1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: All right, but it is Sinko Tomayo, May fifth, and 2 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: the Yankees were taking on the Padres at a rainy 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Yankee stadium in game one of a three game set. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Trent Grisham was handing out the free mustache rides, but 5 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,119 Speaker 1: would it be enough to stop the mighty Padres? My 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: recap your reactions coming up next act. This is pin 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: strike Territory. Wanted to talk, that's all. Well, sometimes you win, 8 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: sometimes you lose, and sometimes it rains, and sometimes two 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: of those things happen at the same time. Yankees drop 10 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: a tough one another bullpen implosion, at least the knixt one, 11 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: so some of you will undoubtedly have that to fall 12 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: back on. We got to call this morning that somebody 13 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: said we should never hand out the bum and nobody's 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: ever deserving of the bumb of the night, and I 15 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 1: have to say a wholehearted disagree. Listen, Devin Williams imploded again. Uh, 16 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: there's no way around it. Weaver had a tough night tonight, too, 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: but this one is on Devin Williams. Two thirds of 18 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: an inning, one hit, three runs, two walks, two strikeouts. 19 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: His e R now on the season ten point oh three. 20 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: If that's not a bum I don't know what is. 21 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Why didn't Boone leave Cruise in? He threw two pitches 22 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: in the seventh inning. He threw two pitches. Now, why 23 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: waste him unless he's hurt. Unless he's hurt, there is 24 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: zero excuse for taking Cruise out of that game. He 25 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: threw two pitches. So you just want to use Williams 26 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: against a really good team. You want to just spend 27 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: an extra bullpen arm for no reason. Really, really, I 28 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: don't get it. Some of Boone's decisions lately have just 29 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: been absolutely baffling. We got some calls tonight that I'll play, 30 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: and I'll play him throughout the show tonight, because you 31 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: guys are ticked off. We're gonna start off with Brian. 32 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: Man. Boone has been making some super questionable pen decisions 33 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: when uh Brus comes into the game there and gets 34 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: the only better he sees out, not even throwing three 35 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: pitches on that weird pass ball that didn't go. 36 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 3: Why would you not bring him back. 37 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: In the in the eighth He's he's been the team's 38 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: second best reliever this year. 39 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: We all have eyes, we. 40 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 5: Can see, and Williams has been the worst reliever on 41 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: the team absolutely, just like earlier this week when when 42 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 5: we brought Lighter in in a high leverage situation, What 43 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 5: what are we doing with these with these pen decisions? 44 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: Another tough night for the Yankees, and look what a 45 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: waste of an unbelievable performance by Carlos Rodan. He was 46 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: absolutely tremendous tonight. He has been terrific. That's four great 47 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: games in a row for Carlos Rodan. He deserved a 48 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: win tonight and the team deserved a win. But questionable 49 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: bullpen decisions and a guy who is clearly not cut 50 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: out for New York again pitching in a high leverage situation. 51 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I know the other day I said I'd be okay 52 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: with him pitching in a three run situation. I change 53 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: my mind. I don't ever want him in a game 54 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: where we're winning. You want to pitch him when we're losing, 55 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: when we're down, to eat up innings and maybe try 56 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: and keep the game close. Sure can't handle tough situations. 57 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he just can't do it. He's afraid of contact. 58 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: It's the walks that kill you. It's not even necessarily 59 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: that he's getting hit hard, it's the walks. God is 60 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: there anything worse than watching a freakin relief pitcher walk 61 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: guys and put guys on base and put your team 62 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: in a position where a base hit or a bloop 63 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: single or whatever can't beat you. Just absolutely horrible. And 64 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: people saw it coming. 65 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: There. 66 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 6: This is Willie. 67 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 4: I'm calling you, Earic we in Bend that blowed his 68 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 4: game because Cruise didn't even taste to nobody on the right. 69 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: And bring kru back in for the eighth cent If 70 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: he blows it, I'm going all the way up to 71 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: New York and punch him in the face. Wow. 72 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: Well, I don't recommend punching anyone, but look, I think 73 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: it's fair to say that every Yankees fan watching this 74 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 1: game when they found out Cruise was out of the game, 75 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: had the same reaction. Why why two pitches? Absolutely unacceptable? 76 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's go, let's get it going. So let's 77 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: go through the recap and we'll take your comments and 78 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: play some voicemails along the way. But undoubtedly one of 79 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: the worst losses of the season. That's the fifth time 80 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,799 Speaker 1: that the Yankees have blown Elite and lost the game, 81 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: and it's May fifth. May fifth. We're on pace to 82 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: doing about twenty five times this year, absolutely atrocious look. 83 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: Game started out okay, beautiful playing left field from Cody Bellinger, 84 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: and once again Dimingez was on the bench. Probably wouldn't 85 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: have caught that, but they got Dimingaz in the game 86 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: late with two outs in the ninth inning, pouring rain 87 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: against the toughest closer in baseball. That's a great way 88 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: to develop the kid if you've ever played baseball in 89 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: the rain. Though, it is fun to slide on the 90 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: grass and make catches like that. So Yankees missed an 91 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: opportunity right away. Judge walked and then Rice ripped a 92 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: double into the corner. Judge tried to score on a 93 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: misplay at second base. Nice recovery by Xander Bogars to 94 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: throw him out. Aggressive play didn't work out. Typically you 95 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: don't want to get on a guy for aggressive play 96 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: like that, because it really did take a good defensive 97 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: play by Xander. I don't blame Judge for trying to 98 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: be aggressive there trying to steal a run. You know, 99 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: the ball was probably slippery, you might have a little 100 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: clump of dirt on it. You figure Bogart's got his 101 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: back to the plate. It's gonna be a difficult play 102 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: to retrieve that ball and throw home. But he did 103 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: and he got judged, So you tip your cap there 104 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: to him, by the way, thirty one straight games on 105 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: base for Aaron Judge. Tonight he was zero for three, though, 106 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: and is down to four fourteen d faim. Tyler Wade 107 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: was in the lineup for the Padres. I totally forgot 108 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: that they even had Tyler Wade. He attempted a couple 109 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: of bunts in his first at bat and screwed him 110 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: both up and then struck out on an ugly swing. 111 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: The more things change, the more they stay the same. 112 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: I told you guys, I'm working on a book about 113 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: the Yankees and my favorite Yankees memories, and also part 114 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: of that is gonna be players I couldn't stand watching, 115 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: and Tyler Wade just reminded me to put him on 116 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: that list. Trent Grisham went deep in the third, a 117 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 1: shot into the second deck. You know, we complain about 118 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: how they keep sitting Domingos, but tonight Bellinger makes the 119 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: great catch, Grisham hits the two run home run. Or 120 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: what are you gonna do? You gotta get Grisham in 121 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: the lineup right now. He continues to hit he had 122 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: a home run and a walk. He's hitting two ninety 123 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: eight with a one point zero one zero ops and 124 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: he just continues to crank baseballs. Nine home runs all 125 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: of last year. And here we are on Sinco to Maya. 126 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: He's already got nine more, so gonna go way past 127 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: that number. By the way, Vivas was on base, he 128 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: worked a walk. Very tough at bat. I love his 129 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: eye at the plate, but please, can we get this 130 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: guy a helmet that fits his head every time he swings. 131 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: This is what happens he swings, hell, catch my helmet. 132 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: Come on, Ken, Ken, you sul we should have to 133 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: deal with jokes about wear a chin strap. Come on, 134 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: put on a helmet that fits europe Major League Baseball player. 135 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: Twenty eight minute rain delay in the fourth inning. Yankees 136 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: did manufacture a run in the sixth base hit from 137 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: Goldie Knox. He stole second, got the third on a 138 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: bad throw, and then Volpi brought him in with a 139 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: sack fly Volpy back in the lineup, Welcome back. Rodin 140 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: was done after six and two third phenomenal innings. I'll 141 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: talk about him more in a minute. Yankees got a 142 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: little bit of a break. Padres ran themselves out of 143 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: the inning. And it's funny. When I talked to Kyle 144 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Glazer of Friar Territory last night on the episode that 145 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: aired this morning, his big question was can the Yankees 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: still not run the bases? And I thought about that 147 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: when that happened, But anyway, that's baseball. Susan Tattoos and 148 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: Shilt both got ejected in the eighth inning for arguing 149 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: balls and strikes, and then Devin Williams three to nothing lead, 150 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: he ends up walking couple of hitters, giving up a 151 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: base hit, left the bases loaded. They went to Weaver. 152 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: He didn't have his best stuff tonight, couldn't get the 153 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: fastball by Machado. A couple of hits later, it was 154 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: four to three Padres and once they have the lead, 155 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: their bullpen is lock down and it's time for Devin 156 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 1: Williams to go. I'm sorry. I'll drive him to the 157 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: airport myself. We got to give a shout out to 158 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin, who did not deserve the fate of a 159 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: no decision tonight. He's in one of those stretches that 160 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: he tends to go on. We'll see how long he 161 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: can keep it going. But four really good ones in 162 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: a row zero point seven zero ERI over that stretch, 163 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: and we have to give this guy credit. He was 164 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: getting punched in the mouth repeatedly, more than Peter McNeely 165 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: early on in this season, but he's done a complete 166 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: one eighty and he's pitching like one of the best 167 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: pitchers in baseball right now. You know, it's a shame 168 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: that the bullpen can't hold a lead, because he deserved it. Tonight. 169 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: He deserved a w With some pictures, you can tell 170 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: right away if they're gonna have a good night or 171 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: a bad night. Rodind's not like that, in my opinion, 172 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: because he can you he can be cruising and dominating 173 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: for three four innings and then fall apart. But tonight 174 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: he just kept dealing. And lately he's been more efficient. 175 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: He's been getting deeper into games because his pitch mix 176 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: has been better, throwing the sinker more, throwing the change 177 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: up more, and that makes his fastball and his slider 178 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: more effective, which is why you're seeing more strikeouts. You're 179 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: also seeing him get deeper into games because here's are 180 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: fouling off less pitches. He's not pumping fast after fastball 181 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: after fastball letting guys get their timing on it. He's 182 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: mixing up pitches, he's keeping guys off balance. Genuinely, gotta 183 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: be concerned about that change up in that sinker this year, 184 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: fantastic job by Carlos rodin six and two thirds innings, 185 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: three hits, no runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. I 186 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: gotta give him the nice performance, even though we don't 187 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: typically do this for losses, but tonight I felt like 188 00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: it was a hard earned, no decision, tough luck performance 189 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: behind the dishes. Chance Cole can pitch in the playoffs, playoffs. 190 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: You're talking about playoffs. We're trying to win a game. 191 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about playoffs. George Lombard Junior. In case you 192 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: missed the series kickoff podcast, I mentioned he got promoted 193 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: to Double A from Hudson Valley to Somerset, considering he 194 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: doesn't turn twenty for about another three weeks. He got 195 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 1: the same birthday as my mom, June second. He is 196 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: moving up the ladder quickly, and there are people who 197 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: will be drafted this year who will be older than 198 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: George Lombard. Who is you know already in you know 199 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: Double A as a teenager. So the question now becomes. 200 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: How far away is he. We've seen players debut for 201 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: the Yankees at twenty years old. Dominguez was the most recent. 202 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: He debuted approximately at the age Lombard will be in 203 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: this so it's not out of the realm of possibility 204 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: that he begins next year in the major leagues. So 205 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep a really close eye on him in 206 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: Double A this year. Rarely do you see the Yankees 207 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: be hyper aggressive with the prospect. Phil Hughes was up 208 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: at twenty, Anthony Vopi was up at twenty one, Melchi 209 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: Cabrero was up at twenty. All ended up being quality 210 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: major league players. You know, people have their qualms about 211 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: Hughes's tenure with the Yankees, but he had some good 212 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: years with the Twins also and Volpie you know, I mean, 213 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: say what you want. He's a three and a half 214 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: win player, you know that came up at twenty one, 215 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: and Melki Cabrera had a nice year. He had the 216 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: steroid thing, but he won a batting title, and you know, 217 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: he had some good years. We'll see how he performs 218 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: at Double A. I mean, if he tears up the league, 219 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: I expect him to be promoted to Triple A by 220 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: the end of the season, probably early September. You know, 221 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: maybe he gets two or three weeks against Triple A pitchers, 222 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: which for the most part, are not gonna be as 223 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: talented as the Double A pitchers in terms of stuff. 224 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: The better prospects tend to be at Double A, especially 225 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: during this part of the season. But at the end 226 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: of the season, some of those guys get promoted and 227 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: then other guys you know, you know, from the from 228 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: the Triple A squad, get called up to the major 229 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: leagues to you know, fill in on depleted pitching staff. 230 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: So I'm sure he'll face some decent pitchers along the way, 231 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: but he's got to get there first. 232 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: You know. 233 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Part of it is also just playing in front of 234 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: bigger crowds, playing at better ballparks. There's a big step 235 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: from Double A to Triple A. So he's got to 236 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: get through Double A. He's got a hit. Everything we've 237 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: heard about Lombard Junior is right in line with the 238 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 1: Yankees hype machine for their prospects. But he's one of 239 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: those few guys that you watch him in spring training 240 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: and you see he really jumps off the field or 241 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: jumps off the screen. Compared to the other prospects. I mean, 242 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: he's athletic, he makes unbelievable play, He's got a great arm. 243 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: Domingez was the same way a couple of years ago 244 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: offensively before he got hurt. I remember there was that 245 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: spring where he hit about four or five home runs. 246 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: But George Lombard Junior already has the defensive portion of 247 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: the game figured out. We hear that he's an elite defender. 248 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: He hit three twenty nine with one home run and 249 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: a nine eighty three ops at High A. So we're 250 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: really just finding out, you know, what he's gonna do offensively. 251 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Can he conquer minor league pitching from the offensive side, 252 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: And if he can, you might see him up here quick. 253 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: We've seen other guys move through the miners very quick 254 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: in recent years. Jackson Holiday, another guy who comes from 255 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: a baseball lineage, was drafted. You know, I believe he 256 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: was seventeen when he was drafted, might be and it 257 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: might have been eighteen, but he made it to the 258 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: major leagues. Last year struggled a little bit, but this 259 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: year he's playing really well since about mid April. Hit 260 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: a couple of home runs the other day, So we're 261 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: gonna keep an eye on Lombard Junior back with your 262 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: responses and comments about Devin Williams and the meltdown.

So we got some super chats to get 289 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: to Richard c With a couple of them, he says 290 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: the closer role is cursed since Mo left. I thought 291 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: Soriano was pretty good. And then he also says, I 292 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: consider trading Volpi because a Lombard. I think they might 293 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: put Lombard at third base. I think you know he's 294 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: got the arm to do it. You gotta have a 295 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: good arm to play third base, and his is very strong. 296 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: They you can't put Volpi at thirty. He doesn't have 297 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: the arm. I mean, I guess he probably could, but 298 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: I'd prefer not to move him even further away from 299 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: first base. And it seems like they like Jazz at 300 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: second base. You like Jazz. But I don't think they're 301 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: gonna trade Vulpi. I think they're gonna continue with him. 302 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: The rowdy Rattel says Baboon Gunna Baboon stupid is as 303 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: stupid does, and then referee says, stop fire Boone, just 304 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: three more years? Just signed for three more years? Yeah 305 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: that contract. I don't know about that, man, So you know, 306 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: tough night. Let's play a couple more voicemails here. 307 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: Man Boone has been making some super questionable. 308 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: Quicked on the wrong one, iick, I quicked on the 309 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: wrong one? Hang on, we got this one Michael King. 310 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 6: Derek Danny from California in the rain delay in the 311 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 6: game and their interviewing team, and it just made me think, 312 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 6: if we could sign him next offseason, just. 313 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: Think what our rotation would be. Cole, rodn Freed, team Heel, 314 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 4: and Clark Schmidt would be a fill in. That'd be 315 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 4: probably the greatest rotation of. 316 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: All time anyways, the greatest rotations of all time, but 317 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: it would be pretty good. I don't think you can 318 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: count on Garrett Cole coming back as the ace right away. 319 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: Usually there's an adjustment period. Maybe by mid season he 320 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: can he can be back to himself, but I'd probably 321 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: put him at the back of the rotation to begin 322 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: next year if he's ready at the beginning of the season. 323 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: But he might not even be ready. You know, you 324 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: know when the season begins. But you know, Freed looking 325 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: like the real deal. Rodin seems to have turned a corner. 326 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: So that's good. You know, he's gone from meatballs to 327 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: goose eggs, and you know, hell will see what he 328 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: is when he comes back. You know, maybe you can 329 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: move Clark Schmidt to the bullpen and Phil some innings 330 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: in the bullpen because he's not a guy that gets 331 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: deep into the game anyway, So it'd be interesting to 332 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: see how that all shakes out. 333 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek Halorey's favorite talk from the Catskills.
