He 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 3: cleans up for his close deep black wall center Peel 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 3: Perkins back track wall, see yah. 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: Driven out your right field. 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: Of deep, going about. 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 3: Your real turning looking see y'all the Bronx bombers here 9 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 3: in Milwaukee. 10 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 4: It was April twenty seventh, and it was game two 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 4: of a three game set between the Yankees and the Brewers. 12 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 4: Change in the lineup tonight. Alex Verdugo was the new 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 4: cleanup hitter, and it took exactly one pitch for him 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 4: to clean up My recap, your reactions co then up next? 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 4: This is then why why recaps. 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: When they pull me back? 17 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 4: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Good night to 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 4: be a Yankees fan who likes offense. Yankees went off 19 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,759 Speaker 4: for fifteen runs tonight. Joining me tonight, my co host 20 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 4: from another coast, Terrence Kim, back with us from LA 21 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 4: to break down a one sided Yankees win TK after 22 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 4: two tough losses. This one feels pretty good. 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, way to respond. I don't think they've really 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: had an offensive breakout like that this year, so far, 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: so that was really definitely good to see, especially with 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of different guys in the lineup struggling in 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: the last couple couple of games here. So nice to 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: see some guys break out of it, for sure, and 29 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 1: always nice to for you know, just to put it, simply, 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: beat the shit out of a team. 31 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: I mean, Eminem would call it a good old fashioned, 32 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 4: passionate ass whooping. And they the Brewers got their shoes, 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 4: coating their hat, took in. All right, let's go to 34 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 4: the highlights real quick, getting a new highlight screen tonight, 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 4: So new lineup TK Alex Verdugo was in the cleaned 36 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: up spot. He smoked a three run home run in 37 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 4: the top of the first inning. Slider kind of went 38 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 4: down and got it Ben in the knees and he 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 4: knew it instantaneously. Only three hundred and eighty nine feet 40 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 4: one hundred and eight point or one hundred point eight 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 4: miles an hour off the bat and no doubt twenty 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 4: five degree launch angle and a max height of sixty 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: eight feet. So Carlos Rodon tremendous tonight. He gave up 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 4: an early home run, but then he settled in, had 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: the slider work in TK what'd you see. 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: With Rodano was really interesting because that first inning he 47 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: gave up the first out of the game was actually 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: a pretty nice play by Verdugo and left, but that 49 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: ball was like smoked. And then there was a pop 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: up a flyball out in the outfield where that was 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: hit really hard, it just missed the barrel, and then 52 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: the home run. So me in the first inning, first inning, 53 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like, man, is he about to get just 54 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: tattooed this outing? But he settled in really nicely after that, 55 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: not even rough first inning, but I guess rough ish 56 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: just just a bunch of loud outs that in. So 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: he settled in pretty nicely for the rest of the game. 58 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: Had the slider working, as you guys see right there. 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: I mean that pitch was really really working for him. 60 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: And when rodin the reason that pitch works for him 61 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: so well is his fastball and the slider. They tunnel 62 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: so well together. They have like the exact same release points, 63 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: so when it comes out of the hand. As a hitter, 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: you really don't know what's coming. You got to identify 65 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: that pitch really quickly, and he was able to dot it. 66 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: So that's good to see and the Verdugo home run. Yeah, 67 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: that was pretty nice, Judge golfing that one out of there. 68 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: He's got some pretty sick power. I know everyone was 69 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: worried about Judge. I will fully admit. They showed a 70 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: graphic today where they were showing his numbers compared to 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: last year versus this year with middle middle pitches, and 72 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: I kid you not, last year he had like an 73 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: over five hundred average on it and this year was 74 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: like two hundred. So yeah, not what you want to see. 75 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: It's starting to have the toe situation creep in. Maybe 76 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: you're like, is that bothering him? But you know what, 77 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: he's I think he's gonna come around. He'll figure it out. 78 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of hits tonight, big home run, He's 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: got five home runs. He's got the ops up to 80 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 4: seven eighteen. We can actually take a look at Aaron 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 4: Judge's stats, actually, if you want, uh so, let's go 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: ahead and take a look at that. You know, he's 83 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 4: sitting one ninety five home runs fifteen Ribby's seven eighteen. 84 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 2: Uh I got obp. It's actually ops. Let me fix 85 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: that real quick. 86 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 4: But you're seeing the power occasionally, not as you know, 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 4: routinely as we've seen in years past. But you know 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 4: he's judge, you'll come around. I feel one confident that 89 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 4: you know our guy will be back to matching baseballs 90 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: in short order, no doubt. All right, So let's go 91 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 4: ahead and kind of walk through as the chat is 92 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: filling up. We've got about four hundred and fifty in here. 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: Let's get it. 94 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 4: Go it reminder, subscribe to the channel if you're new, 95 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 4: it's free. That way, you'll never miss a recap, even 96 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: if you miss a game once in a while. 97 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: And let's get to the key takeaway. 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 4: So first thing we got to go back and take 99 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: a look at is the Alex Verdugo home run in 100 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,679 Speaker 4: the first inning. Absolutely smoked first pitch that he ever 101 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: saw as the Yankees cleanup hitter. Him re run shot 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 4: eighty eight mile an hour slider down on. 103 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: His own, and he just scoops him. 104 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: Two days in a row with a home run, got 105 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 4: the Ops over eight hundred. 106 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: He's on fire. TK. 107 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: He's obviously not going to hit a home run every day, 108 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: but he's been swinging a hot bat. 109 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on leaving him in the cleanup 110 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: spot for a while. 111 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: Well, they're want to know with him in the cleanup spot, 112 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: so roll it out tomorrow too. I'm into it. He 113 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: used to are they playing tomorrow or they have the 114 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: day off traveling? 115 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: No, they're playing tomorrow. 116 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, been playing tomorrow, but yeah they He used to 117 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: hit cleanup with Boston quite a bit, if I remember correctly, 118 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: when they would come into Yankee Stadium or go over 119 00:05:58,600 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: to Fenway. 120 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 2: I'm into it. 121 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm one of those people I don't really like Rizzo 122 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: in the in the cleanup spot. I feel like Rizzo 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: sort of aged out of that role. He's still a 124 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: good player, still a service All Bible player, and he 125 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: obviously hit a home run tonight, but sometimes I feel 126 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: like the powers just maybe just a smidge underneath of 127 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: where he was a few years back. So I like 128 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: to drop him a little bit in the lineup. So 129 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: having Verdugo there to fill that role and another lefty bat, 130 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: I'm into it. I like it. He has like a 131 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: perfect short porch swing for Yankee Stadium as well. So 132 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm a fan, I really am. And I think they're 133 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna keep rolling with it. And you know he's hot 134 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: if he keeps hitting. Yeah, keep going with it. 135 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: Another Crooked number in the third inning. Obviously, labor Tors 136 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: has been struggling, but he hit a hard line drive 137 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: double into the right field gap to score all three 138 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 4: runs with the bases loaded, only his third extra basehead 139 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 4: of the season, third, fourth and fifth RBIs of the season. 140 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 4: He had three hits tonight. One of them is off 141 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: a position player, so we can decide if we want 142 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: to count that. 143 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: But here it is. 144 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 4: It's a fastball right down the middle. He just drops 145 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 4: the barrel on it, and you knew by the way 146 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 4: it was splitting that outfield that everybody was coming around 147 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: to score. I feel like he definitely needed that. I 148 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 4: feel like he's at his best when he's going to 149 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: right field. 150 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: TK. What are you thoughts on Labor. 151 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, for sure. He definitely maybe some confidence lacking 152 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: coming into this game. Struggling contract year. You wonder if 153 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: that's starting to creep into the mind a little bit 154 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: thinking about his bag, if you will, that he should 155 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: be getting in the off season. Most likely not with 156 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees though, But yeah, he's always been a right 157 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: center gap kind of guy. He has a little bit 158 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: of a his swing. His swing path has sort of 159 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: tailored that way, and every time we see Glabra tor 160 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: As struggle. He's trying to pull everything all the time, 161 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: trying to pull outside pitches low and outside pitches, trying 162 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: to pull it to left field. You got to go 163 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: with those pitches, is and when he's just kind of 164 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: depositing them over in right center, that's just you know, 165 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: keep the carousel going on the base bats, that's really 166 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: what you got to do there. So he hasn't hit 167 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: any home runs though so far this year, which it's 168 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: been over one hundred at bats, I think at this point, 169 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: like you know, it's definitely you kind of wonder what's 170 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: going on there. Just to be clear, we're never going 171 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: to see thirty eight home run laboratories ever. Again, those 172 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: are juice base balls. That's a whole different thing. But 173 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I thought that what do we say the over under 174 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: wasn't at the beginning that we said twenty right for 175 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: home runs. 176 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,479 Speaker 2: I thought it was twenty five. 177 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that. So yeah, I think he could 178 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: still do that. But the power numbers, I guess that's 179 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: that is a little bit concerning. But again May first 180 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: is Wednesday, so that's only one month of the season. 181 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: You know, guys, long season. We'll see where he's at 182 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: in July. 183 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 4: Say, yeah, so Oswaldo Cabrera, he's been cooling off a 184 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 4: little bit. He picked up an RBI single in the 185 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 4: top of the fifth, but showing signs of life. 186 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: Top six. 187 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: Speaking of signs of life, Aaron Judge. 188 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: That's another home run for. 189 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: Judge, all right, but Judge. 190 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 2: Kind of out in front of it. It was a slider. 191 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 4: And he hits it out to dead center field, two 192 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 4: run shot, home run number five, just was able to 193 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 4: use his leverage to barrel it up and get it 194 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 4: out of the ballpark. Just a beautiful swing from aj. 195 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 4: I contend that Judge's gonna be just fine. 196 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: What do you think? 197 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to be just find the 198 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: track records there. And that swing alone kind of proves 199 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: it because he really hit that on his front foot. 200 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: It's one of those hunt fastball just to offspeed kind 201 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: of swing right there, and that's not a ball that 202 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: has any business going out. It's just that because he's 203 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge and he's literally a monster. Then it just 204 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: that ball kept carrying in the air there. So I 205 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be just fine. Yeah, this start is 206 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: definitely not ideal. I'm one of those people that definitely 207 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: thinks the lack of spring training at bats has a 208 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: lot to do with that. I just don't think he 209 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: had enough spring training at bats to really get his 210 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: timing down and get locked in, and that probably cause 211 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: him to have a little bit of a slower start. 212 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: But I think he's gonna come around just fine. The 213 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: only concern anybody should have about Aaron Judge is that 214 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: toe bothering him and is that why he's been struggling? 215 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: And from every indication that the Yankees have given us 216 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: that Aaron Judge himself has given us, there's no reason 217 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to think that right now. So you just have to 218 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: be patient. And maybe today's today was the game that 219 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: just lets him break out and he kind of rides 220 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: that wave and gets a little bit more confidence going 221 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: and he's back to being the Aaron Judge that we 222 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: all know and love. 223 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, Anthony Rizzo also went deep in the sixth inning. 224 00:10:50,480 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 4: Nice swing from him, a mile an. 225 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 2: Hour slider, got too much of the plate. 226 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 4: Minds a second row, fourth of the season, third home 227 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: running about a week, so he's heating up. 228 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: That made it eleven to one. 229 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 4: After that, the Yankee started pulling regulars out and the 230 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 4: Brewers put in a position player to pitch John Carlos 231 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 4: Danton hit a three run shot off of him in 232 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 4: the ninth inning. We're not going to do a hype 233 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: real for home runs off of infielders, but with the 234 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: all yeah, I mean, it counts on the stats, but 235 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 4: we're not going to hype it up. 236 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: So it's like an empty netter in hockey though, that's 237 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: what it's the equivalent, I think. 238 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: So it reminds me of when I was in high 239 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: school and I was playing basketball. I was not good 240 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 4: against the other guys because I was kind of skinned, 241 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 4: skinny and short, but when I would play against the girls, man, 242 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 4: I would wreck shot. So so with all of the offense, 243 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 4: you know, the pitching might go a little bit overlooked tonight. 244 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 4: But we got to talk about the man of the hour, 245 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 4: in my opinion, Carlos rode On, who I finally learned 246 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 4: how to say his name. 247 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: Uh. 248 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 4: Brewers got a run in the top of the first 249 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 4: on the monster home run from Rhys Hoskins, but after 250 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 4: that he was filthy. He was very effective. Slider was 251 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 4: the strikeout pitch today. He was getting it to dive 252 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 4: down and into the right handed hitters, they had no chance, 253 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 4: got some soft contact. Final line six innings, two hits, 254 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: one run, one walk, eight strikeouts. You see the numbers 255 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: there on the season. As we look at his season 256 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: real beginning with tonight's start, he's made six starts, he's 257 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: two and one. He's got a two point four to 258 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: eight ERA thirty strikeouts in thirty two and two thirds innings, 259 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 4: so he's creeping up closer to that. You know, nine 260 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 4: strikeouts per nine, you like to see him go above that. 261 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 4: He had twelve k per nine in UH with the 262 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 4: White Sox and with the Giants, So he's creeping up 263 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: in that right direction. The whip is down to a 264 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: very respectable one point one nine. So I ask you, Terrence, 265 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 4: is Carlos rode On back? 266 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: Yes? I do think so. Also, something with Carlos Rodond 267 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: that I've noticed, I feel like his starts have kind 268 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: of gotten better and better with every time he gets 269 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: out there there. There's definitely been in a trend in 270 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: the right direction with him. As you can see that, Man, 271 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: that was really nice that pitch that I just looked 272 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: at that on the highlight. That was really nice slider 273 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: right there, But yeah, that pitch has kind of been 274 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: as a bread and butter so far. If he can 275 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: be Carlos Rodin that we signed and we're fingers crossed 276 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: that Garat Cole comes back and he's Coal and he's 277 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: healthy and all's good. That that's a really really good 278 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: one two punch. That might be one of the best 279 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: one two punches in baseball. Definitely top three, I think, 280 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: you know. So if you're gonna have those two guys 281 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: pitching in that way, that that really changes the complexion 282 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: of the starting rotation. The pitching has always been a concern, 283 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: but honestly, they've done a really good job so far, 284 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 1: especially without Cole at Look, guys, if you're gonna look 285 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: at where the Yankees are as a whole and basically 286 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: no Coal and essentially no Judge because he hasn't hit, 287 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: and you're gonna tell me that they're they're pretty much 288 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: battling for first place right now with the Baltimore Orioles. 289 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: That's an enormous win, enormous win. So you just have 290 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: to consider when those two guys comes back, if Rodan's 291 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: going to pitch this way, that that potentially dangerous team there. 292 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: Seriously a couple couple additions here at the trade deadline 293 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: of plug in some holes in the bullpen and stuff 294 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: like that. Get some more some more arms. But other 295 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: than that, Yeah, I I am ready to de clear 296 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: that Carlos Rodon is in air. Quotes back if. 297 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: You will, Yeah, Mark Fisher, Michael Jordan. 298 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: The Michael Jordan headline, I'm back in Eric. 299 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm back. That was just a press release said I'm back. 300 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: So Mark Fisher with the super Chat says that Rizzo 301 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 4: gives him panic attacks when running. 302 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: Rizzo is just a horrible base runner. I gotta agree. 303 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: So. Uh. 304 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 4: We also saw the pitching debut this year for Jose Travino. 305 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: Didn't go great but gave up three runs in the 306 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: Yankees hang on to win a nail bier. 307 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: Taken away. Mister John Sterling. 308 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: The Safe Situation says, would love to hear your take 309 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 4: on Travigno pitching. I'm actually angry about it. Safe Situation 310 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: is the guy who calls in all the time. 311 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: I love your calls, man. 312 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: Sometimes the connection isn't great, though, but I usually can 313 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 4: make out what you're saying. But not always great for 314 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 4: playing on the air. But I'm not pissed about Travino pitching. 315 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: I mean, he's saving the bullpen. He was just lobbing 316 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 4: in knuckleballs. You know, he's a catcher, so he's got 317 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 4: good reaction time somebody hits one back at him. I 318 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 4: have absolutely no concern about that whatsoever. 319 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: What do you think, TK? 320 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, that game was over and like the sixth inning, 321 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: so whatever, a game like this, I'd rather pitch a 322 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: position player than burn out one of my bullpen arms. Honestly, 323 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: there's no need. There really is no need. So and 324 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: then we learned what right before the game that Ian 325 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: Hamilton wasn't available yesterday because of soreness, So why why 326 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: even stress it? The game was over? You know, just 327 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: just throw Travino. It's fun. It's kind of fun for 328 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: him to to do it. So, yeah, you know, fit 329 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: why not? 330 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess Michael Tonkin wasn't available to pitch tonight, 331 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: so they went with Travino. This is the game where 332 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 4: you throw Tonkin when you're up fifteen to one. Honestly, yeah, 333 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 4: but all right, so you know, as his custom, we 334 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: get a guest on here. You're I mean, you're not 335 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: guessed anymore. You're the co host here occasionally, but I'm 336 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: gonna let you pick the belt tonight. So who's it 337 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: gonna be. 338 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: It's it's It's definitely debatable, and there were multiple people 339 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: that were deserving, But at the end of the day, 340 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go with mister Carlos Rodin for 341 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: the Belt today. 342 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: I told he might get some booze for that one. 343 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine, that's that's cool. 344 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: People can disagree. Yeah, I've had my booze. I've taken 345 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: my share of licks here. Yeah. 346 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: The the pick that I would have made probably would 347 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: be Verdugo three for five with four RBIs and the 348 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 4: big three run home run in the first inning. 349 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 2: That probably would have been my pick, But it would 350 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: have been tough. I might have gone. 351 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 4: If I was picking co Belt, I might have gone. 352 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 4: I might have even gone Team Belt because it was 353 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 4: such a big team blowout. But hell, I'll take take 354 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 4: a Rodn Belt. Look, as you said, he looks back. 355 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 4: You know, if he pitches to a two point four 356 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 4: to eight ERA, which is what he's got this, you 357 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: know right now this whole season, you'll sign up for that. 358 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 4: That's what they're basically paying him for. You know, it 359 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: was I forget what it was his final year with 360 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 4: the Giants. I feel like it was like two point 361 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 4: four eight or something, two point four to six. 362 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: I think I think his final year was like his 363 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: best year. I even remember it at some point this 364 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: season being like two to four. Maybe not to end 365 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: the year, but I do remember, like you know on 366 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: MLB's Instagram page, I mean, like Carlos Hoddan with a 367 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: two twenty four RA so far. This guys, he's a 368 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: good pitcher. He's a really good pitcher. Injuries definitely derailed 369 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: him last year. Him struggling, I think that has everything 370 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 1: to do with him playing catchup. But he showed up 371 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: to camp in unbelievable shape, ready to go, ready to play. 372 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: I definitely, definitely very I had confidence in him going 373 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: in the season. But for all those people that are 374 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: saying he should not have gotten the belt, because I'm 375 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: sure there's going there's some of that going on. The 376 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: reason I will explain myself is just because he gave 377 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: the bullpen a much needed rest and as you said, 378 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: him being back big factor of that in because we're 379 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: looking at this as a whole season, kind of through 380 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: a whole season lens here for this belt pick. 381 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I feel like we got a 382 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: false slate of electors here in the chat there. 383 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: They got a call to ask for twenty thousand votes 384 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. 385 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 386 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 4: Robert Ryan says that Rodin was pitching down in the zone, 387 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 4: which is not classic Rodan. You know, that's a really 388 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 4: good point. I'm used to him throwing the high fastball lot. 389 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 4: Seems like he's gotten away from that the last couple 390 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 4: of outings, even with the a's, he was going with 391 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 4: more stuff, kind of like down and into the ridies, 392 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 4: pitching more outside corner, not necessarily challenging up in the 393 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: zone so much. So, maybe it's just a matter of, 394 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 4: you know, just redesigning his approach, you know, and maybe 395 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: that's allowing him to be a little bit more successful. 396 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: But let me ask you this. 397 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: So let's say Carlos Roodme continues to pitch, well, you know, 398 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 4: he's obviously your number two Nester Cortes has been dealing, 399 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 4: but you've got also Stroman. They're not going anywhere. But 400 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: you've got two guys at the back end, Clark Schmidt, 401 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 4: who throws you about five good innings sometimes five and 402 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: a third every time out, and Luis Heal who looks 403 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 4: like Nolan Ryan sometimes, I mean unbelievable. So let's say 404 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 4: Garrett Cole comes back in a month, right, it's April 405 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: twenty seventh. Let's just say, let's just say June first, 406 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 4: a month and a few days, and everything is basically 407 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 4: status quo as it is now. Everybody keeps pitching exactly 408 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 4: like they are now. Louis Heal is still pitching well, 409 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 4: still get in a ton of k's, Clark Schmidt still 410 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 4: pitching well as he does, and still going about five innings. 411 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 4: What's your what's your plan for the rotation? 412 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: It's really it's a really tough call. Well, we're we're 413 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: assuming here that the trend that they're on is continuing 414 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: in the direction that they're in. So just with that, 415 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: with that in mind, I think I go with Heel 416 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: in the rotation, moving Schmidt to the bullpen. A couple 417 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: of reasons for that. Schmidt Schmidt like he's after the 418 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth inning and just kind of starts to 419 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: unravel for him. So if he were in that long 420 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: relief role, I think he could be a really effective pitcher. 421 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: We've also lost Johnny Lasagna for the year. He was 422 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: supposed to be our two inning guy. Maybe Clark Schmidt 423 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: could be that two inning guy and fill that role 424 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: right there. So and you're gonna have Louis Heel in 425 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: the rotation. Louis Hill is also younger, so keep that 426 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: in mind. He's got more service years under control. And 427 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 1: if you're gonna develop because I've said this before, but 428 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: he has elite starter stuff. His his problem is command 429 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: and commanding his pitchings. But he has elite starter stuff. 430 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: If you can hone in some of those mechanics, some 431 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: of those release points, different things like that, and you 432 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: can get him throwing strikes and him giving you, i 433 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: don't know, five six innings of pitching like that. He 434 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: has that He's shown us with the stuff he has, 435 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: I really do think he can develop into a very 436 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: nice pitcher for us. He has a lot of he 437 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: has a lot of young sevy stuff in him, right, 438 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: like the live fastball, the quick breaking ball, like I 439 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: kind of see a little bit of that different different 440 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: sort of pitchers. But as far as the fastball, that's 441 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: kind of where I think I'm getting that ideal. 442 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 2: Honestly, there's a few interesting takes. 443 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: So Finn Laje says, maintain a six man rotation, which 444 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 4: I don't think they'll do because that callows out your 445 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 4: bullpen a little bit. It's one less arm that you 446 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 4: have in the bullpen budget. And then Robert Ryan says, 447 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 4: Heel starts, Schmidt finishes. So maybe you go, you know, 448 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 4: five innings for Heel and then bring in Schmidt for 449 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 4: you know, the sixth, seventh, maybe the eighth, and save 450 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 4: the bullpen that day. You know, that's not really necessarily 451 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 4: a bad idea either, So I mean, I'm open to 452 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 4: different ideas. I think these type of things generally work 453 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 4: themselves out. Either somebody will be feeling something or need 454 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 4: a break. What here's my guess, here's just my prediction. 455 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 4: When Garrett Cole is ready to come back, if status 456 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: quo is being maintained, they'll place somebody on the injured 457 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 4: list with some kind of like phantom, even. 458 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 2: Though you're not supposed to do that anymore. 459 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 4: It'll be you know, tightness in the groin or something 460 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 4: that nobody really wants to get in there and check out, 461 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 4: and we'll and we'll have somebody will get a couple 462 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 4: of weeks off and then they'll ease Garrett Cole back 463 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 4: in and uh, and that's just kind of how it 464 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 4: will unfold. 465 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 2: That's just my prediction. 466 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 4: All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna take a few 467 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 4: more comments, few more questions. 468 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: I gotta get out of here. 469 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 4: Doug Ralph love Its Comments says, heal out of the 470 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: bullpen and the post season could be filthy. But again, 471 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 4: I worry about the command been lost, as it would 472 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 4: give everyone extra rest in the rotation. I don't want 473 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: heel pitching with extra rest. He's not good with extra rest. 474 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 4: And I don't want Garret Cole pitching on extra rest 475 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: because he doesn't like it. And you know, I want 476 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 4: I want him to be comfortable, although you know, maybe 477 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 4: coming back from the elbow injury, that's something that they 478 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: would want to do. So I'm not I'm not sure 479 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 4: which way they're gonna go. Uh. Tommy Hicks says, I 480 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: know Verdugo was a good was good tonight at cleanup hitter, 481 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 4: but I feel like he should be the leadoff hitter. 482 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on Verdugo at leadoff. 483 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm not mad at it, just be entering the season 484 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: this year. I was like in late July, early August. 485 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Vulpi and Verdugo sort of switching 486 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: off in that role, like righty's versus lefties facing that day. 487 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: For Volpi's cooled off a little bit since moving the 488 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: lead off I don't really care. I think he's the 489 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: perfect lead off hitter just as a player the way 490 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: the player type is, and I want him to grow 491 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: into that role because ideally he's gonna be your lead 492 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: off hitter penciled in for the next ten years, and 493 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: that's what you want. Verdugo, yeah, he could be a 494 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: leadoff hitter sometimes, but he's he's a guy who is 495 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a free agent at the end of the year. 496 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna resign him necessarily. I 497 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: think they would probably only resign him if Stanton is 498 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 1: gone for some reason, which probably won't happen. I don't 499 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: think they're gonna eat that contract. But with him, yeah, 500 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: he could lead off short but as far as the 501 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: way the team is playing right now, I think he 502 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: slots in better at the four hole just because he's 503 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: swinging a hot at right now, and he's swinging a 504 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: hot bat, so I want guys on base for him 505 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: to drive in some runs. You know, you see where 506 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm coming from. 507 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 4: Final thought here tonight for me is John Carlos Dans 508 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 4: actually having a decent start. You see just the two 509 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 4: ninety eight on base percentage, but he's doing damage. He's 510 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 4: got an eight h four oh ps six home run 511 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: sixteen RBIs now one of those obviously off of a 512 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 4: position player tonight. So we're not one hundred percent gonna 513 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 4: you know, we're not gonna throw a party over it, 514 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: but uh, he hasn't been terrible. 515 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: All right, ladies and gentlemen, hasn't no appreciate it. Everybody 516 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 517 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 4: TK again call into the voicemail seven sixty eight. 518 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: We're rebranding it as Morning Yanks. 519 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 4: It's been so popular that I kind of wanted to, 520 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 4: uh just take take it up a notch.
