1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: One to pull up Catroll. 2 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 2: How's it going? 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 3: Everybody Happy Monday? It was not a happy Easter Sunday 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 3: for the Yankees, who dropped their second game of the season, 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 3: this time to the Miami Marlins. They failed to sweep, 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 3: and really it was a bullpen problem. Jake Bird melted down. 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 3: The bullpen has been shaky. I mean, I think that's 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 3: fair to say. There's been a number of guys in 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 3: the lineup that have been shaky, but there's also been 10 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 3: some positives, and we're gonna talk a little bit about 11 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 3: both the positives and the negatives. Yankees will begin a 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 3: series with the A's tomorrow. They've got Cam Schlitzler, who 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 3: I'm hoping can be a stopper. The way he's thrown 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: this year, I have no doubt that if he pitches 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,160 Speaker 3: like that, he will be the stopper against Aaron Savali. 16 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: And then we get Luis Severino versus Will Warren on Wednesday, 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 3: so that should be fun. But yesterday's loss snapped a 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 3: four game win streak for the Yankee and the loss 19 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: went to Jake Bird and probably cost Ben Rice a belt. 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: Ben Rice with a thirteen eighty ops to begin the season, 21 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: let's start with the first call is from Ray. 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek Utmanis Ray just want to put this out 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 4: there right now, Ben Rice is going to start at 24 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 4: first base in the All Star Game to the American 25 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 4: League right that time. 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 3: I don't disagree one hundred percent because the numbers could 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: be great. Although the one thing I will say is 28 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 3: that Laddie Junior has kind of a following in terms 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 3: of the fan base. He's really well known and obviously 30 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 3: playing in the World Series last year, having a great postseason. 31 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: A lot of times that gets rewarded by the fans 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 3: in the following year's All Star Game if the player 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 3: is even having a decent season. I haven't even looked 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 3: at how he's doing so far, but Ben Rice off 35 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 3: to a great start, hitting three seventy with three home 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: runs is unpaced for fifty four home runs and one 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety eight RBIs. We will absolutely take that 38 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: one hundred percent of the time. But I wanted to 39 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: dive deep into the metrics for Ben Rice because I 40 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: think it's worth noting that metrically he's maintaining a lot 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 3: of the dominance that he had over the last couple 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: of years. Let's go ahead and take a look at 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: his stat Cast numbers. Now he's near the top of 44 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 3: the league in batting run value ex BOBA, expected batting average, 45 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: expected slugging average, exit velocity is ninety seven miles an hour. Essentially, 46 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 3: it's ninety six point nine, which is in the ninety 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 3: ninth percentile. So when he's hitting the ball, he's hitting 48 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 3: it really, really hard. Now we're going to take a 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: look back at his last couple of years, and one 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 3: thing you can do in stat cast is you can 51 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: hit this little play button and it'll basically take you 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 3: through his previous stat Cast numbers. Now, he's been unlucky 53 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: in his major league career. You see that as a 54 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: rookie back in twenty twenty four, except for the three 55 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 3: homer game, his numbers were not grady at one seventy one, 56 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: but the metrics were still pretty good. He barreled it 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 3: up a lot, He still had good exit velocity was 58 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 3: a above average. His chase percentage was pretty good, but 59 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: the fifth percentage and strikeout percentage were not great. He 60 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: did walk a lot, and then if you go forward 61 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty five, metrically, he was near the top 62 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: of the chart in almost everything, and well above average 63 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 3: in everything except base running and fielding. And this year 64 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: he's actually been fielding the ball a lot better. So 65 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: he's made strides across his whole game. And while I 66 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: don't know if he will start the All Star Game, 67 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: because a lot of times that could be a popularity contest, 68 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 3: I have no doubt that his numbers, if he stays healthy, 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: are going to be worthy of All Star consideration. And 70 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: I really do think that he's on his way to 71 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: a forty home run one hundred RBI season, and that 72 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: would put him right in line with some of the 73 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 3: great first basement that the Yankees have had over the years, 74 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: whether it's Don Mattingly, you know, Tino Martinez to Sharon 75 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 3: never got to forty home runs with the Yankees. He 76 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: had thirty nine home runs. But anyway, Ben Rice off 77 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: to a great start. Here is Steve from Italy. 78 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 5: It's Stephen from Italy calling on Easter Monday. So I 79 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: just want to say, you know, the Marlins are not 80 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 5: a strong team like the Blue Jays, but they do 81 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: the same thing the Blue Jays do, which is that 82 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 5: they put the bat on the ball and they force 83 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 5: you to feel it, and they force you to make mistakes. 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 5: Now I don't actually even know in the middle of 85 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 5: the game on Sunday, watching it after the fact for 86 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 5: the time zone thing, and so I don't know who's 87 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 5: you know, who's going to actually win the game. But 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 5: the point is they're giving us trouble because they. 89 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: Hit the ball. 90 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 5: And this whole analytics fascination with you know, strikeouts and 91 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 5: home runs and the idea that batting average doesn't matter 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 5: just seems to be completely shown to not be true, 93 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 5: or at least not completely true in every case anytime 94 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 5: we play Toronto or Miami. So I don't know, I 95 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 5: have the feeling that you generally agree with that that 96 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 5: it's important to hit the ball in baseball, which seems 97 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 5: like a nough thing to say, but we actually have 98 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 5: to come to that, have to actually say that. Anyway, 99 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 5: Keep up the great work behind everybody there. 100 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: Play Steve first of all, bonus points for using the 101 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 3: vocabulary word banal. That's a great, great word. So Xavier 102 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: Edwards off to a great start, hitting four to seventy one. 103 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: I mean they've got some real players, some contact hitters 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 3: on that team. You know, Liam Hicks off to a 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: good start. I mean these are good players who are 106 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 3: in the young part of their career. And Griffin Conine 107 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: obviously a legacy player. He's off to a good start. 108 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,359 Speaker 3: Jeff co nine was, I believe, part of that Marlins 109 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: team that won a World Series in ninety seven. He was, 110 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: you know, a really good player for them. But yes, 111 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 3: they do make a lot of contact. And teams that 112 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: make contacts can you give you problems this day and age, 113 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 3: Because let's face it, baseball has gotten to this point 114 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: where three true outcomes, the home runs, strikeouts, and walks, 115 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: seem to be the way the game. And it's honestly 116 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: refreshing to see a team play the way the Marlins do, 117 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: the way the Blue Jays do. It's fun. I wish 118 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 3: the Yankees made more contact. 119 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Here's Jason Hey Derek, one time built winner, Jason from Allentown, 120 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: pulling on my drive back from the stadium, tough top loss, 121 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: hell of a day. Get to the stadium at noon, 122 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: barely drizzling, you know, thinking, all right, maybe the game 123 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: will get delayed a little bit, games will start till 124 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: five ten, and but you know, I still felt good, 125 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: feeling my old Smacks Freed was out there dealing obviously 126 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: he got you know, gave up a couple more runs 127 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: than Idle liked. I thought he'd go at least six 128 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: innings into the seventh only giving up one. Well, he 129 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: got into the sixth seventh inning only giving up three. 130 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: Yankees kept him in the game, and then they flew it. Man, 131 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: They freaking blew it. I wanted to get your opinion 132 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: on this man. I had great seats for sitting right 133 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: over the right field wall. Ben Wright hit that home 134 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: run right to us and had a great view of everything. 135 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: And then I got these hecklers behind me the whole game, 136 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: yelling at judge, who's right in front of us, twenty 137 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: feet away, Judge, Judge, what numbers Derek Jeter? And I'm like, 138 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: what are they trying to get at? Are they calling 139 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 1: him shit? Are they making the number two reference? So 140 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: they say he's number two, and the whole time they're 141 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: just trying to get him to hold up the number two. 142 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: So we say, in peace to him. 143 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 6: It was a lot of fun. 144 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: Though. 145 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: It's still a great game, Shane. They lost, but you know, 146 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: what's a long season, So who's going to be the 147 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: best over one sixty two. I still think it's going 148 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: to be the Yanks to supposed see him go all 149 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: the way by Derek. 150 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: Well, Jason and Allentown. Thanks for the call and congrats 151 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 3: on your belt win. So yeah, it does seem like 152 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: a long day at the Yankee Stadium. I know Frankie 153 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: Baseball was there and I was texting with him throughout 154 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: the day and asking him, you know, how's it looking. 155 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: You guys think you'll play? And I want to give 156 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: a shout out to Frankie because he said I think 157 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna play around five ten, five point fifteen something 158 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: like that, and he said that like two hours before 159 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 3: the time was announced, So you know, little frank Stradamus there. 160 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: But look, it was a tough day. I appreciate everybody 161 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: who's stuck with it and as a real fan obviously 162 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: like Jason is. But I think part of that is 163 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 3: that they wanted to milk as much concessions out of 164 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: everybody as they can. They were able to get it done, 165 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: it seemed to throw off the rhythm of everybody. And 166 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: as far as the judge thing, I mean, I think 167 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 3: that's a product of people drinking for three four hours 168 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 3: before the game begins and probably just trying to have 169 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: a little bit of fun. But here's Jeff from Fishkill. 170 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, this is Jeff and Fishkill. A couple of 171 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: things that comes to mind. Austin Wells, Now, I think 172 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four was a good year at twenty twenty 173 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: five and now this year a big example size of 174 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: him continuously not getting it done at the play here. 175 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: So it was get an interview before the twenty twenty 176 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: five seeds and then he founded convicted that he would 177 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: be one of the best two way catchers in the sport. 178 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: And that just does not happened offensively. And I almost 179 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: wonder what is the from a constant standpoint, watching right 180 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: who was behind him obviously now moving to a different position, 181 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 2: and it's really just exceling. I wonder from a constant standpoint, 182 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: what that's done from Austin Wells being right. 183 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna catch off a little bit because the 184 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 3: volume is a little bit low and I don't want 185 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: to lose people here. But the question is Austin Wells 186 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 3: obviously struggling offensively to begin the season, what does seeing 187 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 3: his backup basically Ben Rice moving to another position and 188 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: being an offensive powerhouse due for Austin Wells confidence. Question 189 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: is I don't know, I can't get into or answer 190 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 3: is like, I don't know, I can't get into his head. 191 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: I think Austin Wells is feeling a little bit of 192 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: the pressure of needing to perform because the bottom of 193 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: the lineup has not done much, and I think he's 194 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: maybe trying to do a little bit too much. I 195 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 3: think he needs to relax. I needs he's I think 196 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 3: he needs to focus on exactly what uh Steve from 197 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: Italy was saying, putting the bat on the ball. I 198 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: think he needs to make more contact. He's got a 199 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 3: good swing, no question, he's got a good swing. But 200 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 3: I think he tries to hit home runs. I think 201 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: he tries to launch the ball. I think he swings 202 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 3: too hard. I think he just needs to try and 203 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: be a bit more consistent in making contact and let 204 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: the results come. Now, if you go back to last season, 205 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: he hit two nineteen, so obviously not what you want. 206 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 3: He had twenty one home runs seventy one rbi, so 207 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: the production was there in terms of the power numbers, 208 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 3: but the average has not been good. Twenty twenty four, 209 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 3: he hit two twenty nine with thirteen home runs in 210 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifteen games and then twenty twenty three 211 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 3: when he first came up to twenty nine. So he 212 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 3: has never been a good hitter. He's a two to 213 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: twenty three career hitter. And if you think of how 214 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: poorly the Yankees have hit this season, their average is 215 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 3: two twenty three. That's what Ben right or sorry, what 216 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: Austin Wells has done for his entire career with an 217 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 3: OBP under three hundred. So certainly some cause for concern. 218 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: You hope he turns it around, but I am not 219 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: terribly optimistic. We can take a look at his stat 220 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 3: cast numbers too. You know what, I haven't looked at 221 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: his stat cast numbers this year. We'll see if he's 222 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 3: even registering, because sometimes catchers, you know, they don't register 223 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 3: right away if they don't have enough plate appearances. Okay, yeah, 224 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: so he's well below average as we'd expect in run value. 225 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: Base running value non exist, and got to get on 226 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 3: base to have base running value. Fielding run values above average. 227 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 3: Walk percentage is good, hard hit percentage is good. Exit 228 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 3: velocity is really good ninety three point eight. But yeah, 229 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 3: just whiffing a lot. He's in the twenty fourth percentile 230 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 3: of fifth percentage, twenty eighth percentile of strikeout percentage, so 231 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: basically bottom quarter of the league in both of those areas. 232 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: It is, as Joe Girardi would say, not what you want. Okay, 233 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 3: we got two two more voicemails. But first I gotta 234 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 3: give a shout out to Sea. 235 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 7: G with over thirty five million downloads.

This is Melvin calling you from Columbus, Ohio. 263 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 4: I always loved the show. It's been a while. Just 264 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: had a newborn, so been very busy. 265 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 3: CONGRATU. 266 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 6: So yeah, man, just wanted to let you know that, 267 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 6: you know, just saw the game today. 268 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 9: I'm not freaking out. 269 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: I think it's again it's too early, but I just 270 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 4: wanted to see your thoughts about what you think. I've 271 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 4: been watching the Yankees for a long time, but one 272 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 4: thing I've noticed about the Yankees is they let problems 273 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 4: mingle way too long until it's an obvious problem for 274 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 4: them change it. We saw that with Devin Williams last year. 275 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 4: Or open still very early, you know, but if you 276 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 4: smell smoke, this is fire, right. 277 00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 8: So essentially the. 278 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 6: We have an amazing lab, but you can't keep depending 279 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 6: on it. Logan has up there and you know, throwing 280 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 6: crazy throwing guys. Just we need to put somebody in 281 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 6: the book that actually can perform and get pieces that 282 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 6: actually look good. And I just call it, we got 283 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 6: to develop them, you know. So I don't know your 284 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 6: top on that. On mother that I love the show, 285 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 6: keep it up. 286 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 3: I agree with you that the Yankees let problem slinker, 287 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: and you mentioned specifically Devin Williams, but we can go 288 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: back to Aaron Hicks, we can go back to Josh Donaldson. 289 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: They let Tyler Wade try and develop far longer than 290 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: they should have. You know, Clint Frazier was a problem. 291 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: You know, Anthony Volpie looking at his numbers from twenty 292 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 3: twenty five, they left him in there far too long 293 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 3: when it was obviously was not playing well. Turned out 294 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: he had a massive shoulder problem that required a big 295 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 3: time surgery to twenty two career hitter. Yeah, they tend 296 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: to try and fix guys, and they have confidence that 297 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: they can fix guys, but sometime it takes a bit longer. 298 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 3: Then you want it to and and and that can 299 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: drag out and drag down your team. And I think 300 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 3: that one of the problems that we're going to see 301 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: that they're gonna let mingle too long is one. The 302 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 3: bullpen is not good. Well, I wouldn't say not good. 303 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: It's got some it needs more depth. And number two, 304 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 3: Ryan McMahon stinks. Ryan McMahon just stinks. Let's just pull 305 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: up Ryan McMahon's numbers. He is hitting eighty seven. He 306 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: has not hit at all with the Yankees since being 307 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 3: traded over last year. And we'll talk more about him 308 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: in just a minute. But they they let these problems 309 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 3: just continue to dwindle, and it's it's a problem itself. 310 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: Here's Willie and Derek. 311 00:15:55,160 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 9: This is Willy in for you. Ang goldnerth we would 312 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 9: probably have no run. 313 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, the infield has been bad. I think it's worth 314 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 3: talking also about chishm Jazz. Chism off to a tough 315 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: start this year. He is hitting one ninety four now. 316 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 3: He is always somebody who struggles in cold weather, and 317 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 3: that could be a problem because the Yankees are expected 318 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: to play in October. As somebody mentioned in the comments 319 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: last night, which I thought was a really good comment, 320 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 3: which deserves a little bit of recognition. Yeah, I mean 321 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 3: guys who struggle in cold weather. I mean, can you 322 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: really count on them in the postseason if you can't 323 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 3: count on them in April. And he's off to a 324 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: tough start, although he did have a double late in 325 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: the game yesterday, He's hitting just one ninety four with 326 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 3: three RBIs through the first nine games, and you have 327 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 3: to consider him a worry at this point, you know. 328 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: And you know, we looked at McMahon. Caby arrows off 329 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 3: awful right now, He's hitting one twenty nine and his 330 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 3: defense has not been great. Think he's have some real 331 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: problems in the infield, with the exception of Ben Rice, 332 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: And you know, I think the record has overshadowed, you know, 333 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: some of these red flags that the Yankees have so far. 334 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 3: I mean, Camille Devall's got an era of almost eleven, 335 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: David Bednard has been anything but a sure thing, and 336 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: Jake Bird yesterday meltdown. Tim Hill has been pretty good. 337 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 3: Yarborough seems fine.
