1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: All right the tip. It is Sunday, September seventh, and 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: we are halfway through the Gauntlet. The Yankees were finishing 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: up a series with the Blue Jays, the Rubber Game. 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: I got Terrence Cam here with me to talk about it, 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: my recap and your reactions coming up next. This is 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 1: Pinstrip Territory him to talk. 7 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 2: It's a home. 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: How's it going, everybody? Welcome back and welcome to my guy, 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: tk tk. I gotta say one thing real quick. When 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: the Yankees lost on whatever the game won, I guess 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: it was Friday night. We had a ton of Blue 12 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: Jays fans in the chat. I'm noticing not quite as 13 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 1: many today, not quite as many. How you doing, my 14 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: friend doing? 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: Good man? I had like harp palpitations at the end 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 3: of that game, and you know, they put Devin Williams 17 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 3: in there, and I was like, oh my God, like 18 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 3: here we. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: Go, let's go, let's go ahead. So we don't usually 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: do voicemails until later in the show, but since we've 21 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: got a lot of like energy being released right now 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: from that that great win, I wanted to give an 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: example of some of the calls we got. We just 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: got a million calls about Devin Williams when he got 25 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: put in there, let's go. 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 4: When Devin Williams trucked out glad dam Taylor Nda, I 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 4: had to pinch myself. 28 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: I thought I was dreaming. I was ready looking for an. 29 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: Upset from the cast skills. I'm sure you're being flooded 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: with Coles, Devin Williams. 31 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 4: Are you Kennedy? 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Oh my god? So Addison Barger 33 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: to sit a base it, I mean, I guess I 34 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: give up. 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a lot of that. We got a 36 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: bunch of those. That's the gist of it. But I 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: felt the same way when you know Boone went to 38 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: Devin Williams with a one run lead in the eighth inning, 39 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh my god, deja vu all over again. 40 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: But he was able to get it done. We had 41 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: a huge home run from Ben Rice today, Yankees gave 42 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: the three run lead back and I was thinking, man, 43 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: here we go. Just it was like the Yankees did 44 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: everything they could to lose this game and still somehow won. 45 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: Bellinger with a big hit today, a big throw behind 46 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: the plate from Austin Wells in the ninth inning. You 47 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: mentioned that might have been the game saver, TK, how 48 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: are you feeling about this win? This series? 49 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 3: Critical? Win, critical because if they had lost, it would 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: have been four games back rather than they are just 51 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: two games back now. And you had mentioned in the 52 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: green room they do need to have sole possession of 53 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: first place because Toronto has the tiebreaker, so technically you 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 3: need three games back. So they got Detroit coming to 55 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: town and then the Red Sox, which I believe that 56 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 3: series is in Fenway. So that's the last two series 57 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: of this gauntlet. But then they got like the Twins, 58 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: So what am I looking for them? Just keep winning 59 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 3: series ideally, but I'm you know, you got to give 60 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 3: me like three to three, like five hundred at minimum 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: over the next little stretch here. 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree hundred percent. Let's get to the recap 63 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: because this is a fun one going So, TK, I'm 64 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: just gonna run through my takeaways for the people who 65 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: chose football over our beloved Yankees today. So, great play 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: in foul territory, falling into the dugout by Ryan McMahon 67 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: to begin the game. He had a fantastic day in 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: the field. He didn't do much offensively, He was zero 69 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: for three with three strikeouts. We got a guy named 70 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: Robert who calls in who hates he absolutely despises Ryan McMahon. 71 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: I imagined he was punching air with all the great 72 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: plays he was making on defense, but you know, kind 73 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: of indicated by the tough day on offense. But we 74 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: had Max Fried struck out Davis Schneider on three different 75 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: pitches in his first at bat in the first inning, 76 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: two blown calls by the home played umpire in the 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: first ten pitches of the game absolutely unreal. And then 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: we had an enormous, big three run home run from 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: Ben Rice, just a critical, critical shot made it three 80 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: to nothing Yankees in the bottom of the first inning. 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: And tk now that we see more of Ben Rice 82 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: twenty three home runs this year. Playing a little bit 83 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 1: of first base a little bit of catcher hasn't been 84 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: particularly great either way. I think you got to commit 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: with a guy who's not great at either position. You 86 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 1: got to kind of commit to putting him one spot, 87 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: right if you want to get his bat in there 88 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: every day, which would you do? Would you prefer to 89 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: make him the first baseman or the catcher? 90 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: I probably lean towards having him play first You know, 91 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: is Goldsman a better defender at first, yes, but he's 92 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 3: been a first baseman his entire career. 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: Next year, I mean, next year, you're not gonna be 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: on the team, so let's no no. 95 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: I know, I'm just kind of just just for the 96 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 3: sake of argument, But yeah, I think I lean towards 97 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 3: him playing first catching wise, like, I think for two reasons. Wells, 98 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: I do think is a better defender, and I you know, 99 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: with abs it's tough. I don't care about framing. I 100 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: care more so about like blocking pitches in the dirt 101 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: because ABS is coming and throwing guys out, So framing 102 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: I could care less. But also with catching, that is 103 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 3: a very physical position. It beats guys up. What Kyle 104 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 3: Roley is doing right now, I don't think we'll be 105 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: done probably ever. Again, it's absolutely absurd what he's doing. 106 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 3: So offensively, I think you value is bat the most right, 107 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: So offensively you'd rather him just kind of commit to first. 108 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: But the only thing is, you know, with Judge having 109 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: arm problems, is that the eventual route for him kind 110 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 3: of like the Bryce Harper road. So that's like the 111 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 3: only other kind of hiccup there. Maybe, But I think 112 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 3: I lean towards him being the everyday first baseman. 113 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think it's interesting the judge thinking, I 114 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna need Tommy John. They said there 115 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: was no UCL damage, so I think they're just trying 116 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: to play it safe with you know, how they're using him. 117 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: But I agree that he should play first base. I mean, 118 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: he's a gigantic target over there. If you could teach 119 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: him how to pick, and there's no reason you can't 120 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: learn how to pick em professional athlete, the hand eye coordination, 121 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, being elite, I think that he would be 122 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: fine over there. You know, Ben Rice though, I could 123 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: see him playing first I could, you know, I could 124 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 1: see him catching it. There's just so many different ways 125 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: that we could go. But home run for Ben Rice 126 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: today and the second thing. We had two opportunities for 127 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge to throw. The first one I thought was 128 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,119 Speaker 1: pretty good. He almost nailed the runner at second base, 129 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: runner almost helped him out by oversliding. Second one, he 130 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: hit the cutoff man. It was a seventy mile an 131 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: hour throw to I believe it was jazz, and you know, 132 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: it would have been a low percentage play to try 133 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: and get the runner at home anyway. But I think 134 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 1: a healthy judge, a healthy judge has a really good 135 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: chance to throw him out. It would have been interesting 136 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: to see what he did if it was, like, you know, 137 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: tie game in the ninth inning at that point, would 138 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: he airmail it or was it the plan just hey, 139 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: be safe unless the game is on the line. Thoughts 140 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: on what we saw from Judge in his arm. 141 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's definitely playing hurt, no doubt about it. Yeah, 142 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: but he made that great diving play in the field, 143 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: and I was texting my dad about that, and I 144 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: was kind of just saying, like, yet, Judge's arm is 145 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: compromised clearly, and you know, now Stanton's back at the 146 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 3: DH spot. But if Stanton's playing right, he doesn't make 147 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: that play. So there is still value in having Judge 148 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: out there as a defender, even though his arm is 149 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: kind of shot right now. The only thing that worries 150 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: me is that he'll make it worse. Like you said, 151 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: if the game's on the line and he kind of 152 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: airs it out a little bit, lets it loose a 153 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: little bit with the throw, and then like something pops. 154 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: You know, That's that's like the absolute worst case scenario. 155 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: So I'm fine with him out there. But yeah, they're 156 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: definitely kind of telling him to play with a little 157 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: bit of a little bit more of a reserved mindset. 158 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: But it'll be interesting. It's just kind of like survive 159 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 3: until the end of the season for me with him right, like, 160 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 3: just just nothing, nothing worse. Don't aggravate it, don't. I 161 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: don't think they should be afraid of having him go 162 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,239 Speaker 3: back to DH if he's kind of saying it's getting worse. 163 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: But I'm okay with him having his glove out there, 164 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: just because he is great with the glove, not just there. 165 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: He did make a nice diving catch in this game. 166 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: Jay's tied it up. We had Volby make his nineteenth 167 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: hour of the year, but Freed prevented, you know, further damage. 168 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: They left a couple of guys on. We'll talk more 169 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: about Volte in a few minutes. Judge and Bellinger Manufacturer 170 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: run to get the run back Judge with the walk 171 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: in the stolen base. Judge had three walks today. He's 172 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: got eleven stolen bases now and him and Jazz both stealing. 173 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Jazz and Judge have this competition, syd who could have 174 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: the greater total of home runs plus stolen bases. Maybe 175 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: somebody can do the math right now, but Chism has 176 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: twenty seven stolen bases. Judge has eleven. So anyway, TK, 177 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: I need Bellinger back. If I'm cashman, he's my number 178 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: one priority this offseason. What do you think? 179 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, there's a couple of pretty nice left handed 180 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 3: outfield options this season. So they'll be Kyle Sucker, they'll 181 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 3: be Cody Bellinger, and I get Trent Chrishiam who's had 182 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 3: a very nice year. He's probably going to get paid 183 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: this offseason. But yeah, for me, it's got to be 184 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger. I think he's kind of the most complete 185 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: player available. He's proven that he can play New York 186 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: and if you think about it, he's only really played 187 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: in big markets. He came up as a Dodger. He 188 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 3: was a Cub, which isn't you know, New York or LA, 189 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: but still a pretty big franchise to be a part of. 190 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: And then obviously now the Yankees very Ursatal can play 191 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: kind of anywhere in the outfield. First, it looks he 192 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 3: hustles every time, you know, he hits a ground ball 193 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: and he's hustling down the line. He's got kind of 194 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: that Paul O'Neill, hair on fire, a little bit sort 195 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: of Edgecroom comes through in the big moment. Yeah, I 196 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 3: mean I need him to come back for sure. He's 197 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 3: definitely gonna opt out test free agency. He's a Boris guy, 198 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 3: but definitely I agree with you. He would be the 199 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: number one priority for me to bring back over and 200 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: get into this a little bit more. But like if 201 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: you had to pick between a Grisham and a Bellinger, 202 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 3: I'm probably leading Bellinger. 203 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, I agree, I think so. Sloppy play 204 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: from Austin Wells in the fourth inning almost jfk. Nathan 205 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: Lucas running down the first baseline just missed his dome, 206 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: turned a slow roller in front of the plate into 207 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: a man in scoring position. Luckily, Judge saved the day 208 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: with a diving catch in right field. We had seven gritty, gutsy, 209 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: really good innings from Max Freed in this game. Will 210 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: spotlight him more. In a second, I could not believe. 211 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't I believe my eyes when I saw the 212 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: tweet from Max Goodman that Devin Williams was warming up 213 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: to come in the game with a one run lead, 214 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: and then when he actually came in the game, I thought, 215 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: maybe they're using him as a decoy. Right, let's get 216 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: everybody you know thinking he's gonna go. And then when 217 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: he actually went in the game, I was pacing, I 218 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: was sweating, I was nervous. And then he gives up 219 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: a base hit, he allowed a walk. He got through 220 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: the inning without allowing run, but he did allow two 221 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: base runners. I mean playing with fire there, man, I mean, 222 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: just just rush and roulette on that one. If the 223 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: game is within three runs after the fifth inning, I 224 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: think the Yankees' standard protocol should be to put him 225 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: in a cab and send him across town. That way, 226 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: Boone can't be tempted to use him. David Bednar threw 227 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: the ball really well today, closed out the game, and 228 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the Yankees win the game and the series they take 229 00:10:46,400 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: two out of three. Got another dumb comment here, Ruy 230 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: says Judge is trash in a big moment. He got 231 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: walked three times today, and he made an unbelievable catch, 232 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: and he scored two runs and stole a bass. What 233 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: do you want from the guy he got two hits yesterday. 234 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: I mean, watch more baseball anyway. Who are we going 235 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: with with the belt Today? We had some tough choices here. 236 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: It was really Rice or Freed, who do we go with? 237 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: We went with mister Max Freed. 238 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: That is Max Freed, who has now tied Jazz Chisholm 239 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: with nine belts on the season. We got a barn 240 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: Burner and then right behind him Grisham and rod On 241 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: each with eight. Bellinger has six, Stanton has five, Judge 242 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: and Rice each with four, and a half Worn with four, Dominga, 243 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: Schmidt and Wells with three. Behind them is Scara with two, Yarborough, 244 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: Gold Schmidt, Bednar, Schlitler and Cruse all with two and 245 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: then tied with just one apiece Oswaldo Cabrera we miss him, 246 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: Carlos carrasco rest in Peace, Volpi Stroman God, and Ryan McMahon. 247 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: So those are your current belt standings for those of 248 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: you listening. Nice job by Max Freed. Let's talk about 249 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: him picture, so you know, we gave him the belt, 250 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 1: but I didn't think he was super sharp early on. 251 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: This is one of those pictures those games that pitchers 252 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: will say they really like because it was a grind, 253 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: they didn't have their best stuff and they still got 254 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: through it. I thought the umpire wasn't giving him any 255 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: help early on the umpiring has been atrocious over the 256 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: last week or so. He got out of a pretty 257 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 1: big jam second and third, nobody out kept the Runners 258 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: from scoring. He's got the ri down to three point two. 259 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: He picks up the win. He is now sixteen and 260 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: five on the season. Career best in wins was seventeen 261 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. Any thoughts on Max Freed today, just. 262 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: Big, big start, laid it all out there, that critical game, 263 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 3: obviously a must win. I hate when people go like, well, 264 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 3: it's the regular season, it's not a musk, it's a 265 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 3: must win. Today was a must win, and they got 266 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 3: it done. So didn't have his best stuff and he's 267 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: still got it done. And I'm encouraged what I've seen 268 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: lately from him, just because he'd had that stretch where 269 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: he was pitching to like an a E R. I 270 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: don't know if had that had anything to do with 271 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: a blister on his finger. Probably did, who knows. But 272 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: even when he hasn't had his best stuff, I think 273 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 3: the difference now is he's kind of really just gotten 274 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 3: the job done. Just simply, like you said, I think 275 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 3: when you're on the mound, Derek and I can talk 276 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: about this, but when you're on the mound and you're 277 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: getting squeezed little bit, the im part's not giving you anything. 278 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: It's so frustrating, so frustrating, and especially a team like 279 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 3: Toronto that just fouls everything off. You make a good 280 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 3: pitch and you think you got him and he he 281 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: ticks it back and then it's like you gotta go again. 282 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: It's so frustrating. So to stay locked in big time performance. 283 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 3: To give him seven innings as well, that's huge, to 284 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: go deep in the game. So yeah, man, just pick up. 285 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: So with the day off tomorrow, I mean, the bullpen 286 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: gets a little bit of rest as they gear up 287 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: for the Detroit series and a day off at home. 288 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: I've always felt like the Yankees play well after a 289 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,199 Speaker 1: day off at home. You're not traveling, you can just 290 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: kind of hang around. If I were Aaron Boone, I 291 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: would tell everybody, you know, tomorrow's a complete day off. 292 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Don't even worry about coming to the stadium to work out, 293 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: don't take any batting practice. Let your body rest, let 294 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: your mind rest. We're halfway through a really important stretch 295 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: of games. Get some sleep, don't go out and party, 296 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: like have a day with the family, have a day 297 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: to like watch Netflix or whatever, just let yourself breathe, 298 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: and I think that'll charge them up as they prefer 299 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: for the next six games here, three against Detroit at home, 300 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: and then off to Boston for three more. Which of 301 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: those series worries you more? The Detroit series or the 302 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: Boston series. 303 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 3: Boston just because in Fenwick Park it's been a house 304 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: of horrors for them, and that's an indivision opponent. The 305 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 3: Detroit series, I don't know if they're gonna see schoobl 306 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: or not. I don't know how that's gonna line up. 307 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: If they do see Schooble. I kind of chalk that 308 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 3: up as an immediate life. This team doesn't really hit 309 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: lefties that well, and I think other than Paul Skiings 310 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 3: even I think School is probably the best pitcher on 311 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 3: the planet right now. Paul Skans is like right behind 312 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: him and and he's the lefties. So I kind of 313 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: chalk that up immediately as a lost. Ideally, you like 314 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 3: to win both series, take two out of three for both, 315 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: But if you're gonna lose a series, I'd rather lose 316 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 3: the series to Detroit than I went to Boston. 317 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that maybe this win, you know, winning 318 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: four out of six against Houston and Toronto will get 319 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees' confidence going a little bit right, and you know, 320 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: maybe you take three from Detroit, right. I mean, I 321 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: know we don't like to say, oh, you gotta sleep whatever, 322 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: but you know, with nineteen games left, you're gonna have 323 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: to sweep some series. You're gonna have to sweep some 324 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: of the bums. You know, you're gonna have to take 325 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: all three from the White Sox when they come to town. 326 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Ideally you take three from the Twins after you leave Baltimore. 327 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: I sorry, after you leave Boston and then you go 328 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: to Baltimore for a four game set. It's hard to 329 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, take four, but you hope you take three 330 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: out of four. I mean, really, the Yankees the god 331 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: to get red hot down the stretch. My hope is 332 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: that an exhilarating win like this kind of gets those 333 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: emotions going, gets everybody feeling great, and then you know, 334 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: we get on a roll here. But I could also see, 335 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: like with the way this team has played all year, 336 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: where it's like, you know, one step forward, two test 337 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: steps back. Sometimes I could also see them going two 338 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: and four over the next six, right, I mean. 339 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for me, I feel like you got 340 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 3: a sweet Minnesota. I mean, we own that team. We 341 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: are really use Astros to the Twins pretty much. You know, 342 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 3: we absolutely own them in the regular season. In the playoffs. 343 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: I think in the last like twenty years, we're like 344 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five wins over one hundred and 345 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 3: sixty two like game season. It's ridiculous. So to me, 346 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 3: it's you know, if you're gonna lose a series, lose 347 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 3: it to Detroit, take two out of three in Boston, 348 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 3: sweep Minnesota, and ideally you take three out of four 349 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 3: in Baltimore and you finish the season feeling good and hot, 350 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: and you're going to the playoffs like feeling well about yourself. 351 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. We I think we might actually 352 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: have to face Tarik's google. He pitched yesterday, right, So 353 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: if you do the math, you know four days off 354 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: would mean he would pitch the Thursday game the eleven. 355 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: Now here's why I would much rather face him in 356 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: New York than in Detroit, because he's a hard throwing lefty. 357 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: You know, you stack the lineup full of rightys and 358 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 1: you say, just look for the fastball and swing late 359 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: or whatever. If you have to hit the ball in 360 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: the air to right field. That's one of those games 361 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: where you want to rely on the home run. You 362 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,880 Speaker 1: want to try and like maybe work some counts, foul 363 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: off some pitches, make his pitch count get up, so 364 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: he's done after five innings and hope you run into 365 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: like a two run home run or three run home run, 366 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be one of those games where you 367 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: need the starting pitching opposing him to go really well, 368 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: so you know, and the bullpen probably gonna have to 369 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: step up. So this should be a really really interesting series. 370 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: Let's talk a few more topics here of the Yanks. Indeed, 371 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: so another tough game for Anthony Vopie. I feel like 372 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 1: I say that every day, zero for three with three 373 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: strikeouts and error. His OPS is now zero point six 374 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: y six five. So I've been asking the folks who 375 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: I've been having on the show lately, you know, what's 376 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: the plan? I mean, can you run Volpy back out 377 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: there next year as you're starting shortstop? Forget what happens 378 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: the rest of the season. He's he's not had a 379 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: good year. He's not gonna have a good year. He 380 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 1: does have a decent amount of home runs in RBIs 381 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: for a short stops, but the defense has not been good. 382 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: The arm has looked like it's regressing, like he's had 383 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble just getting the ball across the field. Then, 384 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it's easy to see when you contrast, 385 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: like how somebody like Cabbyero gets the ball across the infield. 386 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: Like if there's a routine ground ball to kaby Row, 387 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 1: he kind of makes like a routine throw and he 388 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: just it's chest high and it's got plenty of vello 389 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: on it, Whereas Volpi, like if that ball takes an 390 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: extra hop and he's got a like hurry like it, 391 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: he almost never gets at the first base. He can't 392 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: put enough on the throw. That's a big problem. TK 393 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: and the way he's not hitting, you know, for contact, 394 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: he's not getting on base very off And I know 395 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: he's had some run production, but I just think it's 396 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: a mistake to run him back out there next year. 397 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: I also think don't think cabal Aro is an everyday shortstop. 398 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: The Yankees are in a really tough position here. I'm 399 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: not sure you can run back both Wells and Volty 400 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: two guys who are basically two hundred hitters, and you know, 401 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: until McMahon shows that he's better than a two one 402 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: hundred hitter, I mean, it's that's a really bad bottom 403 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: of the order in terms of contact. I think you 404 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: got to find a way to get better than that. 405 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: One easy way to do it is to upgrade with 406 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 1: a stop gap at shortstop. Don't know who that's going 407 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: to be. You know, what are your thoughts on the 408 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: plan for shortstop? 409 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Boba Schet's gonna be a free agent 410 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 3: and then you'd have to lock him up long term. 411 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to do that, especially with Yourorge Lombard 412 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 3: in the system coming up. I mean, he struggled this year, 413 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: but obviously the tools are there. Volpy, we said this also. 414 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 3: I said this at the beginning of the season. I 415 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: was like, this is year three. He's showed me something, 416 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: this is this is the year and he and he 417 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 3: hasn't come up to the challenge for that. And as 418 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 3: I said, like, I've I've met Volpi in person, spent 419 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: a little bit of time with him. He he's not 420 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 3: a very big guy, like you know, he looks like 421 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 3: a pro athlete. Sure, but He's built like a second 422 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,479 Speaker 3: basement and his arm shows that as well. You know, 423 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 3: he's he has that frame. He kind of looks like 424 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 3: Dustin Pedroia, and that's the player that I think he 425 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: should try to model his game after, where you're trying 426 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 3: to slap the ball around the field. But yeah, look, 427 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 3: he's gonna hit twenty jacks, and maybe the Yankees are 428 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 3: trying to construct a swing to sort of hit home runs. 429 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 3: But I've heard a Rod do interviews and talking about 430 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: the state of the Yankees like we are right now 431 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: with him saying like I would trade Anthony Volpi's twenty 432 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: home runs for a two to eighty average right now, 433 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 3: And so would I right now. You can hit five 434 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: home runs, I don't care, but you know, you got 435 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 3: to hit the ball. The guy strikes out way too much, 436 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 3: and you know you were going to kind of live 437 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: with it because he could do something in the field. 438 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: But even in the field, it's been a problem this season. 439 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 3: I'd rather run Cavallira out there, honestly, at this point, dude. 440 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: We'll see. We already talked a little bit about Belly 441 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: and Grish early on. Let us know in the chat 442 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 1: and in the comments, if you had to pick one 443 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: to bring back, who you bringing back? Bellinger or Grisham? 444 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: Keep in mind Grisham will be cheaper. Belly's more of 445 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: a versatile guy, probably a little bit more expensive. And 446 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: as far as the Yankees chance is to win the 447 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 1: AL East, now they're just two games back, but as 448 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: TK mentioned earlier, you really got to win by three 449 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: games because the Blue Jays have the tiebreaker. It's not 450 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: going to be easy. If you had to say a 451 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: percentage chance one to one hundred, what percentage chance do 452 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: you give them to win the American League East? 453 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: I have to say I don't know who Toronto has 454 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 3: on the schedule, but based on who the Yankees have 455 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: on the schedule, I give it like a forty percent. 456 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty high. I would have said like twenty five 457 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: percent and you know, one in four chance. But you know, 458 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: a month ago, it didn't look like they were even 459 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 1: going to have that much of a chance. And to 460 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: basically wrap the bow on this series, the Yankees have 461 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: got to stop using Devin Williams in close games. I mean, 462 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: gives a fans hard if for no other reason other 463 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: than my cardiovascular health, please stop using Devin Williams in 464 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: close games, quick word from draft and then back to 465 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: wrap things up with TK.

We got a call here from Hannah. 489 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,719 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, this is Hannah from Long Island again. So 490 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: Volpi made an error in the previous inning or maybe 491 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 4: the second inning, whatever that was that la tour run. 492 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 4: Now Wells just threw the hall away and let the 493 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 4: runner go to second. I mean, I think Volpi and 494 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 4: Wells maybe need to spend thos time together because these two, 495 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 4: I don't know, like these errors and extended slumps. I mean, Wells, 496 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, he's been hitting better, and 497 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 4: I feel like his ceiling may be a bit higher 498 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: as far as like hitting. 499 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 2: But Volky just needs to go. 500 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: This is Appreciate the call, Hannah. I feel like a 501 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: lot of people share that opinion. We got another call here, Vulpi, 502 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: Williams and Boon. Let's see what this is about. 503 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, Derek Steed from me, and I think there are 504 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: a couple of things Yankee fans have to understand and 505 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 2: accept and make peace with. One is the Yanks are 506 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: gonna live or die with Anthony Volpi. Two is the 507 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: Yankees are going to live or die with Devin Williams. 508 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 2: And three is the Yankees are going to live or 509 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: die with Aaron Boone. As soon as we make peace 510 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: with that, with all those those problems, the real significant problems, 511 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 2: we'll have an easier time watching this team go down 512 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: the tubes. 513 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: Wait and things on a positive note there, I love 514 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: Yankee fans, but nothing he said I think was wrong. 515 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: They are going to live and die with those guys 516 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: this year anyway, t K. 517 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, no for sure. And I was just looking at 518 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 3: the Blue Jay schedule here, but they got Houston and 519 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 3: the Orioles and then they're at the Rays at Kansas 520 00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: City and then they got the Red Sox and the 521 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: Rais to finish up the season in Toronto. So no, 522 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 3: you know, no cakewalk for the to finish off the 523 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 3: year for them. So it depends if the Yankees are 524 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 3: going to be hotter enough going down the stretch. But 525 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 3: I do think that the division is like the team 526 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 3: that clinches the division will be on like Game one 527 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty. 528 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: Here here is the goal for the Yankee This should 529 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: be the goal be tied for the division lead. When 530 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning on September fifteenth, that's 531 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: the day that you begin the Minnesota Twins series, and 532 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: it begins the soft landing for the season where you 533 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: got three at Minnesota, four at Baltimore, three at home 534 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: against the White Sox, and then three at home against Baltimore, 535 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: finishing off on the twenty eighth. Because I think that 536 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: the Yankees will crush that series that stretch of games 537 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: if they're in a position to win the division. If 538 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: you wake up a couple of games out, three games out, 539 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: I think they might go into wildcard mode and try 540 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: and line up their rotation and things like that, try 541 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: and get guys rested and just hope that they, you know, 542 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: play well in the first round. But if you've got 543 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: a chance to win the division and maybe even get 544 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: a bye in the first you gotta be tied for 545 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: the division at worst when you wake up next Monday, 546 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: TK one more time Yankees win and by the way, 547 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: that is eighty wins for the New York Yankees, and 548 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: if they win one more game, which I'm sure they will, 549 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: that will continue their streak of not having a losing season, 550 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: which I think is the thing that Yankees care most about, 551 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: even more so than championships. They love that stretch, They 552 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: love that streak. 553 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 3: Yep, it's like ninety two, I think, right. 554 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: Yep, And I remember it well. It was awful. All right, 555 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. We'll see you next time.
