1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, April first, and it was game six

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty two. Cam Schlittler day, Cam

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: making his second start of the seasons. The Yankees finish

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: off a West coast trip against the Mariners. How would

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: it shake out? My recap? Your reactions coming up next?

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: This is Pinstrip Territory. Wanted to talk at told welcome back, everybody,

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back. You know, when I was a little kid,

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: I used to stand up and get close to the

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: TV when Don Mattingley came up to hit, And I

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: caught myself today doing that again when Cam Schlitzler was pitching.

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: I can't recall a time in the last I don't know,

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: maybe ten years or so. I know I probably did

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: that with Massa Hero Tanako when he first came over.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: It was so fascinating. It's so fascinating watching this guy

15
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: that I just wanted to absorb myself in it. If

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: I could get into the sphere in Las Vegas and

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 1: watch the game that way, I would. I just am

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: absolutely blown away by how good this guy is. But

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: before we get started, I want to give a shout

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: out to the Artemis two crew who are headed to

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: the moon, Amaze, amazed. Hopefully they will find that baseball

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that John Carlos Stanton hit off of Tyler Glass. Now

23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty playoffs. Playoffs and welcome to first

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:30,199
Speaker 1: place in the American League East. Hopefully we will remain

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: there for the duration of the season. But second year

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: in a row that the Yankees have gotten a huge,

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: huge home run from Paul Goldschmidt in Seattle. Last year

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: in May, he hit one on the day that Aaron

29
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Judge went deep to put the Yankees out front. They

30
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 1: won that game. I think it was May fourteenth. Credit

31
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: to the Yankees hitters for working the count drawing walks today,

32
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: a lot of tough at bats. The game got closer

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: than it should have been. The last out of the

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: game kind of gave me a little bit of a

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: heart attack there just on the screen, the way that

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the trajectory of the baseball left the bat. I thought

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: it might be going in the seats, but then I

38
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: saw the route the judge was taking and I knew

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: it was gonna be short. And with that, Cam Schlittler

40
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: is now two to zero. He defeats the pitchers duel

41
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: with pitching matchup with George Kirby. Good day for Ben

42
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: Rice again. He had his first home run of the season.

43
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: David Bednar three saves, and the Yankees have finished out

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the West Coast trip five and one. I mean, if

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: you were talking about two in three, I would not

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: have been surprised. Five and one is a really, really

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: good trip to the West Coast, let alone, to start

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: this season. If you're somebody though, who doesn't care about

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: pitching and pitching isn't your thing, I just want to

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: say that this episode might not be for you because

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I'm basically gonna spend the next twenty minutes just raving

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: about camp schl Hitler and what he did. Just a

53
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: fantastic day. Let's go ahead and get to the recap.

54
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going. By the way,

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: Ankes didn't hit a lot of home runs on this trip.

56
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: They hit a couple of them today, Rice and Goldschmidt,

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, Other than that, Stanton had one and Judge

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: had a couple. I don't think that that tradition that's

59
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: gonna last. I think that they're gonna start hitting a

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: lot more home runs once you get back to the

61
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: familiar confines of Yankee Stadium. I think this was a

62
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: product of it being kind of cold and not the

63
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: greatest home run ballparks. But you know, and I know

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: Judge is off to a slow start, but he had

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: a couple of dangers in this on this road trip.

66
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: And you know, honestly, five and one is great, but

67
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: they could have been six and oh if Paul Blackburn

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: wasn't pitching in a spot in which he had no

69
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: business pitching the other night, Yankees could have gone home

70
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: six and oh. So anyway, kudos to the Yanks for

71
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: a great, great start. And apparently they had a meeting

72
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: I guess it was a few days ago where Judge,

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: Stanton and I want to say Goldschmidt met with the

74
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: team and they basically stressed the importance of focus and

75
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: winning all one hundred and sixty two, or at least

76
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: making an effort to win every single day rather than

77
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: mailing it in like they did at times last year.

78
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: And this is one of the first times I can

79
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: recall hearing about Aaron Judge in his capacity as captain,

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, it's good to hear, you know,

81
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: it's good to see that he's you know, taking some

82
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: steps to, you know, take on a more leadership role,

83
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: even if it does involve a couple of other guys.

84
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: But John Carlos Stanton one of those guys. He was

85
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: not in the line of today. That caused a little

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: bit of a stir, you know, on social media. People

87
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: were concerned, Oh, why are you sitting our hottest hitter,

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, and to their credit, I mean, he was

89
00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: ten for twenty to begin the season, but the Yankees

90
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: managed to win it. Anyway. Another couple of knocks for

91
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: Rice today, home run two RBIs. I'm gonna talk more

92
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: about him in a few minutes, but he's become much

93
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: more than a home run hitter. He's becoming a really

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: good all round hitter. As TK mentioned last night, looking

95
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: really good on defense two. I thought Aaron Judge just

96
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: missed one in the first inning. You could tell he's

97
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: getting a little bit more comfortable. He ripped a line

98
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: drive up the middle last night that was an out,

99
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: and then today he hits one basically one hundred and

100
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: four miles an hour off the bat. It just got

101
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: under it a bit too much, caught in right field,

102
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, good day for the Yanks. Schlitler he pitched

103
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: around a leadoff double by Brendan Donovan, and then he

104
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: just went into cruise control. I mean he was just

105
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: and cruise control isn't even the word. I mean he

106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: was completely dominating. And I'll cover him more in the

107
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: pitcher spotlight. Jazz Chisholm one of the low points of

108
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: this game. He had a base hit and then immediately

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 1: got picked off. That was no fun. But fast forward

110
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: to the six ending great at bats, Grisham, Rice, they

111
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: work walks, you know, off of Kirby, and then Goldschmidt

112
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: with a three run jack. Like I said, second year

113
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: in a row, big home run in Seattle from Paul Goldschmidt.

114
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: But story today was Cam Schlittler. After that, you know,

115
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: early blip. He dominated, He retired fifteen hitters in a row.

116
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: He was only at seventy nine pitches when he came

117
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: out of the game. Boone came and got him, and

118
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: my phone started blowing up. Why is Boone doing this?

119
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: Why are they taking him out of the game. And

120
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: the consensus is that he was limited to between seventy

121
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: five and eighty pitches today, So that was or eighty

122
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: and eighty five pitch something something along those lines, and

123
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: so that's why they got him out. But Dovall not

124
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: so good today. Fernando Cruz was okay, but Dovall struggled.

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Loaded the bases, Boone went to Bednar, gave up the

126
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: two run single to Raleigh, but he struck out Julio

127
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: Rodriguez in a big spot, and then Rice, you know,

128
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: gave the insurance run. Mariners did get a third run,

129
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: but they were unable to make the comeback, and the

130
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: Yankees finish out the series with a win. Whole game

131
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: over wins Yanks. All right, we got super chat here

132
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: from Sawbelly says, show looks great, Pal, appreciate that a

133
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 1: lot of work went into that. And this is Bonami

134
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: says thoughts on a potential future pitching duel later this

135
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: season between Cam Shultzer and Paul Skeens. I'll take Cam

136
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: Schulzer right now. Paul Skeen's just got knocked out in

137
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: the first game by the Mets, although that was partially

138
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: the center fielder's fault. Today's one of those days where

139
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: you started thinking more about the runner up for the

140
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: Belt than you do the actual belt, you know, I mean,

141
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: we had some guys with some good games. Three run

142
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: jack for gold Smith, a couple of hits, couple of

143
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: Ribbi's home run, and a double for Ben Rice. But

144
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: to me, it has to go to Cam Schlitzler. I mean,

145
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: the guy's a stud. The guy's an absolute stud. I

146
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: love the attitude, and we're gonna talk more about him

147
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: in just a second. But I do want to give

148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: a shout out to the other guy's huge swing of

149
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: the bat from Paul Goldschmidt and a really good game

150
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: from Ben Rice. And I'll go more into Ben Rice

151
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes. I want to talk about

152
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: the nature of dominance for a second, because we use

153
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: that word in sports a lot, But what Cam Schlitzler

154
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: is doing right now is profound. It is real dominance.

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: He might be a three to four pitcher in baseball

156
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: right now. Brendan Donovan leads off the game with a

157
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: double fine, you know, Glitchen, the matrix whatever. After that,

158
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Schlittler didn't just settle in. He completely took over the game.

159
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: He allowed only one other hit single by Luke Rayley,

160
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: no walk, seven strikeouts, no sweat, fifteen straight retired. I mean,

161
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: it's it's ridiculous this point of the year. He has

162
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: come out of the gate so strong, topped out at

163
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: ninety eight point two seventy nine pitches, fifty eight of

164
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: them strikes. That is a seventy three percent strike rate.

165
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: He threw twenty nine fastballs, twenty one cutters and twenty sinkers,

166
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: seven curveballs and two sliders. This was a surgical deconstruction

167
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: of the Seattle baroners. And what struck me is the

168
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: way that his approach changed, you know, each trip through

169
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: the order. So first time through the order, he's leaning

170
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: on the four seamer fifty seven percent of the time,

171
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: essentially saying I'm challenging you with the fastball. Hit it

172
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: if you can. And then second time through the order,

173
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: the four seamer drops and he's thrown cutters and sinkers,

174
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: and look, whatever his strategy was, it worked flawlessly sixty

175
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: one percent with rate today on the four seam fastball.

176
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: Let that sink in. Six out of every ten times

177
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: they swung at the fastball, they came up with nothing

178
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: but that humid serial killer producing Seattle air. And this

179
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: was an elite performance by Cam Schlutler. And as a

180
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: guy who spends most of his life staring at Yankees' highlights.

181
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remain objective, but right now it's difficult

182
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: to stay objective when you look up and you see

183
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: zero point twenty six whip. I mean, that's unreal, unreal.

184
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: So we look at the pitch in comparison, and this

185
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: was another day where it should have been a big

186
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: time pitcher's duel, and Slutler just completely dominate six and third,

187
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: two hits, no runs, no walk, seven strikeouts. Kirby went

188
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: six innings, five hits, four runs, all of them earned

189
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: three walks and six strikeouts. Seattle falls under five hundred

190
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: for the season. I mean you talk about a matchup,

191
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean this is a matchup in the same way

192
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: that Mike Tyson versus Peter McNeely was a matchup, right.

193
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Cam Schlitzler dominated. It was not a fair fight.

194
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: The radar numbers get your attention, but the composure, the presence,

195
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: the confidence, the fu attitude equally important, and that's why

196
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: you get games like this. I also want to talk

197
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: about Ben Rice, who had a really good game. He

198
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: does not appear to have been a one year wonder,

199
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: hitting four to twelve on the season, hit his first

200
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: home run today two for three and a one point

201
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: two eight nine ops to begin the season. His at

202
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: bats have been great. He continues to work the count.

203
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: He's on pace for twenty seven home runs and one

204
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five ribies in four to twelve. I

205
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: think we would sign up for that right now. His

206
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: defense has been better. Just a total improvement for this

207
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: guy across the board. What sucks is that he's twenty

208
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: seven years old, because you want this guy to be

209
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four, so you could have a decade

210
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: and a half of dominance. But you know, late Loomer,

211
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: better late than never. Watch out for him on the

212
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: home stand because he is giving me Tino Martinez vibes.

213
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: I want to pull up Tino's stats from nineteen ninety seven. Now,

214
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: this was prime Tino. This was the year that he

215
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: won the Home run Derby. This was the year that

216
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: he basically was red hot from the first pitch of

217
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: spring training until the end of the season. Nine to

218
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: forty eight ops, forty four home runs, one hundred and

219
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: forty one RBIs, three to seventy one base on base

220
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: percentage that year, ninety six runs score. He was insane. Now,

221
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: he was pretty good. In ninety six, you know, he

222
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: hit twenty five homers one hundred and seventeen ribis. That

223
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: was his first season as a Yankee. He was replacing

224
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: Don matting Lee and so forth. But then ninety seven

225
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: he just turns it on and goes nuts. In two

226
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: ninety six with four four home runs on hundred forty

227
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: one ribbees, and then ninety eighty was off to the

228
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: same kind of start when he got drilled in the

229
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: back by Armando Benitez and he really never had that

230
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of power season again. I mean, I think that

231
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: altered him forever. Now, if you go and look at

232
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: what ben Rice is doing, you know, you go back

233
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: to last year two fifty five with twenty six home

234
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: runs and sixty five arbies. Does anybody believe he's not

235
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: gonna beat all of those numbers easily. I think he's

236
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: gonna crush those numbers. I think he's gonna hit two

237
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: eighty two ninety minimum. I think he's gonna hit thirty

238
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: five to forty five home runs. I think he's gonna

239
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: drive in one hundred to one hundred and fifteen runs. Now,

240
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe I'm a Yankee uh enthusiast, but it's hard to

241
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,479
Speaker 1: argue against that kind of swing. This guy is incredible.

242
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: So just go into the series recap here. The Yankees

243
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: take two out of three. They dropped game one. I'm

244
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna refer to that as the Boone and Blackburn game

245
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 1: because Blackburn should have never been in that game. Yankees

246
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: could have won that game. They win last night behind

247
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: me Max Freed, who's two and oh with a zero ERA,

248
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: and Cam Schlittler double mcgum, also two and oh, zero era.

249
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Deja vu. Yankees take two out of three, and next

250
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: they will have the Miami Marlins. Now, the Marlins are

251
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: also five and one. They're off to a really good start.

252
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: They've got thirty three runs scored so far this year,

253
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: which is more than the Yankees. They've also allowed many

254
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: more runs in the Yankees al Cantara, though we're not

255
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna see him, we will see Yuri Perez, who's a

256
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: really good pitcher. I believe he's twenty two years old.

257
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna pitch on Friday against Will Warren and then

258
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Max Meyer. I know his stats aren't great, but I've

259
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: watched the Max Meyer highlights. Got a good slider. He

260
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: worries me against the righties. Ryan Weather's first home start

261
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: as a Yankee that'll be Saturday night, and then Sunday

262
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: Chris Paddock change up specialist against Max Freed, who just

263
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: doesn't allow runs. So I'm liking the Yankees' chances. And

264
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: by the way, all long, you can watch baseball on

265
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: Fox One. This episode brought to you by the fine

266
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: people at Fox One. Tons of stuff on Fox One.

267
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Not only do they have baseball, but they've also got

268
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: the World Cup this year. They've got the Masks singer

269
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Gordon Ramsey. I mentioned that last night. I'll never get

270
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: tired of watching Gordon Ramsey. The guy is awesome, amazing chef.

271
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: I am dying to have a Gordon Ramsey meal. By

272
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: the way, July eleventh, I may not be doing a show,

273
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: or I may have Frankie filled in for me, because

274
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: We're planning to go see the Nationals game against the

275
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: Yankees in Washington, and part of the trip is we

276
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: were gonna stay at the casino and have a little

277
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Gordon Ramsey steak over there. Little ninety eight dollars RIBI

278
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's gonna be delicious anyway. They also

279
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: have Family Guy stream all your favorites together in one place,

280
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Fox one, and from Opening Day through the All Star

Speaker 1: get your seven day free trial at Fox one dot com.

284
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: So far this year, the Yankees are fifteenth and runs scored,

285
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: there's sixth and runs allowed. Team average is only two

286
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven. You'd like to see that get better, and

287
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: the tem ops is six forty six, so the offense

288
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: hasn't even really gotten clicking yet and there's still five

289
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: and one, so a good good start for the Yanks.

290
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: Let's take a few voicemails here, just the reaction.

291
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: Here's MB Derek MB here and whoa Bednor has the

292
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: energy of John Wetland.

293
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: I love Bednor, I love him, but he has a

294
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: little bit of.

295
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: John Wetland's energy, so it's not particularly safe. We got

296
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: a good baseball team right now.

297
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: We have a really good baseball team and Shitler.

298
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: Oh my god.

299
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: So it's really fun to watch our team.

300
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: Look forward to hearing your show.

301
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Bye doll, Thank you, Marybeth. Once again, Mary Beth. One

302
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: of the goats of all time is that redundant from

303
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: the department of redundancy department. Yeah, I mean the team

304
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: is clicking well. They're playing well on both sides of

305
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: the ball. Bullpen still scares me. I would still rather

306
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: have Carlos LeGrande in the bullpen than somebody like Paul

307
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Blackburn orkad Winquist. But maybe by the season's ending, you know,

308
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: or you know, at least having Louis Hill available to

309
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: pitch out of the bullpen. Right now, but I get

310
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: wanting to leave him stretched out as a starter. And

311
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: John Wetland as long as you know Bednar celebrates in

312
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: the middle of the diamond the way the the way

313
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: that Wetland did in ninety six, I'll sign up for it.

314
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, this is John from Florida. Maybe I'm just

315
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: in the moment right now, but Cam Slittler is pumping gas.

316
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 4: It's the first thing that he punched out Kyl Robby

317
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: and Jay Rod. And I'm not including this kid in

318
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 4: the trade for Paul Skins that comes available. I'm sorry.

319
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 4: He may be just as good as Paul Skins one day.

320
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 4: Maybe it's recency biased, Maybe it's because of what we've

321
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: been seeing this last few weeks, a few months or

322
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 4: since he's been playing, but I can't do it. He's

323
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 4: just pumping gas. He's or a farming, like the kids

324
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 4: say when he parches out. He got that deadly pettit'stare

325
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 4: and I love it all right, man, I see.

326
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: You or a farming. I't heard that one yet. But

327
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 1: I would also not trade Cam Schultler. I think he

328
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: has elevated himself to untouchable status. But apparently there was

329
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: an offer last year. I thought it was bullshit, and

330
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: apparently it wasn't. The Yankees offered Cam Schluittler, who else,

331
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: George Lombard Junior and a few others for Paul Skeenes

332
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 1: and they said no. They said no, So I'm kind

333
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: of glad that didn't happen. Its kind of like when

334
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: Yankees almost traded Judge and Severino and a few others

335
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: for like Andrelton Simmons and Jason Hayward. Sometimes the best

336
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: trades are the ones you don't make. Here's a big ed.

337
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 2: Hey Derek is big ted from Halem once again. Hey,

338
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: you know I never got to see Christy Matthewson Fitch,

339
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: but wow, we have Cam Schlittler. This guys must watch TV,

340
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: like how Doc Gooden was back in. I don't want

341
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: to miss any of his thoughts. He's remarkable, he's still learning,

342
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: he's pounding the zone. He hasn't even learned how to

343
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: throw a waist pitch in the dirt yet. Wait till

344
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: he gets that curveball in the dirt.

345
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: Going, then it's all over. I'm so happy right now.

346
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: But unfortunately we got to give we got to give

347
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 2: own credit because this team is sharp and they're well

348
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: coached right now.

349
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: I think he called in before the almost abomination of

350
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: the bullpen today. But yes, uh, Cam Schlitler, I mean

351
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: he's we are watching an emerging star in the game.

352
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: The things that we're talking about now, I think we'll

353
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: ripple through baseball over the next several months. Would not

354
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: shock me if we look up in June or July

355
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: and he's thirteen and two with a one point eighty

356
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: six ERA something like that. You know, here's Austin, Hey, Dirk.

357
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 3: This is often my only question about this game is

358
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 3: why does Boone come out and take camp Sliler out

359
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: with one out in the seventh and A didn't make

360
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: a lot of sense unless the Lab yeeks you know,

361
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: wanted him out, you know, with an eighty pitch limit.

362
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't see why you just just let him finish

363
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: out the seventh any dare anyway?

364
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: I think they're protecting him. He's a young arm and

365
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, I trust the lab geeks in terms of

366
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: data on when a guy is going to start to

367
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: wear down and so forth. They seem to have a

368
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: really good, uh feel for that. But the Yankees bullpen

369
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: is suspect. I think that's clear, and I don't. I

370
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: don't know if I would have gone to him right there.

371
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean I think I would have let him finish

372
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: the seventh. I don't think I would have gone to

373
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: the pen right there, But I mean, he was cruising.

374
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he was working hard. He was cruising.

375
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: So I can see it both ways. I can see

376
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: the Yankees wanting to protect him, but I can also say, hey,

377
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: let the kid pitch. Is baseball? Are we competitors or not? Anyway?

378
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: One more time from John Sterling, whole game over, Yankees win,

379
