1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Just wanted to pull a catch all.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 2: All right, how's it going everybody? Final day of the

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Subway series that we've been waiting for. And honestly, even

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: though the Yankees lost Game two, I'm not like crushed

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: about it. I kind of expected them to lose Game two.

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: The Mets had the advantage, at least statistically in the

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: pitching matchup. Now, Clark Schmidt, to be fair, pitched a

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: pretty good game. But Canning, I mean he was great,

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: and the offense just came up a little bit short.

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: I feel like we could have used a little bit

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: more small ball. We got some calls about the missed

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: opportunity to bunt yesterday. I was surprised to find out

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: that Vivas never attempted a bunt in his minor league career.

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: That's I mean, every player should have to bunt. I mean,

15
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: is this just an absurd part of development these days

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: or what young players especially should be expected to bunt

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: when they get to the major leagues. Now, I don't

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: expect Aaron juddh bu right. I mean, he should be

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: able to, but I don't think you would ever have

20
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: to ask him to bunt. And once you become a

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 2: you know, fifty home run guy in the major leagues

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: yet you're probably not expected to bunt. But when you

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,559
Speaker 2: arrive in the major leagues and you have done nothing yet,

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: you basically should be able to execute all the fundamentals,

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: whether that's bunting, whether that's hitting and running, picking up

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: the baseball. And the fact that they never even gave

27
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: this guy a chance to bunt in the minor leagues

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: is absurd. Also, someone made a mock up of Juan Soto.

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: It was one of those AI creations of Juan Soto,

30
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: kind of insulting Yankee sins, and I think a couple

31
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: of people got fooled by it. I'm gonna go ahead

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: and play one of the voicemails that we got.

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, this is worth a Yankee one. Soto really

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: don't know about Yankee fans. Oh tonight, he is going

35
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: to get it. What he said about them, what he

36
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: said about Judge, talking about villagic carrying carrying him.

37
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: So if you go and search for the Juan Soto comments,

38
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: because I saw a few calls about this, or heard

39
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: a few calls about this, and so I started it.

40
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: And it's by a channel called Dangerous AI, which should

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: tell you something that it's AI generated Now it's it's

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 2: I mean deep fake would be one of the words

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: that you've heard if you're unfamiliar with this. Basically, these days,

44
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: computer technology has gotten so good that you can clone

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: someone's voice, and you can take their face and kind

46
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 2: of make it look like they're talking, and you can

47
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: put it on a video. You know, that's either they're

48
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: already in or someone similar to them is in. In

49
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: this case, they took one of Juan Soto's conversations after

50
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: a game with a reporter and put a remix of

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: his audio, and it was basically insulting Aaron Judge and

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: all this stuff and saying, oh, he's not clutch. He

53
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: was zero for five. YadA, YadA, YadA. It's fake. It's

54
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: fake porched, you got porched. It's listen. Technology is gonna

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 2: do this to people, especially the folks who are maybe

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: a little bit in the older generation and are unfamiliar

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: with some of the capabilities that exist out there. But

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: this is something you've really got to watch for. And

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm being serious, there's a lot of misinformation out there.

60
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot of rage bait. People are using technology

61
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: for nefarious reasons. AI is gonna do a lot of

62
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: great things. It's gonna help out with like you know, medicine,

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: and it's gonna help out with making our jobs easier hopefully.

64
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 2: But it's also gonna lead to a lot of this

65
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 2: type of stuff, this type of confusion. So Willie check

66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: your sources on that. It was definitely fake.

67
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: Yo, what's up Derek Matt out here in California? Oh, man,

68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 4: I think you should have before, But I wonder why

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: they're not given Ben Rice reps at third. It kills

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: me when he's out of the lineup, especially on these

71
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: games where we need that clutch fit and then we

72
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: got you know, uh Pros and Vivas like at the

73
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: bottom end. That that kills me. Uh you know, let

74
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: me he's looking good at second, so let's get let's

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 4: get Rice in there and have a pretty solid infield.

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: And so here's here's the thing. He doesn't play third base.

77
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: There is this old adage in baseball that if you

78
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: can play first base, you can play third base, or

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 2: if you can play third base, you can play first base,

80
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: because they're basically mirror images of each other in terms

81
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: of like how the ball gets to you, right, I

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 2: mean they're both kind of like hot corners. The third

83
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 2: base hot corner. It gets more action because there's more

84
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: right handed hitters in baseball. And look, he should be

85
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: able to pick it fine if you put it at

86
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: third base. But there's a lot of other things other

87
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 2: than just catching the ball right. There's bunt defense. There's

88
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: you know, positional backups, there's you know, throwing, there's turning

89
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: double plays, all this stuff, and if he hasn't played it,

90
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: and he hasn't practiced it, you can't expect him to

91
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: be good at it, and it will cost you games.

92
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: So right now, what they're planning to do is they

93
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: are going to basically use Ben Rice as the d

94
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: H slash backup first baseman slash maybe second catcher, third

95
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: catcher slash pinch hitter. And that's what's gonna happen. My

96
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: stream deck is messing up here, but you know he's

97
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: he's gonna get it bats. He's not gonna get as

98
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: many as I'm sure he would like or at a

99
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: consistent position, but that's just the position that we are

100
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: in as a team. But I agree with you, he

101
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: needs to be in the lineup, especially on days like

102
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: yesterday where you need to win. You got a right

103
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 2: handed pitcher on the mount. Got Tyler here, says Derek.

104
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: It's Tyler calling from Connecticut.

105
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 5: It's about DJ with ma man.

106
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: Something different about swing this year. You know, it looked like, yes,

107
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: that he was catching up the fastball, the high fastball,

108
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: wasn't getting blown by. Its wondering is you can do

109
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a breakdown. Maybe it almost looks

110
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: like last year his hands were moving a little bit

111
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: too much. They weren't still before he was hitting. And

112
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: that's probably a little bit of disconnection. Now I'm assuming

113
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: he worked on in the offseason because if you look

114
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: at it this year, his hands are his hands are still.

115
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: I could be tripping.

116
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: I maybe I didn't do a big enough sample size

117
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: of studying.

118
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 6: But that's just what it looks like.

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: Let me know what you think.

120
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: We can go ahead and take a look at that.

121
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: Let's just go ahead and pull up DJ LeMay Who's

122
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Baseball Savant page. And I don't know that they'll have

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 2: his hits from this year registered on here yet, but

124
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: we'll we'll double check. But I mean it makes sense

125
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: less hand movement, maybe like having his aunt's position a

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: little bit better can you know, maybe help him get

127
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 2: to the ball a little bit better. So here's what

128
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: we're gonna do. We're gonna pull up a hit from

129
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: yesterday or from a couple nights ago. And I don't

130
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: have anything from last year available. It doesn't look like

131
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: on here, but we can maybe find something on Baseball

132
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: Savants Baseball Theater. Maybe. All right, let's do a little

133
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: breakdown so it would make sense that he made some

134
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: adjustments because he's been awful the last couple of years.

135
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: But you know whatever, the tiny mechanical things he has

136
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: to do don't really you know, don't really matter to me.

137
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: I just want him to hit the ball hard. We're

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: gonna take a look at last year. I'm gonna go

139
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: back about six pages here. So I'm on this website

140
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: called Baseball Baseball Theater. Okay, so here is a here's

141
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: something from August twenty twenty four. I've got on here.

142
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: They're gonna have sound. Come on, hang on just a second.

143
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: I should have practiced this. But let's go ahead and

144
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 2: look at this one from this year. How's that? So

145
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: his hands are definitely behind his head. I see the

146
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: same kind of waggle. He doesn't look like his knees

147
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: are bent quite as much as they used to be.

148
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: But most importantly, I think what you see right here,

149
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: watch his feet. Watch his feet. He really turns on

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: that back foot. I mean, he really explodes with the

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: lower half. Now let's go ahead and find something from

152
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: last year. Now this is oh, it makes your watch

153
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: commercials and if you change the freaking if you change

154
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 2: the tab, the commercial stops. So we're not we're not

155
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: going to get a copyright strike over DJ. Lemayhew, I'm sorry.

156
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: So basically, yeah, it appears like his legs are a

157
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: little bit more under him this year. So whatever it is,

158
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: I just hope he keeps it going.

159
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: I keep saying, this guy is not a good man again,

160
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: Man a man, Man.

161
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 5: What happened to Bunsen?

162
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: Get the runner over?

163
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 6: It will be three to two, we will come.

164
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: Into nine and it's over.

165
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: Man, I don't understand.

166
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Boone had a tough day yesterday. We got a

167
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: question here from Richard C. Says, what was DJ's exit

168
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: velocity last year? So last year it was eighty eight

169
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 2: point five and this year so far, in basically seven

170
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: batted balls, it's ninety three point two. So it's up

171
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 2: this would be the highest of his career. Let's go

172
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: ahead and dig through this. But yeah, tough day for boone.

173
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 2: So this is last year eighty eight point five mile

174
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: an hour exit velocity. Year before that it was eighty

175
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: nine point six. Year before that eighty nine point two.

176
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 2: Going back to twenty twenty when he won the batting title,

177
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: it was ninety one point three. So far, again, very

178
00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 2: very few batted balls, just seven batted ball and he's

179
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: hit fourteen percent of him on the barrel. He's got

180
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 2: an exit velocity of ninety three. Now that is way

181
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: too small of a sample size to get too excited about.

182
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: But look, if he's healthy and hitting the ball hard,

183
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: he's an asset. Right. We all thought he was done.

184
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: He looked done the last two years to me, last

185
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: year especially, But if he's back, like I said yesterday,

186
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: that changes the calculus. This is Steve.

187
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 6: Y is Derek Steve from Farmington.

188
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 4: Fatly evidence is mounting.

189
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 1: Judge cannot handle pressure, Josh.

190
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: He hit a game winning home run four days ago. Jesus,

191
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 2: four days ago he hit a home run. How short

192
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 2: is your memory? Does he have to hit a game

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: winning home run every day? I mean? That is that

194
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 2: what it's gonna take. Does he have to hit a

195
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: game winning home run every single game of the season

196
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: for you guys. Look, he's had some tough postseasons. I

197
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 2: get it. He's also hit multiple walk off home runs

198
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: in his career. He hits a ton of go ahead

199
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: home runs, go ahead hits, go ahead RBI's. The guy's

200
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: hitting over four hundred this year. Is he a little

201
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: bit inconsistent in the tough spots, Sure, but everybody is.

202
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: We're holding him to a ridiculous standard. Come on, come

203
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: on a little bit better than that.

204
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 5: Hey, this is Tom. I'm just clawing because I thought

205
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: it was kind of messed up that that guy was

206
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 5: saying that Judge wasn't looking good for one day. I

207
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 5: mean one day. Now I'm sixty one years old, you know,

208
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 5: and I could see it's the best player in my lifetime.

209
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 5: I have a good day.

210
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 2: Thank you, appreciate the call man. He is the best

211
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 2: I've seen. I mean, there's no doubt about it. Hitting

212
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: four h two so far this year in two hundred

213
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: and five played appearances, one hundred and seventy four bats,

214
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: fifteen home runs, three hundred and thirty home runs already

215
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: for Aaron Judge and he just debuted in twenty seventeen.

216
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: So batting run value best in the league. I mean,

217
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: he's the best in the league at almost everything offensively.

218
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 2: One hundredth percentile means there's nobody better. Batting run value

219
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: ex wOBA, expected batting average, expected slugging barrel percentage all

220
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: best in the league, ninety ninth percentile. In average exit velocity,

221
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: he averages ninety five point five miles an hour launch

222
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: angle sweet spot in the eighty eighth percent stile. Imagine

223
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 2: if he gets that up into the hundredth percentile. With

224
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: how hard he hits the baseball, his chase percentage has

225
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: gotten way better. His walk percentage is ridiculous. And guess

226
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: what now that he's playing right field defensively, he is

227
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: a stud Again, he should have never been playing center field.

228
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: I get he made some nice plays he did okay,

229
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: but the man's a right fielder, always has been. And

230
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 2: just to I'm just sick of the slander about this guy.

231
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a cloud that hovers over him in

232
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: his career until he wins a World Series, the same

233
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: thing that hovered over a rod. But you know what,

234
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: it's coming it's coming quick word from our sponsor, than

235
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: back with more of your voicemails. And in baseball, as

236
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: in life, it's all about having that extra edge, that

237
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: little extra half second of a swing, the late break

238
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: on a slider, or the grit to outlast your opponent

239
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: on a hot afternoon. Same goes for shaving. Harry's gives

240
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: you the edge where it counts. I tried the five

241
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: dollars trial set, and honestly, it's like the ace of

242
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: my bathroom. Rotate, the handles weighted just right, the razor

243
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: is smooth, and the foaming shavegel lathers better than anything

244
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: I have used before. I keep my beard tight around

245
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: the jawline, clean edges, no irritation. Harry's handles it with ease.

246
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: Even the packaging is big league. And their body wash

247
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: I've got the redwood set. It's like a fresh cut

248
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: field on opening day. Get the edge on your shave

249
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: with Harry's razors. Normally their trial set is ten dollars,

250
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: but right now you can get it for just five

251
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: dollars at Harry's dot com slash stripe. That's Harry's dot

252
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: com slash stripe for a five dollar trial set what

253
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: are you here?

254
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 5: What do you say?

255
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 2: All right? So a couple of things. I want to

256
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: show you guys. This other way to look at games

257
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 2: before the game on baseball Savant, we do have a

258
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 2: super chat here. This is from curbs. He says, donation

259
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: to wash that trash, take out of everyone's ears, and

260
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: let's just take a look at the This is on

261
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 2: baseballsavant dot com. It shows the two teams and batted

262
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: ball events and stat cast numbers. So batted ball events

263
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 2: is BB that's the number of times that they put

264
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: the ball in play. Basically, see Francisco Lindor has more

265
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: than anybody on either team. And just like when it

266
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: shows the stat cast rankings, whether it's red or like

267
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: a pinkish or a blue or darker blue, it shows

268
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: you where guys rank in kind of a different context

269
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: and next to each other. So for instance, if you

270
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: look at exit velocity right, it will show you everyone

271
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: in the lineups. Ev So Paul Goldsmith with one hundred

272
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 2: and forty batted ball events has an exit velocity of

273
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: eighty nine point seven. Pretty good, but you know, maybe

274
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: league average. See it's just got a white background. Judge

275
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: bright red ninety five point five, because we know he's

276
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: in the top percentile. But if you look at us,

277
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the exit velocity on this team is really good.

278
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: Jason and Dominga's is over ninety now he has taken

279
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 2: it upwards in recent Remember when Aiden was on about

280
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 2: maybe ten days ago or so, he was expressing that

281
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: he was disappointed in Dimingu's exit velocity, and a lot

282
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: of that was because he was hitting soft fly balls

283
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: to the opposite field. But he's been pulling the ball

284
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: more from the left side more and as a right

285
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: handed hitter, he's been hitting the ball harder. So his

286
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: exit velocity is up to ninety point five. And you

287
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: can sort by whatever stat you want, so you can

288
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: see he ranks ahead of like Piaza, Bellinger, Goldschmidt, and

289
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: right now DJ's at ninety three point two. You see

290
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: Trent Grisham at ninety one. He's been phenomenal. Anthony Volpi

291
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 2: has a ninety one mile an hour exit velocity expected

292
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: our ex wobo. Here we go. This is a great

293
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: stat to kind of look at the overall value and

294
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: then expected batting average, like what do they expect him

295
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: to hit on the batted ball events that they've had

296
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: so you see Ben Rice, Paul Goldschmidt, Aaron Judge is

297
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: expected to be at three point fifty three. But walk

298
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: percentage also really good. You see Dominga's ranks pretty high there.

299
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: Trent Grisham has been very patient this year. Sprint not

300
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: so good. You see Domingez is the fastest guy on

301
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: the team. Oswald Piraz is a little bit behind him.

302
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: Bellinger and Volte good Rice surprisingly fast. Trent Grisham's pretty fast,

303
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: but other than that, we're pretty slow. Judge, Goldschmidt, reyis Vivas.

304
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: Does Rays do anything well? I mean, can somebody answer

305
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: me that question? Does Rays do anything at all? Well?

306
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: And then Dj he hasn't even sprinted yet. They just

307
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 2: basically said, well, he's just jogging. So that's where we're at.

308
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: And you can look at, you know, kind of where

309
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: guy's rank on the Mets as well. You see Sodo

310
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,239
Speaker 2: averaging ninety four point five with the exit velocity. His

311
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: hard hit percentage is great. So that's just a fun

312
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 2: way to look at the game anyway. Frank Cloud pointing

313
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: out that Bragman has a nine to fifty zero ps

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: for the Red Sox. Somebody that the Yankees were looking

315
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: at but decided against. We got Frank from California.

316
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 7: Hey, Derek, great show. Frank's from California. Here. I couldn't

317
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 7: imagine yesterday was even though it was a wash, it

318
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 7: was beautiful because the Yankees were defensively awesome. And you know,

319
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 7: that's a big difference. You could tell these people's heads

320
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 7: are in the games. Like God, we all root for

321
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 7: DJ I hope and DJ's heads in the game. Paul

322
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 7: Goldschmith's head is in the game hundred percent. Guys made

323
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 7: great decisions because they are paying attention one hundred percent.

324
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 7: We had some freaks in the past. We're not going

325
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 7: down the list, but we could start with you know, Verdugo,

326
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 7: maybe uh Labor.

327
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: Then we had even Sodoven. You know, we've had a

328
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 2: lot of bad bass runners over the year. I mean,

329
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: Clint Fraser was awful. I mean I remember Aaron Hicks

330
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: getting thrown out more than his share. Anthony Rizzo was

331
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: a dog shit based runner. It's good to see that

332
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 2: we have some actual smart bas runners on the team

333
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: this year. Demingez has been incredible. Not only is he fast,

334
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: but he makes typically good decisions.

335
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 8: Here's Marvin there is Marvin from Columbus, Ohio. Loved the show, brother,

336
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 8: wanted to ask for your thoughts on us training for Devers.

337
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 6: Man.

338
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 8: I've been hearing a couple were reading some articles about

339
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 8: them being interested in endeavors that might be rumors. But

340
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 8: if we could trade Paul Goldsman for Devers, like you know,

341
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 8: probably a couple more products, would you be done to

342
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 8: doing it? My only concern with that would be the drama,

343
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 8: you know, like and like if he like, if you

344
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 8: put him on VAH or something, he might not want

345
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 8: it whatever it is, or like his defense, so like

346
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 8: third base already been struggling to find somebody that can

347
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 8: be there and just actually defend at a high level.

348
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 8: So I don't know what your thoughts would be. I

349
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 8: still feel like, man, if we can do that, I'll

350
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 8: still be a that lineup and be so scary.

351
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 2: So I appreciate the call.

352
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 7: One.

353
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: He's a terrible defender at third base, But on the

354
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: other hand, he is an elite hitter. I don't think

355
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: that the Yankees want to take on another three hundred

356
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: million dollar contract. He is just twenty eight years old.

357
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: But like he's you know, like has been pointed out

358
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: he's a DH at this point in his career. What

359
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: I trade gold Schmidt for him, Well, that would solve

360
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 2: one issue is that it would allow Ben Rice to

361
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 2: play first base, but then you'd be too left handed.

362
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: You'd have lefties on both ends there. And Goldsman has

363
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: been so good and he's hitting about fifty points higher

364
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: than Devors for a lot less money, and he's only

365
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: under contract for one year. You know, I just don't

366
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: see a scenario where these two teams line up unless

367
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: they're giving him away. If they're giving him away, and

368
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 2: I wouldn't and that I wouldn't trade gold Schmidt for him.

369
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 2: But if they said, you know, we'll take Oswald Perraza

370
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: and I don't know a couple of bullshit prospects for Devors,

371
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: sign me up and stick him at third base and

372
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: just pray he doesn't kill you in a spot defensively

373
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 2: and say go hit. But I I can't envision that scenario.

374
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: He hits so well that somebody will want him, somebody

375
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: will make that deal, but I don't think it's gonna

376
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: be the Yankees.

377
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 6: Derek Ohio, Derek Derek and Ohio, Hey, listen, I'm so

378
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 6: glad to hear you talk about the Vivas Bond situation

379
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 6: earlier in the game, first and second, No, wow, Vivas Bond.

380
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 6: Everybody in the stadium was waiting for it didn't happen.

381
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 6: And yes, we would have had the third run because

382
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: the Rice's fly bottle left. So glad that you're bringing

383
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 6: that up. And just another Aaron Boone hair brain decision.

384
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 6: This is why I don't like him, and I would

385
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 6: I would assume thousands of other Yankee fans don't like him.

386
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's quite unpopular. And it is stuff like that,

387
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 2: you know, there was there's been so many opportunities this

388
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: season to pinch hit for guys like Escara or other

389
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: you know, to go to a better bat that's available

390
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 2: on the bench, or to bunt and move a runner,

391
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 2: or or play small ball, and for some reason, the

392
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: Yankees just don't do that. And you know, I don't

393
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 2: know if it's the binder. You know, the analytics, the

394
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: iPad now has kind of replaced the binder for Aaron Boone.

395
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: But I've never been a big Boone fan. I don't

396
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: think he's a I don't think he's a horrible manager.

397
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: I think that I think he gets too comfortable and

398
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: just letting. I think he's too much of a baseball

399
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 2: fan to be a manager, because he's in there watching

400
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: the game, you know, And I don't think he's actually,

401
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: you know, pulling the strings actively as a manager. He's

402
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: kind of just letting things unfold when we're sitting here

403
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: screaming at our TV, going like why is he not bunning?

404
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 2: Why is Dominguez not stealing? Like as a manager, you've

405
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: got to be actively engaged, and I feel like he's

406
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: always there, just kind of watching. And I feel like

407
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: the thing he's most eas is the picture batter struggle

408
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: the strike zone, and he, to his credit, he does

409
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: defend his guys there. But I feel like there's a

410
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: lot of regular baseball stuff that just gets missed. All right,

411
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. I will be back after the game tonight.

412
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: We have a nationally televised game on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.

413
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: Max Freed on the Mount. I wouldn't expect to see

414
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: Dominga's in there today against the left handed pitcher Peterson

415
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: for the Mets. We'll see how it shakes out, but

416
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to taking two out of three. But

417
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: even if we don't still. First two games have been

418
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: pretty fun and it's been good for the fan base.

419
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: But I think we will win game three, and I

420
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: think Max Free is going to show up and shove tonight,

421
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: so we will catch up on everything after the game.

422
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,080
