1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: You want to talk at all. How's it going, everybody. 2 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,799 Speaker 1: I want to give the first comment here to Nicholas 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: laser Check, who says, we play this weekend, we sweep 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: this weekend. That's it. I agree one hundred percent. So 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sound like I'm roasting the Rockies, and maybe 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: i am, but I'm not trying to be mean spirited 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: about it, or you know, really make it sound like 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: I'm punching down, because that's not the point of this. 9 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 1: But I do want to illustrate the best that I 10 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: can how unacceptable it will be in my eyes if 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: the Yankees don't sweep this series. So much like many 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: of you, I've been watching baseball practically my whole life. 13 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: I don't recall ever seeing a team with an eight 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: and forty two record through fifty games. That's embarrassing, not 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: only for the sport, but for professional sports. They're not 16 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: in the same category as a major league team right now. 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: I can't ever remember seeing a team that has performed 18 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: this poorly, and so I'm not looking for three tight 19 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: ballgames this weekend. Okay, it's Memorial Day weekend, it's my 20 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: birthday weekend, and I get it. You gotta play one 21 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 1: day at a time. As Francis says in the chat, 22 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: I get it, that's a cliche. I don't care. You 23 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: have got to sweep this game, this series, no matter what. 24 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: Hunter Goodman is pretty much their best hitter. He has 25 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 1: an eighth one OPS to eighty two average, seven home 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: runs and thirty one RBIs. They also have Jordan Beck 27 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: eight sixty eight ops, eight home runs, somehow only sixteen 28 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: RBIs because they don't get on base. Those are really 29 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: they're only two dangerous hitters. If you avoid those guys 30 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: all weekend, you're gonna win. They have a twenty three 31 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: year old shortstop named Ezekiel Tovar, who is you know, 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: pretty good. He's got an extension already. I mean he's 33 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: he's not amazing, but he's one of their three hitters 34 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: with an OPS above or OPS plus excuse me, above 35 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: one hundred, which is league average. Five of the players 36 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: in their lineup are hitting two twenty one or less. 37 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: Their first base first baseman has struck out seventy one 38 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: times already. I forget his name. But that's not even 39 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: where it gets bad. The bad is really their pitching. 40 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: Their ace Kyle Freeland has a four point seventy five No, sorry, 41 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: The best best ERA on their staff is Kyle Feltner. 42 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: He has an ERA of four point seventy five. Their ace, 43 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: who they're gonna face tomorrow free, has a five point 44 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: six to eight ERA. Their number two starter, who they 45 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: will face on Sunday, has a six point three to 46 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: four ERA. Herman Marquez, who a lot of Yankees fans 47 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: have been wanting to trade for for years, has a 48 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: seven point sixty six ERA. The only decent pitcher with 49 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: an arm on their staff is Chase Dolander. And he's 50 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: a rookie and so he's got a six point two 51 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: to eight ERA. I like him though I watched him 52 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: pitch a couple of weeks ago. He looks like a 53 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: young Verlander to me. But listen, I don't want to 54 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: be overly dramatic. The Yankees need to just mop the 55 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: floor with this Rockies team. They need to mop the 56 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: floor with this team this weekend. This should be Thanos 57 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: versus Paul Blart Mall Coop. This should be Ferrari drag 58 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: racing a big wheel. This is a five star chef 59 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: and a cookoff against somebody who microwaves spaghettios that would 60 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: be me. This should not be a contest. My recap 61 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: should be five seconds long for all three games. The 62 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: Yankees beat the absolute piss out of the Rockies today 63 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: and it wasn't close the end. Yankees win. Here's the 64 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: belt winner. Anything less than three ass whippings on Memorial 65 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Day weekend and my birthday weekend is not acceptable. I 66 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: don't want anything on the menu other than three straight 67 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: beat downs, three straight good old fashioned, passionate ass whippings. 68 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: A tight weekend of baseball against a team that is 69 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: eight and forty two is not the kind of three 70 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: day weekend I am looking for. So please, let's drag 71 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: the field with these guys. Let's look at pitching matchups 72 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: real quick. Then we'll go through the lineup. So usually 73 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: the lower third graphic for this scene says who has 74 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: the advantage, but the Yankees have the clear advantage. This time, 75 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 1: it's not even close. Tonight's pitching matchup is Clark Schmidt 76 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: versus Tanner Gordon. Schmidt is one and one with a 77 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: four point four to one era Tanner Gordon is oh 78 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: and one with a five point six eight. Tomorrow's kind 79 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: of a Palin drone. You got Kyle Freeland versus Max Freed. 80 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: Freeland is oh and six with a five point five eight. 81 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: Freed is six and oh with a one point twenty nine. 82 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: And listen, I know there's no sure things in baseball. 83 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: People get hurt, freaks happen whatever. Tomorrow's the bat is 84 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: close to a sure thing as I can imagine. Game 85 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: three Sunday afternoon looks like we'll get Will Warren uh 86 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: starting against Antonio Censtala. Censtola, I don't know how to 87 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: say his name. One in eight with a five point 88 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: six four. It sounds like I won't have to know 89 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: his name for much longer. Listen, anything less than four 90 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: home runs from Aaron Judge in three games is a joke. 91 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I want the Martian going off. I want Volti fined 92 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: in the gaps all week end. I want Paul Goldschmidt 93 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: putting on a show. I want the Yankees to just 94 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: demolish the baseball this weekend, all weekend. So let's talk 95 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 1: about players to watch. Aaron Judge last ten games, three 96 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: ninety five, two home runs, seven ribbies. He's almost always 97 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: on air because he's always hot. He has somewhat slumpproofed 98 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: his swing a little bit. I'd like to see some 99 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: more home runs. I like to see the power numbers 100 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: pick it up a little bit. I mean, sixteen is 101 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: okay for him, you should have seventeen. I'd like to 102 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 1: see him get to twenty this weekend. You know, four 103 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: home runs in three games, let's get it done. Hey, 104 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 1: let's take care of two or three of them in 105 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: one game. Jason Demingez last ten games average is an 106 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: amazing two fifty, but four home runs and ten ribbies. 107 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: He did have three home runs in one game, a 108 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: grand Slam and a walk off the other night. Paul 109 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: Goldsmith last ten games, hitting three, so he had a 110 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: good series, one home run, seven RBIs in the last ten. 111 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: And Cody Bellinger, even though his street got snapped, hitting 112 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: three fifty seven with a three, with three home runs 113 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: and nine RBIs in the last ten games. So he 114 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: has been swinging the bat really well. All right, let's 115 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: take a look at the lineup for tonight. So we 116 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: got Trent Grisham in the leadoff spot. I think he's 117 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna have a good series. You know, the Rockies are 118 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: gonna be preparing for Judge. They're gonna be preparing for 119 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: Goldschmidt for you know, Cody Bellinger, no scout that's worth 120 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: a dam is. You know, he's gonna be working for 121 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: the Rockies, so they're gonna be looking at the main guys. 122 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I think that presents an opportunity for some other guys 123 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: to step up. Trent Grisham is one of those guys. Judge, 124 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: I think, no matter what, if they pitched him, he's 125 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: gonna just demolish the baseball because these are not good 126 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: pitchers and they don't scout well, and the ball travels there. 127 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: I think Judge is going deep at least two or 128 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: three times in the series, if not more. Ben Rice 129 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: he's another pick because I'm sure they're aware of him, 130 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: but I don't know if they know exactly how good 131 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: he is. And like I said, ball travels there. He 132 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: hits the ball in the air. Ben Rice batting third 133 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: d H tonight, Paul Goldschmid in the cleanup spot at 134 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: first base. I think he's gonna have a real good series. 135 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: He's been in the National League for a long time. 136 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: He's familiar with that ballpark, he's familiar with that pitching staff, 137 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: and Jason Demiguez in left field tonight. I hope he 138 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: gets hot again and you know, maybe goes off pads 139 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: the numbers a little bit. We know how good he's been. 140 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: His numbers are dragged down by his right handed hitting struggles. 141 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: So a good weekend from the left side maybe fixes that. 142 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi batting sixth, he is your shortstop. He is 143 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: gonna be my No. Stra Derek pick tonight. I didn't 144 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: actually officially build the page out today, so we'll skip that. 145 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: But he is my pick tonight. I think he is 146 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: going to hit a home run or a triple one 147 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: or the other three or four bags. I was tempted 148 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: to say one of each. I think a triple was 149 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: possible because he's a gap hitter and big gaps in Colorado, 150 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: big high wall and right field. Maybe he hits one 151 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: off the right field wall that ricochet is away. But 152 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: I also feel like he hits the ball in the 153 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: air a lot, very high fly balls, and they're gonna carry. 154 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 1: So Volpi is my pick tonight to go deep. Austin 155 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: Wells behind the dish Man. He's been struggling. He has 156 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: absolutely been struggling. You're not wrong to be frustrated. DJ 157 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: Lemayhew second base in Colorado. He has been there before, 158 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: batting champion and Gold Glove winner at that position for 159 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: the Rockies. And your bit Vivas, who hit his first 160 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: career home run to win the game, basically a couple 161 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: yesterday against the Rangers. So that's the lineup for tonight. 162 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: I saw somebody call this a punt lineup. I really 163 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 1: think the only thing missing is Cody Bellinger. But he'll 164 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: get plenty of opportunities in the series. All right, So 165 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: real quick, couple of things. We're gonna talk trades tonight. 166 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: Terrence cam comes on the show Friday nights. He's gonna 167 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: be on tonight and we're gonna have a nice long 168 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: segment dedicated to trades. We're at that point in the 169 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: season where you're gonna start hearing more trade rumors. You're 170 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: gonna start seeing more deals trickle in, usually one or 171 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: two in June, and then in July, as you approach 172 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: the deadline, you get more and more and more. I 173 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: think the Yankees are gonna be active this year because 174 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: they're in a good position, and Brian Cashman likes to 175 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: reinforce good positions. Right twenty seventeen, the Yankees had a chance. 176 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: They were ahead of schedule. He went out and he 177 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: got Tommy Cainley, he got Todd Frazier. You know, twenty 178 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 1: twenty two they won the division. He made a bunch 179 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: of trades. They didn't work out. And you know, I 180 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: think that this year is a year where he's gonna 181 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: go out and try and get a bullpen arm at least, 182 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: and probably another bat, probably a third base that unless 183 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: Orbit Vivas or somebody takes control of the third base 184 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: position in the meantime. So my assignment for you guys, 185 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: I want you to comment. I want you to leave 186 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: it in the chat. I want you to call in 187 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: and we'll try and include it. Seven eight, eight, nine, nine, 188 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: ten sixty eight. Let us know who you think the 189 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: Yankee should trade for. Forget about Paul Skins, forget about 190 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: Raphael Devers. Try and think like Brian Cashman over the 191 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: hill journeyman and retreads bonus points if they've already failed 192 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: as a Yankee once. No, but for real, let's let's 193 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: try and think outside the box. A little bit, quick 194 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: word from the Hall of Fame app and then I'll 195 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: be back with your comments and over we have all 196 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: seen it happen. Someone is one leg away from hitting 197 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: a massive parlay thousands of dollars on the line, and 198 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: then boom, an unexpected strikeout or garbage time bucket ruins everything. 199 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 1: That's the pain of betting on gut feelings. But now 200 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: there is a smarter way.

All right, So, Samantha Tez says, 213 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: it would be very embarrassing if we lose even one game. 214 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I'm saying I can't handle even 215 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: one law. This weekend. I need three to zero, and 216 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: I need the games to be stressed free, right. I mean, 217 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: we're taking a west coast trip. Everybody's gonna be tired. 218 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Let's just get it off to a good start, right, 219 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: Let's have three straight double digit scoring performances. You know, 220 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: let's take eleven, two, twelve one, and ten to one 221 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 1: those three scores. I'll sign up for that right now. Also, 222 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: Samanthas is happy birthday. Today is her birthday. Congratulations, happy birthday. 223 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: Francis Healy says Martian spaceship to Rookie of the Year. 224 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: I've been watching all of the different angles of the 225 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: Jason Dominguez home run from the other night. My favorite 226 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: one was taken on the field, and so they actually 227 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 1: might have not really been on the field when the 228 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: swing happened, but it's you know, from the perspective of 229 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: like the on deck circle and you see the ball 230 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: take off into the bleachers, and then the camera moves 231 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: in one shot like nineteen seventeen, to the home played 232 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: area where the team is gathering around, and you see 233 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: Jason come in and stomp and start, you know, jumping 234 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: up and down, and everybody's celebrating. I gotta say that 235 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: was one of my favorite moments of the you know, 236 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: last couple of years. Doug Hefferman says Soto is embarrassed. Honestly, 237 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm sick of sod. I'm tired of hearing about him. 238 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm tired of looking at him. Look, his manager called 239 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: him out. He's not hustling. He's having a bad year, 240 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: but I think he's gonna be okay. John Press says 241 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Hicks is available. No, you know, I was just 242 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: watching a highlight on Twitter X. Now I guess of 243 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: that catch that Aaron Hicks made against the Twins a 244 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Chad Green's on the mouth. It 245 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: was fourteen to twelve. It was at Target Field. It 246 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: was one of those late night games. There might have 247 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: been a rain delay or something, or maybe it was 248 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: just all the scoring, but I remember it was like 249 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning, and I was just dog tired. 250 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: This was I started the podcast, and Chad Green was pitching, 251 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: and maybe it was Jared Kellenick who was at the plate. 252 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: He scorched one towards the left field gap, and I 253 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: was wearing my hat and I just picked it up 254 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: and threw it to the ground because I thought it 255 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: was going in the gap to clear the bases, and 256 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I just wasted my whole night. And 257 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: then from out of nowhere, Aaron Hicks like Superman full 258 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: extension to reel it in. But yes, I believe he 259 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: is still available. Let's go ahead and walk through the 260 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: standings for Major League Baseball right now as we approach 261 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: the fifty game mark. Yankees play their fiftieth game tonight. 262 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: They are thirty and nineteen. They are five games up 263 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: on the Blue Jays, Red Sox hanging in there at 264 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: five hundred at twenty six and twenty six, five and 265 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: a half back, raise seven back, and the Orioles have 266 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: been astonishingly bad. Look at that run differential negative ninety nine. 267 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: What has happened to them? They were supposed to be 268 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: one of the more exciting teams in baseball? What has 269 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: happened to them? Tigers thirty three and eighteen, they are 270 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: in first place. Somebody mentioned Tray Sweeney. We can take 271 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: a look at him in a second. I haven't looked 272 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: at his numbers in a while, but that's a good idea. 273 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: You got Guardians five games back. Twins been hot as 274 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: of late. They're five games back and Royals five games back. 275 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: Looks like you could have two or three playoff teams 276 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: out of the Central again, which bodes well for the 277 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: Yankees because they play well against the Central and then 278 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: the American League West. Now the Mariners in first place. 279 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: Last year, they got off to a good start, maybe 280 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: a year before, and then they collapsed I think it 281 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 1: was last year, and the Astros hanging in there two 282 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: and a half back. There's been some talk that the 283 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 1: Astros could trade Framber Valdez. I'm not sure that they 284 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: would trade him to the Yankees, so you know, we'll 285 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: see if he gets moved. Phillies thirty two and eighteen. 286 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: They lead the Mets in the NLST now by two games. 287 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: Mets now have a worst record than the Yankees. Wah 288 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: wah wah Braves seven and a half back. They got 289 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: off to that horrible start. They've played pretty well since then. 290 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: Nationals nine games back. They have a couple of players 291 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: I think could get unloaded. Marlins nineteen and twenty nine. 292 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll trade you to anybody who makes money. 293 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: The National League Central Cubs out in front by ten games. 294 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: Actually they're up by three games, but they have their 295 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: ten games over five hundred at thirty and twenty, Cardinals 296 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: three games back, Reds Brewers and the Pirates way back 297 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: at seventeen and thirty four, thirteen and a half back, 298 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: and then the Dodgers hanging in there in the NLS 299 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: at thirty one and nineteen. You know what, guys, they 300 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: only have a half game lead on the Yankees. That's 301 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: where the Dodgers are at. They've had so many pitching injuries. 302 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: You know who's been fantastic though, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Go look 303 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: at his numbers. He has been ridiculous, ridiculous. But you know, 304 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: Roki Sazaki got hurt, Blake Snell got hurt. I think 305 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: Tyler Glass now has had some injury issues. I mean, 306 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: this team is constantly getting hurt. Giants twenty nine and 307 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: twenty one, two games back, Padres three games back. My 308 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: dream scenario is a Dodgers missed the playoffs. That would 309 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: be amazing. D Backs twenty six and twenty four, five 310 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: games back, and then the Rockies are already twenty three 311 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: games back at eight and forty two. That is hard 312 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: to fathom. Let's take a look at Trey Sweeney because 313 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: he was somebody that I always liked as a prospect. 314 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: I thought that he would be a good third baseman. 315 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: The last I saw the Tigers were playing him at shortstop. Still, 316 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: So he is hitting two thirty nine with a three 317 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: zero three on base percentage and a six forty nine OPS. 318 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: Not that great. Four home runs. It's like the bat 319 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: speed is good, fielding not so great. His speed is good, 320 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: he's got long stride. He's sixty three two twelve, But 321 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: I mean he's got some serious pop. Take a look 322 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: at one of his home runs here. That's what I 323 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: love about this site is you can just click on 324 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: a dot and turn it into a highlight. So here's 325 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: against Louis Castile and this looks like a down and 326 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: in pitch yep, and he golfs it and see where 327 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: it lands into the empty seats. Yeah. So Trey Sweeney, 328 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 1: you know, still trying to live up to his first 329 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: round status, but you know, could be doing a lot worse. 330 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, I will see after the 331 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: game tonight.
