1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: All right, the gympathy. You know. Today is one of

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: those days where I'm glad that I didn't end up

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: being a major League baseball player. Baseball in the snowflakes

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: in Detroit. Today Yankee is trying to get back on

5
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: the winning track against the Tigers. My recap, your reactions

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: coming up next. This is Pinstripe Territory. I just wanted

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: to talk catch Allalla, how're the going, guys? I got

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: music going in the background. Sorry, that always happens. My bad.

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: How's it going a tough day for the Yankees? And

10
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: for those of you who are fretting about the Yankees

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: six and four start, I just want to offer this

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: a little bit of consolation. It's gonna get worse because

13
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: that's a ninety seven win pace, and I don't think

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: anybody would argue that this is a ninety seven win team,

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: not with the pitching that they have displayed. So so

16
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: welcome back, everybody. We are here after every game. I

17
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: promised you that if I have Internet, I'm here. Short

18
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: of a death in the family or my house being

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: on fire, and maybe not even my house being on fire,

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I will be here. But I don't have to be

21
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: in a good mood, and today Carlos Rodin has me

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: in a bad mood. Is so ass you might even

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 1: say that he was a bum today. For the first

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: time this year, we are giving out some well deserved

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: recognition for the Bum of the Day. Carlos Rodan the

26
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: only pitcher in the league that I know of that

27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: can throw ninety eight miles an hour but doesn't know

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: how to make hitters uncomfortable when it's literally freezing outside.

29
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: I also took issue with John Flaherty covering for him.

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: He was almost the bum of the day. He said

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: that Rodin threw two bad pitches today. He said, he

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: threw two bad pitches. The guy gave up five earned runs,

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: He had three walks. What about the bad pitches coming

34
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: with men on base? What about the bad pitches to

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: put guys on base? Sad, sad commentary. So congratulations for

36
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: making pinstrip history, Carlos Rodon. You are the first regular

37
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: season recipient of the Bum of the Day. I knew

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: it was going to be cold today, but I didn't

39
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: envision snowflakes. I took Paul Goldschmidt hitting a home run

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: as my nostra. Derek Pick, Yankees did, in fact, not

41
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: hit any home runs in my whole life. I told

42
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: you guys that Trent Grisham was going to be in

43
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: the lineup if he kept hitting, and he was. He

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: gave Domingas the day off today and he had another hit.

45
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: He was one for four. He hit the ball hard,

46
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: but none of that mattered because the pitching was crap

47
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: and Carlos rodin rain shat, you know, shine, sleet, snow,

48
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: no matter what the conditions, serving up those meatballs on

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: time and on schedule. All right, let's get to the recap.

50
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Melon Lord said they looked like they didn't want to

51
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: be there, and I have to agree. I think both

52
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: teams looked like they didn't want to be there. Yeah,

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure it was uncomfortable. I'm sure it

54
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: was cold. They just got done traveling. But you know,

55
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: that's the sport you have chosen. It's an outdoor sport.

56
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Better get used to it. So not a not a

57
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: good day for the Yankees. So we had Ben Rice

58
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: back in the leadoff spot. He drew a walk to

59
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: lead off the game, but got stranded, and then he

60
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 1: tripled in the top of the third inning. Unfortunately, got

61
00:03:54,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: picked off for straying off the bag just ugly. I

62
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: was telling our social media guy, though, that when ben

63
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: Rice hits, I pay attention in the same way that

64
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: I pay attention for Judge or Bellinger or Goldschmidt the boppers,

65
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: because he has a legitimate chance to crush it every time.

66
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: And he smoked another one today, so when he is

67
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: locked in, the adjustments that he has made are working. Unfortunately,

68
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: after the triple he got picked off, and then the

69
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: next pitch was a wild pitch, went to the backstop,

70
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: so he would have scored. So not a good outcome there.

71
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Yanks fell behind three nothing after the home run by

72
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: a Bonyez. Again, you could argue that it was a

73
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: bad pitch, that there was an error. I don't really

74
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: care about all that. I care about bad pitches with

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: guys on base and walks rodown walks, too many guys,

76
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: And that was the problem again today, five and there's

77
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: no way to spin that into a good start or

78
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: to make excuses for that. I'm sorry. Five earned runs

79
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: is not acceptable right now, not with Garrett Cole out.

80
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Gotta pitch better. Yankees began to chip back in the

81
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: fifth inning, another hit from Grisham, another walk by Ben

82
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Rice and then an RBI single from Judge eighteenth RBI

83
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: of the year. He leads the American League. Cabrera actually

84
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: leads to major leagues. Cabrera booted a routine ground ball

85
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: in the fifth inning, ended up being another two run

86
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: inning for the Tigers. Again, Rodin doesn't pitch around mistakes

87
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: by his teammates or bad calls like he implodes, like

88
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: that cheap submarine that the guy was controlling with a

89
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: PlayStation controller implodes. Yankees offense did practically nothing off of

90
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: Casey my six innings of one run baseball. I remember

91
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 1: when Casey my Is pitched against the Yankees in spring

92
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: training a couple of years ago, completely and thoroughly dominated them,

93
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and that the case again today. Tigers did turn a

94
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: beautiful one six, four to three double play on Oswaldo

95
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: in the seventh inning. Ricocheted off the pitcher, went to Baiaz,

96
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: he made a great flip to second. They turned the

97
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 1: double play. Just as a baseball fan, I was impressed.

98
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: That was a nice play. Tigers tacked on in the

99
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: seventh Jazz Chisholm blew a huge four to six three

100
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: double play. Jazz had a bad day also had some

101
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: really really bad swings, awful swings, weak swings, wild swings,

102
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: leading the league in strikeouts credit to Bellinger. Down five

103
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: runs in the eighth inning, hustling down the line, beat

104
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: out an infield single, came around to score on an

105
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: error for the Yankees' second run, and Tommy Kinley closed

106
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: it out. He froze his former catcher Austin Wells, who

107
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: had called sixty one consecutive change ups last year, with

108
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: a fastball FROZENI to get him looking, and the Yankees

109
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: drop game one of the series. CTC Cards says, I

110
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: like jazz, but he needs to put the ball in play.

111
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: Do you like jazz? Stop swinging at every pitch and

112
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: trying to launch it into the stands. One agree with

113
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: you there. We're gonna take a lot of audience comments today.

114
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: The chat seems fired up. Ct also says Belly hustled

115
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: more on that play than Torres and Verdugo did combined

116
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, Verdugo was the worst about that. Torres

117
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: would occasionally hustle, but not until he had to get

118
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: sat down by Aaron Boone. The issue with Torres was

119
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: he would try and pimp home runs that weren't home runs.

120
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: He had a little bit of Josh Donaldson in him.

121
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 1: But look tough. Tough day for the Yankees. My channel says,

122
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: another no stra damnit prediction. I'll eat that one. I'll

123
00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: eat it. So tough day. Let's talk about car Rodan

124
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. I had the feeling this could be

125
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: a good day for Carlos Rodin. I actually messaged Frankie

126
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: this morning. He said, Frankie, I'm telling you this, but

127
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm not making a prediction. I feel like Rodin might

128
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: throw no hitter today. It's cold in Detroit. He throws hard,

129
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: he throws in and I felt like he was going

130
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: to be getting in on guys hands all day. My

131
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: only issue was, I don't know if he can go

132
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: nine innings, because it usually if if somebody told you

133
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin gave you seven good innings, you'd get the

134
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: hell out of here. But one two three easy first inning,

135
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: one two three easy second inning, and I'm thinking, oh,

136
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: maybe I was onto something. Maybe I should have made

137
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: this my notion, Derek prediction. And then of course loses

138
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: the strike zone, can't recover from an error freaking meatball.

139
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Time to stop throwing these two more runs in the fifth.

140
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: He had some strikeouts. Today he gave the Yankee six innings.

141
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: They needed some innings. Today. He threw over one hundred pitches.

142
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: But again I don't get Flaherty saying that it was

143
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: a good outing and then it was only two bad pitches.

144
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: He was behind in the count, he was walking guys,

145
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: and he made bad pitches when there were runners in

146
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: scoring position. That is the literal opposite of a good outing.

147
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: Johnny final line. Six innings, six runs, five of them earned,

148
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: four hits, three walks, and eight strikeouts. Tough day at

149
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the office. It stinks. We got some questions in here

150
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: about our pitching staff. Alejandro wants to know when does

151
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: Luis Heel come back, And that is actually what they

152
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: call the perfect segue, because I have a section here

153
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: on injury updates. So Ian Hamilton expected to return tomorrow.

154
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: You saw Adam Outavino pitch today. My guess is that

155
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: they're going to dfa him for the second time in

156
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: a week. I thought it was interesting the dfade him.

157
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: He rejected a trip to the minor leagues, became a

158
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: free agent, and then resigned with the Yankees. So it

159
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: seems like kind of a loophole in the hole, sending

160
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: guys down, not having an option, that type of thing.

161
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Clark Schmidt could be back in a couple of weeks.

162
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: Rotation could definitely use him. We're gonna talk a little

163
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: bit in a few minutes about pitchers that could be available,

164
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: specifically Sandy al Kantara for the Miami Marlins, who are

165
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: also known to make early trades in the season and

166
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: have no reason to try and compete this year, so

167
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. But Clark Schmidt could be rejoining

168
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: the rotation. That will likely spell the end of the

169
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: line for Adam Warren. I'm sorry, Will Warren. I told

170
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: you I was gonna call Will Warren Adam Warren one

171
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: hundred times this year, probably more. But that should be

172
00:10:50,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: the end of him unless somebody else gets injured. Jonathan

173
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: whys Ago gave an update on him today and they

174
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: said that he is possibly gonna come back in May,

175
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: maybe June at the latest. We could definitely use him.

176
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: I mean around June, our bullpen is gonna be waxed.

177
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: I think if the starters don't start giving us more so,

178
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: I really think it's on Brian Cashman to go out

179
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and get somebody a little bit earlier this year, and

180
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: then Stanton and Heel. Who knows mid season. Maybe Stanton

181
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 1: is already hitting off of the traject machine. He's a

182
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: DH so I'm not sure how the ramp up process

183
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: is gonna work with him. He usually doesn't go to

184
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: the minor leagues anymore. When he's coming back from one

185
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: of these rehabs, he just hits off the traject machine,

186
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: and then one day he's in the lineup, and for

187
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: the next three weeks he goes seven for eighty and

188
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: then he starts hitting again. That's what we can expect.

189
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: I expect him back at some point, maybe in May,

190
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: maybe late May, but I expect him to start hitting

191
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: sometime around the All Star break. And with the way

192
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: Ben Rice is hitting and swinging the bat, producing crazy

193
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: exit velocity, hitting home runs, I'm sure they're not in

194
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: a rush to get John Carlo back. All right, So

195
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about some guys who could be available. I

196
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: want to first talk about Sandy al Kantara. Now you

197
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: might ask yourself, why would the Marlins make a deal

198
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: so early in the season, Well, they probably won't, but

199
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: last year they did trade Luisa Rise in May, which

200
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: is pretty early. Most pitchers don't even try, or most

201
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: gms rather don't even try to make trades that early.

202
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: They wait until closer to the deadline. You know, teams

203
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: get more desperate. But this might be one of those

204
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: years where cashman has to go out on a limb

205
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: and be aggressive and maybe even overpay a little bit.

206
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Now looking at Sandy al Kantara six five, two hundred pounds,

207
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: just a big dude. In twenty twenty two, the same

208
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: year that Judge and Goldschmid won MVPs, he was the

209
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: National League SI Young Award winner. He went fourteen to

210
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: nine with a two point two eight ERA. He made

211
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: thirty two starts through two hundred and twenty eight and

212
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: two thirds innings and had two hundred and seven strikeouts.

213
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: He's a sinker baller, keeps him all on the ground.

214
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: It's ninety six point seven miles an hour. It's got

215
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: a change up. He'll throw the four seamer up there,

216
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: ninety seven, got a curve and a slider. Now you

217
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: look at his metrics and his pitching run value, his

218
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: breaking ball value, his fastball value, everything off speed value.

219
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: Everything is well above average. Ground ball rate among the

220
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: best in the league. If I'm Brian Cashman, I'm going

221
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: to the Marlins, and I'm saying, what will it take

222
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: to get a deal for this guy right now, right now?

223
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Anything short of George Lombard Junior. I think you got

224
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger. I mean, if they want Spencer Jones,

225
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: they want you know, let's say Roderick As maybe one

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: or two others. I think you have to pull the trigger.

227
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: This guy is a difference maker, and he's the guy

228
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: that we're gonna put our focus on this year until

229
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: he gets moved, because I think he is the answer

230
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: to a lot of problems. While Garrett Cole is down.

231
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: Another guy now, this one I think is less likely,

232
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's a non zero chance, as we

233
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: like to say, Michael King. He's made two starts so far,

234
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: seven two thirds innings and fourteen strikeouts, so he's got

235
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: the swing and miss stuff happening right now. Still among

236
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: the better off speed pitches in the league, change up

237
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: guy mostly these days, throws a sweeper, throws a sinker,

238
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: can still pop up the fastball in there at ninety

239
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: four miles an hour. Still got a slider, but he's

240
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: just incredibly difficult to hit because he's got good command,

241
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: he's got really good stuff, Gonna be a free agent,

242
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: and he's gonna test the waters because he's gonna get paid.

243
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: So the Padres are at a crossroad. They have to

244
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: decide do we want to trade this guy while we're

245
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: competitive and piss off our fan base, or do we

246
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: want to hang on to him and try and go

247
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: deep in the playoffs with him and risk losing him

248
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: and getting nothing for him. With as aggressive as aj

249
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Preller is in going for it, that's a really interesting

250
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: problem for him to face because I could see him

251
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: trying to move King in a deal that also allows

252
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: them to stay competitive, Right, so you get maybe another

253
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: picture back that has more control. Will warrn anybody? Nah,

254
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're that stupid. No, But I could

255
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: see them making a deal if they got something of

256
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: value in return that would help them win. But I

257
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: could also see them going all in and just saying, hey,

258
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: we'll try and resign Michael King in the off season.

259
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know if that's gonna happen because there's

260
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: all sorts of like ownership disputes. You know, the owner

261
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: of the Padres died last year. His widow and his

262
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: the rest of his family. I believe his sons are

263
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: vying for control of the franchise, and it sounds like

264
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: they're having some money issues and they're not gonna want

265
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: to commit a ton of money. So those are two

266
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: guys that we need to keep our eyes on, and

267
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I think that maybe al Contera can be had. I

268
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: think the Yankees could figure out a way to make

269
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: that happen. So anyway, let's go ahead and take a

270
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: few more comments from the audience. Matt Parade says trading

271
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: for King would hurt their pride. Traded him for Soto

272
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: than Los Soto just to get King back. Well, we've

273
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: seen Cashman reacquire guys multiple times. I mean, we just

274
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: saw it with Altavino, We saw it with Javier Vasquez,

275
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: Nick Johnson. I mean, he brings guys back that he

276
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: knows are comfortable in the organization. David says Jazz is

277
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: becoming a strikeout machine. He has gotten himself into launch mode.

278
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: The guy is dead set on pounding home runs. Bean

279
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: Berna says, I have a weird gut feeling that King

280
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: wants to be a Yankee again. You know, he liked

281
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: it with the Yankees, and playing with the Yankees for

282
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: such a long time, you get used to certain levels

283
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: of like guess, comfort, luxury. I'm not sure that the

284
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: Padres have that level of comfort and luxury. Maybe. I'm

285
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: sure they treat their players very well, but you talk

286
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: about things like the food, the restaurant the Yankees have

287
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: for their players, things like that, the training facilities, spring

288
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: training facilities. You know, you're not in some sweaty locker room.

289
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: You're in an amazing, major league quality clubhouse. And that's

290
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: not true of every team. I have no idea what

291
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: the facilities are like with the Padres, but when consit

292
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: ding where he's going to be for his next contract,

293
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's going to consider the Yankees because he's

294
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: comfortable there and he knows he's had success there, and

295
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: I think the Yankees are going to want him, and

296
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: I think the Yankees will spend to bring him back. Yankees'

297
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: legend says can't rely on Stroman and Warren in a

298
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: penance chase. Wouldn't be shocked if Stroman gets dfade or

299
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: iled at the end of the season to prevent his

300
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty innings pitched. Mark I don't think

301
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: they would. I l him for that, especially if he's

302
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: not hurt. They the league just came down on Billy

303
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: Eppler for the fake, you know, il trip roster workaround thing,

304
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that Stroman, being who he is, would

305
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 1: object vocally and publicly if the Yankees ielled him when

306
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't hurt. But if he has the slightest injury

307
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: that is justifiable. You can bet your ass they're going

308
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: to put him on the al at some point to

309
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: keep him from getting that mark because there's eighteen million

310
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: dollars that comes attached with one hundred and forty in

311
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: the mark. And as we've seen so far this year,

312
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: he has not looked good. He has not looked good.

313
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. Obviously, a tough day for

314
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Andy Campione says, I trust King, go get

315
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: it done, cash Man, Let's hope. So definitely need someone.

316
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: Irasperra says Rodin can't handle the pressure of being a

317
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: number one starter. He's not even the number one starter.

318
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess technically mathematically he is, but I

319
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: don't think there's any delusion that he's better than Max

320
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: Freed at this point. Come on, come on, all right,

321
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. Tough day for the Yanks. If you

322
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: missed it, you didn't miss a whole lot. Offense didn't

323
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: do much. Hopefully we'll get back at it tomorrow. But

324
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: with Tarik Skubele on the mound against Carlos Carrasco, you

325
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,360
