1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,320 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 2: It is Thursday, August twenty eighth, and the Yankees were 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 2: in the Windy City to take on the White Sox 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 2: as they tried to make it five straight wins. Cody 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: Bellinger was bringing the lumber and Will Warren was on 6 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,480 Speaker 2: the mound. My recap, your reactions coming up next. This 7 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 2: is Pinstripe territory. 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 3: Too. That's all. 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: All right? How's it going everybody? Welcome back? Welcome back, 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: and the Yankees win again. This just in. The Yankees 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: are good at hitting home runs against bad teams. Yesterday 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 2: I said that the Yankees had won five straight. I 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: have never been great at math. Uh, but I got 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: a little ahead of myself. But with this win tonight, 15 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: prophecy fulfilled. That is five straight wins for the Yankees. 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: Wow, winning. 17 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: All right, So a good game for the Yankees. Warren, 18 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: he gave up a grand Slam, but no earned runs. 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: Not often that that happens. Bellinger, Grisham, and Jazz all 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: went deep. All making a run at thirty home runs 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: this season, and Jazz making a run at thirty thirty. 22 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: He stole a base late in that game. He's got 23 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 2: twenty four stolen bases now, and look the amount of 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: time he's missed. That's pretty impressive that he could get 25 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 2: to thirty thirty. You know, he had that oblique strain. 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: He was out for a bit. Trent Grisham be interested 27 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 2: to see what kind of contract he gets. Obviously one 28 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: of these guys having a huge year in his contract year. 29 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 2: But he's changed his swing a little bit. He's learned 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: who he is, and I still think he's a good 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: center fielder. I don't care what the metrics say. He 32 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 2: could be a backup plan for the Yankees choose not 33 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: to bring Cody Bellinger back after he opts out. I 34 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 2: think he will opt out, but we're gonna talk about 35 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: Bellinger later too. He had a great night. He was 36 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: three for four with two RBIs now in eight forty 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: seven OPS, and I was just looking at the numbers, 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: and you know, when you compare him to what Juan 39 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: Soto has done, I mean he's not far behind in 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: up in home runs, he's higher in batting average, the 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: OPS is only a little bit below Soda, and he 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: plays better defense. Not quite as many stolen bases as Sodo, 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: but we'll take the hustle. But yeah, I mean he's 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: been an adequate replacement. More than adequate. Luke Weaver threw 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: the pill really well tonight. Fernando Cruz worked a scoreless inning, 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: so good to have him back. Volpi had a good 47 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 2: night at the dish, but he was responsible for those 48 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: four unearned runs with another error. If you're skipping town 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: tomorrow like a lot of people do before Labor Day 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: on a Friday, I'm taking the day off. Don't blame 51 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 2: you if you're taking the day off. Everybody deserves a 52 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: little four day weekend once in a while. Not a 53 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: bad way to kick off your Labor Day weekend. Let's 54 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: catch you the recap. Oh, let's get it, go it 55 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: d domps is lock up belly now. Another good game 56 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: for Cody smoked a two run home run in the 57 00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: first inning with judge on base. Cody Bellinger with home 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 2: run number twenty six on the season. Guy is an 59 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: absolute stud. He also had a double in this game. 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: He's got twenty two doubles. I'm gonna spotlight him in 61 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 2: just a few minutes and we'll take a look at 62 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: his stat cast numbers as well talk a little bit 63 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: about what his future could look like. He will probably 64 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 2: opt out after the season. I would if I were him. 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: You know, good chance to get paid, but I think 66 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 2: the Yankee should pay him. 67 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: Hey, that's me and his money. 68 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: Another good night for Cody Bellinger. So we had Jazz 69 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: Chisholm also went deep tonight. He continues to hit for power. 70 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: He's got twenty six home runs real chance at thirty thirty. 71 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: Like I said, Ben Rice ripped a big two out 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 2: single with a runner in scoring position. Look, his luck 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: is beginning to even out. You remember how bad his 74 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: luck was early in the season, and now he's starting 75 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 2: to pick up more hits. And tonight he was two 76 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: for five. He's got the average up to forty eight, 77 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: the ops up to eight thirty nine, looking like one 78 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 2: of those guys who the Yankee system is going to 79 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: produce as an elite hitter. You know, they don't turn 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: out a lot of talent. They don't turn out as 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: much talent as other teams. They don't get as many 82 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: high draft picks as other teams. But I will say this, 83 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: they've had Rookie of the Year. They had you know, 84 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 2: last year they had two out of the top three. 85 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: They had Heel and Wells. Rice not technically a rookie, 86 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 2: but off to a very strong start in his major 87 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: league career. You know, they have turned around if you 88 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 2: play i mean, Judge obviously great draft pick. So it's 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: not like they're shooting blanks out of the minor leagues. 90 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: But it's nice to see a gym to come through 91 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 2: once in a while. Would not shock me if he 92 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 2: hits thirty five home runs next year, maybe drives in 93 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: ninety two, one hundred runs. Aside from the on base percentage. 94 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: Another guy who's like got Soto like potential. You know, 95 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: you look at the baseball Savant, I mean he's up 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: near the top and everything. We've looked at it a bunch. 97 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 2: But you know, the Yankees do produce good left handed 98 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: bats once in a while. Yanks and the Yankees jumped 99 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: down to this four nothing lead, and then Will Warren 100 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: gave it right back with a grand slam to Miguel 101 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 2: Vargas in the bottom of the second inning. It looked 102 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: like it was, you know, only a matter of time 103 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: because he was missing his spots. He was, you know, 104 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: trying to go outside. He would get it inside. You know, 105 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: he was just not sharp early on. Now to his credit, 106 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: nowhere in runs like he settled down after that he 107 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: got them through the fifth inning and all four runs 108 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 2: unearned because of Anthony Volpi, who made an error. Now 109 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: Volpe did break his one for thirty eight streak with 110 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: a double. He had two hits in this game, and 111 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 2: he had a sack fly. But the error is a problem, 112 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: you know. But Yankees got the lead back in the 113 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,559 Speaker 2: fifth for good. Ben Rice with another nice piece of hitting, 114 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: great base running ball by the first basement, Judge ran 115 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: into Vargas. Can you imagine getting run into by Aaron Judge. 116 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: Gotta be like, you know, getting hit by a mail 117 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: truck or something. Bellinger almost in a second home run 118 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 2: of the game in the top of the fifth. Our 119 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 2: old buddy Mike Talkman brought it back. Bellinger ended up 120 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: on second base. Still a really good game. We had 121 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 2: a nice catch by Big g in the Alfai. What 122 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: can I say? What can I say? Dude runs like 123 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 2: a deer. A bullpen, as I mentioned, looked really good tonight. 124 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: Dream Weaver looked extremely sharp throwing smoke tonight and Trent 125 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: Grisham handing out the free all expenses paid beverage cart 126 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: service included mustache rides once the seven home runs. Now 127 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: for Trent Grisham on the season, still pretty young. Would 128 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: not shock me if the Yankees brought him back and 129 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 2: they win this one ten to four. But there we go. 130 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: Sausage and honor will mention to Devin Williams, who got 131 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 2: is the ra under five tonight. He pitched a scoreless 132 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: eighth inning with three strikeouts and has the ERA down 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: to four point nine to one. I almost ended the 134 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: show by accident with my sausage fingers. Sorry about that, 135 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: so we'll skip all the drama. Belt tonight, Cody Bellinger 136 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: and Lookie, lookie. As we enter the final month of 137 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: the season, we have quite a race here for the 138 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: Belt leader. Jazz leads, but Freed Rodan right behind him. 139 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: Grisham and Bellinger tied at six. So this is anyone's ballgame. 140 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: I think that. I think that ultimately, if you're looking 141 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: at Team MVP, despite Judge having MVP like caliber numbers 142 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: and having the highest war, the Belts don't lie. I mean, 143 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: Jazz has been unbelievable, Freed has been unbelievable. It's hard 144 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 2: to pick a Team MVP at this point. But right now, 145 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: if I had to cast a vote for Team MVP, 146 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. Man it's hard to go jazz even 147 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: though he has the most belts because he missed some time. 148 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 2: Freed also had that slump. I might have to go 149 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: Grisham or Bellinger. I mean, Grisham has been phenomenal. I mean, 150 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: Judge has been obviously, you know, great this year. It's 151 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: tough to say. It's a tough for I mean and Judge, 152 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 2: you know, say what you want about his his numbers, 153 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 2: but he has not been the same since he got hurt, 154 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: so he's had kind of a down period as well. 155 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: So you know, let's start thinking about who the team 156 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: MVP is. And I want to hear you guys in 157 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: the comments. Feel free to call in, drop it in 158 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 2: the chat. But good night for Cody Bellinger pitcher, spotlight pitch. 159 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: It is not very often that you give up a 160 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 2: Grand Slam and your ERA goes down, but that is 161 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: exactly what happened tonight with Will Warren. You know, obviously 162 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: not sharp, but did pitch out of some jams. Overall, 163 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 2: he got through five innings. Hard to complain about five 164 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: innings and nowhere and runs four runs total. Did have 165 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: a couple of walks, three strikeouts. The ERA for the 166 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: season now four point three zero uh and the whip 167 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: at one point four zero whip unchanged from his last 168 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 2: outing ninety three pitches to night fifty one strikes. You'd 169 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: like a little bit of a higher percentage. Usually he's 170 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: a guy who pounds the strike zone a little bit more. 171 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 2: But we can live with it because the Yankees won. 172 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: Let's talk about Cody Bellinger having one of the better 173 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: years of his career. You see the numbers now two 174 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: eighty three, twenty six home runs, eighty one RBIs, eleven 175 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: stolen bases, eight forty seven ops, three thirty six on 176 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: base percentage. Of course, stellar defense, you know, just the athleticism, 177 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: the presence you watch him in Yankee Stadium, the swing, 178 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 2: the way he punishes down and in pitches. I mean, 179 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: he is built for Yankee Stadium. He's absolutely built for 180 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 2: this ballpark. I've been advocating for the Yankees to pick 181 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: him up for years. They finally did it. It's looking 182 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 2: like a great move. I don't want to say that, 183 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: you know, you know he's the perfect Yankee, but he 184 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: might be the perfect Yankee. I mean, when you consider 185 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 2: what this team has needed over the last couple of years, 186 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: just sheer effort, on the field, for one, smarts on 187 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: the bases right, running the bases with intent. That's exactly 188 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 2: what this team has been missing. He is the epitome 189 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 2: of what the Yankees should strive for. A guy who 190 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: has power but doesn't sell out for power, who will 191 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: take the base hit right, who runs hard out of 192 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 2: the box even when it is hit near the fence 193 00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: and could be a home run. You know, he doesn't 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: home runs just because he would look good on Sports Center, right. 195 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: And then when one gets brought back like tonight, end 196 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: up on first base, No makes it the second base 197 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: because he was hustling all the way, you know. And 198 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: his impact goes beyond the numbers too. When you got 199 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 2: young outfielders coming up, you got Dominguez already up. You 200 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: see him hustling. You know, you got Spencer Jones coming up. 201 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: Possibly next year, if the Yankees don't bring back Grisham, 202 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: you know, maybe Bellinger plays first base and Rice becomes 203 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: your catcher. We've already seen that being a catcher in 204 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: the modern game, what Cayl Roley's doing, you can still 205 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: put up offense, and Rice has done a nice job 206 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: offensively when he catches. He caught tonight had a couple 207 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 2: of hits, but the impact, the example that he sets 208 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: as a guy who plays hard, never takes a playoff, 209 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: plays smart, can't be understated. He you know, he takes 210 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 2: the extra base, he throws to the cutoff man, bust 211 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 2: it down the line, even on ground balls. That stuff 212 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: can be contagious and it's a good example to set. 213 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: And I think we got to keep him around now. 214 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: I think I think it's almost a lock that he 215 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 2: opts out. You know, that's the reality of a big 216 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: season before a contract option, especially in New York in 217 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: a big market. But I don't expect Yankees to just 218 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: let him walk. He's too much of an asset, too 219 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: much of a breadth of fresh air. The fans love him, 220 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: and he's a guy who changes the vibe. I want 221 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: him back. He can either play first base or play 222 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: right field and move Judge to first. You could leave 223 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: him in center. You could play him and left put 224 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: Martian in center. You could deal the Martian, you could 225 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of things you could do, 226 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: but you got to keep Cody Bellinger on this team. 227 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 2: Let's talk DraftKings. We got a lot of comments here 228 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: for Bellinger as team MVP, and then Brian Bashman says 229 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: he's too old to re sign. He's a that old 230 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: thirty years old? Be all right? So all right, let's talk. 231 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: Let's talk DraftKings. Let's pay a light bill and a 232 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: reminder that if you want to play along, you can 233 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 2: download the DraftKings sportsbook app and use the code foul. 234 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 2: That's code foul for new customers to get three hundred 235 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: dollars in bonus bets instantly. When you bet just five 236 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 2: bucks only on DraftKings. The crown is yours first of all. 237 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: As well as Ben Rice has been swinging the bat, 238 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 2: how could I not pick him to hit a home 239 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: run this weekend? You know, a couple of hits tonight 240 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: kept the ball in the ballpark, But I think he's 241 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: putting one in the seats this weekend for sure. The 242 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: way he's locked in, he's going deep. I wouldn't be 243 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: shocked if he hit a couple, maybe three, right that 244 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 2: would that would take some balls to predict a three 245 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 2: home run game, or to even say, you shave your 246 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: head if he hit three in a game like I 247 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: did last year and it still has not grown back 248 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: all the way, I'm still like it's way thinner. Uh. Anyway, 249 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 2: white socks have bad pitching, You're gonna pummele pummel these guys. 250 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: I expect to be you know, I expect the Yankees 251 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 2: to be hitting off the last guys in the bullpen 252 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: a lot in this series. And I think, you know, 253 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: guys who have been hot, that's gonna play right in. 254 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: I think Stanton's do for a couple of home runs 255 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: because it's been a couple of days, you know, But 256 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: I think that he's gonna hit a couple of home 257 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: runs this weekend. Picking one home run for him isn't 258 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: even a challenge. It's like almost automatic. So I think 259 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 2: two much more likely. I think it's I think it's 260 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: probably gonna happen Saturday. I'm saying two home runs on Saturday. 261 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: Ryan McMahon, you know, he ripped one in the gap. 262 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 2: He also hit a home run the other day Yankee Stadium. 263 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: His swing seems like it's coming around. I think he's 264 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 2: going deep in this series, so he could be a 265 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 2: good pick for a home run. And then we've got 266 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 2: Carlos Rodan. I'm picking eight plus strikeouts for Carlos Rodan. 267 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 2: We know guys a lot of times will play better 268 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: against teams they used to play for. That is the 269 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: situation tomorrow when Carlos Rodan pitches, and he has pitched 270 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: at this ballpark a lot, so he should be comfortable. 271 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 2: He's been throwing the ball well lately. Carlos Rodan is 272 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: my guy for eight plus strikeouts and once again play 273 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: along on DraftKings. Use the code foul. 274 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: Here's the boiler plate gambling problem called one eight hundred 275 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: gambler in New York call eight seven seven eight hope 276 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 4: and wire text hope and wy in four six seven 277 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: three six nine in Connecticut.

I don't know. 287 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: He's pretty athletic, but we did run into something like 288 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: that with DJ Lemayhew. The Yankee seem to be okay 289 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: with stretching out the years if it can keep the 290 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 2: AAV down. I don't know. If you go seven for 291 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 2: BELLI if Belly was willing to come back for five, 292 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: I think you gotta do it. You know, five at 293 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 2: two twenty five to thirty five years, one hundred and fifty, 294 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: that would be hard to say. 295 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 5: No. 296 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: I mean, the way he plays the game, you're getting 297 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: three really good years, I think for sure. Take a 298 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: couple of voicemails. First one's about Warren. 299 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 5: Hey, Darry gets Thomas bought him in the seventh and 300 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: they just showed extrade graphic of Will Warren. He hit 301 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 5: five innings pitched I think, or six. Maybe he allowed 302 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 5: four runs, but zero earned. I mean, he capletech Grand Slam. 303 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 5: Wouldn't he at least have one? I don't know if 304 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 5: that's correct or if they messed up this. You could 305 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 5: explain it to me. 306 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: The reason that he doesn't have any earn runs is 307 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 2: because the Vulpi error. If he doesn't make that error, 308 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: if he gets that out, the inning is over. Like 309 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: the Grand Slam never happens. Right, three outs would have 310 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 2: been recorded before the Grand Slam happened, So anything that 311 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: happens after what would have been the third out, after 312 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 2: it's impacted by the error is an unearned run. So 313 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 2: that's that's kind of how that works out. This is 314 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 2: an interesting call. 315 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek Danny from Calie Again. Hey, we're just one 316 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 3: of the add rumor. Has it that your great hitting 317 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 3: coach James Rolson and Anthony Bolt he can't fucking stand 318 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: each other. Just wanted to throw this little hot take 319 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 3: out there. 320 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 2: I've been out of the loop for the last day 321 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: or so because I have been working really hard to 322 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: try and catch up on stuff before I take a 323 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 2: day off tomorrow. So I have not been listening to 324 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: my baseball podcasts, I have not been tuned into MLB 325 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: Network or you know, anything like that, and I haven't 326 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 2: been browsing social media as much. So this is the 327 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: first I am hearing about this. But if it's true, 328 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 2: that's a big problem because he's the hitting coach. You 329 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: gotta work with him. I mean, I can't imagine that 330 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 2: going well if you hate your hitting coach and if 331 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: you're hitting coach hates. 332 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: You, oh man, And wouldn't this season just be so 333 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: much more fun or every season if we just had 334 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: to face like the White Socks and the Nationals and 335 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: you know, the Rockies. Give me, give me one six 336 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: sixty two against those boys and make us feel good 337 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: about ourselves. Man, you start facing some of these good 338 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: teams and we get our get our jacks knocked in. Man, 339 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: it's not not too cool. All right, Let's go. Let's 340 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: win this series. Let's sweep this series if possible. Freaking 341 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: Red Sox don't lose them so ob so we gotta 342 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: just keep winning. That's all we can do, all. 343 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 2: Right, all right, Well, we're gonna take a look real 344 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: quick at the standings here. Yankees seventy four and sixty 345 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 2: half game behind the Red Sox and four games back 346 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 2: of the Blue Jays. Jocks knocked in. I gotta steal that. 347 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the while we're up here. 348 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger baseball savant. So, I mean these numbers are 349 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: really really good. I mean he is in the top 350 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: nineteen percent in batting run value, top third of the 351 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 2: league in base running value, top eleven percent of the 352 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 2: league in fielding run value, and that's playing multiple positions. 353 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: You know, his launch angle sweet spot is top twenty 354 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: five percent strikeout percentage. I mean, how when was the 355 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: last time you saw Yankee that was this good at 356 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 2: avoiding strikeouts but also a decent hitter. You know, we've 357 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: had some guys who don't strike out a lot, but 358 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: they don't get a lot of hits or production either. 359 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: You know, but he's in the eighty fourth percentile and 360 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 2: fifth percentage, ninety second percentile in strikeout percentage and then fielding. 361 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: You know, his arm value is great, his range is great, 362 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: and in terms of sprint speed, top twenty five percent 363 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: of the league. And you know that heat map shows 364 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: you you know, it's built well for Yankee Stadium. So 365 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger, I say, bring him back. All right, let's 366 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 2: wrap it up here. A couple of comments here, Spinas 367 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 2: is five years thirty million would be nuts nuts good 368 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 2: or nuts bad. I mean, I think he would probably 369 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: get offers from more than that. I would suspect he'll 370 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: get six to seven years, close to two hundred million. 371 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: I think that's the kind of numbers he'll he'll get 372 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: this winter based on this is the second really good 373 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 2: year he's had in the last three Remember he won 374 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: Comeback Player of the Year with the Cubs a couple 375 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: of years ago. He looked great. So we have got 376 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: to continue to just smoke these bad teams. We got 377 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: to sweep the White Sox. You know, if you sweep 378 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: the White Sox, I like the Yankees chances of being 379 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: like two or three games out in the division and 380 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 2: maybe being at or above the Red Sox going into September. 381 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: That's not a bad position to be in. Unfortunately, then 382 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 2: your schedule gets tough. We talked about this the other day. 383 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 2: You got Houston, Toronto, Detroit, Boston. That is a gauntlet. 384 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: But then you finished out with some easy teams. You 385 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: got Minnesota, you got Baltimore, and then you got Chicago 386 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 2: and Baltimore again. You can you can really do some 387 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: damn much down the stretch. But these next one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 388 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 2: forty fifteen games are gonna be critical. I think you 389 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 2: gotta go like eleven and four. I think to really 390 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: make a run, you gotta go like eleven and four, 391 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 2: and then you gotta not let off, you know, your 392 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: foot off the gas when you face these scrubs down 393 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 2: the stretch. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna get 394 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 2: started with my vacation. I'm gonna enjoy the rest of 395 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 2: my night one more time without the sausage figures. Harris 396 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: Grubbs says, how many wins do you think the Yankees get? 397 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: Eighty eight to ninety somewhere in that range. I think minimum. 398 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 2: I don't think they'll get much more than that, but 399 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,239 Speaker 2: be interesting to see. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, We'll 400 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: see you next time.
