1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: All right, but it is Saturday, August sixteenth, and the 2 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Yankees were taking on the Cardinals in game two of 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: a three game set. Max Freed was on the mound 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: and looking to write the ship after a couple of 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 1: months of pretty poor pitching. My recap, your reactions coming 6 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,280 Speaker 1: up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. Two hum to two catchil, 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: how's it going everybody? Good win for the Yankees and 8 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: officially a series win for the Yankees because they won 9 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: last night. And this was kind of a tough outing 10 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 1: for Max Freed once again, but because the Yankees offense 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 1: was so dynamic tonight, he picks up a win. So 12 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: he picks up win number thirteen on the season. Good 13 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: night for Trent Grisham. He had four hits and then 14 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: Ben Rice just a tremendous day. Seven are huge go 15 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: ahead home run judge hit number thirty nine. We had 16 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon hitting his first home run. I wanted to 17 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: say in Pinstripes, but in road grades with the Yankees, 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: and hey, Yankees offense picked up the slack tonight for 19 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,839 Speaker 1: some bad pitching. So that's what you like to see. 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: Fifteen hits and it's not often that the Yankees can 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: string together hits like this, so you hope that they're 22 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: able to keep this momentum going for a little while. 23 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: For those of you watching on YouTube, I gotta tell 24 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: you I saw a funny comment here late in the 25 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: game when things started to tighten up. We had a 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: great comment. Somebody said, fortunately Devin Williams has already been used. 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: That made me. I just want to let that person 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: know they made me laugh out loud, because Devin Williams 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: actually came in today in the sixth inning, did a 30 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: great job. He struck out the side after Max Free 31 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: pitched five innings, deal Santos through two really good innings 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: tonight after tough outing recently, and then Mark Leider got 33 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: knocked out of the game, was not able to complete 34 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: the ninth inning, but David Bednar got it done. So 35 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: the Yankees bullpen, though imperfect, was good enough tonight. Let's 36 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: get to the recap. I'll get on with your Saturday night. 37 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: So great start by the Yankees tonight. Single by Grisham 38 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: walked to Ben Rice and then an RBI double into 39 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: the left field corner. Four of the Captain Judge was 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: two for three with two ribbies and two walks now 41 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: hitting three thirty three with a one point one three 42 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: four ops on the year, and that's good because he 43 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: was not hitting at all. And if you're gonna bench Stanton, 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: and I get it, Stanton didn't recover great after playing 45 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: three games in the outfield, is what they said. But 46 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: if you're gonna take Stanton out of the DH spot 47 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 1: in favor of Aaron Judge, he needed to start hitting soon. 48 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: And it looks like he's finally, you know, back to 49 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: what he was before he got injured. Jason had an 50 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: interesting story arc tonight. So ups and downs for the 51 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: Martian opposite field RBI single in the in his first 52 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: at bat in the first inning, and it was a 53 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: second day in a row that he's had a hit 54 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: kind of just like that where you know, he took 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: a pitch that was down her way, just went with 56 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: it and and wasn't trying to hit a home run 57 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: like almost everybody on this team does. Took what the 58 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: defense gave him, picked up an RBI single and then 59 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: he stole second base a couple of minutes later, so 60 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: showing off the speed. But then he also had a 61 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: play in left field that I mean, I'm not saying 62 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: he should have caught it, but he definitely should have. 63 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: I would have pulled up, I mean I would, but 64 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: I think he should have pulled up. I think most 65 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: outfielders would have pulled up on that ball. But he 66 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: tried to catch it, it got by him. He played 67 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: it into a triple, and you know, it just didn't 68 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: look great. The social media was all over on all 69 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: over him. He also got thrown out going to second 70 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: base trying to steal. So a bit of an up 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: and down day for the Martian. But hey, rookie, growing 72 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: pains positives. You know, multi hit game still has a 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: seven to seventeen ops. I think there's a lot in there, 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,799 Speaker 1: but he's got to get better defensively. Max Freed awful 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: to begin this game, give up five runs in the 76 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: first two winnings. He served up a three run home 77 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: run to Mason Win and then he kind of like 78 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: got it together and was able to pitch through the fifth, 79 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: and I thought he was done after five, but he 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: came out for the sixth, ended up getting hit a 81 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: little bit harder, So overall his line was not good. 82 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: We'll talk about him more specifically in a moment. Judge 83 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: Solo home run to lead off the fourth inning. First 84 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: pitch almost got reeled in by the centrefield. They're a 85 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: pretty athletic play, but home run number thirty nine. They're 86 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: starting to say that somebody else might win the MVP 87 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: cal Rowley, and honestly, it could happen. But if Judge 88 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 1: gets hot and leads us to the playoffs, he's going 89 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: to have a strong case for number three. I think 90 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: that we could use one of those months where you know, 91 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: he hits like he did in April, and may I 92 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: get that he's not feeling great and the elbow is 93 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: injured right now, but this is what he's getting paid, 94 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, forty million dollars to do. You've got to 95 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: You've got to turn it on right now, right show 96 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: everybody that you can continue to be clutch. He's he's 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: had a couple of really big clutch hits this year 98 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: in games with the Yankees have lost. But you know, 99 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe put this team on your back for a few 100 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: weeks here down the stretch and get this team into 101 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: October so that he can have a chance to, you know, 102 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: make up for some of what happened last year. Yankees 103 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: finally picked up somebody who can bunt. Jose Cabairo picked 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: up a base hit on a bunt in the fourth. 105 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: Later in the inning, Ben Rice with a massive, massive 106 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: three run home run deep into the right field seats, 107 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: home run number eighteen. And he's probably gonna hit over 108 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: twenty right today he was at first base. He's been 109 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: catching a lot recently. I think he should continue to catch. 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: I think he's better as a catcher. There was a 111 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: ball later on that he really should have caught from 112 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 1: Jazz that kind of handcuffed him, And you know, I 113 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: was kind of surprised at that because as a catcher, 114 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: you're used to receiving and you're used to like late 115 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: movement and stuff like that. So, I mean, it happens. 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: But I think he's a better catcher than first baseman 117 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: defensively at this point, and quite frankly, it improves us 118 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: at an offense in a position where we haven't gotten 119 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: a lot out of Austin Wells. Wells was one for 120 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: five tonight, but I think he's something like five for 121 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: his last fifty three or something like that, hitting two 122 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: h six now. So I think that, you know, even 123 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: when gold Schmid is ready to come back and play 124 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: first base, I think you got to keep Rice in 125 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: the lineup and play him behind the dish. And I'm 126 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: sorry to say Austin Wells only as himself to blame. 127 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: He has not hit enough this year. Trent Grisham picked 128 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: up his fourth hit in the sixth inning, really really 129 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: great day for him and still has an OPS over 130 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: eight hundred, so really good year for him. And also 131 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: he came in to score on a three run bases 132 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: clearing double from Ben Rice, who had seven RBIs today. 133 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: Nice job by Trent Grisham to score all the way 134 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: from first base. McMahon hit his first Yankees home run. 135 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: We had a really nice performance by Devin Williams in 136 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: the sixth inning, and the Yankees hang on to win 137 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: twelve to eight. Oldfield advantage thinks we should give Austin 138 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: Wells a stint at triple ad. J c Ascara takes 139 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: over as the backup with Wells in the minor leagues. 140 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: That is not something that I had on my bingo card. 141 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: Robert ryans as Wells as a backup. He I mean, 142 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: you might be right, You might be right. He has 143 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: not progressed very much. You know, we thought he was 144 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: gonna have a big year after some of the swings 145 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: we saw in spring training, and you know, he hit 146 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: that home run on an opening day, but really just 147 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: not has has not been a good offensive year for him. 148 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: But anyway, we do have some hardware to give out. 149 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: Let's get right to it. Belt winner for tonight, Ben 150 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Rice seven ribbies. He ties Aaron Judge with four and 151 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: a half belts on the season. They split one earlier 152 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: this year. So Ben Rice with his second seven RBI game, 153 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: forty five ribbies, now on the season, eighteen home runs. 154 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and pull up his numbers real quick 155 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: on the year. This is from MLB dot Com. Now 156 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: hitting two forty with a three point thirty two on 157 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: base percentage and eight h four ops, eighteen home runs, 158 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: forty five rbs. I mean, that's a pretty good season. 159 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: If you had given me those numbers for a full 160 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: season for him before the year, I would have said, 161 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: I'll take it. You know, given that he was only 162 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: supposed to fill in for Stanton for a little while. 163 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: The fact that he has hit his way into the 164 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: lineup has been impressive and he continues to rake. So really, 165 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: good night for Ben Rice. All right, So let's go 166 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: ahead and talk about Max Freed, who's er now over three. 167 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: It's up to three point twenty six on the season. 168 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: It's hard not to be concerned about him. It seems 169 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: like ever since that finger problem, he's really had a 170 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: tough time. But really it goes back further than that. Really, 171 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: since the beginning of July, his era is over six. 172 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: He has not picked and it's beginning to be kind 173 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: of a bigger sample size. We're coming up on two 174 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: months of just not being good at all, right, and 175 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons where I'm concerned, Like, even 176 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: if we do make the playoffs, he seems like he 177 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: is he is tired, He is with Garrett Cole out 178 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: and you know, having to step up and and be 179 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: the ace. In his first year, he has been, as 180 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: they say, road hard and put up wet. He is 181 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: hitting the wall for sure, and hitting too many bats. 182 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: So it worries me if you get to the postseason, 183 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: how he's gonna fare. Carlos Rodin has not been the same, 184 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: you know, the last month or so. He's had a 185 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: couple of good starts mixed in there, but his control 186 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: has not been great. So the rotation is starting to 187 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: concern me. A little bit as we hit the dog days. 188 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: But maybe when the weather cools off, you know, these guys, 189 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, feel a little bit better pitching in cool weather, 190 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: maybe regain some life after sure, you know a few, 191 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, an extra day or two off maybe in 192 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: September as they try and keep these guys geared up 193 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: for the postseason. But that's the problem is that you're 194 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: trying to make the playoffs. You really can't be that 195 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: careful with lining up your rotation. So you know, that's 196 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: just the position they've put themselves in. But uh, anyway, 197 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: tough night for Max Freed. Final line five innings, eight hits, 198 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: seven runs, one walk, six strikeouts. Tough night. Let's take 199 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: some voicemails, just the reaction. 200 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek is willish Well. I think Well can kiss 201 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 2: his starting jog goodbye. And I think when Garborough comes 202 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: back three needs to miss the start. I think it 203 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: has something to do with his fingers. 204 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Could be could be the finger, It could be just fatigue, 205 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: could be a lot of things, could be mechanical. I 206 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: think it looks like fatigue, That's what I think. I 207 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: don't think they'd continue pitching if the blister was an 208 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: issue because I mean that's dangerous, like it can become 209 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 1: a problem that you know, pops up again and again. 210 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: I think it's fatigue. And as far as Rice and Wells, 211 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 1: I think you're right on the money. I think that 212 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: Rice has stepped up and Wally pipped Wells. So Wally Pip, 213 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: in case you're unfamiliar, was the first baseman who took 214 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: a day off with a headache for a young first 215 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: baseman to take over his name was Luke Garrick, who 216 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: basically didn't yield it until he became too sick to play. 217 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: Here's Brian Man. 218 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: I love it. They're finding ways to keep getting racist 219 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: bet in the lineup. The dude can slug man. It 220 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: was only a matter of time before he either started 221 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 2: finding some grass or the seats. And good to see 222 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: as the Yankee fan, it really is. It's good to 223 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: see he got robbed so many times this year. On 224 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 2: another note, I'm with you. I can't wait to see 225 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: Ryan McMahon get a hold of one. It looks like 226 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 2: he's he's just missed as he and they've been like 227 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 2: long flyouts left center. 228 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: Well spoiler alert, McCann got it. So Brian was seeing 229 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: the same thing. That I was seeing, and McCann was 230 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: able to hit his first home run as a Yankee, 231 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: hopefully the first of many. I've been, you know, pretty 232 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: impressed with McCann. I think he's exactly as advertised, very 233 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: reliable third baseman. I think there's something in there offensively too. 234 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: He's got a good swing. He reminds me a little 235 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: bit of Eric Chavez with his style. I think that 236 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: there's something in there. Right. He strikes out a lot, 237 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: But if you can decrease that strikeout a little percentage 238 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, maybe raise the average ten 239 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: or fifteen points, maybe tack on a couple of more 240 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: home runs, I think you got a really good player there. 241 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: I mean he's already a really good player, but I 242 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: think you got like the next level player there. And 243 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: maybe that happens just by virtue of playing on a 244 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: better team than he was playing with the Rockies. And 245 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: then here's a final call for the night, Derek, I'm 246 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 1: watching the Yankee game right now. They can't be serious, 247 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: do I keep saying McGain out field long term? 248 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 2: Can they? All? 249 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: Right? So we got to call about Domingos. First of all, 250 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: apologies I keep saying McCann because of Brian McCann. It 251 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: sounds like Ryan McMahon and my brain, for whatever reason, 252 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: keeps crossing those wires, and it's like like the the 253 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: two brain cells I have are just fighting each other 254 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: over which name to say. So apologies, that's gonna take 255 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: me a little while, just like I kept saying Adam 256 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: Warren for Will Warren earlier this year. It takes me. 257 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting old. I'm getting old. I might 258 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: look young and sexy and beautiful, but my brain I 259 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: need prevagen. I need prevagen. Baby. Anyway, I interrupted this 260 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: call about Domingez, but he basically says, are we gonna 261 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: keep running this Dominguez guy out there in left field? 262 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, when Judge is ready to 263 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: return to right field and Bellinger is feeling better, they 264 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: were exactly right. The best outfield right now is Judge 265 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: and r Grishaman center and Bellinger in left with John 266 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: Carlow as the DH. Now. I hate to say that 267 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: because I loved Mingez as a player, and I think 268 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna continue to get a lot of reps, but 269 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: he seems to be the odd man out, and he 270 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: was the odd man out last week. So I mean, 271 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what to say. I mean, I don't 272 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: think it's it's that he's playing himself out of the 273 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: left field spot. I think that's We're gonna have better 274 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: options defensively and offensively here pretty soon. Quick word from DraftKings. 275 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm going to punch myself in the face until I 276 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: learned how to say Ryan McMahon and I'll see you 277 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: in sixty seconds.

So now I 302 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: have three options to mess up this guy's name with 303 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: Ryan McMahon. I'm gonna write it on the blackboard, like 304 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: Bart Simpson five hundred times. I don't have a blackboard. 305 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: I've actually got a whiteboard, but I might install a 306 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: blackboard just so that I can write it. His name 307 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: is Robert Paulson. Now his name is Ryan McMahon. Hope, 308 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: you guys got the Fight Club Reference. Take a few 309 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: more comments here. Mary Beths says, yes, that is the 310 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: best outfield for sure, defensively, offensively, I mean, and Trent Grisham. 311 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: He's probably gonna be gone next year, which will open 312 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: up a lane for Dominguez. You know, Belly will see 313 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: if he comes back. I still think that we got 314 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: to bring him back. I still want to bring him back. 315 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: I think you gotta pay him. 316 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: That's me and his money. 317 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, with the way that Ben Rice 318 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: looks at first base, I would try and bring Bellinger 319 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: back to play a mix of first base and right field. Okay, 320 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: and you trade off with Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge can 321 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: learn the position, get a couple of days off his feet. 322 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: You do the same thing with Bellinger. Swap those two guys, 323 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: you know, once or twice a week, and begin the 324 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: transition Belly and Judge that we got a good first 325 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: baseman most of the time. You know, you easing in Judge. 326 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: You can take a look at him, get him off 327 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: of his feet, take some pressure off the arm. I 328 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: would bring Belly back to do that. I would make 329 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: Ben Rice my everyday catcher. Domingez. I would honestly, consider 330 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: putting him in centerfield. I think he might even play 331 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: center field better than left field. You got Spencer Jones 332 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: possibly coming up. He's supposedly a great center fielder, but 333 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: you also got to be a great outfielder to play 334 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: left field. At Yankee Stadium, right there's a lot of 335 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: ground to cover. But the thing with Dimingez is his routes, 336 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: and I feel like in center field it's easier to 337 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: take better routes because the ball is always tailing away 338 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: from you right unless it's unless it's hit directly at you, 339 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 1: it's always tailing away from you. So it's just I 340 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: always felt like it was easier to judge out there. 341 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: I think his speed would play well. But again, why 342 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: waste all this time with him in left field this 343 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: year if you're not gonna even try him in center? 344 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be on the team. He can hit, 345 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: he's young and inexpensive. He's a good kid. As you 346 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: saw it tonight. Takes what the defense gives him, take 347 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: the opposite field single. But he also has power. He 348 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: had the three home run game. He's improved some from 349 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: the right hand side of the play, but in left 350 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: field he's been a butcher. I mean, let's be on, 351 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: he's been a butcher. Good arm, but a lot of 352 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 1: bad routes. He's cost us some runs out there. So hey, 353 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: you just hope he gets better. Maybe he plays winter ball, right, 354 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Maybe he plays winter ball and they put him in 355 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: left field and say, hey, just focus on your defense, right, 356 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: don't even worry about anything else. Just play hard, defensively 357 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: for a few months. I don't know. We'll see all right, 358 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna call it a night. I 359 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: hope you enjoy the rest of your Saturday. I'm gonna 360 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: go learn how to say Ryan McMahon's name.
