1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: Ladies and Jungle Area. Welcome here. 2 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: S A's it going everybody. I meant to get this 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,039 Speaker 2: out a little bit earlier this morning, but I woke 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 2: up without internet, so it is what it is. We 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: are back online now and everything functioning as normal. These 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: first two games have been polar opposites of each other. 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 2: You know, we had that ten run performance in Game one, 8 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: big big night from Austin Wells with the three run 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: home run, the double off the wall, demingez stealing third, 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,480 Speaker 2: scoring a run, and then last night one of the 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 2: worst offensive performances in Yankees' history. This is from Katie Sharp. 12 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,519 Speaker 2: First time in Yankees' history that they've gotten no runs, 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 2: no extra base hits, and struck out fourteen times in 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: a single game. That's pretty pitiful. So tonight we're looking 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: to Luis Heel on the mound. He's going for win 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: number fourteen. He was exquisite in his first start back 17 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 2: on the Friday night against the Cubs, but unfortunately the 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: Royals are throwing a lefty up there against him. Cole 19 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: Reagan's who's got a three point three to three ERA, 20 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: and I suspect that he's gonna give the Yankees a 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: lot of trouble. This team just does not play well 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: against lefties. And you know it's weird because we got Judge, 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: we got Stanton Torres Volpi, guys who you think would 24 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: hit lefties. Soto hits lefties very well, but somehow when 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: you put them all together, they don't hit lefties. And 26 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: then Thursday we got the Red Sox coming to town. 27 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see what Clark Schmidt can do in 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 2: his second start back from the injured list. He was 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: great first time out on Saturday. We got Nestor pitching 30 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: the next day, returning to the rotation after pitching great 31 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: out of the bullpen, but then sounding a little bit 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: upset that he had to move to the bullpen in 33 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: the first place. That the Yankees have tweaked his routine 34 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: a few times, you know, first on Opening Day and 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: now this. But look, the Yankees have a good chance 36 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: to win this division, but they've got to start hitting. 37 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: They've got to play tighter baseball offensively and defensively. Seventeen 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: games left, and let's take a look at the standings here. 39 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 2: Yankees eighty three and sixty two. They are half game 40 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: up on the Orioles, who won last night. They're ten 41 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: games up on the Red Sox raise out of it. 42 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: The Royals eighty and sixty six, three and a half 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,079 Speaker 2: back in the AL Central, so they're playing hard trying 44 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: to win that division. And then of course the Astros 45 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 2: leading the AL West at seventy seven and sixty seven, 46 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 2: and sometimes how you feel like it's all gonna come 47 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: down to Yankees Astros in the postseason again, you just 48 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 2: get that feeling. So we got a few voicemails, not 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: a lot of voicemails today. Let's go ahead and go 50 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: through them, and then I'll be back with the Nostra 51 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: Derek prediction, and then we'll see it tonight after the 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: game is over. 53 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: I know ya study. 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 3: Hiking up the ball, but do it, Hey, Derek Gude thing. 55 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 3: This is JB from McKinney, Texas, a big Yankee fan. 56 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: What I'm about to say is probably sacrilegious, but I 57 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: believe that Aaron Judge is not what people make him 58 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: cracked out to be, or make him out to what 59 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: people believe he should be. If during the regular season, heay, 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: he puts up all these world numbers, but take a 61 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 3: closer look at his playoff numbers in the Division Series 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: and two hundred batting average in the Championship Series. The 63 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: clubhouse can be like a zoo, and if a person 64 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: is a leader would keep those things under control. 65 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: My god, I get so exhausted by these bizarre Aaron 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: Judge takes. Has he been unbelievable in the postseason? No, 67 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: but neither was Barry Bonds. You know, there's a lot 68 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: of guys who've had trouble in the postseason. A rod 69 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: had trouble doesn't make them less of a great player. 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: A lot of it is you know how carefully you're 71 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: pitched in the playoffs and who you have protecting you 72 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: in the order. And the Yankees haven't had a lot 73 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 2: of protection for Aaron Judge in his playoff appearances. Now 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 2: you talk about his other worldly numbers, you just shrug 75 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: them off. Oh, he's got these other worldly numbers in 76 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: the regular season. But whatever, his numbers are so ridiculous 77 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 2: in the regular season that you wouldn't even get to 78 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: the playoffs if it weren't for Aaron Judge. The last 79 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 2: few years, where would the Yankees be without Aaron Judge. 80 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: Go back and look at the second half last year 81 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 2: when he was injured, how they played. It wasn't really 82 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: the second half, but it was from like June to 83 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: maybe early August. Go look at how the Yankees played 84 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 2: without Aaron Judge. They were crap. And look, he's been 85 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: slumping for the last couple of weeks. He's a little 86 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: bit in between. You know, he was blistering hot, but 87 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: nobody's gonna hit three eighty or whatever it was for 88 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: five months in a row. The fact that he did 89 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: it for about three and a half months is unreal, 90 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: and it's really bad fans that want to get onto 91 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: this guy because he's had a little bit of a slump. 92 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: Come on, let's let's be real about the situation here. 93 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 2: The Yankees would not be anywhere near sniffing the playoffs 94 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 2: if it weren't for Aaron Judge. And for you to 95 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 2: say he's not all that he's cracked up to be, 96 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: that's just a stupid take. He is all that he's 97 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: cracked up to be. Has he had a great postseason 98 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: in his life? No he hasn't. But you know, his 99 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: baseball career isn't over, and there's plenty of opportunities, hopefully 100 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: playing with the Yankees that he's gonna be in the playoffs, 101 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: So sooner or later, he's gonna have a monster series, 102 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: just like a Rod did. You know, just like Bonds did. 103 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 2: You can't hold these guys down forever. But you've got 104 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: a pitch to him, right you know, he needs a 105 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,280 Speaker 2: little bit of protection, And right now, I think he's 106 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: a little bit tired because he's been playing center field 107 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: all year. He's not supposed to play centerfield at his size. 108 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 2: He should be the best right fielder in the game. 109 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: That's who he should be. But the Yankees can't do 110 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: that because Jan Soto plays right field. And the reason 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: they have to do that is because of the John 112 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: Carlos Stanton deal back in twenty eighteen. That's the original 113 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: sin that screwed up the roster. Now Big G has 114 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 2: had a nice year in terms of power, production and 115 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: so forth, but he's sti hitting two thirty something, and 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: he still missed his month and a half with an injury. 117 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: So look, the Yankees have got to figure out a 118 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 2: way to get Aaron Judge back into right field, to 119 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: keep him fresh, to be able to dh him more. 120 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 2: Maybe trade off with Wan Soto if that means getting 121 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: John Carlos Stanton off the roster. This offseason. Much rather 122 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: have Juan Soto than than John Carlo. And you might 123 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: be able to get something for John Carlo because of 124 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: the power he has put up this year. But attacking 125 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge for the Yankees' recent problems just not a 126 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: good take. 127 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, Derek, Robert, another weldy game, bad loss, shutout on three? 128 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Can we sick team ain't going nowhere? I'm sorry, say again, 129 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: he going nowhere? 130 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 2: Robert calls in after every tough loss and says the 131 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: Yankees aren't going anywhere. I hear you, Robert, I hear you. 132 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: But look, it's one game. The league is, you know, 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: showing a lot of parody this year. Every team is 134 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: having issues. The Orioles have had issues, you know, a 135 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: lot of their offensive numbers have fallen off. Their pitching 136 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: hasn't been great, especially in the bullpen. You know, the Royals, 137 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: we just beat their ass two days ago. Didn't hear 138 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: you calling in saying they wouldn't go anywhere then? So 139 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 2: they got shut down last night by a pitcher who 140 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: threw the game of his season, a guy who's had 141 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: a really good year by the way, era under three 142 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: now throws nine different pitches. Yeah, he shoved, but that 143 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily indicate anything about what's gonna happen to the 144 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: Yankees in the playoffs. Now, maybe they won't win the 145 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: World Series. It's really hard to win the World Series. 146 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: It's really hard to win a playoff series. And people 147 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: like you were going to call in and say, well, 148 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: I told you so. But just being negative all the 149 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: time doesn't mean that you're some kind of like, you know, 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: savant on, you know what this team is gonna do. 151 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: They could easily catch fire during the playoffs and make 152 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: a deep run and even yes, win the World Series. 153 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: Quick word from Anytime Fitness and then I'll be back 154 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 2: with we got one more voicemail, not a lot of 155 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 2: voicemails last night.

I don't think the Yankees are going 177 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: to go with a three man rotation in the postseason. 178 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 2: I think they're going to go with the standard four 179 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 2: man rotation. So you gotta throw Carlos Rodin in there. 180 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: And Carlos Rodin has potential on any given night to 181 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: strike out nine or ten guys. And to be really dominant. 182 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 2: He's also got the potential on any given night to 183 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: get hit hard. Stroman I think right now will be 184 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 2: on the roster, but as a bulk reliever. Now imagine 185 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: this scenario. Imagine you've got somebody like Luis Heal scheduled 186 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 2: to start, and either he has some control issues early on, 187 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: or he has some back stiffness. He just had that 188 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: il trip with a stiff back, and you might need 189 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 2: somebody to pitch the third through the sixth or seventh 190 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 2: innings in a playoff game, and you don't want to 191 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: spend your bullpen. That's where you go to somebody like 192 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman and say, give us what you can. But 193 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: you could also go to Nestor Cortez in that situation too. 194 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: I agree with you. I don't think Nestor Cortez is 195 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: going to be in the rotation for the playoffs. I 196 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: like that he can come out of the bullpen and 197 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: be comfortable. He showed it against the Cubs. I know 198 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: that he doesn't want to be a bullpen guy, but 199 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 2: having a funky lefty that can throw strikes and miss 200 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 2: bats and keep guys off balance and can work through 201 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 2: the order at least one time is a big deal 202 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. So my rotation right now if the 203 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: playoffs were to begin tomorrow, Garrett Cole number one, Clark 204 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 2: Schmidt number two, Carlos Rodin number three, and Luis Heel 205 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: number four, and then Nester Cortez in the bull ben 206 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: Mark Stroman either as a bulk guy or off the 207 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: roster completely. All right, onto the no stra Derek prediction. 208 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: This should be a fun one. Yankees facing a lefty 209 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 2: not gonna be easy, all right. My prediction tonight. I 210 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 2: think that Labor Torres will hit a home run tonight. 211 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: There was all that discussion yesterday about whether or not 212 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,839 Speaker 2: he's the worst second baseman in baseball. I think he's 213 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: gonna take that. Personally, I think Glabor Torres going deep 214 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: tonight for the Yankees as they look to take the 215 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: rubber game.
