1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: One to pull. It's all. 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 3: No Yankees Baseball today, travel day on the first Sunday 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 3: of the season, which I find off putting. I would 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 3: like nothing more than to kick back and watch a 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 3: game on the couch right now, but no game. So 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 3: I invited TK on to kind of talk about the 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 3: first game or first series of the year and kind 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 3: of preview the upcoming series with the Mariners. 10 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: TK, what's up, brother, You in a good mood. 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm in a pretty good mood. Three and oh 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 4: how about you know it's the opposite of what Joe 13 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 4: Girardi says. You know, it's not what you want. Well, 14 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 4: actually it is what you want. It's exactly what you want. 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 4: It's a good start to the season. 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, the last three years in a row now they've 17 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 3: swept the opening series. I would love for them to 18 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 3: at least take two out of three in Seattle and 19 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: go back five and one. I think that's a really, 20 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: really solid West Coast swing. I mean it's probably a 21 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: pipe dream, but six and oh isn't out of the 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: realm of possibility. If you get a good start from Weathers, 23 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: you got freed and camp Slot are backing him. 24 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: Up. 25 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 3: So I mean, when you have really good pitching every 26 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: single day of the week, it gives you a chance 27 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: to rack up wins and rack up win streaks. And 28 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 3: there's something I forgot to play the other day, TK 29 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: that I think is worthy of some attention. 30 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: Three game wins streak. Do you want to talk? 31 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 3: Do you want to talk a little bit about Cam Schlittler, 32 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: because he, to me, was the highlight of this series. 33 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, man, what can you say? I mean, coming 34 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 4: off the start, obviously against the Red Sox last season 35 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 4: in the wild card, in the big moment, he looks great. 36 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 4: In spring, it makes some adjustments, he looks better than 37 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 4: he did with that than he did last year. And 38 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 4: he came up and looked great. So it's like we 39 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: really and again I'm gonna give the caveat health. Health 40 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 4: is always gonna be the key, but it's not gonna 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 4: be fun unless we're gonna ignore that for a second. 42 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: So let's just assume health right now. 43 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, for some reason, it says he's on pace for 44 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty two and oh, that's actually not true. 45 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: He would actually be on pace for fifty four and whatever. 46 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: We had an unpaced thing but it's still working out 47 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 3: some of the math. Anyway, But before we get too 48 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 3: excited on Cam Schulzer, I just wanted to kind of 49 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: throw some stuff out there, right, we've seen some homegrown 50 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 3: arms before. You know, Severino came up and he looked 51 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 3: like he could be an ace and he was absolutely 52 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: a front of the rotation starter for a little while. 53 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: Phil Hughes was the top pitching prospect in baseball for 54 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: a while, but he never really became an undeniable number one. 55 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 3: He was kind of an average pitcher. He had a 56 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: couple of good years. He was great out of the 57 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 3: bullpen and nine. But other than that, I mean Tanaka, 58 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 3: you know, he was an international signing. I don't really 59 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: count him as homegrown. I can't think of the last 60 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 3: time that we've had a homegrown pitcher that I've been 61 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: this excited about. Andy Pettitt was really, really good, but 62 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 3: when he came up, he wasn't hyped as like a 63 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: big prospect, kind of like Cam Schlulller was. 64 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: He was just successful. 65 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: Schlitler actually feels like a power pitch, like he's a 66 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: big time power pitcher that to me feels like he 67 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: could be one of the best pitchers, not only on 68 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 3: the Yankees, but in the game. 69 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: Am I getting a little carried away? 70 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 4: Here? 71 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Is that? 72 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: Is he giving you that vibe right now? 73 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: I mean, dude, how could you not feel that way? Right? Like, 74 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: every time he's taken the mound so far, he's pissed 75 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 4: a really solid game, if not a great game, especially 76 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 4: even in the big moment. I think with guys Derek, 77 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 4: it's like, okay, so he got the Paul schemes of 78 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: the world, right that get drafted like number one overall 79 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: and they just like rock it through the minor leagues 80 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 4: and they're a phenomosit and it's like I can't miss 81 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: kind of thing, right. But Schlitler obviously when they drafted 82 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: him out of a smaller school than LSU, and he's 83 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: not throwing that hard in the minors, but that shows 84 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: me that he like really grinded it out, you know, 85 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 4: he really took to the pitching coaching well, the instruction well. 86 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 4: But the thing that impresses me the most Derek is 87 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 4: just like the velocity comes so easy for him. I think, 88 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: like the ball really just kind of explodes out of 89 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 4: his hand. And I remember, I forget who was maybeen 90 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 4: Ian Hap on like a podcast. They're talking about like 91 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 4: at that time the best pitchers in the game, and 92 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: that's when de Gram was at the peak of his powers. 93 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: And he's like, the thing about the Grom is the 94 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: ball literally explodes out of his hands, right, it explodes 95 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 4: out of out of his hand, and it's just like you, 96 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 4: it's by you before you even react. Same thing with 97 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: the breaking pitches. So I think that I've kind of 98 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: heard that which Schlittler already. The fact he throws like 99 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 4: three different fastballs, you know, sinker, fastball, cutter, so you're 100 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 4: not really picking it up on that at all. And 101 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 4: then the breaking pitch. But man, he looks really really good. 102 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm I think I'm just as excited as 103 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 4: you are. And like I said, man in the in 104 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: the wintertime, I said, it would not shock me if 105 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 4: Cam Schlittler is the ace of the staff by the 106 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 4: end of the season. I think there's like a legitimate 107 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: chance of that. Obviously got Max Freed and Garrick Cole 108 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: and they're gonna be great betteran guys, but it could 109 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 4: almost be like a one A, one B, one C 110 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 4: type of situation. 111 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: Derek, I just fixed the what he's on pace for. 112 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: He's on pace for two hundred and seventy five innings pitch. 113 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 3: I don't think that's gonna happen either, But I'm loving 114 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: what we're seeing from him, not only the stuff, but 115 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: the confidence, Like he carries himself in a really confident way, 116 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: which I think is super important. You know, a guy 117 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: who throws is that hard but also has plus plus 118 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,359 Speaker 3: breaking stuff and plus command, I think is huge, And 119 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: he's only getting better. He's gonna continue to get better. 120 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: I think I just want him to stay healthy. 121 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Man. 122 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 3: I just I worry about these guys with their arm issues. 123 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: Let's move on to the series recap here and kind 124 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: of get your takeaways. So they won seven nothing in 125 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: Game one, three nothing in Game two, and three to 126 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: one in Game three. Judge Homer twice in the series. 127 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: Stanton went deep, Stanton swung a really hot bat in 128 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: the series. Bullpen got leaned on pretty hard in the 129 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: final game, but overall the Yankees held. The Giants had 130 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: just one run in three games. I don't think you 131 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: get asked for much more than that. What is sort 132 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 3: of your takeaway other than camp shutter from this series? 133 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously great first series, Aaron Judge two home runs, so, 134 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: I you know, people the first game obviously tough first game, 135 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 4: but two dingers. I'm not really worried about him at all. 136 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: I think Judge is going to be Judge, even if 137 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 4: he has like the first two weeks that are pretty brutal. 138 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: I think the thing that's the biggest, the biggest takeaway 139 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 4: for me is how well Stanton has looked at the plate. Honestly, 140 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: to start the season. Usually I think he starts out 141 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: a bit slow, or he's injured, or he kind of 142 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: looks lost at the plate. And we all know that 143 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 4: Whenon Stanton like Jekyll and Hyde like two extremes, right, like, 144 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 4: he's either a white hot best hitter on the planet 145 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 4: or he's absolutely awful and he looks lost at the plate. 146 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 4: So having a little bit more consistency from him health 147 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 4: wise and also just performing at the plate is gonna 148 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 4: be huge. The guy can't run. He's got one speed, 149 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 4: Stanton speed. We all know that. I thought Jazz looked 150 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 4: pretty good. Ben Rice too. My biggest takeaway Derek ben 151 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 4: Rice defensively, Oh yeah, I had a couple of really 152 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: nice scoops. He looks really, really good at first. He's 153 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 4: really taking the instruction well from gold Schmidt, kind of 154 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 4: tutoring him. So the only thing, and I talked about 155 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: this on my show as well, the only thing that 156 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 4: I was a little irritated about is gold Schmant getting 157 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: the start second game of the season, and I realized 158 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 4: it's because there was a lefty on the mound. But 159 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: to me, Derek has got to get the bats against 160 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 4: the lefties. Man, He's got to improve against lefties. That's 161 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 4: like I hear work on it. 162 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: Let let me push back on that though, because Robbie 163 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: Ray is not like a one size fits all lefty 164 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: right He's he's one of the best lefties against lefties 165 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: in the game. And if you got a good right 166 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: handed hitter that matches up better, I think that's a 167 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 3: situation where I probably would have done the same thing 168 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: most lefties, most run of the mill lefties, like you know, 169 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: Jp Sears is on the mound. I think we're going 170 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: to see Ben Rice in the game, right, But when 171 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: you got somebody who's dominating against lefties as Robbie Ray, 172 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: I think it was the smart move. You know, a 173 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: couple of other things that I want to just mention. 174 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: Camillo Douvall looked incredible. He looked really really. His sinker 175 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: was ninety eight. It was getting a ton of movement. 176 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: He was getting bad swings. He was confident. He looked 177 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: really good. 178 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: Tim Hill was doing Tim Hill things a bullpendus looked good. 179 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 4: He was throwing like ninety eight un hour like circle changes, 180 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 4: like the amount of that that was like that that 181 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 4: that movement on the sinker was insane. And to me, man, 182 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 4: he's gonna be the X factor in this bullpen because 183 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 4: if he's gonna pitch like that and he takes over 184 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: that eighth inning role heading into Bednarman, I mean, that's nasty. 185 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: That's a nasty back out of the bullpen, and then 186 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 4: in the seventh inning you can kind of rotate between 187 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 4: Cruise and Tim Hill. Looked good. He got the job done. 188 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 4: My Joe Schmoe, Ben Brent Hedrick, who actually pitched pretty 189 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: well as well. I think he's got good stuff. So 190 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: I mean, I think, like at the deadline, I'm sure 191 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: the Yankees will probably address the bullpen by adding like 192 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: an armor two. That's kind of standard every single year. 193 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 4: But I you know, if the starting pitching is gonna 194 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 4: be what we think it could be. And they're gonna 195 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 4: give you like five six innings every day. Then you 196 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: know we're having a conversation about you really just need 197 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 4: like two to three guys kind of getting it done 198 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 4: in the bullpen. 199 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, So how we feel? What about this UH Mariners series? 200 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: So Game one, Ryan Weathers Yankees' debut against Luis Castillo. 201 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: Castillo is give him the Yankees trouble in the past 202 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 3: last year eleven and eight three point five four ERA. 203 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: Weather's two and two three point nine nine. In his 204 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: final spring training game, Weather's touched one hundred and one 205 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 3: with the fastball. Seattle off to a one and two start, 206 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 3: hitting just one eighty eight as a team with a 207 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: three to zero four on base percentage. They do have 208 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: seven home runs, but I'll note a big goose egg 209 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 3: from cal Raley three point eight six ERA. They do 210 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 3: have good pitching, but only a plus one run differential 211 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 3: right now. And you see that Luke Rayley already has 212 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: three home runs, Dominic Canzone hit a couple on opening Day, 213 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: Brandon Donovan's been good for them, Cole Young went deep. 214 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 3: But how are you feeling about this series? How do 215 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: you feeling about the matchup tomorrow and who are you 216 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: watching closely? 217 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: So I guess unpack that however. 218 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: You will well obviously settle Seattle's got pitching, right, That's 219 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 4: that's what they have. I think that they have a 220 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 4: top three closer in the game. And Andres Munos, I 221 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: think he's got absolutely disgusting stuff. So if you see 222 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: him in the ninth inning, you most likely, like ninety. 223 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: Yankes beat him last year. 224 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 4: Yankees did beat him last year. But I do think, 225 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 4: like you know, ninety nine times out of one hundred, 226 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 4: you probably lost the game. But you know, Brian wuz 227 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 4: has actually got great stuff. George Kirby faced him in 228 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 4: high school. Actually he's got really good stuff. And I 229 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 4: know first hand that's standing in the box against him 230 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: in high school. But you know, they got great starting pitching. 231 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 4: Brendan Donovan I think is going to be a really 232 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: good pick up for them. I think he's a really 233 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 4: good player, He's versatile. But to me for them again, 234 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: X factor Kyle Rally. If Kyle Rally's gonna play like 235 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 4: he did in the WBC and to start this year, 236 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 4: they're not gonna be a very good team. Their offense 237 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 4: is not gonna be very good. I mean, they need 238 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 4: him to match this year. Their offense is really it's 239 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: kind of mid. It's okay, Seattle does scare him in 240 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 4: the playoffs just because of how good the pitching is, 241 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 4: but they're gonna need a guy to kind of pick 242 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 4: up some of the slack if Kyle Raley's not gonna 243 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: do it. 244 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: Man, Yeah, I do think that the pitching matchups in 245 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: this series are gonna be fun. You know, Logan Gilbert, 246 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: George Kirby two really good pitchers. Castillo obviously we talked about. 247 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: But I think the Yankees could win all of those 248 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: games if the pitching goes right, if you get a 249 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 3: couple of big hits. I'm excited that Aaron Judges has 250 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: started to heat up a couple of home runs after 251 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: that tough start. John Carl Stanton looks really good, Ben 252 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 3: Rice hitting the ball hard. Trent Grisham. So I'm feeling 253 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: like this could be a really fun series. I wish 254 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 3: it wasn't happening at nine forty pm Eastern time, because 255 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be basically exhausted not only watching the game 256 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 3: and then doing the show, but then the next day 257 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 3: at work. That's always fun. But yeah, it should be 258 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: a fun series. Who do you think is gonna win 259 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: two three games? 260 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: What do you think? 261 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 4: I think the Yankees take two games out of three, 262 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: and I think they go back to the Bronx five 263 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 4: and one. 264 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: I'll say they take games two and three. In game 265 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: one and they have trouble with Luis Castill. If they 266 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: win tomorrow, that's a that's a big w because I'll 267 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: take Max Freed against that lineup, and I'll definitely take 268 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: Cam Schlitler against that lineup. So all right, quick word 269 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 3: from our sponsor of this episode, Mint Mobile. I don't 270 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 3: know about you guys, but I like keeping my money 271 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: where I can see it. Unfortunately, traditional big wireless carriers 272 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: also like keeping my money too. After years of overpaying, 273 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: I finally got fed up with the one hundred dollars 274 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: plus monthly bills and those bogus service fees and all 275 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 3: that crap, those free streaming perks that actually hike up 276 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: your base price. That's why I've been looking into Mint Mobile. 277 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: Stop overpaying for wireless, just because that's how it's always been. 278 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: Mint exists purely to fix that by offering premium wireless 279 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: plans starting in just fifteen dollars a month.

So I haven't pulled the trigger yet, 283 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,959 Speaker 3: but my buddy finally did and he was tired of 284 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: getting hammered by bills too, and he said it's the 285 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 3: real deal. He said, the service quality is identical to 286 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 3: what he had before. He's not saving enough.

All right back to tk 299 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: tk I butchered that ad reading they're going to cancel 300 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: my contract anyway. So what has drawn your interest in 301 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 3: baseball over the last couple of days. So we had 302 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 3: Mirkami hit a couple of home runs. I might have 303 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 3: been wrong on him. He might actually be good. He's 304 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: he's dude, He's hitting bombs. And then Mike Trout's off 305 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: to a good start, you know, Brandon Laws off to 306 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: a good start for the Pirates. You had Kean's Gett 307 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 3: knocked out in the first inning by the Mets, but 308 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 3: part of that was O'Neil Cruz can't catch a fly 309 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 3: ball to save his life. Cal Roley, we talked about, 310 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: oh for the gate. So what has been your big 311 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: takeaway Dylan see struck out twelve. 312 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Dylan Ce's is a big takeaway. I 313 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 4: think he's going to be really, really good for the 314 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 4: Blue Jays, and obviously that is going to be the 315 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 4: team that's going to be lingering in the Yankees' division. 316 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 4: I think that they're going to be I mean, I 317 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: think the Red Sox are gonna be really good too. 318 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: But I saw that Sunny Gray kind of poop pooed 319 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 4: his start with the with Boston so there was like 320 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 4: one play in particular. I think that at like Home played, 321 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 4: he like bobbled the ball and like Yankee fans are 322 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 4: killing him obviously, But yeah, yeah, I think that Toronto 323 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 4: the Dylan Ce's having that star for them twelve strikeouts. 324 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: I think he's a really good pitcher. He's got great stuff, 325 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 4: great movement on his pitches. Sometimes he gets in troubled 326 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: walks a little bit, but also like the Mets, you know, 327 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 4: skeins getting bounced that that. I don't attribute that to 328 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 4: some of it being O'Neill cruise. I attribute it to 329 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 4: all of it being O'Neill cruise. Absolutely off. The fact 330 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: that they charge the runs to Paul's skins I think 331 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: is just abysmal. Those should have been errors. If I 332 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 4: were the Pirates, I'd move him out a center field 333 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 4: and put him one of the corner outfield spots immediately, 334 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 4: because he's got a great arm. And then the other thing, 335 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 4: Derek that I saw is that Nico Horner signed a 336 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 4: six year extension with the Cubs. Apparently I don't know 337 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 4: the details on the contract, but that was reported and 338 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 4: I had said on my show as well that tat 339 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 4: to me kind of changes the calculus with the Yankees 340 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 4: keeping Jazz chishm because they're both going to be free 341 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 4: or they were both gonna be free agents, and I 342 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 4: found the Yankees. It's not that I don't love Jazz. 343 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: I love Jazz. I think he's a great player. But 344 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 4: I think Nico kind of brings what the Yankees really 345 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: need to the table, which is a right handed contact 346 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 4: bat who's great in defense. 347 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we got a good question here from go Yankees. 348 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: He says we need a power lefty in the pen. 349 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: How would you guys feel about moving Weathers to the 350 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: bullpen once we start to get Cole and ro Don back. 351 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: I think it's definitely a possibility. Just because he hasn't 352 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: thrown that many innings, I think that they will probably 353 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: consider that. It also depends on how he's doing. But 354 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 3: one way or another, I don't think he's throwing two 355 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: hundred innings. I don't think he's thro one hundred eighty innings. 356 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 3: He's not gotten close to that. They're gonna want to 357 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 3: keep him healthy long term, and I think to do that, 358 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 3: you have to kind of limit his innings this year. 359 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 3: So if he throws eighty innings this year, maybe he 360 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: throws sixty of him as a starter and then twenty 361 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: of them as a reliever. 362 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: Do you feel that way? Maybe? 363 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm okay with that. But just because 364 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 4: he's had such a complicated injury history, I worry about 365 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 4: that a little bit, just like in terms of pitchers, 366 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 4: of creatures, of habits, man, like, either you get stretched 367 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 4: out as a starter or you're in the bullpen, your 368 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 4: routine's a little bit different. So I worry about having 369 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 4: like a shoulder problem or an elbowl problem or something, 370 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 4: or a lap problem anything with him moving over to 371 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 4: the bullpen and just kind of being in that role. 372 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 4: But I think that it's more likely to see Ryan 373 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 4: Weathers in that role over like Louise Heal, for example, 374 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 4: in the kind of long relief bullpen slot. So I 375 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 4: think he'd be great out of the bullpen. It's just 376 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 4: that the injury history with him gives me a little pause. 377 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 378 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 3: Let's take a few voicemails here. This first one is 379 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: from Mac Hi Derek. 380 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: It's Mac from Pennsylvania. Good games that I could win. 381 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: I just wanted to comment on Cavaliero's I don't think 382 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: he's the answer at shortstop, so I'm sitting here hoping 383 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: that you know, what we see come back to. 384 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 5: The major leagues in Volpi is a you know, the 385 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 5: slap pitter that we know is going to go to 386 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 5: the gaps and be that leadoff hitter that we that 387 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 5: we desperately need. I think we've seen that version of him, 388 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 5: and I hope that's what comes back from from Triple 389 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 5: A after the injury rehab is over and replaces replaces Cavalira. 390 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 5: I just don't think he's the shortstop we are looking for. 391 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 3: I will say this tk those turns at second base, 392 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 3: I don't think Volpi makes maybe any of those plays 393 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: because Caballero had to really put his all into the throw, 394 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 3: and we know he's got a much stronger arm than Volpi. 395 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 3: I remember watching that in real time and thinking, man, 396 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: Vope does make that. 397 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 2: Play, dude. 398 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 4: I was literally watching the game, yes, and I was 399 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 4: like texting back and forth with my dad about like, 400 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: Volpi doesn't make that play, and if Devin Williams is pitching, 401 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 4: they probably lose that game because Volpi doesn't make the play, 402 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 4: and there's like, you know, then he doesn't make the play, 403 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 4: they tie the game, and then there's like a bloop 404 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 4: single to short and Volpi misses it and they lose. 405 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 4: Like can't you not see that happening last on last 406 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 4: year's team. I really think that Ben Dartin gonna make 407 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: all the difference in the world. I mean, if you 408 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 4: think about it, that's like seven games that Williams blue, 409 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 4: they would have one hundred and one wins, they would 410 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 4: have won the division, they would have the best record 411 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: in the AL. But Volpi, dude, especially Look if Cabaliro, 412 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: but let's say by mid May is hitting two fifty 413 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 4: with like five or six home runs, and he's got 414 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 4: some sole and bags, and he's playing good defense, how 415 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 4: do you not keep running him out there? He brings 416 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 4: an irritating element that I've talked about before on the 417 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: bass pass. He plays hard. You know, he plays better 418 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 4: defense than Bulpi did last year. I know Vulpei won 419 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 4: a Gold Glove his rookie year, but he is not 420 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: that defender right now. And maybe that was to do 421 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 4: with the shoulder injury. Who the hell knows, But at 422 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 4: the plate, I have no confidence in Boltpy. I'm sorry. 423 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 4: I'm sure he's a great guy. I've met him. He 424 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: is a great guy. He's a nice dude, but it's 425 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: just like, you know, it's not cutting it, it's not happening. 426 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 4: I would I would say, dude, with Lombard down there, 427 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 4: Dax Kilby kind of rising through the ranks, I'm just 428 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: kind of like, is there really a role for him 429 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 4: on this team? The only role I could see him in, 430 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 4: Derek is being a bench bat, being like a shortstop, 431 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 4: second base, kind of depth bench bat. That is the 432 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 4: role that he has right now. 433 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I unfortunately agree with you. I would rather have 434 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 2: Cabaliro out there. Uh. 435 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 3: And I mean maybe if Jazz Leaves is a free agent, 436 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 3: you give Volpi a shot to win the second base 437 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 3: job next year, But by then I think Lombard will 438 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 3: be in the major leagues. I think Lombard will be 439 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 3: in the big leagues next year. This year he might 440 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 3: not get there. I think this year Triple A is 441 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 3: much more likely. Like, if he plays well at Double A, 442 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 3: good shot to get to Triple A mid season, and 443 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 3: then you want to give him a little bit more 444 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: time at Triple A than Volpi had, just so he 445 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 3: can get used to kind of the some of the 446 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: better pitching, the more precise breaking pitches, you know, some 447 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 3: of the fuller stadiums, things like that, and then you 448 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,120 Speaker 3: give him a shot to win the shortstop job next year, 449 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: and then the loser between him and volpe maybe goes 450 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 3: to second base, And honestly, that would probably be Vulpey. 451 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: And I think he would be better at second base, 452 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: you know. I just think it's a better fit. 453 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 4: For him physically. He's built like a second baseman, like 454 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 4: all right, telling you like he is totally built. Even 455 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 4: when he came up, I felt that way. Like the arm, 456 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 4: the arm for me is not there for me. If 457 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,919 Speaker 4: you've ever stood on a sixty ninety major league sized field, 458 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 4: the throw from shortstop to first is not close. It's 459 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 4: a far throw, especially like deep in the hole there. 460 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we got another call here about the bullpen. 461 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 4: Hey, Derek, and so far really like the way the 462 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 4: bullpen's looking. 463 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 5: What do you think is Boon gonna burn out the 464 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 5: bullpen again? 465 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: Because I think that's one of the. 466 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 5: Big contributors to the boone June twin Woon just wanted 467 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 5: to get your opinion. 468 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: On that club. 469 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: It does seem like the bullpen is a problem by 470 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 3: Midsummer every year. But I think the Yankees might get 471 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 3: more length out of their starters early on, because one, 472 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 3: you got Sler, he's a horse. I think he you know, 473 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: you take the training wheels off. At his pitch count, 474 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: I think he goes, you know, six plus. Last time 475 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 3: Free pitched into the seventh on opening Day. I mean, 476 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: Warren gave you kind of a short start, but it 477 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 3: was again a victim of pitch count. 478 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 2: He was pitching. 479 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 3: Okay, you're probably gonna see the same thing on Monday night, 480 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,159 Speaker 3: but the Yankees do have four days off in the 481 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 3: first thirteen days of the season, and then at some 482 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 3: point you're getting back a fresh rowdn and then a 483 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,479 Speaker 3: fresh Garrett Cole, and Cole we know can eat innings 484 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 3: because he's efficient. I don't think right out of the 485 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 3: gate he's gonna be throwing seven eight innings, but I 486 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: think he'll give you six regularly, which the Yankees weren't 487 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 3: getting a lot early last year. So I honestly am 488 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 3: not that worried about using the bullpen win appropriate right now. 489 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: I want to go for the kill every single game. 490 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 3: I want to win as many games as possible that way. 491 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: When you do inevitably have that midsommer slump, which seems 492 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 3: like it's a yearly tradition at this point, as much 493 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 3: as the pinstripes are tradition, you could survive it a 494 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 3: bit better. 495 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 496 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 4: I actually just saw a quote from Judge talking about 497 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 4: the difference between this club and last year's club. Is 498 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 4: that to closing out series like going for the kill, 499 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 4: so to speak, you know, going. 500 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: For that sweep. 501 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 4: So it's looks like they have a lot more of 502 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 4: that like killer instinct of like, ah, we won the 503 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: series two to three, like yay, Like no, no, no, no, 504 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 4: you're going for the kill. You're going for the sweep, right. 505 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 4: But I think also with the bullpen, I think it's 506 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,120 Speaker 4: just it's early in the season. They're being ultra careful 507 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 4: with how many pitches their starters are throwing that you know, 508 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 4: they want to make sure that they're going to be 509 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: healthy all year long, and that's understandable. But I think 510 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 4: to your point, Derek, like the fact that they have 511 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 4: the depth that they do in the starting rotation this 512 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 4: year compared to last year, and you don't even have 513 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 4: Legron Hay up. You don't even have Alma Rodriguez up yet, 514 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 4: who are probably gonna get some starts in the major 515 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 4: leagues this year. I think they're gonna be just fine. Man. 516 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 4: And I can you know they're gonna add a couple 517 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 4: of bullpen arms at the deadline. I'm sure the guy Derek, 518 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 4: and this is way too early to talk about this, 519 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 4: but I'm so excited about this season. I want Lucas 520 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 4: Ersig from the Kansas City Royal on the Yankees. That 521 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 4: is the guy that I would want to come to 522 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: the Yankees out of the bullpen. The guy throws like 523 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 4: one hundred and one great seventheenth inning guy, That's who 524 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 4: i'd want. 525 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna pull up his stats real quick, Lucas 526 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 3: Ersig of. 527 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 4: The Tanna City Royals. But yeah, no, that guy's got 528 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: great stuff, man, great great stuff. It's like this is 529 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 4: like jokes, but like on MLB the show franchise, He's 530 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 4: like the first bullpen ar I'm all always trade for. 531 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 4: But dude, no, this guy, this guy, I would love 532 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: to have him. 533 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: So let's see what he did last year with KC. 534 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 3: Last year with KC sixty one innings, he had forty 535 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: eight strikeouts, two point six four ERA eight and four 536 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 3: record year before that with the Athletics two and six, 537 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: three point three six era seventy two strikeouts and sixty one, 538 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 3: so it was actually his strikeout numbers went down one 539 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 3: year to the next, and they've dropped even more so 540 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 3: since his first year, where he had sixty eight strikeouts 541 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 3: and fifty five innings. This year so far, two innings, 542 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: one strikeout. I worry about guys who have declining strikeout rates. 543 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 3: Even though he's got a good fastball. It just tells 544 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 3: me that maybe the league is catching up to that 545 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 3: fastball a little bit. But hey, we'll see, we'll see, 546 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 3: we'll see. I'm sure the Yankees will be active. Sure, 547 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll pick up somebody. But we just had 548 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 3: a comment. You know, if we get Cole and Rodond back, 549 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 3: that allows us to move Warren and Weather's to the 550 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 3: bullpen where I mean it's variety and a lefty that 551 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 3: could supplement that bullpen. I think as good as you know, 552 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 3: guys like Hedrick and bird are, I think eventually the 553 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: league might figure those guys out. You might want to 554 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 3: replace him with some more certified arms. But all right, 555 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: t K, let's hope the Yankees can keep the winning 556 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 3: going here as we head out west, are you. 557 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: Gonna catch any of these? 558 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 4: Uh? 559 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: You know you're here far from Seattle. 560 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Seattle is like a flight. It's like a sixteen 561 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 4: to seventeen hour drive from LA. But I did think 562 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 4: about it because the tickets were not that expensive to 563 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 4: go see them play. But I couldn't really make it happen. 564 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, flights of kind of skyrocketed in the 565 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 4: last couple of weeks. But I if you've never been, 566 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 4: I have been to team well, not for a Yankee game, 567 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: but just for a Mariners game. I think they were 568 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 4: playing the Royals there if I remember correctly. But it 569 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 4: is a awesome ballpark. I think I've been to about 570 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 4: of the third now of the entire league, and I'd 571 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 4: say it's like top five for me for sure. 572 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 3: Really, let me give you my top five parks. Seattle's 573 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 3: definitely one of them. I really like Lone Depot Park, 574 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: the Marlins Ballpark, especially since they repainted their reconfigured the colors, 575 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: like since they got rid of that stupid structure, and 576 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 3: thank you to Derek Jeter for that. He sees things 577 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 3: like ugly ass structure, they got rid of it. I 578 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 3: think that stadium is beautiful. I really like Pittsburgh. I 579 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: want to go see a game at Pittsburgh. I just 580 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 3: love how like how it's right there on the river. 581 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: Let me think what else? 582 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 2: You know? 583 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 3: As much as I despise the Blue Jays, I like 584 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 3: how they've reconfigured the interior of their stadium. I think 585 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 3: it looks a lot sharper and it's like loud. So 586 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 3: maybe I would love to catch a Yankees Blue Jays 587 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 3: game there at some point. That would be fun. 588 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 4: But all right, for mine, I'll say, peck coo. 589 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, Peco is good. 590 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: I hit a ball on top of the Western Metal 591 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: Supply Company with tattoos the other day in the show. 592 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 2: All right, big accomplishment there, you know? 593 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: Nice? 594 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 2: All right? 595 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 3: So, TK, you got a Monday Morning video you're gonna 596 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: put out tomorrow in case you haven't seen it yet. 597 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 3: TK has his own show now, his own channel, Pinstripe 598 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 3: Talk with TK.

I'm thinking about doing some like over 609 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 4: unders for that week based off of matchups who were playing, 610 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 4: and then probably Derek and I have discussed about coming 611 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 4: onto his show the last segment of the Friday Night 612 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,239 Speaker 4: show and then doing a Friday Night Live And there 613 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 4: may be some like you know, YouTube shorts kind of 614 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 4: real sort of situations sporadically throughout the week, but that 615 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 4: I think is going to be sort of the consistent 616 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 4: kind of content. And then the last thing I'll say, 617 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 4: and people have asked for this in the comments, if 618 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: I go to some games this year, I'll do like 619 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 4: a vlog kind of thing and I'll put that up 620 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 4: so you guys get a feel of like what other 621 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 4: ballparks look like, maybe Dodger Stadium whatever.
