1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: All right, that's it the feel you, oh row wanted 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: to talk. It was game nineteen of one hundred and 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: sixty two and the Yankees were trying to avoid a 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: sweep at the hands of the division rival Toronto Blue Jays, 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,799 Speaker 1: Marcus Stroman towing the slab against his former team. My recap, 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: your reactions coming up next. This is in Why Why Recaps. 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: Welcome dude. 8 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Away, call me back. All right, all right, indeed, welcome 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: back everybody. How's it going. If you had to work 10 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: this afternoon and you missed the game, I hope you 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: at least caught the end of it because it was 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: a dramatic win for the Yankees. They avoid the sweep. 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: They trailed for most of the game. They were three 14 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: outs away from getting swept, but they refused to pack 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: it in late comeback. Dramatic home run from John Carlos Stanton, 16 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: big pinch hit single from Jose Travino, go ahead single 17 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: from the captain Aaron Judge, who had one hit in 18 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: the series, but it was a big one. We'll put 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: up the highlights now. I think that's the difference between 20 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: this year's team and last year's team. Last year's team 21 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: would have went quietly in the ninth inning. One thousand 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: percent they would have had a couple of strikeouts and 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: a pop up, or they would have put two guys 24 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: on and then banged into a double play and then 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: had a week's you know week swing strikeout to end 26 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: the game or something like that. But this year they 27 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: definitely have that dog in them, and the plane ride 28 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: home just became a lot shorter and a lot less stressful, 29 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: and the off day tomorrow, quite frankly, is going to 30 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: be a lot less stressful. They fell behind early, more 31 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: defensive missus Rizzo had a tough play at first base. 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: Another brutal start for Glabor Torres, three strikeouts before he 33 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: picked up a big hit in the ninth. Another day 34 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: of waiting for Aaron Judge to turn it around until 35 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: he finally did. Judge. I think is gonna enjoy Tomorrow's 36 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: off day as much as anyone. Soak in the positive result, 37 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: think happy thoughts, and come to the ballpark Friday ready 38 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: to mash feeling good. Yankees once again did nothing against 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. Starting pitching, Bassett, Kakuchi and Gossman absolutely 40 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: shoved in this series, and you can see why the 41 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: Blue Jays feel like they have such a great playoff 42 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: rotation if they can get there, They've got some good pitching. 43 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: Their Juan Soto heating back up. He was on base 44 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: all five times today. Hit a big home run for Dugo, 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: hit another double. He's already got six doubles. Stanton went 46 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: into the second deck. He continues to mash. He's got 47 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: five home runs as Waldo Cabrera had a multi hit game. 48 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: Second consecutive tough day to play for Anthony Volpi. He's 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: in a little bit of a manaster slump. Big hit 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: from Travigno and biggest hit of the day drive single 51 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: down the left field line for Aaron Judge, who put 52 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the Yankees out in front in a game they trailed 53 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: four to one and they ended up coming back to 54 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: win six to four. So outstanding comeback performance for the Yankees. 55 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Off day tomorrow, they will return home with a record 56 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,639 Speaker 1: of thirteen and six. You know, you would have liked 57 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: to have swept uh the road trip, but this is baseball, 58 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: and you're gonna lose sometimes, and I think that, you know, 59 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: taking two out of three from Cleveland and then one 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: out of three from Toronto, a nice three and three 61 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: road trip. Not the end of the world. So let's 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: go through the blow by blow. Let's go, let's get 63 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: it going. Jake El says, twenty twenty three Yankees were 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: twelve and seven, twenty twenty four, Yankees are thirteen and 65 00:03:48,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: six better already, boblo Judge comes up, clutch, I'll ride. 66 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: So the Yanks actually threatened against Gossman in the first inning. 67 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: They loaded the basis for Glaber Torres, but he struck 68 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: out on a pretty much non competitive at bat. He 69 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: had three strikeouts in a row to begin his day. 70 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: He also kind of wiffed on a play. We'll talk 71 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: about that. Bottom two, the Blue Jays got to Marcus 72 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: stroman two run home run from Dalton Varshow. He had 73 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: two home runs in the game. Rizzo also booted kind 74 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 1: of a slow chopper. I mean, it looked like it 75 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: had some spin on it, so it might not have 76 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: been as easy as it looked on TV. But it 77 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: looked playable, and you know, I thought maybe he could 78 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: have knocked it down. But he's been having some issues 79 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: over there at first base. Top five Yankees got a 80 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: leadoff double from Oswaldo Cabrera, terrific at bat. He had 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: another multi hit game. He just looks like he's in 82 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: a much more hitterish place this year. He looks a 83 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: lot like the Oswaldo from a couple of years ago. 84 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Last year he was an automatic out. Essentially, he threw 85 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: him high fastball, he swung right through it. They mentioned 86 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: on the broadcast that he's not automatically swinging through that 87 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: pitch as much now. He's still chasing it, but he'll 88 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: foul it off and sometimes he'll get on top of it. 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: He's laying off of it sometimes. But he had hits 90 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: from both sides of the plate. Today, continues to look good. 91 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Yankees got on the board with an RBI double from 92 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Juan Soto, absolutely smoked one off the center field while 93 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: that cut the lead to two to one. Blue Jays. 94 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: Bottom of the fifth, there was a ground ball of 95 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Glabor's left couldn't knock it down. It was hit hard. 96 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: I thought it looked like a makeable play. It's the 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: kind of play they teach you as a second baseman. 98 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: Knock it down, get in front of it, use your body, 99 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: knock it down and throw the runner out. Luckily, Kevin 100 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: Kiermeier tried to take second base and Jan Soto threw 101 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: him out. Soto's arm has been impressive this year. I 102 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: had no idea his arm is as good as it is. 103 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: But Stroman was, you know, solid today. He was done 104 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: after getting one out in the sixth inning. You know, 105 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: I thought, once again, just the one mistake to Dalton 106 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: var Show, but a very solid outing pitch to contact. 107 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: He went five and a third inning, six hits, allowed 108 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: two earned runs, two walks, two strikeouts, and not a 109 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: ton of swing and miss stuff. But he was keeping 110 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: the ball on the ground. Looking at his season numbers, overall, 111 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: he's off to a very good start. He's got a 112 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: two point four to two ERA. He's got the whip 113 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: at one point one six nine walks, nineteen strikeouts, twenty 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: two and a third innings. He's not pitching super deep 115 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: into the game, but he's getting further than Rodon, he's 116 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: getting further than Schmidt usually Nester. So overall, I think 117 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: you have to say, so far, he's a pretty solid pickup, 118 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: and I'm happy with what we're seeing from Marcus Stroman. 119 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: Dalton Varshow hit another home run in the seventh, this 120 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: time it was off of Caleb Ferguson, who has shown 121 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: me nothing absolutely nothing this season. He's supposed to be 122 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: the replacement for Wandy Peralta, but so far he looks 123 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: like a stiff to me. Soto went deep in the 124 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: top of the eighth fourth home run of the season 125 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: for him solo shot to cut the deficit to four 126 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: to two. Let's take a look at it. 127 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: As a teton. Let's start long, so it's one long gone, 128 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: nice piece of hitting for number deuce deuce, five hundredth 129 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: career RBI and at twenty five years old, he's the 130 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: seventh youngest player ever to get to five hundred RBIs. 131 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's solid. Let's take a look 132 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: at his stats so far this season. He's doing great. 133 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: Three fifty two average, four home run seventeen RBIs hes 134 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: got an on base percentage of four to seventy two. 135 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: That's absurd. Four home runs in his first seventy one 136 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: at bats seventeen RBIs. That's the most on the Yankees. 137 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: He scored twelve runs and playing great defense. He's amazing. 138 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: So in a year that has started off pretty good, 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: won Soto has been a consistent presence. You even see 140 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: him buttoning for a hit right there, so you know, 141 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: loving what we're seeing so far from Juan Soto top nine, 142 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: John Carlos Stanton with an absolutely titanic home run. Let's 143 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: see that in an instant replay U n Stantoni. John 144 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton hicks him out, monster shot four hundred and 145 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: thirty seven feet fifth home run that leads the team. 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Labor Torres singled, Verdugo ripped an RBI double, and then 147 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Trevino hit a pinch hit single to tie up the game. 148 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: Yankees loaded the bases for Aaron Judge, who had no 149 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: hits in the series coming into the game. Uh, and 150 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: then throughout the game he was zero for three at 151 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: that point, maybe over four let's say, hang on, yeah, 152 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: he was oh for four coming into that point, so 153 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: really tough game. And then he ripped a two run 154 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: single down the line to put the Yankees out front 155 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: six to four, and they did not relinquish the lead. 156 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: Have to mention the outstanding play by Anthony Volpie to 157 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: end the game now, because it happened right at the 158 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: end of the game, and it takes a few minutes 159 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: for the highlights to come up. I didn't have the 160 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: highlight at the ready. As part of the video reel, 161 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna see if I can pull it up 162 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: right here. Hang on just a second, We're gonna go 163 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: to the full screen and take a look at it. 164 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: Ground ball and look at the stab. I gotta pause 165 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: it for a second just to avoid the copyright. Great throw, beautiful, 166 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: nice job by Anthony Volpe to end things, but the 167 00:09:48,800 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Yankees hang on to win six to four over seven. 168 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: In the chat, what do you guys want for the belt? 169 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: A couple of options here. So we had the obviously 170 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,600 Speaker 1: the huge hit from Aaron Judge, big big day from 171 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: Juan Soto on base five times, John Carlos Stanton with 172 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: a huge home run, Marcus Stroman with a great performance. 173 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: Who's it gonna be fun? So really nice performance. He's 174 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: heating up right as the Yankees are headed home, and 175 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: I think that we can expect a big series from 176 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: Juan Soto. So give me your thoughts on the game. 177 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna take your comments in just a second, but 178 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: first a word from our sponsor.

Will 189 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: Nomura says we would have lost if Travigno didn't get 190 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: that hit. Yeah, I think we got to say huge, 191 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: huge performance from Jose Travigno over the last several days. 192 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: I mean at the home run in Cleveland. He had 193 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: three RBIs yesterday, big, big pinch hit single today, and 194 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: he might be taken back that catching position because Austin 195 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: well is off to a very slow start hitting under 196 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 1: one hundred. So Richard ceesas Stroman looking like Maddox dotting 197 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: those corners. I love his command. I love the way 198 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: he moves the baseball. He gets a ton of sink, 199 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: he keeps the ball on the ground, he doesn't give 200 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: up a lot of home runs, and he doesn't need 201 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: to strike out a ton of guys. He's not really 202 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: a strikeout pitcher. He's a pitch to contact guy. You 203 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: get some quick innings. I like that he works quickly, 204 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: he bitches with confidence. I'm liking what I'm seeing from 205 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: him so far. Jabier Vallez says, we got the raise 206 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: and the A's next Rays always play us tough. I'm 207 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: confident we can beat the A's, But the Rays, it 208 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: seems like, whether it's preseason, whether it's regular season, whether 209 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: it's postseason, they're always up to play us. They're always 210 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: hyped and they want to beat our brains in because 211 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: they got such a low payroll and weird, you know, 212 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: the big bad Yankees, and they want to beat us. 213 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: And you know, they seem to always shift our guys perfectly. 214 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: They pitch our guys perfectly. They're scouting is I think 215 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: probably the best in the league, because to win with 216 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: a payroll that low, you've got to do things better 217 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: than other teams, like scouting and coaching and things like that. 218 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: So they always seem to find these diamond and the 219 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: rough guys out of the bullpen too, just like we do. 220 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: So you know that we're gonna see some heat I 221 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing this year. Let me take 222 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: a look at the standings and see where the Rays 223 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: are at. I think they're you know, they're ten and eight. 224 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the standings here. They 225 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: are ten and eight. That is two and a half 226 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: games back of the Yankees. The Orioles twelve and six, 227 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: they're a half game back. The Rays have allowed more 228 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: runs than they've scored, so their offense not great. They've 229 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,199 Speaker 1: got a negative seventeen run differential. As coming up after that, 230 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: they are eight and eleven. They've scored only fifty six runs, 231 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: so hopefully that's a series worth pitching for. The Yankees 232 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: can get back on track, fully confident of Carlos Rhodon's 233 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: ability to pitch against the Oakland Athletics anyway. But Jake 234 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: Yel says, Wow, I didn't realize that Baseball Theater website existed. Yeah, 235 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. Shout out to Baseball Theater.

I love Baseball Theater 239 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: and there's a Patreon.

So Astros, Yeah, somebody says, Yike's Astro 243 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: six and fourteen. Yikes, Hector Cruizes Ray show up because 244 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: there are more Yankees fans than Rai's fans in Tampa. 245 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 2: You're puny good, I'm funny how I mean's funny like 246 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: I'm a clown. 247 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: I have usual And then Peter Rizberg says, Disastros, Well, 248 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: let's hold back on talking too much smack. It is 249 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: a long season. A three hundred winning percentage is obviously 250 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: not very good, but it's a long season and we 251 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: will have to face them again they come to Yankee Stadium, 252 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: I believe in May, and it would be nice to 253 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: kick their ass a little bit harder. I feel like 254 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: the Yankees showed some real gusto here at the end 255 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: of this game. Let's go back and put up the 256 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: highlights again, because this was a fun one to watch through. 257 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: Early on, I felt like the energy was low. I 258 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: felt like they were, you know, just kind of going 259 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: through the motions. Everybody except Stroman Stroman. I felt like 260 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: he's always got the intensity high. You see the sink 261 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: on the baseball. Gets a nice double play here in 262 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: the first inning to get out of it. This was 263 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: the home run of our show. Just got too much 264 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: of the plate, ninety one miles an hour, right down 265 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: the middle, maybe a little bit on the intern half, 266 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: and he smoked it. He barreled it up. And then 267 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: nice stab here by Oswaldo Cabrera here he makes the 268 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: throw across the diamond. Oswaldo has looked really good on 269 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball this year, and Stroman giving 270 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: him a little little ups there. This was the shot 271 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: by or by Soto that hit the center field wall 272 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: for a double. He thought it was gone, still makes 273 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: it the second nice and easy. But look at that swing, 274 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: nice and smooth, just levels, maybe a slight upper cut 275 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: at the end, exactly like Ted Williams tought. This was 276 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: the shot by Varshow's second home run in the bottom 277 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: of the seventh off of Caleb Ferguson. And then a 278 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: little later on, this is a sack fly. You see 279 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: Soto over in the corner, makes the catch, but the 280 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: runner tagged to score, and then the Yankees comeback begins. 281 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: Soto ninety six down the middle and he acts all 282 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: over it into the bullpen. He knew it, dugout loving it. 283 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: I love this little shimmy dance thing he does here 284 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: as he goes down the canyon of high fives, we'll 285 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: call it. And he knew that one was gone too. 286 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: And then this was the hanging slider maybe hanging splitter 287 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: to John Carlow and he puts it. He just missed 288 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: the scoreboard that is on the front of the third 289 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: deck there absolutely scorched base it from Travigno and then 290 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 1: the RBI two run single from Aaron Judge Champagne Athletics 291 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: with the super chat says, how do you think the 292 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: Yankees will do against Baltimore? Appreciate it. I'm not sure 293 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: you can't predict baseball, Susan, as one of my friends 294 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: once said, But now I think they're going to do 295 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: better against Baltimore this year than they did last year. 296 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: For sure. I feel like the lineup is just much 297 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: more patient. You know, with the addition of Soto and 298 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: Judge is going to heat up by the way. You know, Judge, 299 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: by the time we played Baltimore, you know, could be 300 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: in mid season form. He could be rounding into form 301 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be a big difference. And he usually 302 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: hits Baltimore pretty well, especially in Baltimore. So anyway, I 303 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: think we'll do okay. I think we'll do okay. Nick 304 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: Hartung says Stanton is doing exactly what we need him 305 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, staying healthy, not popping any hamstrings, and 306 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: hitting bombs. Good comment. Danny Jay says, after seeing Judge 307 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: and Vopee struggle this series, it's great to see Judge 308 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: hit the go ahead runs and Vopee close it out 309 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: with the glove. I hardly agree. Great play by voting 310 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: to close it out. Great play, underrated play, so nice 311 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: job and Valet and n why says love a ninth. 312 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: Then he come back and relatively stress free homes Now, 313 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 1: he did put a runner in scoring position, so they 314 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: had they had the tying run coming up to the plate. 315 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: But that's one thing you love about Holmes. He's not 316 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: really that susceptible to the home run because he throws 317 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: that heavy sinker, right. He gets the ground balls, so 318 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: you don't expect him to serve up a lot of 319 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: home runs. That ninety eight mile an hour sinker. Iris 320 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: Paris as a win feels good, feels better after three 321 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: horrible losses in a row, and definitely feels better than 322 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: getting swept on the road before and off day. Junior 323 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: Coroma says Volpi is a superstar in the making. He 324 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: came into this game fourth in war in Major League Baseball, 325 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: just ahead of Juan Soto. I think Won Soto might 326 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: have passed him with what he did today. But what 327 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: we're seeing from Vopi is the emergence of a star. 328 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: We're seeing. What we're seeing from Volpi reminds me of 329 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: what we saw in a different way from Judge in 330 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. You remember when Judge was coming into camp 331 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, all the question was, well, can he 332 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: survive at the major league level, because he hit one 333 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: seventy nine the year before with like four home runs, 334 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: and he struck out a gazillion times, and the thought 335 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: was can he make enough contact. Well, that winter, he 336 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: went in and he worked with the swingman, and he 337 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: fixed his swing, fixed his bat path. He got into 338 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: more of a crouch and he should have won the 339 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: MVP if not for Altuve and the trash Cans. And 340 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: he hit fifty two home runs and he hit two eighty, 341 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 1: he didn't strike out nearly as much. What we've seen 342 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: from Volpi was that first year two poh nine average. 343 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: He struck out a million times and everybody was sick 344 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 1: of it, and he fixed it. He went out this 345 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: offseason and flattened his bat path, and now we're seeing 346 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: him hit much better. Now he's OH for his last 347 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: nine or ten, but before that he was on fire. 348 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: So he's still hitting three twenty five even after the slump. 349 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: I saw a comment just a minute ago that he 350 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: should go back down to the sixth hole or whatever. 351 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: I think he's going to remain in the leadoff spot, 352 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: you know. I just there's so many different ways he 353 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: can beat you up there. I'm not holding this slump 354 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: against him. Everybody has slumps, and he's not gonna hit 355 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: three seventy three eighty for the season. Nobody raises their 356 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: average one hundred and fifty points in one season. So 357 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: you know, if he hits two eighty and steals thirty 358 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: bags and hits fifteen twenty home runs and plays great defense, hell, 359 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: you'll take that every day of the week. But I 360 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: think he might even do better than that. I think 361 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 1: he might be a two ninety hitter now, I really do. 362 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: And I think his on base percentage is gonna be 363 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: three fifty because of how much he walks. And I 364 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: think he's gonna steal probably thirty five bags this year 365 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: because he's running more confidently and he's learned more about 366 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the league, and he's you know, learned more about the 367 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: pitchers and their pickoff moves and the catcher's arms. You know, 368 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: last year was first time seeing the league. Now he's 369 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: more comfortable, and I think we're seeing I think I 370 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 1: think we're seeing the beginning of a superstar. And he 371 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: you know, he's slumping a little bit. I don't know 372 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: one for fifteen twenty something like that, but he's coming around. 373 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: Slump's happen. Get used to it. It's a long baseball season. 374 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: Wayne Jay says, it's great to see that the late 375 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: hitting or late inning hitting is contagious. You a smart mother, 376 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: that's right. Richard c says, Vope, he's gonna score a 377 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: lot of runs. That is absolutely true. He gets on 378 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: base of a thirty six percent clip Soto at forty 379 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 1: and then Judge and now that we know that Stanton 380 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: is hitting and is you know, back to hitting bombs. 381 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, despite the recent slide, I feel 382 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: like this team is gonna be amazing. I would not 383 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: be shocked if they have an outstanding home homestand maybe 384 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: even like, you know, win every single game kind of 385 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: Homestand but let's just take it one day at a time, 386 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: as the old baseball cliche goes, and see see what happens. 387 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up. 388 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: I gotta get out of here. 389 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: Jose, Yankees win. The Yankees win orse, he said, we 390 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: salvage the road trip at three and three, great foxes 391 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: ms pass them numbers. When he gets backed by a 392 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: long shot, I'm super bullish on Dominguez. I don't know 393 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: if he's gonna get off to the kind of start 394 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: that he got off to when he first got to 395 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: the big leagues last year. As the cat comes to say, hello, hey, 396 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: we won, we won. I forgot to put on the 397 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: fun hat because it was a late comeback, but I 398 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: was so focused. But let's break it out. Let's break 399 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: it out just so nobody can say that we didn't 400 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: wear it. Let's break out the fun hat, and let's 401 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: one more time for the retiring mister John Sterling. All Right, ladies, 402 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: and gentlemen, we're gonna wrap things up. I hope you 403 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: enjoy your off day. As always, call into the voicemail 404 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: reminder to check out the sponsor Nord VP slash NYY 405 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: recaps and get the deals. It'll help the uh, it'll 406 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: help the channel. Yes, I am wearing the same shirt 407 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: as yesterday, but it's for a very good reason. I 408 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: spilled coffee all over myself about ten minutes before the 409 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: end of the game. I didn't have time to clean off, 410 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: so I just picked up the shirt out of the hamper. 411 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: So if you watch two days in a row, you 412 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: see the same shirt. I promise not usually that gross, 413 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: but it is what it is. I'll see you next time.
