1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,520
Speaker 1: Right now.

2
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 2: It's frustrating because they're just not putting up runs. And

3
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: when you see a team that has, you know, three

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars payroll that's scoring one run night after night,

5
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: it's just incredibly infuriating.

6
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: As a fan.

7
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 3: In the Weeds is powered up by Arena Club.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 4: We're doing our top five starting pitchers in the game

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 4: right now. I had stripped fresh off the field, and

10
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 4: now I have to pick favorites. Where your top five

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 4: starters in the sport And yeah, it's probably, you know,

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: not difficult to put together the tippy top, but you're

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 4: definitely going to have to make some tough.

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: Decisions later on. So had you put your list together?

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, my four first four were pretty easy to put together.

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 5: I did in order scooball schemes, Wheeler and Web and

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 5: I imagine we're going to have some overlap there. AJ

18
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 5: And then my fifth spot. I went back and forth

19
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 5: a lot and really found myself between the three lefties

20
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 5: that I like with your Crochet, Max Freed, and Framber Valdez,

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 5: and I ended up going Framber for just just steady

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 5: Eddie Man. He's been like top ten Cy Young last

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 5: five six years. Uh, he's got a better playoff pedigree

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 5: than Max, and then just more inning's under his belt

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 5: than Crochet. I imagine by the end of the year

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 5: there's probably world Crochet is on this list, and I

27
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: wanted to put de Gram on there. He's he's making

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: his way back into the end of this too. But

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 5: I just I live in Houston. I see what Framber

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 5: does every fifth day, and he's done it for five

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 5: six years now. I think I had to put him

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 5: in there in the fifth spot.

33
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: Heye, Andy thoughts, why don't you lay your list out

34
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: first and then we can see first.

35
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 6: I can't complain about any of that, but I'm going

36
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 6: I went schoobol skiings one two. It's hard to argue

37
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 6: that those two guys aren't the best in each league.

38
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: Uh school, Why did you put scoobl first? Because he's

39
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 6: left handed and because he's left handed and he talks trash,

40
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 6: That's why I love it. That was the same, And

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 6: I went three Hunter Brown because I just like where

42
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 6: he's at right now. And by the way he drilled

43
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 6: Netto and then Netto said something and under Brown went

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 6: after him. Hunter Brown ain't backing down, So I like that.

45
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 6: I love that about any pitcher, And I went Zach

46
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 6: Wheeler four and I went Logan Web five. I would

47
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 6: have thrown Chris Sale in there, but he's hurt right now,

48
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 6: and this is right now. Also, you could throw Crochet

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 6: in there, you could throw a bunch of guys in there.

50
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 6: But for me, Logan Webb, he takes the ball every

51
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 6: fifth day and he freaking dominates man. Every time he

52
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 6: picked takes the ball, he just dominates. So those are

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 6: my top five argument if you want. I know, people

54
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 6: are gonna say Hunter Brown's probably a little too high.

55
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 6: Look at his numbers, man, look at what he's done.

56
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 6: That sinker he's found has been good.

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 5: How many times I sat in the dugout in twenty

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 5: twenty three on the Giants and would look up after

59
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 5: six innings and Logan Web would be at like sixty

60
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: four pitches and I'd be like, what is going on here?

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 5: I mean it's almost like let the first guy get

62
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 5: on and let the next guy hit a first pitch

63
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: double play. I mean, I just he does that three

64
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: times a game, you know, And you can't print a

65
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: pitcher better for that stadium. And yeah, he's he's a

66
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 5: bulldog man. Logan web deserves to be on this list,

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 5: no doubt.

68
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: You've seen him pitch a lot.

69
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 4: I mean kind of give us the evaluation of his

70
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: stuff and why it stands out, and it's different. And

71
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: he's really so different from almost anybody else on your lists.

72
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 4: I guess you can make a little bit of a

73
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: framber cop he'll he'll rock up ground balls too.

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well that's you know, the other guys are

75
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 5: power right, And even though Webby is starting to mix

76
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 5: in some like ninety four ninety five's up in the zone,

77
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 5: which is just unfair. He just crushes you with this

78
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 5: stuff down in the zone. And what makes him different

79
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: is actually you talked to hitters about why why you

80
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: just pound Logan Web into the ground or even get

81
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: swing and miss, And it sounds like what they say

82
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: is specifically on the change up, but even on the

83
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: sinker a little bit. As you see it out of

84
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 5: the hand, you read it, Oh, that's a change up.

85
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 5: But it moves three different ways. One goes down, one

86
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 5: runs into you, one might even cut a little bit.

87
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 5: And you're like, oh, I see change up. I'm moving

88
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 5: my barrel to it, and it moves one of the

89
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 5: three ways, and you don't know which one, and all

90
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 5: of a sudden, you hit a nineteen hopper to the

91
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: shortstop in your back, in your dugout. So I just

92
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 5: think it's It's not only is he deceptive and has

93
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: extreme movement profiles. His movement profiles are erratic in a

94
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 5: way that hitters can't plan for or their eyes don't

95
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 5: even know how to tell them what it's doing. So

96
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: I think you know that just makes them so frustrating.

97
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: Hey, strip, So we did a thing earlier in the year.

98
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 6: We had to pick our three players we'd want to

99
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 6: choose to start a team with, and he was one

100
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 6: of my picks. And Krats and Scott blew me up.

101
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 6: So thank you for having my back on this one,

102
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 6: they blew me up about. I'm like Logan Web. Yes,

103
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 6: cal Rawly was one on one. I forget my other

104
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: one maybe Bobby Witt, and then my one pitcher I

105
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 6: picked because I got confused by what it was supposed

106
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 6: to be. But I picked Logan Web because again, I

107
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 6: like guys to take the ball. Every fifth day, they

108
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 6: get quick out, they go deep into games every time.

109
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 6: He's perfectly made for his ball.

110
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 5: Bark yep spot on Man two hundred innings every year.

111
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: Just go ahead and pencil that in. He might even

112
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 5: lead the NL and innings every year for the foreseeable future.

113
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's just and there's too many nights where

114
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 5: it's just easy. Last year I pitched against him and

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: I was actually doing really well and he threw like

116
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: a two hit, complete game shutout and didn't even give

117
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 5: me a chance. So's it's just there's nights where he

118
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: takes the ball on that stadium and the game's over

119
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 5: before it even starts.

120
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: Wow.

121
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: We got one fan with reaction to this, Adrian said,

122
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 4: where's Andrew Abbott? I mean, I can make the same

123
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 4: case for Chris Bubich who's having a sick year, but

124
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 4: that's like a little too current, and you want to

125
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: see a little more of a track record, right aj

126
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: Even Rono Brown, who was really bad the first couple

127
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: months of the season last year, now consistently you go

128
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 4: for at least what June so almost the rest or

129
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: all but two months of last season, and then halfway

130
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 4: through this season and he's got a top three ERA.

131
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: He looks like a one. So what's the delineation?

132
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: I guess.

133
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 6: Plus I wanted to throw some young blood in there. Yes,

134
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 6: andrewrabbits having a nice year, but he's got such a

135
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 6: history of being injured, and it's just I don't know,

136
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 6: I got to see more, like you said, And yes

137
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 6: he's having a great year. There's a lot of guys

138
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 6: that are having a great year. But this time next

139
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 6: year you do this list, guess who might be on

140
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 6: it Andrew Rabbit. But for me, this is the guys

141
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 6: that I like right now. And like I said, I

142
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 6: like guys to talk a little trash. So Hunter Brown

143
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 6: drills guy goes after him right, Logan Webb, he'll strike

144
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 6: you out of talk a little bit. I mean, Chrissale,

145
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 6: those guys, I mean, Scoopball talks trash. These are the

146
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 6: guys I like. Sorry, you know we all have our opinion.

147
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm with you.

148
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: I love how I love how he's on both of

149
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: our lists. AJ, sorry, real quick, I love always on

150
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: both of our lists, Zach Wheeler. And we don't even

151
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: we don't even talk about him. That's how like underappreciated.

152
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 5: He is man talking about what he's done the last

153
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 5: couple of years and just doing it here again, it's

154
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 5: he's on the both of our list. Top five and

155
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 5: we're barely even speaking about him.

156
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 4: He's the best for the longest period of time at

157
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: this point. You know, you look at the last like

158
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: five years. Yeah, look at the playoffs.

159
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 6: Look at his playoff numbers. Are you kidding me this, dude?

160
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 5: You know the Mets that came up with, you know,

161
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 5: Harvey and Cindergard and de Grom and Wheeler and Mattz.

162
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: I think that was the five. There might even be

163
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 5: a six in there, and I think we're probably gonna

164
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: look back and say that Wheeler was the best and

165
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 5: had the best career.

166
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 3: You know.

167
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 5: De Grom has the cy youngs but is now you know,

168
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: mixed and some injuries ages. But Wheeler just like slow

169
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: and steady in here man of those Mets starting pitchers.

170
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 5: It's it's it's unbelievable.

171
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 4: Wheeler's retiring two seasons from now. If he does what

172
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 4: he's doing right now for two more seasons, he's probably

173
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer. I know, you know, he started

174
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 4: a little bit late with his stardom, but he's getting close.

175
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna be a top five so young

176
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 4: guy year after year. All right, all right, we'll bring

177
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 4: that debate.

178
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 6: I don't know, we'll have talking about it, but let's yeah,

179
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 6: we'll talk about that Hall of Famers. Yeah, we'll talk

180
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: about it.

181
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, Hey, use code foul to get twenty percent

182

Speaker 3: open a slab pack for you silver.

186
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: So these are usually the cheapest ones. Just get yourself

187
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 4: a little pack. You don't have to deal with all

188
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: the common cards and all the crap. I got myself.

189
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: Jared Jones, how you doing? There we go?

190
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: Who is going to be missing a little bit of time?

191
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: I guess at this point probably AJ back in twenty

192
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 4: twenty seven or at the end into twenty six.

193
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 6: Sucks. It sucks.

194
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I.

195
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: Would hold onto this card at the end of that.

196
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: It's not fancy.

197
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 4: I was offered I think it was like twenty two

198
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: or twenty seven whatever it was Bucks, and I was like, Nah,

199
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hold onto that one for a while. So anyway,

200
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: you can do this on Arena Club. They'll send you

201
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,400

Speaker 4: over to you. But if you don't want it. You

203
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 4: can sell it back and then try to get more cards,

204
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 4: but you don't have to deal with all of the

205
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: physical card dealing over and over again and shipping stuff

206

229
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 4: every single Yanks game and their shows before that as well.

230
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: It takes your voicemails the whole deal. We'll talk more

231
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: about it, Derek. Good to see you, dude, and obviously

232
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 4: we're bringing you in for a little therapy session. So

233
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 4: first off, your general take on where the Yankees are

234
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: at right now? But since we're a national show, really global,

235
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: where's the Ale East at right now?

236
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: Well, the Yankees are stumbling, obviously, the Aliast is tightening,

237
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 2: saw the Red Sox back to about five hundred.

238
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: The Rays right on our.

239
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: Heels Orioles, don't have to worry about them. We got

240
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays coming up, so that'll be an interesting series.

241
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: The Yankees play in Toronto beginning next Monday, so that'll

242
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: be an interesting series. They have not played well against

243
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: the American League East in general, and over their last

244
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: eleven games, they've played really bad. We had some guys

245
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: that looked like they were heating up a couple of

246
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: weeks ago when we played the Royals. You know, Austin

247
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: Wells looked like he was getting ready to go on

248
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: his you know, summer hit barrage.

249
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: But he was hot for.

250
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: About as long as my coffee this morning, about five minutes.

251
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: And he's cooled off.

252
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: We've got a lot of bats cooling off, and it's

253
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: it's it's been a rough week and the fans are

254
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: feeling the Yanks.

255
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 6: Derek, I just want to know this. It's such a

256
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 6: typical Yankee fan like you are to mention the Red

257
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 6: Sox first and not even bring up the Rays or

258
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 6: the Jays. The razor game back and the Yankees suck

259
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 6: in extra innings, so god forbid if they go into

260
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 6: extra innings because they are terrible in extra innings. But

261
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 6: typical Yankees fan, Oh, the Red Sox, they're not doing anything.

262
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 6: But the Rays and Jays are bringing it, and especially

263
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 6: the Rays. The Rays are the hottest team going. Are

264
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 6: you worried?

265
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard not to be worried.

266
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: We've seen a five and a half game lead shrank

267
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: to one game over the past you know, a week

268
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: or so. We've seen them flush leads in June and July.

269
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: In recent years, the Rays winning the division and playing

270
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,599
Speaker 2: in our minor league park would really really upset a

271
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: lot of people for some reason. I think, look, the

272
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Yankees have just got to play better. If they can

273
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: just play better, I think they can hold off these teams.

274
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: But you've got some guys that have really cooled off.

275
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt over his last thirty games is hitting two

276
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: toh four. Anthony Volpi over his last ten games is

277
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: hitting one to eighteen. Judge over his last ten games,

278
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: hitting two twenty two with just two home runs and

279
00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: two RBIs Domingez hitting one seventy six against this year,

280
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: Austin Wells over the last ten games, hitting one fifty two.

281
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: You can't have all of your big bats cold. At

282
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: the same time, we were hoping that when Stanton came back,

283
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: you know, maybe he would be hot. He's hit some singles,

284
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of doubles, but he hasn't started

285
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: leaving the ballpark yet. Ben Rice looks like he's coming.

286
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Out of it. He hit home runs.

287
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: He had a home run this weekend, and then he

288
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 2: hit one yesterday that almost left the Great American Ballpark.

289
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: So there's some promising signs, but you just gotta you

290
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: just got to put it all together for a little while.

291
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: The pitching has been really good, so that's that's one

292
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: good sign. Rodin again last night was terrific. We got

293
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: Max Freed going today. He's been terrific all year. But

294
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: you got to support these guys with some runs.

295
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: Derek, what's up man. Nice to meet you, Bud. You know,

296
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 5: you just kind of touched on it. Yankees have you know,

297
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 5: struggled in some summers in the past seasons, and here

298
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 5: we're go into a July where it's like only playoff

299
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 5: teams coming up on the schedule, you know, and you

300
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: think about the Yankees when I was playing them, and

301
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: they would they just kind of like muscle their way

302
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 5: through stretches like this. I feel like, because you know,

303
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 5: the roster and the team kind of is what it is.

304
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 5: And I just wonder, you know, as you head into

305
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 5: a stretch like this and into the All Star break,

306
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: like what are some what are some of the things

307
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 5: they can do within the cracks or going into this

308
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 5: kind of stretch to write the ship a little bit well.

309
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: As Aj mentioned, and it's nice to meet you too. Ross.

310
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: They're really bad in extra innings, and I think that

311
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: goes to the approach in general of being a slugging team.

312
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 2: They don't move runners over. A lot of times you

313
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 2: start with the Manfred runner and extra innings and you

314
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: don't move them over. And I think just the little

315
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: things like that add up. You know, there's been some

316
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: bullpen meltdowns. It seems like, you know, we used to

317
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: have this thing where every night a different hero would

318
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: step up, right, Well, it seems like every night a

319
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: different guy in the bullpen has a tough night. And

320
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: you know, guys like Lowisaga who you know, have been injured,

321
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: but you know coming back, he's he's gonna have to

322
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: step up. We got Luke Weaver back in there now,

323
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: so maybe he can get hot again. He was not

324
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: exactly inspiring in his first outing, but he pitched a

325
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: little bit better last night. I just think you got

326
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: to get better in the margins. And and again, Aaron

327
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: Judge needs to get hot. When this team is hot,

328
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: it's because Aaron Judge is hitting. You know, he's slipped

329
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks. And you know, when

330
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: you the best hitter in baseball goes down for a while,

331
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: other guys have to step up, and they have not.

332
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: They have not.

333
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 6: Derek, I want to ask you. You mentioned a lot

334
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 6: of these guys and Austin Wells seven o eight ops

335
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 6: Vulpi seven twenty nine, Bellinger seven sixty seven, they're they're

336
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 6: okay OPS wise, But what are Yankee fans feeling about

337
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 6: these guys, because, like you mentioned, it's it's a lot

338
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 6: of their opia. I mean, because then you go batting

339
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 6: average Austin Wells two sixteen, Volpi two thirty three, So

340
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 6: a lot of their OPS is hitting for home runs?

341
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 6: Are they an only home run hitting team? Is there

342
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 6: a way to improve what they're doing? And are Yankee

343
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 6: fans satisfied with what the lineup is doing? Well?

344
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: This is what we've been saying for the last decade

345
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: or more. This this Yankees approach, right, it's it's fruit

346
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: from the poisonous tree.

347
00:14:59,760 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: Right.

348
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: The things they teach in this organization is to just

349
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: hunt fastballs and hit long balls right, draw walks, hit

350
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 2: home runs. But you've got to play baseball too. There's

351
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: one guy who I think plays decent baseball that you mentioned,

352
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: and that is Cody Bellinger.

353
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: I feel like his OPS.

354
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: Is better than you would you know, then it looks

355
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: because a lot of it is like doubles and stuff

356
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: like you know, Volpi's ops is held up by hitting

357
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: nine home runs in the first you know, a couple

358
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: of first couple of months, and Jazz Chishom's ops is

359
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: held up by hitting home runs early on.

360
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: They don't.

361
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: They don't get a lot of hits, right, They just

362
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 2: they don't hit with the runners in scoring position. They

363
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 2: don't hit a lot of doubles. I don't have the

364
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: stats in front of me. I mean, maybe they've compiled numbers,

365
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: but it seems like they go long stretches without productive

366
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: at bats. I think it was John Boy pointed out

367
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: they have more big innings than almost any team, but

368
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 2: then they have a lot of innings where they don't

369
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: score because they're you know, to quote one of the guys,

370
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: I think it was uh Oh, I can't remember his name,

371
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: the guy from the baseball documentary Ken Burns documentary said

372
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: the strategy is to put two guys on and then

373
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: have god Zilla hit one into Tokyo Bay. That seems

374
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 2: to be the Yankees approach for the better part of

375
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: a decade. Right now, it's failed in the playoffs, it

376
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: always fails at some point for a long stretch during

377
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: the summer, and their hope is that they can just

378
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 2: get to the playoffs and one or two guys get

379
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: hot like Stanton last year, and you slug your way

380
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: to the World Series and maybe you, you know, build

381
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: a really good pitching staff that can stay healthier than

382
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 2: a lot of other teams can afford to keep a staff.

383
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: So that seems to be the approach right now. It's

384
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 2: frustrating because they're just not putting up runs. And when

385
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: you see a team that has, you know, three hundred

386
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 2: million dollars pay roll that's scoring one run night after night,

387
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: it's just incredibly infuriating as a fan.

388
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 4: Well, if you're a normal human, you can't speak English

389
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 4: to your pup. But what you can do to understand

390
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 4: what they love, which is Spontan tango on kibble, is

391
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: to see how they react when you put the unkibble

392
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: in the bowl.

393
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: And my pup, pinal Lope, loves it. So does Bella.

394
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 7: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybien, I love

395
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 7: this stuff.

396
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: She says, wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan

397
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 4: based on my age weight, breed an activity level.

398
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: You nailed it.

399
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: And also it's made with one hundred percent a whole

400
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 4: fresh ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies, but

401
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: it's forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So upgrade

402
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 4: your pets bowl with spotan Tango unkibble and for a

403
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 4: limited time, go to spotantango dot com slash foul and

404
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: use code foul for fifty percent off your first order.

405
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: That's spotantango dot com slash foul, code foul to get

406
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: fifty percent off your first order.

407
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 6: Derek, where are the fans at? On Jazz Chisholm? Last night?

408
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 6: He gets ejected in an next r inning game two

409
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 6: oh pitch borderline. He won't let it go. And what

410
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,959
Speaker 6: was interesting to me is if you watch the broadcast,

411
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 6: he was kind of yelling in Boon and Brad Oustmas

412
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 6: and the rest of the team wasn't really like I

413
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 6: don't want to say no, they weren't standing up for him,

414
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: but they weren't telling him to quiet down either, right,

415
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 6: They were just kind of letting him have And then

416
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 6: he gets ejected. It leads to a scar having to

417
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 6: play third base. Not that it ended up hurting him,

418
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 6: but you know what I'm saying like, where are the

419
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 6: Yankee fings out with just Chisseholm?

420
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: It could have.

421
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's it's great that you bring

422
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 2: this up because we had some calls about this last

423
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: night on the show. A lot of people felt like

424
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 2: it was an incredibly immature thing to just let it

425
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: drag on. Yeah, calls get blown, right, I mean we

426
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: how many calls get overturned every single day and how

427
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 2: many aulmps missed calls in big spots. It's part of

428
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: the game, right, I mean, sometimes you're gonna have calls

429
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: that don't go your way, especially in a tight game.

430
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: You've got to just put that in your pocket, set

431
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: aside and get to work. And you know, we hear

432
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: a lot about how you know New York fans, are

433
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: you know, knowledgeable about baseball and things like that, and

434
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: this is one of the spots where it shows up

435
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: for me because I feel like instead of calling in

436
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 2: and being pissed at the ump for blowing the call,

437
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: people were calling in they were pissed at Jazz for

438
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: putting the team in a difficult spot. Now, like you said,

439
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: thankfully it didn't end up hurting the team, But I mean,

440
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: who knows what could have happened. I mean, the game

441
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: could play out any number of different ways if you don't,

442
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: you know, in any number of scenarios, if he doesn't

443
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: get it ejected. So you know, it's it's it was,

444
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: in my opinion, a bad case of judgment to let

445
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: it keep going. And you mentioned Boone and the coaches

446
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: not standing up for Jazz but also not quieting him down.

447
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: I think you gotta step in right there when you see, Hey,

448
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: this is a tight game. Jazz is really ticked off.

449
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 2: Let's settle him down. Let let's let's say, hey, go

450
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: to your happy place for a second, right and then

451
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: to borrow a happy Gilmore parlance, go to your happy place,

452
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: settle it down, and go get him be pissed after

453
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: the game. Maybe you know, maybe you can, you know,

454
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: say something to the reporters after the game. Let let

455
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: them know you're unhappy. But right now is not the time.

456
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Derek Kay. Last question here, probably no

457
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 5: one more excited to see out of the division Rafael

458
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 5: Devers than Garrett Cole. I don't know if he was

459
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 5: public enemy number one for the for the Yankees fans,

460
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: but certainly for Garrett Cole. But now that Devers is

461
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 5: out of the division. Who are Yankees fans claiming public

462
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: Enemy number one got their sights on.

463
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Jackson Holliday looks like he's coming around.

464
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 2: He's going to be a problem for years and years.

465
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 2: You know, Cam and Arrow could be a real.

466
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Problem for a while.

467
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony. I saw his five hundred foot home run

468
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. I watched his first major league

469
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: home run. I haven't seen a lot of him other

470
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: than that, but he's going to be good. I don't

471
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: think we've identified public Enemy number one right now. It

472
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: might honestly be Aaron Boom. It might be you know,

473
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: whether he's deserve it or not. I feel like that's

474
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: that's the way the papers are going. But I think

475
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: that's to be determined. But it is nice to see

476
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 2: Raffi out on the West coast, and I hope he

477
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 2: has a really nice, long career very far away from that.

478
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: There you go, nice straight bye, boss. Yeah, I would say, yeah,

479
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 4: well you mentioned Boonie. Is Vulpi the guy you're hearing

480
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: the most complains on him?

481
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, fans are tough on him right now, and look,

482
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: he's twenty four years old. So I try not to

483
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: be too tough on him. I mean, he's still growing

484
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 2: as a player. It's very difficult Alex to stop. Sorry,

485
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 2: I was setting my alarm to come on later. You

486
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 2: guys got me to come on a little bit earlier.

487
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like he's got room to improve,

488
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: and I don't think he's done improving. As Boone always says,

489
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: improvement is not linear for young players. You'll see him

490
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: go through spurts where he looks really good, it makes

491
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: an adjustment, and then things kind of settle back in

492
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: and he goes through a long stretch. I wish he

493
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 2: wasn't quite so streaky. I feel like he's struggled more

494
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: defensively this year than we've seen him struggle, especially in

495
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 2: big spots. That's been a concern, and you're starting to

496
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: hear more whispers about, oh, maybe we should trade Volpe,

497
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: maybe we should get another shortstop, and I just keep saying,

498
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: who's out there that's better. I mean, there's nobody available

499
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 2: that's that's better or cheaper than Volty Right now. You

500
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: got Lombard coming up, but he's sitting two twenty in

501
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: double A, so he's no threat to Volty, right now,

502
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: so I think you just.

503
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: Stick with him.

504
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 2: I think that the strategy for fans should be to

505
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: cheer him on, get a little bit of our our

506
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: trade turner vibes, give the kid a nice ovation, really

507
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 2: get behind him, show him some of that love that

508
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: we showed him when he first came up, and maybe

509
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: he'll get back to being that player that we saw

510
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: in the first part of last year when he got

511
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: on base for thirty four straight games and was doing

512
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: such a great job in front of so Doo and

513
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 2: Judge to set the table.

514
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: But since then he's kind of been up and down.

515
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 4: I agree, I'm with you. I mean, he's definitely, you know,

516
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 4: at least average, if not above average.

517
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: He's not a superstar.

518
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 4: And I think some Yanks fans were looking at him,

519
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, as their top prospect, thinking this guy is

520
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 4: going to be a superstar, superstar.

521
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: Sinatra doesn't say he wants to be middle of the

522
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: heap or you know, you know, middle of the pack, right,

523
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 2: it's we want to be number one, top of the list, right,

524
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 2: That's what we're trained to expect.

525
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 3: This fans expectations are high, and that's fair.

526
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 4: And also, by the way, Max freed as a two

527
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 4: o five rais not too shabby too, So I want

528
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: to make it like the world is ending for Yanks fans.

529
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 3: But much more of this.

530
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 4: Obviously, every single night with Derek postgame and then you

531
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 4: can catch him at least a few times a week

532
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: before games as well. Takes voicemails, the whole deal. Derek,

533
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 4: good to see you man.

534
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: Good to see you guys too. Take care
