1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Morning, everybody. Yankees lost seventeen to five yesterday. I'm sure 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 1: these voicemails, which I haven't listened to yet, are gonna 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: be just as reasonable as the comments. 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: These civilized people, they'll eat each other. 5 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 3: Both is struggling with a lot of injuries. Do you 6 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 3: think you think we are capable to offense? It's capable 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 3: of carrying like the low like for a little bit 8 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: of a set like the next like five means you no, 9 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if we are like we they's still 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 3: so much signs of life the offense, but like I 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: just don't know. I don't touch that we are things. 12 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: So the question is, now that we're a little bit 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: thin on pitching, is the offense good enough to carry 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: the Yankees through this next series with the Braves and 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: possibly beyond. I mean, obviously they are good enough. Aaron 16 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: Judge looked good yesterday. Volpi is beginning to heat up. 17 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Stand has been hitting the ball harder lately. But what 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: we need more than that is we need the starting 19 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: pitching to give us length for about a week. We 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: gotta get Carlos Rodin to give us seven innings. We 21 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: gotta get Stroman to go deep into the game. We 22 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: got to take some pressure off of that bullpen because 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: they are worn out right now. And yes, it would 24 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 1: help if the offense would put up some big, crooked 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: numbers early in the game. If the Yankees could get 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: back to that formula they had when they were winning 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: all those games, is get a nice, big early lead, 28 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: get strong starting pitching, tack on a couple of runs 29 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of the game, and then let the 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: bullpen shut it down. Right now, the bullpen is not 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: pitching well. The starting pitching looks a little bit worn out. 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: It's a good thing that we got the All Star 33 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: break coming up pretty soon, because I think everybody just 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: needs a break, and that's not just the Yankees, that's 35 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: around major League Baseball. But it's gonna be a team 36 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: effort to kind of overcome this valley that they're in 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: right now. I still think this is a good team, 38 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: but they've had some obvious flaws exposed. 39 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 4: So so what's going on with he Man? I don't 40 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 4: know if if it's looking like the Yankees might need 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 4: to pump the brakes a little with him, he might 42 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 4: be getting a little tired already. It was. 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: It was actually a few starts to go that Pedro 44 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: Martinez was doing an analysis and he was He was 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: noticing it too. He was like that kid, I noticed 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: I for the pump. 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 4: He was pushing the boss and Fus Peterson. 48 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 3: When we pushed the ball like that, it's beuse we tire. 49 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: So I was saying that the kid is getting got 50 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: like the Yankees, they might need to keep an eye 51 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: on that. 52 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: You know, first of all, killer impression, killer impression of 53 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez. It would not surprise me if he was 54 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: getting a little bit tired, and Pedro would know better 55 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: than I would. If a pitcher is pushing the baseball, 56 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: to me, it just looks like he's pitching, you know 57 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: what I mean. I still see ninety nine miles an hour. 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: I still see a ninety five mile an hour change up. 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: But I do you know that many pitchers have said 60 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: that when you start to get a little bit tired, 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: the first thing that goes is location. And yesterday the 62 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: location was really bad. It was right down the middle. 63 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: And there's no telling if he was tipping his pitches 64 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: or not, because, like I said during the post game, 65 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: the Orioles were hitting everything they swung at really hard. 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's not like they were, you know, hitting 67 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: hangars or whatever. They were hitting stuff that was electric. 68 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: It was just in a bad location and they were 69 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: able to capitalize. If you know it's coming and it's 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: right down the middle, you're gonna crush it if you're 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: a major league hitter. I think there might be a 72 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: little bit of both. I think you might be a 73 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: little bit tired, and I think there might have been 74 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: some tipping going on. And obviously the location was terrible. 75 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: But look, he's a rookie. He's still nine to two 76 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: with a two point seven to seven era. Every single 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: one of US Yankees fans would have signed up for 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: that start from Louis Heel when we found out he 79 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: was taking over that spot in the rotation. He's still 80 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: an All Star. It's just a blip on the radar, hopefully, 81 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: but would not shock me if he's a little bit tired, 82 00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: appreciate the call. 83 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: Hey Deeric, this is Myers again. Stuff lost to the O's, 84 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: but we just gotta remember we get to put the 85 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: loss behind us. I still believe that this team can 86 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: win to the Vision. Remember last year around this time, 87 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: Yankees were getting blown out frequently and we had to 88 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: have all those position players in the IKA have to 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: come in and hitch and I got really annoying this year. 90 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: This is like the only game that I can remember 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 4: where the Yankees got blown out. This game in this 92 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: series is a good reminder for the Yankees that they 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 4: are going to be challenged with facing a great young 94 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: team in their vision. That's going to be a problem 95 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 4: for them for years. 96 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: For sure. The Orioles are going to be a problem. 97 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though. The Orioles fans are really annoying. 98 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: They're getting their first taste of winning in a little 99 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: while and they don't know how to handle it. It's 100 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: like when you give your friend his first beer and 101 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, bro, so tipsy. 102 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: Bro. 103 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: A lot of them talking trash in the comments like 104 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: I've never heard because they're winning for the first time 105 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: in their lives. But it reminds me a little bit 106 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: of the Blue Jays back in twenty sixteen when they 107 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: were winning for the first time in a long time 108 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: and everybody got cocky and they didn't win shit. It's 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: a whole different animal to win in the playoffs, and 110 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: the Orioles haven't proven they can do that. Neither have 111 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: the Yankees for that matter. But it's gonna be fun 112 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: watching these two teams go back and forth. And the 113 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: Yankees are gonna get some improvements, right, I mean, they 114 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: had some holes exposed the bullpen. Obviously, we still need 115 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: a third basement. I think although DJ did hit the 116 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: ball a little bit better the last couple of days, 117 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: I still think the Yankees need a third baseman. Ryan 118 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: McMahon seems to be the guy. He made a great 119 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: play yesterday or the day before, and they're gonna be 120 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: aggressive because they're going for it. You don't know if 121 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to bring back Juan Soto next season, 122 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: So if you're Cashman and you're the Yankees' front office, 123 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: you're going for it. I'm excited to see what the 124 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: Yankees are gonna do as we approach the trade deadline, 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: which is now just a little bit over a month away. 126 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 5: Ye us a sparky from Greenville, Pennsylvania, Benny Yankee fan 127 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 5: nineteen fifty six, and I am so sick after tonight's 128 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 5: blowout game. The booze just stands up there because it's 129 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 5: just a bump in the road. 130 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: I don't understand what people want him to say. After 131 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: a loss like that. We suck. Our bullpen sucks, laboratoris sucks, 132 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: you know, the stadium sucks, the food sucks. I don't 133 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: I don't understand what people expect him to say. He's 134 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: the manager, He's supposed to defuse problems when they happen. 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: It makes sense for him to say, this is just 136 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: a bump in the road. That's exactly what I would 137 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: have said if I was the manager, even though I 138 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: might have been thinking, Man, our bullpen is trash. That's 139 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: the manager's job to be kind of a pr face 140 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: for the team. 141 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: What's going on, Derek? I just wanted to say, I 142 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: think all these games, especially when like yesterday here, are 143 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: honestly good things in the long run for the Yankees. 144 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: Here it shows, like just in general, that this team 145 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: does have deficiencies, and seems like to me anyway, that 146 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 2: every time they come up against a team that's, you know, 147 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: one of these contenders, a serious contender, the Orioles Dodgers, 148 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: they just I don't know, they just don't have something 149 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: that clicks quite the same. The bullpen doesn't look great, 150 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: our catching doesn't look amazing. Trevino just I don't know 151 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: what we're gonna do with him. Honestly, If he can't 152 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: throw anybody out, that's a problem. 153 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Yes, the loss is painful and it's embarrassing, but it 154 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: is kind of a blessing in disguise, if the Yankees 155 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: treat it that way, if they take a look, a 156 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: really good, hard introspective look at the team and say, 157 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: where are our deficialies. How do we match up against 158 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: the Dodgers, How do we match up against the Orioles? 159 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: What has been the issue? You can't just reply on 160 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Jodge and Soto. When those two guys are in the 161 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: lineup and clicking, I contend they're as dangerous and as 162 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: deadly as any team in Major League Baseball. But when 163 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: one of those guys is out, or one of those 164 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: guys isn't swinging the bat, well, you could pitch to 165 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 1: the rest of the lineup. Glabor Torres continues to stink 166 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: on ice at second base. We're getting no production out 167 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 1: of third base. It remains to be seen if Ben 168 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: Rice is gonna hit at first base. I think he will. 169 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: I think we might have solved that problem. He has 170 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: at least competitive at bats. He's got a good swing 171 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the bullpen. I think we just need 172 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: an overhaul. I think we need like two or three 173 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: new arms. Problem is a lot of these guys are 174 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: getting wear and tear on other teams. You know, even 175 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: Mason Miller has shown some chinks in the armor recently. 176 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: I think having Frost come back, having Travigno come back 177 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: both fresh will help. But yeah, the Yankees are in 178 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: a tough position right now. A lot of the guys 179 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: that they're going to be competing for in the trade 180 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: market are guys that the Orioles are also going to 181 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: be competing for in the trade market, and the Orioles 182 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: have more prospects to spend. 183 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 6: Hello, Derek, this is Hugh from bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Let's 184 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 6: be totally honest. We have the worst second basement in baseball, 185 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 6: no power at third base. First base is washed up. 186 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 6: I don't know what the hell happened to Trevino behind 187 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 6: the plate. He can't bounce the ball to second. Are 188 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 6: both fen stinks And we can't hit from six to 189 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 6: nine in the order similar to last year. Other than that, 190 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 6: we're a championship quality. 191 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 7: Other than that, Missus Kennedy, how was the parade to 192 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 7: talk about the Yankee decision on the rotation schedule as 193 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 7: Cole comes back. 194 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: You know, I feel like they kind of set Louis 195 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 4: Heel up for failure. 196 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 2: Putting Cole right in front of Lewis Heel is a 197 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,599 Speaker 2: bit of a head scratcher to me. 198 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 6: You know, on days that they face. 199 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 7: Teams two games in a row, you know, ninety seven 200 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 7: doesn't look as fast whenever you see it two days 201 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 7: in a row. 202 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: That's an interesting perspective. I hadn't really thought about that. 203 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: A lot of guys throw hard in this league, but yeah, 204 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: that might be a good idea to put maybe Nester 205 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: Cortes in between Garrett Cole and Louis Heel in the 206 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: second half. That's an interesting thought. But then you also 207 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: have to have Louis Heel pitching back to back with 208 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodon unless you split them up with Stroman. So 209 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: unless you're gonna reconfigure the whole rotation, you're gonna have 210 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: guys with velocity, you know, back to back at some point. 211 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: But that's an interesting thought. All Right, ladies and gentlemen, 212 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: I will be back tonight after the Yankees take on 213 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: the Braves. Tune in. We are closing in on forty 214 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: thousand subscribers. We are about one hundred and fifteen away, 215 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: so go ahead and subscribe. I'm hoping we can give 216 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: away a couple of Yankee tickets this weekend when we 217 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: get there. But whenever we do get there, we're gonna 218 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: give away some tickets. So get on board. I'll see 219 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: you next time.
