1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,439
Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody, Big big win for the Yankees

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: last night and they complete the sweep against a pretty

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: good Mariners team, and I thought there was no way

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: the Yankees were winning that game. When they were down

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: five nothing. He got Brian wu on the mound absolutely dealing,

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: tossing a no hitter. You knew he wasn't gonna go

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: all nine innings, but still you thought, maybe, you know,

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: the bullpend would come in and shut the Yankees down.

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: And we just weren't having great at bats and there

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: was a lot of soft contact. But then you know,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: Jazz got things started with the bass hit and things

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: began to snowball. We had the big pinch hit home

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: run from John Carlos Stanton. I tell you what, one

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: of the games of the year has to be a

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: candidate for one of the games of the year. I

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: would put it up there with the Dominge's walk off,

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: with the nine home run game in the second game

18
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: of the season. Just a purely spectacular experience to win

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that game. And we had some comments from some Mariner

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: fans last night on the chat and they were like, man,

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: that was a gut punch, and I was like, been there,

22
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: guys been there anyway. These last several weeks have been

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: pretty tough for the Yankees, and I haven't been doing

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these outdoor videos because it's been unbelievably hot,

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: unlike the Yankees, by the way, But I felt like

26
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: today it was pretty mild, and I put up the umbrella,

27
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: and I thought it would be a good at a

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: go outside and talk some baseball with nature before I

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: get back in the studio for a long weekend baseball.

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: The final weekend of the first half All Star Game

31
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: on Monday, and I will be releasing a video on

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: Monday with first half Yankees' grades. So let's begin with

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. The Cubs are a worthy adversary. Man. They're

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: having a great year. Their lineup is fantastic. I'm a

35
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: little bit worried about Saye Suzuki. I just feel like

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: he's the type of guy, you know, gonna come into

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: New York and put on a display. You know, there

38
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: was a time before all the Japanese players started going

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers that the Yankees were seen as a

40
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: premier destination for Japanese players, and you know, Suzuki was

41
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: somebody that was definitely on the list. We talked about

42
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: him on this channel quite a bit, and it's cool

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: to see him finally coming into his own I love

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: watching Japanese players play. They've just got you know, different

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: swing types, different game styles. And this is a guy

46
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: who has immense, immense power, so gotta be careful with him.

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker is gonna be the big talk this weekend.

48
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: Will he end up as a Yankee? You know? I

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: mean the money that these guys are getting now, I mean,

50
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: Sodo nobody could have saw you know, seven hundred and

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: sixty five million dollars coming. But would it shock anybody

52
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: if Kyle Tucker got close to that? Now, Tucker's older

53
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: than Sodo, but I could see him getting five hundred

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and six hundred million. I mean, Vladimir just got five

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. He is a decent player, But I mean,

56
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: does anybody really think that's gonna age? Well, he's still

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: pretty young, but I think Tucker has a chance to

58
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: get you know, probably five to six hundred million dollars minimum.

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: And would the Yankees be willing to do that? And

60
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: do they even need to? You're getting great production out

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: of Bellinger in centerfield, Dominguez looks like he's coming into

62
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: his own. Aaron Judge is your right fielder. I mean,

63
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: Stanton's still locked up for a couple of years, although

64
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: we just saw that once the Yankees get down to

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: about twenty million dollars left in a contract, sometimes a

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: little bit more, sometimes a little bit less, they're willing

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: to eat it. So will the Yankees and Stanton be

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: intertwined for that entire contract remains to be seen. He's

69
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: been playing better lately at that huge home run last night,

70
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: but the way his mobility has gotten, I think the

71
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: minute he becomes unviable as a as a hitter, I

72
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: think the Yankees will let him go. That might not

73
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: be for an other year or two, but they still

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: owe him a lot of money. And if you owe

75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: him a lot of money and you're keeping him on

76
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: the roster, you're going to give him at bats at

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the DH spot most likely. So I'm not sure where

78
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker would fit in. I mean, if you're keeping

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: Bellinger and he doesn't opt out, he's either going to

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: play center field or he's going to play first base.

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: You've got Ben Rice, who, by the way, had a

82
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: fantastic game at first base. Last night, you got Ben

83
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Rice probably going to be the Yankees first baseman next year.

84
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Paul Goldschmid's done a good job, but you know, thirty

85
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: seven years old, I don't see him bringing him back.

86
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: You hope that he can give you a veteran presidence,

87
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: maybe get some big hits in October, and then you

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: send him on his way and you let Ben Rice,

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: who's clearly shown a lot of improvement this year, take

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: over at first base. That's the future. So where does

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker fit. I'm not sure there is a fit now.

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you make room for a guy like that, right,

93
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: but I think the Yankees would rather invest in a

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: number of different areas, kind of like they did this

95
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: year with Plan V. I can't see him spending six

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: hundred million on Tucker when they already have kind of

97
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: an outfield logga. Actually, you know what, I probably can

98
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: see them do that because that's how Brian Cashman constructs rosters.

99
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: But look, it'll be interesting to watch how he does

100
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium this week. I feel like he's always,

101
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, killed the Yankees with the astros. I don't

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: have the stats in front of me, but I seem

103
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: to remember him hitting a number of balls into the

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: second deck. But let's let's talk about the rest of

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 1: the series. So Jazz obviously been heating up, got that

106
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: big hit last night for the Yankees, kind of playing

107
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: the home run derby. You hope that he, you know,

108
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: stays hot after the break. You don't want him to

109
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: get into home run mode. But been swinging the bat

110
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: much better since he's gone to this seventy percent approach.

111
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: I love what we're seeing from him. You know, Bellinger

112
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: fifteen game, hitting Street for the second time this year.

113
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: We'll see if he can keep that up throughout the weekend.

114
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't want to have it snapped against

115
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: his former team, the team that traded him. So I

116
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: would expect that we're going to see him going all

117
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: out to hustle and put in the effort like he

118
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: always does. And I'm still predicting a big second deck

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: home run from him. I think he's going to really

120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: tank one. I don't know why, but I just feel

121
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: like I don't think that he feels great about his

122
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: time with the Cubs. You know, he had that great

123
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: year the first year. Second year falls back a little bit.

124
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: The fans were kind of rough on him. He gets traded.

125
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: It was like they doubted that he could come back

126
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: and do it again. Win last year was I mean,

127
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: it was really injuries. This year he's been healthy and

128
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: you can understand by the way watching him play every

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: day why he has so many injuries. Because the guy

130
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: just plays so hard all of the time, right, I mean,

131
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: this is a guy who never takes a playoff. He

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: hustles in the outfield. He goes all out. He's sliding,

133
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: he's diving, he's jumping, he's twisting, he's crashing into walls.

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: And then on the basis I was about to say

135
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: he runs reckless abandon but that wouldn't be accurate. He

136
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: runs very, very hard, but he's he picks his spots.

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: He's he's a smart base runner. You know what, I'm

138
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: enjoying base running more this year than I have in

139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: years past because the Yankees base running has been just

140
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: so crap. Right, it's just been awful, And you know,

141
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: it's great to see Dominguez the way he's been running

142
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: the base is now no hits last night. Be interesting

143
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: to see how much they play him this weekend if

144
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: they give him a day off. I hope that he

145
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: gets plenty of reps. I love him watching him develop.

146
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, you got Judge making a bid to take

147
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: over the home run lead. He needs three and he

148
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: needs cal Raley to basically stop where he is. Okay,

149
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: I can't explain cal Raley. I mean, you just don't

150
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: see catchers put up that kind of power. But I mean,

151
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: he might hit fifty to sixty home runs. I still

152
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: think he's gonna wear down in the second half. I

153
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: think cal Raley's gonna end up with forty seven, forty

154
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: eight home runs. He's going to be up there near

155
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: the catching record for I think it's forty eight home

156
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: runs maybe, and that's just still an unbelievable season. But

157
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: I think Judge has shown that he can hit sixty,

158
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: and you know, he can hit fifty eight, and he

159
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: can hit fifty two, and I think there's another fifty

160
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: five plus home run season assuming he stays healthy. Loving

161
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: what we're seeing from John Carlos Stanton the last couple

162
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: of days. Taking the ball to right field is usually

163
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: the sign that he's getting going. And you know, when

164
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: he's red hot, he makes everybody around him better because

165
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: you have to be careful and kind of tiptoe around him.

166
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: You make a mistake to him, he'll make it three nothing,

167
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: or he'll take a big chunk out of in opposition's

168
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: lead real quick. You know, this is the second time

169
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: we've seen him do that. He did it against the

170
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 1: Blue Jays and that big comeback. So Stanton has been

171
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: instrumental in two of our bigger comebacks. Now we lost

172
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: one of those games, but last night obviously, great great effort.

173
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Quick word from our sponsor today, Harry's, and then we'll

174
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: be back, and I want to talk about some of

175
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: the things that aren't going so well, Anthony Bolby. In baseball,

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: as in life, it's all about having that extra edge,

177
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: that little extra half second on your swing, the late

178
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: break on a slider, or the grit to outlast your

179
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: opponent on a hot afternoon. Same goes for shaving. Harry's

180
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: gives you the edge where it counts. I tried the

181
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: eight dollars trial set, and honestly, it's like the ace

182
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: of my bathroom rotation. Baby. The handles weighted just right,

183
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: the razor is smooth, and the foaming shaved gel lathers

184
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: better than anything I could have used before. I keep

185
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: my beard, tight around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation.

186
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: Harry's handled it with ease. Even the packaging is big

187
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: league and their body wash. I got the redwood scent.

188
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I smell fantastic. I smell fantastic. It's like a fresh

189
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: cut feel. Get the edge on your shape with Harry's razors.

190
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Normally their trial set is ten dollars, but right now

191
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: you can get it for eight dollars at Harry's dot

192
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: com slash stripe. That's Harry's dot com slash stripe for

193
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: your eight dollar trial set. So, Anthony Volpee, what do

194
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: you do with the kid? I mean, he came to

195
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: the league with so much hype and so much promise,

196
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: local kid. They marketed the hell out of him, and

197
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: he's shown some promise, obviously defensively in his career, taking

198
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: a step back defensively this year for sure. Last Night

199
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: showcased his speed and athleticism to score on that shallow

200
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: pop fly from Aaron Judge and a lot of other

201
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: celebrating with Aaron Judge, like Aaron Judge just hit a

202
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: five hundred foot home run to win the World Series,

203
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: should have been celebrating around Anthony Volpi at home. I

204
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: mean it was his little swim move slide that got

205
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: the job done. And I just touched my microphone. Hopefully

206
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: it didn't make a big sound, but really, Volpie was

207
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: instrumental in that win with that slide, with the speed.

208
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: But offensively he's been a nightmare this year. He's down

209
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: to two fifteen. He's hitting like one eighteen or something

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: over his last I'd say, like seventy five eighty at bats.

211
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: Somebody sent me the stat this morning and I just

212
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: it blew my mind. I'm not sure what you do.

213
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no clear cut person to take over Oswald.

214
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: Perrazza is a better shortstop defensively in my opinion, but again,

215
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: not an offensive weapon at all. Now is he better

216
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: than one to eighteen? I mean sure, but so is Volpi? Right,

217
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Volpi's done it at times at a very

218
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: high level in the major leagues. He's shown power, He's

219
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: shown the ability to you know, layout doubles and pick

220
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: up triples and he got on base for thirty four games.

221
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: And right, he's done it, right, I mean, we know

222
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: he can do it. He's just not doing it lately.

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: He's not doing it right now, I'm concerned. I'm concerned

224
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: maybe the league has figured him out. You always wonder

225
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: with a player when they have these extended slumps. I mean,

226
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: is this something that's permanent, because most guys, to be honest,

227
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: don't last very long in the big leagues. I mean,

228
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: the average career is not very long. It really it's

229
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Major leaguers will tell you it's very difficult to get

230
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: to the major leagues. It's even more difficult to stay

231
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: in the major leagues. Now, Ken Volpey stay in the

232
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: major leagues right now, I feel like he needs a break.

233
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: He needs to go down to Triple A for a

234
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: little bit, and he needs to get his swing together. Sorry,

235
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm checking out my dog. She seems hot. I might

236
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: have to let her in a minute. But Volpi is

237
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: by far the most disappointing thing to me this season,

238
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: other than the injuries. Obviously, losing Garrett Cole was devastating.

239
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: Losing Clark Schmidt the way we did it has been devastating.

240
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: But I really thought Volpi was going to take a

241
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: step forward. And you know, it's just it sucks because

242
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: you're seeing the rest of the team start to turn

243
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: it around. You're seeing signs of life out of guys

244
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: like Bellinger and Jazz, and obviously Judge has been amazing

245
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: all year, and Stanton's coming around, and you know, Well's

246
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: been heating up lately, and Volpi just remains stuck in

247
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: the mud. I mean, I guess there's always someone who's

248
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 1: the last person to show up to a party. But look,

249
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: you feel for the kid. You just feel for the kid.

250
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: And I understand that, Uh, there are some people who

251
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: want him gone now and and and want him traded

252
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: and just ready to give up on him. But there's

253
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: still a part of me that has seen the potential

254
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: and wants to be patient. Right, I mean, everybody goes

255
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: through struggles. But at the same time, I mean, this

256
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: year three, come on, this year three. You got to

257
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: you gotta figure it out. At some point, We're gonna

258
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: have Terrence Kem on the show tonight to do a

259
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a State of the Yanks. We'll talk

260
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: about Volpie, we'll talk about some other stuff. We'll talk

261
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: trades probably, so tune in for that after the game

262
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: tonight Yankees Cubs kicking off the final weekend of the season.

263
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: I'll see in just a bit. Welcome dude, you got

264
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: the stage, here, come on everything. Just when they away them,

265
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: they pull me back
