1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: Going to pull a kettle. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 2: Well, I think that expression by TK says it all. 3 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: The Yankees played downright awful baseball this weekend beginning Thursday, 4 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: really and tonight they managed to put together in the 5 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 2: ninth inning against eraldis Chapman, they take the lead and 6 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 2: then they find a way to blow it, give up 7 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: three runs in the bottom of the tenth, and they 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: have officially been swept. 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: Come on. 10 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: Joining me tonight to talk about it on Suicide Watch 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: apparently is our guy Terrence com. We call him TK. 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: How's it going man? 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 3: That was a smelly, ugly, disgusting, gross deformity of a game. 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: If you wanted to show somebody who's not into baseball, 15 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: who hasn't really watched baseball, you're trying to kind of 16 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 3: get trying to get them into it, and you wanted 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: to show them a game as to like, you know, 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: what could be cool about the game. This is like 19 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 3: the exact opposite of a game. You show them absolutely 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: anemic offense for like the first eight innings obviously, and 21 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: then in the ninth inning they pull a rabbit out 22 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 3: of a hat because the Red Sox are essentially giving 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 3: the game away. That was a disgusting performance by the 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 3: Red Sox, but hey, the Yankees will take it to 25 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 3: avoid getting swept. But no, the Yankees' biggest need, which 26 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 3: is their bullpen, comes back to bite them and the 27 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: stupid Manford Man ghost runner. I hate that rule. I 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: hate that rule twelfth inning or later. Jesus Christ, they 29 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: better fix that in the CBA. 30 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they're going to seek back for 31 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: this episode. Well, tonight we had Roger Clemens in the booth. 32 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: We had like four or five people in the booth 33 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: something like that. I don't like this trend to having 34 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: more people than the cast of the Expendables in the 35 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: boost at. Austin Wells made a really nice play in 36 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: the ninth inning. He also had a accidental check swing RBI, 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: but his average still looks like a blood alcohol content 38 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: level zero point one five to seven. But he did 39 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: reach ten RBIs his ops at four ninety nine but 40 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: zero for four in the game. David bednar I thought 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: threw the ball. Well, he's one of the guys who 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: actually manned up in this game. But other than that, 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 2: TK not a lot of positives to say about this 44 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: entire series, really, and the Yankees have fallen out of 45 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: first place. They're a game behind the race. 46 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I thought bed Noor threw the game well, 47 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 3: And I'm seeing a comment there, don't blame the Manford Man, 48 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 3: we get the same advantage. I totally disagree with that. 49 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: I think the Manford man is an enormous advantage to 50 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: the home team because of last licks, because of walkoff. 51 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: If you're the road team and you get the Manford 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: Man and you still got to go back out there 53 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: with a runner and scoring position, I think it's an 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: enormous advantage for the home team. And I'd be curious 55 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 3: to see what the record is across Baseball for what 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 3: the home team's record is as extra innings with the 57 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 3: man for man. I know that the Yankees have been 58 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: absolutely horrific at it on the road, especially like they 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: are one of the worst teams in the league when 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 3: it comes to the man for man, But that rule 61 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 3: pisses me off. I'm very fixated on that right now. 62 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 3: That's not why they lost the game, but I do 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 3: believe that it should be a twelve inning or later. 64 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: But hey, Wells did make a great defensive play there 65 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: to bare hand that and get the guy at first. 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 3: He can't hit a ball, can't hit a beach ball 67 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 3: with a tennis racket. I mean it's getting pathetic at 68 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: this point. And I mean, look, the Yankees have a 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: lot of injuries right now, Stanton Judge Freed, I can 70 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: go wax poetic about it, and they need help with 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 3: the deadline. But like Jesus Christ, can you can you? 72 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: You know, can you do the little things? You know? 73 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 3: You get swept? Four game set in Boston? What are 74 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: we doing? This is the last team, this is the 75 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: last place team in the division. Get it together right, 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: all right? 77 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: Well, tell us how you really feel. I mean the 78 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: nitty gritty tonight. I mean, offensively, neither team was impressive 79 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: for most of the game. Ahmed Rosario had two hits 80 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: for the Yankees. Cabal Aro had a knock. I thought 81 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: that Rodin's stuff was incredible, but again, too many walks 82 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: and too many pitches. This guy's his own worst enemy. 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: He wasn't helped by Oswaldo Cabrera's error. You know, Cabrera 84 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: had a nice bunt. He does a lot of little things. 85 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: He's got a following of people, a cult following that 86 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: really like him. But I mean he's nothing more than 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: a utility guy at this point, so I mean, he's 88 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: never really been that much, so let's not get too 89 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: excited about his return. I thought that the Yankees' energy 90 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: tonight was just a continuation of what we've seen since Thursday. 91 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: Up until about the ninth inning. Obviously, they just looked 92 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 2: like they had no interest in playing baseball. 93 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: No none. And I kind of was watching this game 94 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: and I thoughts myself, Derek, you let me know if 95 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: you feel the same way. What happened to the urgency 96 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: Yankees that we were talking about at the beginning of 97 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: the season. 98 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 4: Where got hurt, everyone got they well, I mean, right now, 99 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 4: I feel like the team is really feeling the absence 100 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 4: obviously of Aaron Judge, of John Carlos Stanton, of Max Freed. 101 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 2: I mean, there's only so many next man up. The 102 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 2: Yankees aren't don't have like a stacked bench. You know, 103 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: they never had a stack. But I mean, Goldie's done 104 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 2: a nice job. But other than that, I mean, you 105 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: got Rosario stepping up. I mean Cabira, I mean, these 106 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: are these are not all star players. I think they're 107 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: hanging in there. And you know, obviously they were in 108 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: first place until yesterday, but uh, I just feel like 109 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: this team needs to get healthy, uh and get going 110 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 2: right now. It's just difficult to watch. 111 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: No. Yeah, it's just obviously, like you said, guys are 112 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 3: starting to slump a bit. And look, that's there's ebbs 113 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: and flows to a baseball season. That's we know that. 114 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 3: But for me, uh, you know, Volpi's actually been hitting 115 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: pretty well the last couple of weeks, so that's like 116 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: a first. I just can't do it with him at 117 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: shortstop anymore. The arm is just not there. Cabairo is 118 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: a much better defensive shortstop. I think that defensively, at 119 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: least until Grisham gets back. You have to run Spencer 120 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: Jones out there in center field just every day, even 121 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 3: though his bat he strikes out a lot. I'd rather 122 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: have the defense out there. Goldschman's got to remain in 123 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: the lineup until Belliger can figure it out. 124 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: Can we pause for a second. I want to talk 125 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: about Spencer Jones. He looks completely overmatched to me at 126 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 2: the major league level. I mean, he's run into a 127 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 2: couple of home runs, but this guy strikes out at 128 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 2: a rate that to me is just very very difficult 129 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: to watch. He's got a forty three point two strikeout rate. 130 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 2: Right now, he's hitting two fifteen to ozho for three 131 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 2: again tonight, He's going to run into some home runs. 132 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: But I don't think this guy's ready for the major leagues. 133 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's a fair point. And I think 134 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 3: the biggest sort of sample size of that is his 135 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 3: first at bat of the game. Oh oh, ninety two 136 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 3: mile an hour meatball down the middle from Sonny Gray. 137 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're Spencer Jones, that's a ball you 138 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 3: gotta you know, you gotta shit on like right there, 139 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: like you got to hit a nuke right there. I 140 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: I mean, if Aaron Judges up at the plate, and 141 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: Aaron judges completely I'll use Ben Rice Moore as an example, 142 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: or Cody Bellinger, whoever, even Trent Grisham, like they're hunting 143 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: fastball first pitch of the at bat right there, and 144 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: that's in the seats, and Spencer Jones has that power 145 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: right there. But dude, go look at the at bat. 146 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 3: I'm not kidding. A ninety two mile an hour straightfor 147 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: seam right down the middle that he just takes and 148 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: it's just kind of like, what are you looking for? 149 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 3: What's the approach? Of the plate right there are you? 150 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 3: Are you taking pitches? Why are you taking pitches? Just 151 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: swing sometimes it's sometimes a swing path is obviously extremely uppercut, 152 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 3: and he's got a very massive hole on the entire 153 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 3: interior part of the plate. And Joji already had talked 154 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: about this that maybe or I think maybe it was 155 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 3: Paul O'Neal, But I think at this point, like if 156 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: you move off the plate, he's his arms are so long, 157 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: he's still gonna be able to get to the outside 158 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: part of the plate. So maybe that's an adjustment he makes. 159 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: But mechanically it's just a mess. I think he crouches 160 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: too low. He's got tools, he plays great defense, he 161 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: can run the bases, he's got great power. But until 162 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: he fixes mechanical stuff with his swing and his crouch, 163 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: it's it's not. 164 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: It's not a major league swing. He like he's won. 165 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: He swings way too hard. You just don't see guys 166 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 2: swing that hard every time at the major league level 167 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: because it's very with the velocity and the movement these 168 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: guys get, it's very difficult to make contact with that 169 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: kind of force on the swing. He has got to 170 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: shorten up. He has got to He's still strong enough 171 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 2: that if he just barrels it up, he's gonna run 172 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: into more hits. But I don't know. He's difficult to watch. 173 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and hit this sound effect here. Yanks 174 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: lose this one five to four, and they have lost 175 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: four straight games. Let's talk a little bit about Carlos 176 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 2: Rodan just now, Rodn, I think it continues to be 177 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: his own worst enemy. Four walks tonight, just a gazillion pitches. 178 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 2: I feel like he tries to strike strike everyone out, 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 2: like he wants to strike everyone. He wants to strike 180 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 2: out sixteen seventeen guys every time out, which you know, 181 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: I like the mentality, But your team has a shitty bullpen. 182 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 2: How about giving us seven innings and pitching to contact right, 183 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: how about going deeper into games and being a pitcher 184 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: for once instead of just a thrower. Tonight, four walks, 185 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: ninety six pitches in five innings. That to me is unacceptable, unacceptable. 186 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, totally, And I think, like you said, it continues 187 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: to be his own worst enemy. And it's it's very obvious, 188 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 3: like you know, what was that the fourth inning when 189 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 3: you just couldn't get the third out? Just couldn't put 190 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: the last guy away, walk a guy not executing, like 191 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: hanging a breaking ball, like it's just not finishing there. 192 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 3: And I remember a few years back Derek like we 193 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: were kind of questioning his conditioning, like he was like 194 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 3: a sweaty mess out there and he was starting to 195 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: run out of gas in the fourth or fifth inning, 196 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 3: which is kind of true. He is like laboring a bit, 197 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: like you know, I don't think Carlos Rodawn earlier in 198 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: his career when he was with the Giants, when he 199 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 3: was with the White Sox, he was a consistently like 200 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: a ninety six to ninety eight guy. He's not that 201 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: guy anymore. He's a ninety three to ninety five guy 202 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: right now. And sometimes I feel like he tries to 203 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 3: dial it up too much with the velocity, Like you 204 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: got to be more conservative of where you're picking to 205 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: dial it up or not. Garret Cole has talked about that, 206 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: where it's like maybe ninety eight, it's still in there, 207 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 3: but you're not going after every single at bat. Sometimes 208 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: you got to be smart and know that you're trying 209 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: to get a grounder in that situation or a pop up. 210 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: You're not trying to kay, everybody, you got to kind 211 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: of conserve your pitch count in that sense, and sometimes 212 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: with certain at bats, if it's the eighth guy in 213 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: the lineup, why is he seeing ninety six? He shouldn't. 214 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 2: Also, he's he wants to finish guys off with the 215 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: strike out. I feel like every time he gets two 216 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: strikes where he's trying to make the nasty, nasty pitch 217 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: and it ends up, you know, he tries to make 218 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 2: that pitcher's pitch out of the strike zone that gets 219 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: guys to chase. Whereas I think if he just ran 220 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: the two seamer in on lefties, or you know, just 221 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 2: maybe went with a high fastball against righty's a little 222 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: bit more, I feel like he could get that third 223 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: out and not have to constantly be in this life 224 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: or death battle trying to finish every bat with a strikeout. 225 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: That's what it looks like to me, is that he 226 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: wants to strike everybody out. Now, I can't tell you 227 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: what's in the man's head, but that's just the impression 228 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: I get. Anyway, tough night. Let's talk a little bit 229 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: about the Yankees now, because they have lost four in 230 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: a row. They are forty eight and thirty five, and 231 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things on this team that are 232 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 2: bothering me right now. Ben Rice looks like shit. Recently, 233 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: he's down to two seventy two. I'm gonna pull up 234 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: his numbers real quick, and we're just gonna take a 235 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: look at how he's doing over the last let's say 236 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: ten games or so, let's say last ten games hitting 237 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 2: one fifty four fifty four, last thirty games hitting two 238 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 2: fifty eight. So he's really slowed down. I'm wondering if 239 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: he's hurt or or what I mean, Yes, yesterday or 240 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 2: day before, he was jogging down the first baseline on 241 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 2: a ground ball on the right side, barely made it 242 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: ten steps and then bagged it, so that worries me. 243 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: A little bit. 244 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I heard Rizzo was talking about this 245 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 3: a little bit during the game. But I think with that, 246 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 3: I think the league has definitely adjusted a little bit 247 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: to him, and now it's his turn to adjust back. 248 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: And I do think that the absence of Aaron Judge 249 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: in the lineup, he's seeing pitches that he wasn't normally 250 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: seeing before. He's missing that protection in the lineup, So 251 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: I think that it's probably a combination of a lot 252 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: of things that he's got to make the adjustment. But 253 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 3: I was worried about this when Aaron Judge went down, 254 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 3: that it is going to affect Ben Rice because I 255 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 3: really like Rice in the two hole with Judge right 256 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 3: behind him, because obviously Rice at a twenty twenty four 257 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 3: Sodo Judge situation, like he's gonna see a lot of 258 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 3: pitches in his at bats, but he's not really getting 259 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 3: a lot to hit and not a lot to drive 260 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: right now. But mechanically or you know, a pa whatever 261 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: it may be, maybe he's off with timing a little bit. 262 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 3: He's just kind of have to make an adjustment to 263 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 3: lock it back in. I'm not worried too much. I 264 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: will say, like, you know, if he's still hitting in 265 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 3: the low two hundreds in the sample size, like maybe 266 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 3: around the All Star break or just after the All 267 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: Star break, I'll start to get a little concerned. But 268 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give him the grace to figure it out. 269 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. So here's here's a couple of indictments. So the 270 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 2: Yankees lead the league in home runs one hundred and 271 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 2: twenty one. They're way out in front in run differential 272 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: in the American League and their first in Major League 273 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: Baseball in ERA at three point three to two, and 274 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: yet they are not in first place. I mean, to me, 275 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: that's just that's an indictment on the manager. And this 276 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: number bothers me. Two thirty nine as a team, twenty 277 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: second in Major League Baseball. And I get that Judge 278 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: is hurt because he's a he's a batting champion last year. 279 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: So if you're counting on him being his normal self, 280 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: that would put the Yankees in a better spot. But Mike, 281 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: this is difficult to watch a team that just does 282 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: not get a lot of hits. How many hits did 283 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 2: they have tonight? Three and then three yesterday and three. 284 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: That's three straight games with three hits. That's just not 285 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 2: that's just not good enough. 286 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, pathetic anemik. If one would say. 287 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: Oh, double vision, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put you 288 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: on this're gonna get the double vision wrong camera there. 289 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 2: Uh yeah. So the thanks point of Tigers tomorrow, Casey 290 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: Mies against Ryan Weathers. How you feeling about this second 291 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 2: matchup with the Tigers? 292 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 3: Well, they didn't look super great, you know. The first one, 293 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: I mean it was fine, Uh, you know, Schooble hasn't 294 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 3: really been what he was before the injury, So I 295 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 3: don't even know if they're gonna see in this series 296 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: or not. But like, look like win the series. Can 297 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 3: I ask you to win the series? Can you take 298 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 3: two out of three from Detroit? Jesus Christ? Like they're 299 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 3: not they're not really lighting the world on fire. I 300 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: think their best offensive player this season is Kevin McGonagall, 301 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 3: who's probably gonna win the American League Rookie of the 302 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: Year but still. 303 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Dylan Dingler having a good year. Yeah, yeah, 304 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: I'm not feeling great about this. I think the Yankees 305 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: need a couple of days off. What they need is 306 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 2: a rainout before a day off. Can we get somebody 307 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 2: on Wednesday to It's just kind of like, if the 308 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: Yankees are still playing bad, just kind of set those 309 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 2: sprinklers off. Give him a couple of days off in 310 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: a row. We'll take a look at the division snapshot 311 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: here real quick. The Yankees lost in the Rays one, 312 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: which means the Rays lead the division by a game. 313 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: The Nationals beat the Orioles, and the Rangers beat the 314 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 2: Blue Jays. Blue Jays remain ten and a half back. 315 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: Red Sox talking a lot of shit tonight and deservedly so. 316 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: They won four straight, but still twelve and a half 317 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: back in the American League East.

Yeah, here's a call 348 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 2: about Ben Rice. 349 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: Hey, Derek Taper talked from the catskills not good for 350 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: the Yankees. Are they gonna get swept? Oh? My god? 351 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: And we got to talk about Ben Rice. I mean, 352 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to hear it. People don't 353 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: want to hear about Ben Rice. He is a star, 354 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: there's no question about him. But I've seen every at 355 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: that Ben Rice, going back when he was a rookie 356 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. He hit the three home runs against 357 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: Boston by the way in that one game. But I 358 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: saw him don't a terrible slump, and then he was 359 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: sent back down. I hope this doesn't happen, but he 360 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: isn't a fat slump, that's it. I hope ben Rice 361 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: and I think he will. But I'm a little concerned here, 362 00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: all right. 363 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: It is it is kind of a prolonged slump. I'm 364 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: gonna just go with he's getting pitched a little bit 365 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: more carefully with Judge out, and you know, this is 366 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: his first full season, not of you know, at major 367 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: league the major league level, being relied on as a 368 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: you know, a star, basically playing every single day, hitting 369 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 2: in the middle of the order. I think he's wayne 370 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,679 Speaker 2: on a little bit. I think he's a little bit tired, 371 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 2: and uh, you know, he's he's definitely had some uh 372 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: you know, balls fouled off his feet and the hand problem. 373 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: He's had some issues throughout the year. So he's probably 374 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: a little banged up, probably a guy who could use 375 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 2: a few days off, But right now he has to 376 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 2: be in there because the Yankees don't have a lot 377 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: of other options. Here's another call about the manager. 378 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 6: It's up Derek Case Anthony from Charlotte just calling. It's 379 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 6: the end of the seventh right now, we got six 380 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 6: outs to go to break up the no hitter. I'm 381 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 6: just calling here to say that this team looks so dead. 382 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 6: We need a manager who's gonna hold our players accountable 383 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 6: instead of toddle them. The fact that Aaron Boone said 384 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 6: yesterday about Austin Wells that he feels like he's moving 385 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 6: the needle is the biggest piece of shit I've heard 386 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 6: in the last I don't even know how long. 387 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: It's just utter bullshit. 388 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 6: We need to make a change with a manager, either 389 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 6: this upcoming offseason or as soon as possible. This is 390 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 6: just sickening to me. 391 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: I can't say anything before his contract is out. I 392 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 2: think he's, like you've said, like the pope, he's got 393 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: a job for life if he wants it for some reason. 394 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the thing about that too, Like that 395 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 3: comment did annoy me about Austin Wells because it's like 396 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 3: you think that the fans are stupid. I mean, come on, dude, 397 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 3: Like the guy's hitting like in the mid one hundreds, 398 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 3: you gotta stop with he's moving the needle. I don't 399 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 3: think there's anything wrong with saying like, yeah, he's been 400 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: struggling a bit offensively, like you know, hopefully he can 401 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 3: straighten it out. You're not undressing the guy in the media, 402 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 3: but like you know, you're not lying, You're being honest 403 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 3: about it. This is the major leagues. And there was 404 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: that comment in the winter where he was like, I 405 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: think he's capable of more. He said that in the 406 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 3: winter meetings, like he kind of called him out a 407 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 3: little bit. But to that point about we need a 408 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 3: manager that are going to hold players accountable. That doesn't 409 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 3: exist anymore. It just doesn't. And even if they were 410 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 3: to fire Aaron Boone, they're gonna hire another. They'd probably 411 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: hire Carlos Mendozo just got let go by the Mets. 412 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 3: Like they are going to hire a guy who the 413 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: players get along with, who is gonna put in the 414 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: analytics the way that they want him to be put in. 415 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: There is no more you know, getting in your face, 416 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: like screaming at you in the dugout. 417 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 2: This comment, this comment, I'm sorry, this comment got me great, 418 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 2: says Aston Wells. 419 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: Aston Martin like the car Wells. 420 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: Mendo of New York says al's trash and yy manager's trash. 421 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Hindsight on our record and slump after year in poor 422 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: player management, look We're not gonna find a lot of 423 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 2: boone fans here on this channel, either in the comments 424 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: or behind the microphones.
