Carlos Rodin on the mound and trying to 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 2: get back in the win column and trying to extend 6 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: the Yankees winning streak. I got Terrence Kim with me tonight. 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the game and go through 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: the state of the Yankees twenty games into the season. 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. 10 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: Just wanted to pull caps all. 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's get it going. All right, 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: how's it going everybody? Welcome back and welcome back to 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: Terrence cam TK out there in California. How you doing, 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: TK doing well? 15 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: Good to be back, Good to be back in the 16 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: States too. I was in Paris last we spoke. 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw the video of you watching Pinstripe Territory 18 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: in front of the Mona, Lisa, And as much as 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: I appreciate you supporting the show, that's a just obscene 20 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: thing to do. You're you're looking at one of the 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: greatest pieces of art ever made, and and you know, 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: the Mona Lisa is there too, so TK, I'll tell 23 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: you why I like having you on the show man, 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: because you know, other than you're a pretty knowledgeable Yankees fan. 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: Usually when I'm working on the postgame show and watching 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: the game, I'm like buried in work, I'm taking down notes, 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: I'm building the show. But when you're on, I'm confident 28 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: that we can do a quick thirty minutes without me 29 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: having to have a whole lot of notes because you're 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: pretty dialed into the game too. So I'm gonna start 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: off take a little break tonight and let you kind 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: of lead off things. What was your big takeaway tonight? 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, I'm I'm like your spot or something at 34 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 3: the gym. I gotta take oh yeah, some of them off. 35 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: But Carlos Rodon it was funny. It was one of 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 3: those things, man, where it was really hot in Tampa. 37 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: Is a nice night. They haven't really played in any 38 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: nice weather at all this year. But in the first inning, 39 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: he was having what seemed to be like a classic 40 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 3: Rodin unraveling inning, and I was like, oh, man, like, 41 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: are we gonna get nothing from him? Kind of like 42 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: what they got last night from wil Warren. They got 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: absolutely nothing, and you really didn't want to ask the 44 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 3: bullpen to get that many outs. But to his credit, 45 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: he really dialed it in. Had probably his best start 46 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: all year that he's had so far. And that's I 47 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: think what we've seen from college Rodonn and is Yankees 48 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: career is he's either what he was tonight, absolutely shoves 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: and he's lights out, or he walks a couple guys, 50 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: gives up a big home run and then he unravels 51 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 3: and the game totally gets away from him. So really 52 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: good stuff from him. I think his velo has been 53 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: the best it's been all year as well. He was 54 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: consistently ninety seven ninety eight tonight. I know that it 55 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: was warm down in Tampa, but I think Derek that 56 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: might be the hardest I've seen him really kind of 57 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: sit with his fastball so far in his Yankee career. 58 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: I haven't really seen him get up there in Vello 59 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 3: and it looked really good. A couple of wild pitches 60 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 3: with the change up was they were talking about this 61 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 3: on the broadcast, but the sweat, he's kind of a 62 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: sweaty mess when he's out there. Uh, And it looks 63 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: like they improved of the jerseys because last year that 64 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 3: jersey would have been like a dark sharp pillory by 65 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 3: the third inning. But uh, there was even a moment, Derek, 66 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: if you saw where the umpire was like, you gotta 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: wipe your hand or I think they were saying that 68 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 3: the sweat mixed with the Rosin was getting a little 69 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: bit of a sticky thing, and he was saying, I 70 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: can't grip the ball. So I don't really know what 71 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: was going on there, but I was kind of like, 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 3: is this like a sticky stuff situation? But it ended 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 3: up being fine, and then he threw a wild change 74 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 3: up because the ball slipped out of his hand. 75 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 2: Out. Yeah, it was pretty clear that he was struggling 76 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: with his perspiration the ball. I mean, he had a 77 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: couple of you know, hit the mascot moments, but overall, 78 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: I think he deserves some hardware. What do you say, TK, Oh, yeah, no, there. 79 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: It is Carlos Fadan That is first of the year. 80 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: I think it is no, that's his second. That's his 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: second of the year, Belt of the Year. As we 82 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: go through the belt leaderboard here, Judge has three, Rodin 83 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: has two, and then Grisham, jazz As Cabrera, Max Fried 84 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: Will Warren, Carlos Carrasco, Jason Dominguez and Ben Rice all 85 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: have one but really solid performance. Can't complain about six 86 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: shutout innings. And this is not one of those nights 87 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: where it's a really intensive recap. I mean, we had 88 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: Trent Grisham with the RBI single. He continues to hit 89 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: really well. Volpi didn't hit at all, but he flashed 90 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 2: the leather today, you know, obviously working on another gold glove. 91 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: You know, he had a play going to his right 92 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 2: where he got it and made a throw across the 93 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: diamond that lost a little bit of steam, but Goldie 94 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: picked it. Goldie had a good night on defense too, 95 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: and then there was that relay from center field from 96 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: Grisham to Volpi to Cabrera that was just a phenomenal, 97 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: phenomenal play. And then Goldie had a great day. He 98 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 2: deserves a little bit of an honorable mention. Three for four, 99 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: he's hitting three seventy three. Now, great job by our bullpen. 100 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 2: Mark Leier did a nice job. You were on it 101 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: with Fernando Cruz. I mean, the guy has dialed in 102 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: like he had a little bit of a rockie, a 103 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: rocky start with the Yankees. But the last couple of times, 104 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 2: out man, he has been disgusting, disgusting, and then we 105 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: gotta give it up to our boy Luke Weaver, and 106 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: I think we forgot to play the most important thing 107 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: of the night. Yankees win game over, Yankees win yank 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: all right, TK, So here's what we're gonna do. We're 109 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: gonna talk a little bit about the takeaways from the 110 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: first twenty games. It's actually kind of good that this 111 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 2: wasn't like an exhaustive recap. It's nice, nice and neat 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 2: victory won nothing and that's four wins in a row, 113 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: so I guess we should mentioned it's a winning streak there. 114 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: It is, Wow, winning, what do you say? But we're 115 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: gonna talk about the state of the team twenty games 116 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: in first of all, these are the times we're going 117 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: to basically run down. But feel free to drop your 118 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: comments in the chat and we will get to him. 119 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: So Ben Rice emerging as a legitimate dominant hitter right now, 120 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: I think is a major story. And that's the number 121 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: one storyline so far for me. He got robbed of 122 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 2: a home run tonight, Martian. He has you know, been 123 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: up and down statistically, he said, some good games, some 124 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: bad games, but his defense has improved drastically and he's 125 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: had some really good games offensively. I think he's going 126 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: to have a nice summer. The rotation obviously, you know, 127 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: Stroman was terrible. You saw the rant. You don't need 128 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: to talk about Stroman. He's throwing again. They announced it 129 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 2: today that he started playing catch, and I retweeted it 130 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: and I says it too soon to tell him to stop. 131 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: You know. Will Warren, you know, obviously didn't get out 132 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 2: of the second ending yesterday, but he had a good 133 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: start before that. Rodin we just talked about up and 134 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: down this year, but when he's on, man, he is on, 135 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: and Max Freed has been nothing short of tremendous. We'll 136 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: talk about the Judge Revenge tour. I think he's working 137 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: on another MVP. We'll talk a little bit about Volti 138 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 2: and Jazz, kind of like you know how that double 139 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: play combination's working a little bit about their offense. Neither 140 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: one of those guys putting up huge offensive numbers after 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: really hot starts. Belly and Goldie plan b I guess plan, 142 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: but he also includes Free so we can lump him 143 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: in and then Devin Williams, who got the night off. 144 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: So let's begin with Ben Rice. Let me get your 145 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: thoughts on Ben Rice. Tk. 146 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: He has been uh. I was talking a little bit 147 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 3: with my dad about this, but he has been more 148 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: than a pleasant surprise. He is totally kind of emerged 149 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: as a legitimate major league bat. I think it's gonna 150 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: be fascinating when they get Stanton back off the il 151 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: how they decide to handle that, because if you you know, Derek, 152 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: you've brought up the the Baseball Savant numbers quite a lot, 153 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: all the deep analytics, all the projectiles and all that, 154 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: and I mean the guy the percentiles. Excuse me, the 155 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: guy is in the red everywhere. He looks if you 156 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 3: if you blanked out out his name and you just 157 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: got the Savant page up there, he looks like, you know, 158 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: a Kyle Tucker or a Corbyn Carroll or somebody like that. 159 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 3: I don't know how the Yankees are gonna handle it 160 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: when Stanton gets back. You know you can say that, 161 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: oh they'll I guess they'll platoon sort of sit like 162 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: they'll put Stanton against lefties and right But if he 163 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: continues to hit like this, you cannot cannot take his 164 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 3: bat out of the lineup. You just can't. I don't 165 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 3: know how. You look at the fan base and you 166 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: just tell you tell Yankee fans who are honestly who 167 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: know their baseball, like, oh no, we're gonna go with 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 3: with Stanton because he makes significantly more money. And look, 169 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 3: I gave him his flowers. He's always a playoff performer. 170 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: And I love Stanton and he's had awesome moments. But 171 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 3: you just can't deny what Ben Rice is doing right 172 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: now for this team. The guy just rakes. But I 173 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: think Aaron Boone's quote about why he was batting him 174 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: lead off, I think and they were like, why are 175 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: you batting him lee off? He goes, he rakes. 176 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 2: Period because he's freaking rakes. That's exactly how he's because 177 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 2: he freaking rakes. Yeah. I mean, I'm loving what we're 178 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: seeing from him. He has great at bats too. I 179 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: asked Todd Frazier today he was doing the broadcast tonight, 180 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: but he was also on Foul Territory today and we 181 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 2: were the first two people in the production meeting this morning, 182 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: and I said, Todd, as somebody who's around major league 183 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: hitters and understands major league approaches, at the plate is 184 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: what Ben Rice is doing for real? And he said, 185 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 2: I'll say what, he has a really short path to 186 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 2: the ball, Like it's a really short swing and that's 187 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: a good thing. And you know, even some of the outs, 188 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 2: like he cranked one to center field that got caught, 189 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: he got robbed of the home run. Like everything he 190 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: hits he destroys. That's to me, been the biggest biggest 191 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: thing this season. He's basically been Juan Soto. I mean, 192 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: you hate to say that. He's he's basically been budget 193 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 2: Juan Soto. It's like, why didn't we resign Jan Soto. 194 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 2: Cash's like, well, we got Wan Soto at home. Ben Rice. 195 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 3: That's why he's wearing the number they gave me. 196 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 2: Maybe it's you know, maybe it's not the Indian, it's 197 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 2: the arrow. It's number twenty two on his back. That's call. 198 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 2: You know it helped Cano. But uh, Marton, what are 199 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: your thoughts on Jason so far? Because obviously the defense 200 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: was the biggest worry. I think he's been fine out there. 201 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: I can think of one or two plays where he 202 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: didn't look great, but he's made the catch. He's had 203 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 2: a couple of snow cones, there was one that kind 204 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: of hopped and you know, he didn't feel it great. 205 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: But the last few nights especially, I think he's made 206 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: some tough plays. There was one a couple nights ago 207 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: had a thirty three percent catch probability and he made 208 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: the catch. I think the arm looks really good and 209 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: really accurate. He's playing with a lot of confidence. I think, oh, yeah, 210 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: he uh. 211 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: I'm really liking what I'm seeing from him. And I 212 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 3: think the more that I watched the games, the more 213 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 3: that he's out there, and the more like confident I 214 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: feel with him out there. I think at the beginning 215 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: of the season you kind of hold your breath anytime 216 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 3: ball was hit out to him out there. But he's 217 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: made a few really nice plays. The one that comes 218 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: to mind specifically Derek was the one that he's like 219 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 3: leaping kind of like going back like he jumped out. Yeah, 220 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 3: that was a great play, and I think that you 221 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: can see it. His confidence is really kind of growing. 222 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: And I think the Yankees have kind of handled this 223 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: perfectly because I think Kay had mentioned this on the broadcast, 224 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 3: But you wanted to avoid like a Gary Sanchez kind 225 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: of situation where you kind of crossed up his defense 226 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: so much that it started to affect the offense. And 227 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: this is a player, a young player with really special tools, 228 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: and he's an athlete. Derek, I think he's gonna pick 229 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 3: it up quickly. It's just like a matter of time 230 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 3: and it's just a matter of reps. You would like 231 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: to see a little bit more from the right side, 232 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: but I think again he's kind of coming along pretty nicely. 233 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: But I think Derek. The best quality, and I think 234 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 3: you've mentioned this before about Jason is his ability to 235 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: learn quickly and his ability to develop very quickly, which 236 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 3: is a great quality to have, especially for a young player, 237 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: and that's not something that guys have, like sometimes it 238 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 3: takes a guy quite a while to develop or there 239 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 3: a late Bloomert. And I mean for him, it really 240 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: feels like in the twenty games, he almost feels like 241 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 3: a different player from Game one to Game twenty. Now 242 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 3: where we are now, I feel a lot more comfortable 243 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: with him out and left. I think they probably look 244 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 3: at him being the permanent left fielder going forward. I 245 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 3: don't know if they want to put him back in 246 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 3: center eventually, but later in his career. I guess we'll see. 247 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 3: But right now I'm really liking what I'm seeing there. 248 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, rotation. I mean, this is where it gets a 249 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 2: little bit ugly. I mean Rodin obviously had a good 250 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: night tonight, but he's been kind of inconsistent, and I 251 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 2: still don't trust him in a big game. He's too 252 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: home run prone. Threw the ball well tonight. You know, 253 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 2: we'll give him his do. Max Freed has been worth 254 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: every penny so far, but I have very very little 255 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: faith in Will Warren. I have very very little faith 256 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: in Carlos Carrasco. Even if they pitch well, Like, that's 257 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 2: a nice surprise, right. It's like if you stop by 258 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: a restaurant because you're starving and it just looks gross, 259 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 2: and then you have something and oh it's pretty good. 260 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: You know that. That's kind of how I feel when 261 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: those guys throw a good game. Hopefully Louis Heo comes 262 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: back strong. But they had to push him back ten 263 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: days in his rehab, which is not typically a good sign. 264 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 2: Means he's healing a little bit slower than they expect it. So, 265 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: I mean, where are you right now with the rotation? 266 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 2: How are you feeling about it? Do you think that 267 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: there's I mean any chance that we get al Contra, 268 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I think we'd have to give up some 269 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: We'd have to give up Lombard, and I don't think 270 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 2: Yankees want to do that. 271 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: I don't see al contra or honestly, it's spelled all Kantara. 272 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: I don't know why it's all. 273 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: It's yeah, but it's pronounced al Contra. I was I 274 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 2: got that wrong a bunch of times too. 275 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: But okay, the guy named Sandy down in Miami, I 276 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 3: don't know. He's a great pitcher. He's been kind of 277 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: injury pro the last couple of years, but I don't 278 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 3: think that they're going to get him, and I think 279 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 3: that there is going to be a I don't think 280 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 3: the Yankees even have the assets to give up to 281 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 3: get a Sandy al Contra. George Lombard would have to 282 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 3: be the conversation starter. And I'm not about to trade 283 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: George Lombard Junior when he's probably going to be the 284 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: starting third basement next year and I feel pretty confident 285 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: about that. So I am not interested just for that. 286 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 3: Am I interested? Yes, he's a great pitcher, but I'm 287 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 3: not interested in giving up what it would mean to 288 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: give up in order to acquire him with the pitching. 289 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 3: I'm kind of like survive until he gets back. I 290 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 3: don't know what he's going to look like when he 291 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 3: gets back. I'm not super concerned about the ten day delay, 292 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: just because I think they're being ultra careful with him, 293 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 3: because the starting pitching rotation right now is in a 294 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 3: fragile situation and I don't think they want any setbacks 295 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 3: with him, so they'd rather play it conservatively. And that's fine. 296 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: But you know, you got Clark Schmidt back and that's 297 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 3: going to be helpful. You hope that will Will Warren 298 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 3: kind of continues to develop and Cookie can kind of 299 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 3: give you a nice solid start here and there. But 300 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 3: that's asking a lot obviously. Marcus Stroman, he got sent 301 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: to the Sun. I put him on the Son Derek. 302 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: He's on the Sun now, so that's it. But I 303 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: that's all you can really hope for. I told you this, 304 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: Derek before the season started. I remember I had a 305 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: pretty nice prediction. I said, I think we should get 306 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 3: Jazz chism Junior. They get Jazz chishm Junior, and he 307 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: seems to be like a great fit. He's not playing 308 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: so well right now, but we'll get to that, I said, 309 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 3: my prediction for this year if they get a starting 310 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: pitcher at the deadline is a Louis Severino reunion, which 311 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: is what I was I was sort of seeing that mind, like, 312 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 3: I think a three year deal in Oakland for about 313 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: twenty two a year. Sorry, Sacramento, but they. 314 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: Don't even like to be called that. 315 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: They're just they the athletics or whatever the hell they are. 316 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: But I would see that as a potential fit. He's 317 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 3: obviously pushed in New York and Derek you remember this 318 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: in like the twenty seventeen kind of era. The guy 319 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: is absolutely electric when he's on in the playoffs, especially, 320 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: He's like screaming out there and stuff. It's like exactly 321 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 3: what you want to see. The guy is so amped 322 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 3: up all the time. And I think that he's kind 323 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: of learned how to pitch more as an older pitcher 324 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 3: now that he's been in the league a few years. 325 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 3: So I definitely think that's more of a name I 326 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: would be interested in. I think it would cost a 327 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: lot less than getting a Sandy al Contra myself, and 328 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 3: I think that's probably a pretty good fit. I don't 329 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 3: know what the A's would ask for in return, but 330 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: or if they're even going to be in it or 331 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 3: selling or whatever. But I could see that as a fit. 332 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I one hundred percent agree. I think that's a 333 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: great idea. We got to comment here. Barry the Chopper 334 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: says thoughts on Pablo Reyes, I think he's probably gonna 335 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 2: get cut as soon as they bring back DJ Lomayhew 336 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 2: and DJ lo Mayhew will occupy that spot on the 337 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: bench and keep it warm and be an emergency fifteen 338 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: million dollars a year guy. I think the Yankees are 339 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: gonna have a couple of guys who are making a 340 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: lot of money that are not going to be getting 341 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: as much playing time as people think. You know, I 342 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: heard Brian Cash or sorry Brian Michael Kay today on 343 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 2: his show saying, well, the Yankees aren't going to just 344 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 2: make John Carlos Stinton versus Lefty's only DH And I 345 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: say not so fast, because I mean, he let's let's 346 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: let's not forget he's a diminished version of himself right 347 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: now with the elbows and with the hamstring. So I 348 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: could see it happening. I could see them being like, 349 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: look if June, let's say June tenth rolls around. That's 350 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 2: about when they're expecting him back, and we're gonna say 351 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: they're gonna slow walk it because Rice is killing the ball. 352 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 2: Let's say June tenth rolls around, Rice is hitting, and 353 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: let's say he regresses a little bit to the mean, 354 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: Let's say he's hitting two eighty with let's say ten 355 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: home runs. You cannot take him out of the lineup. 356 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 2: I think you would have to split time at DH 357 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: between those two. Aaron Judge, I think we got to 358 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 2: give some time to the captain here. The man is 359 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 2: having an unbelievable year. Again, he didn't have such a 360 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 2: hot night tonight, but I mean, you're not gonna get 361 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 2: three hits every night. I'm gonna pull up his stats 362 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 2: real quick and we could take a look at him, 363 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: because I mean, he's just having another monster year. Stand 364 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: by we. 365 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 3: Rose and MLB the show player. 366 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, five hundred on base percentage Terrence, seven home runs 367 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: and twenty two RBIs in twenty games. He's on pace 368 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: for over one hundred and sixty two RBIs. Uh this season, 369 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 2: you know, because averaging more than one a game, and 370 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 2: that's that's just bonkers, bonkers numbers for Aaron Judge, I mean, 371 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 2: I'm gonna if Okay, I'm gonna put you on the spot. Okay, 372 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 2: you gotta clip the wire or it blows up. We're 373 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 2: a triple Crown, yes or no? You know, you clip 374 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: the green wire for yes, the red wire for no. 375 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 2: Which one you clip it. 376 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: I'm saying triple crown, yes. 377 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and agree with you. I 378 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: think he's gonna do it this year, and I think 379 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: he's gonna I still think he's gonna make a run 380 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: at seventy two because like he's he hasn't really even 381 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: started hitting home runs again after that initial onslaught. It's 382 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: gonna happen. We've seen him hit fifteen in a month, 383 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: and once Bellinger starts hitting, you know, we get a 384 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 2: little bit more pop in the middle of the lineup. 385 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 2: You know, maybe Stanton comes back. I think that they're 386 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: gonna have to pitch to him more. 387 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, Derek, I'd say, the only 388 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: like player in the American League that's like a legitimate 389 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: threat to the Triple Crown or the only other player 390 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 3: in the American League that's like a threat, I guess 391 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 3: to win MVP's Bobby with Junior and that's the only 392 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 3: guy in the American League that I can really think of. 393 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think that even that that fly ball 394 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 3: he hit the center, I thought that was gone when 395 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 3: he first off, I thought that was way out. And 396 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,360 Speaker 3: then I think the. 397 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: Wind was blowing in. Yeah, wind was blown in today. 398 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 2: So for all of the you know, talk about this 399 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: being a launching pad, the last two nights, I feel 400 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: like the wind has kind of played some tricks. You know, 401 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 2: last night you saw guys drifting. Tonight you just saw 402 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: some balls get flat out creamed. I thought a Rice 403 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: ball was going, you know, ten feet further than it did. 404 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: So speaking of Rice, we did get a comment a 405 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: super Chat that I want to address. Somebody says, what 406 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: about Rice at third base? I don't think the Yankees 407 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: would do that, and I you know, I've mentioned that 408 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: maybe he should take some reps over there, but I 409 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: just don't think it's realistic. You don't want to weaken 410 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 2: the defense that much. I I just think the spot 411 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: for him right now is d h and and the 412 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 2: fact that John Carlos Danton's coming back. I mean, sorry, sorry, 413 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 2: you got hurt. You know, We're gonna talk a little 414 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: bit about Volpi and Jazz. Next, I got we got 415 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: a lot of comments here about Volpi in the in 416 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,400 Speaker 2: the chat, but first I gotta give a quick play 417 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 2: of our sponsor. This time, we're gonna do it on time. 418 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna play the Nutrifil ad and then 419 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: Terrence and I will be back and we're gonna talk 420 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: about Volpi and Jazz. We're gonna talk about Belly and 421 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: Goldie and you know Plan B and unfortunately, how Soto 422 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: is doing with the Mets, although the Mets I think 423 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: just walked off tonight. So and then we'll touch on 424 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 2: Devin Williams and the bullpen and then we'll wrap it up. 425 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: But quick word from the guys at foul Territory back 426 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 2: in about sixty seconds, your hair is. 427 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: So much more than what you see when you look 428 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: in the mirror.

Okay, so Volpi. I want to get your 448 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: thoughts on Volpi. But just my quick thoughts are obviously 449 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: outstanding defender, and I think he's probably the best shortstop 450 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 2: other than uh maybe Bobby Witt defensively in the American League, 451 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: but his offense worries me. I've been telling you, and 452 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: I've been telling my audience. I think he's taken the 453 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: wrong approach, and I think that pitchers can beat his approach. 454 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: You and I have discussed the player archetypes. I'd love 455 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: for you to dive a little bit more into that. 456 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: I communicated the other day that I felt like his 457 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 2: archetype was more like Dustin Pedroia, which is something we've 458 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 2: talked about, so you know, maybe you can explain it 459 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: a little bit better than I can. Oh. 460 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: No, He's definitely the player that he was Derek at 461 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 3: the beginning of last year. Is the player that I 462 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: think the Yankees are hoping for him to become and 463 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: for him to be. And it just seems like I 464 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 3: think that his rookie year, he hit how many homes 465 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,640 Speaker 3: did he hit his rookie year, but. 466 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: He hit went a few. 467 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 3: He hit twenty one home runs as a rookie, and 468 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: I feel like that kind of maybe got in his 469 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 3: head a little bit because it's like a considerable amount 470 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 3: for a player of his stature, if you will. But 471 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: he's a guy that's got to be going gap to gap. 472 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 3: He's got to be you know, doubles, doubles and walks. 473 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: Machine is what I want from Anthony BOLTI and because 474 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 3: he's he's got speed. If he was doing that at consistently, 475 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 3: you could theoretically lead him off. But if he's going 476 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 3: to be a doubles machine with speed, you can put 477 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: him in the middle of the lineup, in the seven hole, 478 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: in the five hole, wherever he's at six hole. But 479 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 3: with him, it's frustrating, man, because right now he's like, 480 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 3: he's like an Alton Simmons. Does that? Do you remember 481 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 3: Derek and elite glove elite glove with Atlanta for years, 482 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: I think with Anaheim for a little bit. 483 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: And Brian Cashman always wanted Alton san always wanted. 484 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 3: Him always, so he was an elite glove with Atlanta 485 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: and Anaheim for those of you don't remember. But the 486 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: guy just couldn't really hit. He was consistently like a 487 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 3: nine hole hitter for basically his entire career. But man, 488 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 3: could he pick it at short and volpi two sparked 489 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: or plays tonight? Especially throwing the guy out at third. 490 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: I mean that was huge that that might have saved 491 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: them from going into extras or losing the game right there. 492 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: But his approach is frustrating and he is sort of 493 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 3: I guess streaky, and I think with him, fans have 494 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 3: this kind of preconceived notion of he was going to 495 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 3: be the next Derek Jeter, not because of the player 496 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 3: that he was in high school or the player that 497 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: he was in the minor leagues, but just because of 498 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 3: the grew up in New Jersey as a Yankee fan, 499 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 3: idolizing Derek Jeter and that kind of whole thing. And 500 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 3: I think that and then also the Yankees kind of 501 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 3: raised the stakes on his expectation when they said no 502 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 3: to Louis Castillo for trading him to Cincinnati, and that 503 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: really kind of raised the stakes even more of this 504 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 3: guy better pan out. 505 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: Basically, am I imagining this or did Oakland want him 506 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: for matt Olsen? Also, I feel like I. 507 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 3: Remember hearing something there were multiple teams that wanted him 508 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: for a significant return, that the Yankees would have gotten 509 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: a matt Olsen, a Louis Castillo, anybody like that. And 510 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: the fact that the Yankees were basically saying no, this 511 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: is the shortstop of the future, I think in a 512 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 3: lot of fans' minds. Adding the whole kind of hometown 513 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: grew up a fan element Derek. I think that just 514 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 3: kind of kind of snowballed into this guy better become 515 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: the next Jeter. And there's not a lot of guys 516 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 3: that are Derek Jeter. There just aren't. And it's not 517 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: that he is a bad player. He's an elite defender, 518 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: but his offense is I think you would like to 519 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 3: see more than you have. I don't know if you 520 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 3: ever will see more. Maybe this is what he is is. 521 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 3: Maybe he is a two twenty two, thirty fifteen home 522 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 3: run guy with elite defense. I hope not. I feel 523 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 3: like I've seen stretches of him Derek in the pros, 524 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 3: like in the majors, going back to last year at 525 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: the beginning of the year, where he has been a 526 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 3: really solid bat, But you just don't. You don't see 527 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 3: that enough for me to feel confident that that's who 528 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 3: he is. 529 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull up Corey seeger. This is somebody that 530 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: the Yankees passed on because they had Volpi coming up. 531 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: So since signing with Texas, he has averaged twenty five 532 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: home runs and sixty five RBIs per season. He hit 533 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 2: two forty five his first year, but then three twenty seven, 534 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: two seventy eight and three zero six. And if I'm 535 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 2: not mistaken. He was the World Series MVP in twenty 536 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: twenty three, so huge, Yeah against the d Backs. Yeah 537 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: I do remember that. Yeah, yeah, so good player. Jazz 538 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: appealed his suspension. What are your thoughts on Jazz. I 539 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 2: feel like he's he's a fun player, but he's he's 540 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 2: almost I saw a description one time, all trim and 541 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: no stash, you know, or a yeah something like that, 542 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 2: Like it was something like that where it's like, you know, 543 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: not really a cowboy, but you know, looks the part. 544 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: He's a he's a flashy player. Old school guys would 545 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: call him a hot dog, you know. I think he's fun. 546 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: I like him. I think he's a solid defender. I 547 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 2: love his arm I love his athleticism. I want him 548 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: also to get away from the home run or nothing approach, 549 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 2: because I think there's a lot more in there as 550 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 2: a player. I'd be satisfied if he hit less home 551 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: runs and hit more doubles and triples and used his 552 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: speed and was just a more exciting, distracting player. 553 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. I think the word you were looking for probably 554 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 3: is like a past like Vulpi and Jazz both pest 555 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 3: up the middle, like especially offensively, but Jazz is. I 556 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: love Jazz. Jazz is my guy. I remember watching Jazz. 557 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 3: I was living in Miami once summer, going to Marlin's game, 558 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 3: watching Jazz, watching him come up, and then him being 559 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 3: randomly the cover of the MLB The Show game one 560 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: year with the Marlins. But he Yeah, he is a 561 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 3: little frustrating just because he is kind of that all 562 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: or nothing approach. It's not that he doesn't have the power, 563 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: but I think that he doesn't really need to go 564 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 3: all or nothing for him to get it out, Especially 565 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: in Yankee Stadium with the short porch, I think he 566 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 3: can probably have a couple of wall scrapers that go out. 567 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 3: But yeah, he's a flashy guy, and I think that 568 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: for the Yankee traditionalist it's like very much the opposite 569 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: of what they have seen in their lives as fans. 570 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: You know, He's got like the the anime elbow guard 571 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: that's like yellow and red and the green belt, and 572 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 3: it's like a little out there. But I'm cool with it, man. 573 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I think the Yankees kind of needed a 574 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 3: little bit of that kind of swag, if you will. 575 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 3: Last year especially, I think they needed a little bit 576 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 3: of that kind of in their clubhouse. An irritant, if 577 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 3: you will. I think every team kind of needs their irritants, 578 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: and they try it with Josh Johnson, but he's like 579 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 3: kind of get off my lawn a little bit kind 580 00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 3: of guy, and he's just kind of annoying. I think 581 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 3: I think the players like Jazz a lot more because 582 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 3: he's funny. 583 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: Let me, this is an interesting comment. This is from 584 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 2: Yankees fourth the Way, and he says, I don't care 585 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: for Jazz, as Dicky v One said, he's all airport team, 586 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: which means he looks good walking to the airport, but 587 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 2: once he got on the basketball court, he couldn't play 588 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: a lick. Yikes. That's a tough one, but that's pretty funny, 589 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: Dicky v One of a kind. Yeah, Jazz, obviously we 590 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 2: want more production out of him, but I do think 591 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: that up the middle, we've got a really solid defensive 592 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: squad right now, from Catcher straight on through the center field. 593 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Plan B, which was Max Fried, Belly 594 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: and Goldie right now, I think it's working better than 595 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: Plan A, which would have been to re sign one. 596 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: So do I think the team is deeper and even 597 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: though Belly hasn't gotten going yet offensively, I mean, we 598 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: saw the catch the other night. There's no way jan 599 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: So to catches that. He's had some big moments. He 600 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 2: had that big four hundred and fifty one foot home 601 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: run in the second game of the season. I think 602 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: once he kind of it's back on track, We're going 603 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: to see a lot more of that. He's still got 604 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 2: the pop in his bat and Goldie, I mean, the 605 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: guy's hitting what three seventy three now. I mean, he's 606 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: not hitting for a lot of power, but he's doing 607 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 2: exactly what I want him to do, which is create 608 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: base runners, hit line drives, move runners, get runners in. 609 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 2: I think he's going to drive in a lot of 610 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 2: runs TK because he's gonna come up in those situations 611 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 2: with guys on third less than two outs, and unlike 612 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 2: the guys in the past, like Luke Voight, who are 613 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 2: just trying to match the ball out of the ballpark 614 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 2: in that situation, he's content to hit the ball on 615 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 2: the right side or get the run in with a 616 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: fly ball or whatever. I love Goldie as a player. 617 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 2: I admit that I didn't consider him strongly enough because 618 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: I just looked at the numbers last year as a whole. 619 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 2: I didn't really consider the splits as much. I made 620 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: the mistake they were talking about on the broadcast where 621 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,239 Speaker 2: you look at a guy who's numbers went down and 622 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 2: you say, well, he's thirty seven, what do you expect? 623 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 2: And so I wasn't thinking that it would get better, 624 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 2: but it has. 625 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've I've been really pleased obvious upgrade over and 626 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: he Riza at first. It's just plain and simple, is 627 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: no arguing it. I think it's a good veteran presence 628 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 3: to have again in the clubhouse. He's a guy who's 629 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 3: won an MVP, He's been a really good player his 630 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 3: entire career. He's been around the game for a long time. 631 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: And I'll just point I'll just highlight this play, Derek, 632 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 3: the play tonight with the where he got the guy 633 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 3: at third on a Rundown's you kind of charge, that's 634 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 3: just a veteran baseball IQ play right there, heads up, 635 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 3: play right there, huge out at third to get the 636 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: second out there of the inning. And then I think 637 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 3: the guy ended up at second, but like now you're 638 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 3: an out of way right instead of having a guy 639 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 3: right at third. So that kind of stuff is just 640 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 3: something that's a little bit of like an intangible. It's 641 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 3: something that the analytics won't show you, just those little 642 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: plays here and there, which has been big. And yeah, 643 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 3: his bat, you can't ask for much better from him. 644 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 3: I guess I will a little bit. I'd like to 645 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 3: see a little bit more power, but I'm very pleased 646 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: with what I'm seeing so far. I think the home 647 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: rooms will come. I think twenty home runs from him 648 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 3: this season is very doable. If he gets hot, I 649 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 3: think that is very doable. And yeah, and he's been 650 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 3: great at first defensively, a couple of nice scoops tonight, 651 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: a couple of nights ago as well. And I mean personally, 652 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 3: they've let him off a couple of times. I don't 653 00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 3: hate it because he gets on base a lot, because 654 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 3: he's hitting really well right now. But I like him 655 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 3: a lot in like the five hole there with some 656 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,719 Speaker 3: traffic on the basis, Like like he kind of, like 657 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 3: you know, like you said, is content of getting the 658 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 3: bloop single or the double in the gap or whatever, 659 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 3: and you want to get that traffic going around the bases, right, 660 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 3: So I like him a lot in the five hole. 661 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 2: So we got to comment here. Second, Yankee player getting 662 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 2: food poisoning while on the road. Keep an eye out 663 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: on that room service staff. Yeah, what is with that man? 664 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 2: You know, there was this time last year where the 665 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: Twins were carrying around this disgusting sausage. It was like 666 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 2: a good luck charm. I think the Yankees are doing that, 667 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 2: but they're actually still eating it like you've got you 668 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 2: gotta be a little bit more careful there. But yeah, 669 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 2: we had belly with the wings problem and then you know, 670 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: obviously Austin Well's down with it right now. So hopefully 671 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: those guys get feeling better. And let's talk a little 672 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: bit about a guy who early on in the season 673 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 2: made our stomach's churn, and that is Devin Williams, who 674 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: has appeared to have locked it in over the last 675 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 2: couple of times. Are we still feeling confident about do 676 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: you will? Yeah? 677 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 3: I'm feeling confident just because if you look at his 678 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 3: history with his numbers month to month, he usually is 679 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 3: pretty rough March April, and then he improves as the 680 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 3: season goes along. I don't like this narrative of the 681 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 3: Mets broke him last year in the playoffs. I mean, 682 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: just stop yourself, like if that went like another inch 683 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 3: further down on the bat it's foul. So I you know, 684 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 3: sometimes baseball's like that. You know they call football game 685 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 3: of inches. Baseball is kind of a game of inches too. 686 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: But I'm not worried about him because he's looked better 687 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 3: also in his recent outings. And the Yankees also have 688 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 3: two clothes on their team. Not a lot of teams 689 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 3: have that true where it's almost like if Devin Williams 690 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 3: doesn't pan out, I am totally cool with having pitch 691 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 3: the eighth and have Weaver close. 692 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: You can't and on a night like tonight where you 693 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 2: want to give him the night off, Weaver comes in 694 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,840 Speaker 2: and he was dominant. That's the best we've seen Weaver 695 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 2: this year is throwing ninety five hot you know, at 696 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 2: the top of the zone. Hey, that's what you want 697 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 2: from him, t K. I mean, where do we stand 698 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 2: right now? Before the season we said over under ninety wins. 699 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: We actually it was ninety and a half wins, and 700 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 2: I think we both took the under. I'm taking the 701 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 2: over now I'm switching my vote. I mean, Frank, you 702 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 2: don't change it in the official thing. But I feel 703 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 2: like I feel like we're I feel like we're trending 704 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 2: better than I thought, I think I feel like. 705 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 3: I took the over. Franki's gonna have to confirm that 706 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 3: from me. I thought I had taken the over, but 707 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 3: like ninety one wins or something like that. But yeah, 708 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 3: they're playing well, man. I like what I'm seeing. The 709 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 3: Detroit series is ugly, but it's freezing, and I was 710 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 3: supposed to play baseball in that weather. I just got 711 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 3: to like baseball. You gotta like let it go. You 712 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 3: gotta like let it go and kind of see what 713 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 3: you have. I'm not gonna have like a legitimate, real 714 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 3: opinion with actual evidence on this Yankee team until probably 715 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 3: around my birthday, which is mid June. Then I kind 716 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 3: of have a feel for who's having a good year, 717 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 3: who's not having a good years, what's a legitimate need 718 00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: just for you guys in the chat around that time 719 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 3: mid June late June, that's when Derek and I will 720 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 3: start discussing like trade deadline things about like who we 721 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 3: think the Yankee should get and like what's a fit 722 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. 723 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 2: Wait a second, Wait a second, who's making a schedule here? 724 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 2: Who's making a I'm gonna start talking about a way 725 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 2: sooner than that.
