1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: One to cook. 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 2: That's all. 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: All right. Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back. Yankees win this 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,119 Speaker 1: one four to two. They take the first game of 5 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: the series against the Texas Rangers. That was more stressful 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: than it needed to be, and Richard lisas Bednar's villa 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 1: was down. I noticed that too, interesting, But that was 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: a tight one. The Rangers certainly made it interesting, but 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: ultimately the Yankees prevail. Listen guys. Every year, when the 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: Yankees go to certain cities or certain ballparks, I have 11 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: a little tradition, a little small tradition, and I like 12 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: to tell you something about the city, about the stadium, 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, about the general experience, or the little regional 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: nightmare that we have to deal with. Like when the 15 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: Yankees play in Seattle, I usually remind you that a 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: truly unsettling number of serial killers come from the Pacific Northwest. 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: When they play in Tampa, I remind you that no 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: serious professional telecast should ever include the sentence that ball 19 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: hit a catwalk and is in play. And whenever the 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: Yankees playing Texas, I am obligated, by law and by 21 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: my own conscience to remind you that the center field 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: camera at that ballpark is the worst in baseball, the 23 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: absolute worst. It is too far away, it is too 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: high up. Feels like I'm watching the game from a 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: damn traffic helicopter. But thankfully, only a couple more games 26 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and then we're back in the Bronx. Good night for 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge, the captain, who went three for three, a 28 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: couple of doubles and home run number eleven to support 29 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: Max Freed, who picks up his fourth win of the year. 30 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: He's four and one with a two point nine Era 31 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: Lighter gets the l and Yankees now nineteen and ten, 32 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: and tomorrow, if they win, there'll be ten games over 33 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: five hundred. Ben Rice also went deep tonight to run 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: Jack and it was a beautiful shot opposite field, and 35 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: he tied Aaron Judge for the team leading home runs 36 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: for about five seconds and that was it. But anyway, 37 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: good night for the Yanks and a couple other things. 38 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: You guys absolutely crushed it with the views on the 39 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: morning Coffee video this morning, thirteen thousand views in counting. 40 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 1: So if you guys are digging those, I'm gonna keep 41 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: doing them, doing more of them. So call in tonight. 42 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: We'll get your voicemails tomorrow and a lot of people 43 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: have requested, no Strae Derek, that we bring that back, 44 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: So we'll include that as part of it tomorrow. But 45 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get to the nitty grittet. Listen, guys, 46 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: this was closer than it needed to be. That got 47 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: tight there in the ninth inning. I'm not gonna lie. 48 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: I was sweating because, you know, my general vibe was 49 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: that we were gonna win the game. I was wearing 50 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: the fun hat. I was ready to rock and roll. 51 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: And then once they put the time run on base, 52 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: and then there was that play that you know Jazz, 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, he took off the kisser and I was thinking, oh, man, 54 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't it just be appropriate to give up a three 55 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: run home run right here? But thankfully we were able 56 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: to get it done. Season debut of Jason Dominga is 57 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: nice job. He had a base knock. He was one 58 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: for four tonight, Jose Cabiro, he got picked off again 59 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: and he got thrown out at uh not trying to 60 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: steal twice? Enough enough with that? What was it that 61 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: Billy Bean said in Moneyball? I paid again on first, 62 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: not get thrown out at second. Come on, there's a 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: time to be aggressive, and there's a time to be smart. Listen, guys, 64 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: he's just getting thro out too much. He's got to 65 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: tone it down. It is not good to steal forty 66 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: five bases if you get caught twenty five times. He 67 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: has got to do a better job flat out. Ben 68 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Rice had an interesting inning where he caught three pop 69 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: ups the first base. I can't ever remember that happening 70 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: in all the baseball I've watched, and then hit a 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: big opposite field two run home run. Two done. That's 72 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: a long win. Tenth big fly of the year would 73 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: have been a three run shot if Cabal Arrow hadn't 74 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: gotten picked off, although I'm sure Michael k would call 75 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: that the fallacy of the predetermined outcome. Aaron Judge, what 76 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: a night for the captain. You know. He followed up 77 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: with a home run of his own to retake the lead, 78 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: his eleventh of the year. He's got the average over 79 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: two fifty now after a three for three night, He's 80 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: homered in back to back games. Could it be? Could 81 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 1: it be that he's finally getting hot, and could it 82 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: be that he might finally get his first belt of 83 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: this season? Oh yeah, anyway, bad news for the haters 84 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: because every day that he has a bad game, I 85 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: get on here and I read the comments. I read 86 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: the comments and people are kicking him when he's down, 87 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: and oh, he's not the same player. He's a one 88 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: dimensional player. I had some genius tell me the other 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: day that he's a one dimensional player. Holly does his 90 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: hit home runs? Well, what about last year when he 91 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: won the batting title? What about the year before that 92 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: when he hit three hundred. Aaron Judge is going to 93 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: be awesome for a long time, but he is He 94 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: is not infallible. He will have slow months and bad 95 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: stretches from time to time, but when he gets going, 96 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: he's as good as there is in baseball. Tonight he 97 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: hit the fifth hardest hit ball by a Yankee this season, 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteen miles an hour off the bat, 99 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: and that put him into the top five, behind John 100 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: Carlos Stanton at number one. Judge is in there at 101 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: number two and number five, and Stanton is at number three, 102 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: number four, and Camillo daval is now taken over with 103 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,279 Speaker 1: the hardest thrown pitch by a Yankee this year one 104 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: hundred point eight. This I think it was yesterday actually, 105 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: or whatever. The last time he pitched was Matt Myers says, 106 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: all Rice is officially Yankees approve. I love it anyway, 107 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: Jazz Chisholm. He went deep his third home run of 108 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: the season. He's beginning to heat up as well. One 109 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: six off the bat, four h six, no doubter. He 110 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: commented today that he's feeling, you know, more noticeably like himself, 111 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: and that checks out because he took a ball off 112 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: the face in the ninth thirty. But he also made 113 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: a nice shovel pass there at the first base. He 114 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: made a couple of good plays today. I'll give him that. 115 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: But he made a really nice play on a hard 116 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: hit one hopper by Corey Seeger in the eighth inning, 117 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: and that helped Tim Hill get out of a jam. 118 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: And Tim Hill was not great tonight, a couple of walks. 119 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: He is typically money, So I mean, you just hope 120 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: he just shakes it off, go out next time and 121 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: pitch better. Doval gave up another home run. He's got 122 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: a six point nine to seven ERA this season. That 123 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: is not good, obviously, and ultimately, I think when the 124 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: Yankees make trades this year, they're gonna need to get 125 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: bullpen arms, probably plural and they're gonna need to also 126 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: probably put either Weathers or Warren in the bullpen once 127 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: Cole or Rodin or and Rodin come back, just to 128 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: stabilize the pen. Now it's a question of, like, you know, 129 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: who gives you what in what spot. I remember how 130 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: valuable guys like Alfredo Aceves and Michael King were when 131 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: they were pitching like middle innings, fifth, sixth, sometimes seventh innings. 132 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: You got a lot of vulture wins that way, and 133 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: I could see Will Warren being effective in that role. 134 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: But I also think Will Warren has been one of 135 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: the Yankees' best starters this year, so I have a 136 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: tough time bringing him out of the rotation. And you know, 137 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: Ryan Weathers, he will give you length. He's gone eight 138 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: innings a couple of times, so it's gonna be a 139 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: tough decision. Maybe the Yankee should consider going to a 140 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: six man rotation for a little bit help ease Garrett 141 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: Cole and Carlos Rodan back in. We'll see. We'll see anyway, 142 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: huge play in the ninth inning with the shovel pass 143 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: by Jazz Chisholm and the win probability tonight, I want 144 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: to take a look at that because this was one 145 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: of those games where it was getting a little bit tight. 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 1: There you see in the ninth inning there, big dip, 147 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: big dips. The Yankees were headed on an upward path, 148 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: and then you know, big big dip there and the 149 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: Rangers score, and for a second it looked like it 150 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: was gonna be one of those wee moments where it 151 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: goes down the other direction. But the Yankees hang on 152 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: and they are now six and one on the road trip. 153 00:08:52,120 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: Name over Yankees wins. Yankee Jeremy Dyer says, loves the 154 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: love the graphics team. There is no graphics team. It's 155 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: just me. It's just me. Doug says, what the hell 156 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: is going on with Jazz? H Well, he went one 157 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: for four with a home run. He made a good 158 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: plan and he made a bad play. That's jazz. He's 159 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: very up and down. He's a very you know, you know, 160 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: like like the big Lebowski said, or actually it was 161 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: the dude said, strikes and gutters. You know, that's jazz. 162 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: Chisholm to a t a var soul, I can't pronounce that, 163 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: says Rodn to the pen. That won't happen. They're paying 164 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: him too much. To pitch out of the rotation any 165 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: one eighteen games last year. That's not gonna happen. We've 166 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: got a few super chats here. Rich Dove says McMahon 167 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: had a higher average than Wells. Did not realize that. 168 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: Yankee Basher says, we own Texas, whoop them tricks? Live 169 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: it out, you get it, bitch, And then Matt Meyer says, 170 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: all Rice official Yankees approved, appreciate all the super chats. 171 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: All right, ladies and gentlemen, you guys ready, it is 172 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: about time. We have waited long enough. It is time 173 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: to give out the belt. And for the first time 174 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, it is the captain. It was 175 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: only a matter of time before Aaron Judge got his 176 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: name on the Big Boy, and now that he's heating up, 177 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: I suspect we will see him climb the rinks rather quickly. 178 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Nodle says, any plans to watch the Michael Jackson movie, No, 179 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: we were gonna go, but I just I heard it 180 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: was kind of like, I don't know. I heard it 181 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: was it was mid so we decided we're gonna wait 182 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: until it's out on streaming. I did see Project hil 183 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: Mary twice though I love that movie, and my wife 184 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: is dragging me to go see Devilwar's product too this weekend. 185 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: I secretly can't wait to fucking see that movie. Anyway, 186 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: all right, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the Pitcher Spotlight. 187 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: They just. 188 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: Max free Surgical once again tonight. I didn't even mention 189 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: him in the recap, but six shutout innings, just an 190 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: absolute beautiful performance. Eighty nine pitches. He had nine whifs 191 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: topped out at ninety six point six, throwing the sinker 192 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: a lot. Tonight. He threw twenty eight sinkers, fifteen curveballs, 193 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: thirteen fastballs, eleven cutters, and eleven sweepers. So he was 194 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: using the entire gamut of pitch mixes. There, thirty entire 195 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: gambut of pitch mixes. I think that was a really 196 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: stupid sentence. Anyway, he was throwing the whole kitchen sink. 197 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: But game score of sixty seven, just four hits allowed, 198 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: so you know, continues to keep guys off a base. 199 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: He's got a whip of under one. I believe it's 200 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: zero point eight nine. We'll wait for the stats to 201 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: come around. You know what, Actually, I can manually control 202 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,319 Speaker 1: that eight zero point eight zero hell of a job. 203 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: Very nice. Let's break down this game nice, very nice. 204 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: So Yankees got nine hits, two doubles, three home runs, 205 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: three walks. They struck out five times, only five times. 206 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: They usually strike out a lot more than that. Hardest 207 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: hit ball of the night was the Judge home run. Obviously, 208 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: the average exit velocity was not great eighty four point 209 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 1: four and only thirty nine point three percent of their 210 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: batted balls were hard hits, and on the pitching side, 211 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: the strike percentage was sixty one percent. Could be better 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: a lot of ground balls fourteen ground balls and eight strikeouts. 213 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Tonight Yankees also hit a lot of ground balls tonight 214 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: they hit thirteen ground balls, six line drives, six fly balls, 215 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: and three pop ups. But ultimately they win, and tomorrow, 216 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen, is going to be must see TV. 217 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: I cannot wait. Cam Schlitzler versus Jacob de Grom, two 218 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: of my favorite pitchers to watch in baseball. I love 219 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,479 Speaker 1: a good pictures duel. It's difficult to do a podcast 220 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: when there's a picture's duel because there's not a lot 221 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: to describe. Right. So if it's a one nothing game, 222 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,320 Speaker 1: it might be a short episode, but I'm hoping for 223 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: a really good pictures duel that would be fun. Maybe 224 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Judge goes deep off of de Gram and the 225 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: Yankees win one. Nothing that would be beautiful, Will Warren. 226 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: We'll get the start on Wednesday. It's an afternoon game 227 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: against our old friend Nathan Avaldi. Not off to a 228 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: great start. He's in the twilight of his career two 229 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: and four five point seventy nine ERA so far this year. 230 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: All right, quick word about pet insurance and then back 231 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: to take some voicemails. 232 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 4: We love our Dogabella, who's really just a count's cushion 233 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 4: in our house, and you do anything for her.

And if 255 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: you get Aaron Judge going, you get jazz Chism going, 256 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: and Ben Rice continues to rake, it's going to continue 257 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: to pile up. I really think Ben Rice, you know, 258 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: might hit forty five home runs this year. He's having 259 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: that kind of year, hitting three twenty two now with 260 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: ten home runs and twenty three Ribby's. Here is Steve 261 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: for Maine. 262 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 2: Yes, hy, Derek Steve for Maine. I have a very 263 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: exciting proposition. 264 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone's thought of it. 265 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 2: All of us. Boone haids mister Cara. I hated that guy. 266 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: I've always hated him. He's sneaky, he's diabolical, he's he's irritating. 267 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: He's a damn good manager. I'd love to see him 268 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 2: as the Yankee manager. We've already passed on Terry Francona, 269 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 2: the nice guy manager. 270 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 3: Do you think Brian. 271 00:15:55,280 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: Cashman has the guts to deal with Alex Cora? That 272 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: would be a dream. That is all good day. 273 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: First of all, Steve, I love how you sign off 274 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: your calls. That is all. I love it. That's fantastic. 275 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: Great call, by the way. But have we forgotten and 276 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: he was the manager of the Astros that cheated the 277 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Yankees in the postseason. You know what, I'm with Mary 278 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: Beth who called the other night. I have no sympathy 279 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: for him. He's a cheater. And yes, he has done 280 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: a nice job managing. But you know, you're only as 281 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: good as your roster. I think a lot of times, 282 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: and he was a victim of a bad, poorly constructed roster. 283 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: But you know what, I think he's gonna end up 284 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: with the Phillies or the Mets would be my prediction. 285 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: But I think I agree with the safe situation here. 286 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Can't have it, can't do it, and Boone has done 287 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: a decent job this year. Let's be honest, Yankees are 288 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: nineteen and ten. Here's Brian, what's. 289 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 2: Going on, Derek? Hopefully the boys can hold this lead 290 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: and steal this victory. But I wanted to have a 291 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: quick thought experiment and just kind of get your input 292 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: on this. But I was thinking back a few years 293 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 2: when Judge was I think he was going off, to 294 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: be honest, but he was hitting a lot of his 295 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: home runs to right field, right center field, and maybe 296 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 2: even dead center field. And I remember there being like 297 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: a discussion at least, why is he not pulling any 298 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: home runs? Why is he not pulling any home runs? 299 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 2: And it was a weird discussion, and Judge pretty much 300 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: was like, I'm hitting the crap out of the ball. 301 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: Who cares where it goes out? Valid point. Fast forward 302 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: to my little bit of this thought experiment here. I 303 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: haven't actually looked into it, but it seems like most 304 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,959 Speaker 2: of Judges home runs this season are actually left field, 305 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: including a lot of his bass hits, his doubles. A 306 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: lot of his hard hit balls are all going to 307 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: the left field, and he is also, as we've all seen, 308 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: kind of slumping here. I'm actually curious to see what 309 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 2: you think. 310 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: Is there something to So first of all, I think 311 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: the slump is over. But yes, I noticed that he 312 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: wasn't driving the ball great the other way. Oh so 313 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: we got a correction here, And this is my bad. 314 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 1: I totally this is just brain feart here. Aj Hinch 315 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: was the manager of that twenty seventeen team, but Alexcourt 316 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: was the bench coach, so he knew what the hell 317 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: was going on. He knew what was going on anyway. 318 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 1: But yes, I think is as Judge begins to take 319 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 1: the ball to right field more, he's going to continue 320 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: to have more success. And when he's hitting balls to 321 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: center field and to right field with power, that's when 322 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: you know he's really really locked in. Here's Mirbeth. You 323 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: know what. That's a great it's very bed It's a 324 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: great win. 325 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,919 Speaker 2: And Bednar is a good closer. We're just spoiled because 326 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 2: of Mariano. 327 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: Those are honored runs. He does great. I love him. Okay, Donald, 328 00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: have a good show. Yeah, he he makes me sweat 329 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: right right. He he pitches in uh tough situations a 330 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: lot of times by his own making. Not so much tonight, 331 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: but I have a lot more faith in him than 332 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: I had in Devin Williams mentally. Anyway, He's at least 333 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: got the right kind of like attitude and presence on 334 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: the mound. Here's a call about Domingos. 335 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: Hey, Derek, this time from Iowa. 336 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 3: Hey with the recent Dominga's call up you mentioned on 337 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 3: your previews. 338 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: Show that just the h roll, But you know, I 339 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: got an idea of rolling around. What if this. 340 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 3: Opens up an outfield spot. 341 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: You send Belly into play first, and then you got 342 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: Ryots getting. 343 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: Wells out of the lineup, Kevin Rce do a little 344 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 2: bit of catching, just another. 345 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: Way to get a you know, basically, you're replacing Dominga's 346 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: bat for Wells, which, all right, so that's a good call, 347 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: it's and I've seen that brought up a few times. 348 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: The problem is that when you do that, you you 349 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: take away from Rice offense. Just leave Rice where he is. 350 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: If Wells isn't hitting, you replace him with j c 351 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: Ascara and you go out and you get a right 352 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: handed backup. And I would not be opposed to trading 353 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: Austin Wells. But he has done a nice job catching, 354 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: which is important, and it's something that we you know, 355 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: I've ignored a little bit. He does call a good game. 356 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 1: The Yankees are second in the league in eer. You know, 357 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: the top of the rotation's pitching great, and he works 358 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: really well with the pitchers. That has value. We need 359 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: him to be better offensively, for sure. I would like 360 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: him to be hitting better than one seventy nine or 361 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: the two nineteen e hit last year. But we can't 362 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: totally ignore the catching aspect of this. And Ben Rice 363 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: not a great catcher. He was okay. I think Ben 364 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: Rice is getting better at first base. Made a nice 365 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: catch on a pop up over the dugout today. He's 366 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: made some good plays this year, and he rakes. I 367 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: want ben Rice to focus on playing first base, getting 368 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: better against lefties, and just in general, driving and runs. 369 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: That's what I want ben Rice to do. I don't 370 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: want him to have to worry about catching. 371 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 3: Very quick question, killed dere a quick question. I'm noticing 372 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: on the promotional Knights there's only a promotional Knights from 373 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 3: Max Freed, John Carloson and Aaron judge, whereas last year, 374 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: you don't there was jazz. I feel like there were 375 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 3: a lot more promotional giveaways for other players. Is that 376 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: an indication anything or am I reaching thanks? 377 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: I think it's an indication that, you know what, I 378 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: don't know what, it's an indication of that's a great call. Uh. Yeah, 379 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't ad lib anything funny there. I tried, but yeah, 380 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: I mean it's probably just like, you know, they don't 381 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: want to have you know, Bibblehead Knights of the same guys. 382 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: Ye're in year out and there hasn't been a lot 383 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 1: of turnover for the Yankees, so you know, we'll see. 384 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 1: Usually you get some really cool Star Wars things like 385 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: the the c C Sabathia Star Wars one was cool. 386 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: You had a Garrett Cole Star Wars one. We'll be see. 387 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: It'd be interesting to see, uh, you know, if they 388 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: come up with anything later in the season. Sometimes they 389 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: announced different promos later in the year, you know, surprise promos. 390 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: But I feel like we need some cam Schlitler merch. 391 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: I feel like we need a you know, a cam 392 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 1: Schlittler bobblehead from the you know, doing the pose of 393 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: the fist pump from the Red Sox shutout last year. 394 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: That would be sick. I think we need Ben Rice, 395 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: you know, jumping out of a bowl of rice statuette 396 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: or something like that, or jose Cabairo getting caught stealing 397 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: that shut off.
