1
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: He's going to talk at all.

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: How's it going everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. Yankees kick

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: off a series today with the Padres, weather permitting, expecting

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: some rain in the Bronx over the next few days.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: I do have some good news if you're a fan

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: of Yankees' prospects. George Lombard Junior, who has been playing very,

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: very well at High A, has been promoted to Double A.

8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: Reminder that he's just nineteen years old, so I wouldn't

9
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 2: expect him in the major leagues right away. I'd imagine

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: that he's gonna be at Double A for most of

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. But if he does tear

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: it up at Double A, which a lot of people

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: think he will, you might see him get to Triple

14
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: A by the end of the year, and then he's

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: gonna have a real shot to be in the Yankees

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: infield next season, whether it's at shortstop, whether it's at

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: second base, whether it's at third base. I don't think

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: they gonna move Anthony Volpi off of shortstop, although a

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: lot of people, myself included, have said for years that

20
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: Volpi would probably be more equipped to be a second

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: baseman just given his body type, his arm strength. He

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: does have some range. I think up the middle that

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: would be a great combination. I know there's a lot

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: of Jazz Chisholm fans out there. He is under contract

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: next season. I don't think the Yankees are gonna deal him.

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: They like that left handed power at Yankee Stadium. So

27
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: we'll see how it all shakes out. But I'm excited

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: to see how Lombard does at the next level. So

29
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: in today's episode, I'm gonna take a few voicemails, then

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: we're gonna run the sponsor, and then I've got about

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 2: a thirty minute conversation with Kyle Glazer, who hosts Friar Territory,

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: and he's gonna kind of fill us in on what

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: we're looking at with this Padre series. We kind of

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: go back on the State of the Yankees a little bit.

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: It's a crossover episode, so it was kind of built

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: to be applicable to his show as well, So he's

37
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: gonna be running this interview on Friar Territory also. But

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: it was a good conversation. So let's go ahead and

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: get to the voicemails. We've got four voicemails this morning.

40
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh Derek.

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: This is Jay. I'm a big fan of your channel.

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: What you do ever since game back to inland Light.

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: Recaps, which is now a Hingstrick territory, hopefully very well

44
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: and I hope this is showing your next video or

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: live stream.

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: Wish I got to say, man.

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: This lineup, I end the pitching like let alone with

48
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: Carrasco and Will Warren. How do you employ Carlos Carrasco

49
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty five?

50
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 4: I mean, his nickname is.

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: Cookie, I mean, and he's living up to his nickname.

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: So far, because all he does is give up cookies.

53
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 5: Well, Warren is just not right.

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: He's just not ready. I'd rather have maybe someone like oh,

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe like Ben hasf like you mentioned before,

56
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: I guess, or just someone like by the way, I

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: know you've mentioned mentioned Lancelint in your live stream, but

58
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: he's retired, so yeah, I don't even know if I

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: want lanceline. But yeah, and it's not even that we lost,

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 3: so that's just how we replaced him. I know Bellinger

61
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 3: went deep, but he's still hitting two oh two.

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: He's been awful.

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger, who's not even just thirty yet already washed

64
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: Cody Belnder's twenty nine years old and he's washed. I mean,

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: my god, I don't know what the hell Cashman was

66
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 3: doing this offseason to help with this offense and the pitching.

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: I mean, granted, we did not think Cole will get

68
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: Tommy john sterby, but yeah, this has been awful, and

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 3: you know, and Devin Wone's been absolute train wreck at

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 3: the closer. Lookiver is the closer in mydini. Obviously he's

71
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: done a great job of that. But yeah, I gotta

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: get together because kan Diego is not gonna be easy for.

73
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: You appreciate it. Yeah, So, looking at Cody Bellinger, I

74
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: disagree with the assertion that he is washed. He's off

75
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 2: to a slow start, for sure, but you look at

76
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: the defensive value, you look at the speed. He's still

77
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: a good baseball player. He's just off to a bit

78
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: of a slow start offensively, doesn't have a ton of

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: hits yet. He's only got twenty two hits in his

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: first one hundred and ten at bats. He has hit

81
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: four home runs. He's not the same kind of power

82
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 2: hitter that he once was. He had eighteen last year.

83
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: I think you sign up for twenty to twenty five

84
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: this year. But you want better than a two hundred

85
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: average and definitely better than a two to seventy six

86
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: on base percentage when you consider that he's making over

87
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: twenty million dollars per year. The bat speed is down

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: to the twenty ninth percentile, not what you want. But

89
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: he's been pretty good at avoiding strikeouts. He's in the

90
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: fifty fifth percentile. He's been decent at drawing walks. You

91
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: just want him to put together a good streak and

92
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: get feeling good and hopefully he can regain that momentum

93
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: that he had during spring training. Now I talk to

94
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 2: somebody on Twitter or ex whatever you want to call

95
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: it these days, about Bellinger's spring training, and they said, well,

96
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: you know, you can pretty much discount anything you see

97
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: in spring training, and you know, I'm familiar with spring training.

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you can discount all stats that

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 2: you see in spring training. But just using your eye test,

100
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: in spring, he looked athletic. His swing looked shorter than

101
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: it is now it looks like it's gotten loopy. Maybe

102
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: pitchers are pitching him a little bit differently, but you know,

103
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: from what I saw, I saw a guy who looked

104
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: like he was going to have a big year and

105
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: maybe left it in Tampa a little bit, and now

106
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 2: he's slumping at the wrong time. But you know, as

107
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 2: the weather heats up, maybe SODA's Bellinger. I've got a

108
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: couple of calls here about Aaron Boone.

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: Derek has called your line multiple times, and you've played

110
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 5: some of my voicemails. But I've called several times to

111
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 5: make the same point, and I'll continue to make it

112
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 5: until it's not true anymore. The Yankees will never win

113
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 5: a World Series with Aaron Boone as the manager. He

114
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: cost them games all the time. It was obvious in

115
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 5: the playoffs, it was obvious they're in the regular season.

116
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 5: Last year, in the year before when he kept insisting

117
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 5: on keeping Holmes as the closer and it cost us

118
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 5: all those games. And this year, I mean, today's game

119
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 5: was just the perfect example. You're trying to win to

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 5: you're trying to win the series, and for no reason whatsoever,

121
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 5: they hit Rice.

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 6: He sits Wells and then he doesn't even with the

123
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 6: basis loaded, he doesn't even pinch it either one of

124
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 6: them for Escara, and then he pinched it for them

125
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 6: after I mean, he puts Escara on third base, like,

126
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 6: what kind of garbage is said?

127
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 5: What kind of I appreciate the call.

128
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: So yesterday I think was Boone's worst managed game of

129
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 2: the season. I agree with everything that you said. He

130
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: had some excuses after the game, and you know, I

131
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: honestly don't even remember what they were because they kind

132
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: of went in one ear and out the other, like

133
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: most of the things that Aaron Boone says. I've never

134
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: been a huge Boon guy, but I also think that

135
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: the Yankees could win the World Series with Boone as

136
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: a managers. It comes down to, you know, how everyone

137
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: plays on the field. If you get great pitching and

138
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: you get timely hitting, anyone can beat anyone on any

139
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: given day. My quality has been more with his management

140
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: of the bullpen, you know, lighter in big spots, you know,

141
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: sticking with Holmes way too long last year. And then

142
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: you know, I'm glad that he saw the light and

143
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: got Devin Williams out of there in April this year

144
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: or whether it was early May, I can remember the

145
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: exact day that the decision was made. But getting Williams

146
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: out of that closer role and letting Luke Weaver take

147
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: back over, I think was a positive move. But you're right,

148
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: he's got his problems, as you know, as a manager,

149
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: and they need to be addressed.

150
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: What's going on? Derek calling in for the Monday morning

151
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: Willischmow Show. I'm not usually one to get on Boone

152
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: that much. I know he as just was. But this

153
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 4: series here, specifically Game three against the Rays, jac score

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 4: basis loaded late in the game. I don't know where

155
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 4: Alstin Wells is there. I'm not too sure why they

156
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 4: don't pinch hit him, and then they pinch hit Ben

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: Rice for as well though after and then that just

158
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: messes things up and makes the score. I have to

159
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: go at a third base like what. I'm just so

160
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 4: confused by Rice wasn't in that game?

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent that that was a move that

162
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: perplexed a lot of people yesterday Jay c Scar playing

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: third base? What what? I don't know?

164
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 7: I don't know.

165
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like these moves aren't very thought out.

166
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Hey, Derek Commer from New Jersey Again, I don't know

167
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 1: if you saw my comment on your YouTube video last

168
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: night your podcast, By my god, you were absolutely correct

169
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: about will warn and cooked Carrasco for you to go

170
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: if the organization doesn't get rid of them, just use

171
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: them as mop up blowout long believers. At this point,

172
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: Warren is another bust. Carrasco has been finished for like

173
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: five years now. I mean, I don't know a fourteen

174
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: that waves about being a class wal getzation and only

175
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: obtaining the best. It seems like the last couple of

176
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: years they get complacent with Hasby. He's Josh Donaldson Corossco

177
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: now and DJ Lemayhew after he got his big contract.

178
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: It's been awful. Like, I don't know what we're gonna do.

179
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: But if I were them, I would call the Marlins

180
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 1: right now. They listen, you treated a live last year

181
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: early in the season, please do the same with us.

182
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: For Alcontra, we'll give up literally anything right now.

183
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 2: I don't think that they're going to give up anything.

184
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: I think that's the problem. There's a lot of teams

185
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: that want al Contra. I think they'd have better luck

186
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: going after somebody who's maybe not as saw it after

187
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: because he doesn't have quite the fastball that Alcantra has.

188
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: I think Pablo Lopez is the guy. Our friend TK

189
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: suggested bringing Louis Severino back. I don't hate that move.

190
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: He's pitched in New York before. He obviously liked it there.

191
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that the Yankees want to bring him back.

192
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 2: I feel like there was some things, you know, with

193
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: how some of his injuries went and how his recovery

194
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: was slow, and he wasn't necessarily one hundred percent forthright

195
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: with them on some things. I think that kind of

196
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: created a sour taste in the Yankees' mouth. But you're right,

197
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 2: we need pitching. Can't keep running Carrasco out there, can't

198
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: keep running Warren out there. And I don't know what

199
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 2: the solution is right now, but it's got to be something,

200
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: all right. So we're gonna have a quick one minute

201
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: ad and then i'll be back with the conversation with Kyle.

202
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 2: It lasts about thirty minutes, and then we'll be back

203
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: after the game tonight.

204
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 8: If you want to be bougie and have your own

205
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 8: personal shopper, Hungry Root is actually the spot, and you

206
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 8: can do it at an affordable price.

207
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, without a doubt. And especially with my busy schedule

208
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 7: with kids on the run all the time, baseball, gymnastics,

209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 7: I need a source that's gonna get me going and

210
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 7: my kids as well. So I'll pop in an easy

211
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 7: chicken palm or grilled chicken, put it in a nice container,

212
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 7: get it to go, and the kids are excited and

213
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 7: they're full, and theyre newtritional, and it's ready to rock

214
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 7: for their games.

215
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 8: There will be snacks that you have never heard of

216
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 8: that you will immediately fall in love with. They will

217

Speaker 8: can go on there. You pick all of your preferences.

227
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: All right, So Kyle, tell me a little bit about

228
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: this gauntlet that the Yankees are going to have to

229
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: go through the next few days. Obviously, you guys are

230
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: in a very tough division, but holding your own. And

231
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: you know Michael King, We're very familiar with him. I

232
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: see Dylan Cees is pitching in this series. Nick Pavet

233
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: is off to a good start. I see the MVP

234
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: possible season here for Tattoos, so kind of catch me

235
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: up on how everybody's doing.

236
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 9: Look, the Potters are rolling right now. They've won five straight.

237
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 9: They swept their last two series against the Giants and Pirates,

238
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 9: and for the most part this season, it's been the

239
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 9: same story of just utter dominance from the pitching staff

240
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 9: and the offense doing enough to score and just help

241
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 9: give these guys enough support. They don't need a lot

242
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 9: With how good the starting rotation and especially the bullpen

243
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 9: has been. Baneto Tattis Junior is playing at an MVP level.

244
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 9: What we've seen from him this year is he's just

245
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 9: improved as a pure hitter. He's always been exciting with power, speed,

246
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 9: great defense and right field, but he made an adjustment

247
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 9: to move a little bit further back in the box

248
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 9: and that extra fraction of a second that's helping him

249
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 9: track pitches deeper. His pitch recognition has improved. He's able to,

250
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 9: you know, really lay off some of the same pitches

251
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 9: he used to chase out of the zone. And he's

252
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 9: been hitting three, forty, three, fifty pretty much the entire

253
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 9: year so far, and we're not seeing him chase the

254
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 9: Really it is the secondary stuff off the edges of

255
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 9: the plate. So you take a superstar who's cut his

256
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 9: strikeout rate, increased his walk rate. He's been really the

257
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 9: heart and soul of this team offensively, and as I mentioned,

258
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 9: the pitching staff, the bullpen especially has been dominant. That's

259
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 9: been their formulas. Score four or five runs a game,

260
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 9: hands it over to the bullpen and they'll take care

261
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 9: of the rest.

262
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: How's Michael King looked? Our old friend? Obviously, we call

263
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 2: that the Trent Grisham trade. Now, by the way, I

264
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: wasn't sure if you're familiar with that. We call that

265
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: the Trent Grisham trade because Grisham's tearing the cover off

266
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: the ball and so so it is no longer a

267
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: part of the team, obviously, But yeah, what can we

268
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 2: look forward to from mister King?

269
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 9: Michael King has been utterly dominant again one Soto did

270
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 9: everything the Yankees wanted and more last year. As you mentioned,

271
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 9: Trent Grisham's tearing the cover off the ball. But Potters

272
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 9: fans don't in any way, shape or form, or the

273
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 9: Potter's organization for that matter, doesn't feel in any way,

274
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 9: shape or form like they lost out just because Michael

275
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 9: King has been so good for them since he came over.

276
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 9: He's really pitched like a number one. He was top

277
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 9: ten and NL SIG Award voting last year, and he's

278
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 9: doing the same thing again this year pitching with the

279
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 9: sub three. The biggest thing with Michael King is just

280
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 9: he's got all his stuff moving exactly how he wants it.

281
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 9: You'll remember from his days with the Yankees, there's a

282
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 9: lot of natural movement, a lot of natural sink then

283
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 9: come back with that slider. But everything right now, I

284
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 9: mean nothing is straight and actually confounding batters. His arsenal

285
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 9: from top to bottom has been good. He's got a

286
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 9: four steamer that's moving well. At the top of his

287
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 9: own has chained, has been really good. At the bottom

288
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 9: of his zone, he's got pitches that can move northwest,

289
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 9: east south, and I mean hitters have been confounded at one.

290
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 9: He's in the strikes, on which he is more often

291
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 9: than not, he's dominating. And what's been impressive with him too,

292
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 9: is we've seen him have some really efficient outings. He

293
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 9: pitched his first career complete game week go against the Rocky.

294
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 9: He's been pitching deeper, you know, seventh innings, et cetera.

295
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 9: He has really taken the next step and transformed himself

296
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 9: into a bona fide as he's showing last year was

297
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 9: not a fluke.

298
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: Is there any chance that you guys resign him? I mean,

299
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: is there any anything in the wind out there? I mean,

300
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: I know that he wants to hit free agency. We

301
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 2: see what pitchers get paid these days. Speaking which to

302
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: talk about Nick Pavetta's contract, because that guy is looking

303
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: like a deal right now. But is there any chance

304
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: that you know, he reups with the padres From what

305
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: you're hearing.

306
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 9: There's always a chance he did sign a deal for

307
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 9: this year that includes a mutual option for next year.

308
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 9: That said, with the way he's pitching, he is going

309
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 9: to get paid like an ace. We're talking that two

310
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 9: hundred million dollar contract range if he keeps doing what

311
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 9: he's doing, so in all likelihood he will opt out

312
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 9: after this year, and that's going to be up to

313
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 9: the pod race with the package that is comparable to

314
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 9: what other teams are at are offering him. But the

315
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 9: level he has attained is now a guy that he

316
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 9: should test the market and likely will test the market,

317
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 9: and he's going to get a lot of money on

318
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 9: the market.

319
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: Tell me about Paveta, He's obviously getting the ball in

320
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: Game one. I saw the four year, fifty five million

321
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: dollar deal. There was a time when four years and

322
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: fifty five million dollars was considered a lot of money.

323
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: I know that may seem strange to some people, but

324
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: you know, in today's mark, I mean, that's a pretty

325
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: good deal for a starting pitcher who is five and

326
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: one with a one point seven eight ERA. Through six starts,

327
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: he's got more than a strikeout, pinning thirty nine strikeouts

328
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: and thirty five and a third. I haven't had a

329
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: chance to watch him pitch yet this year. What am

330
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: I in for?

331
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 9: Utter dominance? The biggest thing with Nick Pavetta is we

332
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 9: have seen him be dominant in stretches during his tenure

333
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 9: with Red Sox. I'm sure you and your watchers will remember,

334
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 9: but he struggled with consistency a lot. The idea behind

335
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 9: signing him was get him to San Diego, where he's

336
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 9: going to pitch in front of a much much, much

337
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 9: better defense than he was in Boston. Get him out

338
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 9: of the Al East and some of those hitter friendly parks.

339
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 9: Put him in the pitcher only parks in the NL West,

340
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 9: and get him with Reuben Dieblo, one of the best

341
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 9: pitching coaches in baseball, and maybe you would see the

342
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 9: stuff starts match falls. He's always had stuff. The strikeout

343
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 9: to walk has always been fine, but the results for

344
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 9: any number of reasons, just hadn't been there. And now

345
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 9: the results are there to be you know, I talk

346
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 9: about Michael King pitching like an ace. Nick Pivetta right

347
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 9: now has been one of the best pitchers in the

348
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 9: National League. Lowest opponents average allowed, lowest whip. He has

349
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 9: been just utterly dominant in every way. And look, it's

350
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 9: the fastball, it's the curveball, but more than anything, it's

351
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 9: the consistency. We would see outings where he'd be, you know,

352
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 9: cruising along and then he'd leave two high fastballs over

353
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 9: the heart of the plate and they'd get crushed for

354
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 9: long home runs. He's not doing that anymore. So really

355
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 9: we are seeing the best perversion, that best version of

356
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 9: Nick Pavetta, and with that we are seeing a true ace.

357
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 9: He's firing on the mound. He has a lot of

358
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 9: emotion out there, but it's all positive emotion. He's not

359
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 9: letting it overwhelm him anymore either. I think right now

360
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 9: you talk about a Michael King Nick Povetta one two,

361
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 9: as crazy as it sounds considering how strong some of

362
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 9: the pitching duos in the National League are right now

363
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 9: statistic that's the best one to two starting pitching duo

364
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 9: in the NL, and they're doing it pretty consistently.

365
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: So in terms of the pitching matchups in this series,

366
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: the one that stands out to me for the Yankees

367
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: that's having the best chance is actually Max Freed versus

368
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: and cease On in Game three. I don't know if

369
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: you had a chance to watch Freed this year. He's

370
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: been lights out. He's often one of the best starts

371
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: I've ever seen of a Yankees free agent pitcher. Usually

372
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: there's some kind of adjustment period, but this guy stepped

373
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: in and just has not messed around at all. What's

374
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: up with Dylan Ceases. I see a five point six

375
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: y one ERA and one and two record. He's still

376
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: got the strikeout numbers, but I see, you know, fifteen walks,

377
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: which is probably too many for thirty three and two

378
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: thirds innings pitch. But is that is that pretty much

379
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 2: at the control.

380
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 9: So it's a little skewed by his last outing. So

381
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 9: what we were seeing from Dylan Ceaes for most of

382
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 9: this season, actually he was getting way too much of

383
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 9: the plate. He was getting hit pretty hard. Again, ball

384
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 9: was in the strike zone, there's plenty of stuff behind it.

385
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 9: He just was getting way too much the plate. Then

386
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 9: his last start against Pittsburgh, he kind of overcorrected and

387
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 9: was avoiding contact a little too much and we saw

388
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 9: him really struggle with walks. Needed ninety pitches plus to

389
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 9: get through four innings. So he's trying to find himself

390
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 9: a little bit. It's something where it's just a command issue. Again,

391
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 9: the stuff has been there. You're still being the same,

392
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 9: you know, kind of you know, flashes of the old

393
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,439
Speaker 9: dominant Dylan Seves who can run it up, you know,

394
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 9: mid nine nineties with a devastating breaking ball, and right

395
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 9: now he was just getting too much to play. Then

396
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 9: he over corrected against Pittsburgh. So he's trying to find

397
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: it a little bit. I do think that that Wednesday matchup,

398
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 9: and again the Yankees are a good team. I think

399
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 9: it's gonna be a competit series all the way around.

400
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 9: But that is the matchup that I think definitely favors

401
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 9: the Yankees the most, just because the Potters have had

402
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 9: a little bit of trouble with left handed stars this year.

403
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 9: They took care of things against Andrewheny today, but on

404
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 9: the whole, lefties have given them trouble. We saw it

405
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 9: was showed at Minauga. Even guys like you know, Matthew

406
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 9: Boyd and even on Saturday Bailey Falter. They're not as

407
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 9: good against lefties as they are righty. So that is

408
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 9: the matchup I'll be watching. I think if you're the Podres,

409
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 9: you feel pretty good going in. I'd also have face

410
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 9: Colos DNA on Monday, So I think that's what I'm

411
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 9: going to be watching because I think the Padres have

412
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 9: the offense that takes care of business against righty's left

413
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 9: us giving them some trouble.

414
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 2: Would it surprise you that Aaron Judge has twenty five

415
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: more hits than the hit machine Luisa Ris Right now,

416
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: that blows my mind at this point. Fifty six hits

417
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: so far for Aaron Judge.

418
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 9: Not really. I mean you have to keep in mind

419
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 9: Arise missed about a week. He had a very scary

420
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 9: collision in Houston where he his body went limp. He

421
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 9: had to be carted off the field, was on the

422
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 9: concussion IL for about a little over a week, So

423
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 9: some of that is he missed time. But Aaron Judge

424
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 9: is performing at a level that is just special, and

425
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 9: I think it's really really important to appreciate greatness. When

426
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 9: you look at what he's done just these last five

427
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 9: seasons twenty one to now, it's a performance in line

428
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 9: with the greatest right handed hirs of all time. You

429
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 9: look at you know, Jimmy Fox and Rogers Hornsey and

430
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 9: Hank Aaron and Willie Mays and even you know, more

431
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 9: recently Albert Pool's Miguel Cabrera. What Judge is doing is

432
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 9: just absolutely phenomenal. And I think from the podres, look,

433
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 9: they're not a team that's going to back down from anyone.

434
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 9: Mike Schilders who preaches aggressiveness, going right at guys, not

435
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 9: backing down. So they're gonna come after Aaron Judge. They're

436
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 9: not gonna pitch around him. They're not gonna, you know,

437
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 9: kind of try to you know, avoid a mistake. They're

438
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 9: gonna come right after him and try and beat him.

439
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 9: That's just in their DNA. But Aaron Judge is someone that, look,

440
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 9: we all know what he can do and the damage

441
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 9: he can cause, and I think everyone is just at

442
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 9: this point just an awe of the level he is

443
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 9: playing at and has been playing out for really five

444
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 9: years now.

445
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: There's a scene in the movie Taken where Liam Neeson

446
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: is telling this guy, I'm gonna come and get you.

447
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 2: I got a very particular set of skills, and the

448
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: guy's just like, good luck, and then hangs up the phone.

449
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. When you're saying we're coming

450
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 2: right after Aaron Judge, good luck, that's all that's I

451
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: gotta say, good luck exactly.

452
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 9: But doesn't want to see right You want to see.

453
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 9: You want to you want to see guys go right

454
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 9: at each other and you know, see what happens. But

455
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 9: there's no question I think if you are the Padres,

456
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 9: he's certainly the guy that you have to be the

457
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 9: most cautious of because of how ridiculously good he is.

458
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 9: And again, hit playing very very well. It's nice to

459
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 9: see have a little bit of a renaissance. You mentioned

460
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: Trent Grisham has been hitting the ball well. I think

461
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 9: from the Potters perspective, where you really really feel good

462
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 9: about your chances. Was your pitching staff against the bottom

463
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 9: half of this lineup. We all know the bottom half

464
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 9: Yankes lineup is just not as dangerous, And I think

465
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,199
Speaker 9: if you're the Podres, given the quality of they're pitching staff,

466
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 9: you feel pretty good that if you can again, you're

467
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 9: never really gonna hold down Aaron Judge or even Paul

468
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 9: gold Schmidt for that long. But if you can limit

469
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 9: the damage by those guys and take care of business

470
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 9: against the bottom of the lineup, they should be they

471
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 9: should be in good shape.

472
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the key is going to be just

473
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: to keep the guys off base in front of Aaron Judge.

474
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: He's going to run into a couple like you know,

475
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: a series basically, that's just kind of how he is.

476
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: He's going to get hits. But if you can keep

477
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: the traffic off of base in front of him, you

478
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: know that's you know, that's the key. But you know

479
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: that's where guys like Grisham and Ben Rice. I'm not

480
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: sure if you had a chance to watch Ben Rice yet,

481
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 2: they're getting pitches to hit because you have to go

482
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: after these guys in front of Judge and Ben Rice

483
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: is just teeing off he's in. I wouldn't say a slump.

484
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: He's had a couple of down games, but if you

485
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: look at the metrics and you look at just some

486
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 2: of the balls he's hit, he's one of the better

487
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 2: left handed hitters that the Yankees have produced in the

488
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: last couple of decades.

489
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 9: Honestly, exactly, No, I mean, Ben Rice has been really

490
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 9: a revelation. Again, a great job by the Yankee scouting staff,

491
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 9: you know, drafting him, developing him, and I think that's

492
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 9: where again you hit the nail on the head of

493
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 9: the Potter is it really is going to be about

494
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 9: keeping guys off base. So when Aaron Judge and I'll

495
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 9: have Paul Goldsman in there as well. Once those guys

496
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 9: come up to the plate, keep traffic off the bases,

497
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 9: and if you can get through them, you'll feel pretty good.

498
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 9: From the Potters perspective too. One of the things that

499
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 9: has been such a key to their success this year

500
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 9: is the bullpen. It's the best bullpen the r in

501
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 9: baseball by more than half a run. But the more

502
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 9: telling statistic just how ridiculously dominant they've been. The Potter's

503
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 9: just played their thirty third game today, Their bullpen has

504
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 9: relinquished a lead once this entire season, and even that

505
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 9: was an inherited runner situation. Back against the Cubs, Audrey

506
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 9: and Morhane came in with first and third and none

507
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 9: out and limited the damage to one run. It just

508
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 9: happened to be the tying run. So from the Padres

509
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 9: perspective and also from the Yankees' perspective, it's not hyperbole

510
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 9: to say if the Padres have a lead and you

511
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 9: get into that bullpen, the game is. That's how dominant

512
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 9: this Podrets bullpen has been. And so I think too,

513
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 9: especially the early innings, if you want to beat the Padres,

514
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 9: you have to jump on their starters, and that's easier

515
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 9: said than done against Michael King and Nick Povetta with

516
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 9: how they've been playing. So I think it's going to

517
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 9: be a really, really, really fun series to watch. Look,

518
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 9: anytime it's the Yankees, it's fun. But I think, just

519
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 9: given you right, how hot some of those guys the

520
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 9: top order have been against the padres best starters, that's

521
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 9: going to be the matchup to me, that's going to

522
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 9: determine the series. Because if the Padreys starters can hold

523
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 9: down the top of the Yankee lineup and get the

524
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 9: ball to the bullpen with the lead, the game is over.

525
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 9: If the top the Yankees lineup is able to jump

526
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 9: on the Potters starters and the Potters have to play

527
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 9: catch up a little bit. And in fairness, the Potters

528
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 9: have had a lot of comeback wins this year, but

529
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 9: their strength is really when they get out early, hand

530
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 9: the ball over to the bullpen, the game is over.

531
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: So in recent years, the Yankees have played kind of

532
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 2: down to their competition, and they've done that in the

533
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 2: last couple of series. They played poorly against the Orioles,

534
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: who hadn't won a series, you know, probably three weeks,

535
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: and then they just lost two out of three to

536
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 2: the to the Rays. But I also feel like they

537
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: play up to their competition a little bit when they're

538
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: playing a team that's hot. That's good. And you know

539
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: the fact that they do have their three best starters

540
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 2: lined up for this series gives me hope that this

541
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: could be kind of a you know a little bit

542
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: of a war. You know, Clark Schmidt had to be

543
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 2: pushed back. He's gonna be starting Game two. He had

544
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of a soreness in his flank. The

545
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: offense right now is weekend where obviously without John Carlo Stanton,

546
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 2: were without Jazz Chisholm. Now we've called up this guy,

547
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: Orbitt Vivas, who you're familiar with. I talked to you

548
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: about him the last time you were on my show

549
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: and you told me how familiar you were with him,

550
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: and I got to say, he needs to wear a

551
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: smaller helmet. It keeps popping off every swing. That's the

552
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: extent of my scouting report on him at this point.

553
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 2: It needs a smaller helmet. But you know, other than that,

554
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: we're just not playing great. You know, Bellinger hit a

555
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: home run today, but he's you know, helving around two

556
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 2: hundred for the year. Gold Schmith's been hot, obviously, he's

557
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: just starting to heat up with the power. He homeward

558
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: in consecutive games this week. Obviously, Judge is always dangerous.

559
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: Wells has been hitting for power, but again he's been

560
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,959
Speaker 2: a little bit unlucky, hitting two eight with a two

561
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: sixty five on base percentage. He hit a couple of

562
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,239
Speaker 2: balls when they played down there in Tampa that got

563
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: knocked down by the wind where if you look at

564
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: like the exit velocity in the launch angle, they're gone

565
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the time, and they both got

566
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 2: knocked down by the wind. Dimingez, if you guys have

567
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: a lefty, throw him against Domingaz because he's about I

568
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 2: don't know, two for thirty five. But from the right

569
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 2: for from the left side, he's dangerous. He hit one

570
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: off the wall today. He's got a great eye from

571
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: both sides of the plate, but he's just a more

572
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: dangerous hitter from the left side. I feel like the

573
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: the batpath is a little work in progress from the

574
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: right side, and you know, Volpi is out right now,

575
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 2: he's day to day. He had a shoulder is she

576
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: kind of came down hard diving for a ball yesterday

577
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: he grimaced. I got flashbacks. So when Derek Jeter hurt

578
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: his shoulder in Toronto that one year, do you remember

579
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: that on Opening Day? Yeah, I had flashbacks. But sounds

580
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: like he's gonna be okay. Mri came out clean and

581
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,719
Speaker 2: the bullpen obviously a little bit upper down. Devin Williams

582
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: had to be removed from the closer role. But Luke Weaver,

583
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: if we if we get a lead late in the game,

584
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: I feel like he's pretty locked down. Fernando Cruz, I'm

585
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: sure you're familiar with him in the National League strikeout Machine.

586
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: I feel like under Matt Blake he's gotten even better.

587
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: Like somehow, I've seen some of the weirdest swings from

588
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 2: major league hitters on his splitter. I mean, he makes

589
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 2: good hitters look goofy when his splitter is working. Probably

590
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 2: won't see much of Mark later. He has not been

591
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: pitching well. Ryan Yarborough pitched four innings in a spot

592
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 2: start the other day, so I'm not sure he maybe

593
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 2: later in the series he gets into a game. Ian

594
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: Hamilton has put up good numbers, but they're kind of

595
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: easing him in because he's had some injury issues. So

596
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: that's kind of the state of the Yanks right now.

597
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you kind of want the scouting

598
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: report of somebody who's unfortunately watched every inning this year.

599
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 9: Well, I think really what's going to come down to

600
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 9: for the Potters is, and you can speak to this

601
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 9: a little bit, is really the left handed starters. As

602
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 9: I mentioned, that is something that has given them trouble.

603
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 9: Max Freed has been exceptional this year, and that's no surprise,

604
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 9: just in the sense that he's been exceptional for years

605
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 9: and years and years and years and by the way,

606
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 9: original Potters draft pick one of the more regrettable trades

607
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 9: of the AJ Coler era. But I think the Carlos

608
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 9: Rodn matchup in the openers gonna be really really interesting

609
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 9: to watch because this will be the Potter's third straight

610
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 9: game facing a lefty starter Bailey's Falter on Saturday, Andrew

611
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 9: Heeney of course on Sunday, and now Carlos Rodon and

612
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 9: the reason the Padres have struggled a little more against

613
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 9: left handed starters and this seems like a very minor

614
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 9: problem in the grand scheme of things, but it is something.

615
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 9: Their right handed platoon options are just less than they're

616
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 9: left handed platoon options. It's kind of a harsh way

617
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 9: to say it, but it's the truth, and they're still

618
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 9: trying to figure some things out. They recently dfa'ed Yuli

619
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 9: Guriel because he wasn't getting the job done. Is the

620
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 9: right handed side of a DH platoon. They brought up

621
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 9: Louis Campusano, but they're much better when Gavin Sheets is

622
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 9: in the lineup as the DH. So i'd be curious

623
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 9: to get your thoughts on Carlos Rodon what you're seeing

624
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,720
Speaker 9: from him this year. Because we all know when he's on,

625
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 9: he's one of the best pictures in baseball. But he's

626
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 9: not always on.

627
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, He's one of these guys that if he controls

628
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: his emotions, I feel like he does a better job.

629
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 2: He comes out, you know, like a bull in a

630
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: China shot right, and a lot of times two innings,

631
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: three innings into the game, he's got seven strikeouts, and

632
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: you're looking up and he's set down nine, ten, eleven

633
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: in a row. But then it falls off quick because

634
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 2: I feel like once he loses that energy, he can

635
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 2: kind of fall off a little bit.

636
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 5: Now.

637
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: Something he's done this year that I'm not sure how

638
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: much of this has infiltrated the baseball world at large.

639
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: He's throwing a much different pitch mix. He's thrown a

640
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: lot more change ups and a lot more sinkers, and

641
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 2: so he's had some more efficient outings recently. He went

642
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: seven shutty a couple of games ago, last time out,

643
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: six innings, two runs, And I feel like he's maybe

644
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: pitching to contact a little bit more, which is interesting

645
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: because he's still getting a ton of strikeouts. What pitching

646
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 2: to well, pitching backwards a little bit, throwing the breaking balls,

647
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: early in the sinkers and stuff early in the count.

648
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 2: Has allowed him to do is to use that high

649
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: fastball later in the account instead of just going high

650
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: fastball for the hole at bat and hoping that you

651
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: eventually win. Right. It's like that boxer that gets in

652
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: there and just throws bombs ever and then just hope

653
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: you eventually knocked the guy out before you run out

654
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: of gas. Kind of been his strategy. But the last

655
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 2: couple of times out he's taken more of like the

656
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: boxers approach. You know, a couple of jabs early, you know,

657
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: maybe go for the upper cut when you got the

658
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: right spot. I feel like at times he loses focus

659
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 2: with men on base and tries to maybe overthink the

660
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: room a little bit instead of going with his best pitch.

661
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 2: And he's given up a couple of three run home

662
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: runs earlier this year on maybe his third best pitcher

663
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 2: or his fourth best pitch in big situations. In tight games. Now,

664
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: if you get him a lead, he tends to just

665
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: cruise because he can go fastball, cut, or sinker. He

666
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: doesn't have to throw the change up as much, he

667
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: doesn't have to throw the curveball as much. He can

668
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: spot it to just kind of keep guys off balance.

669
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 2: But what I'm really liking from him is that he

670
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: has shown some resilience. A lot of guys once they

671
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 2: take that initial hit in New York and they have

672
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: a rough start like he did in that first season,

673
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: Era was almost a touchdown. The last couple of years,

674
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 2: he's gotten better, right, his metrics have gotten better, his

675
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: numbers overall have gotten better, and his physical change has

676
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 2: been remarkable. You look at him a couple of years ago,

677
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: He's lost a lot of weight, he's trimmed down, he's

678
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: gotten much stronger. He's had some back issues and so

679
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: I feel like he's tried to make his body just

680
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: stronger at large to deal with that. So, I mean,

681
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 2: you're very right that when he's on, he's very on,

682
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: and when he's off, boy Souvenir day.

683
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 9: By the way, everything you're saying has been the scouting

684
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 9: report on him since he was in high school. You know,

685
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 9: during my days at Baseball America, he preceded me there.

686
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 9: But because he was a North Carolina state kid, went

687
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 9: to high school in North Carolina, and the VA offices

688
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 9: are located in North Carolina, there was always a lot

689
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 9: of conversation about him, and that's been true since high school.

690
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 9: That one he pitches with a lot of emotion, and

691
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 9: two he has unwavering confidence in himself. Sometimes you could

692
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 9: say irrational confidence in himself. But you need that sometimes

693
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 9: when you get bombed and give up in the ra

694
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 9: like you've mentioned up around seven your first year in

695
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 9: New York, and you can start thinking yourself, man, I suck.

696
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 9: But that was never going to be him. He was

697
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 9: always going to believe, no, I'm freaking amazing and I'll

698
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 9: figure this out, which to his credit he has to

699
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 9: a degree. I think the other matchup that it's going

700
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 9: to be really really interested to watch. And I want

701
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 9: to get your thoughts on this, And I say, this

702
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 9: is someone who's a national or for eight years, saw

703
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 9: the entire league, you know, had the view of the

704
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 9: entire landscape for so many of the years. The Yankees

705
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 9: have just atrocious with defensive fundamentals, their situational awareness defensively,

706
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 9: their footwork again, throwing to the wrong bases, not covering

707
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 9: bases is everything we saw in Game five of the

708
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 9: World Series last year. Was no surprise to anyone who's

709
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 9: been watching this team for years. I really think the

710
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 9: Yankees organization needs to completely overall how they're teaching defense

711
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 9: and get these guys on the field more and away

712
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 9: from the iPads. It's not hard to see the teams

713
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 9: that's been way too much time looking at the computer

714
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 9: screen and not enough time on the field perfecting their craft.

715
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 9: And that's been the Yankees for years. It's been a

716
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 9: little bit better this year. But where this matchup becomes

717
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 9: really interesting to me. We talked a lot about the Potters'

718
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 9: pitching staff, how they're utterly dominant. If bullpen gets to lead,

719
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 9: the game is over. The Potters offense is very much

720
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 9: a contact speed, try to keep constant pressure on the

721
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 9: opponent type of offense. They don't hit a lot of

722
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 9: home runs. What they're doing is making consistent contact, rolling out,

723
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 9: you know again, single to the right side, single to

724
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 9: the left side, single up the middle, double down the line,

725
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 9: just constantly, constantly wearing pitchers down. They've been great hitting

726
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 9: with two outs this season. They're second the majors in

727
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 9: both batting average and ops two outs, and they exhaust

728
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 9: opposing pitchers and the exhaust opposing defenses constantly. Everything's in motion.

729
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 9: As I mentioned, just single, single, single, double, single, and

730
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 9: then once they do on base, it's a lot of

731
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 9: first to third, a lot of second to home, stealing bases,

732
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 9: aggressive reeds in the dirt. We saw Fronw Tatist Junior

733
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 9: on Saturday, a wild pitch that barely got away from

734
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 9: Joey Barton, made an aggressive read, came home, slid in

735
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 9: head first for the go ahead run. And what the Potterys'

736
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 9: philosophy is is if we play aggressive and go right

737
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 9: after you and keep the constant pressure on the bass

738
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 9: pass and in the barre's box, eventually defenses are going

739
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 9: to fault. They're going to make a mistake, and when

740
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 9: they do, the Potterys kick the door down. We've seen

741
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 9: a lot of four or five run innings. Sometimes it

742
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 9: starts with an infield single, just because the shortstop is

743
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 9: a little too slow or too casual making what should

744
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 9: be a routine play. How do you feel like the

745
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 9: Yankees defense has improved this year because the numbers are better,

746
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 9: But I actually think that's a matchup where the Potters

747
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 9: offensive strengths match up really well against Frankly, the Yankees

748
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 9: defensive sloppiness we've seen in recent years.

749
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: Well, Glaber Torres isn't on the team anymore, and he

750
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 2: was a big problem at second base.

751
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 9: Uh oh, watch at short it was hard to watch.

752
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, and didn't get any better when they moved him

753
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: back to second. You know, Jazz was solid. I think

754
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: at second base. Occasionally he would try to make the

755
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: uber athletic play that was maybe ill advised, you know,

756
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 2: jumping and throwing when he didn't necessarily need to when

757
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: the play was to hang on to the ball. Volpi

758
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: has kicked a couple of balls in big situations lately,

759
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: but generally he's pretty reliable. I think gold Schmidt has

760
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 2: been great at first base. That's an improvement there. Max

761
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 2: Freed fields his position really well as a pitcher, which

762
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: is something that I think I saved the Yankees a

763
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: couple of runs this year. He picks guys off, he

764
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 2: makes you know, plays, what we've seen from uh Judge

765
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: going back to right field is just a much more range,

766
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 2: much better armed than we saw from Juan Soda out there.

767
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 2: And then you plug Bellinger in in centerfield or Grisham.

768
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: You know about Grisham, you know he's he is the

769
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,879
Speaker 2: smoothest center fielder that that I've seen in years. Uh

770
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I love just the way he drifts to

771
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: the ball.

772
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 9: Sometimes a little too casual, but.

773
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: Yes, Bellinger, he takes great routes. The one the one

774
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: issue that's kind of scary as Dominguez out there in

775
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 2: left field.

776
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 9: Uh.

777
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,960
Speaker 2: He he's still learning. You know, he's he's shown improvement.

778
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: It's not as bad as it was last year. But

779
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 2: you know, there was a ball today he probably could

780
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 2: have caught, didn't catch.

781
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 7: Uh.

782
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: You'll see guys miscut off men a lot because you

783
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 2: see guys trying to make the hero throw. I hate that.

784
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: I hate that h third base. You know, it depends

785
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 2: on who's playing. Oswaldo Cabret can launch the you know,

786
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: he's almost killed the Mayor's kid in the third row

787
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 2: a few times with some of his throws. But Perrazza,

788
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: if he's over there at third, I feel like he's

789
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: an elite defender. And that really depends on I Volpe's

790
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 2: back in there because he filled in for Volpe today

791
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: at short Vivas. I haven't seen enough of it second

792
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 2: base to really know, and he's been kind of filling

793
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: in for Chisholm. I think he's gotten maybe two ground

794
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 2: balls in the first three games. Austin Wells. You can

795
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: run on him. The race stole ten bags off of

796
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: him yesterday. I'm not sure if he saw that, but

797
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 2: it was an embarrassment. And look, he's a guy who

798
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 2: he was drafted. There was a lot of comments about

799
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: how he needs to improve as a catcher and his

800
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: arm wasn't that strong. But all you saw for the

801
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: first you know, year plus of his you know, major

802
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: league play, was that he had improved and he had

803
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: gotten better. And I still think he's an excellent framer.

804
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: But he's slow to get rid of the ball, and

805
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 2: a lot of times he misses high and arm side.

806
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: You see him sometimes try and get rid of it

807
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: quicker by just kind of one knee and side arming

808
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: it to second base, and that usually leads to a

809
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: wide throw as well, so he can be stolen on.

810
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: But in terms of their base running, the fundamentals of

811
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 2: their base running, I feel like it's improved drastically. Dominguez

812
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 2: is a plus base runner. You know, Bellinger is a

813
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: good base runner, good baseball player in general. Isn't hitting

814
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 2: a lot, but he runs the base as well. Gold

815
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 2: Schmid more of a station to station guy, but he

816
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: doesn't make the stupid mistake, right, I mean Rizzo, not

817
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: to say anything bad about Rizzo, but he thought he

818
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 2: was faster than he was. He would take off, he

819
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: would like, what are you doing?

820
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: You get thrown out by ten feet?

821
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: And I feel like Jan Soto had the same problem,

822
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: and Glabor Torres was an abomination of a base runner.

823
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 2: So just having those three guys off the team has

824
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 2: improved our base running in a kind of an addition

825
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 2: by subtraction way. And I do feel like the defense

826
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: is better, but there are still some moments like ye,

827
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: Volpi when he makes errors, tends to be not big spot. Unfortunately,

828
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 2: he's like the anti Jeter in that way, kind of

829
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: you know, folds in the big moment. And and you know, Domingez,

830
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: it really depends on, you know, the difficulty of the play.

831
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: He'll make the routine play. Now, the degree of difficulty

832
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: those balls that are slicing maybe hit right at him

833
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: over his head. The routes are still not great. So ultimately,

834
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 2: I think it's going to come down to, you know,

835
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: can the Yankees find a way to hit Paveta and

836
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 2: King enough to make that not be a factor. Their

837
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 2: game plan seems to be not necessarily the play great defense,

838
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 2: but to position really well using the analytics and things

839
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: like that, hope that they hit it right at your guys,

840
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: and then hope you put a couple of balls in

841
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: the seats. That seems to be the Yankees game plan.

842
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll be interesting to see. And again, the Potters

843
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 9: game plan very much is let's just wear pitchers down,

844
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 9: Let's wear defenses down, Let's make them frustrated, let's exhaust them.

845
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 5: Again.

846
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 9: They've been really good with two strikes. They've been really

847
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 9: good with two outs. Just when a pitcher thinks thereabouts

848
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 9: get out of an inning, Potters will string together three

849
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 9: straight hits, four run again infield, singles, constantly in motion

850
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 9: on the And you know it's funny you mentioned Austin

851
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 9: Wells in his arm. Actually, when I was at Baseball

852
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,479
Speaker 9: America wrote up his scouting report out of high school

853
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 9: when he was at I think it was Bishop Gorman

854
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 9: out in Vegas, and it was the same scouting report

855
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 9: that then he can really really hit, the defense needs

856
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 9: work and he can't throw anyone out. And the same

857
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 9: thing at U of A. It was the same scouting report.

858
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 9: And that's why there were so many questions about will

859
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 9: he catch in the major leagues. I hadn't saw him

860
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 9: in the fall leag and I was like, I don't

861
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 9: know if he's going to catch in the big leagues.

862
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 9: And to his credit, he has gotten better to the

863
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 9: point that he is catching in the big leagues. But

864
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 9: arm has always been a problem Daying back to high school,

865
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 9: I do think you'll see the Potters running a lot.

866
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 9: And again it's not necessarily just Tatis and the fast

867
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 9: guys that you think of right off the bat. Xander

868
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 9: Bogerts Hamany Machado have each executed two double steals this season.

869
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 9: I mean, the Potters really are running everybody, and I

870
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 9: think that's just again their style of play no matter

871
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 9: who they face. But one of the things we've seen

872
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 9: is even the really good defenses start to falter. You know,

873
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 9: the Cubs and Guardians are two teams that have a

874
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 9: lot of really talented defensive players. Guardians are famous for

875
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 9: playing clean baseball against the Padres. I mean, the Padres

876
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 9: made the Guardians look like a bad high school defense.

877
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 9: You could see guys picking their eyes up early on

878
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 9: ground balls. You could see them worried about the base runners.

879
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 9: The Potter's getting your head and again it's a very

880
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 9: Mic Schiltz style of play. He loves to have that

881
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 9: edge and just drive opponent's crazy. So I would say

882
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 9: from the Potters' perspective, the plan is continue to put

883
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,320
Speaker 9: pressure on teams in the better's box on the bass pass,

884
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 9: frustrate them, get your four or five runs, hand the

885
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 9: game over to the bullpen, and if they do, the

886
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 9: game's over. And the sixth one thing that will be

887
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 9: really really interesting for the Padres is Jackson maryl and

888
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 9: Jake Croniworth have become the rehab assignments. They've both been

889
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 9: out for a while. If Jackson Merrill comes back, that

890
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 9: takes this Potters offense, which early in the season was

891
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 9: scoring seven to eight nine runs a game, then after

892
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 9: losing Meryl, Croniworth and a Riaz, was scoring one or

893
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 9: two runs a game. Recently they've been scoring four or five.

894
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 9: If Meryll comes back, it completely changes the dynamic of

895
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 9: the offense because now you have a third mv P candidate.

896
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 9: There's been some hope and thought he'll be back for

897
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 9: this series. And again, anytime a guy is coming off

898
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 9: an injury and a rehab stint, you never know how

899
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 9: many games he'll need to get back up to speed

900
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 9: and then the rhythm of big league baseball. But if

901
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 9: he comes back, it's the ground running that's going to

902
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 9: be another dimension of the Potters offense the Yankees are

903
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 9: gonna have to deal with.

904
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:19,839
Speaker 4: Well.

905
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,759
