1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Going to pook. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 2: It's all. 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,639 Speaker 1: How's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back, Welcome back. Tuesday, 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: June third, and Pinstripes are back on the menu. The 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: Yankees are back from a road trip. All things considered, 6 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,159 Speaker 1: the road trip was a success six and three, but 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: you lost two out of three to the defending champion. 8 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: I hate to say that, La Dodgers. You did get 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: to yam Modo in the final game, but the other 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: big loss was Luke Weaver, who is gonna be out 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: for four to six weeks. We'll talk more about him 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: in just a minute, but first I want to go 13 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: through tonight's lineup because we do have some guys coming back. 14 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: So we got Trent Grisham at the top of the 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: lineup tonight hitting lead off. You'll notice Jason Dominguez still 16 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: out of the lineup with the thumb injury. Ben Rice 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: batting second. He is your DH tonight. Enjoy it while 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: you can. We don't know how much he's gonna get 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: to play when John Carlos Danton comes back. A lot 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: of us have been worried about this for a while now. 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge in right field, he caught fire in La 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: and he has twenty one home runs and fifty yrb 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: eyes I believe, and he's still hitting almost four hundred. 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: So monster another planet kind of season for Aaron Judge. 25 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger playing left field tonight. He needs to get 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: it going. He's kind of cooled off a little bit 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: after his hitting streak. Paul Goldschmid at first base. Mister 28 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: reliable Goldie knocks Jazz Chisholm back in there at third base. 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Jazz. 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 4: You like Joe. 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: He's in there at third base, which I find interesting 32 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: because he had played only second base up to this 33 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: point in the season, and Anthony Volpi at shortstop. J 34 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: c Escara behind the dish tonight, you get the night 35 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: off from or for Austin Wells. DJ Lemayhew in there 36 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: at second base. He had four hits the other day, 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: so maybe he's coming around. And Carlos ro Don, who 38 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: has been absolutely lights out, will be towing the slab tonight. 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: So Luke Weaver being out four to six weeks is 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: a huge deal. There's no way to spin it as 41 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: anything other than devastating blow. But I am a glass 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: half full kind of guy, so I'm gonna look at 43 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: the bright side one. It's not an elbow, it's not 44 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: a forearm, it's not a shoulder or a cranky back. 45 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: Hamstrings get pulled in baseball, even by pitchers. We saw 46 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: it happen to Phil Hughes in the second major league 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: start when he was throwing a no hitter. Part of 48 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: my book that I'm working on that I just went 49 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: down memory lane. But he'll be fine. We've got hamstrings 50 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: figured out, okay. He'll be getting a mid season break. 51 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: He'll probably be back after the All Star Game. He'll 52 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: probably be selected as an All Star and then replaced 53 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: so that you know his season can be recognized, but 54 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: then you can also get somebody else onto the All 55 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: Star team. That would be what I would suspect would happen. 56 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: But the rest of us, we're gonna stop on toms 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: because we don't know who's gonna be getting the ball 58 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: in the ninth inning. It could be Devin Williams again, 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: we could be going to Mark Lyder, who's been okay. 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: Could be Fernando Cruz, but I see him as more 61 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: of a middle relief guy, high leverage, but middle relief. 62 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see what the Yankees 63 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: decide to do. We got to call about a potential 64 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: replacement here. 65 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: Hee there, here's what you think of the Yankees getting 66 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals. I think the Cardinals are 67 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 4: gonna be sellers, so the trade the line. I knows 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: a Brazer's favorite to Limpton, but I think he's like 69 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: the arm that the Bulten really needs. You know, he's 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 4: he has a three year ARRA, but he'll be fine. 71 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 4: Uh still fairly like mid season, not mid season yet. 72 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 3: All right, let's take a look at Ryan Helsey. One. 73 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: I don't think that the Cardinals are gonna deal him. 74 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna break it down. I mean, 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: the Cards are thirty three and twenty six, they're having. 76 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: A good year. 77 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: They're only four games back in the ANL Central. If anything, 78 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: I would think they'll be buyers. 79 00:03:59,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: Maybe we can get him. 80 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: Take John Carlos Stanton, Remember they wanted him, but twenty 81 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: one twenty three strikeouts. He would certainly be a great 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: fit if he were available, But I strongly suspect he 83 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: is not available. One thing that does interest me is 84 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: that you did see some guys get promoted in the 85 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: minor leagues today, Cam Schlittler got promoted to Triple A 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: and Carlos Lagrange got promoted to Double A, and it 87 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: coincided with this great voicemail that we got. 88 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 4: Hee, Derek, I was just wondering, are the recent Yankees 89 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: minor league promotions related to Luke Weaver's injury. 90 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: I don't think so, okay, because one, Cam Schlittler is 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: a starting pitcher. I think it's just a matter of 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: getting him some more reps. He's got a great fastball. 93 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: He six foot six, just a big, tall, strong kid, 94 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: good command. Carlos Lagrange is a guy who throws high 95 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: octane gas. This could be interesting. He it would be 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: somebody that if he dominates in Double A the way 97 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: he pitched in Low A in terms of strikeout numbers. 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: And I'll pull up his his numbers here in the 99 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: minor leagues, he had sixty four strikeouts in forty one 100 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: and two thirds innings and he has been promoted six 101 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: foot seven hundred and ninety five pounds, twenty two years old. 102 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: Kind of looks like a gigantic version of Davy Garcia. 103 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: You guys remember him. David Garcia pitched in the twenty 104 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: twenty season but Lagrange, while he's a starting pitcher, he 105 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: could be somebody that, like Joba Chamberlain, or like some 106 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: of these other guys that you've seen get to the 107 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: major leagues as starting pitchers, could pitch out of the 108 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: bullpen right away. Clayton Beeter was one of those guys. 109 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: You know, he's a starting pitcher in the minor leagues. 110 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: He gets in the major leagues, they use him in relief. Lagrange. 111 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it's correlated to the injury to Luke Weaver, 112 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: but it's something to keep an eye on because if 113 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: they need a high leverage, high octane arm, this guy 114 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: who throws one hundred one hundred one, So keep an 115 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: eye on that. 116 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: All right. 117 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the pitching matchups, all right. So Tanner 118 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: Biby gets the start tonight. He is four and five 119 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: with a three point eighty six ERA. He beat the 120 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: Yankees earlier this year. He went six innings and gave 121 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: up two runs. Carlos Rodin, though, has been a beast, 122 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: a monster otherworldly. Some ancient astronaut theorists might say. Carlos 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: Rodin is seven and three with a two point six 124 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: zero ERA. He has completely turned the corner. He has 125 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: completely won me over. I know he's completely won a 126 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: lot of Yankees fans over, not just with the way 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: he's been pitching, but the resilience, the change in attitude, 128 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: the decision to get in shape and to be the 129 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: guy that the Yankees thought, quite frankly, they were paying 130 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty one million dollars to. He has 131 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: become an absolute beast, and I am excited to see 132 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: him pitch in the pinstripes tonight. Luis Ortiz on the 133 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: mound tomorrow for the Guardians two and six four point 134 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: four zero e R versus Clark Schmidt coming off of 135 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: six shutout innings against the Angels. Clark Schmid is two 136 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: and two with a three point nine to five ERA, 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: and then in Game three, Slade secone one in one 138 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: with a five point two eight ERA versus Max Freed, 139 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: who just took his first l as a Yankee against 140 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers the other night. So, hey, I like our 141 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: chances to win at least two out. 142 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: Of three here. 143 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: Although you know, even though we appears that we have 144 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: the pitching matchups in our favor, it doesn't always work 145 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: that way, you know. So I thought we had the 146 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: pitching matchups against LA two. All right, let's talk about 147 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: who's hot who's not? Is it just me or his 148 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge just been a permanent staple in the who's 149 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: hot category all year long. Over the last ten games, 150 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: his average actually is more normal. It's three thirty three, 151 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: but five home runs in that time frame and six 152 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: RBIs ten runs scored, so he's averaging a run scored 153 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: per game. We got a call. This is from Steve 154 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: who wants to talk a little Aaron Judge. 155 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Hi, Derek, Steve calling from Maine. Got a question 156 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 4: for you regarding your who you give the belts to 157 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: each night after each win. I don't understand. If Judge 158 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: is such a great clutch shitter, and I contend he 159 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: is not, why has he only got four belts? I mean, 160 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: doesn't the belt represent the player who most had the 161 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: greatest influence. 162 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 3: On the game. 163 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 4: I love Aaron Judge. He's a great player, but he 164 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 4: hasn't learned to relax in important situations. 165 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: Sorry, sorry, man, just a bit outside aside. So just 166 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: going back to the inception of the belt. We do 167 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: have stats here now. He may not be leading the 168 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: team in belt wins this year, but all time, you know, 169 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: we think of John Carlos Stanton as mister Clutch. John 170 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton has twenty three belts, Aaron Judge has fifty, 171 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: and Aaron Judge is in first place, John Carlo is 172 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: in second, Garrett Cole is third, Juan Soto is fourth. 173 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: This is all time. Carlos Rodin is fifth with sixteen. 174 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: I mean, Judge has fifty fifty, that's more than twice 175 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: as many as the number two guy. So I think 176 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 1: if we're if we're relying on the super scientific status 177 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: and study on who Derek gives the belt to, I 178 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: think for sure Aaron Judge is clutch. Wow, what about 179 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: all right? Paul Goldschmidt last ten games hitting three h eight, 180 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: one home run, three RBIs you know, he's a guy 181 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: that has been just consistent day in and day out. 182 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 3: He hasn't gone on one of. 183 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: Those tears with home runs or doubles or you know, 184 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: extra base power. Yet it seems like he's hitting a 185 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: lot of singles. And you know what, I'm fine with it. 186 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: I'm fine on a cut down swing. A guy who 187 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: just gets on base, drives in runs, you know, plays 188 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: good defense, Paul Goldschmidt having a great first year as 189 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: a Yankee. We'll see if it's his only year. I 190 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: suspect it will be. I suspect when I do my 191 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 1: five Yankees who won't be back later this year despite 192 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: having an excellent season, he'll probably be on the list 193 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: because I suspect the Yankees will go with Ben Rice 194 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: next year. Who's not Trent Grisham last ten games hitting 195 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: two oh five. He did hit the home run in 196 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: LA just for RBIs and Cody Bellinger after his hot stretch. 197 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,719 Speaker 1: Is down to two twenty nine in the last ten 198 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: games with one home run and for RBIs. So that's 199 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: who's hot who's not. Let's talk a little bit about 200 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: our predictions. 201 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 3: Shall we lose the no Stra Derek prediction tonight? Mister 202 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: Ben Rice. 203 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: Who actually hit a whole run off of Tanner Bybee 204 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: the last time we faced him. I think he will 205 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: hit another home run tonight. The home run that he 206 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: hit in LA had to feel great. I mean the 207 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: crisp sound. There are only a few people that I've 208 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: heard that when they hit the ball, like when they 209 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: really square it up, it makes that kind of noise, 210 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: you know. John Carlos Stanton and Aaron Judge are two 211 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: of them. Ben Rice is in that category. Ronald Lacunya 212 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: shoheyo tani like that kind of crisp sound coming off 213 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: the bat. You know, I don't know what he has 214 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: done to make his swing so efficient and so crisp, 215 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: but when he hits it, they stay hit. We got 216 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: a comment here, David Paiez says, people who say Judge 217 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: is not clutch because he struggles on the posseason don't 218 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: realize we would miss out on the postseason almost yearly 219 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: if he got replaced by a league average player. 220 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 3: He's carried this team the last several years. 221 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: The Yankee guy says, Wow, good thing that we have 222 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: Mark Lighter and Devin Williams to close games for us out. 223 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: Hey, I think we'll be okay. I think we'll be okay. 224 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: Hey, quick word from the guys at foul Territory about 225 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: Rowback and then back with your reactions.

If you're a golfer, especially and you're looking 230 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: for golf shirts that just have the perfect style and 231 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: also are soft. They're lightweight and perfect for the summertime. 232 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 2: Rowback is the spot. Of course. FT's hooking you up 233 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: with the code for twenty percent off at rowback dot com. 234 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: That's foul on r HO BA c K dot com 235 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: for twenty percent off all shorts, hoodies, polos and more. 236 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 3: All right, here you go Rowback. 237 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Appreciate it, appreciate it, and as Laurie says in the chat, 238 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: like and subscribe. He's also predicting a DJ home run. Look, 239 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: the four hits the other day were pretty surprising to me. 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: They weren't exactly raked, you know, but you'll take it. 241 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: You'll take base knocks every day of the week from him. Also, 242 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: I wanted to take a little look at Cam Schlitler, 243 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: who got promoted to Triple A. He's now just one 244 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,719 Speaker 1: injury away from the major league rotation, having a phenomenal 245 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: season in Double A. He is twenty four years old, 246 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: but six foot six, two hundred and twenty five pounds. 247 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: He's made nine starts. He's pitched one game in relief, 248 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,439 Speaker 1: four and five record, but with a two point three 249 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: to eight ERA, so not a lot of run support. 250 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: Look at a strikeouts sixty four strikeouts in fifty three 251 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,239 Speaker 1: and a third innings one point. 252 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: Two to one whip. 253 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take a look at his game 254 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: logs if they have him yep, so you can see 255 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: his last time out he went five shutty. That was 256 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: against Arkansas, and then time before that four and a third, 257 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 1: two runs, six shutty before that. Looks like he's had 258 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: a couple of starts where he allowed four earned runs, 259 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: but he's also had some really good ones. He had 260 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: seven shutout in on April twenty fourth. I mean, this 261 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: is a guy who really impressed me in spring training 262 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: so much that I made like a player real for him, 263 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: and I got everything ready because I thought there was 264 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: an outside chance that he could make the rotation. 265 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 3: They gave him a. 266 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: Few starts and it seemed like they were taking a really, 267 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: really close look at him. So you know, Orlando says, 268 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: these next four to six weeks will either make or 269 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: break Devin Williams. I one hundred percent agree. He's either 270 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: going to get a second chance and do better or 271 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: he is going to flop even harder. And if he does, 272 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: I'd imagine he could be one of the guys that 273 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: gets traded. So Ricardos's prediction is Devin gets no high 274 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: blood pressure save. Unfortunately, I kind of agree. I wouldn't 275 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: put him in with less than three or four runs. 276 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: Even three runs is suspect unless you're playing like in 277 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, we play the Angels again. Although 278 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: the Angels hit him last time, didn't they we were 279 00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: up by three? Yeah, I mean, is there any team 280 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: bad enough? I mean, we play Baltimore, we played the Athletics. 281 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at who we play while while Luke weavers out, 282 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: So you're not gonna use him in the ninth inning 283 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: against Cleveland or Boston. Maybe KC, Probably not LA. I mean, 284 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: I'd have a tough time trusting him after that last performance. 285 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Baltimore maybe they're bad. Cincinnati, they're no good. The Athletics, 286 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: maybe you might see him get a couple of low 287 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: leverage spots. They're probably circling on the calendar right now 288 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: for days where they could slot him in in the 289 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: ninth inning, you know, knowing how the Yankees look ahead 290 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: of things, so Virtual says, I always hate to see 291 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: guys getting hurt. Big problem with Dodgers pitching obviously makes 292 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: you wonder what's going wrong. Well, I mean it's almost 293 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: like professional athletics is difficult, right, I mean, guys get 294 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: hurt every year, and every year we talk about how 295 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: many more guys are getting hurt. It's because every year 296 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: these athletes push themselves further and further. They raise the 297 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: bar higher and higher, higher and higher. They're trying to 298 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: chase velocity, they're trying to chase spin rate. They're trying 299 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: to do things that are unnatural for the human body. Hell, 300 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: throwing a baseball is an unnatural motion for the human body. 301 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: Laurie c says it's make or break time for Devin Williams. 302 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: That it is that it is. 303 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: All right. 304 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: So that's where we're at again. Jason Dominguez still out 305 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: of the lineup with a bruised thumb. I would expect 306 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: to see him back at some point this week, but 307 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: they're obviously being cautious. If he's not on the il, 308 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: they obviously don't think it's going to be a week 309 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: or more. Otherwise you just go ahead and put him 310 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: on the al and use the roster spot. Also, he 311 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: does have some value running, like pinch running, so I 312 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: would look for him to, you know, possibly be an 313 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: option to pinchron just maybe wearing both mits, both Oven 314 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: mits this time. But yeah, I feel good about this series. 315 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: You know, the pitching matchups definitely seem to favor us. 316 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: If the Yankees win two out of three in this 317 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: series and two out of three against Austin, that's four 318 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: out of six. I think you sign up for that. 319 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: I think you sign up for four out of six. 320 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: At this point, the Yankees are probably gonna make the playoffs. 321 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't look like the East is very 322 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,479 Speaker 1: difficult at all. If you can just kind of, you know, 323 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: avoid that big slump in the middle of the summer, 324 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: you should be able to win ninety five ninety six games, 325 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: have every bit of chance to be the home field 326 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: advantage in the American League, although the Tigers are gonna 327 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: be difficult there. But you know, maybe that that Al 328 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: Central will beat up on each other a little bit, 329 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: you know, and you never know what happens. 330 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 3: Guys get hurt, guys get traded, things like that.
