1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: One of the talk. That's all. 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back, and welcome to 3 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: my guest tonight, my friend and fellow Yankee fan rayfon Seka. 4 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: You might know him from what was it One Life 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: to Live? Or my super ex girlfriend or. 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: Always telling me you were. 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: In some alien movie too. What's the alien movie that 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 2: you were in? 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: It's called Lights Lights. So I was only in it 10 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: for two minutes because I wrote it and I produced it, 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: but we did it non union at the time, so 12 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: I gotta be like in the background, like nobody see. 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to get kicked out of there. I 14 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: was just like I got appear in my own movie, 15 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. 16 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: Well, the probing scene only takes two minutes, so. 17 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: We have one of those. Actually, we have the guy 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: that the guy that made our alien was the guy 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: that did like three hundred, like the big monster with 20 00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: the one eye. So the same guy that made it. 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: Remember going in his garage that's like all this stuff 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: is laying around. I'm like, oh shit, oh shit. Have 23 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: you made the level thing from Legend with Tom Cruise? Yep. 24 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: I'm like that's fucking awesome. 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 2: Nice nice, well yep. 26 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Fergie kids here. 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: Four games in a row if we win tonight. I'm 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: feeling not so great about it because we got to 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 2: Crochet last time. But he typically doesn't have two stinkers 30 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: in a row. And Yarbro got shellacked by the Red 31 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: Sox last time out. He gave up eight runs in 32 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 2: four innings. They were all over him. In general, tonight, 33 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 2: I'm not in love with the lineup. We'll talk about 34 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: it in a minute, but I gotta say I'm just 35 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: not feeling great about tonight. I am anxious to see 36 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: Roman Anthony tonight. One of the top prospects in baseball. 37 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: Hit a five hundred foot home run last week in 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: the minor leagues, but hitting eighty three since he came 39 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: up to the major leagues. We've got Domingaz back in 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: the lineup, Jazz is out of the lineup, and no 41 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton tonight. Are you hoping to see Big 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: G tonight? 43 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: I was? And you know what, I I you know what? There, 44 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you why, And it's because of the 45 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: way I feel that they're front loading the lineup too 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: often on a daily basis. Right like when we signed Goldschmidt, 47 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: we weren't like great, Now we have our leadoff man. 48 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: You know, the guy's betten three forty two, and it's 49 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: like that's great. But if he's thirty eight and he's 50 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: a perennial MVP candidate RBI machine, you're batting him leadoff 51 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, then when after judge we kind 52 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: of are a mix of two hundred to one ninety 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: hitters to the next five spots in the order. On 54 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: most months, I feel like kills rallies right because yet 55 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: it can easily be two one, two, three innings and 56 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: we're back on the field and it's you know, it's 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: hard to get peop momentum that way, I think. 58 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 2: And I'll point out he's not hitting three forty two anymore. 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 2: It's it's kind of gone unnoticed because Yankees keep winning. 60 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: But he's down at three thirteen. He has dropped. He 61 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: got a big hit last night. So I've never loved 62 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: Goldsmith in the leadoff spot. You and I talk about 63 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 2: this privately all the time. They haven't tried Volpi in 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: the leadoff spot this year. I would love to see 65 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 2: him get some opportunities up there. I think he has 66 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: patient at bats. He's got the speed, you know, that 67 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 2: would allow you to go righty, lefty, righty, tonight righty, 68 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: left e, righty left e righty. I mean you could 69 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: if you wanted. Even DJ LeMay, you've been swinging the 70 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: bat pretty well. I wouldn't mind him in the leadoff 71 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: spot with gold Schmidt in more of a especially in Fenway. 72 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: Don't you want gold Schmidt like in a run producing 73 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 2: spot in Fenway? And we all though against against power pitchers, 74 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: you got to get him early, right, I mean, you know, 75 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 2: let's let's get some guys in the three four five 76 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: spot that are righty power hitters exactly. 77 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: And I almost kind of feel like, you know, why 78 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: did you get Goldsmith besides the defense, right, why'd you 79 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: get him? Because that's an MVP form of winner. That's 80 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: a vet bat, a tough out. So why wouldn't you 81 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: put him after Judge protecting Judge? And That's why I'm 82 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: glad I was hoping Stanton would be back, because at 83 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: the very least, it gives us that extra bat that 84 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: you can't necessarily pitch around Judge or like plan ahead, 85 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: you know. And I feel like the thing about this is, like, 86 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: you know, uh, listen, Pillow, Yankee fans. Let me just 87 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: make this clear right now. I'm very happy with how 88 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: we're playing right now record wise. I like the lead 89 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: that we have, I like the standing situation. I like 90 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: how ass and booboo the rest of our divisions. Right 91 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of, you know, sugarcoats our own flaws at 92 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: times where we can kind of get by having Pablarayis, 93 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: Escara Perrazza all on the same team at the same 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: time and last night in the same lineup. But my 95 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: point is that, man, I want to see a lineup 96 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: that does not change except for the extreme places in 97 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: the order. Okay, And I kind of look back right 98 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: and it's like you can't look at Boom because it's 99 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: it's like something. But no, it's like try this, and 100 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: it's just like, all right, guess what. Every time we've 101 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: seen the Dodgers, whether we throw a lefty, whether there's 102 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: a lefty in a bullpen, it doesn't matter. O Tani 103 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: leads off Freeman's baton third months, he's bat and fit. 104 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: They're coming for you, man, They're coming for you. And 105 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: their hitters do that, and that's why they don't flinch 106 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: in those types because they know, yeah, left left to you. 107 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: So what what did old time you do? Get two 108 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: jacks off a free you who's like, you know, just 109 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: because man, just because because they're not thinking, oh lefty 110 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: left your match, just the seat ball, hit ball and 111 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: just you know, pound on people like that, and I 112 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: feel like we don't have that. So then what happens 113 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: is when we get to the playoffs, like I feel 114 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: like we're in Rocky three, you know what I mean, 115 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: Like like like we're just you know, Mickey setting us 116 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: up with a bunch of bums and we're knocking them down, 117 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: thinking that we're all good and there's no problems in 118 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: Rocky world, right, But then we get the club or 119 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: lang And that's what the Dodgers were last year, like 120 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: a buzz. So it wasn't that they were that much 121 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: better than us. They just kept playing consistent good baseball 122 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: and waited for us to not. And that's because you know, 123 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: it's it's who's gonna bat leadoff. It's like you can 124 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: plan ahead how to fuck with Aaron Boone's head game, right, like, Okay, 125 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: we're gonna throw a lefty. He's gonna change the whole lineup, 126 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like it's silly to me, 127 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: Like I just I really don't like And that's why 128 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: I hope Stanton's back, because then I know it's Judge 129 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: stant in the middle, and he doesn't deviate from at 130 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: least that, so at least that stays consistent. 131 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: Well, let's go to the lineup tonight. Let's take a 132 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: look what we got here. So we got goals from 133 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: leading off. As we just mentioned that Ben Rice, Ben 134 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: Rice batting second, and you brought up a stat before 135 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 2: we got started. He's hitting about one eighty versus lefties 136 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: and hitting second in the order against Ben Nice left 137 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: year game. 138 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: He's batting one eighty with a two thirty six on 139 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: base percentage against left handed pitching this season. And Dominga 140 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: is ironically enough as batting one eighty with a two 141 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: eighty two on base percentage this year against left handed 142 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: pitch like Ben Rice has played. I think it was 143 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: something like thirty eight games against left handed pitching this year. 144 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, You know, like, I love the guy. 145 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: I appreciate how excellent he started the year and then 146 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: he's you know, he's kind of dipped a little bit 147 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: average wise, but he's tough at that, you know, always 148 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: barrows the ball like you're saying, you know last night, 149 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: like he's he's a good he's a hitter, he's a 150 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: ball player. I like him a lot. But at the 151 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: same time, he's another guy that would look great in 152 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: the six hole right behind Stanton or Judge or you know, 153 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: or Boltsman in that four or five six slot and 154 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: give me, like said Boltby, was it twenty six doubles? 155 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, he got twenty one? 156 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, he's got an off yes, like 157 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: nine eighty six in the last month, like like he's okay. 158 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: Put him in the lego spot. Why, because I mean 159 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: he's supposed to be He's the kind of guy's supposed 160 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: to be there first to third, score from first, that 161 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. Goldsmith's not that guy. And what's gonna 162 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: happen is you end up getting this guy hurt putting 163 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: him in the lego spot being on base when jud 164 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: Rip's a double and he's trying to score, or alternately, 165 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: we won't end up scoring because he won't make it 166 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: all the way around the way Volpi would or one 167 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: of these guys would. 168 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if I agree there. I think, I mean, 169 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,559 Speaker 2: he seems to run the basis pretty well, it seems 170 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: pretty flexible. But yeah, let's continue with the line up here. 171 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: We got Judge batting third, obviously back in the line 172 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: up hitting playing right field, hitting third, Bellinger in center field, 173 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: hitting fourth, Volty at shortstop. Did you catch that play 174 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: he made last night, that little backhand Jeter esque play 175 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: against the slowest runner in baseball that everybody was like. 176 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: You know of in your backyard with your friends going in. 177 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: Jeter turns like, yeah, he was up for recD. It's like, man, 178 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: he could have rolled the ball and beat But I 179 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: like the kid. I trust him. I trust him to 180 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: give me his best effort. And that's more than I 181 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: could say of pros, so that you know, you can 182 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: play for my team any day. 183 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 2: Do Mingez batting sixth. I love Domingez. I think he's 184 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: going to be an MVP someday. Don't love him in 185 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: the lineup tonight against Crochet. I thought he was overmatched 186 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 2: against Crochet. He got a couple of hits earlier this 187 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 2: week against lefties, but there were bloops. He did hit 188 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: one hard, but then he hit a couple of hard outs, 189 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, maybe he's maybe he's coming 190 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: around maybe the second look, he'll do better. That might 191 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: be something the Yankees are just interested in seeing, Hey, 192 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: how does this kid improve start overstart, like one week 193 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: apart against the same dominant pitcher. Maybe that's just something 194 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: that they want to find out, Right, let's find out 195 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: if he's getting better, you know. 196 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: And that was and then the main things I wanted 197 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: to to dischedule you about him specifically, I just you know, 198 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: I wrote some notes down. I was just like, you know, 199 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: give the kid a chance to build on his good 200 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: performances and then also learn from the mistakes he makes, 201 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: but still be in the lineup to you know, counter 202 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: that with some more good stuff, you know, And when 203 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: you're not gonna play him, he better be the first 204 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: guy you put in the pinch run or the first 205 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: guy you put in the pinch hit. Why because I 206 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: want him to get used to doing all of these things, 207 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: even if it's in piecemeal, like get used to that, 208 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: because you know, when it comes to October, we're gonna 209 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: want this. I don't want to redogle situation. Well, you know, 210 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: we gotta go with the defense, and the guy's hitting 211 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: dribblers down the line the whole season, Like, give me 212 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: the guys that are gonna be the toughest outs for 213 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: the other team to get on us, because when we 214 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: do that, we really pound the shit out of people sometimes, 215 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: and then the next night they do it to us. 216 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm just like, I don't I don't understand, Like, how 217 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: could you be so good one night and so bad 218 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: the next night and it just seems like it's it's nothing, 219 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: And I think that shit's gonna add up and shock 220 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: the shit out of us right on the chin and 221 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: come in October. They don't make some moves because you 222 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: It's like Tiger would say, Now I'm good enough at golf. Yeah, 223 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: I don't need to practice. I'm good on that. No, 224 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: you're talking about practice, right. The Dodgers won the World 225 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: Series and added what like a billion dollars to the payroll. 226 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: You're never perfect. You're always gonna need more yours. You 227 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: need help. 228 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: That's a point that So that's the thing that I 229 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: think Yankees fans miss most about George Steinbrenner as supposed 230 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 2: to Ali steinbern Yeah, Hall Steinbrenner spends, but George wouldn't 231 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: stop spending. That's a difference. 232 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: Right. 233 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: You can, like, you know, you can buy an expensive car, 234 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 2: which is what Hal has done. Or you can buy 235 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: expensive car and keep adding like rims and adding like 236 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: seat covers and adding exactly exactly exactly. 237 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: So that's having five potential Hall of Famers, like four 238 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: guaranteed Hall of Famers on the same team, and then 239 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: add Cecil Fielder and add Dave Justice. Say this guy 240 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: and that guy, and it's like you didn't say it, 241 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Like that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Right, 242 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: look at the Dodgers they have, but they basically, let's 243 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: just say, they dog walked us a little bit right 244 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,199 Speaker 1: when we played them last and they had one point 245 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: six billion dollars on the d L Like can you 246 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: imagine that? And that's just depth. It's I don't look 247 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: at it like overkill or like you know, gluttonous, like 248 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna we don't care about the money. 249 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: It's if guys are gonna get hurt more and more 250 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: and more and more and more more and more often 251 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: as well, then you know what, I don't want Pablo 252 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Reya's as my alternative when somebody goes down. I want 253 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: a Justin Turner or this guy or that guy, or 254 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: Brian Reynolds or you know, anybody. You know what I'm saying, like, 255 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: just just not guys that don't belong in the pros. 256 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we got to finish the line up here. 257 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: We got Wells who I thought swung the bat really 258 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 2: well in case and and I think he did well 259 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: against Crochet last time out right, he hit a home run. 260 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: It was a kind of a hang hanging breaking ball, 261 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 2: but still home run. And then Peazza. Let's just face it, 262 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 2: he's going oh for four tonight. So that's the line 263 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: up for you tonight. Let's talk about Aaron Boone because 264 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: I know you're gonna have some some break there in 265 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 2: front of us. Some feelings on him. I would say that, 266 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: aside from Simon Rosenthal, who calls in occasionally, you might 267 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: dislike Aaron Boone more than anybody I know. But this 268 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 2: is year eight. He has taken us to the playoffs 269 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: a bunch of times. I think he's an okay manager. 270 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 2: I don't I don't hate Aaron Boone. I fire him 271 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: a couple of times a year on the podcast, obviously, 272 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: but but I agree with you that the lineup decisions 273 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 2: are strange, and I would prefer some consistency in the 274 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 2: lineup too. And maybe when Stanton comes back and he's 275 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: the d H every day, maybe does get more consistent. Great, 276 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: but I feel like we need a consistent one, two, three, four, 277 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: five at least right. I can live with six through 278 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: nine being a little interchangeable, but give me a leadoff 279 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: guy every day. I mean, even if it's Rice in 280 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: the second hole against lefties, I don't care like let him, 281 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: you know, I feel like he'll hit like I want. 282 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: I want some I want some left handed power in 283 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: the top thirty order. Sure, so if you're gonna go 284 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 2: with Volpi or you know, uh, even Goldsmid, even though 285 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: we're not a fan of that, or Lemayhew or whoever 286 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: at the top of the order, Uh, you know, I 287 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: liked I still like righty lefty, righty lefty Bellinger. I 288 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 2: like him in the fourth spot where he is tonight, 289 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: just because, uh, you know, it does allow you to 290 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 2: to kind of go righty lefty, righty lefty, and then. 291 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: Right numbers are against lefties in the last Like how 292 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 1: it's changed over the last week or so. But I 293 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: remember checking a week or two ago, and he's back 294 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: like three eighteen versus lefties or three h eight vers 295 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 1: lefties this year, and I'm like, I don't understand he's 296 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: not hitting for great power this year. But he's hitting, 297 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: he's getting good hits. He's you know, he's just a 298 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: damn good ballplayer. Man. He's never gonna hurt you. I 299 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: don't think he's hurt us one time this year. Even 300 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: if he hasn't hit, he made a play. He's always 301 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: done something to help the game go along. I feel 302 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: like he could even be a leadoff candidate for me. 303 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: That that makes sense because he can run, you know, 304 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: he's not easy out, you know, something like that. But 305 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: I really feel like the thing about Boom that bothers 306 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: me that there's man, it almost seems like it doesn't Matt. 307 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: There are no stakes to the game. No matter what 308 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: the game is, He's just gonna okay. That's that. This 309 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: should be this, this should be that, this should be this. 310 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: Un let's roll the dice and see how this goes where. 311 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: It's like when we're playing the Dodgers, then like, should 312 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: we throw Rodana on Sunday? Yes? You know why because 313 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: I want to punch you in the mouth so that 314 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: October comes my team remembers we can fight you that 315 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: we're you. 316 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 2: Know, to be fair, they won that game. They won 317 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 2: that game with yard Brough to be fair, to be fair. 318 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 2: But I agree with the mentality. The mentality is sometimes 319 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: it's different than the results, right, I mean, I agree 320 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 2: with you. He doesn't go for the killer for a lot. 321 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 2: And how many times did we see a couple of 322 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: years ago and to the point where he had to 323 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 2: get away from this? Theanks would win the first two 324 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: games of the series and then they would punt game three. 325 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 2: They punt game three almost every week, almost every Sunday. 326 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: When you got kids in the ballpark, you're putt in 327 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: like you know, nobody's out there, right, and it was, 328 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: oh god, it was awful. But yeah, I agree with too. 329 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: You said, we've made the playoffs all these years, right 330 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: with him? Right, how many of those years do we 331 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: have home field advantage throughout the playoffs? 332 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 2: That's a good point, and that's because the lack of. 333 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: Urgence funting games and maybe we'll have a five game 334 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: leader and now it would have been you know, game 335 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: one and game two in the Bronx and not in 336 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: La or you know all the times with Houston what 337 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: happened we had they had home field advantage, and why 338 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: and it was only a matter of like five or 339 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: six games. And what were you doing? Punk thing? Every 340 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: chance you get, like, you know, I want to get 341 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: this guy arrest, to get this guy arrest. It's like, no, man, 342 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: every I don't remember. Do you ever remember a time 343 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: where it did it matter who we were facing it was, 344 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: you know, let's say Jeter in the leado spot or 345 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: Jeter in the know block, Jeter O'Neill, Williams Desada. It 346 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: didn't matter if Jesus came off the cross and was 347 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: thrown with both arms. That was the lineup. There was 348 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: no like, oh, what do we do now? And that's 349 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: my point. And I look at it like, you know, 350 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: today Gristram's a lead off and then he's betten fifth. 351 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: I was looking at those numbers. He's betten three ninety 352 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: three in the nine hole this year. 353 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what's he hitting out of lead off? Especially 354 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: what's he hitting out of lead off the last month? 355 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: Like we were talking about this in the quote unquote 356 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: green Room Tomorrow and acting parlance. Yeah, he has really 357 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: really regressed offensively. I mean he still picks up his hits, 358 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 2: but he was out of his mind on fire and 359 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 2: now he's still hitting lead off even though he's cooled off. 360 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: And you compared him to Aaron Hicks, which I thought 361 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: was a great, great comparison to like just kind of 362 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: how he kept getting at bats when yeah, how yeah, 363 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: hell he kept getting at bats even though like the 364 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: production had fallen off. Now we just got done saying, well, 365 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: we went the same lineup every day. But to be fair, 366 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: Grisham was never required to be our leadoff man, right, 367 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 2: he hid his way into that role, and he doesn't 368 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: play every day. I want a consistent one through five 369 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: that play one hundred and fifty games together, right, That's 370 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the ideal scenario. And part of that's 371 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: on Cashman for you know, not arranging the team that way. 372 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: But I feel like you've got a tailor mate, like 373 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: the people who play every day should be in the 374 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: same spots, like Volpie. That's kind of why I want 375 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: him at the top of the lineup because he's in 376 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: there every single day no matter what. Right, And he's 377 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 2: got speed, and I think that if he learns how 378 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: to be a leadoff hitter, he could be a good one. 379 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: And how would he do how would he go about 380 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: doing that? There by batting you off a little yea, yeah, exact, 381 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: Here's what I understand. So you have gold Spit leading off, 382 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: and then you have the kid that you don't trust 383 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the leadoff batting fifth almost every game. He's batting fifth tonight, 384 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, well wait is that it right? Like, well, 385 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: why is he batting fifth and not seventh or this 386 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: last day? Well, he has good numbers against lefties. Okay, great, 387 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: then why isn't he leading off? Because here's the thing 388 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: like hate when the boon is like, you know, why 389 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: do you bat rice lead off? Like you realize that 390 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: we have a thirty eight year old first basement who's 391 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: batting the leadoff most times out of anybody in the 392 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: team this year. And then the other two next in 393 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: the line are two left handed catchers that can't that 394 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: run with grand pianos in their back pocket. Okay, and 395 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: what's the reason for it? When they asked him, well 396 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: why because he rakes? Because he rakes? Great, you know 397 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: where that should be to drive guys in because guess 398 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: what if you have two guys that run like dump 399 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: trucks in front of judge, he's not always They set 400 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 1: up the lineup as if for when Judge hits a homer, 401 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 1: for when Judge hits a homer and not what if 402 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: he hits a single and a double in this how 403 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 1: do you how do you create runs that way? You know? 404 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing about it, where it's 405 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: like I want the line to be the same, just 406 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: so that guys, it's not a different mentality. You're not 407 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: thinking about where I'm batting today and what my job 408 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: and how it changes. You're thinking just about who am 409 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: I playing today? All right, let's get after it, boys, right, Yeah, 410 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: I know, you know because tool hitter, a guy it's 411 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,399 Speaker 1: on pace to hit what twenty seven home runs or 412 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: something like that. You're saying, let Rice is on face 413 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: hit twenty six home runs and like eighty rbs right. 414 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: Side a little over so we can see your face. Man, 415 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: stay in, stay hit your mark, actor, man, hit your mark. 416 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: All right, we're gonna we're gonna talk. We're gonna talk 417 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: trades real quick, because, uh, this is one thing that 418 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: we talk about a lot, is I don't know who 419 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: that guy is this year. You know, most years it's 420 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: it's pretty clear, right, even when it doesn't work out. 421 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,880 Speaker 2: It was Frank montass It Sonny Gray, it was Joey Galla, 422 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 2: like there was somebody that the Yankees were clearly interested in. 423 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a guy this year that 424 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 2: they're necessarily locked in on. I mean I've heard Meryll 425 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: call Kelly's name thrown out there. I mean you still 426 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: hear names like like, yeah, you still I think so too. 427 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: I mean I would love to stack him in our 428 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: rotation in between Freed and rodn I mean, how nasty 429 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 2: woul that one, two, three B and then Luis Heel 430 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: is a number four, and that allows you to put 431 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: Clark Schmidt and Will Warren in the bullpen to stretch 432 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: it out in case you have a blowout in the 433 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: playoffs or something like that, or in case you need 434 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: like extra innings, you can go to Clark Schmidt. 435 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, actually, I actually feel like those two 436 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: guys might have to leave town in any trades that 437 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: we make that are gonna. 438 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: Be Maybe it's possible. I think Warren both. 439 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: Young, the ares controllable, they both you see the potential there, 440 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, it taxes our 441 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: bullpen that much more, especially the way Boone you know, 442 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: is driving. You know, he's just kind of like throwing 443 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: darts with the bullpen most nights. That if you have 444 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: guys that are back to back starts that throw five 445 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: innings on average only then okay, that's you know, basically 446 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: half the game. You know he's going to that bullpen, 447 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: and when Yarborough is in the rotation, he can't be 448 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: here long man, like Miro Mendoza used to be. So 449 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, one thing leads to the other, 450 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: and I'd really like to see Merril Kelly. I'd like 451 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: to see He's thirty five years old, expiring contract right exact. 452 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: So what I'd like to see them do is start 453 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: trying to make moves now, not at the deadline when 454 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: other teams that are just like, hey, they're like, screw 455 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: it here here start three top prospects right just for 456 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: like what they did for Tanner Scott right the Padres kid, 457 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: but three of their top ten prospects for Tanner Scott 458 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: and then he went to the Dodgers in the off season. 459 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: I don't want us to do that just to get 460 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: a guy. So I feel like if you do it earlier, 461 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: you can kind of get away with, you know, being 462 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: first in and even if you have to bid against yourself. 463 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: David Bednark, great call. Now he's on my list too. 464 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: That's a guy I feel like that we could sort 465 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: of rehash, you know what I mean, like fix them 466 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: a little bit because he's had some struggles. But power, 467 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: right arm, we need power. I need to get rid 468 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: of the guys like Ian Hamilton and and you know, 469 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 1: guys like that that are just like, you know, he 470 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: was great when he forgot here, and it was kind 471 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: of like it almost looked at it like how come 472 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: this guy's nobody wanted this guy? You know, it seems 473 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: seems great. And then it's like, oh, now I get it. Okay, 474 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: you know these are guys that these are guys that 475 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: you can't you know, if you're gonna do the oh 476 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: this guy pitched this day. This guy pitched this day, 477 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: so we can't use we can't use him this day. 478 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: It's like, hey man, you know, then the playoffs come, 479 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: we'll use them every day, you know, and waste them out. 480 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: So it's like, let's just win the games we can win. 481 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: And I feel like the dominant bullpen is probably where 482 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: we need to focus on for the playoffs. For the trade. 483 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can't I mean, I can't argue with 484 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 2: hitting another starting pitcher either like that, I think pitching 485 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: is gonna be where it's at. The Yankees offense, as 486 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: much as we like to crap on, it is generally 487 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: pretty good, if not like a little bit jumbled. I 488 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 2: think they're gonna score runs and pitching is at such 489 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: a premium in the playoffs, right, I mean last year 490 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: you could argue the Yankees a large reason why they 491 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: got to the playoffs or got to the World Series 492 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: was because their starting pitching was healthier than everybody else. 493 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: But Merril Kelly six and two with a three point 494 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 2: one eight e r A. I mean, we looked at it. 495 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: He was last year. Think Merril Kelly's so like, you know, 496 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: he was like A. I don't know if I don't 497 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: think he had Tommy Donne. He's like thirty thirty six 498 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: years old, and you know he's got a devastating curveball. 499 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: You know, he's still throwing in the mid eighties. You know, 500 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: a veteran, just a guy that can give you six 501 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: or seven innings, go get it, get after it. And 502 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: even if he's not the guy that's gonna give us 503 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: six innings in the playoffs, let's face it, most starters 504 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: don't go six inning the playoffs. It's becomes the chess match. 505 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: They have to like the fourth or fifth innings. So 506 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: but for the rest of the season, I think that 507 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: helps keep a little energy in the tank for our 508 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: pen by having some guys that you know can go 509 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: a little extra distance. I'm also really looking at guys 510 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: like Red Detmers on the Angels, who's become went from 511 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: a starter to a reliever, and he's shoving right now, 512 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: like left these right. He's like, he's looking great, you know, 513 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: and I that'd be cool because. 514 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: It's a high ra the metrics look really good. That's 515 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: a really nice that's a really nice call. That seems 516 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: like a cashman move. Like he's he's the only twenty 517 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 2: five years old. He's been a starter in the past, 518 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: but he's he's a reliever now, twenty nine a third innings, 519 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 2: thirty seven strikeouts, so he can miss bats, but also 520 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: a whip of one point five to three. You look 521 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: at the walk percentage, it's in the bottom third of 522 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: the league, but he gets misses. 523 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do it. 524 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: He started the year as a starter and then they 525 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: transition into pen so that's not really his reliever numbers, 526 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: that's kind of his all encompassing numbers. So I don't 527 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: know how much that. 528 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: Well he has a start, he hasn't made a start 529 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: this year. He might it might have been it might 530 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 2: have been spring training where he hasn't made a start 531 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 2: this year, no game started. 532 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: I also think like another guy, I'm not sure if 533 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: they'd be willing to trade him or not, but Matt 534 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: Brash on the Mariners when we played the Mariners, like 535 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: he made us look foolish. I forget who was that striking? 536 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: Was Vulpi? I mean the pitch was like ten inches 537 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: off the plate and he tricked them and got him 538 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 1: the swinger. And he's always been a good guy, but 539 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: he's kept getting hurt. And I feel like that's always 540 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: hurt the Mariners. It's that Brash and Munos. One of 541 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: them is always having arm trouble and they never have 542 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 1: them going into the playoffs, both of them, but together 543 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 1: those guys are lights out. And I feel like Munos 544 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: is only twenty six years old. You're probably not going 545 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: to get him in a trade, nor would want to 546 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: do that because you have Weaver and he's a free agent. 547 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: You're gonna resign him obviously. He's our guy, clearly, but 548 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 1: a guy like brash, you know, throwing mid to high nineties, 549 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: throws nasty. And I might be crazy here, but I 550 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: think if you're gonna check in on people, check in 551 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: on Kenley Jansen's. 552 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: It's an interesting idea. All right, we're gonna get a quick. 553 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: Word cutter cutters, great Yankee Stadium. It's you know, it's 554 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: better than I think. 555 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 2: He wants to keep playing out West though he likes 556 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 2: it out west. He's a West Coast guy. But you know, 557 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: we'll see, I mean, maybe come comies for the playoffs. 558 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: We're gonna get a quicker work from our. 559 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead. 560 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: Lagron legron Hey. I found out it's called legron Hey 561 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 2: A job a Chamberlain move. 562 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 563 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: I like that idea. Let's talk about that. Let's talk 564 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: about that after the after the ad from Harry's, and 565 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 2: we'll we'll talk about internal solutions. In baseball, as in life, 566 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: it's all about having that extra edge, that little extra 567 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: half second of a swing, the late break on us slighter, 568 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 2: or the grit to outlast your opponent on a hot afternoon. 569 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 2: Same goes for shaving. Harry's gives you the edge where 570 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: it counts. I tried the five dollars trial set, and honestly, 571 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 2: it's like the ace of my bathroom rotation. The handles 572 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: weighted just right, the razor is smooth, and the foaming 573 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: shavegel lathers better than anything I have used before. I 574 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: keep my beard tight around the jawline, clean edges, no irritation. 575 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: Harry's handles it with ease. Even the packaging is big league. 576 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: And their body wash, I've got the redwood set. It's 577 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 2: like a fresh cut field on opening day. Get the 578 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: edge on your shave with Harry's razors. Normally their trial 579 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: set is ten dollars, but right now you can get 580 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: it for just five dollars at Harry's dot com slash stripe. 581 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 2: That's Harry's dot Com slash stripe for a five dollar 582 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: trial set. We got to comment here from Joanne who 583 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 2: says that bro the Mariners aren't moving muon yos anywhere. 584 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: I know that, but that's part of the fun of 585 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: the trade deadline. 586 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Is just talking about they won't. That's why Brash might 587 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,679 Speaker 1: be available, because he's a free agent to be and 588 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: the guys twenty six. 589 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's just it's fun to throw names out there. 590 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I see people talking about Paul Skeans. Let's 591 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: be honest, Paul Skeans is going nowhere. The Pirates just 592 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 2: aren't gonna make them. They're not gonna trade somebody who 593 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 2: brings kids to the ballpark, even though he doesn't fill 594 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: the stadium, Like he gets young fans excited to watch him, 595 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 2: and he's he's like the face of their franchise. I 596 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 2: think they'll move him before he becomes a free agent, 597 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: for sure, But they're not gonna move him with four 598 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: years of control. 599 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: No, yeah, no, They're gonna milk some early Jersey sales 600 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: exactly what exactly they can get. And then the second, 601 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's the second it's worth it to them. 602 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: And but it's funny. I could see a team like 603 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: the Dodgers just coming and going, here's five dudes, here 604 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: take them. Why yeah, because we have we have He's 605 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: Sung Kim on the bench that is hitting four hundred. 606 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: He plays once a week. You know our guys that 607 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: played once a week, you know used to drive uber 608 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's how that happens, Like. 609 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 2: I used to drive Uber. 610 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: We all did when it started, and you realize you 611 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: don't want strangers in your back seat, you know, hammered 612 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: It's like, I don't want to do this anymore. 613 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: But did I ever tell you my my Uber vomit story. 614 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you this. So someone someone in my 615 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: back seat opened up the you know that little like 616 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: it's like for maps and stuff, that little pocket that 617 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: they put behind. Someone pulled that open and puked in 618 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: it like a vomit bag, and and just fucking I 619 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: heard it.

I know that the 635 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: plane rides are great when he's on the team. The 636 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: bus rides are probably great. The locker room all that 637 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: stuff's probably great because he's the kind of guy that 638 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: you like, you know, it kind of reminds me of like, 639 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: you know, a guy like like a Swisher or something 640 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: like that.

Cool, it's trade him and then 647 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: you know, sit there and go, I think Ben Rice 648 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: should be getting more bats at catcher. The Scars should be. Sorry, man, 649 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: like you know, just go back to the miners. Well, 650 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: coy back up, we need you. But exactly right now, 651 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: we need to see right now we need to see 652 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: the goon squad, right, we need to see how it looks, 653 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: how it wells out. Here's the problem. 654 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 2: What moves to me if you if you send down 655 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 2: a scar Rice can't get the requisite at bats then 656 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 2: he needs because you can't have both of those Rice 657 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 2: and Wells in the lineup, like at the same time, 658 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: you gotta have one backup catcher. So I think they're 659 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: gonna carry three catchers with one of them being Rice, 660 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,479 Speaker 2: and then Rice is gonna be moved around like he's 661 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: gonna get some some time at d H. He's gonna 662 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: get some time at first base. They might even trying 663 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 2: in the outfield once or twice. You know, I can 664 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: see him trying them trying at third base. He's gonna pinch. Yeah, 665 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: he's gonna pinch hit. He's he's gonna get it bats. 666 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 2: But again he needs a consistent position. Hopefully next year 667 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 2: he'll be our our first baseman. But any final thoughts 668 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: before we take off this year? Yeah? 669 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: Sure, who do you think? Uh, who's who's placed the 670 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: Stanton take when he comes back? Who's gone? Is it Reys? Yeah? 671 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna just just daftim. I mean, why people, 672 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: what does he add like last night he had his 673 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 2: best game and it was because he fell down like 674 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 2: an idiot running from third to home and across the 675 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: guy to rush the throw. 676 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: Well, he's just one of those guys that if you know, 677 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: if they didn't send them down or nothing, but he 678 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: just stopped showing up like off of space, like no 679 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: one would notice, you know what I mean, Like he's like, 680 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: where is that. I haven't seen him in a while, 681 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: Like no one noticed. You know, he's not an infielder. 682 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: He's not a good outfielder. You know, he had a 683 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: good spring training, but so did Spencer Jones and we 684 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: haven't seen him, you know. I mean, if that's the metric, 685 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, oh you're gotta do a good spring training 686 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 1: and you can sit the bench all right. 687 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 2: Spencer Jones continues to struggle with the strikeouts at Double A. 688 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: I'm not sure he's ever gonna really be a major leaguer. 689 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. He's twenty five years old, right, 690 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 1: he's twenty four. Twenty four, Okay, so Judge came up 691 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: when he's twenty six. Now again, I'm not trying to 692 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: know the thing. 693 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: Judge came up when he was Judge came up when 694 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: he was twenty four. I'm pretty sure. 695 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, like for the first cup of coffee or whatever, 696 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: and then the next season was his legit rookie year. 697 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: But I for that reason, Okay, well, if Grisham is 698 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: starting over Dominge is in most cases and doing all this, 699 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, he's a free agent at the end 700 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: of the year. That's when I bring up the Aaron 701 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Hicks thing. You're gonna give a guy a seven year 702 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: deal again because he's good on defense again, you know 703 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: what I mean? And then because you have to justify 704 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: the contract of the plane. So I'm like, I'm looking 705 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: at it like, Okay, if Jones is never gonna realistically play, 706 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: then you know what, then he's got to be a 707 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: of a deal with Clark Schmidt or somebody that isn't 708 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: more enticing. And you know, like, is Arius ever gonna 709 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: play because we have Jazz now, and then we're gonna 710 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: haven't hit. 711 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: Aris is hitting like one to eighty in the minor league. 712 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 2: He he can't hit at all, and he cannot hit 713 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: at all. 714 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: Right, here's the here's the thing. They said the same 715 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: thing about Jorge Mateo. 716 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: And while HE'STEO can't hit. 717 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: He can't. But at the same time he'll back to 718 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: forty and steal thirty forty bag, you know what I mean. 719 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: He's not a bum is my point, you know what 720 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Where it's like he's hitting. 721 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 2: One, like eighty with a negative war, right, he's hitting 722 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 2: one eighty. 723 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: When he was like, you know, like not not this year, 724 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: but i mean like when he came out of our system, 725 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying, like they're like, man, we have guys that 726 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: we should just get rid of because if we're not 727 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: gonna let them play, then it's almost dead weight to 728 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: keep them in the minors and not trade them. And 729 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: as much as I'm always say let the kids play, 730 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: let the kids play, it's coming abundantly clear that when 731 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 1: you look at the roster structure of the payroll, in 732 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: the contracts that lengths, there's no place for them to play. 733 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: So get rid of them and maybe let's win, you 734 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's it's like that roll of 735 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: the dice crapshoot thing. They're doing just enough to keep 736 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: getting to the playoffs, and all they have to do 737 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: is make this move or that move that's not that 738 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,040 Speaker 1: big of a deal, and man, we could start with 739 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: the overkill and like have you know some weapons in 740 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: the thing and not have it be like, oh, it's 741 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: game seven the left he's pitching. All well, then I 742 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:18,719 Speaker 1: guess on lineup it's gonna be this, this, and this, 743 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: just because it's no man like put out your best 744 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: every damn day. And I feel like that's the thing. 745 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: Make statements. I don't care if it's April. I don't 746 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: care if it's June. You only played the Dodgers a 747 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: couple of times, You only play the Mets a couple 748 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: of times. Only the Boston maybe more than them the 749 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: other two teams, but less so than before, right, you know, 750 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: playing the National League way more. Okay, I want them 751 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: to remember how we kicked their ass and didn't let 752 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 1: up in April in September. Why because we know it. 753 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: They know it. And then you're not going, well, we 754 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: better do we need this? We need that now, You 755 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: know what, You need a lot more than just adding 756 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: a couple of players. If you're not, if you're punting 757 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: games against rivals that matter on national television, like, man, 758 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: that's how I know it's on autopilot. That's why I'm 759 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: not a fan of Boom. I'm sure he's a great guy, 760 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Hey, you know what, there's 761 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: a lot of the world needs plenty of bartenders, all right, Yeah, 762 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: I don't need I don't need his judgment. And I 763 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: feel like we get by on a lot on talent alone. 764 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: And you see when Judges in the lineup last night, 765 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: I was like, man, something gonna drop in, somebody, get 766 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 1: someone steal base It's like it's like baseball seems to 767 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: stop because they designed everything around Judge's potential and his projections. 768 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: When it's like, yeah, who who about a third last night? 769 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 2: I don't remember, don't I don't remember.
