1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Just going to talk. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 2: That's all. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: All right. Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Winter meetings are here, 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: and so is Frankie Baseball. How you doing, my man? 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 3: I'm doing well, Derek. 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 4: It is gonna be with you here as we get 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 4: ready for the Winter meetings and what we hope to 8 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 4: be a very productive winter. 9 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 3: Meetings for the New York Yankees. 10 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 4: Although he's throwing the reports we've had over the last 11 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 4: few days, I don't think we feel too confident about that. 12 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 1: What did you think of that whole Michael cashpiel where 13 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: he's like they might not do anything. I don't buy it. 14 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I mean even do you know how upset 15 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: the fan base would be? Like fire Cashman Night would 16 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: be on Opening Day this year? 17 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 3: It would. 18 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 4: I mean, the Yankees have had no problem, you know, 19 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 4: upsetting us here recently. O. Yeah, let's put Anthony Balpy back. 20 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 4: Let's bring him back for another year? 21 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: Sure? Why not? 22 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 5: Uh? 23 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: Yeah? 24 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 3: I can't imagine. 25 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 4: I can't imagine the Yankees going through an entire offseason 26 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 4: and not getting and just staying putt. 27 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 3: Now. 28 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 4: I don't think they're gonna go after the big guys 29 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 4: like Tucker or Bellinger. I'm Still I'm getting a most 30 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 4: got to go on if they're going to resign him. 31 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 4: But I can't imagine they're gonna do. They might just 32 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 4: get like a bullpen guy with a four RA and 33 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 4: just call it a day. But I hope it's a 34 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 4: little bit more than that. But again, I'm not feeling 35 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 4: do confident. These latest reports are not make me feel encouraged. 36 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 4: I mean, the Yankees thoughts of show it kind of 37 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 4: made it feel like, hey, temper your expectations, folks, and 38 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 4: that's not what we want to hear. 39 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Yankees don't typically do that. They try and 40 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: hype up interest. So Jazz, let's talk about Jazz Chisholm. 41 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: There's been some talk about the potential of a jazz 42 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: Chism trade the last few days, and I wanted to 43 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: kind of put up his numbers and make the case 44 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: that we should hang on to jazz. Uh. First of all, 45 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: thirty thirty, there's not a lot of second basement in 46 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: baseball that could do that. Four point two Baseball Reference 47 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: war this year best of the best of his career. Yeah, 48 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: he still strikes out a bit, he still gets injured 49 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: from time to time, but you know, he played one 50 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty games this year. He'll still make the 51 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: bonehead plays because I think he's just one of these 52 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: guys that is he's the moment. He's just like having fun, 53 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I don't know if he's 54 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: necessarily thinking strategically with a high baseball IQ, but he's 55 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: an athlete and he's fun and ultimately, this is like 56 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: the entertainment business, right, And I like watching Jazz play. 57 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: Even when he throws one away, it's kind of exciting 58 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 1: because you want to see like the people scatter like 59 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: It's like it's like when you watch one of those 60 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: planes like an air show, and then you see the 61 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: guy you eject and you're like, oh, people better get 62 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: out of the way. That's going down, baby. 63 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: No. 64 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: I like Jazz chism, and I know he had some 65 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: tough moments in the playoffs, but he's somebody that's getting 66 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: interest in trade talks. You're seeing him listed and we'll 67 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: go through the spot track list in a few minutes 68 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: of like players who could be traded. He's one of 69 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: the guys on the Yankees, along with Anthony Volpi, that 70 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: is listed as a potential trade piece. So what do 71 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: you think should we trade Jazz to what we can get. 72 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: Should we hang on to Jazz and you know, ride 73 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: out his final year? Should we extend him? What you think? 74 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: I think you got to ride him out and see 75 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: what happens. I don't understand. Look, I get it. As 76 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: you mentioned, he's going to do some dumb things. 77 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 4: It's kind of like how maybe it's a little unfair 78 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: to compare him to this player, but kind of like 79 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: how Manny with the Red Sox, Like you knew he 80 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,119 Speaker 4: was gonna get production and then he's gonna do many 81 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 4: things where all of a sudden, he's like, you know, 82 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: stealing a throw off whatever that play he did where 83 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: the guy threw from wet field and he caught it 84 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 4: for no reason. Yeah, for no reason, Like for no reason. Yeah, 85 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 4: so he and I don't think Jazz webuld do something 86 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: like that. But yea, Jazz is going to have his 87 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: occasional stupid moments, much like a lot of guys on 88 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 4: this team. 89 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: But yeah, that kind of productivity. 90 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 4: Thirty one home runs, two forty two bating average eighty 91 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: RBIs a four point two war this season. 92 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 3: I'm not willing to get rid of him yet. 93 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 4: Now, if we get to July and the Yankees are 94 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: out of it, then yeah, you move on from him 95 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: and see what you can get. 96 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: But as for now, I'm I'm giving him another shot. 97 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: He's such a spark plug to this team. 98 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: You look at his stats, you look at his advanced 99 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 4: stats that we have here on stackcast, here on the screen, 100 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: and yeah, you look at he's just his bro already, 101 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: great bats to bed. 102 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, strikes out at. 103 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: Maybe too much at times, but you know what, he's 104 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: a great he's a great place. 105 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: He's a great second base. 106 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 4: When he was one of the highlights first this past 107 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: year where you know, there were a lot of times 108 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: where we could use some other guys step up, and 109 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 4: he was delivering. 110 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll make it again. 111 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: Occasional dumb play, have a dumb robbery once at all. 112 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: All right, Franky, I'm gonna crutch you Offty, I'm gonna 113 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: stop you right there because because because I want to, 114 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: I want to land the plane here on Jazz a 115 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: little bit. We're looking at these these metrics. I see 116 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: a couple of things that stand out. One he's either 117 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: really good or really bad. You know, you do you 118 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 1: notice that like his batting run value, his base running 119 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: run value. All that stuff is very high, like barrel 120 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: rate very high. But then you will get expected batting average, 121 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: His fifth percentage to strike out percentage, his squared A 122 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: percentage all very low. His launch angle sweet spot is low. 123 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: I wonder if that has something to do with the torpedo. 124 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: But I thought that he I thought that he made 125 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: some strides last year when he decided, you know what, 126 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop laying at one hundred percent balls to 127 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: the wall constantly and just kind of let my athleticism 128 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: take over. And he said, just kind of swing at 129 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: seventy percent, like, you know, stay within himself a little bit. 130 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: The problem I have with trading a guy like Jazz 131 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: is it would not shock me if he goes forty 132 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: five forty five next year with a new team. Right, 133 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who seems like he's 134 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: getting better. Like you look at the numbers. The last 135 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: three years, the OPS has gone from seven to sixty 136 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: one up to eight thirteen. He went from nineteen home 137 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: runs to thirty one. The batting average has dipped a 138 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: little bit. He went from two fifty to two fifty 139 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: six and then down to two forty two. But if 140 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: you look at that slow start, and then after he 141 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: ditched the torpedo bat for a while, like he hit 142 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: much better. He's always been kind of a man without 143 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: a position, right. He came up as a shortstop. He 144 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: wasn't good as a shortstop. They moved him to second, 145 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: they moved him to center. He comes to the Yankees, 146 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: he plays third. Wasn't the greatest third baseman, but I 147 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 1: didn't think he was terrible like when I when I 148 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: would watch him, his throws were obviously a little erratic 149 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: because he had trouble kind of with the range finder 150 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: there and he would he would, but that that continued 151 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: at second base. So I'm not sure that like moving 152 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: him to second really changed all that much. Ryan McMahon, 153 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: I know he's good defensively at third base, but he 154 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: doesn't offer the offense. So taking all of that into account, 155 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: where are you at? Are you still? Are you still 156 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: on let's hang on to him or or or do 157 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: you think maybe get something for him before he we 158 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: lose him as a free agent. 159 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: No, absolutely, you keep him. You keep him this year 160 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 4: and again in July. If we're out of it, then 161 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 4: you move on from him. But for now, his offensiveroductivity, 162 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 4: and as you mentioned, it seems like he's getting better 163 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 4: with every year. You hang on to him this year 164 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,559 Speaker 4: and see what he can do, and hopefully he's a 165 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: big part of a World Series roster first next year. 166 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 4: But we still got a I got questions on that. 167 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: But I'm feeling good about Jaz. 168 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: Let's keep him going. 169 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: So there's been a lot of other names dropped out 170 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: there in trade talk and this is from spot Track, 171 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: so this is not Derek and Frankie just throwing names 172 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: out there. These are guys who are listed as potentially 173 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: being on the trade block over the next several days. 174 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 1: With the Winter meetings kicking off. You know, we've got 175 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: everybody getting into town today. It's really gonna be the 176 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: next few days that most of the action happens. So 177 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis is the guy who strikes me is very 178 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: interesting because you know, he's a superstar. He's twenty six, 179 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: he's got big right handed power. He's a defensive specialist 180 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: out there in the outfield too. I mean, he's a 181 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: good player. He's one of the few guys I would 182 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: not mind trading Dominguez for. I love Jason Dominguez, but 183 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: I think Tatis. I mean, he's already the superstar that 184 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,239 Speaker 1: we would hope Dominguez would become. And obviously you're paying 185 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: for that twenty plus million, but you know, we know 186 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: Cashman likes a deal. And as Michael K pointed out 187 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: on his show last week or maybe the week before that, 188 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: it would be kind of a what are your thoughts 189 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: on Tattoos? 190 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 4: That's the one name as I look here at all 191 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: these names here, that's the one that just jumped out 192 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 4: to me. I feel like, if the Yankees aren't going 193 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 4: to sign anybody off this offseason, if they trade for Tattias, 194 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: I feel like that'll get the fan base off their 195 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 4: back for the most part, even if it means parting 196 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 4: with the mingas. As you mentioned, superstar has that just 197 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: that swagger about him that you know you can tell, 198 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 4: like I remember a couple years ago when he came 199 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: back after the whole PD things, and yeah, we'll get 200 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 4: over the whole oh it starts, we'll get up. 201 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: We'll forget that very quickly. 202 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: If he comes over here in pit stripes and remember 203 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 4: how like people would boo him and he would like 204 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: be dancing or like just joking around with him like 205 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 4: he doesn't care. He has that care free attitude about 206 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 4: him that you love him if he's on your team, 207 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: and you hate him if he's against you. So I 208 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: would love to add him. It'd be a great edition, 209 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: I feel like for the Bronx Bombers. And yeah, I 210 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 4: think it would would give him the swagger that along 211 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 4: with jazz that I feel like this team could could 212 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 4: use a little bit more of. So out of all 213 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: these guys in yeah, there's some good players here, but 214 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 4: Tatis is the one that jumped out to me. 215 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm very interested. I hope something happens there, but 216 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: if it doesn't, there's some other good names on this list. 217 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: Brandon Lowe, I mean, I don't know if the Rays 218 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: would want to trade him in division. You're Josh Young, 219 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: third baseman, right handed hitter, has some power YONDI Diaz, 220 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: somebody I've liked for a while. And then you got 221 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: some pictures on this list. You got Mitch Keller from 222 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, we know that Cashman likes to deal with 223 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: the pirates. Maybe they'll throw in Skenes is like just 224 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: to throw in you know, just please, you know, you know, 225 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: just you don't you don't want this guy, Come on, 226 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: you know you still how much you over the hell? Yeah? Yeah, 227 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: Louis Castillo, somebody Yankees could have traded vault before a 228 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: couple of years ago chose not to do it. Alec 229 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: Boem is somebody that we've got a voicemail about that somewhere. 230 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: Hang on, I think this might be it. 231 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 2: What's going on, Derek, So we kind of have a 232 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: feeling that probably Cabairo is going to get the bulk 233 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: of the play time at short Jazz at second MC third, 234 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 2: and that's going to be mostly the infield. I assume 235 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:11,359 Speaker 2: Ben Rice at first until Vopie comes back. Uh, outfield's 236 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 2: pretty much set. I'd be open for sure to get 237 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: in a guy like Steve Kwan, that contact and gold 238 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: glove defense plays man, and would love to have somebody 239 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 2: like that batting right ahead of Judge. Holy moly, that 240 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 2: would be a heck of a one two and a 241 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: gold glove in left field, gold glove in right field, 242 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: that would be That'd be pretty awesome. But the main 243 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: reason I'm calling is I just want to hear your 244 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: opinion on this. I think, besides Kwan, the Yankee should 245 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 2: really focus on maybe getting a guy like Emi at 246 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 2: least one starter, and in really bulking up this bullpen 247 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: in years past, I'm kinda tired of getting left handed 248 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,599 Speaker 2: left hand Are we reverse splits left hand specialists that 249 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 2: are righty. That's just annoying. Let's get some good left 250 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: handed pitchers in the bullpen. Let's get some good solid, 251 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 2: uh righties in the pen. If they want to keep 252 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 2: Bednar's closer, that's fine. They're probably banking on a dove 253 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: all bounced. 254 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: Back, all right, So I'm stopping right there. I thought 255 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: he got into bone, but that's somebody else must have. 256 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 1: I got my calls mixed up. So one Stephen Kwan. 257 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: He does mention that there's been a lot of interest 258 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: in Stephen Kwan from Yankees fans. He is not somebody 259 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: that I would trade Domingaz for. I might trade Spencer 260 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Jones for him, like if you run out of Yah, 261 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: because I'm not sure Spencer Jones is ever going to 262 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: really hit in the major leagues. But I don't want 263 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: to block Dominguez with Kwan, and I know he's a 264 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: decent fit. But the moment that Trent Grisham came back, 265 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: I think that kind of ruled the Yankees out for Kwan, 266 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: because if you're getting another outfielder like Kwan doesn't really 267 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: move the needle all that much, you know, over Domingaz, 268 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: I think fact UHD Vegas might produce more. You know, 269 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: obviously a second full year, I think power will come 270 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: around and you know, he might hit two seventy two eighty, 271 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: might drive in more runs. Not as good defensive we 272 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: obviously as Kwan. But yeah, I think that if they 273 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: go out and get an outfielder at this point, it's 274 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: Bellinger or it's Tucker. 275 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. 276 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 4: Obviously Bellinger knew how good he was for us last year. Tucker, 277 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 4: I think he's gonna have a bounce back year here 278 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: in twenty six. Yeah, I think the door shut on. 279 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 4: Kwan would have loved to have had him, but I 280 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 4: think it's too much that I'm looking here at this 281 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 4: West again. I was interested in code I Senga's name 282 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: because he was really good before his injury last year 283 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 4: and then he struggled after that. If he comes back healthy, 284 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 4: I think it could be we definitely need starting pitching 285 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: and he could definitely improve that for us here, So 286 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 4: I wouldn't That's another thing I think think you should 287 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: look after. 288 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: So let's take a look at his numbers. I mean 289 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: the he went seven and six with a three point 290 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: zero two ERA twenty two games started. I think the 291 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: issue for Sega has been his health really. I mean, 292 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: he's had some injury issues twenty twenty four. Obviously this 293 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: year he missed about ten starts, but his off speed, 294 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: so he's still got that ghost splitter or ghost fork 295 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: or whatever they call it. I'd like guys with unique pitches. 296 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: I think that's always you know, like a different look 297 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: for hitters is a good thing. And if you look 298 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: at his metrics, I mean he's average or above average 299 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: in most things. Like he's like a consistent pitcher. So yeah, 300 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: I kind of like the idea. I don't know that 301 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: the Mets would trade him to the Yankees. We have 302 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: seen guys going in the other direction. What do you 303 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: think of a Devin Williams to the Mets. I think 304 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: you texted me. I think I think you're actually how 305 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: I find out you just texted he's their problem now? 306 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's got to be Devin Williams. 307 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: Yes, I was. I was so thankful. I will say, 308 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: what is it with? 309 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 4: And I'm not trying to joke about the Mets here 310 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: because I love to do that, but I'm de exerious. 311 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 4: What is it with the Mets wanting to get former 312 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: Yankees because we've seen this now time and time and 313 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 4: time again. Maybe the only thing I could think of 314 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: is maybe they think, all right, well, we know this 315 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 4: guy can handle New York because he's for the Yankees, 316 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 4: so let's bring him over here. 317 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 3: But there is a long list of guys. 318 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 4: Who started off in the Pinstripes and then come on 319 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 4: over to the Queens, so I don't and yet Devin One, 320 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 4: who's just the latest one of them, I don't mind 321 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 4: seeing him go, although I will say I do not 322 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: agree with people. I've never understood people dming athletes and 323 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 4: and him complaining about that on Instagram. I had no 324 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 4: problem with that, because, like what, I'm fine he left 325 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 4: your team. He's in a bas baseball player. He's not 326 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 4: a bad guy as far as we know. Like, why 327 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 4: are you like dming him? You know about how happy 328 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 4: we are that you're off the taking, Like I don't 329 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: get that. So I'm glad I was happy that he 330 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: lashed out at that because I think that's fine. But yeah, 331 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 4: I will not miss seeing him on the team next year, 332 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: and we'll see what the We'll see if he turns 333 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: around with the Mets, but I think it's unlikely. 334 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll still have somebody to give us plenty 335 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: of heart attacks. So people are having me yeah, yeah, 336 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: people are asking the chat about Kazuma Akamoto, the Japanese 337 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: third baseman slash first basement slash outfielder. I want to 338 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: share his numbers here in Japan. This is a guy who, 339 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: you know, a legit hitter. Last year between two teams, 340 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: he hit three twenty two, he had fifteen home runs 341 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: only seventy seven games. But you know, this is the 342 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: guy who the year before that twenty seven home runs, 343 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: year before that forty one home runs. He's a career 344 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: two seventy four hitter. I haven't seen much of his 345 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: defensive highlights. I've heard people say that he's versatile or whatever. 346 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: I always like bringing in Japanese guys, but I'm much 347 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: more skeptical of Japanese hitters than I am Japanese pitchers, 348 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: like I feel like Japanese pitchers have translated much better 349 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: than Japanese hitters. 350 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 4: What are your thoughts that is fair with the exception 351 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: of Show I feel like but he was. 352 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: Matsui was pretty good, but even his power numbers went 353 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: way down. 354 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and yeah, to compare any Japanese hitter, to 355 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 4: Otani is laughable at this point because he's just so 356 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 4: far twas over all of them. 357 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 358 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: Again, I have not checked out this guy, but sure, 359 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 4: if he has the offensive numbers, I wouldn't mind bringing him. 360 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 3: We got we got it. 361 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 4: You know, it's such a great place for young talent 362 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 4: to develop that I feel like we gotta and it's 363 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 4: worked out well for us as in the past with 364 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 4: Mattsoi and with Tanaka, I feel like, let's try it again. 365 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 3: You know, I don't think I could hurt us so well. 366 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna cost a lot of. 367 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 4: Money, but these Japanese guys, for the most part, it 368 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: seems like they're worth it, so I wouldn't mind going 369 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 4: after him. 370 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 1: We got another couple of calls. 371 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 5: Here, Hey, Derek, Yankees outfield options. If you're gonna go 372 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 5: with Tucker or you're gonna go with Bellinger, you already 373 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 5: have Grisham and Judge at least one more spot. Kind 374 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 5: of as a fourth outfielder, you gotta trade Jones or 375 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 5: Domengez if if Tucker Bellinger is the way out, what 376 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 5: do you think Spencer Jones to the Phillies. 377 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: For Alec Bohm. 378 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 5: I'm not even sure if I like it, but the 379 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 5: Yankees could definitely as an offensive upgrade at third. Spencer 380 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 5: Jones just fits the Phillies archetype so perfectly in my head. 381 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 5: He's a masher. He's gonna strike out two hundred plus 382 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 5: times a year. It's a rental. I'm not sure how 383 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 5: the price lines up, but a package for bom headlined 384 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 5: by Spencer Jones, what do you think? I have no 385 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 5: idea if I even like it, thank you well. 386 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Not a good base runner, not a good fielder. He 387 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: definitely has some offensive upside. You know he's gonna hit 388 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: to eighty seven, hit for a ton of power. His 389 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: power number has been trending down the last three years. 390 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago he had twenty homers, and 391 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: then last year down to eleven, fifteen and twenty twenty four. 392 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: He also, I remember, had some issues where I guess 393 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: it was like he had to be disciplined and so forth. 394 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: But the metrics not bad. I mean expected batting average 395 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: in the ninetieth percentile squared up percentage in the ninety 396 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: third percentile with percentage, he's like, he's like a contact 397 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: hitting third baseman who doesn't feel very good. I don't 398 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: hate it for Spencer Jones because I personally don't think 399 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: that Spencer Jones is going to add a lot of 400 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: value to the Yankees next year. I think if you 401 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: sign one of the outfielders and you trade Jones to 402 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: Platune Boom with McMahon, I think that could actually be 403 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: a pretty decent platoon situation. Uh, and then you free 404 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: up the outfield for you know what, it's Tucker or whatever, 405 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: and then you know, Domingus is a fourth outfielder. I 406 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: don't hate it, but the problem is he's not a 407 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: good defensive outfielder, right, so you know you can't really 408 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: using that much against lefties. It's it's it's just the 409 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: roster construction kind of sucks. Man. 410 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 4: It's been that way man. Just thinking about Domingos here 411 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 4: and yeah, I don't know. I'm kind of iffy on 412 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 4: Boom too, because he has power number, which we know 413 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 4: the Yankees love. They're down, but is as batting averagella 414 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 4: went up in the past couple of years. So I'm 415 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 4: not against it, but I don't love it. He's not 416 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 4: the I don't know if it's the kind of person 417 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 4: that I would trade Domingos for. I just wish the 418 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 4: Magus was a better fielder, man. I feel like so 419 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 4: many our issues would just be better solved. You're just better 420 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 4: in the outfield. But it's just a concern there. But yeah, 421 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 4: I still believe in him. I still want to We 422 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 4: still believe in him. Don't want to get rid of 423 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 4: him yet. 424 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: And not for Bom, maybe for Tomcer. All right, last 425 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: thing we got to talk about. Donnie Baseball has a 426 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: chance to get into the Hall of Fame. There's gonna 427 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 1: be an announcement tonight at seven point thirty. There's a 428 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: group of sixteen former players that make this vote every year, 429 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: and it's like it's called like the Modern Era Committee. 430 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: I want to give you a matting Lee's case here. 431 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Three zero seven career hitter. His career was shortened by 432 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: the back injury. He had two hundred and twenty two 433 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: home runs, but he was the eighty four Batting Champion, 434 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: He was the eighty five MVP, had nine Gold Gloves 435 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: from eighty four to eighty nine, he was best hitter 436 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: in baseball three twenty seven average, nine h two ops. 437 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: I remember there was a lot of talk. I was 438 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: very young at that, like during that point of you know, 439 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: like I was six years old in nineteen eighty nine, 440 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: so I didn't get to really watch watch him. But 441 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: there was this rivalry between him and Wade Boggs because 442 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,199 Speaker 1: he was like the contact hitting lefty for Boston at 443 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: the same time. Uh, And you know, I think it's 444 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: pretty cool that they ended up becoming teammates and making 445 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: it to the playoffs together. In ninety five. Don Mattingly 446 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: was actually the first Yankee I got to see hit 447 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 1: a home run in person. I had been to probably 448 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: i'd say half a dozen Yankee games with that point. 449 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: We used to go once a year when I was 450 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: really young, and I remember one time we were walking 451 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: out and Wade Boggs hit a home run, like as 452 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: we were going into the parking lot and you heard 453 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: the big like wou the air raids sound and everybody 454 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: goes crazy. So we just missed one. And then the 455 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,239 Speaker 1: next year Donnie was red hot during the summer. Was 456 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: it was like July, he had about four or five 457 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: home runs in a week, and that was pretty much 458 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: all the home runs he hit all year, and right 459 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: right towards the end of that streak, we went to 460 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium and he hit one just over the wall, 461 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: and that was the first home run I got to 462 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: see in person. So I always remember that he was 463 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: the epitome of class. He was just a, you know, 464 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: a workman type of player, worked hard, hit a ton 465 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: in the cage, and that might have been to his 466 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: detriment with the back. But what do you think, do 467 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: you think he gets in. Do you think they're going 468 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: to finally unlock the key to the Hall of Fame 469 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: for Donnie Baseball? 470 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 4: I would love it because and I have such a 471 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: affinity for Donny Baseball, even though he never saw him play. 472 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 3: I mean he stopped playing. 473 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: I was three. 474 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 4: I wasn't even three years away from being born when 475 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 4: he stopped playing, So I have no attachment done. 476 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 3: I didn't watch it by butt. 477 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 4: I I have such a warm feeling towards him because 478 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 4: the fact that in the eighties, when the Yankees were struggling, 479 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 4: and I guess they weren't like the worst team in baseball, 480 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 4: but they weren't making the playoffs. You know, George was 481 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 4: being George and you had to be kicked out of 482 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 4: baseball When all of that that drama was happening, Donnie 483 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 4: was the one consistent and he was so good for 484 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: us for so many years at the Yolk on screen. 485 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 4: Here here the nine goal gloves, Batting Champion, eighty four al 486 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 4: MVP and eighty five. I think he has some Ale 487 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: records for like most consecutive games with a home runner. 488 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: So I think he had like five you mentioned like 489 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 4: four or five games in a row with the home run. 490 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: I think he has the Grand Slums record in one season. 491 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 4: I would love to see him get in, but I 492 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: think twelve out of sixteen votes, and it's not like 493 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 4: it seems like if his offensive numbers were a little 494 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 4: bit better they pushed him in there. I mean, you 495 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 4: get two twenty two runs, twenty one hundred hits. It 496 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 4: doesn't seem like that's enough. Yeah, the nine goal gloves 497 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 4: is great. 498 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: What you were saying, Well, think about it this way. 499 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: You know, Kirby Puckett was similar, He had similar numbers 500 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: and his career got shortened by glaucoma and he got in. 501 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: So I think maddingly kind of fits into that same 502 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: same category as Pucket, where you know, probably was one 503 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: of the better players in the game, but just physical 504 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: stuff really kept him from, you know, reaching that next level. 505 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: But I'm rooting for him. I mean, it doesn't hurt. 506 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: It's the Hall of Fame, it's not the Hall of Stats. Right. 507 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: There was nobody, no baseball player more famous than Don 508 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: Maddingly in the mid eighties, especially in New York. So 509 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,199 Speaker 1: you know, I think that. And I say that as 510 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: somebody who was like one or two years old during 511 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: his peak, right, So you know this is the stories 512 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: I hear. So if you say, oh, Keithez or you 513 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: know whatever, whatever, who gives a shit? Donnie Baseball was 514 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: the man. 515 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 3: He was awesome. 516 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 4: And I was actually thinking about Keif because Keith is 517 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 4: kind of the same thing, which a great defensive player 518 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 4: for the Mats and hasn't gotten in the big question 519 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have even more than Donnie? Is are Bonsa 520 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 4: Cumman's gonna get in? I say no, I think they should. 521 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 4: We've talked about this. You know, their stats and everything 522 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 4: they've meant to the game. It's overwhelming. But I don't 523 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 4: think they're getting into you. 524 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: I don't think they're ever getting in. I don't think 525 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: they're ever getting in unless things change, like in the 526 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: minds of the writers, you know, fairly quick. They might 527 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: get in after they're dead, you know what I mean, 528 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: Like like they made Pete Rose eligible. Like I agree 529 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: with the the take that I guess it was maybe 530 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: was Manford who came up with this, who said basically that, 531 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: And this is something I felt for a long time, 532 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: like a lifetime band should end when the lifetime ends, right, 533 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: rather than be just permanently ineligible. I think it's possible 534 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: that they put Bonds in Clemmens and those guys in posthumously, 535 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, in thirty years, forty years, when they're unfortunately 536 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: not gonna probably be around to enjoy. 537 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: It, which is a bummer I feel like, because again, 538 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 4: whatever you say about Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, their talent, 539 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 4: their their impact on the game is extraordinary. And I 540 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 4: feel like, I mean, if you're gonna put Bud Seal 541 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,239 Speaker 4: like in the Hall of Fame, yeah, then what are 542 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 4: we doing? 543 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 3: What are we doing here? 544 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 4: I mean, this guy oversaw the whole thing and look 545 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 4: the other way, but we're gonna ignore. That's bother me 546 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 4: when I went to Cooperstown a couple of years ago, 547 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 4: just thinking, like, man, all sea legs in here, and 548 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 4: yet all these great players or not in It's it's. 549 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: The other way, all right, ladies and gentlemen.
