1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: All right, but the feel oh wow, wanted to talk.

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: It was game three of a weekend series between the

3
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Yankees and the Rays, and it was practically home run

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: derby Aaron Judge taking the team lead. Hose Travino with

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: two home runs, the labor Torres went deep, and Luis

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: Heal with a hell of a performance as the Yankees

7
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,480

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: going to everybody? I did not anticipate doing a show today.

20
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Today is Mother's Day, so Happy Mother's Day to all

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: the moms out there, especially my mom. We spent the

22
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: afternoon at my brother's house, and we were trying to

23
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: watch the game on our phones, and so it was

24
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: pretty much the worst possible way to watch a baseball

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: game on a tiny little phone from five or six

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: feet away. But I got the gist of it. Also.

27
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of it on the radio

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: on the way over. I saw the first part of

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: the game. I left right before Jose Travino hit his

30
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: first home run. He ended up hitting two home runs

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: in the game. Let's hear it for Jose. Now. I

32
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: don't have the traditional full highlights that Frankie Baseball gives us,

33
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: so we're just gonna put up the player by player highlights.

34
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: As Charlie Moore says, he ef and hates Tampa Bay,

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: and I agree, Louis heel with another tremendous outing today.

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: He is now four and one on the season, two

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: point five to one er and that whip is creeping

38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: down one point nine. I don't know how you send

39
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: this guy down to Triple A, and I don't know

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: how you send this guy to the bullpen. He's just

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: been absolutely terrific. The fastball today wasn't triple digits, but

42
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: it was ninety four to ninety seven, maybe a couple

43
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: of ninety eight's as you see right there, a couple

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: of sliders. He had Jose Travino showcasing the power. He

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: had two home runs in this game and they were

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: both no doubters. You see this one absolutely raked about

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: three quarters of the way up the bleachers in left field,

48
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: and he knew it. And then later on gets the

49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: ball up and in ninety miles an hour and sends

50
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: it down the little I guess entryway that they have there.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: But Anthony Volpi had a good day. He was flashing

52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: the lever a leather and you see the throw here

53
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: plenty on. The throw goes across his body and nails

54
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the runner. And then he also hit a triple to

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: lead off. The game ended up scoring right away on

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: a sackfly by Juan Soto. Aaron Judge hit his tenth

57
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: home run of the season. He now leads the team.

58
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: There was an eighty six mile an hour cutter that

59
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: did not cut. And he also found the entrance way

60
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: in right field this time. And I told you at

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: some point you were going to look up and he

62
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: was gonna be leading the team in home runs and

63
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: that has finally happened. Big swing of the bat from

64
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Glabor Torres today. Now he came up with runners on

65
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: second and third in a big situation, Yankees clinging to

66
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: a one run lead after a grand slam by Jose Siri,

67
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: and we were not expecting him to come up big

68
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: and he did. And also Jami Jones with his first

69
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: career home run today. So a lot of positives. If

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: you're a Yankees fan, once again, check out odds Jam

71
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: use the code recaps for thirty five percent off and

72
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: a seven day free trial. If you're a degenerate gambler,

73
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: like a lot of the people, I know, it will

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 1: serve you well. Because there's a lot of arbitrage, bedding

75
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: and things like that. I will say it wasn't all positive.

76
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Caleb Ferguson continues to pitch like do do He has

77
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: a six point four to three er and that is

78
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: not what you want. He gave up four runs in

79
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: a third of an inning, three hits and a walk.

80
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: Nick Birdie came in, he gave up a run, He

81
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: had a couple of walks. Luke Weaver did a nice

82
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: job in relief to get out of it one in

83
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: two thirds innings. Let's hear it for Luke Weaver Andrew

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: Taylor suggesting Garrett Crochet from the White Sox. If the

85
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: White Sox hold a fire sale, there's a lot of

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: guys that we could look at, Daniel Kopek or Michael Kopak. Sorry,

87
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, Caleb Ferguson is a dud. I mean not

88
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: every move is gonna be, you know, a great move,

89
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: and this one certainly was not. And Ian Hamilton gave

90
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: up a run today in the ninth they gave up

91
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: a home run, but the Yankees hung on to win. Sorry,

92
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: my dog is gonna go nuts. We've got somebody knocking

93
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: on the door right now. All these kids, these kids

94
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 1: hit a ball into our yard and they're gonna, They're gonna,

95
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 1: So we should put up a sign that says, do

96
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: not ring our doorbell ever under any circumstances. Just go

97
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: get your balls, Go get your balls, Go get your

98
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: shine boxes too. Anyway, Yankees take two out of three

99
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and now they have a day off tomorrow. I put

100
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: up a video this morning that was basically twenty five

101
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: percent of the season. What do we know? What we

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: what have we learned. So one of the things we've learned,

103
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: as Jared Williams says, is that Caleb Ferguson is terrible.

104
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and agree with that. If my

105
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: button weren't Automatron says. Is it a Matt Blake problem

106
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: or a Caleb Birdie problem? Caleb N. Birdie problem. I

107
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: don't think it's a Matt Blake problem. I mean, look

108
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: what Matt Blake has done with so many other pictures.

109
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: I think. I mean, not every single you know player,

110
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: and not every single picture is going to be responsive

111
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: to the same things, to the same type of coaching.

112
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: And also it's an uh it's a matter of execution, right.

113
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't

114
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: make him drink. So hey, look, Yankees obviously needed another

115
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: series win. Oh man, these these people won't stop ringing

116
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: the doorbell anyway. Hopefully it's not coming through the podcast,

117
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: but if it is, I'm sorry, I apologize. I was

118
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: not expecting that. But there's some there's a whiffleball game

119
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: going on next next door, and I think we had

120
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: a judge and blast into the backyard. So I just

121
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: wanted to get on and talk a little bit about

122
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: the series, and you know, find out from you guys

123
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: how you feel now that we're slightly beyond a quarter

124
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: of the way through the season. And by the way,

125
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: check out that video slash podcast. I put it on

126
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: podcast platforms if you haven't, and remind her to like

127
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: and subscribe if you're new, and to call in. We're

128
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a voicemail show tomorrow seven one, eight, eight, nine, nine,

129
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: ten sixty eight. That is the voicemail number. Call in.

130
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: We've already got a few call ins, but we could

131
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: use a few more because there's no game tomorrow night,

132
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: so we'll make a nice long voicemail video. I'll try

133
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: and get all of them that I receive in uh

134
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: And once again, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms

135
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: out there. Nick Velasquez says that he wishes that we

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: had Wandi per Alta. Wandi was terrific for us, and

137
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: Caleb is just having an awful year, says Nathaniel Brezi,

138
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: and I agree, too many freaking meatballs and not cut

139
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: out for New York. I don't think David Lauren says

140
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: he was good before coming here. That is true of

141
00:07:54,840 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: many a player throughout baseball. History. Peter Rigsburg says, the

142
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: Yankees on pace for one hundred and two wins a

143
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: quarter of the way through the season. You'll take one

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: hundred and two wins if, like, if I told you

145
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: right now, okay, the Yankees are gonna play at the

146
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: same exact pace for the rest of the season. They're

147
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna finish with one hundred and two wins. Would you

148
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: sign up for it? I would. I know it gets

149
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: you to the playoffs. I don't know if it gets

150
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: your home field advantage, and I don't know if it

151
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: wins you the East because Baltimore is still really good

152
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: and I think they lost today. They're twenty six and thirteen.

153
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: Yankees now lead the division with twenty seven wins. You'd

154
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: like to be the first team to thirty wins. Dodgers

155
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: have twenty seven and Phillies have twenty eight. Phillies are

156
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: playing really, really good baseball. Bryce Harper having a huge

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: year playing first base. Brewers having a good year. They're

158
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: twenty four and sixteen. But the Yankees curb stomped them Dodgers.

159
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they got an all star lineup, they

160
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: got show Hey, they got bets, they got Freddy Freeman

161
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: show Haes having a monster season, Padres climbing back in it.

162
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Though they're six and a half out, they're looking good

163
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: and Michael King has had two really good starts in

164
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: a row for the Padres. So take a few comments

165
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: here and just see how you guys are feeling. John

166
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: Edison has too many games of scoring two runs or less,

167
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: almost a quarter of the games, a quarter of the

168
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: games of a quarter of the season. So it you know,

169
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: it sounds worse than it really is. But the Yankees

170
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: have had a lot of games where they just didn't hit.

171
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: But now that Aaron Judge is starting to cook, I

172
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,599
Speaker 1: think that, you know, the Yankees are going to be

173
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult to pitch too over the next

174
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: several months. Keep him in the lineup, keep him healthy,

175
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: and also, you know, it's big swing from Glabor Torres today.

176
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: He has been awful. I mean, there's no other way

177
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: to say it. He was awful. When he was down

178
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: one to two in the counter, maybe o two in

179
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: the count. My brother and I were sitting there looking

180
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: at each other and we said, oh, he's gonna strike out.

181
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you know, he's or he's gonna pop

182
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: out or have an unproductive at back because he's trying

183
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: to hit home runs and then we hear crack and

184
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: he hits a home run, and yeah, he enjoyed it too,

185
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: so maybe that will get him going. It's a it's

186
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: a cool thing when somebody has a big home run

187
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: or a big moment and then you have an off day.

188
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's true of Louis Heel, that's true of

189
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Jose Travino. You have an off day to let it

190
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: soak in. Let's take a look at Louis Heel because

191
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just a terrific day. His numbers this season

192
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: are really great. At this point, eight games started, he's

193
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: got a two point five to one ERA, forty eight

194
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: strikeouts in forty three innings, pitch twenty six walks, so

195
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: too many walks. And today he didn't have the strikeout

196
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: pitch working. He only had three strikeouts and two walks,

197
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: but he was getting ground balls. He had some nice

198
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: plays from Volpi and from Torres, and you see him

199
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: getting getting pumped up there on the strikeout and he

200
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: can still dial it up to ninety eight. See him

201
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: pitching here against the Astros last time out. He's put

202
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: together several really good starts in a row, and that's

203
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: why his numbers are what they are. He's just having

204
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: a terrific breakout year. I say this almost every time

205
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: he pitches, it seems, and that's a good thing. It's repetitive,

206
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: but it's a good thing. Every year in Major League

207
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: Baseball there are guys who break out. There are guys

208
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: who either come from out of nowhere or come back

209
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: from injury or come up through the minor leagues, but

210
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: they make an impact in the league and they basically

211
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: show that they're a dynamic player. We're going to take

212
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a look at Luis Heal's stat cast stuff in just

213
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: a second, but I just wanted to make sure that

214
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: everybody got a chance to look at this guy's numbers

215
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: because he has been terrific. To see him pitching against

216
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: the Oriols, he outdueled Corbyn Burns, I mean, he's been terrific.

217
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: So let's go ahead and take a look at his

218
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: stat cast numbers on the season. Bear with me, there

219
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: we go. So, pitching run value in the ninety third percentile,

220
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: fastball run value in the eighty seventh percentile. Breaking ball

221
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: run value is below average, but it's still not bad

222
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: off speed run value. So the change up ninety fourth

223
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: percentile one of the better change ups in the league.

224
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: He's expected eras in the seventy seventh percentile. See he

225
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: keeps the ball off the barrel of the bat. There's

226
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: two things that concern me. Two things. One his walk

227
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: percentage in the six percentile, so he's had some issues

228
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: with walks. And the ground ball percentage in the twenty

229
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: fourth percentile. But it's hard to get ground balls when

230
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: you're striking guys out. He does get some soft contact.

231
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: You look at the hard hit percentage the eighty fifth percentile.

232
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: A lot of times with guys who throw really hard,

233
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: you'll see pop ups. You'll see guys chasing the top

234
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: of the zone and they'll hit pop ups, and that's

235
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: something that he gets a lot of. The fifth percentage

236
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: is good and the strikeout percentage is good, but he

237
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: doesn't get a lot of chases because he doesn't throw

238
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: a nasty, breaking ball. He gets strikes, strikeouts in the zone,

239
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: just overpowering guys. So a lot to like about Luis

240
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: Heo if you're a Yankees fan, and I'm very, very

241
00:12:54,520 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: excited because he is the real deal. Andrew Taylor says

242
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: that Nestor has to be the odd man out at

243
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: this point when Cole comes back. Now, look there's still

244
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and Albert Junior agrees as well, seeing a few comments

245
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: about this, Look, there's still several weeks. Is probably five

246
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: to six weeks before we get Garrett Cole walking through

247
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: the door and towing the slab at Yankee Stadium. And

248
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: I do hope he makes his season debut at Yankee Stadium.

249
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: But if he were to walk through the door right now,

250
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think Nester Cortez is the odd

251
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: man out. I mean, you just can't. You can't take

252
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: Louise Heel out of the bullpen, out of the rotation.

253
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: I know that he was the last guy into the rotation.

254
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: He was Garrett Cole's replacement, But it feels like it's

255
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: destined to be. He feels like one of those special

256
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: things we're gonna remember about this season. You know, sometimes

257
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: guys just come from out of nowhere and they make

258
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: you keep putting him out there. Right now, it would

259
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: be a boneheaded move for the Yankees to remove Louis

260
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: Heel from the rotation, and apps boneheaded move. And Clark

261
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Schmidt his last time out was terrific. Clark Schmidt continues

262
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: to get better and better and better every time out.

263
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortez has pitched in the bullpen before. He's a

264
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: soft throwing lefty. But wouldn't you rather see Nestor Cortes

265
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: in a situation where you gotta get a lefty than

266
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: Caleb fucking Ferguson. I would. I have no problem putting

267
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: Nestor Cortes in Caleb Ferguson's role. In fact, I think

268
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: he would thrive in that role. Couple times a week,

269
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 1: come in and get some tough lefties, maybe pitch an inning,

270
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, take some pressure off the bullpen because you

271
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: know he can throw a lot of innings too. I mean,

272
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: he can't throw two hundred innings, so he's not gonna

273
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: pitch the whole season in the rotation anyway. Let him

274
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: go to the bullpen and be an important swing man,

275
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: and then if you need somebody to make a spot

276
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: start in the near future, he's already stretched out. If

277
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: you decide that you want to give Garrett Cole a

278
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit of extra rest now, and then you put

279
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Nestor in for a sixth man through the rotation once

280
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: or twice, and you give some rest to some guys

281
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: who might need it. So I really like the idea

282
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: of putting Nestor in the bullpen. Gaming Kid Joe says,

283
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: our pitching is set up for years to come. Let's

284
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: hope that Garrett Cole stays healthy. I don't want to

285
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: get too far ahead of things. Charlie Moore with the

286
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: super Chat says, thanks for being honest and open with

287
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: your opinion always. I try to be I try to

288
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: be Aaron Boone. I'm sure this is not the Aaron Boone,

289
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: but it might be. You never know, says dumb question.

290
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: Do you think we get rid of Glabor Torres by

291
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: the trade deadline? It's so far away that there's so

292
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: many things that are unknown at this point, right, I mean,

293
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: does Glabor Torres get hot now? Was this a swing

294
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: that's gonna turn him around? You know a lot of

295
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: times there are turning points for a player in a season,

296
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I think back to Mark dashera in

297
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. He got off to a horrendous start,

298
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: but then a rod came back, and from the moment

299
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: a rod came back, he was on fire. Aaron Judge

300
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: got off to a really slow start, and from the

301
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: moment that we put out that breakdown video that showed

302
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: he was late. I don't know if he saw it,

303
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, since then he's hitting like three seventy.

304
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: There are turning points, and I hope to God that

305
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: this was a turning point for Glabra Torres. If it was,

306
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna trade him. I think they'll

307
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: ride him out because they want to win a championship.

308
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: If he's not really playing well, I don't see anybody

309
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: wanting to trade for him. So with those things considered,

310
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: I have to say I don't think Labor Torres is

311
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna get traded. Now. Will he re sign with the Yankees?

312
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I don't think so. Not only

313
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: do you have the emergence of Oswaldo Cabrera this year

314
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: playing better. He's still just twenty five years old, but

315
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: you got your bit Vivas in the minor leagues. You

316
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: got some other young guys coming. George Lombard is looking

317
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: like the real deal. He's far away. I mean, he's

318
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: eighteen years old, but he could be two years away.

319
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: And you don't want to have him blocked by Glabra Torres.

320
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: You got what's his name, Roderick Arius. I know he's

321
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: a shortstop, but Volpi looks like he's locked up shortstop.

322
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: And I still contend that Volpi would be an amazing

323
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: second baseman should the Yankees decide to do that. I

324
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: could imagine Volpi winning gold Gloves at shortstop two years

325
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: in a row, and then two or three years in

326
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: a row at second base. I really think he could.

327
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: He's that good. And if he was at second base,

328
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: you would be you'd probably be the best second baseman

329
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: in the league. Quite frankly. And Roderick Arius, what we

330
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: know of him is that he's an amazing defender, and

331
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: he's got a really good arm, and he's about two

332
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: years away. So at some point you're gonna need to

333
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: shift guys around in that infield. And I think Labor

334
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: Torres being locked in to a big contract is not

335
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: gonna be great now. He had a good game today,

336
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: made a couple of nice defensive plays, hit the big

337
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: home run, But I'm not ready to give him an

338
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: eighty or ninety million dollar contract because I think the

339
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: minute you do that, he's gonna fall off a Cliff.

340
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he just has that written all over him.

341
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: So anyway, I don't think they're gonna trade him, but

342
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't think labor Torres will be back. So john

343
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: Na says, who sits when DJ comes back? Probably DJ? Honestly,

344
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: I don't know DJ's gonna have to hit his way

345
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: into this lineup. Luis Falcaro says two out of three

346
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: from a division rival is nice is He says Volpie

347
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: has too good of range to be at second base.

348
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: But we saw in the breakdown of his arm he's

349
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: in the thirtieth percentile for shortstops of his arm. I'm

350
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: gonna pull up his numbers two Anthony will be all right,

351
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: let's see here. So you see that the batting, fielding,

352
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: and base running value are all amazing. And you might

353
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: be saying, Derek, why would you take a guy who's

354
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: a gold glove shortstop and move him to second base?

355
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: And I'm not advocating for that right now, but in

356
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: a couple of years, if you got Arias as a

357
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: super prospect knocking on the door, this is why armstrength

358
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: thirtieth percentile. Now, he made a great throw today, but

359
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: imagine what this kind of range would do at second base,

360
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: Yankees would have the best middle infield in baseball in baseball,

361
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: so and and by then he's gonna be an even

362
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: better hitter. So I look at these numbers. He's looking great.

363
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: He's looking great, and you see spraying the ball all

364
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: over the field this year. I'm gonna look up what

365
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Roderick Arius is doing this year because he's a guy

366
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: that the Yankees signed as a international prospect. And I'm

367
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: go ahead and share the screen here. He's off to

368
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: a slow start. He's hitting two h two, but he's

369
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury last year. You see, he

370
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: had a four to twenty three on base percentage in

371
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: his first real taste of baseball the year before that

372
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: three seventy nine, despite hitting one ninety four. He's got

373
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: to start hitting a little bit more. And the hit

374
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: tool is there. But he's supposedly like god level defender,

375
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: like Gold Glove caliber defender with a great arm. He

376
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: walks a ton, so he's got a great eye. He's

377
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: got like one of those Juan Soto type of just

378
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: naturally great plate vision, but he's not he's not turning

379
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 1: it into hits yet. He does have twenty three hits

380
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: this year, four doubles, three triples, two homers, got seven

381
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: stolen bases. So he's got some speed. But he's still

382
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: nineteen years old, guys, So a couple of years when

383
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: he's like twenty one, twenty two years old, I think

384
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be knocking at the door. I really do.

385
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna move quickly. And at that

386
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: point I think, you know, you got to consider Vopie

387
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: for second base. But I don't want second base to

388
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: be blocked by Glaber Torres. I'm sorry, but anyway, great

389
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: game for the Yankees, great series. I did not expect

390
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: to do a show today here, you got to, you

391
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: got it. Avilio says, what Cottonhead's gonna ruin the shortstop spot?

392
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, now, get dumb, fucking idiot. Obviously Volpe's

393
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: the shortstop. I'm not talking about changing it. Now. We're

394
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: talking about Labor Torres in context. Whether you want to

395
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: re sign Labor Torres, and I don't personally think the

396
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: Yankees will, because I think they want to keep that

397
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,959
Speaker 1: second base spot open for either Volpi or rhetoric Arius

398
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: or somebody. The only reason we would move the only

399
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: reason we would even consider moving Volpi is the arm.

400
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: You know, the arm is still bottom third of the league.

401
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: So you know, cottonhead fuck you. Oh my goodness, is

402
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: he says, let's trade for Tanner Scott. I'm not really

403
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: sure what he's doing this year. Let's take a look

404
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: at Tanner Scott. Let's see here, Tanner Scott, left handed

405
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: pitcher with the Marlins. Marlins are having a fire sales

406
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: so I could see it happen. Fourteen innings, fifteen strikeouts,

407
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: two point five seven e r A. Anyway, all right, guys,

408
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: let's go ahead and give out the belt. I didn't

409
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: give out the belt yet, but we're saving it for last.

410
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead, and well, first of all, we gotta

411
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: do Yankees win. We're all out of whack today, all

412
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: out of order. All right, let's go ahead and give

413
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: out the belt. I've actually got co belts today, decided.

414
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Jose Travino and Louisia. Louisia with another fantastic start, Jose

415
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: Travino with two home runs, and ladies and gentlemen, that

416
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: is that. Thanks so much for tuning in on Mother's Day.
