1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,840 Speaker 1: All right. 2 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,640 Speaker 2: It is Sunday, September twenty first, and the Yankees were 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 2: taking on the Orioles in the final game of a 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,479 Speaker 2: four game set and perhaps the final time they'll put 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: on road grays all year. We got Terrence Cam here 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: to talk about it. We had Cam Schludler on the mound. 7 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: Picture's dual action. Might recap your reactions coming up next. 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 2: This is Pins Drive Territory whim to talk at. 9 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 3: Cool. 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: How's it going? Everybody? Welcome back, Welcome back TK. Now 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: I have to go full screen for a second because 12 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 2: we get a lot of complaints that when I'm have 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: a guest on and the Yankees win, that I don't 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: wear the victory hat. But I just want you guys 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: to see. Ops, that's the wrong, wrong thing. Oh, here 16 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: we go, it's on the pumpkin here. We got the 17 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 2: Jack o' lantern wearing the victory hat today. So we 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: got a quick glance at Wan Sota because we were 19 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: talking about won soda stats how he had more home 20 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: runs with the Mets than he actually did with the Yankees, 21 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: which we found surprising. But we're here to talk about 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 2: the Yankees. Obviously, big game. If the Yankees had lost 23 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 2: that game. I mean, the division is completely out of play, 24 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: but the Jas won today and the Yankees were able 25 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: to keep pace, and so now with just a two 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: game deficit, the Yankees head home. They have a day 27 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: off tomorrow, and then they got three against the White 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: Sox and three against Baltimore. If the Yankees go six 29 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: and zero, I think they might actually do it because 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 2: the Jays have not been playing great. They almost blew 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,479 Speaker 2: that game to the Royals today. What do you think 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: do we have a shot? Did we do? We say 33 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: rip division too early? 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: A very much outside shot, like you need, you need help, 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: and anytime you need help, it's it's obviously unlikely, but 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: crazier things have happened. You got to win out obviously, 37 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: and you need the Red Sox to beat up on 38 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 3: the J's and that's whether or not they can or 39 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 3: can do it. I mean, the Red Sox are still 40 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: playing for something, right, they're playing for a wild card spot, 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: so maybe, but who knows. It's it's funny like Toronto, 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: the Yankees and the Red Sox, it's all like they're 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: all like within four and. 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: A half five games of each other. So it's nuts. 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: This year we got a comment here from Apex Calibra, 46 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: who says no more platooning Rice. Agree or disagree, I mean, 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: you do still see you Austin Wells have games like 48 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 2: Ben Rice has. This is the second four hit game 49 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: of the year, obviously a humongous grand slam late in 50 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 2: the game for Ben Rice. I mean, I think you 51 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: go with Ben Rice in the postseason pretty much every 52 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: single time, right, I mean, unless it's a tough riding 53 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: and then you know, you go with Paul gold or sorry, 54 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: you go with Rice at first and Austin Wells behind 55 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 2: the dish, you probably sit Paul gold Schmidt. But I 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: don't know, man, I feel like, even off a tough, 57 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: tough writing, you could go with Dominguez and left and 58 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: Grishaman center and Bellinger at first, sit gold Schmidt, have 59 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: Rice play, and then you lose Wells. But there's a 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: lot of different ways that this could go TK. 61 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of different ways that they could handle it, 62 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: for sure, But I think this is gonna be This 63 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: is just like a this season problem. I kind of 64 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: see Ben Rice as being probably the everyday first baseman 65 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: next season. Goldschmid's contract is up, and that's why I 66 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: feel like We've discussed this before, but who are the 67 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: Yankees like more likely to move on from either Volpi 68 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: or Wells. I think the answer is Vulty, just because 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 3: they'll probably move Rice over to first and Wells will 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: be back at the everyday catcher position. 71 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: Right. So, yeah, and you got Caabaio who who had 72 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: a good game. You know, made things happen. 73 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: That bunt what was that in the seventh inning, and 74 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 3: then they overthrow first, he takes second, you know, just 75 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 3: kind of like manufacturing. 76 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: Great catch guys in there. He had a great catch 77 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: that he had a great catch there in the tenth inning, 78 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: two on the pop up. I mean, the game was 79 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: decided at that point, but that was a big out 80 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: because Dovall had some trouble. But let's go ahead and 81 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: recap the game. Let's get you the tea, the uh 82 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: key takeaways. I almost said the t K t K takeaways? 83 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: Uh name that? Yeah, we should anyway, So, you know, 84 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: I was kind of worried about today because Bradish is 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: a really good pitcher and the Yankees offense didn't do 86 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: much against him. This was a pitcher's duel. For the 87 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: first several innings, Yankees only had one hit through the 88 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 2: first five and two thirds innings and it was a 89 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 2: Ben Rice single. Rice was the story today. He had 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: four hits. Ryan McMahon made a really nice play at 91 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 2: third base, showed off a great arm as usual. But 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: the dude's offense, like his has just been awful. Dude, 93 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 2: like I don't even I don't even know if you 94 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 2: can bring him back, even though he's under contract. He's 95 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: just been awful offensively. Man, he uh oh for one 96 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: today he didn't have a walk, but hitting just two 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: fourteen on the season now with a six ninety ops 98 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: are you are you disappointed in what we've gotten from McMahon. 99 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: I mean, at least he's catching. 100 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 3: The ball, right, I'm not disappointed because he made a 101 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 3: great play in the field today, Like he's played a 102 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 3: really good third and that's something that they really needed. Offensively, 103 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 3: what I like to see more, Yeah, definitely, I'd like 104 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: to see more. But he's been really good in the 105 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: field and I will take that just because the Yankees 106 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: have other bats and it's not like you're really relying 107 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: on him to mash but like, look, he's under contract 108 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: and next he can play first base as well as 109 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 3: like an option, But like next season. 110 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: If he hits me like two two thirty. 111 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: If he hits two thirty with twenty home runs in 112 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: great third base defense, I'll take that all day. 113 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Action VJ says this was a great 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 2: team win. Whole bench was used, and Jender G says, 115 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 2: let's go bombers two more bombs today. So Judge got 116 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: hit by a pitch in the sixth inning, him just 117 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: below the elbow. He's gonna be fine, but that scared 118 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: the hell out of me anytime Judge gets hit by 119 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: a pitch. Ben Rice also got the second hit of 120 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: the game, opposite field single to score Trent Grisham, who 121 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: had just almost gotten doubled off of second base to 122 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 2: play before. Baseball's a game of inches. If that doesn't happen, 123 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: probably ends one nothing. Orioles right, I mean Rice, I 124 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: mean Rice had kind of slowed down, but him heating 125 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: up is like a huge X factor for me in 126 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 2: the playoffs. If he's hitting, he makes a big difference. Obviously, 127 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: you want Judge hitting, you want Stanton hitting, but you 128 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: need like one or two other threats from the left 129 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: side right A Ben Rice, a Trent Grisham, a Cody Bellinger, 130 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: give me any two of those guys hitting in conjunction 131 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 2: with Judge and Stanton, and the Yankees might actually do 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,679 Speaker 2: some real damage in the postseason. Bullpen's gonna be an issue, 133 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 2: but it seems like they're kind of, you know, rounding 134 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: into form here over the last few days. Obviously, the 135 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: big swing of the day was Ben Rice with a 136 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 2: grand slam in the tenth inning. That a grand trash. 137 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: It's a grand slash. Yank has put up six runs 138 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: in the tenth inning. We got a couple of other takeaways, 139 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: you know, I thought Domingo has had some nice moments 140 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: to He hit one really well from the left side 141 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: that got run down. He also beat out a infield 142 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: little ground ball. Devin Williams threw the hell out of 143 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 2: the baseball today. He was fantastic. Would it be crazy 144 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: if he pitches great in the playoffs? And is like, 145 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: what if he's the guy? What if he what if 146 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: he's him in the playoffs? Would you bring him back? 147 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: The answer a question? Good? No stop anyway, Happy birthday, 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 2: Happy birthday to Devin Williams. I almost gave him the 149 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: belt if Rice hadn't hit the grand slam. If Ice 150 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: did hit a base hit or something. Devin Williams was 151 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: getting the belt, I promise you, But the Yankees win 152 00:07:41,880 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: this one. David Bednar threw the ball well today, Dovall 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: was you know, Dovall, he was good stuff. But scares 154 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: the hell out of you out there. Yeh. And the 155 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: Yankees pick up a must win game. So that's good. 156 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: Eighty seven wins now on the season. And those of 157 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 2: you who remember the two thousand season will know that 158 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: the Yankees won the World Series with eighty seven wins 159 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: that year. So you know, this team clearly has had 160 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: its problems, but they're capable of going deep in the 161 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: playoffs if they get everybody going the way they should go. 162 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm saying you get Bellinger, Grisham, Rice, 163 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 2: give me two of those guys swinging the bat well, 164 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: and give me Judge and Stanton, or even Judge or Stanton. 165 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: But give me both of those guys hitting at the 166 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: same time for the first time ever, and give me 167 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: two lefties hitting the ball really well. And the offense 168 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: is gonna be trouble because they're gonna draw walks. Right, 169 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: this team gets on base, the question is like, are 170 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 2: they gonna hit the home runs? Right? That they're not 171 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 2: gonna lace a bunch of singles together. Give me some 172 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: guys that are hitting long ball and guys drawing the walks, 173 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: and maybe this team does some damage. Belt today, TK, 174 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: you want to do the. 175 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: Honors, mister Ben Arross nice. 176 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 2: And he now is moving up the belt rankings, and 177 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: he has tied Aaron Judge with five and a half 178 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: and they both split. They I believe the only time 179 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: I split a belt this year was those two guys, 180 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: so it worked out evenly. So I might retroactively just 181 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: give them both a full belt and just make a 182 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: gigantic tie at six just because nothing matters the points. 183 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 2: This whole system doesn't matter. It's all it's all for fun. 184 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: But great job by Ben Rise today. One thing we 185 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: didn't talk about is Cam Schlittler, who threw the ball 186 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: really well today. Didn't get any help from his offense. 187 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: He pitched well enough to get a win five and 188 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: the third innings, three hits, one run, one walk, six strikeouts, 189 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: eighty nine pitches fifty six strikes. He had nine swings 190 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 2: and misses. I thought that the uh, the fastball is 191 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: obviously always great, but the breaking ball, the weapons that 192 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: he's been using have been much improved, So nice performance 193 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: by him. 194 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 4: T K. 195 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 2: How are you ranking your playoff rotation? I mean, do 196 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 2: you go with a rookie Cam Schulzler in Game three 197 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 2: and a must win against the Boston Red Sox, or 198 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: do you go with somebody who's got more experience like 199 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: Luise Heel or you know, even Will Warren has more 200 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: experience that has never pitched in the postseason, but he's 201 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: had a ton of trouble with the Red Sox. Like, 202 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 2: how would you go? This is a this is a 203 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: difficult problem. I mean, maybe you even go with like 204 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: Max Freedo in Game one and then like Schlitler in 205 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: Game two, and then keep Rodin in there for like 206 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 2: a must win Game three where you possibly have the 207 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: advantage and that way, if you win in two games, 208 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: you have an ace ready to go Game one in 209 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 2: the division series. What are your thoughts? 210 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's probably the way I'd go. 211 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: I'd rather have, like, I'd rather have a Carlos Rodan 212 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: pitching a must win situation, I think, just because he's 213 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: got the notches on the belt, if you will. But 214 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: it to me, like in terms of the three three 215 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 3: man rotation for the playoffs, it's gonna come down to 216 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 3: Schlitler and Heel. I probably give the nod to Louise 217 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: Heel if obviously if he's healthy. But it's funny, right 218 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: because Louise Heel, like his stuff does play really well 219 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: in the bullpen in the playoffs, and I think Kim 220 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: Schlitzler also his stuff plays well in the bullpen. So 221 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 3: bottom line, though, I think both of those guys will 222 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: pitch postseason innings. I just don't know if it's gonna 223 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 3: be out of the bullpen or if they're gonna be 224 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 3: starting games. But I think you give the nod to 225 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 3: Louis Heel as the third guy, and like you said, 226 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: you would start him at Game two and have Rodin 227 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 3: maybe pitch a Game three just so it lines up 228 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: better for the next series. But that's probably the way 229 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: that I lean towards it, honestly. 230 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I misspoke earlier. It's actually eighty eight wins 231 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: for the Yankees. I was looking at the standings, which 232 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: usually update right after the game on Baseball Theater, uh, 233 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: and just reading off the script. But it is a 234 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: win number eighty eight for the Yankees, so they've already 235 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: passed their two thousand win total. I think the over 236 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: under for them this year was eighty nine and a half. 237 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: Like they're they're official over under. Uh so they're probably 238 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: gonna go over unless they completely collapse. Here during the day. 239 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: After that was after Cole went down the eight and 240 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: nine and a half. 241 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, they're gonna overachieve, I think a 242 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 2: little bit. But uh hey, nice performance by Cam Schlitzer. 243 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: And it's time for everybody's favorite segment, State of the Yanks. 244 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: All right, So six games remaining, we got Aaron Judge 245 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: trying to beat out cal Raley for the MVP. I 246 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 2: could see him going off against like the White Sox 247 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: and Orioles down the stretch here, like, you know, I 248 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: could see him in six games hitting four home runs, Like, 249 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: I could see him doing that. That would give him 250 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: like fifty three if he gets pitched to. But they 251 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 2: had no reason not to pitch him. We saw the 252 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: Orioles go right after him. Today, he's gonna be at home. 253 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: He's gonna be, you know, digging the energy. The Yankees 254 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: are trying to round into form here for the postseason, 255 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: and he's trying to get locked in. I could see 256 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: him going nuts this week. We're closing in on four 257 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: to thirty home run guys, which is interesting, and we're 258 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: done with the road, and we might be done with 259 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 2: the road for the entire I mean, depending on how 260 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,959 Speaker 2: the wildcard round goes, or you know, perhaps if the 261 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 2: Aanches make it to the division series, they'll play another 262 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: road game. But if they play in a wildcard and 263 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 2: lose both or lose two out of three, then this 264 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: this is it for the road Grays this year, which 265 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 2: is hard to believe. But what are your thoughts with 266 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: six games remaining on just the twenty twenty five season 267 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 2: as a whole. 268 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 3: God, the twenty twenty what a weird season, I feel like, 269 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 3: but they got to go at least four and two 270 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: to me, at least go forward too, because you need 271 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 3: to lock. 272 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: Down home field advantage in the playoffs. 273 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 3: I feel like this was a typical kind of twenty 274 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: twenties Aaron Boone Yankee season. You started off really good, 275 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: you were kind of. 276 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Running away with the division. Then they were. 277 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: Really bad during the like months of pretty much June 278 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: and July, pretty five hundred in August, and then playing 279 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: better in September. 280 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: Like this is the Yankees. 281 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: It's like it's kind of a every year, it's a 282 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: big in the middle of the season. 283 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, every year. So I don't know why that is. 284 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's And I can't really think 285 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: of any major injuries in the middle of the season. Like, 286 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 3: you know, you had Stanton that was gone for the 287 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 3: first part of the season. Cole obviously went down heel, 288 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 3: but Aaron Judge only only went on like the ten 289 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: day I l or something like that. It wasn't like 290 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: any critical major injuries. Maybe Jazz Chishom missed a month there, 291 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: but like other than that, they've been like relatively healthy. 292 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: So I I, you. 293 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: Know, I guess that's a win because you know, injuries 294 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: have been a problem for this team. 295 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 2: But I mean they lost I don't know why that 296 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: is there. They lost Clark Schmidt. 297 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 3: Schmid, Yeah, yes, yeah, Schlitdler came in there and filled 298 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 3: the role like pretty much picked it up. 299 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: Like I don't even miss Schmidt. 300 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you forgot all about him. I mean, 301 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: if you had told me that Clark Schmidt was gonna 302 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: have a three point twenty seven e ra A for 303 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: the rest of the season at the time he got injured, 304 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: I would have signed up for it, which is exactly 305 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: the e ra that Cam Schlitzler has put up so 306 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: and and to a certain degree, I think Cam Schlittler's 307 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: pitched better because he goes deeper into games a lot 308 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: of times. Right, We've seen him go six six innings 309 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: a couple of times. I mean we hardly ever saw 310 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: uh Clark Schmidt do that. But you know, I still 311 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: like Schmidt and I miss him. But let's take a 312 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: couple of voicemails here, all right, how. 313 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: About some love for Devin Williams. 314 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: What I there? 315 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 4: All season we've been given it to Devin Williams. But 316 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 4: how about striking out the side in the eighth inning? 317 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: Wow? 318 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, what a what a performance by Devin Williams. 319 00:15:53,360 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: We have to give credit where credits due, and uh yeah, 320 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: that's what I was gonna say. And I hope it's 321 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: a great, great end to his Yankees career. The show, the. 322 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: Yankees are surprisingly actually not losing the game. Brad the 323 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: great Game. But he told Rice, man. 324 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: This kid is specially He's gotta be a big part 325 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 2: of our success in the future hopefully. Yeah. Ben Rice 326 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: is the real deal, man. I mean, he's just such 327 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 2: a consistent hitter. He's hit the ball really hard all season. 328 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: You know what, TK, give me your thoughts on him. 329 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull up his stat cast numbers. 330 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm literally looking up his savant page. 331 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm really I'm really excited, dude, his savant page. Like, 332 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 3: if you take away his his like profile, his name 333 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 3: with his picture, that looks like Aaron Judge or Bobby 334 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 3: Witt or Shoeo Tani. It looks like that a lot 335 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 3: of red up there. It's it's pretty pretty insane to see. Uh, 336 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: you know, I think you gotta find a way for 337 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 3: him to get every day at bat's next season. I 338 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: mean he's pretty much had that this season as well. 339 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 3: But I'm talking in the lineup every single day every day, 340 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: so every days. That's probably gonna be rotating between first 341 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 3: catching and DH next season. I would assume obviously health 342 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: is going to play a factor in that. But yeah, 343 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: you know, Paul Goldschman's not gonna come back. That was 344 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: sort of like a stop gap first base situation, so 345 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 3: don't definitely don't expect him back. 346 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: But yeah, Ben Ray is probably going to be the 347 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: everyday first baseman. 348 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: The final thing for him is you know, kind of 349 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 3: put the defense together right like, kind of you know, 350 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 3: get a little bit more comfortable. I don't need him 351 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 3: to be a gold lover. I just need him to 352 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: be adequate, you know. And he's been solid. But there's 353 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 3: been a couple of plays here and there, a couple 354 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 3: of scoops that he's missed. But that's all I really 355 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 3: need for him to work on. 356 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 2: First base is not a difficult position to get good at. 357 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: I've seen guys do it because you just got to 358 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 2: really get really good at picking right. You don't have 359 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 2: to worry about your practicing your throws that often, right, 360 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 2: I mean, how often is the first baseman throw. I 361 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,919 Speaker 2: mean there's not a ton of plays that they're involved 362 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: in relay wise, I mean right field to home, you know, 363 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: but most of the time at Yankee Stadium, Judge is 364 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: gonna go, you know, from right or Bellinger, whoever's playing 365 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: out there, is going to go all the way on 366 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: that throw anyway, because it's not far. Yeah, I think 367 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 2: that he could be a good first basement if he 368 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: put the time in. I do think that the Yankees, 369 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: like Austin Wells, like he does have some power. He 370 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: drives in runs. I think there's more in there offensively, 371 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: but he's got to get away from that home run 372 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 2: or nothing approach. He needs to work with Bellinger on 373 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 2: kind of like a two strike approach, right, because every 374 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: swing is like that Gargantuan launched the ball to right 375 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 2: field swing, and when he does take it to left field, 376 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: it's in the air, which is not good at Yankee Stadium, right, 377 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 2: it's not it's not a good place to hit the 378 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: ball in the air the other way right. I want 379 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: to see more line drives from him. I want to 380 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: see a contact approach. But again, a lot of. 381 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: I'll throw at you though, Derek. 382 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: The one the one thing with you know Ben Rice 383 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: kind of playing first base is are you're starting to 384 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 3: think about Aaron Judge at. 385 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: First base as the future? 386 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: You know he im thinking about it, Yeah, you know, like, 387 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: how are you going to kind of go about that? 388 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about it. But you know, he doesn't need surgery. 389 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: You know, they say it's just a flexer stream. It's 390 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 2: not like a UCL So you hope that just he 391 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 2: rested over the winter. I would love to see him 392 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 2: transition to first base eventually, but I've been calling it 393 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,959 Speaker 2: for years and the Yankees never do it. I mean, 394 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: this guy played center field last year. He's still obviously 395 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: athletic enough to play the out. He'll still a plus defender. 396 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: Maybe when the defense starts to fall off in right field, 397 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: maybe you move him. But I think the Yankees will 398 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: try and get you know, someone else at first base 399 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: next year.

You know, Judge Ken DH one, Stanton is gone, 426 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: He's only got two years left on his deal. Judge 427 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 2: will be like, what thirty five at that point, thirty 428 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 2: six something like that. Yeah, I mean I could see 429 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: him sliding over to be a DH four the final 430 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: four or five years of his career. That's absolutely in play. 431 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: But until then, you know, Yankees are gonna have to 432 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: make a decision at first base and I agree with you. 433 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be Ben Rice, and I think 434 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 2: they're gonna keep Austin Wells, you know, just the the 435 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 2: left handed bats in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are a 436 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: home run hitting team. They've always been a home run 437 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: hitting team, and I think they're gonna continue to try 438 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 2: and hit home runs. Seven and three road trip? How 439 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 2: you feeling with one week left in the season? How deep? 440 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 2: How deep are we going in the playoffs? Man? Where 441 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 2: do you stand? You know? 442 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 3: I'll I just want to point out also action was 443 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: that action VJ was saying, you know, the Yankees should 444 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,199 Speaker 3: maybe look into like a veteran catcher to kind of 445 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,360 Speaker 3: be Wells's backup next season, sort of help him out. 446 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: I do think that's probably a good way to go, 447 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 3: Like a guy like a Travis Darnaut, like somebody kind 448 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: of like that, you know, just a name to throw out. 449 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 3: But I think for the Yankees, obviously the bullpen is 450 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 3: going to be a critical part of the equation. 451 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: That's easier said than that. 452 00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: I think really what it's gonna come down to, though, 453 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 3: is like you said, you need Stanton and you need 454 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: Judge to be hitting. I really think Cody Bellinger is 455 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 3: the key if he's hitting in the playoffs. I really 456 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: do think that because he's kind of in the heart 457 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 3: of the order right he's usually hitting right after Judge, 458 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: nice lefty bat, hustles, plays good defense obviously on the 459 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: other side of the the other side of the ball. 460 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 3: But I think it's gonna come down to big two 461 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 3: out hits and if they can play clean baseball, if they. 462 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: Can do those two things. Who in the American League 463 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: really scares you? 464 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 3: I mean Detroit, Okay, Detroit's got Trek Schoubel, and you know, 465 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 3: they they pretty much collapsed so that this, you know, 466 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: later part of the season. 467 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: Houston, do they really scare me? 468 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: Maybe just because it's the logo and it's it's not 469 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: even minute made anymore. It's a stupid name now, But like, 470 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 3: you know, do they scare me a little bit? I 471 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: guess Toronto, Like there's nobody out there that I'm like, 472 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 3: oh my god, I really can't don't want to see them. 473 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: The only one And you know what, Brian wu went 474 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: down for the Mariners, Like yeah, yeah, So I don't 475 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: know how long he's out. I haven't seen an update 476 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: on him, but I know he exited the game early 477 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 2: the other night, so which he never does. We got 478 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 2: to comment here from Aaron Rich who says re signed 479 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 2: Belly extend Jazz. I think that Belly's going to be 480 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 2: their number one target this winter, Like just bringing him 481 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: back is going to be their main thing. As far 482 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: as the Jazz extension, I'm sure that the Yankees would 483 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: consider it, but his agent is probably saying, go to 484 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,479 Speaker 2: free agency, especially if you're you know, thirty thirty this year. 485 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: He's got a chance to be forty forty next year, right, 486 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: imagine hitting you know, the free agency after a forty 487 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: forty season. You're talking hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars. 488 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: So we'll see how it shakes out. But I really 489 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 2: like Jazz and I hope they bring him back. TK 490 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 2: any final thoughts here as we we wrap this up. 491 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: I guess the final thought about that is, did you 492 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 3: see Jazz's comments. I mean, he said he wanted to stay. 493 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 3: He's said that, I know he wants to be the Yankees. 494 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: Just what Yeah, but so did Sodo. Everybody says they 495 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: want to stay. 496 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: Too, But do you really pay second Baseman? 497 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 2: You know, I mean, if they go forty forty, you do. 498 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: That'll be my final thought. Yeah right, all right, ladies 499 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: and gentlemen, We'll see you next time. 500 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. 501 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 2: If you enjoyed this content, please hit that like button 502 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: and subscribe.
