1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: All right, that's it to fail you.

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh wow, she wanted to talk, that's all. Today is Saturday,

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: June fifteenth, and the Yankees were in Boston to take

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: on the Red Sox in game two of a three

5
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: game set. Carlos Rodin was on the mound and looking

6
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: for his tenth win of the season. My recap, your

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: reactions coming up next this and why why recaps?

8
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: Welcome dude, you pull me back. How's it going everybody?

9
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Tough loss.

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 2: Juan Soto enthusiast hits it right on the money tonight.

11
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: He says, it's like as soon as we score, they score.

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 2: And sometimes it's like that, baby, I mean, uh, this

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: is one of those nights where the Yankees just couldn't

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 2: get any kind of momentum going. Every time you would

15
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: think that they were starting to rally, the rally would

16
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: fizzle and the Red Sox kept tacking on. But I

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: hope it didn't ruin your saturday. I hope you had

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: a good Saturday. My best friend got divorced today, so

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: we spent the day celebrating. Carlos Rodin was not celebrating.

20
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: He got roughed up five runs in the first two winnings,

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: and basically that was the ballgame because the Yankees only

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: got four runs in the game. Yankees did threaten a

23
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: couple of times, loaded the bases a couple of times,

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: Lon Soto went deep, but ultimately the pressure from the

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: Red Sox offense and the basically inability for the Yankees

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: to get the big hit was the different. Stanton had

27
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: a couple of singles but failed to come through with

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: some runners on base. Volpi continues to slump. He was

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: zero for five today. He's down to two sixty seven

30
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: with the average. DJ Lemayhew drove in three runs, but

31
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: they were some of the softest runs that you'll ever

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: see in your life. Bloop single to right field and

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 2: then a blown double play that ended up a fielder's choice,

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: which you do get an RBI on. If it was

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: a double play would have been NOBI And just like that,

36
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: the series is even rubber game tomorrow. By the way,

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: the Orioles won today, so they beat the Phillies. That

38
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: series is also tied one one. I'm gonna try and

39
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: catch Game three tomorrow and get a little bit of

40
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: a scouting report on the Orioles and how they're playing

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: as we prepare to take them on this week at

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. Still no word yet on Garrett Cole. He

43
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: obviously had the rehab outing yesterday, had ten strikeouts. There

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: is a chance he could start in that series against

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: the Orioles, So cross your fingers. Rodin was going for

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 2: win number ten today, maybe next time. And if you

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: believe in do he was actually due for a bad start.

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: He's been red hot over the last seven outings, seven

49
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: to zero with a two point two eight ERA. But

50
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: he takes the loss tonight, and tonight was just a big,

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: fat steaming pile of do do. Frank Quarraws in the

52
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: chat with the Dexter Morgan profile, love it. He says,

53
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: poop emoji show and I con cur, sir, I concur.

54
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: Seemed like every pitch that the Red Sox swung at

55
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: for the first couple of innings was a double. He

56
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: settled down in the third inning and you know, kind

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 2: of pitch better from there on out. But there was

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: already water in five compartments and the ship was going

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: down at that point. Meanwhile, Yankees' offense wasted some big opportunities.

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: Wells continues to swing and miss at every curveball that

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: comes his way. I'm starting to think Austin Wells might

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: have some trouble hitting a breake the ball in the

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: big leagues. Not everybody can do it. And usually catchers

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: are pretty good at it because they can, you know,

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: they see a lot of breaking balls. But he is

66
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: not good at hitting those breaking balls down and end.

67
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: He's got a.

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: Hole in his swing. To borrow a phrase that you

69
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: don't hear much anymore. He's kind of like Tom Selleck,

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: you know, with the shooto at the beginning of Mister Baseball.

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: No chance, but it is what it is. You're not

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: gonna win every night. Yankees drop a tough one down

73
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: on the farm. Another home run from Augustin Ramirez. Augustinez,

74
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: he's got sixteen now, it's the most in the Eastern League.

75
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: And he's got a legitimately amazing swing. And there's actually

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: some hints of Gary Sanchez in there. Gary Sanchez always

77
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: had a pretty good swing, especially when he was first

78
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: on the scene at the major leagues. It was more

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: his pitch selection. He would swing at that slider down

80
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: and away and pull off of it trying to hit

81
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: home runs. Ramirez swinging the bat really, really well. Jason

82
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: still swinging the bat well at Triple A, hitting three

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: ninety four in Triple A right now, Ben Rice hitting

84
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: three forty three since his promotion. Oswald Perraz is still

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: at one seventy nine with four home runs. Another guy

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: who missed spring training, so I'm gonna cut him some slack.

87
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: He also had some injuries and so forth, so you know,

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: you never know what's lingering. He might not be one

89
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: hundred percent just trying to get to the big leagues.

90
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: So you know, I'm not gonna eat his lunch over that.

91
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll get going soon. We might see him at

92
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: some point.

93
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: All right, Chad is filling up. Let's get to the recap.

94
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's get it going.

95
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: Hamla Davis with the first cojed point of the night.

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: She says that Augustine needs to go to Triple A,

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: and I concur one. That's the second time I've concurred

98
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: with something in this podcast already. Red Sox jumped out

99
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: to an early three to nothing lead, three doubles, a walk,

100
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: in a single off of Rodin in the first inning.

101
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: He was just throwing meatballs. It was a lot of

102
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: two strike hits. He would get to two strikes, but

103
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: he just couldn't put anybody away. Yankees got immediately to

104
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: work when they came back base it by Stanton, walk

105
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 2: by Rizzo, bloop single to right field by Lemayhew and

106
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: it was three to two. And at that point I'm thinking,

107
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,559
Speaker 2: all right, well, this is going to be one of those,

108
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: you know, ten, nine, thirteen to twelve type of Fenway

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: Park games. And it just didn't work out that way.

110
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: Second inning, Red Sox were all over Rodin again. Another

111
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: two run double made it five to two, four doubles

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: in the first two innings off of Rodan. After that,

113
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 2: he kind of settled down, started throwing his curveball more,

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: started getting more swings and misses. But like I said,

115
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: five compartments were full and lifeboats were coming off the

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: ship and that baby was gonna sink. At that point,

117
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: Yankees loaded the bases for Stanton in the fifth. I

118
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: thought we might have a little bit of a deja

119
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: vus of his Grand Slam from a few years ago

120
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: in Fenway, but he struck out on three outside breaking pitches,

121
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: ugly swings ball.

122
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: That's our three top five.

123
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: Went without incident. Yankees threatened but did not score. Bottom

124
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: five Rodn got through it and he was done after

125
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: five innings, and the final line on him was seven hits,

126
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: five runs, all of them earned, three walks and seven strikeouts.

127
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: On the season, his ERA is up to three point

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: two to eight, so over that three point zero mark,

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: it's hard once you get roughed up a couple of

130
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 2: times to get it back under three because you basically

131
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: got to throw, like, you know, seven shutout innings a

132
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: couple of times.

133
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: But you know, decent.

134
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: Years so far, he's now nine and three, so three

135
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: point two eighty RA overall, those are pretty much all

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: star caliber numbers.

137
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if he'll get it or not.

138
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: Eighty five innings pitched, eighty one strikeouts, twenty three walks,

139
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: one point one to one whip. But like I said,

140
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: he was due for a clunker, and uh, you know,

141
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: he gave us one. Top seven won Soto cut the

142
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 2: lead to five to three with a little opo bopo

143
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: over the Green Monster Loo. Initially it was ruled in

144
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: play and it would have been a double, but it

145
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: was overturned on replay. Eighteenth home run of the season,

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: first home run since his four arm injury became public.

147
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: That cut the lead to five three, but the Red

148
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: Sox got the run right back in the bottom of

149
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 2: the seventh. Saw Greg Weissert out there tonight. He was

150
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: part of the Verdugo trade, obviously x Yankee and his

151
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: beard is out of control. Dude looks like he hasn't

152
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: shaved since the trade. Yanks got their fourth thrown on

153
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: a basis loaded fielder's choice off the bat of DJ

154
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 2: Lemayhew third RBI the night, but again all soft RBIs

155
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: and then the Red Sox answered back with a crooked

156
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 2: number and that was that. Yankees dropped a tough one.

157
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: Good day third.

158
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: You ain't first your laugh, David s says, Jeter stuck

159
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: it to us with Stanton. There's a great passage about

160
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: that trade in the Yankee way. I'm not gonna spoil it. Uh.

161
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: The new Andy Martinez book about the Brian Cashman era

162
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: about how Derek Jeter approached John Carlos Stanton to make

163
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: that move, but Yankee swooped in and got him. You know,

164
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: at the time, I was very excited about Stanton because

165
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: fifty nine home runs MVP. You never know when somebody

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: has a season like that. If it just clicked. He

167
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: was always that guy with crazy exit velocity, enormous physical skills.

168
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: Judge had just hit fifty two home runs, and you're thinking,

169
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: you know, maybe major League Baseball unlocked something with huge players, right,

170
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: Maybe it's one of those weird analytical things where they

171
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: figured out, if you take a guy who's six foot six,

172
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: six foot seven, and you give him the proper bat path,

173
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: then they're gonna hit fifty home runs.

174
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: They just figured out, you know, like I don't know

175
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: how they figured out.

176
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 2: If you you know, break you know, if you throw

177
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: a sweeper and a fastball from the same arm slot,

178
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: guys can't recognize it whatever. And so I was excited

179
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: about that, But in the back of my mind, there

180
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: was that little devil on my shoulder that was saying,

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: he's got a thirteen year contract. He's been playing on

182
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: astro turf. Big guys don't last long in the major leagues.

183
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: He's still not a good hitter, So there were there

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: were obviously things that were warning signs. Struck out five

185
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: times in his Yankee Stadium debut. Look, Stanton has always

186
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: been accountable. He's been at Yankee, He's been extremely clutch.

187
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: He was huge in the twenty twenty postseason. That home

188
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: run here off of Tyler Glass now in San Diego

189
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: is one of my favorite home runs ever. The home

190
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: run that he hit on top of the restaurant, I

191
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: can't remember if that was. I think it was earlier

192
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: this year. Four hundred and eighty three feet might have

193
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: been last year. All the years blend together now, but

194
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 2: he has hit some monster shots. He hit that Grand

195
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 2: Slam against the A's. He's I mean, he's got enormous power.

196
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: He's so much fun to watch when he's on. But

197
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 2: then there's nights like tonight where you know, he hits

198
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 2: a couple of singles, all right, But you get him

199
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: up there with guys on base, and I know he's

200
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: hitting like three hundred or close to it with runners

201
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: in scoring position.

202
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: In two outs. I know that.

203
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: But you throw him a certain type of pitch, if

204
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: you execute it, he just misses by so much that

205
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: it's it's frustrating. You know, I know he's better than

206
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: you know. I give him credit for a lot of times.

207
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm kind of tough on Stanton because I don't like

208
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: when guys chase pitches that are like two feet out

209
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: of the zone. It's just frustrating to watch. It's just

210
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: it's just aggravating, you know. And I know, you know,

211
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 2: I'm obviously a guy who's rooting for Dominguez to make

212
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 2: it in the major leagues, and I think he's gonna

213
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: be a big star. And it kind of bothers me

214
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 2: that Stanton is clogging up that portion of the roster

215
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: when in reality it should be Judge and Soto at

216
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: the d H spot and Dominga is out in center field.

217
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I'm just maybe a little bit

218
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 2: bitter on stand. But he does have a lot of

219
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: big hits for us. He's always been a great Yankee.

220
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: He's very accountable, and some of his at bats are

221
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: just uncompetitive and that's just what we're gonna have to

222
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: live with. And his body's breaking down. He can't run,

223
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: he can't play the field. So it's a been a

224
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: bit a bit of a mixed bag with John Carlo

225
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 2: so Fred fred Berger says, Derek just laid it out. Yeah,

226
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: I went on a little bit of a rant there,

227
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of a little bit of a John

228
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,239
Speaker 2: Carlow rant.

229
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a few more few more.

230
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: Common Pamela Davis says, when is John Birdie coming back?

231
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: I miss him so John Birdie. He obviously left with

232
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: what looked like a really bad leg injury. They called it,

233
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: I believe a calf strain, but if you remember, it

234
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: looked really severe. He went down in a crumple and

235
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: had to be helped off the field. So I'm not

236
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 2: counting on him being back anytime soon. Honestly, if we

237
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: get him back by August and keep him healthy, be

238
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: nice to have a contact hitting third baseman who can

239
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: pick it going down the stretch because I think that

240
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: DJ is probably gonna wear out.

241
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, those feet.

242
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: Once you start having feet problems, it's a whole downhill.

243
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 2: Ask Dion Sanders, you know, asks Shack. So many guys

244
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: over the years have had feet problems and just never

245
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: been the same. I can't think of, you know, off

246
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: the top of my head, any baseball players, but I'm

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: sure there were. You know what, Actually, I think Kenny

248
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Lofton had like turf toe or something and he had problems.

249
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 2: Jason Giambi he had plantar fasciitis for a while and

250
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: it just nuked him. When you have we have long

251
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: term foot injuries. You know, I just question how much

252
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 2: power you're gonna have, how much you're gonna be able

253
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 2: to drive the baseball because everything starts from the ground up.

254
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: And you know, having John Birdie back as a contact

255
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: hitter will be nice. Now will his legs be totally healthy?

256
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: Right?

257
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: Will his calf be fully healed? Or is it gonna

258
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: be one of those lingering problems. You know, he's in

259
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: his thirties, he's thirty four to thirty five years old.

260
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: He's not no spring chicken, so those things can linger. Anyway,

261
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: Let's get to it. Jan So to enthusiastays Orioles gain

262
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: a game. So let's take a look at the standings

263
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: as of right now. Yankees now fifty and twenty three,

264
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: Orioles forty six and twenty four, game out in the

265
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: lost column, two and a hal half games back overall,

266
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: Red Sox thirty six and thirty five. Rubber game will

267
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: be tomorrow. Marcus Stroman on the mound, Blue Jays thirty

268
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: four and thirty six, and raise bring it up the

269
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 2: Rhea at thirty three and thirty eight. See throughout the

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: American League, it's really the Yankees and the Orioles with

271
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 2: the best records and then everybody else. You know, the

272
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: Guardians are forty four and twenty four, but I don't

273
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 2: know if they've got what it takes to sustain that

274
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: hot start. I think the Royals might overtake them. The

275
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: Mariners off to a pretty good start. They're gm or

276
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: President of Baseball Ops to Poto said that they just

277
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: want to win fifty four percent of their games. That

278
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: pissed off a lot of the fans. They're at fifty

279
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: seven and a half percent right now, forty two and

280
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: thirty one. Philly's obviously taken on the Orioles this weekend.

281
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 2: They're off to a great start, forty seven to twenty three.

282
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna win that division. Braves have struggled. They lost

283
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 2: a Kunya for the year, They've lost Spencer Stryder for

284
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: the year. Nats actually playing close to five hundred ball.

285
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 2: They've got some young guns coming. Mets off to a

286
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: tough start. They're just kind of a dumpster fire. I

287
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: don't see them getting much better. In fact, I think

288
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: they're winning percentage, which is currently at four sixty four,

289
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a lot closer to forty percent or

290
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: even low or by the time the season's over, because

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: they're gonna mail it in pretty soon, and Marlins obviously

292
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: breaking it down. They're terrible already. Wave the white flag.

293
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 2: Brewers first place in the NL Central forty one and

294
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: twenty nine, six and a half game lead on the Cards,

295
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: who have played better as of late. They got off

296
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: to a tough start, so they might not unload at

297
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: the deadline. They don't break it down very often. They

298
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: usually add and are aggressive, so it'd be interesting if

299
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: they unload any of their players that teams would have

300
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: interest in. Reds thirty four and thirty six, Cubs thirty

301
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: four to thirty seven, Pirates thirty three and thirty six.

302
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: The entire NL Central is in competition for.

303
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: The wild card.

304
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Wild Card is literally living up to its name this

305
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: year wild in the NL Central, and then the NLS

306
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: Dodgers lead by seven and a half over the Padres,

307
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: who are at five hundred. Dodgers at forty three and

308
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: twenty eight, Padres thirty seven, thirty seven, defending NL champs,

309
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: the d Backs under five hundred, Giants under five hundred,

310
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: Rockies way under. So that's your look at the Major

311
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: League Baseball standings as of right now, Age says DJ

312
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: is done done. I have to say, unfortunately that it's

313
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: it's not looking great for DJ. Not a lot of

314
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 2: hard contact. He still looks good at third base, he

315
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: still looks good at first base. The defense is still there,

316
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: but we're gonna need to get some production out of

317
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: the corner infielders. I haven't seen much from Rizzo. Obviously,

318
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: he had a couple of good games. You know, he

319
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: had the home run and a multi hit game. I

320
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: didn't see much from him tonight and over the last month.

321
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: It's just been kind of, you know, like I don't know.

322
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the beginning of the end

323
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: or if it's just he's done too. If both of

324
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: these guys are done, the Yankees are gonna have to

325
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: figure it out in the next few weeks and go

326
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: out and get somebody because you need more production from

327
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 2: the corners. All right, let's take a few more comments,

328
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: final thoughts.

329
00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: That is gone. David Smith says, what's your bigger priority?

330
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: First or third? Bullpen or closers.

331
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 2: I think the bullpen, honestly, I mean Pamela mentioned John

332
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: Birdie earlier in the podcast.

333
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: They will get him back.

334
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: I think he's capable playing third. You know, first base

335
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: would be nice, but you can go to Ben Rice. Honestly,

336
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: I would not hate it if the Yankees called up

337
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 2: Ben Rice. But the bullpen, you're just not gonna find

338
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: like a dynamic bullpen arm in the minor leagues right now,

339
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: unless you like convert somebody like Clayton Beeter.

340
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 1: To the bullpen. You know, I think I would probably go.

341
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: I think I'd probably go out and get a top

342
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: flight reliever, maybe somebody like Garrett Crochet. He'd probably be

343
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: my number one target if I were the GM right now.

344
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: Classic Pablo says, go out and get Alex Bregman. That's

345
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 2: an interesting thought. I don't know if the Yankees would

346
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: do it. Let me see what kind of year Alex

347
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: Bregman is having, because he is gonna be a free

348
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 2: agent after the year and the Astros are off to

349
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,719
Speaker 2: a tough start. I don't know if the Astros are

350
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: gonna give up. I think they might try and re

351
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: sign him. So Bragman right now hitting two forty with

352
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: nine home runs. He's got a one point two war

353
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: three h three on base percentage seven to ten ops.

354
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: That's a very hitter friendly park. There in Houston with

355
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: the trash cans one oh three ops, so he's not

356
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 2: having a great year. He got off to a really

357
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,640
Speaker 2: slow start, so he's probably played a little bit better

358
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: as of late.

359
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I might pass a diena on Bragman.

360
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: I just don't.

361
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 2: I don't want to have to pay the Astros price

362
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 2: for him, and I don't know.

363
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: How much he's gonna give you.

364
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: He seems to be pressing a lot, kind of like

365
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: DJ or kind of like Labor is in his contract year.

366
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 2: But he does have nine home runs, so maybe a

367
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: little bit of thump. David says, no thanks on Bragman.

368
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: I think I would pass on Bregman. I think, you know,

369
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't want to give him away, sure,

370
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: but the Astros are close enough to a wild card

371
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: spot or they're gonna be that they're not gonna want

372
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: to break it down, so you'd have to overwhelm them

373
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: for Bregman, or at least, you know, pay a fair price,

374
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 2: and I uh, I don't want to do that. I

375
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 2: think I'd rather go with Bertie and and Rice on

376
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 2: the corners, and worst case scenario, you know, you run

377
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 2: Rizzo out there and hope that he hits hope that

378
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: he runs into one in the playoffs. You know, he

379
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: might be done, but it might be something in there.

380
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: He does have, you know, eight home runs I think,

381
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: so the pop is still there. It's the question of

382
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: whether or not his timing is screwed up because of

383
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: that concussion, which.

384
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: Is what I worry about. All Right, ladies and gentlemen,

385
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: we are gonna call it a night.

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: We got a game tomorrow, Game three against the Red Sox,

387
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: rubber game. Yankees are off Monday, I believe, and then

388
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 2: the Orioles come to town.

389
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: So gonna be a.

390
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 2: Fun week here on NYY Recaps. If Garrett Cole comes back,

391
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: it'll be on Wednesday, probably, so stay tuned for that

392
00:19:42,359 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: and we'll see you next time. Go Go,
