1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: All right, and the Yankees were in Chicago trying to 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: make it six straight wins. Carlos Rodan back on the 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: mound where it all began. Myriecat your reactions coming up 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: next this pin strip territory. Tori wanted to talk at 5 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: all right, how's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Happy Labor 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Day weekend to you and yours. First of all, gotta 7 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: give a shout out to the White Sox tonight. Their 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: uniforms were kind of dope, but didn't help because the 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: Yankees kicked their ass once again. Six s great wins, 10 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: great combo in the booth tonight. By the way, the 11 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: chemistry is great between Girardi and Ruco. You know, Girardi 12 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: is turning into a damn good announcer. He is a 13 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: step ahead, his analysis is spot on, and Ruko's got 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: some of the best energy of anybody that we have 15 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: in that booth. So I love that combination tonight. So 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: good news. Yankees wanted to blow out. We also had 17 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: losses by the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Mariners, and Royals. 18 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: So the Yankees gain some ground, you do some damage, 19 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: and we are officially scoreboard watching. Now it is time 20 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: the Yankees are ahead now of the Red Sox in 21 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: the division and in the wildcard, obviously three and a 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: half back from the Blue Jays. Here is my dream 23 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: for the weekend. Blue Jays in Red Sox continue to 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: have a cold weekend. Yankees continue to beat up on 25 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: the White Sox. Create a little bit of separation between 26 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: yourselves and the Red Sox going into September, and put 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure on Toronto. Now the Yankees 28 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: are going to Houston. That is going to be a 29 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: fun series if the Yankees can manage to win some games. 30 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: Not gonna be easy. Houston's a good ball club, but 31 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna find out what this team 32 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: is made up. They've proven now that they can beat scrubs. 33 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, they handled the Nationals with ease. They have 34 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: thus far demolished the White Sox and consecutive games. They're 35 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: winning the games they have to win. They're beating the 36 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: teams that they have to beat. But the schedule is 37 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: about to get very very difficult. Let's get to the recap. 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: Let's get it go it so with three bat sorry 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: three back in the standings, the Yankees seventy five and 40 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: sixty Blue Jays seventy eight and fifty seven, so I 41 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: had to refresh the page. They didn't have the Yankees 42 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: win on there yet, but Red Sox three and a 43 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: half back, so double steel for the Yankees. In the 44 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: first inning with nobody out, Judge and Grisham. Yankees loaded 45 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: the bases with nobody out, but they only got one run. 46 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: Ben Rice bounced into a double play. You don't get 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: an RBI on that, but he did have an RBI 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: single in this game, and that's what you That's where 49 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: you want the home runs right with the bases loaded, 50 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: not you know, solo shots. 51 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: But to be. 52 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 1: Continued on that, Ryan McMahon made a really nice play 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: at third to end the second inning. It was a 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: slow roller. He had to charge, he had to pick, 55 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 1: he had to throw. Made it look a lot easier 56 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: than it was. If he learns how to hit, he's 57 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: going to be an extremely valuable player. Girardi was talking 58 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: about this at length during the broadcast. His exit velocity 59 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: when he makes contact is up there with Ben Rice. 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: It's like ninety three point eight miles an hour. It's 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: really really good. Problem is that he doesn't make enough contact. 62 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: So what I'd imagine the Yankees are going to do 63 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: is you know, get him on that traject machine. You know, 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure that he didn't have access to all the 65 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: best equipment and stuff in Colorado. They might have, you know, 66 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: some stuff, but they're not gonna have what the Yankees have, right, 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: So I would imagine that the Yankees are going to 68 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: get him on the traject They're gonna try and work 69 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: with him to eliminate any holes in his swing, Teach 70 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: him to swing at better pitches, and if you can 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: improve his contact rate by ten or fifteen percent, maybe 72 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: pick up you know, a few more home runs. Then 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: he becomes like a two forty guy with you know, 74 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: twenty five home runs. Maybe next year that would be 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: nice and great. D At third base, Yankees lucked out 76 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: in the bytom of the third inning. Runner on first 77 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: White Sox attempted to hit and run. I thought it 78 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: was gonna be the beginning of a rally when I 79 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: saw the way the guy reached out and just did 80 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: He executed the hit and run perfectly on offense. But 81 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: the base runner got hit by the ball, which means 82 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: he's out. So that that turned, you know, potentially first 83 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: and third went out into runner on first with two outs, 84 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: so that kind of stamped out a rally there, and 85 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: then the Yankees just pulled away top of the fourth. 86 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: They loaded the bases again, this time Trent Grisham. All 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: expenses paid, Complimentary beverage service included, no hidden fees, free 88 00:04:54,120 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: grand Mustache ride. He's a grand Grand Slam for Trent Grisham. 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: Home run number twenty eight. He is having an insane year. 90 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk more about him after we do the voicemails. 91 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna take another look at his stat cast and 92 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: so forth White Sox gotta run back in the fifth, 93 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: but Rodin worked out of a jam top six, jazz 94 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: walked and then stole second base. So he's got a 95 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five or sorry, twenty five twenty five season. 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: It'll be pretty cool if he gets a thirty thirty 97 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: despite missing all that time. That'll be fun. That'll be 98 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: something we remember, and it'll probably be good for his potential, 99 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: you know, contract extension. I think that's something the Yankees 100 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: are probably considering. I think they like him. He's got 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 1: some deity gregorious vibes in just like his energy. He 102 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: gets a little bit weird with like his throws and 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: stuff like, he'll he'll air mail balls from second base, 104 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: and you know he can have his mental lapses, but 105 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's a valuable player. Reason he's 106 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: got a bunch of belts this year. He's had a 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: lot of big hits too. But he seems like the 108 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: type of guy that if he gets close to thirty thirty, 109 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: I can see him getting stuck on twenty nine home runs, right, 110 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: He's that kind of he'll start trying to hit him, 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: and when he's trying to hit him, he doesn't hit him. 112 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: I remember Alfonso Soriano used to have the same problem. 113 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: He got stuck trying to go forty forty on thirty 114 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: nine home runs. For like the last couple of weeks 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: of the season. He was trying to get number forty. 116 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: He didn't get there, or he was trying to. I 117 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: mean he was the thirty eight I think he was 118 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: thirty nine, but he didn't quite get there. And then 119 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: he homered in the Alds that year. You know, as 120 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: soon as the pressure was off to try and get forty. 121 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: But anyway, Volpi knocked him in with a base hit 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: up the middle to get the run back. Wells and 123 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: Rice both tacked on RBIs, Rice becoming a very very 124 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: consistent hitter over the last several weeks, and then Volpi 125 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: finally perhaps heating back up with home run number nineteen, 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: probably gonna set a career high in home runs. Look, 127 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: I just want him to be more consistent as a 128 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: hitter and as a defender, and especially in big spots. 129 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: I don't care what you do against the White Sox 130 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: when it's already eight to one, I want to see 131 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: him get seven hits, three stolen bases, five RBIs in 132 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: this Astro series. I want to see him get hot 133 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: when it matters and help the Yankees win some games. 134 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: That's what we want from Volpi, and that will help 135 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: his confidence, helping the Yankees win in big spots. And 136 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: you know what, if you help the Yankees win two 137 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: out of three from the Astros, right and you have 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: a big series, maybe even all three. Let's not get 139 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: our hopes up, but are on a win streak and 140 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: those can be strange things, especially late in the season. 141 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: But if he gets hot and carries the Yankees a 142 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: little bit in this Astros series, then guess what his 143 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: confidence is gonna be high and he's gonna be getting 144 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: more praise from the fans when he steps into the 145 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: box and steps into shortstop in the biggest series of 146 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the year next weekend, when the Yankees take on the 147 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: Blue Jays. By the way, I want everybody who's here, 148 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: everybody who's watching this, to come back for those games. 149 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: For the post game. We're gonna have a ton of fun. 150 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and get some guests. I'm gonna just 151 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: see if we can get maybe Cratsy one of those days. 152 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna have Johnna on Tuesday, I think, or one 153 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: of these astros games from Babes Babes I'm gonna try 154 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: and get I'm gonna try and get some people for 155 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: the Toronto series. That'll be fun anyway. Volpie with the 156 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: home run. He had a good day, Wells had a 157 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: good day. Rodin was good. We'll talk about him in 158 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: a minute. Yankees closing in on eight players with twenty 159 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: home runs insane and guess what that is? Six in 160 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: a row for the first time this season. We're going 161 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: wow winning all right? We got a couple of super chats. 162 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: Xavier says good six game wins streak with a couple 163 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: of firem ojis. Sure, better than a six game losing streak, 164 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: and then n Xavier says, Trent Grisham needs to be 165 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: re signed for next season. He's gonna get a nice contract. 166 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: He's having a big year. He's he's having the proverbial 167 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: contract year. We've seen this from countless players over the 168 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: you know, millennia, I guess over the and he hasn't 169 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 1: been around for millennia, but I guess it's still applicable 170 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: in this millennia. 171 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: Uh. 172 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: They we have seen guys have huge contract years. I mean, 173 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: we saw it with Juan Soto last year. We've seen 174 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: it with a number of guys. A Rod, you know, 175 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: had a monster contract year in seven. You know, I 176 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: guess it was the opt out. He had an opt 177 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: out year, and he opted out during the World Series 178 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: that your remember was maybe it was Game four. But look, 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: he's having a monster ye. I don't think that they're 180 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: gonna re sign him. I think that there are cheaper 181 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: options available, But if Bellinger goes elsewhere, I could see 182 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: the Yankees pivoting to bring Grisham back. I don't expect 183 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: Grisham to sign until Bellinger signs, but anyways, time to 184 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: give out the Belts let's see you here, Trent Chris. 185 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: He hit a grand slam. You pretty much always get it, 186 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: and for Grisham, that is belt number seven. He ties 187 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin, tonight's starting pitcher, who had a very good night. 188 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, can someone please tell Camillo Dovall 189 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: how to pitch with an eight run lead. We don't 190 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: need to throw eight or nine pitches per batter at 191 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: that point. We all just want to get the game 192 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: over with. Throw it over the plate, let your defense 193 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 1: go to work. But anyway, good night for Grisham. All right, 194 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: So we got to talk about mister Carlos Rodin, who 195 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: made his return to the place where it began, Chicago. 196 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: He is your now league leader in wins with fifteen. 197 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: I had him down for eight strikeouts, didn't quite get there. 198 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: He got five. Whole life tonight was a type of 199 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: night where you would have definitely got a rant on 200 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 1: Rodin if he had sucked, because this is the White 201 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: Sox here and the Yankees offense was putting up runs, 202 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: so we really needed him to give us quality start, 203 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: give the bullpen a little bit of rest. Thankfully, he 204 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: did six innings, seven hits, one run, two walks, five strikeouts, 205 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: only had seven swings and misses, but I felt like 206 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: his best pitches came in his final couple of batters. 207 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Boone came out to the mound. He thought he 208 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,239 Speaker 1: was gonna yank him, but he gave Rodan the opportunity 209 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: to talk himself into it. Uh and Rodin was able 210 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: to do that. It's not the first time that has happened. 211 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: Usually he gives up the hit. So I was thinking, 212 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: oh man, he's gonna serve up a freaking meatball right here. 213 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: But he was able to throw some wicked pitches. I 214 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: even Girardi, I think, mentioned the best slider he'd thrown 215 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 1: all night. He also threw a really good change up, 216 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: but era down to three point one eight. The whip 217 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: is actually up a ticket was one point oh seven. 218 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: But he gave up again nine base runners in six innings, 219 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: so it ticks up a little bit. Ninety seven pitches, 220 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: fifty eight strikes, and once again he gets to win. 221 00:11:51,800 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: Nice performance fix all right, Kee voicemails here, all right, 222 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: this one is about Judge. 223 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, this is often so this call is about 224 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge his last thirty games up to this point, 225 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: still playing the game now, but his last three games 226 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: up to this point beat in one ninety eight. He's 227 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: got a seven to seventy ops, which means he's getting 228 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: his walks right, he's getting on base for guys to 229 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: drive him in. So I'd almost rather see Judge not 230 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: doing especially well and killing the ball right now. I'd 231 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: rather see him get hot, you know, toward the middle 232 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: around of September and take that into October or you know, 233 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: worst case scenario, It's not the end of the world. 234 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: If he just keeps on doing what he's doing, and 235 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 2: with the rest of the lineup, especially guys you know, 236 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: Rice Bellinger, Grisham, Jazz, you know, hitting the ball and 237 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,599 Speaker 2: driving him in, that wouldn't be the worst possible thing imaginable. 238 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: So I just wanted to throw that out there anyway. 239 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: Thanks. You don't want everybody hot at the same time, 240 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: because then everybody gets cold usually around the same time. 241 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: Judge can carry you when he's red hot, and right 242 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: now he's cold, and hopefully he gets hot during these 243 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: important games got coming up. He usually hits the ball 244 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: pretty well in Houston. He usually hits the ball pretty 245 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: well against Toronto. I mean, he's got really good numbers 246 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: against Kevin Gosman. I'm not sure how many home runs, 247 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 1: but I think that if he can have a good 248 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: home stand here Toronto and Detroit, you know, he can 249 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: make some headway on that MVP race. It's looking like 250 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: cal Rawley's the favorite right now, just the way that 251 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: the reports are talking about him. But you know, part 252 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: of that is because Judge has fallen off a little bit. 253 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: If Judge has a hot September, if Judge wins Player 254 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: of the Month for September, Let's say Judge hits three 255 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: forty with twelve home runs in September and the Yankees 256 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: win the division, it's a lock that Judge will win 257 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: the MVP. So let's hope that happens. Let's talk a 258 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: little bit about Trent Grisham. Here's Brian Man. 259 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: How great has Grisham been this year? 260 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: Talk about it here and there, but really. 261 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: He's just been awesome. 262 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: And what makes it kind of sink in a way 263 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 3: is he was on the team last year, sitting on 264 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 3: the bench during the World season, or excuse me, during 265 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: the World Series with the season on the line, while 266 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: Verdugo's out there playing thinking it up. Not even not 267 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: even on an MLB roster right now. Man, just incredible, 268 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 3: the mistake these guys make time and time again. 269 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: What yep. I mean, it's infuriating when you see what 270 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: he's doing and how little he was used last year. 271 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: But I mean you look at his numbers over his 272 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: career as a guy who hit twenty twenty three and 273 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: one ninety last year, I mean, he's definitely reinvented his 274 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: swing a little bit. The metrics are really good, but 275 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: he's having a career year. Twenty eight home runs, eight 276 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: thirty six ops, both career highs. He's got fifty seven RBIs. 277 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: He had sixty one several years ago with San Diego. 278 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: He's a two to nineteen career hitter even with this year. 279 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: But again, for his career, he has not been good, 280 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: but he's having a monster, monster contract year. Let's take 281 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: a look at his stat cast numbers, and we've talked 282 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: about this earlier in the week. He's in the eighty 283 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: eighth percentile of batting run value. The ex WOBE is good, 284 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: the exit velocity is good over ninety miles an hour. 285 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: He squares up the ball, he doesn't chase. He's he's 286 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: the best in the league. Not chasing out of the zone, 287 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: and when he does chase out of the zone, he 288 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: crushes it. You know, he hit that home run the 289 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: other day on a pitch that was a foot inside 290 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: down the right field line at Yankee Stadium. And he's 291 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: great at drawing walk So three point fifty five on 292 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: base percentage. He has filled that leadoff spot admirably. Now 293 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: it's cost you know, Domingos Summitt bats because you know, 294 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: when Judge can't play the outfield, you can't dh John, 295 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: you can't you have to put John Carlo out there. 296 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: You know, Judge is dhing and so that's you know, 297 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: you got to find a way to you know, maximize 298 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: your your your roster, and right now Trent Grisham is 299 00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: swinging them back to the point where you can't take 300 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: it out. So it's cost Domingos some of bats. But hey, 301 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: it is what it is. If you wanted to play, 302 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: you should have played better.
