1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Stand by for special breaking news from n y Y recaps.

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: The live show is about to begin. Pull me back,

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: how's it going, everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back. Tough news

4
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: for the Yankees this afternoon. Clark Schmidt, one of the

5
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: best pictures in their rotation this year, is headed to

6
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: the injured list with a LAT strain. Now, a LAT

7
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: strain is worse for hitters, I would argue than it

8
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 1: is for pictures, because the hitter really uses a lot

9
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: of torque in his torso to swing. Now, pictures, legs, groins, backs,

10
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and obviously arms are the big concern. Lat injury I

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: don't think is going to affect him long term, but

12
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: he is going to be out for a while, and

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: the Yankees are gonna want him to be healthy as

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: they head into the postseason. Now, this is not necessarily

15
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: the end of the world. The rotation has been fantastic.

16
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: I was looking at it today. We've got four guys,

17
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: including Clark Schmidt, with an ERA under three, and Nestor

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: Cortes has the highest ERA on the staff at about

19
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: three point three zero. Now Clark Schmidt is gonna get

20
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: at least i'd say four weeks off without pitching possibly more,

21
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: possibly six weeks, possibly eight weeks. What this does is

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: a few things. One, Luis Hill isn't going anywhere until

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: Clark Schmid is back unless Heel himself knock On Wood

24
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: gets injured, so Heel now is going to remain in

25
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: the rotation with Garrett Cole. When Garrett Cole comes back.

26
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: There is still an interim time period before Garrett Cole

27
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: comes back, before Clark Schmidt comes back, in which they'll

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: need a fifth starter. I don't think they're gonna go

29
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: out and trade for anybody. I could see that I'm

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: using a mixture of guys. I could see Cody Potite

31
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: getting some more shots. I could see somebody making their

32
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: major league debut, like Will Warren even though he hasn't

33
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: pitched great. Could see Chase Hampton getting a shot. I

34
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: could see them call ups an unknown whose you know,

35
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: whose day it is to pitch, and then you know,

36
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: maybe even dfa them after the game. You know, some

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: some some nobody that they want to put on the

38
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: roster just to fill up a spot. I could see

39
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: that they've done that before. But I honestly think that

40
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: this could be a blessing in disguise, because now you're

41
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna have a mid season form in terms of rest

42
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt as you're competing for the division or a

43
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: wild card spot, but probably the division in September and

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: then going on into the playoffs. Now we take a

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: look at Clark Schmidt's numbers this year, they're fantastic. Eleven

46
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: games started, two point five to two e RA, sixty

47
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: to two thirds, inning six seven strikeouts, twenty walks. Tommy

48
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: sees Kat says, was this a planned lat strain to

49
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: limit innings? I mean it could be, but I doubt it.

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they would have pulled the trigger on

51
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: a planned, you know, faux injury, phantom injury at this point.

52
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: They would have waited until Garrett Cole came back. John

53
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: Compton says, we'll survive, and I agree. So, you know,

54
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: there was zero chance that the Yankees rotation was going

55
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: to continue to pitch this well and be uninjured throughout

56
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: the course of the entire season. There was no chance

57
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: that was gonna happen. Someone at some point was going

58
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: to go down with an injury. Just happened to be

59
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt. Now, if you get another injury, then you

60
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: start to be really concerned, concerned before Garrett Cole comes back. Now,

61
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: last we heard from Garrett Cole, he's throwing to hitters.

62
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: He's working his way back. He has not ruled out

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: a return in June. I'm personally counting on him right

64
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: at the end of June, right around the final you know,

65
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: five weeks, five or five days of June, last trip

66
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: of the rotation in June at worst, right around the

67
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: fourth of July. You know, let's say he gets pushed

68
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: back a week if he has some soreness or something

69
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: like that, and sorenis is something that is common as

70
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: guys are coming back from elbow injuries, that swelling, that

71
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: edema can flare up. Now he was also dealing with

72
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: nerve issue. Hopefully that's feeling better. All reports from the

73
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: people who've watched his side sessions are that he looks fantastic,

74
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: that he's actually bringing the velocity more than they had

75
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: anticipated he would. But in the interim, I expect you'll

76
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: see Cody Potit. I expect you might see an opener

77
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: one day, you might see Luke Weaver get a start.

78
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: Even though Luke Weaver has sort of cemented himself as

79
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: a valuable late inning reliever. He has thrown multiple innings

80
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: on occasion, and you could see him be an opener

81
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: where he throws maybe three innings you know before and

82
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: off day right where you can spend the bullpen. Let's

83
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: say the you know starter before Clark schmitth spot in

84
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the rotation comes up, gives just seven good innings or

85
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: eight good innings like we got from Louis Heal last night.

86
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: If that happens, you know, then you can use the

87
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: bullpen a little bit more the next day. I expect

88
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: that type of situation. I don't expect them to go

89
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: out and make a trade, and I don't expect any

90
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: seismic moves from the farm system. We've seen Cody Potit

91
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: this year. I think he'll probably be the likely guy.

92
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: And if you remember, Cody Potit pitched pretty well. Now.

93
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: I want to take a look at Clark Schmidt's stat

94
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: cast numbers just to you know, people who haven't been

95
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: following very quickly or very closely, I want you to

96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: see what you're missing here. He is having a very

97
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: very good season. Pitching run value in the ninety fifth percentile,

98
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: fastball run value in the seventy third percentile, breaking ball

99
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: run value in the ninety eight percent. All that curveball

100
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: is sick. Fifth percentages up, strikeout percentages up, hard hit

101
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: percentage is great. He's really become a fantastic pitcher. And honestly,

102
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: his numbers is regular statistics are better even than the

103
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: metrics in a lot of these areas. I mean, the

104
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: fastball velo not amazing, you know, the expected ERA, the

105
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: chase percentage not amazing, but two point five two ERA

106
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: and more than a strikeout per inning. And he has

107
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: since in recent weeks eclipsed that six inning barrier that

108
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: he used to have, right He's gone past that on

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: a few occasions. But obviously this is a this is

110
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a tough injury. The lat is something that is slow

111
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: to heal. So I'm personally expecting four to six weeks,

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: maybe up to eight weeks, and then he's gonna need to,

113
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, kind of ease his way back in. I

114
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna come back throwing seven eight innings

115
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: right away. He might throw four or five, you know,

116
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: the first couple of times out tops. So anyway, I am, uh,

117
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed, but I'm not that worried. I mean, it's

118
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: May thirtieth, and we're just now losing our second starter.

119
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Last year seemed like two guys we go down every week.

120
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: And we got Garrett cole on the return on the

121
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Men soon, so he'll step in. And this means that

122
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Luis Hea we get to watch him for at least,

123
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, another month or two, at least, let's say

124
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: six weeks. You know, that's that's another uh what seven starts.

125
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's not unrealistic to think the Yankees could go

126
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: seven to zero in those games and they won't have

127
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: to put him in the bullpen right away. But now

128
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: I do think they think that using him this much

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: in the first part of the season. I think that

130
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: when Clark Schmidt does return, I think it's almost a

131
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: given that Louis Heal is gonna get some kind of

132
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: a vacation. They'll probably option him. Honestly, what they'll probably

133
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: do if he's not hurt is option him to Triple

134
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: A and just give him a break. Just take like

135
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: three weeks off, you know, sit in the bullpen, choose

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: some seeds, you know, stay home, get the New Madden Game, whatever.

137
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna give him just some rest and

138
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: then hopefully you have him as a weapon, and you'll

139
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: hopefully have Clark Schmidt as a weapon going into the

140
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: playoffs because he's been filthy. All right, ladies and gentlemen,

141
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: tune in after the game tonight. Yankees playing on the

142
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: West Coast once again, And uh, I forget who's pitching tonight. Honestly,

143
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: I honestly do not remember who's pitching. I'm gonna look

144
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: it up real quick. Carlos word on. Yeah, six and

145
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: two two point nine five against Patrick Sandoval two and

146
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: seven five point six. So on paper, Yankees have the advantage,

147
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: So tune in for that. Obviously tough day for the Yankees,

148
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: but we will survive and I will see you on

149
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: the post game
