1 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: On d'tula cattle. 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back to those of you 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: who are returning. You might notice that the pregame show 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: is a little bit later than usual today. Boops. I 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 2: just want to talk, that's all. So I was waiting 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 2: to see if it was gonna get rained out. The 7 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: weather in the Bronx tonight is abysmal. They're expecting rain 8 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: all night long, and they're going to try and play 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 2: through it. I mean, the Yankees announced that they're going 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: to open the gates on time, but that doesn't necessarily 11 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: mean that the game is going to start on time. 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 2: Pretty soon, they'll probably put out another tweet that says 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 2: we don't expect tonight's game to begin on time. But 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: let me translate what all that means for you. It means, 15 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 2: please come out to the stadium if you had tickets, 16 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: buy a bunch of chicken buckets, buy a bunch of 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: sushi for a couple hours before we cancel the game, 18 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 2: and send you all home. That's what that means. But 19 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: that's what they mean when they say the gates are 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 2: opening on time. It means come spend money, Come spend money. 21 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,479 Speaker 2: They're gonna try and get these games in though, because 22 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: the Rangers don't come back to New York and these 23 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: two don't have a lot of consistent off days between 24 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: the two of them for the rest of the season. 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 2: You know, the first Yankees game I ever went to 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: was like this. We lived about an hour away from 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium up near Poughkeepsie, and when we got to 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, it was raining and we had a brief 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: rain delay of I'd say, I don't know, maybe a 30 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: half an hour. It seemed like a long time back then, 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 2: but it probably wasn't. But the tarp was on the 32 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 2: field when we got there. I was bummed because we 33 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 2: didn't get to see batting practice. And then they had 34 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: a rain delay in the middle of the game, probably 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 2: the fourth or fifth inning, and then there was another one, 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: probably about the seventh inning. And at that point, you know, 37 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 2: my dad was like, let's pack it in, let's go, 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: and so we drove home and by the time we 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: got home, the game was still in a rain delay 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 2: and we got to finish the game on TV. It 41 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: was weird to watch a game on TV that you 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: were at live, right, I kept looking to see our 43 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: empty seats, But anyway, I anticipate at least one rain 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: delay tonight, maybe two, maybe a shortened game. Michael kay 45 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 2: is going to be counting down the outs until the 46 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: game is official. Two more ouse and it's an official 47 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 2: ball game. And once there is a rain delay, you 48 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: have to wait thirty minutes until they can actually call 49 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: the game. So that's a possibility too. So I hope 50 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: we're not doing another one am postgame show, but no 51 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: matter what time the game is over, I will be here. 52 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: All right, Let's look at the lineup for tonight's game. 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: So we got Trent Grisham back in the leadoff spot 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 2: in center field, and he seems to be getting most 55 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: of the reps at the top of the lineup lately 56 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 2: when he's in there. His average has been down the 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: last ten days or so, but part of that has 58 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: been bad luck, I think. I mean, he's still hitting 59 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 2: the ball very well. His power has been outrageous this year, 60 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: and I'm just loving what we're seeing from Grisham. You know, 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 2: both the eye test, the metrics, everything looks good for 62 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: him and a lot of people picked him up on 63 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: their fantasy team. Shout out to my buddy Mickey who 64 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 2: picked him up and has been killing it. But also 65 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: I like him getting fastballs at the top of the 66 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: lineup because he seems like a guy who hits fastballs better, 67 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: especially early in the count. Ben Rice went through a 68 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 2: little bit of a funk, but he has picked it, 69 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 2: backed up, back up. Last night a monstrous, monstrous home 70 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: run into the second deck and a sacrifice fly. He 71 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: also had a line drive base hit. He is batting 72 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: second at first base. Paul Goldschmi gets the night off. 73 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 2: I'm never opposed to giving older players days off when 74 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: it's rainy, because as you get older, you're more likely 75 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: to pull muscles things like that, and I don't want 76 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: him slipping and sliding. You know, there'll pop up behind 77 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: first base. He tries to make another great play, and 78 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: maybe he slips and pulls a hammy. We don't need that. 79 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: Anytime you get a chance to give somebody who's in 80 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: their late thirties a day off during the rain, you 81 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: do it. And this allows you to keep Ben Rice 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 2: in the lineup and still kind of keep all your 83 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 2: best outfield bats in the lineup as well, And it 84 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: gives Aaron Judge a chance to DH. He is batting 85 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: third at the DH spot, getting a half day. He's 86 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: been kind of diving all over the place the last 87 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: few days. Even he had a diving catch against the Mets. 88 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: He had a diving attempt last night with two outs 89 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: in the ninth inning. Another guy I don't want out 90 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: there slipping and sliding in wet conditions. We don't need 91 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: him trying to slow down and tweak a hammy. Cody Bellinger. 92 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: Not that anybody we want to get hurt, but like 93 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: the older players and the more important players, if you 94 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: can get him off of the wet surfaces, do it. 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger back in there at the cleanup spot. Will 96 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: focus more on him in a second. He is playing 97 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: right field, where he has been awesome. He's been awesome 98 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 2: everywhere that the Yankees have put him. Dominez back out 99 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: there in left field, I'm gonna spotlight him as well 100 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: in this pregame. Got the night off yesterday against the lefty. 101 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: Tough draw though Jacob de Grom is gonna be tough 102 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: for any rookie to face. I'm looking forward to seeing 103 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: how he plays tonight, whether he gets up for this 104 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: big matchup. We'll talk more about that. Anthony woll Be 105 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 2: batting sixth and he's of course at shortstop. I am 106 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 2: amazed at how many people still call with bad takes 107 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: about Anthony Volpi. A lot of people are confusing not 108 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: being a superstar with not being good. He's good, He's 109 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: just not a superstar. He's a reliable, everyday shortstop. He'll 110 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 2: get you some big hits, but he'll also have some 111 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 2: tough games. Just got to set your expectations with him. 112 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 2: Austin Wells behind the dish. He did gun down a 113 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: runner last night. We do have a lot more people 114 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: that are starting to get frustrated with Austin Wells' offensive 115 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: output occasionally runs into the big home run, but you 116 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: want a little bit more consistency. That's what you're looking 117 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: for out of a hitter is consistency. And whenever I 118 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: talk about consistency, I always use that as an opportunity 119 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: to tell my favorite story or favorite quote about Don 120 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 2: Mattingly and Ricky Henderson. Ricky Henderson showed up late for 121 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: spring training two spring trainings in a row, and so 122 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 2: they asked Don Mattingly about it. They said, what do 123 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: you think he's late again for spring training? And he said, well, 124 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: at least he's consistent. That's what you want out of 125 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:57,799 Speaker 2: a player, consistency. DJ Lemayhew gonna be a tough test 126 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 2: for him at second base. He's any that I think 127 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 2: I would have rather sat on the cold, you know, 128 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: kind of wet, damp night. Don't want him, especially with 129 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: his feet and leg problems slipping around or whatever. I 130 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: would have probably given Parazza another day. But honestly, Paraza 131 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 2: has zero chance against Jacob de Grom. I mean, you 132 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: talk about a guy keeps shooting himself in the foot. 133 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: And we got that call last night from Brian. Another 134 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: fantastic call from Brian. Look, Parazza has had a ton 135 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 2: of opportunities and he just continues to disappoint offensively. Vivas 136 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 2: in there at third base tonight, and you know, I 137 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: have high hopes for him as a hitter. He seems 138 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: to at least have a good approach at the plate, 139 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: at least have a good eye at the plate. So 140 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: that's where we're at with the starting lineup. Let's talk 141 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: about belly. Last fourteen games I hit in every single 142 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 2: freaking one of them, hitting three sixty eight over that stretch, 143 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: twenty one hits. So it's not just a vitamin one 144 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: a day. It's multiple hits in several games, four holes. 145 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: There's that big home runn hit against the Padres. It 146 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: was a high fastball, always with the perma stone look 147 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: on his face. But make no mistake, this guy brings 148 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: the energy to the ballpark. And as he has gotten going, 149 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: the Yankees have gotten going. We got a call from 150 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: Frank about that. 151 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek Frank here California and the Yankees, I think 152 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: in the last twelve or thirteen games or ten and three, 153 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 3: and that really coincides well with the Bellinger's fourteen game 154 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: hitting streak. Those two add up, and will Warren look great. 155 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: We all want Brossis do better, but gush, Jun, he's 156 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: just not cutting it. And Wells has to come to life. 157 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: Wels with a machine earlier on and I don't know 158 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: why he sizzled out, and Trent Grisham is coming back 159 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: to Earth, but hopefully the Marshall will help him take off. 160 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: Anyway, Great, appreciate it. Appreciate it. And you're right, I mean, 161 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 2: since Belly has gotten going, the Yankees have been playing 162 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: very well. They won that Padres series, and then after 163 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: the Padres they had the A's where they basically dominated 164 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: two out of the three games, they won two out 165 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: of three in Seattle. It was close, but they won 166 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: two out of three. And then they beat the Mets 167 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: two out of three, and they won the first game 168 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 2: against the Rangers. Next two days against the Rangers are 169 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: not gonna be easy. But Bellinger hitting has coincided with 170 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 2: some very good play on the Yankees front. All right, 171 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: let's talk about Domingez. He's my favorite March, He's my 172 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: favorite Martian. So Dominguez back in the lineup tonight. Over 173 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: the last ten games, hitting two eighty six. I mean, 174 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: look at the batting run value, the base running value 175 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: both well above average, and it's kind of like the 176 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: opposite of Peraza, right if he could only field his 177 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: fielding run values in the second percentile. He has not 178 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: been good defensively. Hey, he has looked more comfortable, you know, 179 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: he hasn't looked completely lost out there, but still routes 180 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: not great. He does have a good arm, he does hustle, 181 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: He's always heads up. His hard hit percentage is in 182 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: the ninetieth percentile, so when he swings the bat, you 183 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: know he makes contact and hits it hard. His bat 184 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 2: speed is in the top thirty percent of the league. 185 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 2: His walk percentage is elite in the eighty fifth percentile. 186 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: The strikeouts and fifth percentage and chase percentage all not 187 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: so good. What I don't get is that the squared 188 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 2: up percentage is only in the seventh percentile, but the 189 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: hard hit percentage is so high. Imagine if he squared 190 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: the ball up a little bit more, And imagine if 191 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: the launch angle sweet spot was better than the twenty 192 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: first percentile. These are the areas where as a young player, 193 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: as you continue to grow, you get better and better 194 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 2: over time, and that's what improves your numbers. So far, 195 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: hitting two forty one with five home runs. You know, 196 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 2: we're about a third of the way through the season, 197 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 2: so he's got less power less speed than we thought. Oh, 198 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: I say, the speed is there, but the stolen bases. 199 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 2: Right now, he's on pace for about a fifteen or 200 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: eighteen home run season and about you know, fifteen eighteen 201 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 2: and stolen bases. You'd like to see him get twenty twenty, 202 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 2: but I think a lot of people had him penciled 203 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: in for thirty thirty. He has shown flashes of brilliance. 204 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: I love just watching this guy run the bases and 205 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: you look at his spray chart. He hits the ball 206 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: line to line, got power to all fields. And as 207 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: a switch hitter, he's got two swings to worry about, 208 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: so it might take him a little bit longer. I 209 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 2: think a lot of his numbers are dragged down by 210 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: you know, what he's done against left handed pitching. I 211 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: would love to see stat cast only against righty's. You know, 212 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: I don't think they have a way to filter that, 213 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: but I mean, everything's there. The arm strength is elite, 214 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 2: the running speed is elite. You can see why the 215 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 2: Yankees were so high on his tools. We just got 216 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: to see him kind of get going, get into a 217 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 2: good rhythm. And I always like to see what young 218 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: players do when they face a really tough pitcher. And 219 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: you know, you see sometimes against the pitchers who maybe 220 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: aren't so great, they kind of, you know, go through 221 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: the motion, do their things. But somebody who can really 222 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: rise to the acase against a good pitcher is always 223 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 2: something to keep an eye on. Mary Beth says, what 224 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: position was the Martian doing in the miners? Was he 225 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 2: an outfield? Yes, he was playing mostly center field. He 226 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 2: played some left field, but he apparently wasn't a good 227 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 2: center fielder either, you know, I just I hope he 228 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: gets better at it. He has shown me some improvements, 229 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 2: some things to you know, make me feel a little 230 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: bit better, but still a long way to go. All right, 231 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the pitching matchups for tonight. 232 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 2: Jacob de Grom four and one, two point nine to 233 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 2: nine era A. Ryan Yarbrough one to oh three point 234 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: seven zero. And look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, guys, 235 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: the Yankees are clearly clearly at a disadvantage here. That 236 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 2: does not mean that Ryan yarbro can't pitch well, or 237 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: that he can't win, or that the Yankees won't win. 238 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: But the fact is that de gram is one of 239 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 2: the best pitchers in the league. He's healthy, and he's 240 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: he knows how to pitch. This isn't the guy with 241 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: elite stuff who doesn't know how to pitch. He knows 242 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: exactly what he's doing, and he's gonna have a great 243 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: game plan against the Yankees. He's probably been studying him 244 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: for a week, if not more. And you know, Ryan 245 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: Yarborough is a guy who doesn't have a high octane fastball. 246 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: It's really velocity that gives the Rangers their offensive problems. 247 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: He's really a mix and match guy, right, so you 248 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: hope that maybe he can use some of his moxy, 249 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: change some speeds, get some ground balls, keep some guys 250 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: off bases. Maybe you get a rain delay, right, Maybe 251 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: you get a rain delay and it forces de Gram 252 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: out of the game, or the Yankees to do a 253 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 2: bullpen game, and maybe everybody has it. But I think 254 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 2: best case scenario is you get five innings of one 255 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: run ball from Ryan Yarborough and you get Jacob de 256 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: Gram out of the game after about the same You 257 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 2: want to get his pitch count up over one hundred 258 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 2: or close to it in about five innings, And again, 259 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: rain delays can impact that. For every I guess thirty 260 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: minutes or so of a rain delay, it decreases the 261 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: percentage that the pitcher will come back out. Like, you know, 262 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 2: thirty minutes still probably send the guy back out there. 263 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 2: When you start talking about an hour, it becomes much 264 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 2: less likely that somebody's going to get back in the 265 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 2: game who was starting. Once you get to ninety minutes, 266 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 2: it's almost certainly not going to happen. So you know, 267 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 2: obviously the the Rangers are going to be concerned with 268 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: their you know, forty million dollar arm as well. Ryan 269 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: Yarbro is really one of those guys who you know, 270 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 2: you don't really care if he breaks. I mean, you do, 271 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: you do. You don't want him to get hurt, But 272 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 2: he's not. He's not a humongous investment financially, So I 273 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: don't think the Yankees are going to be too worried 274 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 2: about sending him back out after an hour rain delay. 275 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: So all right, let's talk a little bit about our predictions, 276 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: shall we. 277 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: This was Bill Wisha. 278 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: So I am going out on limb tonight. I'm predicting 279 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: two home runs. I got one from Aaron Judge and 280 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: one from Jason Domingez. I think he will run into 281 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 2: a fastball. I think he's going to be sitting fastball 282 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 2: looking to hit the fastball. He doesn't want to get 283 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: to that d gram slider. Lori c is predicting three 284 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 2: for four for Domingz tonight with a home run and 285 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 2: three RBI. I'll take it, and then let's see we've 286 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: got a couple of more. Gregory Wayne says Vivas will 287 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: be a great watch tonight, I hope. So I'm really 288 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 2: looking forward to his at bats too. He's another young 289 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: guy that you want to see get up to, you know, 290 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: get up for a good game. And also the Knicks 291 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 2: play tonight, so this is going to be a game 292 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: where if we do have a rain delay, you at 293 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: least you have something else to watch. Goren says Volpie 294 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: home run, and then Edwin ag says, I think he's 295 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: gonna be on and off showers. I don't know if 296 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: that's a weather prediction, but it's definitely a prediction. All right, guys, 297 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: oh did we just get alert? Bill says, game canceled. 298 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: Let's find out if I just wasted my time doing 299 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 2: a pregame show. I'm not seeing it cancel or rained 300 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: out yet, so that appears to be for now fake news, 301 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 2: fake news wrong. So all right, we're gonna get to 302 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: a quick voicemail or a quick sponsor, and then we'll 303 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: get back with your calls and some com crafts. 304 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 4: I'm gonna let everyone in on a little secret.

Calmsoon, Raleigh. Yeah, a question 328 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 5: about Jonathan Lewis gun Really. I'm really excited to see 329 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: him back, but I'm concerned because it seems like every 330 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 5: time we get him back, he goes down with an injury. 331 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: It seems like, are you concerned or you think he's 332 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 5: gonda battle through it and be shot on a week times. 333 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I always am concerned about Jonathan Lewisega's health health 334 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: because he's such a little guy and he throws so hard, 335 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: puts a lot of strain on his arm. If it's 336 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: not the elbow, it seems to be the shoulder. He 337 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: just had his elbow rebuilt, so I don't imagine that 338 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: will break down anytime soon. But it has happened and 339 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: he is throwing extremely hard. So yeah, I will worry 340 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: about that, but it makes no difference whether we worry 341 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: or not. What's gonna happen is gonna happen, so no 342 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: sense stress not about it. 343 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: Hey, So I wanted to talk about Will Warrens. He's 344 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: obviously he's looking good now. I think he has them 345 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: looking good. Of course, he had a few bad starts, 346 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 1: but if you look like like Louis Field, he has 347 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: the will be bad start last year one would be 348 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: or nothing. The Warren will be Rookie of the Year. 349 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: But I'm saying that he's he's pretty good. Lucky to 350 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: have him. I don't think I mean, I don't hope 351 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: he'll be traded because he's one of my favorite players 352 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: right now. But yeah, I think you all him an apology, really, 353 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: and so glad that you turned to the Will Warren 354 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: ten side. 355 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean I want I root for the laundry, right. 356 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: I want the Yankees' uniform to do well. And that's 357 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 2: why precisely why I will call out players who are 358 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: not getting it done, but also why I root for 359 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: them to get better. And once they are better, I 360 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: will one hundred percent admit that I'm wrong because I 361 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: want the Yankees to succeed no matter who's on the field. 362 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 2: And look, I'm not going to compare him to Louise Heel. 363 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: What he'l did last year, especially while Garrett co was 364 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: out when he I believe ten and one with an 365 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 2: ERA round two was insanity. I think that's too much 366 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 2: to ask of another rookie to do a second year 367 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: in a row. But if he can just keep posting 368 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: starts like he has been, you know, where he's solid 369 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: and keeps us in the game, I think the Yankees 370 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: offense is good enough to you know, win a lot 371 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: of those games. Hunt Truff says, we all owe him 372 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: an apology. We do in my whole life. Dante says, 373 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: did I miss the predictions?
