1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to pull up that's all.

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: Hey everybody, what's happening? Welcome back? Another voicemail show. Today

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: looks a little bit different. I'm undergoing some construction here

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: in my studio where I'm putting in a third stream

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: deck which has all my buttons for like scenes and

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: sounds and stuff like that, and I was working on

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: that this morning, so I didn't have time to do

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: the typical rundown. But we do have a number of

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: calls that I want to get to, and my thought

10
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: was that we could take calls from folks and you know,

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: based on the topic, we could pull up the player

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: that they're talking about on Baseball Savant and kind of decide,

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: you know, whether what they've done so far is good, bad,

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: ugly or other. So what we're gonna do is, we're

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: gonna start with Oswald Piazza and let me know, if

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: you guys like this format, this could be something. It's

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: a lot easier for me, honestly, but I think it

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: could make for a more engaging show. But let's go

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: ahead and pull up this first voicemail from or about

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: Oswell Parrazza.

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Hey, it's Gary from Clearwood to Beach, a big time

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: Yankee fan. I've noticed something that happened in spring training,

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 3: and it was about Oswell Perrazza. He was pulled and

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: I think you might even remember this. He was pulled

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: from a game because he had to go to the

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: eye doctor. Well, fast forward about ten days, and all

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: of a sudden, his offense is much much improved. And

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: I'll bet you was just the simple going to the

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: eye doctor and getting a pair of new contacts or

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: glasses and seems like maybe we're going to have a player.

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: Wonder what you think.

32
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: Thanks, you know, I hadn't even thought about that correlation.

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: I had totally forgotten about that, But you're right. He

34
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: did have a eye doctor appointment in the middle of

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: the spring training, and he's looked good since the season started.

36
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: I'd have to put him in the good category. Two

37
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: eighty six so far. Now, he doesn't walk, I mean,

38
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 2: he's in the zero percentile of walks because he just

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: doesn't have any. But he's got a couple of doubles,

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: he's got a home run already at a home run

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: in his first at bat. This is the most offensive

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: production that Oswald Perrazza has put up since coming to

43
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: the Yankees, and if it is something as simple as

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: just getting a change of prescription or some new contact

45
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: lenses or whatever. That's a huge w for the Yankees

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: because he can really play defense already, and if he

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: starts hitting, that just makes him a much more valuable player.

48
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see him get more reps over

49
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks as we, you know, find

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: out who he is as a player. I think or

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: Oswaldo Cabrera has done admirably over there. The Yankees, when

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: they get John Carlos stantonback, are going to be facing

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: a little bit of a decision because they're gonna have

54
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: some guys who are hitting that are going to need

55
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: to still get it bats. And we've got an interesting

56
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: call here about what the Yankees could do with that

57
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: third base situation.

58
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 4: Hi, Derek, this is Ray in Northern New York. I

59
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: just want to comment on Ben Rice, a very valuable

60
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: player in our lineup. When Stanton comes back, obviously, they'll

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: probably want to put him in the DH role. So

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 4: I think a good spot for Ben Rice would be

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: to see if he can play third base. I know

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: Joe Torrey played third base at one time in his

65
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: career and if he doesn't have the arm, maybe put

66
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: him at second base and put Jazz back over at

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: third base. I think Ben Rice is athletic enough to

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: accomplish this. And thank you very much, Derek, have a

69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: good day, all.

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: Right, So first of all, I appreciate the call. It's

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: an interesting idea. I think I can face this out.

72
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: They want to go with an athletic duo up the middle.

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: Jazz and Volpi are a pretty good double play combination,

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: but third base is not a horrible idea if he

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: keeps raking. Now we're looking at his stat cast numbers.

76
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: Now for the people who are listening to the audio platform,

77
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: he's in the ninety eighth percentile. Is Ben Rice of

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: batting run value? His ex woba's in the ninety seventh percentile,

79
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: his expected batting averages in the eighty ninth percentile. His

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: average exit velocity's in the ninety seven and a half

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: or ninety ninth percent excuse me, at ninety seven point five.

82
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: His barrel percentage is in the ninety ninth percentile. His

83
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: hard hit percentage is in the one hundredth percentile, so

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: best in the league. Sweet spot is in the seventy

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: fourth percentile bat speed is in the eighty fifth percentile.

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: I know I'm throwing a lot of percentiles at you,

87
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: but the point is that he is near the top

88
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: of the league and every frickin thing. He is a

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: dominant offensive player. Right now, he is only hitting three

90
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: zero six. I know, you know, we got some guys

91
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: hitting like three point fifty right now. But last year

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 2: he didn't have any anything looked, you know, anything like this.

93
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, he had a couple of good games, he

94
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: had a three home run game, but the exit velocity

95
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: and the hard contact consistently is incredible. The way he's

96
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: improved year over year. Now, can he play third base?

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: There's this old thought of oh, by the way, he's

98
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: got a four to nineteen on base percentage, which is

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: that's what Wan Soto had last year, So that tells

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: you how good he's been at getting on base so far. Anyway,

101
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: there's this old adage in baseball that if you can

102
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: play first base, you can play third base. I haven't

103
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: seen him take any reps over there, but if he

104
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: keeps raking, I could see them giving him some reps

105
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: over there. You gotta find a way to keep his

106
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: bat in the lineup when John Carlos Stanton comes back,

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: which you know could be in a month, maybe a

108
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: little bit more than a month. If Ben Rice in

109
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: a month has a four to twenty on base percentage

110
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: or or roughly a four to twenty on base percentage,

111
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: I guarantee you he's not going to triple a. I

112
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: guarantee you. You know, if he's got seven, eight, ten

113
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: home runs and right now he's got three, there's zero

114
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: chance zero that he goes back to the minor leagues.

115
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 2: Then the question becomes, how do you figure out the

116
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: roster crunch? Right? So what you can do is you

117
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: can have John Carlo be a twenty seven million dollar

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: DH platoon. So we haven't even taken only his defense away.

119
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: We've taken away his at bats against right handers. We

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: could do that, so that way you got basically a

121
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: platoon at DH. But then Ben Rice is getting most

122
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: of the bats because he's a left hander and there's

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: more right handers. But if you go to a lefty,

124
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: which a lot of teams have been throwing lefties at

125
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: the Yankees, you gotta face Big g in the middle

126
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: of the order. That's something I like. But the third

127
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: base thing is interesting, and I hadn't thought about that,

128
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't be shocked to see him take some

129
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: reps over there, especially if you know Oswaldo or or

130
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 2: Oswald Parrazza or both of them go into a slump.

131
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 2: Right now, both of them are playing pretty well. We

132
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: got another call here on Ben Rice.

133
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 5: What's up, Derek?

134
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: It's Kyle, longtime listener, but here since twenty twenty. I

135
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: think weird series. Obviously, pitching was all over the place

136
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: back Street obviously got I was thinking mostly though about

137
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Ben Rice. He looks just absolutely a lade up out there. Obviously.

138
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: Last year everyone was saying like his peripherals looked amazing,

139
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: but he wasn't getting results. Now his peripherals look amazing

140
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: and he is getting results.

141
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: YEP.

142
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, when Stanton comes back, assuming he

143
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: does come back this year, what do you do with him?

144
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: Because they've shown that Goldie is more than just a

145
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: lefty specialist. But he's playing every day and he's playing great.

146
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: There's no dh Roll as Stanton's in the lineup, and

147
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: the catcher's really gonna be wells the entire time. So

148
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: where do you put Rice? At that point? He's been

149
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: hitting still well. I feel like he has to be

150
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: in the lineup, but I don't know where anyway.

151
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: Yesterday, That's what we've been discussing, and I wanted to

152
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: lead into Paul Goldschmidt with this. I have to put

153
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: him in the good category eightieth percentile of batting run value.

154
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean he's read across the board here x wOBA

155
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: expected batting average, slugging sweet spot, fifth percentage, strikeout percentage.

156
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: I love that he's not a big strikeout guy, hitting

157
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: three eighty three on the young season. One home run

158
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: it was to lead off the second game of the

159
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: season eighteen for forty seven. I think he's done admirably

160
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: at first base. Now they have his range down and

161
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: his speed. He's not as slow as I thought he

162
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 2: would be. Like you think of a thirty seven year

163
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: old and you think, you know, probably not a guy

164
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: who can move to quickly. But he's in the fortieth percentile,

165
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: which is not far below average. He hustles, he's not

166
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: coming out of the lineup, and especially against lefties. So

167
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: the Yankees really are going to have a conundrum as

168
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: to what they do with John Carlos, Stanton, Ben Rice,

169
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: how they make this all fit. I thought we could

170
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: take a look at Oswaldo Cabrera. Now I don't think

171
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 2: we have any calls about him, but I think it's

172
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: worth noting that he's done a solid job this year.

173
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: You look at the batting run value, he's above average

174
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: base running value. He's roughly average fielding run value not

175
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: great so far, the expected batting average is very high.

176
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: He's hitting three ZHO eight on the season. No power

177
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: to speak of, no home runs, but we know he

178
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: has some pop. He had eight home runs last year

179
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: five the year before in limited playing time. Obviously not

180
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: a huge power guy, but it wouldn't surprise anybody if

181
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 2: he hit twelve or thirteen home runs I think that's

182
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: a fair estimate for him over the course of the season.

183
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: I like that he's become much more of a contact

184
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: oriented guy. You see on the sweet spot. He's averaging

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: in the one hundredth percentile fifty seven point nine percent

186
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: of the time he's on the sweet spot. The fifth

187
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: percentage is good, and then you know he's another guy

188
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: who doesn't have a lot of range. He's in the

189
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: twenty sixth percentile. The arm really hasn't registered yet, but

190
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: so far we're not seeing anything too alarming from Oswaldo.

191
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: I've only seen positives. The barrel rate not great and

192
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 2: the bat speed not tremendous in a ninth percentile, But overall,

193
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: I like what we're seeing from him. Just a good

194
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: solid baseball guy and a good team guy at that.

195
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: Let's take another call.

196
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 4: Here are you doing it all? This is Milton from Texas.

197
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: I felt cool last night or yesterday last night, and

198
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: I don't know you heard my message, but I wanted

199
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: to find out if you find if you can find

200
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 4: out for me. There was a players I don't know,

201
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 4: maybe two or three, four four years ago the Yankees,

202
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 4: and I don't really remember it was a position, but

203
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 4: he was hurt. Everybody knew that he was hurt in

204
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 4: October of the previous of that year, and then it

205
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: went all the way to spring training.

206
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: Just about the said, oh.

207
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: You know something, maybe you didn't heal. Let's let's uh,

208
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 4: let's do the surgery, which I think was a stupid move.

209
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: And the Yankees are so bad on managing your injuries,

210
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 3: and not that they can avoid injuries, but that they

211
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: manage when.

212
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 4: People are coming back. When the players are going to

213
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: come back, they always mistaken when they say one month,

214
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 4: it's really going to be two months. But anyway, it's

215
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: just the one of who that player was, and you

216
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: could look up.

217
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: You stumped me. I don't remember who you're talking about.

218
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: I know the Yankees have mismanaged a lot of injuries

219
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: that had uh, you know, Luis Severino had issues. Uh,

220
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: you know, you had issues with Aaron Hicks that they ignored.

221
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: I think Clint Frasier played with some stuff for a

222
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: while that you know he had issues with. And you know,

223
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: some of these guys just weren't good players. But I'm

224
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: not sure what specific player you're mentioning. So if anybody

225
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: knows in the comments or in the chat, fire it up.

226
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: Jared Williams says, any concerns about Jazz Chisholm. Yes, So

227
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull up Chisholms numbers now on stat cast

228
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 2: real quick and we'll take a look.

229
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: Now.

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: Obviously, the values are still all pretty good, which is

231
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: pretty much all the Yankees care about, I think, But

232
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,599
Speaker 2: the strikeouts are way up. He's in the fourth percentile.

233
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: He's awful at making contact lately, but when he does

234
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: barrow it up, he's barrowing it up hard. And he's

235
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: got already four home runs, he's got four stolen bases.

236
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: Last year, of course, he stole forty. I think he

237
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 2: really didn't like the cold weather. That would explain, you know,

238
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: how he played in October. I don't think he likes

239
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: cold weather baseball, and that's a concern for a team

240
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: that plays deep into the playoffs often. So you know,

241
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: the the slugging percentage, the expected slugging percentage, the sweet spot,

242
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: the bat speed, all good, but again, the problem with

243
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: him is just the fifth percentage of strikeout percentage, just

244
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: striking out way too much. Got another call here. I

245
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: had this one labeled as long, I don't remember what

246
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: it's about.

247
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 5: Hey Derek, what's going on? Christian Colin from the Upper

248
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: east side of Manhattan, And I just wanted to leave

249
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 5: one thought here because I just got done latching the game.

250
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: And at both ends of this game, and obviously I

251
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 5: know that he's already had the postgame report, but look

252
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 5: at both ends of this game, the starting and the

253
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 5: end game as well. Both pitchers are National League pitchers.

254
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: Both pitchers are on relatively winning ball clubs. Obviously, the

255
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: Braves are a much better ball club than the Brewers.

256
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: But here's one thought for you. Does Devin Williams want

257
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 5: to be here? Because he didn't have no trade clause

258
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 5: in his contract. He wasn't a free agent signing. We

259
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: got him via then Esther Cortez trade. Max fred was

260
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: a free agent signing, and he went out in the

261
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 5: seven score lists. There's also been a ton of good

262
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 5: media on Max Freed about how he's jelling with the team.

263
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 5: He seems generally excited to be here. Devin Williams, on

264
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 5: the other hand, the body language is so horribly bad.

265
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: I almost can't ignore it. I get that he's the

266
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 5: airbender and he nibbles and he throws a lot of pitches,

267
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 5: and like, maybe he doesn't have his best stuff right now.

268
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: I get it. It's a big change between you know,

269
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 5: Wisconsin and New York in every sense of the word.

270
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 5: Like it's a big change. I get it. It's April Tens.

271
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 5: I'm not here to completely freak out.

272
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: Okay, so Devin Williams, I might be freaking out a

273
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: little bit. Twelve era so far. I think you're right

274
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: that he doesn't look entirely comfortable. Yesterday he said that

275
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: he needs game reps and that he wasn't completely in

276
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: a groove, and my first thought was there should be

277
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: some kind of a training period during the spring in

278
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: which they get game reps. That's just my thought. But yeah,

279
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 2: he has not looked great so far. We got another

280
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: comment here about Anthony Volpi, and I wanted to pull

281
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: up his numbers. Here we've got I think I lost

282
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: the chat, but somebody asked, how do you feel about

283
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Volpee, And I think he's done an admirable job

284
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: so far this year. Obviously, the power has been great

285
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: for home runs already, which is a third of what

286
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: he had last year. The average not great two thirty four.

287
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: He is getting on base at a higher clip than

288
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: he did last year three twenty one on base percentage.

289
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: He's squared up the ball a lot, he's barreled it

290
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: up a lot. His range on defense has been fantastic.

291
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have a good year. I think

292
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: he's looking at a four to five win season if

293
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: he just keeps this up, even with the low batting average,

294
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: because he's putting up power numbers. But I'm looking forward

295
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: to seeing the Yankees come back to Yankee Stadium. They

296
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: play much better in the Bronx, and I mean, I

297
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: know that hasn't been true the last couple of years necessarily,

298
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: but I feel like this team, the way they hit,

299
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: is gonna play much better in the Bronx. And I

300
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: feel like Anthony volt picks up more home runs in

301
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: the Bronx because you can use that short porch. But yeah,

302
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: I have no issues with Anthony Folpi so far. All Right,

303
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: we got a quick ad from Scott and AJ about

304
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: Arena Club and then I'll be back to take more

305
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: voicemails and comments as we wrap up this off day episode.

306
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: Quick word from Arena Club back in sixty seconds.

307
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: Ft FAM Arena Club is the modern way to collect

308
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 7: cards or buy or sell or trade or even grade.

309
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 7: And we're highlighting slab packs because this is the new

310
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 7: way to rip open a pack and get a really

311
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 7: good card.

312
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: AJ.

313
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 7: But also if you're not into the card, like I

314
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 7: know you pulled a Bob Gibson card recently, you can

315
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 7: get an offer of ninety percent of the estimated value

316
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 7: and just accept it on the spot and give it

317
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 7: right back and maybe try again with another slab pack.

318
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 6: I ain't getting rid of my Bob Gibson autograph card.

319
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 6: Bob Gibson ain't car signing cards anytime soon, so I'm

320
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 6: keeping this one. It gets graded for you. There's no mess.

321
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 6: The only thing I wish they had bubblegum. Can they

322
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 6: virtually send me some bubble dumps cut Other than that,

323
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 6: it's awesome. You can buy sell cards, they grate them

Speaker 6: instantly for you, and physically you can also get the

325
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 6: cards if you want them. So I'm all for this.

326
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 6: This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

327

Speaker 2: All right, So let's take a look at some of

336
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 2: my baseball cards. So this is one my dad gave me.

337
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 2: This is a Roger Marris. I believe this is a

338
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty Roger Merris card with the Yankees. I don't

339
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 2: have a lot of baseball cards, but I keep a

340
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: few of them around, just as like decoration. I would

341
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 2: never sell them. I'm not like a you know, I

342
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: don't really like to sell stuff. I just ihard stuff

343
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: like I've got closets full of stuff. This is one

344
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: of my favorites. This is Don Mattingly Rookie card. This

345
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: is the Fleer Maddeningly Rookie card from eighty four, one

346
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: of my favorite cards. Took me forever to get this card.

347
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: I remember it was. I remember seeing it in the

348
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: card shop a lot when I was a kid. I

349
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: always wanted it, and then finally as an adult, I

350
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 2: found one on eBay Mafiro Tanaka card. I opened a

351
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: this is a what is this bowman? I opened this

352
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: a random pack and this was the first card on top,

353
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: and it was the first pack of cards I had

354
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 2: opened in forever. And Tanaka was one of my favorite pitchers,

355
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: so I kept this one around. We got a couple

356
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: of cards here. My brother gave me this one. This

357
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: is an Anthony Volpie card from USA Baseball from eighteen

358
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: and under. It still looks exactly the same, still babyface. Okay,

359
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: so we got to comment here from Yankee Legends is

360
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: tattoo Ray Tomorrow which takes me to my No. Stra

361
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: Derek prediction. Aaron Judge owns Robbie Ray. And my prediction

362
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: is that Aaron Judge will hit a home run tomorrow

363
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: off of Robbie Ray, especially if somebody gets on base

364
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: in front of him, because they're gonna have to pitch

365
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: to him a little bit. I mean, Robbie Ray knows

366
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: that Judge owns him. But I think Judge's going deep tomorrow.

367
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 2: He hasn't gone deep in a couple of days. He's due,

368
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 2: and I think he's gonna get to Robbie Ray. This

369
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: is another This is my favorite card. This is a

370
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: card where it shows Mantle's five hundred and sixty five

371
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 2: foot home run in Washington. It's hard to really see it,

372
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: but it's cool. It shows like the track of the

373
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 2: ball and the tape measure, and then on the back

374
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: it's got the newspaper says Mantle blast five hundred and

375
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: sixty five foot home run. So occasionally I'll turn it around.

376
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of got like a two sided look to it.

377
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: This is a Jeter card from his final game at

378
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, the walk off, and this was sent to

379
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: me by Jack Curry when I pre ordered his book.

380
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 2: And then Ricky Henderson, one of my favorite Yankees ever,

381
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 2: even though I didn't really get see him play that

382
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 2: much because I was younger. I just I always love

383
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: Ricky and I was so sad when he died. And

384
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: his statuette from McFarland will sit on this set for

385
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: the rest of the season in honor of Ricky Henderson.

386
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: So I got Willie Randolph here. This one it has

387
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: like it has an autograph, but it's not a real autograph.

388
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: It's a part of the card. I should probably put

389
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: this one in a case. I don't have a lot

390
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: of cases. We've got Tony Kuback. Tony Kuback, not sure

391
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: what year this is. Looks like nineteen sixty four Tony Kubeck.

392
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: We got David Kohane. There's another one that was sent

393
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: to me by Jack Curry for ordering one of his books.

394
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: And then we got a This is a nineteen fifty

395
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: eight Mickey Mantle All Star card, one of my favorite ones.

396
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: Another one that I just put on display. And then

397
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: last but not least, and this one is not in

398
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: a a case, but Melkie Cabrera. I always liked Melkie Cabrera.

399
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: I had a cat named Melkie. And there's another one

400
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: that came in the package from Jack Curry. He sent

401
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: some baseball cards and I keep this one around not

402
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 2: only because it came from Jack, but because I had

403
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: a cat named Melkie who died very young and I

404
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: think about him sometimes. He was a really cool cat.

405
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's it for today. Appreciate all of the calls.

406
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: We got a couple more that were just not not

407
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 2: listenable because there was some background sound or there was

408
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: some weird noise. But I appreciate all the calls people

409
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: who take time to call in Yankees. Back tomorrow in

410
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: the Bronx against the Giants again, Randy or Robbie Ray

411
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: on the mound and the Yankee should get to him.

412
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: So prediction Aaron Judge goes deep and I think the

413
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: Yankees have a chance to take two out of three

414
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: in this series. Thanks for all your calls and comments.
