1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's it to feel you ohm to talk, 2 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: that's all. Today is Monday, August twenty sixth, and the 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Yankees were in the Nation's capital for the first of 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: a three game set with the Washington Nationals. Nester Cortes 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,920 Speaker 1: was on the mound. Glabor Torres was trying to stay 6 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: hot and Aaron Judge was trying to stay really hot. 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: My recap, your reactions coming up next. This is penstright Territory. 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: Welcome here. Who's got neil y'all? Si territory. Just when 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: they go away them, he pull me back. All right, 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Good win for the Yankees 11 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: to kick off the short road trip to Washington. And 12 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: since the Orioles are off tonight, the Yankees have extended 13 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: their lead in the American League's East to a full 14 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: two games, and that seventy eight and fifty four. Only 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have a better record, So you know, despite 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: all the ups and downs, here we are with a 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: little over a month to play, thirty games left at 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 1: this point, and the Yankees have a two game lead, 19 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: and pretty soon you can start talking about magic number. 20 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: I just pulled it up on the MLB Dot com 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: and the Yankees number is twenty nine, so still a 22 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: long way to go, but any combination of Yankees wins 23 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: and Orioles losses that equals twenty nine and you will 24 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: have a Yankees Al East champion. This year. We had 25 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: a leadoff home run from Glaber Torres. I'll talk more 26 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: about him in a second. He had a multi hit 27 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: game and seems to be getting hot at the right time. 28 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: We had Alex Verdugo crashing into walls and smoking line 29 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: drives all over the ballpark as he does his best 30 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: to hold off the Martian, hitting much better since he 31 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: switched to batting glove that he is not allergic to. 32 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge all over the place in center field, made 33 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: one of the best plays I've ever seen, stole the 34 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: first career home run from former Yankees prospect Andres Chaparro. 35 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: Judge also had his one thousandth career hit in this game. 36 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that during the recap segment, but yeah, Judge, 37 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: pretty solid baseball player. Jazz Chisen went deep for the 38 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: first time since coming off the injured list. Austin Wells 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: picked a runner off of second base and smoked a 40 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: solo home run. Anthony Volpi had three hits. He's back 41 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: up to two fifty and when you think about that, 42 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: realized that last season he hit two nine. So to 43 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: raise your batting average over forty points in one season, 44 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. Let's see if he can do it again 45 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: next year. Le May he had a couple of RBIs 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: and the Yankees take game one of the series. Talk 47 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: a little bit about Nester Cortes phenomenal Tonight another really 48 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: good outing, his third straight start in which he's gone 49 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: at least six innings and one run or less. In 50 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: his previous two outings, he tossed seven shutout innings on 51 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: three hits each time. Tonight he allowed four hits, and look, 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: he has been much better lately at being efficient. Just 53 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: eighty eight pitches tonight in six and two thirds innings 54 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,839 Speaker 1: probably could have gone longer. The sixth inning was pretty tough. 55 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: He had to pitch out of a bass loaded jams, 56 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: so a lot of times managers will consider, you know, 57 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: stressful pitches more than just the pitch count. His ERA 58 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: for the season back down to a very respectable three 59 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: point eight five one hundred and fifty four and a 60 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: third innings one hundred and forty two strikeouts, thirty one walks, 61 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: and the whip is down to one point one four. 62 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: He picked up win number eight on the season. He 63 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: is now eight and ten knock on wood. But it's 64 00:03:53,600 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: honestly impressive how healthy the Yankees pitchers have been this season. Rodin, Cortes, 65 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: Stroman all have been healthy and have been posting. Cole 66 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: missed the first couple of months, but he's been back 67 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: and throwing the ball well lately. And Louis heal minor 68 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: back injury, but for the most part he's been healthy. 69 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: So we have a chance to have our opening day rotation. 70 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: You know, obviously we lost Clark Schmidt. Everybody back and 71 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 1: healthy by the time the playoffs began. Clark Schmidt appeared 72 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: in a rehab game this weekend, so won't be long 73 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: for him. I want to talk about Labor Torres. We've 74 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: had some requests to discuss him because he has been 75 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: very quietly but getting louder each day. Heated back up 76 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: and he is beginning to establish himself in that leadoff spot. 77 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: He's had a really good August two ninety coming into tonight, 78 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: three point eighty two on base percentage coming into tonight, 79 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: and of course, he went deep in his final at 80 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: bat yesterday and then let off today's game with a 81 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: solo shot, his twelfth home run of the season. Over 82 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: his last nine games, the on base percentage has been 83 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: even better four thirty nine, and the batting average over 84 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: three hundred in those games at three zero three. I 85 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: know it's small sample sizes, but really encouraging for the Yankees, 86 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: who have not had a steady leadoff hitter since Volte 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: cooled off in May. Vope, by the way, stung the 88 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: ball pretty good tonight. We got to talk about his 89 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: helmet size. Also, it might just be as simple as 90 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: he's getting better pitches to hit in front of Soto 91 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: and judge with how well they've hit. You don't want 92 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: to walk three guys in a row, so they're gonna 93 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: throw him strikes, and he's capitalizing it, especially in the 94 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: beginning of the game. Like leading off the game, he's 95 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: done a really, really good job. Also, I feel like 96 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: his swing is finally leveled out a little bit more. 97 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: Even his home runs the last couple of nights have 98 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: been line drive, so keep it up. And also one 99 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: more thing before we get to the recap. Periodically, I 100 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: like to take a look at prospects in our system 101 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: and see how they're doing. And we haven't had a 102 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: lot of talk about Spencer Jones this year because he's 103 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: been kind of up and down. In spring training, he 104 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: went crazy and there was some talk about him maybe 105 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: even potentially making the team, although that was never a 106 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: realistic possibility. I thought that maybe he could make the 107 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: climb this year and eventually debut in the major leagues 108 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: at some point this season. That didn't happen. He's still 109 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 1: at double A, but he's been, you know, kind of 110 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: hot and cold. Three twenty average with a nine to 111 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: twenty two ops in April, and you're thinking, all right, 112 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: I see a big dog. But then one seventy average 113 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: with a five h two ops in May, so a 114 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: huge dip. But then he bounced back in June two 115 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: ninety six with a nine oh one ops, and then 116 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: had a crummy July two oh three with a six 117 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: eighty nine ops. So it's up and down, up and down, 118 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: and now in August he's good again to eighty eight 119 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: average with an eighth four ops. I know I'm throwing 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: a lot of numbers at you, but basically he's just 121 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: been hot and cold all month or all season month 122 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: to month. I don't think he's done enough to be 123 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: considered a favorite to make the team next year. In 124 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: spring training, he'll be twenty four years old. I'd imagine 125 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: he'll play winter ball. But the big issue for me 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: has been the strikeouts. One hundred and seventy three strikeouts 127 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: in four hundred and ten at bats. That's a forty 128 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: two percent strikeout rate. That is astronomical, and strikeouts typically 129 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: don't go downward as a player moves up levels and 130 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: faces more difficult pitching. So I'd be lying to you 131 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: if I said I'm confident that he can get to 132 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: the majors next season, as the kids would say he's 133 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: been mid this year. I'm still optimistic about his physical tools, 134 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: but he's got to get better at making contact. A 135 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: quick word from our sponsor and then we will get 136 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: on with the summer gets super busy and getting back 137 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: on a good fall workout routine needs to be easy 138 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: for me, with any time fitness being available anytime anywhere. 139 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: They make it easy to work on getting stronger and 140 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: more confident, all within my schedule.

All right, let's go, let's get 153 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: it going. All right, let's get to the nitty gritty here. 154 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: Yankees wasted no time in the first inning. As I mentioned, 155 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 1: labor Tors has been much more comfortable in the leadoff spot, 156 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: and for the second at bat in a row, he 157 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: went deep. See labor tour Ends has gone your games. 158 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Its glaber home run number twelve on the season for 159 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: Little labor Toreads, so about half as many as he's 160 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: had the last couple of years. So he's definitely had 161 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: a down year, but he's got a chance over the 162 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: final five weeks to turn things around and put up 163 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: at least some solid numbers, you know, I mean, if 164 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: you can get over to sixty. You know, he's got 165 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: to get eighteen points with let's say, fifteen to sixteen 166 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: home runs. That's not bad. But nice reception for Juan 167 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: Soto and his first at bat. I'm sure they'll be 168 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: booing him in a few days after he crushes some baseballs. 169 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: Over the next couple of nights, Top two Yankees threatened 170 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 1: and loaded the bases but could not dent home plate. 171 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: Bottom half long fly ball to left field, tremendous catch 172 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: by Alex Verdugo. As he was slamming into the outfield wall, 173 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: he kind of looked like he banged up his knee. 174 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: It also looked like he hurt his foot. Not sure 175 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: exactly what happened, but it looked similar to that play 176 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: that he made at Yankee Stadium against the Baltimore Orioles 177 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,599 Speaker 1: where he slammed into the centerfield wall. Remember he was 178 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: filling in in center and that was right around the 179 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: time his slump began. So he looked really hurt. But 180 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: he did have three hits tonight, so apparently it didn't 181 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: affect him that much. But sometimes you wake up the 182 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: next day and that thing is barking, So keep an 183 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: eye on that top four Volpie ripped his second hit 184 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: of the game, an absolutely scorching line drive off the 185 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: center field wall. Tonight. He had three balls I believe 186 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: over one hundred mile an hour exit velocity. I didn't 187 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: see what the last one was, but it was probably four. 188 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: That one just burned the center fielder. He came in 189 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: to score on a sackfly by DJ Lemayhew to make 190 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: it to nothing. Now, he did go in headfirst into 191 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: home plate. It was kind of a tight play. The 192 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: throw was offline, but he went in head first and 193 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: that made my blood pressure rise. Believable double play by 194 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: the Yankees in the bobbin of the fourth Aaron Judge 195 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: not only stole the first career home run from former 196 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: prospect Andres Chaparro, but had the presence of mind to 197 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: come up and hit the cutoff man Glaber Torres, who 198 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: threw a strike to first base and doubled off the runner. 199 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: Absolutely phenomenal play, one of the best plays I've ever seen. 200 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: If he's not the MVP, there needs to be an investigation. Also, 201 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: Andres Chaparo has a great swing and he's off to 202 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 1: a pretty good start with the Nationals. Good to see 203 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: him finally getting a chance. This year. In the minor leagues, 204 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: he hit three twenty eight with twenty three home runs. 205 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: That doesn't always mean that you're gonna be a great 206 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: major league hitter. Remember Hoy Park Yankees traded him for 207 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: play homes. He was leading the Triple A and Triple 208 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: A league and home runs and really never did anything 209 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: after getting called up. But looking at Chaparo, he looks hitterish. 210 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: Bottom five two errors on the same play from Jazz Chishom, 211 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: second time this week that he's had two errors in 212 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: one inning over the third base. Also, great throw by 213 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Austin Wells to pick off a runner at second base. 214 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: Was surprised to see Wells get the start against a 215 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: lefty for the Nationals, but I want him to continue 216 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: to get those reps even if he struggles. Also top six, 217 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: he was facing a righty and he was just leaving run. 218 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: Massive home run for Austin Wells. No doubter. Austin Wells 219 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: has a beautiful swing. It's compact. He's got that classic 220 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: swing where if you throw it down and in, he 221 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: can really punish it. And I haven't looked up these stats, 222 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: but I feel like he hits for more home runs 223 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: on the road, which is unusual for a Yankees left 224 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: handed hitter. You gotta think that eventually he's gonna, you know, 225 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: take off in Yankee Stadium. But he has got some serious, 226 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: serious pop. Tenth home run of the season, and I 227 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: think eventually he's gonna be a twenty plus home run guy. 228 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: When he hits him, they stay hit. Next batter was 229 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: Anthony Vopi. He ripped another line drive base hit, his 230 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: third hit of the game. He hustled into second base 231 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: on the bibble, but because his helmet popped off, he 232 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: smashed his head into CJ. Abrams And you know, I'm 233 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: sorry to say it, but it's time to get that 234 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: kid a helmet that fits head. Injuries are no joke. 235 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: We don't need him taking one off the coconut because 236 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: he thinks it's cute that the helmet flies off when 237 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: he's running around the bases. Let's get him a helmet 238 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: that fits bottom six. The Nationals loaded the bases, but 239 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: Nasty Nestor grabbed his hacky sack and dialed up two 240 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: straight strikeouts to get out of the inning unscathed. Beautiful 241 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: performance by Nestor today. Bottom seven Nationals finally got to 242 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: Nestor solo home run, but that was the only run 243 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: that got got off of him. Very nice performance. Top 244 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: eight Jazz Chisholm for the first time since coming off 245 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: the il, playing that Jazz. Rob Royants says, give OPI 246 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: a chin strap for the helmet. I like it. That's 247 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: a good idea. Jazz Chisholm home run number twenty one 248 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: on the season. Notable that he hit it off of 249 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: a lefty and I'm just happy that he is healthy. Right. 250 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: We had a scare. There was a chance, there was 251 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: a non zero chance that he could have missed the 252 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: rest of the season. He could have missed a bunch 253 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: of last season. You know, we dodged a boat there. 254 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: So good to uh, good to see Chisholm swinging the bat. Well. 255 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: NAT's got another run on a home run off of 256 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: Mark Lighter in the bottom of the eighth. I gotta say, 257 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: Mark Lighter not that impressed so far, not that impressed 258 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: at all. Hits a lot of bats. Top nine Aaron 259 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: Judge smoked one to right field for base hit number 260 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: one thousand of his big league career. Yankees hang on 261 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: to win, Clay Holmes shuts it down win number seventy eight, 262 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: and as I mentioned at the top of the broadcast, 263 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: now leading the American League East by two games. I 264 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: didn't put Neestra's line in here. Let me go ahead 265 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: and update that for you, because that was just a 266 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: forgetful thing on my part. I was so tuned into 267 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: the game tonight. Typically when I watched the game, I 268 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: watch it on my computer here, but I was watching 269 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: on the the main big screen in the other room 270 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: because I can't get the massin on my computer. So 271 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: even with the even with the nord V, it doesn't 272 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: work out. So Yanks win number seventy eight. Who we 273 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: got for the belt? Mister nasty Nestor Cortes could have 274 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: could have given it to Vopie three for four with 275 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: a couple of stolen bases in a double could have 276 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: gone to Verdugo. Great play in the outfield, three hits, 277 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: both those guys. Honorable mentions. Judge with the amazing catch 278 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: that turned into a double play, honorable mention to him. 279 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Also his one thousandth hit and a walk. Labor Tors 280 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: with the lead off home run, obviously, but Nester Cortes 281 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: with six and two thirds innings of one run ball 282 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: really just give didn't give the Nationals a chance? All right, 283 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: So let's take some comments here. Richard says it's the 284 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: wrong take. Well, it's my show, so I get to 285 00:16:54,240 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: give the belt out to whoever I want to. Let's 286 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: see here. Wayne Patrick says, don't mess with the chemistry 287 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: of a team other than Lighter. I'm not sure what 288 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: he what you're uh, what you're getting at. You remove 289 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: Lighter and keep everybody else. Well, the rosters are gonna expand, 290 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: so we're gonna be adding some players no matter what. 291 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: Uh Yankee Basher wants to go co Belts Richard. Richard 292 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 1: says that Judge should have got it because he robbed 293 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: two extra base hits. I hear you, I hear you. 294 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: Six and two thirds of one run baseball is an 295 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: outstanding performance by Nester. Look, this is a fun thing. 296 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. The belt has literally no impact on 297 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: anyone's lives. It's just something fun that we do at 298 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: the end of the podcast to kind of wrap things up. 299 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: Uh and Honestly, it doesn't mean anything, right. I mean, 300 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: Judge may have had more war in this game, I 301 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: don't know, but I gave it to Nestor because he 302 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: threw the ball really, really well, and starting pitching is 303 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: always crucial when you, you know, trying to win a 304 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 1: ball game. All right, let's take a few more and 305 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: wrap it up. Reminder to call into the voicemail seven 306 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: nine sixty eight. We'll do a voicemail show. I'm hoping 307 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: to do one tomorrow.
