1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: Welcome dude, got me y'all sit, pull me back? All right? 2 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: How's it going, everybody? How's it going? Welcome back. If 3 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 2: you are a Yankees fan, and I suspect that you 4 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 2: are if you're watching this podcast, it's going to be 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: a long five days without baseball. And that's honestly a 6 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: good thing because it means that the Yankees have played 7 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 2: well enough to secure a first round by and to 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: secure home field advantage, and that's good. 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: Those are good things. 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 2: They don't have to go through all that mess that 11 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: the Braves and the Mets are going through. 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: Today. 13 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: Doubleheader the day before the playoffs starts. Unreal, some would 14 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: say unfair, but that's on Rob Manfred. That's his problem, 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: not mine. If you've been following closely, you I already 16 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 2: know this, but quick rundown of the playoffs, the Yankees 17 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,919 Speaker 2: will play the winner of the Royals and Orioles wildcard series. 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: That's best two out of three. Tigers and Astros are 19 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 2: playing in the other series, and the winner of that 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: series will play Cleveland. I don't know if I have 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: a preference as to what team I want to play. 22 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: Both the Royals and the Orioles can be very very 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: good at times. They've both beaten the Yankees in short 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: series this year. But I think the Yankees have what 25 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: it takes to beat every team in the American League 26 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: if they play right. And we'll talk about the keys 27 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: to number twenty eight in just a few minutes once 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 2: I'm confident more people. 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Are on the live stream. In the National League, it's 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: wide open. 31 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: Got the Brewers, the Phillies, the Dodgers, the Padres, all nasty. 32 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 2: Of course, you got the Mets and the Braves playing today. 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,639 Speaker 2: Game one was amazing, but overall, this was a pretty 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: fun year. There's a lot of parody in the league. 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: Judge and Soto were both healthy for the entire year, 36 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: and we got to see them put up historic numbers. 37 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 2: I do wish they had combined for just one more 38 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: home run, but ninety nine isn't bad. Garrett Cole missed 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 2: the first two and a half months, and we had 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: to wonder what's he gonna pitch like when he came back. 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: Turns out it was a slow ramp up, but he's 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: hitting his peak at just the right time. The bullpen 43 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: has been a big worry, but Luke Weaver and Ian 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: Hamilton look great. They're both untested in the postseason, but 45 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 2: they both have good stuff. Clay Holmes is a disaster 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: and you just know the Yankees are gonna put him 47 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: on the postseason roster, but I wouldn't pitch him in 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: any kind of a big spot. 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: Talk about that more later. 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 2: Defense and base running has not been good this year. 51 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: They've played a lot of sloppy baseball, and at times 52 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: in the playoffs that can really kill you. A lot 53 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: of times in the postseason, it's the little things that 54 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 2: you know teams execute that makes a difference, and I'm 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 2: not sure the Yankees do the little things well enough. 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: They're gonna have to mash the baseball and they're gonna 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 2: have to miss bats. Dark Moon says that if playoff 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 2: Stanton and Judge also Soto show. 59 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: Up, they will be a force. 60 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: I don't think you can count on all those guys 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: to hit. We need at least one or two of 62 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: them to hit though. 63 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: For real. 64 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: We can't have the heart of our order going one 65 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: for twelve each night. And look, Aaron Boone has an 66 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: option for next year. But if the Yankees play sloppy 67 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: baseball and run themselves out of innings and botch routine 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: defensive plays, and don't cover second base or get picked off. 69 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: These are things that factor into whether the Yankees should 70 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: bring him back and whether they will bring him back. 71 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: We need clean, crisp baseball, something the Yankees have not 72 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: done a lot of this year. They have gotten by 73 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 2: because they have historic seasons from Aaron Judge and Juan Soto. 74 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick look at their stats this year. 75 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: Austin Wells, I'm just gonna make this a little bit 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: if I can. Austin Wells two twenty nine. He really 77 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: fell off in the second half. Thirteen homers, fifty five 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 2: RBIs seven eighteen ops rizzo. He's probably gonna be out 79 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: for the playoffs. But two twenty eight with eight home runs, 80 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: have to think his Yankees career, and maybe his career 81 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: in general, probably over. Wouldn't shock me if he signed 82 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 2: with the Cubs for one day and retired as a 83 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: Cup clabor Torres heated up at the end of the season, 84 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: finished at two fifty seven fifteen home runs sixty three 85 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: RBIs one oh one ops plus volpi. Not a great year, 86 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: but an improvement from last season. Two forty three twelve 87 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: home run sixty RBIs twenty eight stolen bases. Oswaldo Cabrera's 88 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: he could be a factor this postseason, and I'll tell 89 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: you why in a minute. Two forty seven average, eight 90 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: home runs thirty six, but a lot of big hits, 91 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: a lot of big hits, especially earlier in the season. 92 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: That's why he had six belts. 93 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: Alex Ridugo two thirty three, thirteen home run sixty one RBIs. 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 2: These are not good numbers from Wells Verdugo. These are 95 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 2: just not good numbers at all. So the Yankees have 96 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 2: got to do something with the big guys. Judge three 97 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: twenty two, fifty eight home runs, one hundred and forty 98 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: four RBIs, Juan Soto two eighty eight, forty one home runs, 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: one hundred nine RBIs, Stanton twenty seven home runs seventy 100 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: two RBIs hit just two thirty three, but you know 101 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 2: he was in the low two hundreds of the last 102 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: few years. Be interesting to see how it works out 103 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 2: with Dominguez and Birdie and Rice and Grisham. We'll talk 104 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: about the roster in just a second, but looking at 105 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: the pitching, Carlos Rodin thirty two starts this year led 106 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: the staff sixteen to nine. He really stepped up. Nice 107 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: bounce back year. Nester Cortez obviously on the IL. I 108 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: don't think he's gonna be back for the DS, but 109 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: maybe the CS. He made thirty starts thirty one games, 110 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: peered once in relief against the Cubs, and was outstanding 111 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: nine to ten with a three point seven to seven ERA. 112 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: Marcus Stroman, I doubt he's gonna see the ball very 113 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: much in the postseason ten and nine with a four 114 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: point three to one ERA. Solid number five guy, but 115 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: he made the third most starts on the team, tied 116 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: with Louise Heel who went fifteen to seven with a 117 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: three point five zero. Did not throw the ball well 118 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: there at the end of the season. Get rid of 119 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: this ad that's on the screen. And Clark Schmidt five 120 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: and five, two point eight five, sixteen starts, did not 121 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: finish strong. But the main guy is Garrett Cole. It's 122 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: gonna come down to him as our ace. He's going 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: to be getting the ball on Saturday Night. He should 124 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: be peaking at the right time. We'll talk more about 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: that in just a second, but let's talk a little 126 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 2: bit about the playoff roster decisions that the Yankees have 127 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: so as much as I want Domingez to get the 128 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: experience and be in the game and you know, live 129 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: up to the prediction I made last year that he 130 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: would be this year's ALCS MVP. Alex Rodugo got a 131 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: couple of big hits this week and he played really 132 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: great defense all year long, and let's be honest, Dimingez 133 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: seems to be pressing right now a little bit in 134 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: the batter's box and in the field now. He does 135 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: have great bats, so that could be something that leads 136 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 2: to him being. 137 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: On the roster. 138 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 2: He sees a ton of pitches, a lot of full counts. 139 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: He's got speed on the basis, which can help you athleticism, 140 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: but he has not been good in the field, and 141 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: he does not he has not been hitting the ball 142 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: very well, so he might get left off the roster. 143 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: To complicate things, Trent Grisham has shown some pop this year, 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: nine home runs out of his thirty five hits, and 145 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: it surprises me that they didn't use him in left 146 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: field at all because he could have been a fair 147 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 2: option out there for this series. Great defender, but probably 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: gonna come down to Fordugo, Dominguez, and Grisham. One of 149 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: them is gonna be left off the roster. If I 150 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: had to guess, I'd say they probably leave Dominguez off 151 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: the roster, despite fans wanting to see him. Now's not 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: the time to let a kid grow into a spot 153 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: when you got you know, do or die games. The 154 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: first base situation is interesting too. Ben Rice had some moments, 155 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: but he's a novice defensively at a position where you 156 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: really need somebody who can pick it over there. And 157 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 2: Rizzo has two broken fingers, and as Paul O'Neal said, 158 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: you just can't turn one hundred mile hour fastball with 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: two broken fingers. You can't put run a guy out 160 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: there in the playoffs with two broken fingers and expect 161 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 2: them to produce. If Boone runs Rizzo out there with 162 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 2: two broken fingers and he goes zero for ten in 163 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 2: the series and strikes out in a couple of big spots, 164 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: bounces into a big double play in a key situation, 165 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: the media will absolutely eat him for breakfast. You know that, 166 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 2: And so that's why they won't do it, because it 167 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 2: would happen. The ball will find you, the bigot bats 168 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: will find you when you're hurt. My answer is this, 169 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: Oswaldo Cabrera at first base, and then John Birdie becomes 170 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 2: your middle infielder, you or your utility infielder. Doesn't Oswaldo 171 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: Cabrera give you the vibes of somebody who can come 172 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: up big in a playoff spot. I get those vibes 173 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: from him. He's one of those guys that you know. 174 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 2: In the beginning of the season when we were playing 175 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: Houston and all the attention was honest, he was red hot. 176 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: It seems like he's had big hit after big hit 177 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: this year. I'm I'm I'm high on Oswaldo for the postseason. 178 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: He's my pick to click as like an unsung hero. 179 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: And the good thing about having Birdie available as a 180 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: utility guy is that if you need to pinch run 181 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: uh for somebody with Bertie, he can stay in the 182 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: game and swing the bat because he can handle his 183 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: own with the bat. Let me see what he hit 184 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 2: this year. He didn't have a ton of it bats 185 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 2: because he got hurt. But let me find out what 186 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: John Berdi hit this year. He had two seventy three. 187 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: That's respectable, two seventy three, three forty two on base percentage, 188 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 2: one home run ty four. Last year, though, guy's a 189 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: contact hitter. But I really, I really want Oswaldo on 190 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 2: this roster. I think at first base he gives us 191 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: a better chance than Ben Rice both offensively and defensively. 192 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 2: If Ben Rice had gotten a couple of hits in 193 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: the last game and looked good. I know it's a 194 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: lot to put on a kid for one game, but 195 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: that might have been his key to getting on the roster. 196 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 2: But you know, since he is a novice defensively, you 197 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 2: just know there's gonna be a and so is Oswaldough 198 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: to some degree. But he's at least been a pro 199 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 2: for longer, been a major league defensive player for a 200 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: longer time. He's familiar with the speed of the game. 201 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 2: But you can't have a novice at an important position 202 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: in a big spot if you can avoid it. So 203 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: let's talk about the keys to winning number twenty eight, 204 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 2: and then we'll get to your voicemails. The Yankees have 205 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 2: a few things they need to do this year. The 206 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 2: slate is clean. Now is the chance to turn your 207 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: season into what it should have been. This team won 208 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: ninety four games, but they really should have won about 209 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: one hundred games if they played fundamental baseball and they 210 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: had used their bullpen more effectively. They could have won 211 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 2: one hundred games. They really could have. Clay Holmes blew 212 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 2: like thirteen games. You win half of those, you're ninety 213 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: six or ninety nine, one hundred. So Number one, they 214 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: have to be careful on the basis. I'm not saying 215 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: they have to run the bases perfectly, because you can't 216 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 2: make chicken salad out of chicken shit. We got some 217 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 2: bad base runners on this team, but they ran into way, 218 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: way too many outs this year, and that's because they're 219 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: overly aggressive. Labor Torres and Juan Soto are the two 220 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: main culprits. I love Wan Soto, I like Labor Torres, 221 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: but they are both under the mistaken impression that they 222 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: are fast. They are not fast. I want those guys 223 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 2: to focus on two things. Number one, impacting the baseball, 224 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: hitting the baseball, and number two catching the baseball. Do 225 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 2: those two things. When you get on base, if you 226 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 2: have an easy base, take it. I don't want to 227 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: see aggressive base running from those guys. They're not good 228 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: base runners, their judgment on the bases is all wrong, 229 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: and they're not fast. Labor, I swear to God if 230 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: you get thrown out at third base. I'm gonna rip 231 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: you a new one like you have never had a 232 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 2: new one ripped before. Number two, Aaron Judge and Juan 233 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 2: Soto have to both hit the crap out of the baseball. 234 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: We didn't get this far because of our ability to 235 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: play small ball or our ability to hit with runners 236 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: in scoring position. I'm sorry we got this far because 237 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 2: we have Judge and Sodo. We got this far because 238 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: we can mash the baseball, because Wan Soto draws walks 239 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 2: and Judge hits the ball out of the ballpark. Or 240 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: you get a couple of guys on base, you got 241 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 2: to pitch to Sodo and he smokes it. Soto, if 242 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: you want six hundred million to wear the pinstripes, you 243 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: have to earn it. Nobody cares about what you did 244 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: in the regular season. If you go one for fifteen 245 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, he's gonna find out real quick that 246 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 2: those one hundred and twenty nine walks and the forty 247 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: one home runs nobody cares about. The season begins Saturday 248 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 2: night in New York. The previous one sixty two were 249 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 2: just the warm up. Number three. 250 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: We need the guys who are our. 251 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: Masters to get pitched too right, So that means we 252 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: need someone to produce out of the number four spot 253 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 2: right now against a right handed pitcher. I think jazz 254 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: is the way to go. I realize Austin Wells did 255 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 2: well after getting moved to the number four spot. Right now, 256 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 2: he's not swinging the bat well and Jazz Chisholm is 257 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: on the upward swing. He is starting to heat up 258 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: right at the end of the season. He was the 259 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 2: one guy that was getting big hits. Ride that ride, 260 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: that momentum, and you know he's a guy who's gonna 261 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: feed off that energy. He's another guy that's a pick 262 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: for an unsung hero. John Carlow, you're the man against 263 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: lefties in the cleanup spot, but don't try and hit 264 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: home runs. You're strong enough that you don't need to 265 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 2: be off balance. Just take a nice, easy swing. You're 266 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: strong enough that if you make solid contact, the exit 267 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: veila will be there. The power will take care of itself. 268 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: You don't need to swing out of your shoes. Get 269 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: pitches to hit, and hit them hard and that low 270 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 2: and away slider, as Barry Bonds told you, just don't 271 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: swing at it. Number four we need Garrett Cole to 272 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 2: continue to pitch like an ace like he has his 273 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: last two times out. If he can maintain that, we 274 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: can ride him deep into games. He's fresh, He's only 275 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: made seventeen starts this year. He can give you one 276 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen pitches in a big spot. I'd rather 277 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: have a slightly tired Garrett Cole with a three run 278 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: lead than going to Tim Masa or something. We need 279 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 2: Ian Hamilton, we need Luke Weaver, and we need Tommy Cainley. 280 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: All to be lights out, lights out, You've got maybe 281 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: ten more appearances. You guys need to be a three 282 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 2: headed monster. I want to see these guys dominating. And 283 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: Clay Holmes, unless we're up by seven, eight runs, I 284 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: want to see him spitting seeds in the bullpen. I 285 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 2: don't want him getting near the major league field with 286 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: a two run lead. No way, no way, don't care 287 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 2: what inning. Don't trust him and number six. We need 288 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: an unsung hero. I said it could be Oswaldo. Seems 289 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: to play great when the lights are brightest, but we 290 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: have some other contenders. Anthony Volpie always plays well when 291 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: he gets some rest, and he's got five days rests. 292 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 2: A red hot Anthony Volpe, even for one series, would 293 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: be a huge, huge difference. We need someone to step 294 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: up and be our Harrison Bader from a couple of 295 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: years ago. Right, Will it be Austin Wells, Will it 296 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: be Oswaldo? We need somebody to step up and last, 297 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: but not least, play with a killer instinct, a killer instinct. 298 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: We don't want the team that's trying to play safe 299 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: on the basis, yeah, don't be so aggressive, but use 300 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: your best pictures, use your best relievers, go for the 301 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: juggular if you get the chance. I want to see 302 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: this team play like there is no tomorrow, because there 303 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 2: might not be if they play like they have in 304 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: the postseason the last few years. I still have that 305 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: stinging sensation in me from the twenty twenty two postseason 306 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: where we got swept by the Astros and the Alcs. 307 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,479 Speaker 2: That was a tough series for me. I had a 308 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 2: cat named Joba, beloved cat of mine. He died before 309 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,719 Speaker 2: Game three, and then the Yankees got swept and I 310 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: just felt miserable all winter. And then last year we 311 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 2: suffered through one of the weakest, most pathetic teams that 312 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 2: the Yankees have fielded in my lifetime. Definitely in the 313 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: last thirty years or so, I'm forty one, I've been 314 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: watching I was about four years old. 315 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: I saw some of those you know, one hundred lost 316 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: teams in the early nineties. 317 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 2: They were bad. I didn't realize how bad because I 318 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 2: was young. But we've seen a lot of teams come 319 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: and go. And last year's team was pathetic eighty two 320 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: and eighty. This year, you've got a chance to flip 321 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 2: the script. Gotta play fundamental baseball, gotta play smart baseball, 322 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: and gotta go for the kill. Quick ad from our sponsor, Hewle. 323 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 2: And then I've got let's say one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, 324 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: eight nine voicemails.

Mornings are nuts, 327 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,360 Speaker 2: especially when you're doing a voicemail show like I do. 328 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: No time for breakfast, but you still need to start 329 00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: your day right.

All right, we're gonna take some voicemails now, 344 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: Gary Oh says gates will not last long. 345 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 3: Ah. 346 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 2: Another doomer, Another doomer. Let's win just to spite Gary there. 347 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 4: All right, it's Marissa, Hey, marssa some long island here. 348 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 4: I think Sodo staying in New York. I don't know 349 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 4: if like you keep up with like, you know, like 350 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 4: Dominican music, but Dominican rapper Alsa just release like a 351 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 4: single called the Sodo Shuffle and it's the cover album 352 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: is Sodo in a Yankee uniform and the whole song 353 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 4: is just him saying Soo and Yankee repetitively like, I 354 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: don't know if that's a sign, if they're trying to 355 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 4: tell us something. But how is someone gonna drop a 356 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 4: whole song. 357 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 3: About Sodo. 358 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 4: Related to the Yankees just for him to go to 359 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 4: the Mets, Like, I don't know. 360 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: I think it's a sign. 361 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 4: You let me know. 362 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: I I hope it is. We'll see. 363 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he could always team up with another Dominican 364 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: rapper and release a song called Metropolitano or something if 365 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 2: he signs with the Mets. I just I don't know 366 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: that hal Steinbrenner will make the highest offer. That seems 367 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: to be the contention point. You know, Michael ka has 368 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: said this buster only was on the show a couple 369 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 2: of weeks ago. A couple days ago, he said this, 370 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 2: the Yankees have a max price that they will go to, 371 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: and it might be we don't know what it is. 372 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 2: Could be five fifty, could be six fifty. But Steve 373 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 2: Cohen can't afford to go higher. But I like the 374 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 2: way you're thinking, and that's definitely a good sign. And 375 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: you know, not a great negotiating tactic. But all right, 376 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 2: let's get another call here. 377 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 5: I think I'm a postseason roster. You gotta go with 378 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 5: the dog and left and that was Waldough at first base. 379 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 5: I don't want to do either of those things. I 380 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 5: would like the man used to be a left field 381 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 5: and I liked the Yankees to have found a replacement 382 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 5: for Rissa, who's been terrible season, regardless of his injury history. 383 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: Be you lifted too late. 384 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 5: I mean, you can't go into the postseason with Domingos 385 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 5: who's not up to speed on the pitching yet and 386 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 5: can't play the outfield consistently, and then the Yankees have 387 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 5: the first basement in Triple A. That's a twenty twenty 388 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 5: three goal love winner. He's been raking, but for some reason, 389 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 5: he's just been stuck with Rice all year. And now 390 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 5: like it's too late to try this other guy. I 391 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 5: think it's a Rumsfield. It's too late to try him 392 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 5: because you can't just have a guy because I'll be 393 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 5: debut the postseasons. This is something that Yankees just thought 394 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 5: about months ago when Rice was struggling. Rice hadn't been all. 395 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 2: Right, so I gonna cutch you off there. It went 396 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: on for another minute or so. 397 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: So t J. 398 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 2: Rumfeld had a really good season in Triple Am. Cheer 399 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: his stats. He had two ninety four with fifteen home runs, 400 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 2: in seventy three RBIs, three seventy on base percentage eight 401 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: twenty four ops. But like you said, didn't crack the 402 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: major league roster six five two twenty five left hander. 403 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: You know, those type of bats usually play well in 404 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. 405 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: I agree with you. 406 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 2: I wish we had gotten a chance to see him, 407 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: but they're not gonna call him up for the playoffs. 408 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: We have seen players make their major league debut in 409 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: the playoffs. We've seen players make their major league debut 410 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 2: in the World Series. Happened a few years ago with 411 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: the Royals. But I don't anticipate in getting called up. 412 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: Maybe next year in spring training he and Rice will 413 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 2: battle it out. I think that they're gonna decline the 414 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: option on Anthony Rizzo, which means there will be an 415 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: opening at first base. All right, We got another call 416 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 2: here about Dominguez, Ridugo, and Grisham. 417 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek is just calling about the playoff roster construction, 418 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 3: and I feel like there's a way to get Dimingez, Grisham, 419 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 3: and Verdugo all on playoff roster, and that is simply 420 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 3: by not putting Ben Rice on and making Osvalda Cabrera 421 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 3: the first baseman in the playoff. I know it's risky, 422 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: but he's hit well and he showed that he can 423 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 3: pick it at first base, and obviously, with Rizzo being hurt, 424 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 3: it seems like the most likely option, especially considering that 425 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 3: you have the Rice not hitting a lick in the 426 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: last few months. If he was up before he was 427 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: sent down, I thank Derek, So I. 428 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: Mean, it's just gonna be the toughest decision. Is the outfield. 429 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: For me. 430 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna stick with Oswaldough at first base. 431 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 2: He showed me enough he made some nice defensive plays 432 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: the other day. But the outfield, Domingo is Dugo Grisham 433 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: is gonna be the toughest decision, and just knowing the Yankees, 434 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 2: I think they're gonna go with Dugo, that would be 435 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: my guess. 436 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 6: Hey, Derek, what's up? As John I called before just 437 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 6: to thank you, but I wanted to make my postseason 438 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 6: position a little clearer. What I was really saying is 439 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 6: I would leave Dugal off because I think that Trent 440 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 6: Grisham is a tremendous outfield and he could do just 441 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 6: as well of a job on the corners, and. 442 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 7: If he does get it hit, it's gonna be for damage, 443 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 7: not a single. 444 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 6: He doesn't have the ground balls. I think strikeouts better 445 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 6: than a double play. 446 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 7: He's a better base runner, and if the Mingas had 447 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 7: hit even a little bit, I think his on base 448 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 7: percentage might be higher or the same as Lush and Verdugo. 449 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 7: And that it hit a little bit, you know you're 450 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 7: looking at three fifty or higher and turn a walk 451 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 7: into a double. 452 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: But I'll stop you right there. I again, I think 453 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 2: that they're going to leave Verdugo on the roster. I 454 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 2: just think that, you know, he was such a big 455 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 2: part of the team this year, played so many games 456 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: out there, regardless of how well he hit or didn't hit. 457 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 2: The Yankees are loyal to a fault, and I think 458 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: they're going to leave Radugo. 459 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 3: On the roster. 460 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 8: Hi Jack, this is Patrick. I mean, I think you've 461 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 8: seen since Trenten three. I just wanted to say I 462 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 8: would have both John Birdie and Mingas on the postseason 463 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 8: Masters if nothing else. Ben Trenders, I just think that's 464 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 8: been a lighty backset. Look at the disappode toxin Dave Rophich. 465 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 8: You know so I said jeans about that anyhow, that's 466 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 8: not one to say. 467 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: Do something, know what you think, appreciate Patrick take care. 468 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 2: Speed is definitely a big factor in the postseason. As 469 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: you mentioned, Dave Roberts, I think Birdie's gonna be on 470 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: the roster tom As. 471 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I hope so. But we'll see safe 472 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: situation here. 473 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 9: Hey, Derek's a safe situation you know back in the day, 474 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 9: Now get off my lawn. I mean the ninety eight 475 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 9: Yankees that era, you would never see like base running 476 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 9: mistakes like that. It would be incredibly rare, just stupid 477 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 9: mistakes you'd never see. I mean Paul O'Neill. I mean, 478 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 9: he's been very nice and he still says it after 479 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 9: he's played. That just shouldn't happen, just going through the motions. 480 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 9: And I know there's different times of this season, but 481 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 9: that's not the New York Yankees that I know and expect. 482 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: And appreciate the call. 483 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, again, we talked about fundamental baseball, about good 484 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: base running. You have to play baseball in the postseason. Typically, 485 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: mashing home run teams don't go very far. Now, the 486 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 2: Rangers last year they mashed home runs and won. But 487 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 2: they also played some good d made some big plays 488 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: along the way. I can't remember a Yankee team that 489 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: was built to mash that went very far. Remember Murderers 490 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 2: Row plus Cano five games and out. 491 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 10: Hey, Derek, Well, the twenty twenty four season is over, 492 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 10: ninety four and sixty eight AL East champions, number one 493 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 10: AL seeds. And I'll tell you what, Derek, the only 494 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 10: team I'm scared of going into the playoffs, the only 495 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 10: team in the AL I am scared of is the 496 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 10: Houston Astros. If they got knocked out early, he might 497 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 10: have a chance of winning at all. 498 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 11: Well. Yeah, great season and I could see it going 499 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 11: the whole way, Derek. 500 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 12: This is one of those years since wide open. 501 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 10: I could see want so to coming up big. 502 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 5: I think Aaron Judges do for a good postseason. 503 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 10: Stand could have another months to postseasons. And there's always 504 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 10: somebody has to breakout post seasons, almost always. I mean, 505 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 10: who thought Harrison Bayley was the guy in twice point 506 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 10: two and he came through. So who knows, Maybe that 507 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 10: alex Perdugal, maybe he comes out of the small maybe 508 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 10: Glaboratres or Anthony Bolty or who knows, but yeah, great season, Derek, 509 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 10: I love Duldup post San Rey Chaps. 510 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 11: Then a great season. 511 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 10: Let's make it a great postseason. 512 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. 513 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 2: I'll be here after every single game. That's what I 514 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 2: love about the postseason is the unexpected heroes, the Aaron Smalls, 515 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: the Shawan Chacones, the you know, Harrison baters like you mentioned, Uh, 516 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: you know, I. 517 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: I don't know who it's gonna be. 518 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: I suspect it could be Oswald though, that's the guy 519 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: who seems to feed off the energy for me. But 520 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: it would also be fun to see Judge and Soto 521 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: just mash their way through the playoffs. 522 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 13: Y Hey, Frank from southern California, Congratulations on a great year. 523 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 13: Congratulations Yankees on the best record in the American League. 524 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 13: I can call that. 525 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 3: I was hopeful that. 526 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 13: I don't think you or anybody really honestly wants the 527 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 13: Martian on the postseason roster hit one seventy nine, shaky defense. 528 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:31,400 Speaker 13: He just didn't do it. And sure we want him 529 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 13: to get experienced, et cetera, but he doesn't belong in 530 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 13: the postseason roster. Bertie put Bertie on that roster man 531 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 13: and congraduates from a great seasons take care of. 532 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: But you know, it's weird. It's hard to separate being 533 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: a fan from being objective as a podcaster. The fan 534 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 2: in me wants Domingas in there because I believe in 535 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: the kid, and I believe he's got a bright future 536 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: and it would be to see him come up big 537 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 2: in the playoffs. But the podcaster in me that is 538 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: realistic and tries to separate himself from the fandom and 539 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,239 Speaker 2: just look at objectively, what's the best team you can 540 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: put out there. I don't know if that includes Domingas 541 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 2: right now, just be I think next year for sure, 542 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 2: you know, next year he's the opening day center fielder 543 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: and he'll probably have a great year and he'll get comfortable. 544 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: I just don't think he's comfortable yet. 545 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: And I feel bad going with somebody who's uh, you know, 546 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: maybe not experienced and not totally ready in a big spot, 547 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: and that worries me, you know, one. 548 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 12: Years old, Hey, Derek, it's chain final call, just calling 549 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 12: about the playoffs and the Yanks, and unfortunately working in 550 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 12: the playoffs shadows. 551 00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 11: For the Yanks and US Yankee fans is the a goofy. 552 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 11: Garrett Cole has the ability to do something goofy. Carlos 553 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 11: Ordan has the ability to do something goofy, Alex Radougo 554 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 11: the ability to do something goofy, and the King of 555 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 11: Goofy manager Aaron Boone most definitely has the element within 556 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 11: him to do something goofy. I envision an important moment 557 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 11: in the playoffs, John Carlos stan ringing double and Boone 558 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 11: orders Stanton to steal third as a surprise motive. The 559 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 11: only problem is Stanton is so slow everybody's able to 560 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 11: recover from the surprise of him taking on. 561 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: Oh man, I appreciate at the call. 562 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 2: I think, you know, I don't know how fast the 563 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: tectonic plates move, but I think third base has a 564 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 2: better chance of getting to John Carlow and stealing John 565 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: Carlow than John Carlo has a stealing third base. But look, guys, 566 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: we're a few days out. All we can do is 567 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 2: wait and speculate and hope and watch the other games, 568 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 2: and you know, hope that every game goes fifteen to 569 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 2: sixteen innings, and that the teams that we could possibly 570 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: be playing burn through all of their infielders. We get 571 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: a couple of tight hammies. Maybe somebody takes a ball 572 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 2: off the hand and you know, you know, you don't 573 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 2: even broken wrists or anything, but maybe they're not feeling 574 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: so good when they get to the Division series. I 575 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: want some guys getting tired and banged up, and I 576 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 2: want the Yankees rested up and fresh and playing with 577 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 2: that killer instinct and playing fundamental baseball. We're gonna have 578 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: Max Goodman on later this week.
