1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Him to pull caps.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: All all right, Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Yankees going

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: for their seventh series win in a row, beginning tonight

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: in Anaheim against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, of California,

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 2: of Earth. And I feel pretty good about this series.

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: I like the pitching matchups. As you'll see, we're gonna

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: take a look at the lineup for Game one right now.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 2: Ben Rice in the leadoff spot tonight. You see that

9
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmid getting the night off despite being red hot lately.

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: Ben Rice in the leadoff spot at first base. Trent

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: Grisham has really cooled off. We're gonna be talking about

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: who's hot and who's not in just a few minutes.

13
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: And spoiler alert, he's part of it because he has

14
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: been ice cold. Obviously, the Yankees are trying to get

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: him back on track, give him more reps. But you know,

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: he might be reverting to the guy he's been for

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: so long. It might have just been a hot streak.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: Not everybody can stay hot the whole season. Like Aaron Judge,

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: Cody Bellinger been swinging the bat well, he is in

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: the cleanup spot. I skipped over Aaron Judge He's a

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: the DH. Jason Dominguez in left field. Tonight he is

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: batting fifth. I keep waiting for Jason Dominguez to really

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: go on a hot streak like he's shown us some flashes.

24
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: He had the three home run game against the A's

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: in Sacramento. He had the walk off home run. He's

26
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: had a couple of multi hit games. He's done some

27
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 2: nice things. But I want to see one of those

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: stretches where he hits about five hundred for two weeks,

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: you know, get really really hot. We saw some better

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: swings as a right hander the other day. We'll talk

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: more about that as the series moves along. Anthony Volpi

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: batting sixth at shortstop. He continues to get a lot

33
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: of hate but having a very solid year. Austin Wells

34
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: is batting sixth. Oh wait, sorry, went to three, four

35
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: to five? Yes, sixth seventh. Sorry I lost track. I

36
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: lost count. Here he's batting seventh. He is the catcher,

37
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: and we got some calls about him. You know, the

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: way j c Escara has been playing, I think it's

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: worth evaluating whether or not Iscara should get more at bats.

40
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean, the Yankees love Austin Wells, obviously, but has

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: not really been getting done offensively. Orbit Vivas at second

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: base Tonight, DJ Lemayhew gets the night off and Oswald Parazza,

43
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: hoping his bat gets going, he is at third base.

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge basically said that he wants Paraza to get

45
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: more of an opportunity to get going. He thinks that

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: Paraza will hit given more of an opportunity. I personally

47
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: think that if the objective of baseball was to hit

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: slow rollers to third base, Oswald Perozza would be the

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: greatest of all time. That's that's I feel. Agg the

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: third says he hates our lineup tonight. Well, you know,

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: they can't all be winners. And the pitcher that the

52
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 2: Yankees are facing tonight is somebody they should be able

53
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: to hit with this lineup. We'll take a look at

54
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: him real quick. Jack Kakanoics COCINOICCKX. I don't know how

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: to say. I've never seen him before. Six foot seven,

56
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty eight pounds, so he's a big fella.

57
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: But you look at the metrics, they're not great. Other

58
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: than the fastball velocity in the ground ball percentage, he

59
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: doesn't have a lot that impresses you. He is a sinkerballer,

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: so he does keep them all on the ground with

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: a ninety five plus mile an hour sinker, but the

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: average exit velocity is not good. He doesn't get a

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: lot of swings in misses. He doesn't have much of

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: an off speed pitch to speak of. He throws a slider,

65
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: in a change, and a sweeper. None of them are

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: particularly good. And for being six foot seven, he doesn't

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: get a lot of extension on the ball. Is actually

68
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: a below average in terms of extension. So that's interesting.

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: But this is a guy who's a former third round

70
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: pick ninety two overall. This is his third or sorry,

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: his second year in the in the majors. He is

72
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: three and five with a five point zero three ERA.

73
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: Last year he was two and six with a three

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: point nine to nine in eleven starts. So I like

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: the Yankees chances tonight. But we got some calls to

76
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: get to let's go ahead and play some calls.

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Say Derek from Long Island here, I have a question.

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: Do you think the way that Astara is playing, do

79
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 3: you think he's going to be getting more playing time Overwell,

80
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: thank you, that's.

81
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: A great question, and it's it's worthy of discussion. Now,

82
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: he's not qualified in the stat cast metrics because he

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: doesn't have a ton of it bats. You see, he's

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: only got eleven hits on the year, but his chase

85
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: percentage is elite, his strikeout percentage is elite, walk percentage

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: fantastic with percentage is elite. Bat speed well above average.

87
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: You know, his ex wOBA is you know, right above

88
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: league average if he qualified. You know, as a defensive player,

89
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: you know, his framing is up there with Wells, and

90
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: his blocks are better than Wells. Now, he doesn't have

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: a great arm, but neither does Wells, so it's worth considering.

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: He is in two forty four, he's got a three

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 2: fifty two on base percentage, thirty year old rookie. I'd

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: be interested to see if they give him more playing time.

95
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: You know, Wells has been a big prospect for the

96
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Yankees for a long time, obviously a first round draft pick,

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 2: all these expectations. He's got a great swing, finished third

98
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: in the Rookie of the Year voting last year. But look,

99
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: he just hasn't gotten it going. I'm gonna pull up

100
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 2: Austin Wells stat cast numbers also and just so you

101
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: can see for comparison here. His numbers are not fantastic.

102
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: He's hitting two to nine. He does barrel the ball

103
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: pretty well. He's got some hard hit you know, baseball's.

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: His bat speed is well above average x Woba's not great.

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: Expected batting average not great. Strikeout percentage and walk percentage

106
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: both well below jac Escara. Now, his framing's in the

107
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: ninety eighth percentile, and the Yankees really really value framing.

108
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: His blocks not great, and hiss caught stealing is about

109
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: league average. That's gotten better recently. But honestly, he hasn't

110
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: really impressed me that much. I keep waiting for him

111
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: to take the next step, and he hasn't done it.

112
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: The two seventy eight on base percentage is concerning, you know,

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: and I get that he's a young guy, but you

114
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: want to see a little bit more. You want to

115
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: see him take that next step forward. They love his defense.

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 2: A good defensive catcher is extremely valuable, but the framing

117
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 2: is basically where all of his value comes from at

118
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: this point. So I think it's worthy of discussion. Let

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 2: me know in the comments how you feel. Let's see here.

120
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: So all right, let's take a look at the pitching

121
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: matchups for the series. So we got Ryan Yarborough going tonight,

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: and he's not gonna, you know, blow the doors off.

123
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a guy who doesn't throw very hard,

124
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: but he just keeps having solid outing after solid outing.

125
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: He's pitched in eleven games with the Yankees. He's made

126
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 2: three starts, so tonight will be fourth start. And you

127
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 2: see he keeps the exit velocity down. He induces soft contact,

128
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: which is so important as a pitcher. The barrel percentage

129
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 2: in the ninety second percentile, the hard hit percentage in

130
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: the ninety ninth percentile. He's also got a pretty good

131
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: fifth percentage in the sixty ninth percentile, very nice, and

132
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, walks about league average. And the fastball is

133
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: in the first percentile, which is bad. It averages eighty

134
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: seven point six miles an hour. He throws the sinker,

135
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: he throws the sweeper, he throws the change up and

136
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: the cutter. The pitch he throws the most is the sinker.

137
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: And you look at the ground ball percentage. You would

138
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: expect somebodyho throws the sinker that much to get a

139
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: ton of ground balls, but he's only in the twenty

140
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: ninth percentile, so bottom third of the league. But he

141
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: is a crafty, crafty veteran. He's one of these lefties

142
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: that is sticking around for a while because he knows

143
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: how to pitch. He's thirty three. If he stays healthy,

144
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: I bet he's still pitching in the league when he's

145
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: thirty seven, thirty eight, if not older than that, he

146
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 2: might not be starting for that whole time. But he's

147
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: gonna keep a job in the big leagues if he

148
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: can get guys out right, I mean lefties that are crafty.

149
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: Look at Jamie Moyer, how long he stayed in the league.

150
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: He pitched though he was damn near fifty years old, right,

151
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: And then you look at tomorrow. We've got Carlos Rodin

152
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: on the mound who is pretty much pull their opposite.

153
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna pull up Carlos Rodin's numbers too, because

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: he has really turned things around. I know we've been

155
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: following this all year, but he has basically become the

156
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: guy that he was when the Yankee signed him, right,

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: the guy that was with San Francisco and was so

158
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: dominant and was dominant with the White Sox pitching run

159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: value in the ninety eighth percentile. He's made eleven starts.

160
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: Look at the strikeouts, eighty strikeouts in sixty five and

161
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: two thirds innings. His breaking ball run value has been phenomenal.

162
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: His slider is terrific. He's throwing the change more this year.

163
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: He's throwing the sinker more and every time out. He

164
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: just seems to get more and more efficient, more and

165
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: more confident. You wonder if the beard having the grow

166
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: the beard is making him feel a little bit more

167
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: comfortable in his own skin. And we talked to the

168
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: other night about how he has gotten himself into better condition,

169
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: better shape. Right, he's stronger, he should be able to

170
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: be more durable. He's had some injury problems in his career,

171
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: but no signs of that. This year. He has been

172
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: extremely strong. The back doesn't seem to be an issue.

173
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: You remember when he first got to the Yankees, there

174
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 2: was all this talk about, oh, chronic back issue, and

175
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: you know, will he ever be the same. Well, after

176
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 2: a tough start to his Yankees career six point eighty five,

177
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: ra I believe in his first season, he's really turned

178
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: it around and he's shown me something. And you know,

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 2: we gave this guy a lot of grief, you know,

180
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 2: at least in his first year, a little bit last year,

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: and then to start off this year, he got off

182
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: to a tough start, but pitching much much better. And

183
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: then Tyler Anderson will be getting the start against us.

184
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: He's somebody that as we talk about trades, you will

185
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: hear his name. He's somebody that's been linked to the

186
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: Yankees in the past. It'll be interesting to see if

187
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: the Yankees are still interested in him. I'm gonna pull

188
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: up his stat cast numbers as well. I've never been

189
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: a huge fan of Tyler Anderson, and I'll show you

190
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: why not. A lot of strikeouts and too many walks.

191
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: That's not a great combination. A couple of years ago

192
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: he had a five point four to three era. He

193
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: induces contact, but to be fair, his hard hit percentage

194
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: is well above average.

195
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 4: It's elite.

196
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: He keeps the ball off the barrel. But I'm always

197
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: wary when somebody walks guys and doesn't strikeout guys. That

198
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: just that combination is not great. And also he gives

199
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: up fly balls. He doesn't keep the ball on the ground.

200
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: He is in just the eighth percent tile of ground

201
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: ball percentage, and that Yankee stadium that usually spells problems,

202
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: but off to a good start this year. Ten starts

203
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: three point six zero ERA, fifty five innings, forty three strikeouts,

204
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: So we'll see him tomorrow. I like the Yankees in

205
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: that matchup. A lot of times in baseball, you can

206
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: kind of predict how a series is gonna go based

207
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 2: on the pitching matchups, right. I mean it doesn't always

208
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 2: work out exactly how you plan, but usually the team

209
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: with the advantage in pitching wins the games. Right, you say, Kokuchi,

210
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: we'll get the start in Game three for the Angels.

211
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: He's somebody that I've always liked him as a pitcher.

212
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: When he was a free agent, I wanted the Yankees

213
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: to get involved.

214
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 5: Now.

215
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: I know he's one in four, but you look at

216
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: the ERA three point one seven. But again, his metrics

217
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: are not terrific either. You know, again, not great with

218
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: walks and doesn't strike out a ton of guys. Breaking

219
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 2: ball is pretty good. Throws a slider, change up, curve,

220
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: sink or sweeper, so a big pitch mix. He'll throw

221
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: the kitchen sink at you. He went nine to ten

222
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: with a four point h five er down the stretch.

223
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 2: He was pretty good with Houston, but he's somebody to

224
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. I don't know if the Angels

225
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: are gonna sell, but you know a left handed pitchers

226
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: always have I'll market. So let's take a look at

227
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: who's hot who's not as we head into the series.

228
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: So Aaron Judge, we can pretty much always keep him

229
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: in the who's hot column. He really hasn't cooled off

230
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: all year. He's been hot since the season began. Three

231
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: forty two average over the last ten games, four home

232
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: runs and seven ribbies. Paul Goldschman over the last ten

233
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 2: games remains hot. He's not in the starting lineup tonight,

234
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: but that doesn't mean we won't see him. We've seen

235
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: him pinch hit a few times. He had that big

236
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: pinch hit home run against the Mariners. Three point fifty

237
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: three average, one home run, six RBIs over his last

238
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: ten games. Now, looking at who is not a couple

239
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: of guys we've already talked about. Trent Grisham over his

240
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: last ten games one twenty nine, no home runs, and

241
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: two ribbies, So he has really really cooled off. You

242
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: wonder if they're going to keep running him out there

243
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: or if they're just gonna say, all right, back to

244
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: being a part time player. You know, you can't let

245
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: him hit one twenty nine for too long. Austin Wells

246
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: last ten games hitting one ninety four. That's not far

247
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,479
Speaker 2: below his season average though one home run and six RBIs.

248
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: So you know, hopefully we can turn it around with

249
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: these guys. You know, I wish Paul Goldsmith was in

250
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: the lineup tonight. I always hate when he's out of

251
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: lineup because he's so reliable. He's a hit machine. We

252
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: call him Goldieknox for a reason. But I do have

253
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: faith that the Yankees will at least take two out

254
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: of three in this series. I'm not demanding a sweep

255
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: like I was against the Rockies. I've learned my lesson there.

256
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: All right, get your predictions in the chat. My prediction tonight,

257
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Judge is going deep. I think he's

258
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: gonna hit number nineteen. He doesn't stay out of the

259
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: home run lead for too long and show, hey, Otani

260
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: just hit his nineteen, so he is no longer leading

261
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. And Judge is gonna take that personally.

262
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: He's like Michael Jordan, I took that personally, So I

263
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: expect him to go deep tonight. He always seems to

264
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: hit well in Anaheim, and you know, I feel good

265
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: about him. Egg the Third says he's predicting a sweep.

266
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: I'll take it. I'll sign up for it. John ker

267
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: And says, why is Grisham batting?

268
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 4: Second?

269
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: I agree, when a guy's struggling that much, why not

270
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 2: put him at the bottom of the order. Valdez says,

271
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 2: he's an Anaheim right now. See of Yankees fans, it

272
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: does seem like the Yankees get a lot of fans

273
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 2: when they go to anaim Maybe that's one of the

274
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: reasons I like it when they play there. We got

275
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: some people saying that the Yankees should trade for Mackenzie Gore.

276
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't think the

277
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: Nationals will give him up. He's one of their young

278
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: top pitchers, so he was part I believe of the

279
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: Juan Soto deal. Anyway, get your predictions in the comments.

280
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: A quick word on trades. So the other day we

281
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 2: did a segment on Yankees' trade targets, and I got

282
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: some pushback from the audience who were kind of perplexed

283
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: that I wanted the Yankees to upgrade the bullpen and

284
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: third base before they went after a starting pitcher, and

285
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: people are like, how could you not be all in

286
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: for starting pitching? So I kind of wanted to give

287
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 2: my rationale and maybe you'll agree with it, maybe you won't,

288
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: but let me know how you feel in the comments.

289
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: Carlos Rodon and Max Freed have been exactly what you

290
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: want at the top of a playoff rotation, right and

291
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: they both having elite seasons. Rodin looks better than he

292
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: ever has in pinstripes, maybe than he ever has in

293
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: his career. Given the pitch mix, Freed could win the

294
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: Cy Young Award this year. But there's somebody we're forgetting.

295
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: Louis Heal is coming back and probably a month a

296
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: month and a half, and he's gonna be fresh. He's

297
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 2: gonna be fresh, and he's gonna be in mid season

298
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 2: form as the playoffs roll around. That gives you three

299
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: really good starters you need four for the playoffs. Will

300
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 2: Warren has the lowest fielding independent pitching in baseball over

301
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 2: the last month, and Clark Schmidt. He started games in

302
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: the World Series last year. He is a solid pitcher

303
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: who's not having a great year, but for the most

304
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: part he's solid. He's also somebody the Yankees could trade

305
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,239
Speaker 2: if they do want to make some kind of an upgrade.

306
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: Clark Smid is somebody who has some value. But you

307
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: only need four starters in October. So if you go

308
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: out and get a fifth starter, you go out and

309
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: get another starter, you're basically you're getting a I don't

310
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of one two out there. You're getting

311
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: like a four or a five. And the prices go

312
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 2: up for pitching at the trade deadline, so I think

313
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: you're overpaying for a guy who's probably not gonna be great.

314
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: What I would rather see them do is go out

315
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: and get another couple of bullpen arms. Right, Statistically, the

316
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: bullpen ranks fine, but the games they've lost and the

317
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: games that they could have lost have in large part

318
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: been due to bullpen meltdowns. Right, I don't trust Mark Lighter.

319
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: Devin Williams in a big spot still gives me the

320
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: hebgb's Tim Hill has not been the same guy this year.

321
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: I want one more swing and miss arm out of

322
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: the bullpen. You know, find somebody who throws triple digits

323
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: and can throw strikes. That's what we need. You need

324
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: scary in October, and the Yankees don't have a lot

325
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: of scary Lowiza get pretty good. Adding him is gonna help,

326
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 2: but they need a high octane wipe out. Put you

327
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: on your ass reliever to fix to fill out this

328
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: pitching staff. Also, third base, you know Oswaldo Cabrera, he

329
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 2: was playing okay, you know, but he's gonna be out

330
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season most likely. I mean,

331
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: even if he does come back, he's not gonna be

332
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. He's gonna be a diminished version of himself.

333
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: And oswald Peaza we just said king of slow rollers

334
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: to third base. You know, he's just not a majorly

335
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 2: hitter at this point. If the objective of baseball was

336
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 2: to hit ground balls to third base, he would get

337
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: paid more than Wan Soto and show Heyo Tani combined.

338
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 2: But he's got an incredible glove, So the Yankees are

339
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: gonna keep running out there and hope that he hits.

340
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: But at the plate, you know, he's been overmatched. I

341
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 2: like orbit Vivas. He's playing second base tonight, but he's

342
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: played third base a few times. He's looked okay to me.

343
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: But if you're telling me the plan for the stretch

344
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: run and to get back to the World Series is

345
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: to hope that the rookie hits. I'm not sure. I'm

346
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: totally comfortable with that. There's no real bats at third

347
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: base in the system that are ready, that are playoff ready.

348
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 2: So if this team is serious about making a run,

349
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: my rationale and a grant again you might feel differently,

350
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: is that I want a third baseman and I want

351
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 2: at least one or two bullpen arms. That's what I'm

352
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 2: looking for. So we're seeing some people say Freddy Peralta.

353
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe he's got great stuff. I don't even

354
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 2: know what the Brewers are doing this year. Let me

355
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: just check on the Brewers real quick. If they're in contention,

356
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: I can't see them dealing Peralta right now. The Brewers

357
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: are twenty seven and twenty eight, so they're under five hundred.

358
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: So maybe if things take a turn for the worse,

359
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: but six and a half out by no means are

360
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 2: you out of it these days? You know, really it's

361
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: going to be the teams that are really out of

362
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: it that make moves or the teams that have log jams.

363
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: So you know, we talked about the Dbacks. They're twenty

364
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 2: six and twenty seven, but they have a log jam

365
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: in the infield. They have some prospects. That's why I

366
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 2: thought they might unload Eugenio Suarez. Suarez, you know, the

367
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: Pirates are bad. They're nineteen and thirty five. They'll probably

368
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: trade some guys. I don't think they'll trade Paul Skiings,

369
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: but they'll make some deals Marlins. They're always selling guys.

370
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 2: So hey, it is what it is. We're gonna take

371
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: a quick break, a word from the guys at foul

372
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: Territory about car Gurus, and then we've got one, two, three,

373
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: four voicemails that we'll get to and then we'll wrap

374
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: it up and get ready for the game. See in

375
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: sixty second.

376
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 6: Todd father and I are from Jersey, so we're used to, oh,

377
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 6: I got a guy, but sometimes that just means when

378
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 6: I'm looking for a car, I go to car Gurus.

379
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think, honestly, the best part about this

380
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 5: communication which we love here in Jersey where we're from,

381
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 5: and this is a place where you can get a car.

382
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 5: The price drops all the time, and they let you know.

383
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 5: They let you know when your car is ready and

384
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: when you can get it. The communication part is the

385
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 5: best thing for.

386
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,400

00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: All right, you got Clayton from the text from Texas

397
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: who called in, Hey.

398
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: Derek, is Clayton calling from Texas? You know, I'm just

399
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: I'm proud of the Yanks for what they've been able

400
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 4: to pull off, you know, these last couple series. I

401
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 4: think it's been awesome. I was there for the Mets

402
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 4: Game three that was unbelievable in the ballpark for that.

403
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 4: But I have to say, if there's one guy I'm

404
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 4: concerned about it as Austin Well, you know the guy,

405
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 4: you know, the last that he's he's done a good

406
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 4: job but overall he's been he's been having a tough time.

407
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: And I think the question that I would raise is

408
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 4: do you look at putting Ben Rice in at that

409
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 4: catcher spot over Austin Wells. Obviously we haven't seen much

410
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 4: from Rice in the h on the defensive side of

411
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 4: the catcher position, but do you look at putting him

412
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 4: in over Ben Rice or over Austin Wells?

413
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: You know, Ben Rice, j c Escara, two guys who

414
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: could take it bats from Austin Wells if he doesn't

415
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 2: start hitting. Look, I mean, I know the Yankees love him,

416
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: I know they love the defense, but if you start

417
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: searching for offense, you gotta go with guys who are hitting.

418
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: And I think that he could lose some at bats,

419
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: I really do.

420
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: We got Jason here, Hey, Derek, happy birthday man, he's Jason.

421
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: I know you even have an issue with your boy

422
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: smailing on my last couple, haven't it on your show?

423
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: But that's all right. Just wanted to make sure we's

424
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: to your happy birthday. You know, I'm really liking what

425
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: you Yankas are doing this season. You know, Hindsight's twenty twenty,

426
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: not getting SODA's turning out to be a good thing

427
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: so far in my opinion, and with all these haters

428
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: on Anthony Bolpi, I think what it really boils down

429
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: to for me is I love the kid. I think

430
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: he's a good, good, good guy for our team. But

431
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: I just think, you know, the what if? You know,

432
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: what if we had traded him when he was a

433
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: hot prospect, got something else in return for him, maybe

434
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: went after a guy like Seeger. But at the end

435
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: of the day, this is the position we're in. Can't

436
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: ask the what ifs. I think Bolpy's doing a great

437
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: job and help out areon Judge. I wanted your opinion, man,

438
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: what do you think is more likely Judge finishing with

439
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: a four hundred average or Judge breaking his home run record.

440
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 4: I don't think.

441
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: I don't think four hundred is gonna happen. He's already

442
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: under four hundred and we got what four months ago.

443
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna happen. I don't even think

444
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: sixty two is gonna happen this year. They're not pitching him,

445
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 2: I mean, sorry, they're not. They're not pitching to him

446
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 2: as much. You know, if their first base is open

447
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: and the game is close, he's getting walked. Look, I

448
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 2: don't think either one of them is gonna happen. But

449
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: three point fifty three sixty with fifty plus home runs,

450
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: you'll sign up for that every day. John Kernin says

451
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: he hates everything about Anthony Volpi. That sounds like a

452
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: you problem, man, Josh, he's a baseball player. He's a

453
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: twenty what four year old kid. If you hate everything

454
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 2: about him, you're an idiot. Okay, that's that's that's a

455
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 2: you problem.

456
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hi, Derek Speed, call up the Farmington.

457
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 7: I thought of an if you show that you that

458
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 7: I think the listeners might find interesting. Uh, we're about

459
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 7: a third the way into the season, and numbers are

460
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 7: starting to look like well indicative of the type of

461
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 7: season players are going to have. I think must be

462
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 7: interesting would be a look at some of the players

463
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 7: we wanted desperately to the trade for or to get

464
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 7: as a free agent. For instance, Christian Walker and Anthony's fantander.

465
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 7: They're having terrible seasons. I think it would be interesting

466
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 7: to look at a bunch of those of players that

467
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 7: we really coveted who were lucky we did not sign

468
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 7: or trade for. All Right, I think I haven't called

469
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 7: much lately. Team's been playing great. Nothing to complain about. Okay,

470
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 7: thank you, sir.

471
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. So I'll take a look at

472
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: a few of them. So first of all, Anthony Tantander

473
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: hitting one ninety three with six home runs, go ahead

474
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: and share his numbers here. They're not good in two

475
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 2: to eighty on base percentage with the Blue Jays a

476
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: negative war. Yankees were right to pass on him and

477
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: choosing gold Schmidt over Christian Walker. We're not giving cash

478
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: from enough credit for that. He did a great, great

479
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: job making that decision. Walker hitting two twelve with six

480
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 2: home runs. He began the season with an injury and

481
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: really hasn't recovered. And Matt Olsen is a guy that

482
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 2: I really really wanted a few years back. He is

483
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 2: hitting two thirty eight with tw a home runs, but

484
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: a two point one war. Let's take a look at

485
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 2: some other guys. Corey Seeger is somebody we looked at

486
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 2: that we all wanted the Yankees to go after hitting

487
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: three hundred and six home runs, but he's had some injuries,

488
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: he's been on the shelf. I mean, you know who

489
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: else could we who else could we look at that

490
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 2: that we wanted that we didn't get. You know, let

491
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: me know in the comments and we'll take a look.

492
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe tomorrow's pregame. But all right, got another call here.

493
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 8: This is Frank, Hey, Derek Frank from California.

494
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I'm hoping that the.

495
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 8: Yankees don't overpay for some pieces that we have solutions

496
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 8: for in house, big right handed back John Carloston athletic,

497
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 8: third basement jazzism. With the way DJ's playing, why over

498
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 8: spend DJ is playing great and starting rotation.

499
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 7: We got a Luis Eo coming back.

500
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 8: I mean, I hope we just don't go doing things

501
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 8: for sake of doing things.

502
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 1: Well.

503
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 8: Obviously we could use a great reliever, and I like

504
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 8: your boatist to pick if we could somehow get him

505
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 8: away from the Orioles.

506
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bautista is the guy that I want. That's it.

507
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Orioles will move him, but

508
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 2: if they do, the Yankee should be first in line.

509
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: So let's take a look at a couple of other

510
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: names that you guys wanted. Yoshinobu Yamamoto. He's off to

511
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 2: a fantastic start. He's somebody we all wanted. I thought

512
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 2: this was gonna happen. I thought this was a sure thing,

513
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: but it turns out that he always wanted to be

514
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 2: in LA. Five and three with a one point eight

515
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: six ERA and ten start, sixty eight strikeouts and fifty

516
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: eight innings, just a phenomenal year. Let's take a look

517
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: at the Dodgers, what they're doing there. The Yankees actually

518
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: have a better record than the Dodgers right now, which

519
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 2: is hard to believe. Show Hayes off to a good

520
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 2: start two and a half four, but about a game

521
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: and a half worse than than Aaron Judge right now.

522
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: It Judge is over four right now. Freddy Freeman having

523
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: a good year, hitting three fifty seven. He's somebody that

524
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: the Yankees looked at when he was a free agent.

525
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: Didn't end up picking him up, you know. I mean,

526
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: we got go Schmidt, but Freddie Freeman not hitting that

527
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: walk off home run against US last year would have

528
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 2: been would have been nice? Uh ta. Oscar Hernandez was

529
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,239
Speaker 2: somebody that Yankees fans looked at this year, ended up

530
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: going back to the Dodgers. He's having a good year

531
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 2: three zero seven with ten home runs. You know, take

532
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: a look at Roki Sazaki. He has one win, eight starts,

533
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: thirty four innings, twenty four strikeouts. I mean, he's young,

534
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: he's only twenty three years old, but so far not

535
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: exactly living up to the hype. Bryce Harper is somebody

536
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 2: that I know I wanted personally on the Yankees and

537
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: hitting two sixty seven with eight home runs. But I

538
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: believe he's won at least one MVP with the Phillies. Yeah,

539
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: he won one with the Phillies in twenty twenty one.

540
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 2: He was a free agent after the twenty eighteen season,

541
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 2: so since then, you look at thirty five home runs

542
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: in nineteen thirty five, again in twenty one, thirty last year,

543
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 2: he's been really solid career. Two eighty one hitter. I

544
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: think he would have been perfect for the Yankees, but

545
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, things happen. You know, if Ryan

546
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 2: Cashman didn't want him, what are you gonna do? All right, guys,

547
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: we'll see you after the game. You know it's gonna

548
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: be a long night when it's the game doesn't start

549
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,040
