440 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: Someone said that it's incredibly short sighted. I don't disagree. 441 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: It is kind of short sighted, but you gotta do 442 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: what you gotta do to win. And if your guy 443 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: is killing you in left field, right he's got a 444 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: month to work it out. But if he's still killing 445 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: you at the end of March. Can't run him out there. 446 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: I don't care how good he hits. We got some 447 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: news here, per Aaron Boom. Thanks to Action VJ in 448 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: the chat for bringing us to our attention. Dj Lem 449 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: Mayhew tweaked a calf today, so again, more lower half 450 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: injuries for dj Lem Mayhew. It is what it is. 451 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna have a lot of dj Lem 452 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: Mayhew injuries over the rest of this contract. I just 453 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: think his body is starting to betray him. 454 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, it's Connor from New Jersey. It's been a 455 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 6: while since I've called love your show. Always love your show. 456 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 6: So still wondering when you're gonna bring back no puns 457 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 6: intended with your boys because you guys went stylent from 458 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 6: the football stuff. But that's okay anyway. 459 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 8: My comment for the day is, well, I guess with 460 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 8: the Louis Heel news, Marcus Stroman. 461 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 6: Is probably ecstatic or not ecstatic, but I guess he's 462 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 6: gonna be the fifth guy in the rotation. Like you 463 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 6: were saying in your video. 464 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 8: That really sucks because I didn't like what I saw 465 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 8: from him last year. He was great in the first half, 466 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 8: like you've mentioned several times, but the second half was brutal, 467 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 8: and it seems like that's his pattern the last few years. 468 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 8: So I'm just hoping this is a short term injury 469 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 8: for Luis Heel and it's not something like Frankie Montas 470 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 8: where he was out the whole year with the shoulder 471 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 8: and then he got the last few weeks or whatever 472 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 8: and stucked. 473 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 6: So prayers up to Louis Heel, love your show, continue 474 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,160 Speaker 6: doing what you do. Body see you later. 475 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call first of all on no punt 476 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: intended so that we did a football show this winter. 477 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: For years people have been saying, Derek, you have got 478 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: to do a football show. So I brought in my 479 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: two favorite football fan friends, Justin and Frankie, and we 480 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 1: did a football show and nobody watched, and so we 481 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: shut it down because nobody was watching and it wasn't 482 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: worth the time I was putting in on it. So 483 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: it is what it is. I just don't know football 484 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: as well. I was talking to Justin the other day 485 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: because I did another video for another channel about my 486 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:36,959 Speaker 1: Apple Vision pro, kind of like a tech review, and 487 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: I was like, Justin, I think I just don't have 488 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: any talent other than the baseball podcast. Hey, you know, 489 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: nothing to be ashamed of. At least this is doing 490 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: well as far as the rotation. I mean, we're gonna 491 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: see guys probably come in and out all year. Stroman 492 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: needs to step up and if he can be good 493 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: for the first half while someone develops in the minor 494 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: leagues and then someone steps in when he fades, or 495 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: Luis comes back when he fades, Hey, I'll take hell. 496 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 1: I'll take Louise. Heel If he has just like a 497 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: strain in his shoulder and it's nothing like that's you know, 498 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna keep him out for the whole season, nothing structural. 499 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: If he comes back in May or June, that's honestly 500 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: not a terrible thing, because he pitched a lot last year, 501 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 1: Like he threw way more innings than they were expecting 502 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: him to, so it would be kind of like a 503 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 1: step back. In fact, we don't know how severe this is. 504 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: The fact that he's getting an MRI leads you to 505 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: think that, you know, it could be something that they're 506 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: at least worried about, but the fact that he's already 507 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: having shoulder issues it leads me to believe it could 508 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: be partially due to how hard they pushed him last year, 509 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: pitching all the way up through the World Series. He 510 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,880 Speaker 1: was only remember there was all this talk we're gonna 511 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: shut him down in June. They never shut him down, 512 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: and this is now it's time to pay the piper, Derek, Robert. 513 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 9: What the hell was with the what? 514 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 5: What is what? 515 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 9: Today's ballplayers they can't freaking get through goddamn spring training 516 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 9: anymore without getting hurt. I mean, it's a freaking hospital 517 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 9: award we got going ready. 518 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: It's always been like that, Robert, It's always been like 519 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: that as long as I can remember. There's been injuries 520 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: in spring training. Only reason we got Derek Jeter in 521 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 1: ninety six is because Fernandez got hurt. You know, Kenny 522 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 1: Rogers got hurt in his first spring training out, you know, 523 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: out in that year. Guys are always having issues, right, 524 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: Roger Clemens when they first got him, had a growing 525 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: issue that he pitched through all year. The thing is now, though, 526 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: there's a lot more weight training, a lot more weightlifting, 527 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: and that I think can lead to more muscle pulse. 528 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: But you know, thanks as always for calling Robert. Let's 529 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: try and keep it clean. 530 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 3: Hey, Hey, jeric A long time listener, first time caller, 531 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 3: really like the show. I've been watching him for a 532 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 3: long time, lifelong Yike fan since the early sixties, so 533 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: I think is the way much. But there you go. Hey, 534 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 3: I like what you said about the facial hair rule 535 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 3: in that people need to be good in their skin 536 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 3: and not feel awkward about their appearance or the way 537 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 3: they feel, and not be forced to do something they 538 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 3: don't want to do in order to play really well. 539 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 3: So in that vein, I'm wondering, why the heck we've 540 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 3: got the Martian Demanus trying to play left field. He 541 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 3: came up as a center fielder. He's probably played his 542 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: whole life as a center fielder. Leave him there. He's 543 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 3: going to be an offensive juggernaut. Let him be that 544 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 3: as a rookie and play center field where he feels comfortable. 545 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 3: Move Fellinger over to left. It's a tough field. He's 546 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: a good athlete. He should be able to handle it. 547 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 3: Why are we doing this? It's crazy anyhow, Like your opinion. 548 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 3: I love your show, Keep up the good word. Thanks. 549 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: I agree with you one. I would have had Dominguez 550 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: in center field. I just I think centerfield is the 551 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: easiest position to play. I know it's a lot more running, 552 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: but the ball is always slicing away from you, right, 553 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: You just don't get the same effect that you get 554 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: on you know shots, uh, you know down the line, 555 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: dealing with uh, you know, foul territory and and and 556 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: the corners and all that stuff. I just think center 557 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: field is an easier position to play. Quite frankly, we 558 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: got another call about Domingez that just came in a 559 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: minute ago. I haven't listened to it yet. Let's hope 560 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: it's not full of f bombs. 561 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 10: Here, John, great job with your updates. Quick point, tell 562 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 10: me what you think struggles with Jason Dominge is in 563 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 10: left field. Do you think we should try to put 564 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 10: him in center field? He's more a natural center fielder 565 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 10: and let Vellinger and Judge play left and right, take 566 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 10: them and just let him settle in the center field 567 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 10: that maybe. 568 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate the call. So yeah. I mean, it 569 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: seems like a lot the Yankees fans are on the 570 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: same page here that he's probably better suited for centerfield. 571 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: Just doesn't look comfortable. And I mean when you're talking 572 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: about reads off the bat, which seems to be what 573 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: he's struggling the most with Honestly, you can definitely see 574 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: the reads off the bat better in centerfield. If you've 575 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: ever played center field versus one of the corner outfielders 576 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: corner outfield spots, you know this. You can see the 577 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: ball better based on where the pitch is, based on 578 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: the angle of the bat in center field. So, you know, 579 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: I don't disagree, but it does not seem to be 580 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: the way that Aaron Boone wants to go because and 581 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: this is kind of all built around Trent Grisham. When 582 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham comes in, he doesn't want to have to 583 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: move to Mingaz to left. It's like, well, then just 584 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: play Grisham in left, you know, when you need to 585 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 1: give you know, some action or whatever it is. What 586 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: it is, I've done. I'm finished trying to figure out 587 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: what Aaron Boone is doing.
