1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: All right, that's it the feel oh Wow, wanted to talk. 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: Today is Sunday, August eleventh, and it was the final 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: game of the homestand and the final game of a 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: three game set between the Yankees and the Rangers. Yankees 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: looking to Marcus Stroman to try and get the series 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: win in the rubber match. My recap your reactions coming 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: up next. This is NYY recaps. Welcome due, call me back, Wow, 8 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: bald head getting sweaty after that one. Clay Holmes making 9 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 2: it interesting, Yankees' entire relief corps making it interesting, with 10 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: the exception of Jake Cousins, who was really good today. 11 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody. Good win to finish out the homestand 12 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: I was thinking about this today, and the greatest job 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: in baseball has got to be the person who plays 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: the music to match the situation at the stadium. You know, 15 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: a guy walks and they play Walk of Life by 16 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: Dire Straits, or the pitcher gets taken out of the 17 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: game and they play Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles. 18 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 2: What is that job called? I would have majored that, 19 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,839 Speaker 2: majored in that in college if I could. Jake Blocks's 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 2: Clay heart attack Holmes again Cardiac Clay with the four 21 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: out save. But Andrew Haney was on the mound today 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 2: for the Rangers, and not only do lefties kill the Yankees, 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: but so do x Yankees, especially X Yankees, who's stunk 24 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: as Yankees. So I kind of expected him to throw 25 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: a no hitter. I'm not gonna lie. Yankees did jump 26 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: out to an early lead again and this time they 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: were able to barely hang on to eke out the 28 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: one run victory for win number seventy. Orlando says he 29 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: thought he was gonna need to get the defribulation out. 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: Do people have defibrillators at home? Is that something you 31 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 2: can just go pick up at Walmart? Home runs by 32 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: Juan Soto and John Carlos Stanton to home runs by 33 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: Juan Soto, by the way, and then the home run 34 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: by Stanton came after a intentional walk to Aaron Judge 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: oops another multi hit day for Aaron Judge, who also 36 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: hit home run number forty two and number two hundred 37 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: and ninety nine. For his career, he is creeping up 38 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 2: towards three point thirty with the batting average. He is 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 2: at three twenty eight with a one point one six 40 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: one ops, Are you kidding me? Volpi had a tough 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 2: day on his bobblehead day. He went oh for four 42 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: with three strikeouts. He's down to two fifty now and 43 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 2: oh for his last twenty three at bats. I believe, 44 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: so tough day for Anthony Vopi. But a big story 45 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: today was Marcus Stroman. I mentioned yesterday how bad Marcus 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: Stroman's numbers have been since mid June, and you may 47 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 2: have noticed that Yankees pitching basically stunk for most of 48 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: July and June, and Carlos Rodin has sin has since 49 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: turned it in his last four starts two point two 50 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 2: two era Luisio has turned it around and throwing the 51 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: slider more, making a run at the Rookie of the Year. 52 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: And we've just been waiting basically on Nestor Cortes and 53 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman. I'm not sure Nester's gonna turn it around, 54 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: because to me, he just looks tired. Doesn't typically throw 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: this much into the season. But Stroman, I thought, you know, 56 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 2: if he could get back to mixing his pitches a 57 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: little bit better, just like Carlos Rodin did, then you 58 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: know he could get out of it. And today he 59 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: was going on eight days rest, so an extra couple 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: of days rest may have helped him, and. 61 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: He got it done. 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: He looked like he was throwing a lot more free 63 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: and easy. Paul O'Neil had a great point, which is 64 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 2: that he hasn't been using his sinker as effectively as 65 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: he was early in the year. He's throwing a lot 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: more breaking pitches, but the sinker is how he gets 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: ground balls right. And today notice a noticeable notable that 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: he only had one swing and miss all day long. 69 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: He threw eighty nine pitches fifty two strikeouts, but he 70 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: was getting ground balls. And you know what, it worked. 71 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: Five innings, four hits, one run, three walks, one strikeout, 72 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 2: and a really nice performance by Jake Cousins to come 73 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: in with men on base in the sixth inning, strike out, 74 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: three hitters and prevent further damage to Marcus Stroman's era, 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: which is now four point zero one on the season. 76 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: But a nice job by mister Stroman, and that'll do 77 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: it for the home stand. The end of a nine 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: game homestand against three teams with under five hundred records, 79 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: and the Yankees went five and four on the home stand. 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: They I mean, really, I guess kind of broke out 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: a little bit in the Fenway series before. 82 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Before they came home. 83 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: To Sorry, they went Fenway, and then they went to 84 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: the Phillies and the offense broke out and they were 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 2: smashing the baseball. Then they came home and they beat 86 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: the Blue Jays. They had some trouble with the Angels, 87 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: and then this series was far too close against the Rangers. So, 88 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: you know, it was a tight home stand. You'd like 89 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: to do better than five and four. Some takeaways. Judge 90 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: getting lots of hits. He wasn't hitting a ton of 91 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: home runs. He hit one today. He also walked about 92 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: a dozen times. John Carlow for the most part, was 93 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: just ramping up, getting his swing back under him, and 94 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: it wasn't until yesterday that he did any kind of 95 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 2: real damage. 96 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Second day in. 97 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: A row with a home run, and given the state 98 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: of White Sox pitching, I expect him to go berserker 99 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: over the next few days. 100 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: Berserker Yanks. 101 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm looking good over there at third base until 102 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 2: about the eighth inning today. He was pretty slick for 103 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: most of the homestand he had that one play where 104 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: he you know, messed up as a you know, a 105 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: force play where he should have known it was a 106 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: force play. He tried to make the tag that led 107 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: to some runs. Today he booted one that costs the 108 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: Yankees a couple of runs. But offensively, he's looked good. 109 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: He's already got seven home runs with the Yankees, so 110 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: his first home stand is in the He looks good 111 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: in pinstrikes too. He's new to the position, so I'm 112 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: gonna give him a little bit of grace period at 113 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: third base. But he's a phenomenal athlete. I think he's 114 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: got a really good internal clock. A lot of people 115 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: on this chat have been calling him dide Gregoria's two 116 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: point zero, and I can see that volpi ice cold 117 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: all of a sudden. He was red hot coming out 118 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 2: of the second half, and then I think maybe some 119 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: of the rainouts or whatever threw off his timing. Wells 120 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: had a great homestand he went one for four, hit 121 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: another double today. He's got thirteen doubles on the season. 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 2: Juan Soto's hand had been kind of a worry for 123 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: a lot of the homestand but two dangers today. He's 124 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,719 Speaker 2: now got thirty on the season, hitting three zero four 125 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 2: with a one point zero one to eight ohps, so 126 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: you know, you would have liked to have done better 127 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: than five and four. But end of the day, the 128 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Yankees will end this homestand in a first place tie 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 2: with the Orioles. Orioles have the advantage because they've won 130 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: the season series so far, but both teams at seventy 131 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 2: and forty nine. Nobody else in the American League has 132 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: more than sixty eight wins, so the Yankees tied for 133 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 2: the best record in the American League, and that's super 134 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 2: important because you want home field advantage in the playoffs. 135 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: But it's worth noting the Yankees have been awful at 136 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 2: home this year. Not awful, they haven't been great. Usually 137 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: it's a spot where you win pretty easily at home 138 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: and you want that home field advantage, and homefield advantage 139 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: in the playoffs is a different animal. But have not 140 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: been playing up to par at home this year. White 141 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: Sox tomorrow they are twenty eight and ninety one. If 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 2: you haven't been following the White Sox this year or 143 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: following baseball in general, they are very very bad. They 144 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 2: are really bad, like historically bad. They might lose one 145 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty one hundred and twenty five games. That's 146 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: how bad they are. They've had losing streaks of fourteen 147 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 2: and twenty one. They just fired their manager, Pedro Griffall 148 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: last week. Grady Sizemore took over as the interim manager. 149 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: Aj Perzinski, who's been on this podcast, has been rumored 150 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: to be one of the people that might eventually take 151 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: that job. But they are twenty eight eight ninety one. 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: That is sixty three games under five hundred sixty three. 153 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: Their team batting average is two seventeen, and losing any 154 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: of the next three games is simply not acceptable. If 155 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: you're a Yankees fan right now, you gotta go in 156 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: there and win three straight, and you gotta hope the 157 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: Orioles lose one or two games, and then you exit 158 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: the White Sox series in first place. That's the scenario 159 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: the Yankees are looking for right now. Clay says, if 160 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: we don't sweep the White Sox, he's gonna lose his shit. 161 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: Me too, brother, me true, that is a true statement. 162 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 2: But uh, Yankees take the final game of the home 163 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 2: stand and they head to Chicago. Let's get to the recap, 164 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 2: all right, Let's go, let's get it going. Yankees got 165 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: on the board in the first inning, vote reached on 166 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: an error. Judge singled, and then John Carlos Stanton brought 167 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: in the first run with a sackfly. Nice productive at bat. 168 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 2: He had four RBIs on the game, and then the 169 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: Yankees tacked on in the bottom of the third Juan 170 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 2: Soto with an absolute bomb, the. 171 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: One who knocks. 172 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: A majestic shot into the right field bleachers, twenty nine 173 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: home run of the season, and he was not done. 174 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: One hundred and ten mile an hour exit velocity, four 175 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen feet. Bottom five Rangers intentionally walked Aaron Judge, 176 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: but they forgot one thing. John Carlos Stanton beginning to 177 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: heat up, and he made them pay. 178 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 3: Nice Stantoni Son Carlos Stanton looks. 179 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 2: Him out, and there are two types of Stantonian blasts. 180 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: There's the one that goes four hundred and seventy five feet, 181 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: which he does on occasion, and then there's the ones 182 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: like today, where it's just a blistering line drive that 183 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: just basically makes everybody scatter in the seats. And that's 184 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 2: what he hit today, one hundred and fourteen point nine 185 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 2: off the bat, four hundred and five feet that made 186 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: it five to nothing after that swing. His ops was 187 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 2: exactly eight hundred for the season. It finishes the day 188 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: at seven ninety eight. But I think John Carlos, aside 189 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: from the injury, had a really productive year. We had 190 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: a comment last night about how all of his home 191 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: runs are meaningless. 192 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Well, there you go. 193 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 2: That one meant something. Yankees needed those runs. He does 194 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: hit some meaningless home runs. I'll give you that, but 195 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 2: that one meant something. Rangers got to Marcus Stroman in 196 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 2: the sixth inning, quick hook for Aaron Boone, trying to 197 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: preserve his confidence after a really good five innings. Nice 198 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: job by Jake Cousins to strike out the side and 199 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: prevent further damage. 200 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: Really good job by Cousins. 201 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: Yankees got the run back in the bottom half sack 202 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: fly from DJ Lomayhew. He showed some signs of life 203 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: in the homestand he hit one to right field later 204 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 2: in the game where he got thrown out going to 205 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: second by about a mile. But he went two for 206 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: three on the day. He's up to one ninety eight, 207 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 2: so he's almost up to the White Sox team batting average. 208 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 2: Rangers got two back in the seventh on an error 209 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: by Jazz Chisholm. Not a good inning for Tommy Cainley 210 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: couldn't find the zone with the changeup, but ended up 211 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: working out of it, and then bottom seven Jon Soto 212 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: back at. 213 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: It, the second home running the game, second home run 214 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 3: in the game, home run number thirty on the season. 215 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: To the game exactly like you did the most time. 216 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: Loved his reaction. I know some people don't like it 217 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: when players kind of show off their home runs and 218 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: admire their work. I love it when an artist admires 219 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: their work as long as it goes out of the ballpark. 220 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: That one was never a doubt. Four hundred and six 221 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: feet and he just kind of like turned around. He 222 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: did almost the Jazz Chisholm thing, but beautiful swaying. Next 223 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: batter was Aaron Judge, and when he hits a fly 224 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: ball to right field at Yankee Stadium, I'll tell you what, 225 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: it's usually gonna be a souvenir. 226 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: That's another home rock for Judge. All Rode forty two, 227 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the Judge. 228 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: Forty two for Aaron Judge, two hundred and ninety nine 229 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: run of his career. And the Yankees at that point 230 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 2: led eighty three, and you thought they were going to 231 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 2: sail to an easy victory. But Mark Leider just did 232 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: not have it today. He was not getting the usual 233 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: break or location on his splitter, and before you knew it, 234 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: it was eight six. Clay Holmes was coming in for 235 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: the four out save, and every Yankees fan who's been 236 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: watching this season was clutching their chest like, oh. 237 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 1: My god, are we going to do this again? But 238 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: he got through the. 239 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 2: Eighth top nine still in the game, and of course 240 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 2: he made it interesting, served up a single to make 241 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 2: it eight to seven, and in a ridiculously stressful ninth inning, 242 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: there was a ground ball to second base. Labora tourists 243 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 2: for some reason went down to a knee. It kind 244 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: of took a bad hop on him, and then he 245 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: just did one of those weird dart type throws to 246 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: first base almost blew it, almost. 247 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Blew it, but catch was made and the Yankees hang. 248 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: On to win the final game of the home stand, 249 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: win number. 250 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 3: Seventy twenty games ahead of last year's take. 251 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: Tommy c says, I'm a fan of play homes anyway, 252 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 2: Hi from Paris. Not supposed to be online while working here, 253 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: So audios, are you in the Olympics? Is that's what's 254 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: going on here at the Olympic ceremonies maybe, but anyway, 255 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: great to see Clark Schmidt back in the dugout, says 256 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: mister Clay. And we heard during the game that Clark 257 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 2: Smid could be back second week of September. That's when 258 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 2: they're counting for him to come back. I thought he'd 259 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 2: be back sooner than that the way he was throwing. 260 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: But they're gonna send him out for a rehab assignment 261 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 2: in about ten days. So they're counting on a few 262 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: rehab starts and then hopefully a few starts before you 263 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 2: get to the end of the season. 264 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: All right, Belt, today we had some good options. I mean, 265 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 1: Judge was. 266 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: Three for three with a walk, forty two home runs 267 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 2: on the year. Now Stanton with the big three run shot, 268 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman obviously a great start, and Juan Soto to 269 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: home runs. 270 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: Who's it gonna be? 271 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: Won soda? Juan Soto with the Belts, he is our 272 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: leader in Belts. I haven't updated the leader board yet, 273 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 2: but we'll do that shortly. A couple of big swings 274 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: and every time he hits a huge home run or 275 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: does something incredible, I always have to say pay that 276 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: man his money pay. 277 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: That's me and his money. 278 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: I don't know if the Yankees are actually gonna do it. 279 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: We talked about it the other day, whether or not 280 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 2: he was gonna end up with the Mets. I still 281 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: think that there's a legit shot that the Mets are 282 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 2: gonna offer him the biggest contract of anybody out there, 283 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: and it's just a question of whether he wants to 284 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: take that or whether he wants to stay with the Yankees. 285 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: He's obviously getting a ton of pitches to hit in 286 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: front of Aaron Judge. I mean, he's still walking a ton. 287 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: Let me find out how many walks want Soto has 288 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: on the air. Let's pull up his season stats. He 289 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: has on this season ninety five walks, so he's already 290 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 2: creeping up on one hundred walks and we're in early August. 291 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: He's got eighty two strikeouts, so more walks than strikeouts. 292 00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: He's hitting over three hundred at a time when not 293 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520 Speaker 2: many people do hit over three hundred four to twenty 294 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 2: nine on base percentage in front of Aaron Judge. And 295 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: that is why Aaron Judge has so many RBIs. Let's 296 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: take a look at Aaron Judge's numbers now one hundred 297 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: and six RBIs on August eleventh. He's got a shot 298 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 2: for like one hundred and thirty one hundred and forty RBIs. 299 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 2: He really does with high fifties or low sixties in 300 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: home runs and a three thirty batting everg, I mean, 301 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 2: it's almost no way he doesn't win the MVP. Last 302 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 2: seven games, Judge hitting four point fifty five. How many 303 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: walks does he have? He has ninety eight walks, so 304 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 2: he is three ahead of Juan Soto. Crazy crazy, Joseph 305 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: Bazarnik says, Soto, Judge, and Stanton are the three headed monsters. 306 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: Especially having Stanton back and hot, it just makes that 307 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: offense so much more dangerous. You know, you gotta be 308 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: careful pitching around Aaron Judge. I'll tell you what, I'm 309 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: gonna lose my mind if the White Sox intentionally walk 310 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 2: Aaron Judge just gonna lose my cool because they have 311 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: no shot at winning. They have a less than zero 312 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 2: point one chance to make the playoffs. They'd have to 313 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 2: win every single game left this season to just finish 314 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 2: twenty games under five hundred. They're not making the playoffs. 315 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: Pitch to Aaron Judge. Let the man chase the record. 316 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: Let him get number three hundred. I'm saying, let him 317 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 2: get it, but compete, compete with him. So Yankee basher 318 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: twenty one wants to know who has the highest batting 319 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: average in the American League. Will let me find out. 320 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 2: I'm sure we can just go over to MLB dot com. 321 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 2: I know Bobby Witt was hitting about three fifty last 322 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 2: I checked. He hit about four to ninety in July. 323 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: So let me go ahead and pull it up. All right, 324 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: Let's take a look through the league leaders. So Judge 325 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 2: leading an ops, Bobby Witt leading an average at three 326 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 2: forty seven. Judge is in second at three twenty eight. 327 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 2: Stephen Kwan has fallen all the way down to three 328 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: twenty five. So Bobby Witt is really stopping Aaron Judge 329 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: from the triple crown. He's nineteen points ahead and bage, 330 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. We could use one of those 331 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: oh for fifty two streaks from Bobby Witt right now, 332 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: but I don't think is happening. And look credit to him. 333 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 2: He does it by swinging the bat. He's got one 334 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty four hits already, which is the most 335 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball. It's more than Luisa Rise who, 336 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: by the way, hitting three ZHO six. Take a look 337 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: at home runs Judge at forty two. That's a seven 338 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,479 Speaker 2: home run lead over Shoeotani of the Dodgers, who has 339 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: thirty five. Marcelo Zuna with Atlanta has thirty five. Anthony 340 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: Santander with Baltimore has thirty five. Ktell Marte is having 341 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 2: a great year, hitting two ninety nine with thirty home runs. 342 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 2: Take a look at on base percentage leaders Judge at 343 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: four sixty two, Juan So at four twenty nine. So 344 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 2: the Yankees have numbers one and two. I'd be really 345 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: interested to see if they finish one two in the 346 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 2: MVP race at the end of the season. Jerrikson profar 347 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: three to ninety six. I believe he got hurt recently. 348 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if he ended up on the IL. 349 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: Jordan Alvarez having a really good year three oh seven, 350 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 2: twenty five home run sixty three RBIs you know, Bobby Witt, 351 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: it's more than just the average. He's already got twenty 352 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,719 Speaker 2: two home runs, two and eighty seven Ribby's He's got 353 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: an ops of nine to ninety eight. 354 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: So we take a look at the OPS leaders. He's fourth. 355 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: He's behind Judge, Sodo Otani, and Bobby Witt. There were 356 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: some rumors a couple of years ago that the Yankees 357 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 2: were gonna make a bid for Rafaeld Devers. He's at 358 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: nine to seventy four. Imagine that trio Judge Soto endeavors. 359 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 2: It'll never happen, unfortunately, but my goodness, that would have 360 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: been absurd. All right, let's take a few more comments 361 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 2: here and wrap it up here. On a Sunday evening, 362 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 2: Jason Thomas says that only Gunner and Bobby Witt are 363 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 2: the ones that could stop Sodo and Judge from finishing 364 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 2: one and two. Have to say, I agree, you know, 365 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: I don't think Devers is gonna do it unless the 366 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 2: unless he goes crazy over the next you know, month 367 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: and a half and the Red Sox somehow make the playoffs. 368 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: They do have a shot to make the playoffs. 369 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: Albarez, I mean, he's capable of going on those crazy streaks, 370 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: and the Astros have been in it, but he's a 371 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 2: DH and DH's typically don't get a lot of MVP votes, 372 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: So I think they got a real chance to finish 373 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: one to two in the MVP voting, which will be 374 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 2: a fun thing. Even if it's one year of Soto, 375 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 2: it'll be something we always remember. So thanks to everybody 376 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: who joined on this Sunday afternoon. I'll be back tomorrow 377 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: with a voicemail show.
