WEBVTT - Cardinals Win Bronx HR Derby 0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:02.880 One to cook a gold. 0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:10.719 Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back home run derby in the 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.360 Bronx Game one thirteen in the books, and the Yankees 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.720 dropped this one thirteen to seven. Cam Schlitzler had a 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.920 very very rough night. Yankees actually hit the ball pretty 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.320 well five home runs, but on hell, Chavi got shell 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:30.320 ACKed for six runs and the Yankees lost this one 0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:34.120 after coming back from six to nothing. Luis Garcia Junior, 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.519 I mean, we have to give this man his props. 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.280 In his first game as a New York Yankee, he 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.680 crushed a go ahead to run home run. He had 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.160 two hits in the game. I said yesterday that Garcia 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.400 was gonna be a huge trade, and I meant it. 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.280 He's gonna help this lineup a lot against righties. But 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:57.279 it didn't solve the glaring issues on the roster. There 0:00:57.280 --> 0:01:02.040 were several issues that were left unresolved. And we're gonna 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:03.480 talk about that in a few minutes. We're gonna have 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:08.000 TK come on after I get through the postgame recap section. 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.320 But yeah, I was impressed by Garcia in his debut. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.560 He's a New Yorker, he's a local kid, grew up 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.640 a Yankees fan, The stadium was absolutely electric when he 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.640 hit that home run, but unfortunately the pitching gave it 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.760 back up. Probably won't get to any voicemails tonight, but 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.400 we'll do a show tomorrow morning and get your reactions 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.760 to not only this game but to the trade deadline. 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.640 But let's go ahead and take a look at the 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.960 score bug here on hell. Chavi gets the loss. His 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.480 eraight went from under one all the way up to 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:44.600 three point seven to eight. Alec Burlson hit three home 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.840 runs in this game, drove in six. Nathan Church also 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.200 hit a home run. Trent Grisham had a good day 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:55.600 with home run number twelve, And I mean the Yankees 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.800 offense was actually kind of electric. After weeks and weeks 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.520 of failing to put up any runs, tonight they turned 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.080 it on. Take a look at the good, the bad, 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:11.520 and the ugly. Trent Grisham with a good night, two 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.359 hits and a homer. Garcia obviously with a good night 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.160 a home run two RBI. Spencer Jones had a rough night, 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.800 so did Ben Rice. Jason Dimingez had a base hit 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.320 but then got thrown out at second oversliding the bag. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.520 We'll talk about that. Jazz Chisholm with a tough night, 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.200 oh for four. Ryan McMahon got it going a little 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:29.960 bit with a couple of hits and a home run. 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.840 Jose Cabalira went deep, and Austin Wells how about Austin 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.639 Wells with two hits and a home run on the 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.720 day that you know, the Yankees failed to make any 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.919 upgrades at the catcher position. Basically they said go get 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.600 a big guy, and he continued to swing the bat well. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.480 He's been swinging the bat better over the last couple 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.400 of weeks. Weather Holt had a base hit today and 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.760 a couple of walks. Jordan Walker had a couple of knocks. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.480 Alec Burlson with the three home run game. He's obviously 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.760 the player of the game. Herrera had a walk, Torres 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.040 had hit. Blaize Jordan, former big time prospect, with a 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.240 base hit. Mason Winn went over four with the silver sombrero, 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.880 Nathan Church with a couple of hits, for Mean with 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.720 a couple of hits, and Crooks with a home run. 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.680 And that is the good, the bad, and the ugly. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.440 I want to talk a little bit about Brian Cashman 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:26.680 and his legacy. I feel like his tenure is gonna 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.160 be a lot of Remember when he did this, Remember 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.079 when he did that, And I feel like today is 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:34.920 going to go down as one of them. Remember when 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:38.960 he ignored those glaring holes on the roster in a 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.400 season where the American League was very winnable. You know, 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.960 Remember that time when Justin Verlander was available and would 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.800 have accepted a trade to the Yankees, but Cashman let 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:55.839 Houston get him. You know. Then Verlander immediately wins ALCS 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.760 MVP against the Yankees and pretty much personally ended their season. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.200 Remember when he could have traded for Garrett Cole when 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:06.520 he was twenty seven with Pittsburgh, and instead he chose 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.040 not to give up Miguel and Duhart and Clint Fraser 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:15.080 and he went to Houston. And then you had to 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:16.920 pay him three hundred and twenty four million to come 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.280 a couple of years later, you know, two years after, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.960 you know, really would have made the biggest difference. He 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.760 protects prospects like I don't know, like their priceless heirlooms, 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.479 and most of them turned into nothing. And then he 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.240 pays full retail for guys on the open market past 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:45.440 their prime. And meanwhile he is so terrified that he 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.680 is going to get ripped off in a trade that 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.960 he refuses to go all in. Ever, you know, the 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:53.960 Yankees had the prospects to get some of these guys 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.760 that moved, but in the end, it ends up being 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.040 the Yankees most of the time who get ripped off. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:05.440 Who get ripped off. Remember that time when the Yankees 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:08.680 went with Ikf at shortstop instead of signing a shortstop. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.360 Remember when he protected Oswald Perrazza like he was the 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.880 next Derek Jeter and stashed him in triple A while 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:22.680 while Ikf struggled. Remember when Anthony Rizzo collided with Fernando 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.679 Tatist Junior and then didn't look right for two months. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.680 Turned out he was playing with a concussion and the 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.560 Yankees just kept saying, oh, he's fine. Remember when he 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:37.000 did nothing about that. Remember when he managed to piss 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:41.440 off Derek Jeter in contract negotiations, and then Jorge Pisada 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.880 during the final season of his career, And then when 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.200 he disrespected Bernie Williams at the end of his career, 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.400 and then he pisses off Aaron Judge by holding a 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.120 press conference and publicly announcing the details of the contract 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.680 that Judge rejected to the point where Judge had to 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:03.159 negotiate with Steinbrenner directly. Some of the most important players 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.760 on the roster over the last few decades, and Cashman 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:12.840 has openly made them feel disrespected. Remember when he continued 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.960 running dj Lemayhew out there month after month when it 0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.480 was obvious that the guy needed help crossing the street, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.599 that he was about one fall away from being in 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.880 a nursing home, and he kept putting him out there 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.679 in the middle of the lineup. Remember when Bryce Harper 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.400 became a free agent at age twenty six and practically 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:39.760 begged the Yankees to show some interest. Cashman said that 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.600 Harper wasn't a fit because he had six outfielders. Six 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:47.479 outfielders that included Jacoby Elsberry who was missing, Clint Frazier 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.040 who had done nothing, Aaron Hicks who really hadn't done much, 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.960 and Brett Gardner who was on the tail end of 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:56.120 his career. Harper went to Philadelphia and has since won 0:06:56.160 --> 0:07:01.800 two MVPs. Remember when Cashman traded for the rotting corpse 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:05.840 of Josh Donaldson. Oh that that was also part of 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.200 the IKF deal. Took on his entire contract and watched 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.840 him become one of the worst hitters in baseball, and 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.960 then spent two years just saying that. You know, he's 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:22.600 our analytics show, he's strong. He still got plenty left. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:29.480 Remember when he gave Aaron Hicks seven years. Remember when 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.840 he gave away one hundred and fifty three million dollars 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:37.760 to Jacoby Elsbury. Remember when the Yankees went eighty two 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:42.880 eighty and missed the postseason and had one of the 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.160 most embarrassing seasons in decades, And he goes to the 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:51.600 GM meetings and says, we're pretty fucking good. That might 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.880 actually be the perfect Cashman quote. The results are mediocre, 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:07.600 and Cashman is standing there congratulating. Cashman. You onto tonight's game. Hey, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:12.440 remember when the Yankees had their worst catching situation in 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.640 years and there were a few good catchers available the deadline, 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.920 and instead they went to the competitors in the division. 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.200 First inning was an absolute nightmare for camp Schulterer. Thirty 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.760 pitches and a two run home run. I actually thought 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.320 he might be hurt. I didn't like the way he 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.320 was moving around on the mound. He looked stiff, he 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.440 looked uncomfortable. Five walks tonight. You don't see that from 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.440 Camp Schlutler, and I am worried. I'm worried. Then in 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.320 a couple of days or maybe after three starts, knowing 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:48.240 the Yankees, we're gonna find out that Cam Schlitler has 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.320 forearm stiffness or shoulder stiffness. That was not how a 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.719 healthy person pitches. You don't walk five guys out of 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.960 nowhere when you have elite command like that. Something is wrong. 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:06.640 I'm calling it right now. And he was just moving 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.800 around stiff. He didn't have that usual you know rooster 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:15.760 strut that he's got right. Three innings, four runs, five walks. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.960 Velocity was there topped out at ninety nine point nine, 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.880 but there was there was a little touch missing, so 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:28.400 we'll see. Austin Wells had a pretty good game. Grisham 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.319 handed out a mustache ride, McMahon hit the home run. 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:34.800 Demingez had another hit, got thrown out sliding over the 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.760 bag again. I feel like someone oversliding the bag and 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:41.800 just being like a hair off the bag and still 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.400 being tagged isn't really the spirit of the rule because 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.960 it slows down the game and it's like, I mean, 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:48.920 how are you supposed to control your body at that level? 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.600 I mean, I get it, but maybe he should start 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.440 sliding feet first, you know, you know, be throwing those 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.240 spikes in there. Make guys a little bit more or 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.839 less hesitant to their hands in there. Garcia not only 0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.480 had a nice piece of hitting and a two run 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.200 home run, but he had a couple of nice plays 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.760 at first base. He has a rocket for an arm 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.520 compared to most first basemen. Remember when Jason Giambi played 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.040 first base for the Yankees and he was trying to 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.680 throw down a second base It was like watching a 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.920 t rex try and swat a mosquito. And then CHEVII 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:28.160 got absolutely torched tonight, absolutely torched. In this game. He 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:33.360 gave up five hits, six earned runs, one walk, no strikeouts, 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.920 and that was just about as brutal as you can be. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:45.840 Yankees dropped this one, Okay, So we're gonna bring on 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:50.680 Terrance here. TK. I know you were working tonight, you 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.200 didn't get a chance to watch the whole game, but 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.440 you were watching the trade deadline rather closely, and we 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.679 were going back and forth throughout the day. Just want 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.160 to get your thoughts on Brian Cashman simply ignoring the 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.160 problems with this. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:13.600 Roster incredibly frustrating. I'll tell you this, the Luis Garcia move, 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.199 and obviously he hit a home run tonight, had a 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.880 good piece of hitting. I don't hate that move as 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.000 much as I hate the Ramos move. I hate the 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.640 Ramos move. The Garcia move is a little bit clunky 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.079 roster construction wise, because basically, if you look at the stats, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:36.880 like they traded for ben Rice essentially and look, they 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:40.760 needed some offense. They got a bat. Okay, but I 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.559 hated the you gave up Henry l Lane for Ramos? 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.760 Who you know you were saying it before, Derek, like 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.280 he five eleven, two thirty five, Like, the guy is 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:52.880 definitely a little doey. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.640 Well I found out he's actually not. He's actually so 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.800 he's apparently packed with muscle because he he's apparently one 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.040 of these guys who's really jacked, kind of like Domingez 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.160 but looks all right, whatever. 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.160 Fine, whatever. Still, but the guy doesn't grade out defensively 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.520 very well. Strikes out a lot nine homers. I think 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.360 he's he had an il stint if I remember correctly, 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.240 Like I'm really just not and like they needed a 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.439 right handed bat. But to me that that came off 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.280 as a bit of like a panic move. To me, 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.199 like we got to do more than just getting Garcia. 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:26.520 If you were gonna get Henry Lallana, if you were 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.679 gonna get rid of Henry Lalane, I was expecting a 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:34.319 catcher or a relief arm. Now it's funny how Ryan 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.280 Jeffers and Hunter Goodman are the guys that ended up 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.559 not getting moved, and Adley Rushman is the guy who 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:43.520 ended up getting moved to the Red Sox. The Red 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:47.040 Sox who are playing incredible baseball of late, they're probably 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:49.600 the best team in baseball the last month and a 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:53.240 half or so, and the Red Sox, and they're right 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:54.880 on your heels, and the Red Sox end up picking 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.199 up picking them up. And the dude, Eric Miller, Now 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.160 they gave up Marcela Mayor forums and the halls they 0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.040 gave up were enormous. Of course I understand that. But 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:07.400 the Red Sox are actually going for it more so 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.200 than the Yankees are, and they're right on your heels. 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.240 And the Red Sox front office, for as bad of 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.760 a start of the season they had, they are looking 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.800 at the American League and and they're looking at the Yankees, 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:20.480 And to me, they smell blood in the water. This 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.680 is a Yankee team. I just watched them in person 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.920 in Chicago. Go check out the vlog on my channel. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:30.400 I just watched them in Chicago. Basically get They got 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:33.160 no hits essentially for the first like five innings at 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.520 that White Sock game. They looked awful. They can pitch, 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.640 but it's like even tonight, when they hit, they don't pitch. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.680 When they pitch, they don't hit. It's it's just it's 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.480 just mind boggling the fact that you didn't even get 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.520 a catcher. You couldn't get Tyler Stevenson from the Reds, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.920 Are you kidding? Look? 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.320 Ye, Weaver would have been great. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.200 You got Lou That's the thing that even boggles my 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.480 mind even more. You gave up Yovannie Cruz for Luis Garcia. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.200 And again I don't hate that deal, but like your 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:04.920 bullpen is thin now to me, you know, like Curvin Castro, 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.080 that's who you called up, Are you kidding? Look, Derek, 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:11.640 for me, I'm expecting Jason Deminguez to get optioned down 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.040 to Triple A tomorrow for Elliott Ramos. But what I 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.840 wanna see is Anthony Bolpi get optioned for George Lombard Junior. 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.440 You gotta bring him up now. You didn't deal him 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.640 at the deadline. He has to play. He has to play. 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.360 He's been lighting it up offensively in Triple A. Get 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.360 him up here. This lineup needs some juice. This fan 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.080 base needs a little bit of something something. You gotta 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.440 shake things up, man, because that was an f deadline. 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.000 I think in the Judge era, this was a worse 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.240 deadline than twenty three because of the context of the 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:40.960 whole situation. 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.960 Awful undred percent. Yeah, I mean in twenty twenty three, 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:46.800 I mean you could tell that the Yankees were dogshit 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.240 this year at least, like the American League is winnable 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.760 if you made a push and got the right pieces. Now, 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.880 I do think Garcia is gonna help. I think he's 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.760 gonna actually put up some numbers. He's gonna help them 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.640 against righties, and they're gonna face a lot of righties, 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.000 but they're also gonna face a lot lefties because people 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:02.880 are just gonna pick up whatever lefty they can on 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.080 a triple A to go throw slop at the Yankees 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.640 for three four innings, two times through the order and 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.120 get some of these guys out and yes, I do 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:16.000 think Dimingez might get sent down. Uh, and he probably 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.720 should be sent down. You know, he's he has not 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:20.840 proven to be a big league player at this point. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:25.320 And Spencer Jones, let's be clear, has outplayed him. He's 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.600 not hitting for that same kind of average, but he's 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.160 a much better, much better defender. But he can play 0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.640 leftfield or centerfield. And I have absolute full confidence. He 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.720 went over Fortnite. But he's got five home runs. He's 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.880 got a one thirteen WRC plus, so he's been at 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:43.000 least above average. Dominguez, on the other hand, let's see 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:47.720 what his numbers are. He's got a eighty two WRC plus, 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.640 so he's been eighteen percent below league average, whereas Spencer 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.080 Jones has been thirteen percent above league average. Domingez deserves 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.160 to go down, and he can't stay on the base 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.840 when he's when he What good is having blazing speed 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.000 If you're sliding over the bag and getting tagged out 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.040 every fucking time, it is absolutely infuriating. All right, I 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:08.800 have to pay the light bill, dude, I have to 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.000 run a quick ad and then we're gonna finish up. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.680 We're gonna come back and talk to Terrence again in 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:14.960 about sixty seconds. 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:20.520 Today's episode is sponsored by the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance Program.

So I want to 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.000 just talk a Lombard for a second. That old Yankees 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:27.639 guy disagrees with you. He says Lombard's not ready for 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:29.720 big league pitching. He's just now got his batting average 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.520 up to two sixty ish. Give him a little bit 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.119 more time to cook and don't spoil him just yet. Okay. 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:36.240 I want to show you the problem with that. Over 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:40.400 his last thirty games he is hitting three thirty nine. 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:42.879 He got off to an insanely slow start. As they 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.480 always say, it's not linear. This is what they mean. 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.520 He got off to a really, really, really bad start 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:51.639 at Triple A, and he has been absolutely on fire 0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.080 for a month. In his last ten games three oh 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.240 six with a nine to sixteen ops and in his 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.720 last five games three forty eight. In his last four 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.359 for five with three RBIs and on the season and 0:18:04.520 --> 0:18:06.840 eight forty five ops TK. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:11.119 He is ready, dude, It's time. It's time. Do we 0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:16.000 know what he is Defensively? This team needs something. They 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.280 are right Garcia. I agree with you. I do think 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.440 Garcia is gonna do some damage at the play for them. 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.240 I hate the Ramas steal so much. I hate it 0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.560 so much. You were better off not making the move 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.679 and just bringing up Lombard, to be honest with you, 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:31.440 but they need another right handed bat. Defensively. He's better 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:35.080 than both Volpi and Caballero probably honestly. So just bring 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.240 him up here. Just get him up here. It's time. 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:39.760 He's I think when you're looking at minor leaguers two 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.800 to your point, you gotta be looking at them month 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.159 to month. You know, there is an adjustment period. You 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.639 can't be looking at their season overall. So he is 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.560 at this point. The Yankees like to have guys graduate 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.040 the level. Yeah, look at it right there. There's obviously 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.520 that adjustment in May, and then it just projects upwards. 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.520 It's time. It's time. If the Yankees don't bring up 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:03.760 George Lombard Junior in the next week, I will be shocked, shocked, honestly, 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.639 I don't know, Like, how do you not? How do 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:05.879 you not? 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.919 He's my starting shortstop tomorrow if i'm if I'm the GM. 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:11.800 You gotta get some life into this team, bring some 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:14.240 fresh blood. I I agree with you one hundred percent. 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.879 He should be in the lineup tomorrow. TK This, aside 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.760 from the Kenya Mill Middleton, has been one of the 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:27.000 least active deadlines that Cashman has has made us endure. 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:30.439 I gotta say, I think Cashman's time is running out. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.359 If the Yankees missed the playoffs, I mean he stood 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.800 pat essentially, he got one player, one decent player, maybe two. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:42.240 But if they get knocked out early, or if they 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:44.600 missed the playoffs entirely, that's got to the end. It's 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:45.040 gotta be. 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.720 I just don't understand, if you're a house Steime Brenner, 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.080 how you look this fan base in this in the 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.200 face and say we're serious about winning. I don't get it. Uh, dude. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:59.280 The Dodgers are looking to three p and by the way, 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.480 I was shocked the return that Detroit got. I was 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.199 disappointed in Milwaukee, you could have made that deal. But 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.080 you know, the Dodgers are looking to three peet their 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:11.080 hell bent on it. You got the Red Sox that 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:13.360 are going all in on a season where they were 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:17.000 kind of rebuilding and they kept their best prospect with 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:21.680 Roman Anthony. You know, the American League being as weak 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.800 as it is, I mean, this is pathetic and I 0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:27.480 don't want to hear well, Aaron Judge was hurt for 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.879 most of the year. There's no replacing Aaron Judge. I 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.240 understand that. I understand that Aaron Judge is the best 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:37.879 offensive player on the planet. But you wasted this man's prime. 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.920 Look when the Dodgers. Look at the Dodgers. The Dodgers 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.480 are loaded, obviously, but look at sho he Otani for example. 0:20:44.520 --> 0:20:48.680 If Shoeotani got hurt, God forbid for him, got hurt 0:20:48.760 --> 0:20:50.720 and he was out for the season, I don't think 0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:53.880 the Dodgers would dominate like the Dodgers are doing right now, 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.760 but they would still be a strong contender because there 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.199 are other guys in the lineup that can get it on. 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.880 Why is it that every single season, as soon as 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.760 Aaron Judge gets hurt or he slumps a little bit, 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:09.880 that's it. It's over. Other than the Jan Soto year essentially, 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:12.159 and he was healthy for all that year. But basically, 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:15.560 this entire team, the way it's built, is built around Judge. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:17.280 And you do that with your best player. But it's 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.520 not built around Judge. It's completely reliant on Judge, and 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.400 that is not good roster construction. It's not good roster construction. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:28.160 This roster is completely clunky platooning. This platooning that there's 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.520 absolutely no consistency. The players can't get in a rhythm 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.879 coming to the ballpark knowing what they're doing with this 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.000 analytics stuff and analytics. I'm not anti analytics. It's information. 0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.680 It gives you information. It's important to have. But there 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:43.280 is a feel to the game that has to be 0:21:43.359 --> 0:21:46.240 there with this. If George Lombard Junior is not up tomorrow, 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.840 I'm gonna be on. I don't know what I'm gonna do, man, 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:50.000 I'm gonna be tweaking. Bro. 0:21:51.119 --> 0:21:54.000 Yeah. So someone said, how come we don't pay enough 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.199 attention or pay more attention to Ben Rice falling completely 0:21:57.280 --> 0:21:59.600 off the table? Because Ben Rice has been great. He's 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:00.879 been one of the guys on this team who was 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:04.960 actually hit. He's following the normal path of a baseball player. Occasionally, 0:22:05.000 --> 0:22:08.760 you're gonna have slumps, especially when everyone around you goes 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:12.600 down and the entire pitching staff is, you know, focused 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:15.120 on you and not letting you beat them. As gilready mentioned, 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.399 he's seeing like Lefty after lefty after lefty, and they're 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.640
