1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: This is the Earth at a time when the dinosaurs 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: roamed a lush and fertile planet. A piece of rock 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: just six miles wide changed all that. It happened before, 4 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 1: it will happen again. 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: Uh, that would be nice. 6 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 3: Louis Heel had a terrific for a few innings. His 7 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: stuff was electric movement on his fastball. He was putting 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: the ball where he wanted to, and then all of 9 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 3: a sudden he hit that crunch and the Reds took 10 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 3: total advantage of him. And that was what we saw 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 3: in the last few starts. I agree with you one 12 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 3: hundred percent. Louis Heal should be closed down, shut down 13 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 3: for a little bit, and then move him right into 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: the bullpen because we need some bullpen help. That would 15 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 3: solve a problem. It solved a big problem. And please 16 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 3: kill Ferguson. I've had enough of him. 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: I know that the Yankees insist that Luis Heel is fine, 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: but it's evident from the eye test that he's not 19 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: as strong as he was a month and a half ago. 20 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: He's running out of gas. And if he keep running 21 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: him out there to get lit up, not only are 22 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: you going to hurt his confidence, you're going to hurt 23 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 2: him physically because his body is not prepared to take 24 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: on this kind of innings limit. And as for Caleb Ferguson, 25 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: I don't know what they saw in this guy. He 26 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: is terrible. He's one of the worst, most unreliable relief 27 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: pitchers that I've seen the Yankees pick up in years. 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: He gives me Steve Howe vibes. And if you're a 29 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: younger fan and you don't remember Steve Howe, look him up. 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: He was awful. 31 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek nichrom South Carolina, just one of other comment 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 4: like I've always have on our pitching. You know, when 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 4: we can't get five innings out of our pitching staff, 34 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 4: it puts a lot of pressure on our bullpen and 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: and our bullpen just to me, they're just they're just 36 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 4: not there. And guys like Scott Efros coming back and 37 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 4: Ian Hamilton, these are not the answer. These guys are, 38 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 4: at best, you know, just average middle relief. They're not 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 4: really that good. They're they're they're they're fluky. One night, 40 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 4: they're on, one night they're off. You really don't know 41 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 4: what you're getting with them. They're not consistent on a 42 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 4: on a game the game basis we need to get 43 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: a core of good middle relievers in there. I don't 44 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 4: know where you can go get him at this point. 45 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: I have one guy in mine that I've talked to 46 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 4: you about, but for whatever reason, he's not he's not available, 47 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 4: and we need to get a closer so we can 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,280 Speaker 4: move maybe play homes down to the eighth inning or 49 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 4: seventh and eighth inning, where that heavy sinker will have 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 4: more of an effect. And you also know that you 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: know I have you know, I think the I think 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 4: Miller from the ass potential target for that. I think 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 4: we'd have him for six years. And I don't think 54 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 4: he'll blow his elbow out, because that's why you have 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: a coaching staff. That's why you have a pitching coach, 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 4: a guy who teachers. Think the kids had to throw hard, 57 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 4: but how to save some of that so he doesn't 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 4: blow out his arm in a year or two. 59 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: If it were possible to teach that, I think everybody 60 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: would be teaching it, because nobody wants their pitchers to 61 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: get hurt. It seems like the UCL is snapping more 62 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: and more often because guys are throwing more max effort, 63 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: and if you take away his max effort, he's not 64 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: going to be throwing one hundred plus. Also, I don't 65 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: think the A's are going to trade Mason Miller. I 66 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: think they're going to hold on to him a little bit. 67 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: He's becoming a fan favorite out there in Oakland and 68 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: will be a fan favorite in Sacramento or Las Vegas 69 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: or wherever they decide to play next. But yeah, we 70 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 2: got to get some pitching, man. 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: I know that. 72 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: You know, Tonkin's been okay, Luke Weaver's been okay, but 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 2: we've had some missues. We mentioned it last night on 74 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: the on the postgame show. Ferguson is a complete miss 75 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: He has got to go. And you know, Victor Gonzalez 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: was no good, Dennis Santana's been no good. It seems 77 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: like there's been more misses than hits in terms of 78 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 2: these pickups that they've made this year. So I'm not 79 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: sure what the answer is, but there's got to be 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: something out there that the Yankees can do because we 81 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: can't keep running the same crap out there in the bullpen. 82 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 5: Hi, Dak, this is Kendall from New Jersey. Love your show. 83 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 5: In my opinion, it is time to send Lewis Heel 84 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 5: to the minor leagues. It's been six ineffective starts in 85 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 5: a row. So before this young man loses his confidence 86 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 5: totally by getting rang up by a big league team 87 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 5: similar to the minor leagues, let him take a couple 88 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 5: of weeks off, get his head back underneath him, call 89 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 5: him up for Will Warren or whatever. Probably well a 90 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 5: couple of weeks you can put the Yankees in a 91 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 5: position just to survive, or go on out heet cash 92 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 5: and make a training for the next Cameron Small or 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 5: the next veteran pitcher that you can find off with 94 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 5: somebody else's team for cheat that will give you four 95 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 5: or five innings. They may give up four runs, five runs, 96 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: but you have a chance to win. 97 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: So a couple of things. I don't disagree that Louis 98 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 2: Heil should either, you know, go to the minor leagues, 99 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 2: or go to the bullpen, or go on a phantom 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: eyel trip. But it hasn't been six ineffective starts in 101 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 2: a row. It's been three and two starts. Ago he 102 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: went four and a third. He gave up five runs. 103 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: Yesterday he went four innings, gave up four runs. And 104 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: that's exactly what you're advocating for, as somebody who pitches 105 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: to a nine era. I think we need somebody better 106 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: than that. Quite frankly, I think Louis Heal would be 107 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 2: very effective out of the bullpen if you get him rested. 108 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 2: But he's already thrown more innings than he's thrown in 109 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: years and years. It's really just not at move to 110 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 2: keep running him out there because he is clearly gassed, 111 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: clearly gassed, and it's just this is a product of 112 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: the Yankees not having enough depth. We've seen it with 113 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 2: the position players. We don't have the depth to make 114 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: up for guys going down, and now we're seeing it 115 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: in the pitching. The player development system has got to 116 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 2: do a better job. Now the Yankees do trade away 117 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: a lot of their guys. You know, there's no JP 118 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: Sears to go to, there's no Hayden Wiznski to go to. 119 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 2: We've traded away these guys, so got to keep that 120 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: in mind at the trade deadline too. This might be 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: a good year to pick up some depth in addition 122 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: to going out and getting the missing pieces. See what 123 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: you can move to get some depth. Maybe somebody needs, 124 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: you know, something that we have in abundance. Maybe they 125 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: need a catcher. We got three catchers, We've got a 126 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: Platinum Glove winner, Juan Jose Travino. Let's get some depth. 127 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: Let's move Austin Wells into the starting role. Let's call 128 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 2: up Augustine Ramirez to be the backup. I mean, that's 129 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: one option, but probably not the way the Yankees are 130 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: gonna go. But I'm just spitballing here. You got to 131 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: figure out a way to support this roster with some depth. 132 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 6: Gone there, good little comeback there came up just short. 133 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 6: Just wanted to say, I think the Yankees missed on 134 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 6: a real opportunity, honestly, to actually pass on Louis Heal 135 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 6: this go through the rotation. They had yesterday off, and 136 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 6: that would have been his start day. If they just 137 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 6: went on to the next guy on normal day's rest, 138 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 6: they could have probably went a round through the rotation 139 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 6: without getting any innings on his arm. Give the guy 140 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 6: some rest and he could have hopefully slid back in seamlessly. 141 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 6: Because to a lot of fans it does seem obvious 142 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 6: he's got a stuff. But the dude just a little 143 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 6: tired right now. And I think that was just kind 144 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 6: of a missed opportunity. Wasn't sure what you thought. Also 145 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 6: wanted to say, love the trade episode was all and 146 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 6: I kind of agree. I like Lucas airisag I think 147 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 6: I called with that earlier as well. And the dude 148 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 6: just looks good and keep up the good work man. 149 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Yankees totally missed an opportunity to rest Louise Heal. 150 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 2: They could have done it without disrupting the rotation, and 151 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: instead they watched him run out of gas. Yet again. 152 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: It's just another dumb move. The Yankees continue to make 153 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 2: dumb move after dumb move. They get in their own 154 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: way incessantly. And I don't know what to say, but 155 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 2: I would have definitely skipped him this trip through the rotation, 156 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: and you know, I'd find a way to skip him 157 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: next time, maybe the next two times, maybe the next 158 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: three times. It's clear to me that he needs a break. 159 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: And I don't know how the Yankees don't see this. 160 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 2: I wonder sometimes if they actually watch the games or 161 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: if they just look at the numbers. 162 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: We got some boat be daughters. 163 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 7: He's hitting the thirty to forty points over he did 164 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 7: last year, and he's breeding off and he's done a role. 165 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 7: I hate did it, man, But I missed Stin. I 166 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 7: never thought those words when it came out of my mouth, 167 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 7: but I missed John Carlo aka Michael stan So. 168 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 2: I don't blame anybody who wants to pull Anthony Volpi 169 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: out of the leadoff spot. I think you gotta let 170 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: him play through it. I think he's in a slump. 171 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: I think he'll come around, but I'm not opposed to 172 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 2: giving him a couple of days off to get his 173 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: swing right. I think he's a little beat down physically 174 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: and mentally as well. Shortstop is a very difficult position 175 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: to play every day. I don't care how young you are. 176 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: You know he's banged up. And yeah, I miss John 177 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: Carlow too. But here's the thing. You knew he was 178 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: gonna get injured. Brian Cashman said he's gonna get injured. 179 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: He guaranteed he's gonna get injured every single year, and 180 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 2: we got nobody to back him up. They were counting 181 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: on the Martian didn't work out, and you know you 182 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 2: gotta be more prepared. I mean, why is Augustine Ramirez 183 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: not up here? Why is you know, one of the 184 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: other big bats from the minor leagues not up here. 185 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 2: You got to Andrea's Shaparro. This would have been a 186 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 2: great spot for him. Once again, Brian Cashman failing to 187 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: provide depth when the Yankees need it. 188 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 7: In regard to Luis, heel thinking about putting that guy, 189 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 7: maybe giving him a little bit of a rest, and 190 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 7: you know, after they all sort of break, maybe putting 191 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 7: him in the bullpen as our closer. They Clay Holmes 192 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 7: are a set up guy, and maybe this will be 193 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 7: the thing we need. 194 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: I think if the Yankees do move Luis Hill to 195 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 2: the bullpen, he's not gonna immediately take over as the 196 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: Yankees closer. The Yankees wouldn't do that to Clay Holmes. 197 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 2: What I think they'll do is they'll put him in 198 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 2: for some low leverage situations to begin, and if he 199 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 2: pitches well, then you'll see him get more higher and 200 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: higher leverage opportunities. But I agree with everybody who has 201 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 2: called in and said that Luis Hill needs to go 202 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 2: to the bullpen. I think it's time. But I also 203 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: think he still needs a couple of weeks totally off, 204 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 2: whether that's a phantom Iel trip, whether that's a trip 205 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 2: to the minor leagues, and you just sit for a 206 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. I think he needs a total rap. 207 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: Not only has he thrown more innings than he's ever 208 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 2: thrown before, but there's all the spotlight of being, you know, 209 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,319 Speaker 2: this Rookie of the Year candidate, and you know, getting 210 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 2: all this attention. It's got to wear on him, not 211 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 2: only physically but mentally. I think he just needs a break. 212 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, I will see you after 213 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 2: tonight's game. Thanks for all your calls. Continue to call 214 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: in after each game and we'll continue to do this 215 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: voicemail show to get your takes out there. I'll see 216 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: you next time.
