1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, the tip the field. 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 2: It is Friday, June sixth, and the Yankees were taking 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: on the Red Sox in game one of a weekend 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 2: three game series. Will Warren on the mound, looking to 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: bounce back after a tough outing his last time out, 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 2: and the Yankees trying to win too straight. My recap, 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: your reactions coming up next time. This is pinstripe territory. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 3: Just wanted to twelve catch little. 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: All right. I feel like you're seated up a little 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: bit higher than me, Terrence. I don't know if I 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: like that. Gotta get some lips like Tom Cruise, as 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 2: John McClain would say, yippie kaya. I love when the 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 2: Yankees bat around in the first inning, which we had tonight. 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 2: What a way to kick off the weekend TK big 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: nine six victory over the Red Sox. 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: Always feels good when you kick some mass against Boston. 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: First time seeing them this year feels late June sixth, 18 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: first time see the Red Sox this season, but nonetheless 19 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: get his started and felt especially good to hit around 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: with Walker Buehler on the mound. Man, I got a 21 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: bitter taste in my mouth from that, so. 22 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, good old fashioned passionate ass whoopon for Walker Buehller. 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 2: I want to look up his line tonight because it 24 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: was not good. Yankees were all over him. Basically, he 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: went two innings, he gave up seven hits, seven runs, 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: five of them, earned, two walks, two strikeouts, two home runs, 27 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 2: one of Jazz and one to Volpi. His era right 28 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: now is five point one point eight, So not a 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: good night for him. But look, it's always good to 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 2: kind of put up a big game against a team 31 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: in the first game of a series because then you 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 2: kind of wear out their bullpen a little bit. And 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: now we got two games left in the series. Now 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: the Red Sox are throwing Garrett Crochet tomorrow, and you 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: figure he's going to eat some innings and probably pitch 36 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: pretty well. So this might be one of those series 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: that comes down to the rubber game. But right now, 38 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: the Yankees did a pretty good job making the Red 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: Sox work. In Game one. They had to use four 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: pitchers to throw eight innings. So all right, let's get 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: to the recap here and go through what we saw tonight. 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: All right, let's go, let's get it go. He takeaways, 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: so obviously a very good first inning for the Yankees 44 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: double for Judge. We had the two out, three run 45 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: home run from Jazz Chishom to straightaway center field. He 46 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: had another RBI later in the game. He had a 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: stolen base in the second inning. I think he had 48 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: a couple of steelstned. He also got thrown out going 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: to third two. He could have had three, but he 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: kind of came off the bag. He has been absolutely 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 2: on fire since coming back. He was hitting one eighty 52 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: one when he went on the injured list, and right 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: now he is up to two twenty three. So he 54 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: was already raised his average like forty points seven ninety seven. Ops. 55 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: He's hitting more home runs, but he's gotten away from 56 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: the torpedo BATTK What do you make of that? 57 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just something kind of different. I think 58 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: with the torpedo bat, just from the very beginning. I 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: don't know if it actually works. I don't know if 60 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: there's actual physics to it, but I think that a 61 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: big proponent of it was probably like a mental thing 62 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: where guys are up there with a torpedo bat and 63 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: then they may have felt like they had a little 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: bit of an edge, or maybe it doesn't hurt as 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: much when you get jammed, like you don't feel that 66 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: wringing in your hands as much. But I think with Jazz, 67 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: he had mentioned something where he went down for his 68 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: minor league rehab assignment and he was in Double A, 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: and he said that it really reminded him of the 70 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: grind of the game and like how guys work so 71 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: hard to get all the way there, and he had 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: a bit more of an appreciation for that and had 73 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: a little bit more perspective maybe. And I think that 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: also when he came back up, he kind of went 75 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: all right, let me go back to what was working 76 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: for most of my career, went back to the original bat. 77 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: And he's looked great. 78 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: Man. 79 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: I think he's kind of rejuvenated. He's more the player 80 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: that I think was advertised for when the Yankees first 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: acquired him last season and when he was in Miami. 82 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: And if this is what he can be, a guy 83 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: who's just focusing on getting basic because he's got power, 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: and you know some guys are going to hang a 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: curve ball and make a mistake and he'll put in 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the seats. But you know, you don't need thirty home 87 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: runs from Jazz. He'll probably hit twenty in his sleep. 88 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: But just go gap to gap. He's got great speed. 89 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: He's a cool guy I think to have in the clubhouse, 90 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: and I think he's a bit of an irritant for 91 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: other teams as well, which is a good quality to have. 92 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: We're going to dive more into jazz later on than 93 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: the show, as Terrence kind of eats up my third 94 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 2: act here in the first act to borrow an acting 95 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: parlance here, So we'll get more into jazz later on. 96 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: But BOLTI also homered in the first inning. He's still 97 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: using the torpedo bat to run opposite field shot. He 98 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: got hit in the elbow by a pitch in the 99 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: bottom of the third inning and they took him out. 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: I haven't heard whether it's, you know, if they've had 101 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: the X rays or anything like that, but apparently it's, 102 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: you know, in a tough spot. He doesn't come out 103 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: of the game very often, so you got to be 104 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 2: worried a little bit. But it looks like that spot hurt, 105 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: even if it's not broken. Gold Schmid hit home run 106 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 2: number seven tonight, big sway for him. The gold standard baby. 107 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 2: He's been kind of slumping, so hopefully that gets him 108 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 2: going TK. What are your thoughts on gold Schmith. 109 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, slumping, but it's still hitting like three twenty. Is 110 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: still a professional hitter. Yeah. I don't think he's been 111 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: as hot as the way he started the year, but 112 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: he's still really good against lefties. And I guess maybe 113 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: you could just make the argument that when Stan isn'tably activated, 114 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: does that take away some time from Goldsmith for Rice 115 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: at first if he continues to slump. But I think 116 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: I'm not super concerned about him right now. 117 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, Rice, there's another thing we got to talk about. 118 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 2: It seems like we talk about it every week. Austin 119 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: Wells also using the torpedo bat, and someone mentioned it's 120 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 2: not doing great for him, but he has heated up 121 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks. He's raised his average 122 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: from you know, he was hovering around two hundred. He's 123 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 2: up to two seventeen now. He went two for four, 124 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: He's actually two sixteen, two for four tonight. So another 125 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 2: multi hit game. But this one started off pretty one 126 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: sided with the Yankees having that big seven nothing lead, 127 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: but the Red Sox, to their credit, chipped away. We 128 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: had two run home run from Devers and we had 129 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: a home run from Marcelo Mayor, his first major league 130 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: home run. Congrats to him, but ultimately it was not enough. 131 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: We did have Devin Williams come in for the ninth 132 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: and I'm sure people across New York were grabbing the tombs, 133 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 2: and you know, the old folks were hooking up their 134 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: oxygen masks, and I think it's time for you to 135 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: break out, break out the wing glasses. Yankees, take this 136 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: one where Nakes winning. 137 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: Yank, I'm telling you right now, people in California were 138 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: feeling that way too. Man. People in California were sucking 139 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: air down watching Devin Williams trying to close that game 140 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: out too. So it's not just New York. 141 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: So this is my I can't wear the fun hat 142 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 2: because it doesn't fit over the headphones. I have to 143 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: explain this every time, so it's your fault. But we 144 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: did have to make an appearance with it to nice 145 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 2: the tk's rocking the Martian goggles. Those are kind of 146 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: like the goggles that what's his name Warren dumb and Dumber, 147 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,559 Speaker 2: the guy from Dumb and Dumber When he was skiing, 148 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: he had the big you know. Anyway, I think the 149 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: belt pretty much speaks for itself. Tonight Jazz Chisholm completely 150 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: dominated uh and he picks up the belt. I was 151 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 2: gonna let DK announce, but whatever, good, all good, and 152 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: he's got by far the best Belt Award picture I 153 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: think because he's like he's rocking the cool glasses and 154 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: he's got massive amount of playing there. But yeah, he 155 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 2: continues to improve since coming back, and I'm really loving 156 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: what we're seeing. But we'll talk more about him in 157 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: a minute. We got to talk about the picture for tonight. 158 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: Will Warren, who for the second start in a row, 159 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 2: did not have a great line, but I thought he 160 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 2: pitched better than his line tonight TK. He was great 161 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: for the first five innings. Obviously the Red Sox got 162 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: to him for three runs. In the sixth, he kind 163 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 2: of lost the zone a little bit. He had four walks, 164 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: that is not something he typically does. And his final 165 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: line five and third innings, three hits, four runs, all 166 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: of them earned four walks and six strikeouts, once again 167 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: more strikeouts than innings pitched. He continues to do that. 168 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: He misses bats, although I just counted six whiffs tonight, 169 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: but a five point three four ERA on the season, 170 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: one point four to one whip. What are your thoughts 171 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: on Will Warren tonight. 172 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he looked really good the first five innings, 173 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: he just kind of lost the plate. And I think 174 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: that this is kind of similar to what we were 175 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: seeing from Clark Schmidt early in his Yankee career, where 176 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: that third time through the order he would kind of 177 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: either lose the zone or things were a little flatter 178 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: and guys try to get to him. And I think 179 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: the difference between a pitcher that's just kind of okay 180 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: in the show, guy who's really really good is going 181 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: to be that third time through and if they can 182 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: navigate the lineup for the third time. So he's a 183 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: young guy and I think he's still kind of learning 184 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: how to do that. It seemed to me like he 185 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: was maybe nibbling a little bit in that sixth inning 186 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: and he wasn't really just kind of trusting his stuff 187 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: and just like throwing it. And David Cone made that 188 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: point too, like you know, you don't want to give 189 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: up runs, obviously, but you got to get outs and 190 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: sometimes you just got to throw strikes and let a 191 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: guy hit it and hope he hits it right at somebody. 192 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: So encouraging start like he's he's looked honestly better than 193 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: I would have anticipated this season, but maybe more. There's 194 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 1: more there, and I'm curious. I guess to let him 195 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: keep starting games and seeing if he can kind of 196 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: kind of keep developing, if you will. 197 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm optimistic about his stuff because he does 198 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: continue to strike out hitters, but again, still growing pains. 199 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 2: This is all the you know, stuff that comes with 200 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 2: being a young pitcher. So whenever TK is on, well 201 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 2: not every time, but most of the time, we pick 202 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: a few topics that are relevant in the Yankees universe, 203 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: and a few of them keep popping back up. So 204 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: we're going to talk about a few of those next 205 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: in State of the Yanks. What's all right there in 206 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: front of us? All right, So my thoughts on jazz, 207 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: you know, the jazz that we've seen the last couple 208 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: of days has been the guy that I want to 209 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 2: see more of. You know, he put on a show 210 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: tonight and he had the power, the speed. When I 211 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 2: was in high school, we had this kid named Josh 212 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: and he had absolutely massive power. He was hitting four 213 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: hundred foot home runs when nobody else could do it. 214 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: He would hit five or six home runs every batting practice, 215 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: and everybody was like, man, you are going to be 216 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: such an awesome player. You're cann hit so many home runs. 217 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 2: But then he only hit like two home runs all 218 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 2: season as a freshman, and then I think after that 219 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 2: he quit baseball. But you know the reason that he 220 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 2: didn't hit home runs in the game was because he 221 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: was trying to. You know, he had natural power. When 222 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: he was just swinging, he had the bat speed, he 223 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 2: had the correct kind of launch angle, he would get backspin, 224 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: he would hit massive home runs. I feel like Jazz 225 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: is kind of that guy where if he just takes 226 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 2: his normal swing and just plays his game, he's got power. 227 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: He's not going to be a forty five home run guy, 228 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 2: but he'll hit you home runs. And the benefit is 229 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 2: when he's just getting base hits and hitting line drives 230 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: like he was tonight, he can disrupt on the bases. 231 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: Like you said earlier, he can be a nuisance. It 232 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: just makes the game more fun. You see the other 233 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 2: team throwing balls away. You know, the other night he 234 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: steals second, ball gets away, he takes third. You know. 235 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: I love the guy's bat speed, I love his energy. 236 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: The guy I don't want him to be is the 237 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: guy that swings from his shoes and tries to hit 238 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: the ball like Griffy with that big uppercut every time. 239 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: Stick to his game, stay up the middle. He's got 240 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: obviously the power to go deep to center. That's what 241 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 2: I want to see from him, total baseball package. 242 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent. I think he's been that guy 243 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: since he's gotten back. I think the player that he 244 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: was when the season started versus pre injury and post injury, 245 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: what he is now is a totally different guy. And 246 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: I think it has a lot to do with the 247 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: comments of he's just trying to get those base hits, 248 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: and I think you can see it mechanically. There's a 249 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: difference in his swing, Like I don't think there's as 250 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: big of a hitch in his swing. He still does 251 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: it like a little bit, but he's a lot quicker 252 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: to the ball and he's kind of taking what the 253 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: pitcher gives him and goes with it. So I've been 254 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: really happy to see what I've seen from him, and 255 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: I was interested to know. So they put him at third, 256 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: and we were talking about this, like we would rather 257 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: have DJ over at third. I think he can play 258 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: a very solid third base. I agree think that he 259 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: plays a very solid third base, especially for a guy 260 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: who like got traded to the Yankees and they were like, hey, 261 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: by the way, you're gonna play third and he had 262 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: never done it before. So it just shows what kind 263 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: of athlete he is. Seems like a team guy. He 264 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: was fully for it. He's like, you know, I'm wearing 265 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: number thirteen for a reason because a Rod was over 266 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: there and I love what I'm seeing. So maybe that's 267 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: sold the third base issue and they're looking more at 268 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: maybe second base if they feel like DJ can't cut it. 269 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: We can talk about that a little bit later, but 270 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of where I'm at. Maybe third is kind 271 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: of a solved thing now. 272 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope. So now you mentioned his defense at 273 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: third base, do you think that maybe he's playing with 274 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: a little bit more confidence because he's more comfortable playing 275 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: third base, right? I mean, you take his attention away 276 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: from trying to get back into the groove of second base, 277 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: which is a more active spot, right you. I remember 278 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: when Drew Henson retired from baseball, one of the reasons 279 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: that he said he quit was because he hadn't hit 280 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: been hit a ball at third base in three days. 281 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: And I was like, that's so funny. I mean, obviously 282 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: you get more action than that at the big league level, 283 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: but the third baseman I think impacts the game much 284 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 2: less than the second basement defensively, and so you don't 285 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 2: really need to be as as sharp, you know, you know, 286 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: rangey and things like that. But you know, maybe just 287 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: the move back the third base had him comfortable. And 288 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: I'm liking what we're seeing, obviously since he's come back 289 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: so tonight we had Devin Williams close it out. The 290 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 2: other night, he had a save where it was, you know, 291 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: by the skin of his teeth, and I feel like 292 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: we're gonna have a lot of blood pressure incidents over 293 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 2: the next month or six weeks. But how you feeling 294 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: about them continuing to give him the ball in the 295 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: ninth inning. 296 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I feel like they're listen, they're 297 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: going to They're just gonna Devin Williams is the closer 298 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,119 Speaker 1: until Luke Weaver's back. That's just what's gonna happen. I myself, 299 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I think would rather have them look at Fernando Cruz 300 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: being the closer of some sort of closer by committee 301 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,479 Speaker 1: until Weaver's back. With Cruz kind of getting a majority 302 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: of the nods. It's just like, Devin Williams got the 303 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: job done tonight. Give credit to him, But I just 304 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: feel like it's always like you're ripping your teeth out 305 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: whenever he comes in, and you just like everybody in 306 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: the stadium is like, oh my god. And then he 307 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: gets he lets the first guy on, he walks and 308 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: gives up a base hit, whatever hits the guy, and 309 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: I just feel like the stadium is just like, oh, 310 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: here we go, and that just kind of gets in 311 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: his mind. I just think that he thinks about that. 312 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a body language. I'm not on 313 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: the field with him obviously, but just like watching the 314 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: game body language wise, it just it just comes off 315 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: that way. 316 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Frankie says he has more belts than Devin Williams. 317 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: What does that tell you? Frankie with the belt last 318 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: night for help on us out while I was without Internet. 319 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: I am in Frankie's debt. Yankee Basher says, Lowizaga for closer. 320 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: You know, Loliza Gay has not looked great. I mean, 321 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 2: he's been okay, but he had trouble against the Dodgers. 322 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: I guess, I mean, I'm sure they'll try it at 323 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 2: some point. I don't know if the I don't know 324 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: if they want to lean into that yet, but I 325 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: have no problem if they sent him out to close 326 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: a game, like I feel pretty comfortable with him right now. 327 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: He'd a scoreless inning tonight did allow a hit. But yeah, 328 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: I mean, Fernando Cruz is a guy that has great stuff, 329 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: but I don't want him closing either, because he loses 330 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 2: the strike zone too much. I kind of like him 331 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: where he's at, So I guess I mean, you just 332 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: kind of stuck with Williams until or Mark Leider until 333 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: a dream Weaver gets back. But get well soon. Speaking 334 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: of getting well soon, John Carlos Stanton is gonna be 335 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: on a rehab assignment. We're gonna have him probably in 336 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: that road trip Casey and Boston. Man, I can't wait 337 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: to see him hitting in Boston. So we've been talking 338 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 2: about this for months. Now what are the Yankees gonna do? 339 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: And it's time for our final prediction? How do you 340 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: think they're gonna handle the Stanton Rice Goldschmidt, the three 341 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: body problem. 342 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 1: Yes, it is definitely a problem. Now They're gonna definitely 343 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: have to be creative. One thing you could look into 344 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: is that I would say that Austin Wells has been 345 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: disappointing this year. I think that's fair to say. I 346 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: don't think he's had the offensive year that you and 347 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: I thought, and Frankie can give us what our over 348 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: unders were on that, but he's been disappointing. So I 349 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: think maybe Rice catch a game like once a week 350 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: just to get at least like four extra at bats 351 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: like that. I would think that they'll maybe try to 352 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 1: do this sort of like platoon situation. But Stanton's gonna 353 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: need like a lot of at bats for him to 354 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: kind of get back in there. He's terrible as a 355 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: pinch hitter in his career. The history has shown us 356 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: that you can look up the stats, but I think 357 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: for this is Rice may have to catch a few 358 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: games or play first a couple of games. And like 359 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: you said, Golchman's kind of slumping, so it's gonna be 360 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: kinda who has the hot hands. I was over nineteen 361 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: and a half homers for Whiles. Yeah, Derek, you were under. 362 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: That's what Frankie just put up there. So he's been 363 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: kind of disappointing. So I think maybe Rice catching would 364 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 1: would be interesting, just to give him some extra at bats. 365 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I can see that too. I think 366 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 2: this is kind of what they're going to try and 367 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: figure out. So he's been playing about four or five 368 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: times a week as it is, like he still gets 369 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: a couple of days off a week, so I think 370 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: they're gonna try and maintain that. But I think Wells 371 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: is going to lose him at bats. I think Goldschmith's 372 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 2: gonna lose him at bats. I think during the heat 373 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: of the summer they're gonna use the excuse of, well, 374 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 2: he's thirty seven years old, he's slowed down a little bit. 375 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: Let's get him some rest. Let's get Austin well some 376 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: rest during the heat of the summer. But also wils 377 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: been swinging the bat a little bit better lately. So 378 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 2: I think you'll see Rice probably one day a week 379 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: at each of those spots, catching and first base, and 380 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: then I think you'll see him continue to DH a 381 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 2: couple of times a week, and you'll see Stanton play 382 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: about five times a week, maybe four times in a 383 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 2: week in a game in a week where they had six, 384 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 2: you know, games, and you'll see him get pinch hit 385 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 2: at bats in the games where he doesn't start. So 386 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: let's say it's let's say there's a lefty pitching right 387 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: and you go with, you know, Stanton at DH, and 388 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: you got Goldschmidt at first base. Seventh inning, rolls around, okay, 389 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: and they bring in a side arm to face Stanton, 390 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: you go to Rice. I mean, I think they will 391 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: pinch hit for Stanton against certain pitchers. I think at 392 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 2: this point in his career, it's not an insult. It's 393 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 2: just like it's facts are what they are. Rice hits 394 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: righty's better than Stanton does. So in a tough situation, 395 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 2: a big spot, maybe not even maybe not with the 396 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: game on the line, they probably wouldn't want to disrespect 397 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: Stanton like that. But I can see a situation where 398 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 2: it's like maybe the seventh inning they want to use 399 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: the excuse, well, let's get Stanton off his feet a 400 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 2: little bit. I think that's kind of what they're gonna do. 401 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: But I think for the most part, your DH is 402 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 2: gonna be John Carlos Stanton Against lefties, it's gonna be 403 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 2: Ben Rice a couple of days against righty's, and then 404 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: he'll be first base and catcher a couple of other days. 405 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: That's kind of how I think that they're gonna figure 406 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: it out, and then you know what's interesting and this 407 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: has got to be just for fun. Goldschmid was taking 408 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: ground balls at second base. 409 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I knew you're gonna bring that up. It's 410 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: just funny to kind of throw that out there. 411 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, nothing burger, nothing burger. All right, So a 412 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 2: few more things to get through. So Carlos Rodn and 413 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 2: Max Freed, I mean, I think they're the best one 414 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: two punch in the American League this year, do you 415 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: concur I mean, is this our Shilling and Johnson duo. 416 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: Right now? That is the case. I don't think there's 417 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: anybody that I can think of that's healthy that is 418 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: approximating that. If I'm gonna say everyone's healthy, the only 419 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: other teams I could think that maybe would be competitive 420 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: with that is Seattle Logan Gilbert George Kirby. That's a 421 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: pretty nice one two there. Trying to think of who, 422 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: I guess in Detroit you have Trek s Google and 423 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: Jack Flaherty. That would be a pretty nice one too. 424 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: But I think just in terms of health and what 425 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: the season has shown us so far, Freedom ro Don 426 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: are kind of one, and there's a lot of room 427 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: until you get to number two there, but those would 428 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: be the only two that I throw out there as 429 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: possible other choices. 430 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, looking good so far, DJ Lemayhew since coming back. 431 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier. I mean, even though you had 432 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: that four hit game, he's had a couple of knocks 433 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: tonight he was one for three, but six twenty oh 434 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: ps two thirty six average. To me, he just seems 435 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: like a very below average hitter at this point in 436 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: his career. 437 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 4: What do you think? 438 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm not overly impressed with him. I 439 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: think the Yankees are just kind of hoping they can 440 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: squeeze a little bit more out of him. So he's 441 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: got this year and next year. Next year would be 442 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: the final year of his contract at fifteen million a year, 443 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: So I don't even know if he'll be on the team, Nate. 444 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: They might just dfa him in the offseason and eat 445 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: that last year, man, honest. 446 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 2: So you know how I like to talk about when 447 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 2: the calculus for things changes. Here, I'm gonna throw this 448 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: at you. Corbyn Burns just went out with Tommy John. 449 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: He has done for the year. They're talking about trading 450 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: Zach Gallon. Uh, they've got Merrill Kelly possibly getting dealt. 451 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 2: If the d Backs decide to unload and break it down, 452 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 2: Kateel Marte for second base. 453 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: Ah, Man, that would be really nice. I've wanted to 454 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: tell Marte for a long time, but I don't know 455 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: he would command a lot. I got to look up 456 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: what his contract is right now. 457 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: I'll get his contract. I'll get his baseball reference or his. 458 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: Base but. 459 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 4: Hit. 460 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: That would be a really nice fit. And you'd have 461 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: Jazz just stay at third, switch hitter at second. I mean, yeah, 462 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: how could you not How could you not love that? 463 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: I just think that it would commit. Yeah, look at 464 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: that Coutell Marte right now, he's on a seven year, 465 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixteen million dollar deal, so he's got 466 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: forge in this year, fifteen next year, and then twelve 467 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty seven, and then he makes twenty twenty two, 468 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 1: twenty two and eleven point five. So he really not 469 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: making that much and you have him under control for 470 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: a long time. So if the Diamondbacks are really wanting 471 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: to unload, that would be a I guess a larger 472 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: contract they'd want to they want to unload. So yeah, 473 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: there are deferrals until the back end of the contract. 474 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: But so he's he's gonna be thirty two soon, so 475 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: he's got eight years of service time, so he's at yeah, 476 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: thirty one. Okay, so he's thirty one right now. He'll 477 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: be thirty two next year. That'd be a really nice fit. 478 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: I just don't know what the Diamondbacks would want in return. 479 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: I mean, he is their franchise player and he's on 480 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: a cheap deal, so it's unlikely. But I'm just throwing 481 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: it out there. We're having fun. It is a podcast, 482 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 2: after all. So right now, it looks like the Yankees 483 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: are gonna cruise in the American League East. I can't 484 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: see anybody catching them. I mean, the Rays are five 485 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: and a half back. Red Sox now ten and a 486 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: half back after tonight, I don't think the Rays have 487 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: what it takes to overcome the Yankees. The Blue Jays 488 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 2: don't scare me in the least. They're six games back, 489 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 2: so that really just leaves like who else in the 490 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 2: American League could knock us out? I mean in the 491 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: AL Central, the Tigers are off to a great start 492 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: forty two and twenty three. They took two out of 493 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 2: three from US. The Astros have overtaken the Mariners out West. 494 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 2: Yankees don't play them until August, and then they play 495 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 2: them again in September, and the Mariners are falling off 496 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 2: like they typically do. 497 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 4: But I think the. 498 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 2: Yankees and the Tigers are the AL matchup right now. 499 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's what we're looking at, assuming 500 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 2: that there's no upsets in the earlier rounds. But right now, 501 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you got to figure out a 502 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 2: way to, you know, over to match up with them 503 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 2: and overcome you know what they have now, they do 504 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 2: have school Tarik Skubel, who is probably gonna win another 505 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 2: side young and he's unbelievable. You just got to hope 506 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: that he wears out, that they ride him, they ride 507 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: him into the dirt, and that he's tired by the 508 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: time playoffs come around. 509 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say Detroit is the only team. So 510 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: they're forty two and twenty three right now. Yankees are 511 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: thirty nine and twenty three, and then the Rays are 512 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: five and a half games back. The Rays, I kind 513 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: of think the Rays are just this. They're always there. 514 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: I don't I'm not totally throwing them away. I don't 515 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: see them as a legitimate threat as of now, obviously, 516 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: but they're always going to kind of linger, I think, 517 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: and they're always going to be a pain in the ass. 518 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, Detroit is really the only team in the 519 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: American League that really scares me. Houston being thirty five 520 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: and twenty eight. Do they bounce back this season? You know, 521 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: just if you see them in the playoffs, whether it's 522 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: the DS or the CS. I don't know if that 523 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: kind of minimate has been a house of horrors for 524 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: us in October. I don't know if that kind of 525 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: comes back mentally, I know. 526 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: It would be nice to knock them out. Not a 527 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 2: lot of players on the team now, but that would 528 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 2: still like the fans would love it, Yeah, I love 529 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: it so much. All right, So quick quick word from 530 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 2: our friends at foul Territory about Arena Club and then 531 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 2: we'll be back with some final comments from the chat 532 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: and to wrap things up after the Yankees take Game 533 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: one of the series. Back in sixty seconds. 534 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 4: Ft fan by now, you know, if you're buying, selling, 535 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: trading collecting cards, Arena Club is the spot. We've been 536 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 4: talking about them all season long. But I do want 537 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 4: to focus on the slab pack experience, scrats, since you've 538 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: been ripping some slab packs digitally and what happens. 539 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 3: I mean, as a kid, you wanted to rip open 540 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 3: the packs. 541 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 2: How can they do this digitally? 542 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 3: Oh? Baby, this is exciting how the graphics come out 543 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: and everything.

But if you look at it and 548 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 4: you're like, it's not the card for me, I want 549 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 4: to sell back, go for it.

It's part of the way that we fund 559 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 2: this whole podcast. Got all sorts of Yankees merch hats, mugs, hoodies, 560 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: T shirts, all that good stuff. 561 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 4: TK. 562 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: Any closing thoughts tonight, I'm gonna go through the comments 563 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: here and put some good ones on the screen. 564 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: I would say, just I'm looking at the standings right now, 565 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: and it's kind of wild to me that the Yankees 566 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 1: are actually one game better than the Dodgers. So if 567 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: you just said, I think if you told everyone that 568 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: in back in like what February, I think everyone would 569 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: would be surprised by that. And the most surprising is 570 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: is Detroit the best team in baseball forty two and 571 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: twenty three. The only thing that annoys me, Derek, is 572 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: like I look at the record thirty nine and twenty 573 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 1: three for the Yankees, and I'm like, those five games, man, 574 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: those five games that they'd be they'd have forty four 575 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: wins right now, they'd be the best team in baseball. 576 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 1: But that's baseball. Season works out that way sometimes, So 577 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: maybe they'll steal in couple. 578 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, overall, I'm feeling pretty good about the 579 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 2: start that the Yankees got off to without Garrett Cole. 580 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,239 Speaker 2: If you had asked me the morning after Garrett Cole 581 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: went down if the Yankees would be five and a 582 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 2: half games up on June sixth, and they would have 583 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 2: a they would be sixteen games over five hundred. I 584 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 2: would have said, not a chance in hell. But hey, 585 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: look they've they've played well. Got to give a big 586 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: shout out to plan b Goldschmidt, Freed, Bellinger, all pulling 587 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: their weight, all staying healthy, everybody on the field. And 588 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 2: you know we've seen development from some young guys. You know, 589 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 2: Boby's having a little bit better year than he had. 590 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 2: Not a huge improvement, but enough of improvement to make 591 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: a little bit of a difference. Let's hope he gets 592 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: better soon. You know, the Martian has had some big moments. 593 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,479 Speaker 2: We got the walk off and Jazz now heating back up. 594 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 2: Hopefully he can be a very consistent player for us 595 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: down the stretch.
