transcript

Speaker 1:
[00:00] Amazon presents Laura vs. Fruit Flies. Swarming your fruit and terrorizing your kitchen, these little freaks multiply at a rate that would make a rabbit say, yo, chill. But Laura shopped on Amazon and saved on cleaning spray, countertop wipes and fly traps. Hey, Fruit Flies, your baby boom ends here. Save the everyday with Amazon.

Speaker 2:
[00:30] Today is April 23rd. The Yankees win all three games against the Portland Sea Dogs. Let's talk all about it. That's their AA team. I'm making a joke about how bad. We won and they just concluded the third game, the sweep, four to three. Your main takeaway from this series?

Speaker 3:
[01:31] James Davis, everyone tuning in. If you went on the Fanatics Sportsbook and you bet the Red Sox to be horrible, you would have done really well. That would probably be my biggest takeaway.

Speaker 2:
[01:40] And the odds weren't great.

Speaker 4:
[01:42] Ah, ha ha.

Speaker 3:
[01:44] Yeah, man. I don't know. We're obviously peacocking our feathers a little bit because the Yankees sweep. We got a win streak.

Speaker 2:
[01:50] A little bit of a trap by the Red Sox to just not try at all. And then we come in next time.

Speaker 3:
[01:57] So you're starting there. You're starting there. OK. I just wanted to know. I didn't know if it was going to be a crescendo. I didn't know if we were going to start there. You're starting out wide.

Speaker 2:
[02:08] I'm saying that. This might have been a great strategy by the Red Sox. I'm giving them a compliment.

Speaker 3:
[02:16] See, that feels even worse.

Speaker 2:
[02:18] This is like evil genius. Like, CORE gave them dummy bats that had no power in them as like a donut for us, because now we think they're a rollover team, and that might hurt us next time we face them.

Speaker 3:
[02:33] Cam Schlitler and Max Fried are two of the best pitchers in baseball.

Speaker 2:
[02:36] That's true. That's true.

Speaker 3:
[02:40] That's true. Yep.

Speaker 2:
[02:42] Even better.

Speaker 3:
[02:42] Luis Gil pitches amazing at Fenway Park.

Speaker 2:
[02:45] Even better when they're facing prank bats.

Speaker 3:
[02:53] I don't know. It was a bad show in By the Socks.

Speaker 2:
[02:57] Oh, my God. The sun insults them off the rib.

Speaker 3:
[03:00] I hate to take the nails out. I hate to take the nails out. That was tough. You're kind of looking at the field like, what do some of you fellas do here? And I think the Red Sox are looking at each other and thinking that right now. Uh, that yeah, it's it's our second year. I think we did this with the San Francisco Giants who have turned it around. It's a long season. It's a.

Speaker 2:
[03:24] I was agreeing.

Speaker 3:
[03:25] I saw the look in your face. That was I saw the look in your face. You looked at me like Jaren Duran looked at Caleb Durbin after they collided.

Speaker 2:
[03:34] No, that's I was looking at you with like eyes of love. Duran, he wasn't into that.

Speaker 3:
[03:39] We said this when we swept the San Francisco Giants to start the season. We're like, man, this is great. This is an ideal start, but part of it doesn't feel like we should gloat because what was that? Yeah, that was a rough product by the Sox outside of Peyton Tolley. He was great today.

Speaker 2:
[03:57] He was good.

Speaker 3:
[03:57] He was great today.

Speaker 2:
[03:58] Yeah. Contreras played a good first base.

Speaker 3:
[04:00] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[04:01] Mostly the bottom of their lineup gave the Yankees the easiest and quickest outs.

Speaker 3:
[04:06] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:06] And sometimes the top and sometimes the top. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[04:10] A little bit in the middle.

Speaker 2:
[04:10] And we'll go into it on the show because that's kind of what we're doing here today. We're going to recap all three games. Jake's going to have great burns. And then we're going to talk about the games at hand. And then the second half of the show, we break it down to just the players and we give out some awards. So the one segment I didn't tell you we're going to do, we'll do now. It's called grounds. Oh, we have some news. We have some with wildness.

Speaker 3:
[04:32] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:32] In the grounds keeping.

Speaker 3:
[04:34] I have a piece of news, but I'll let you chef king.

Speaker 2:
[04:36] All right. Ryan Weathers welcomed in a new baby. He went on the paternity list to do that. Jake Byrd got called up to replace him. Jake Byrd.

Speaker 3:
[04:48] Unseen. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:49] Tim Hill.

Speaker 3:
[04:50] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:50] Ben Rice.

Speaker 3:
[04:51] Yeah. Chris Rose.

Speaker 2:
[04:54] Names. Words. Garrett Cole made his second rehab start tonight in high A Hudson Valley.

Speaker 3:
[05:02] Eric Cole almost works.

Speaker 2:
[05:04] He threw 52 pitches and 42 of them were strikes.

Speaker 3:
[05:11] That's boredom. That's that's boredom.

Speaker 2:
[05:13] That's boredom. Might as well face the Red Sox. Struck out four, walked none because of all the strikes we talked about. I think he did give up a homer and the defense failed him on a double. Carlos Rodan hasn't pitched yet, but he's ahead of Cole on the return list. Cole's pitched three times now in the minor leagues twice, I think.

Speaker 3:
[05:33] They're at similar pitches. Cole gets extended time because he's coming off Tommy John and he's Garrett Cole. But yeah, it's from what was a month apart, feels like it very could be very well could be a week apart.

Speaker 2:
[05:49] Yeah. Yeah, it could be. They could do it like a one, two punch and they're like, we told you that Rodan was first and Cole comes the next day.

Speaker 3:
[05:58] Because I said I did say this in the live stream lounge. Thanks for everyone that was there. It was us and Max Manus' friends. So I don't know if that'll get to them. It probably will. Max pays attention. Watches the show. That yeah, I. I forgot what I was going to say. You said in live, I said in the live stream lounge, it was about Cole and Rodan. Oh, I don't if Cole's just wasting bullets at AAA. You're upset. I'm not happy. Yeah, like I realize we need to be as protective with him as possible. He's a massive asset. He's Eric Cole. It's the most significant pitching injury. I'd say second to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. We'll cover that later in the show. But like if Garrett Cole's metrics are good and his recovery is fine and he's just doing bonus starts at AAA, I'm not about that.

Speaker 2:
[06:46] No.

Speaker 3:
[06:48] So I'm interested to see. I'm interested to see the next steps because, dude, if Cole's next outing is like 60 pitches, 51 strikes, like that's him just being like, fellas, yeah, I'm here. And they're probably going off the metrics and they're measuring his arm after starts and stuff.

Speaker 2:
[07:08] What the doctors say?

Speaker 3:
[07:09] As long as he's passing that stuff, if it hits a weird point, I don't want it to hit a weird point.

Speaker 2:
[07:14] All right. And to round out the groundskeeping, Volpe is gonna play another series. He's gonna schedule to play nine innings tomorrow. Then he's gonna DH and he's gonna play nine again. And then they might be calling him up for the Ranger Series, which seems quick. He's got six hits in the minors. I went and I watched all of them. Three are really nice.

Speaker 3:
[07:33] That's good.

Speaker 2:
[07:34] Not that the other three are bad. That's not what I meant to do there.

Speaker 3:
[07:37] Right.

Speaker 2:
[07:38] I meant to say like three. Because if you don't know this, if you watch minor league at bats, there's so many hits that you're like, that's not a hit. That's not a hit. And no, Volpe had three that he put right back over the middle over second base. That were nice piece of hitting.

Speaker 3:
[07:54] Three exciting hits.

Speaker 4:
[07:57] I have one groundskeeping note.

Speaker 3:
[07:59] Oh, everyone's got.

Speaker 2:
[07:59] Everyone's coming up my fucking groundskeeping today.

Speaker 4:
[08:02] Congrats, Ryan Weathers. The baby's name, Paul David Weathers. My name David Paul. So I don't know, freak me out.

Speaker 2:
[08:09] What is that, his dad's name?

Speaker 4:
[08:10] His dad's name is David. Probably David Paul. Yeah, I gotta look into what his middle name is.

Speaker 3:
[08:16] I've got great news on this.

Speaker 2:
[08:17] Your name is David Paul?

Speaker 4:
[08:18] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[08:19] We could have been calling you D.

Speaker 4:
[08:21] P.

Speaker 3:
[08:22] Do you have the dirtiest nicknames in the world?

Speaker 2:
[08:26] These are BBD and DP.

Speaker 3:
[08:29] Could have been his dad's name.

Speaker 2:
[08:33] I was talking to Siri.

Speaker 3:
[08:37] His dad's name is John David Weathers. So the David was kind of a lie.

Speaker 2:
[08:46] I think there's a pope theme going on in the family.

Speaker 3:
[08:50] They seem pretty.

Speaker 2:
[08:52] So his kid is probably going to go by David Weathers. It's truly after the dad. Because the dad's middle name is David. So they might be naming him Paul David knowing they're going to call him David.

Speaker 4:
[09:05] Ryan's middle name is David too. So this family just has David middle name.

Speaker 3:
[09:09] It's a lot of David.

Speaker 4:
[09:11] It's too much.

Speaker 2:
[09:12] Do you think his dad wanted him to go by David?

Speaker 3:
[09:15] Ryan was them kind of like breaking the mold a little bit.

Speaker 2:
[09:18] He was like, son, we all go by our middle name here. I named you after me.

Speaker 3:
[09:23] All right.

Speaker 2:
[09:24] And he's like, I'll go by Ryan.

Speaker 3:
[09:25] Sorry for digging up the Weathers family dirt. BBD being a filth animal over there. My groundskeeping was Arvel Reese is a giant. Go follow Talkin Yanks. They're doing a bunch of draft coverage. They're actually about to make the 10th. The pick is in for the 10th pick. So there will be a new new giant, new baby, new giant coming up.

Speaker 4:
[09:47] They're Talkin Yanks is probably live very soon after this stream is over.

Speaker 3:
[09:52] That's a good point.

Speaker 2:
[09:53] And that brings us to Jakey's Burns, which are brought to you. This first burn brought to you by Lids.

Speaker 3:
[10:01] Oh, sick.

Speaker 2:
[10:02] I just put on a Lids hat.

Speaker 3:
[10:04] That's dope, yo.

Speaker 2:
[10:06] It's Simpsons themed. Baseball's back and we all remember that first trip to the mall. Walking into Lids and picking out a fresh Yankees hat for the summer season. Now that summer's around the corner, it's time to give your kid that same experience. Get 15% off of your kid's next headwear or apparel purchase by texting Yanks to 29017. So get 15% off of your kid's next headwear, this kid or the next kid by sending a text to Yanks 29017.

Speaker 3:
[10:47] Get a hat from Lids.

Speaker 2:
[10:51] I put on your hat, which is three sizes too small and it kind of my brain up.

Speaker 3:
[10:56] It's a small hat.

Speaker 2:
[10:57] Broke me in the song.

Speaker 3:
[10:57] It's a peanut head.

Speaker 2:
[10:59] Game number one.

Speaker 3:
[11:09] It would be countily early and often for the Sox, while Luis would try to be king of the hill to kick off the rivalry. DJ J Young hit the music. Tequero, Fenway, Homers, it's one, nothing, Yanks. It stay that way. Into the six, a Rihanna double as Big G is friends with the monster. Two run double, three, nothing, Yanks. And that means zero, which that means the Gila monster was dealing. 6.1 innings, two hits, three walks, five Ks. Randall Grichucks up an insurance run, but the Yanks didn't need it. Heel to head to hill to bed. Night night, Yanks shut out the Sox, four, nothing, final.

Speaker 2:
[11:58] Oh, I like night night.

Speaker 3:
[12:00] Like that?

Speaker 2:
[12:01] The whole stadium all in unison. Night night.

Speaker 3:
[12:03] It's just tough.

Speaker 2:
[12:04] I don't want that to happen.

Speaker 3:
[12:05] No, that won't happen.

Speaker 2:
[12:06] I don't want Judge to accidentally hear that mandate it happens.

Speaker 3:
[12:12] The whole problem. Enter Sandman. Yeah, is about putting you to sleep. When you sleep.

Speaker 2:
[12:18] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[12:19] This guy's last name is Bednar. So it'd be it's the only time Mariano's been a slight inconvenience for me. OK.

Speaker 2:
[12:29] Only time. 2001. Jake, this was a good game. Heel shoved and in a way, in a way. No, I mean, I'm a results guy.

Speaker 3:
[12:47] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[12:48] So he'll he'll shoved some other notes from this. The Red Sox had a six inning hitless stretch. I think they did the same thing the next game as well. Some at this point, Bellinger has a nine game hit streak after game one. That's nice. Rice did snap his homer streak and his good. He had a golden sombrero, and I don't think anyone noticed. Got hit by a pitch in the middle of it. But that was pretty good. The Caballero thing happens here. I don't know if you're carrying that over. He's getting carried over. That instant stays in the game or not.

Speaker 3:
[13:26] Talk about it. Now, I think so.

Speaker 2:
[13:29] We I think I felt really happy for listeners of Talkin Yanks because they were well prepared for that nonsense. Like the rest of the baseball world got introduced to what Cabbie's been doing with the eight seconds because it was on main display in this game. But we had been talking about it for a couple of shows now saying, hey, watch, he waits till eight seconds, doesn't allow the person to see his eyes. I think it's very funny. And just like stealing bases. I'm a little softer on caught stealing now because you got to try to get it done. And I mean, this has annoyed pitchers and worked far more times than it hasn't, which is just once.

Speaker 3:
[14:10] Yeah, it's a fun form of entertainment that you, I mean, we're friendly with Major League Baseball at this point that you, did the breakdown come out about the, okay, that you talked to the league a little bit about some of the holding runners on that we saw Boone.

Speaker 2:
[14:28] I avenged Boone. No, I didn't avenge him.

Speaker 3:
[14:30] Didn't avenge Boone.

Speaker 2:
[14:32] I just got, yeah.

Speaker 3:
[14:33] Yeah, I'm, it's the first time I've wanted to bite my tongue a little bit because I want Caballero to keep doing this. But he just is such catnip for umpires that they have to come out. And it's not just a, they don't just do the eyes up here and then like play ball. There has to be a conversation. And then usually someone gets confused between Boone, the opposing manager, the catcher, or the pitcher, that then makes the ump take his mask off. It was, if it wasn't already off, explain things thoroughly. And it's just a delay of game. It should be a penalty. If it was the NFL, it would be a penalty.

Speaker 2:
[15:17] Jirardi said, I like this. He's really, you know, he's using it to his advantage. They're making it illegal next year.

Speaker 3:
[15:23] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[15:23] And Kenny was like, what? And yet they probably will. No one else is doing it though. If every batter started doing this, MLB would be like, enough is enough. It's funny how many of the relievers come in and don't like get that it's happening. You would think they would prep them. But even in the heat of the moment, they probably forget they're just going through their rhythm. Anyway, backfired on them. You got struck out in that moment. I had a lot of people tweeting at me. One guy I think that was like, you shouldn't be doing that shit. That's like what a 200 hitter does, which is like exactly what Caballero said about himself. I don't have the skills to just go and play. I have to win the mind game. Like he has admitted that.

Speaker 3:
[15:59] Yeah. Let me see, what else? From this game, I have, oh, this was a really cold game again. Jazz and Caballero. Jim, I was happy. We've had our critique of what Twitter has turned into, and I still agree with that. I would tweet it out. It was the first time I was like, I don't know if people are even gonna get this. I don't know if people are even gonna like it, and people are probably gonna spin it into weird comments. I tweeted out a picture of the flyer from the town where they're both wearing full-none outfits to Rob Fenway Park, and I said, Jazz and Caballero dressed for the cold weather at Fenway Park tonight. Typed it out, and I was like, dude, don't even post it. If someone doesn't like it, it's gonna ruin your night. Got a lot of love, no negative comments. I was pretty happy.

Speaker 2:
[16:46] I didn't get it.

Speaker 3:
[16:46] They looked so cold.

Speaker 2:
[16:47] But I liked it. But Jazz and Caballero looked very cold.

Speaker 3:
[16:50] Too cold. They looked like they were wearing outfits.

Speaker 2:
[16:53] I think I did. I tweeted it. I said they look too cold.

Speaker 3:
[16:56] They look too cold.

Speaker 2:
[16:57] Uh, I don't know. He'll get talked about. I mean, Headrick used for the third straight day, something like that.

Speaker 3:
[17:07] I think that becomes the next.

Speaker 2:
[17:09] Oh, I have some other milestones. OK, home run career, 484, 456 for Stanton.

Speaker 3:
[17:18] Yeah, I mean, this this goes down as a Stanton game. I think you and I are both curious if we're about to talk about it more. But he goes two for four, three RBI, the home run off the monster. His career numbers at Fenway are sick. The stadium literally feels too small for him. Yeah. And, you know, a place where hitters are traditionally comfortable. He was coming into this series in a funk. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[17:44] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[17:44] Had he not hit a lefty yet this year?

Speaker 2:
[17:46] Yeah, he had no hits off a left yet. No, I was waiting for you to finish.

Speaker 3:
[17:51] I would guess the only other thing I'd really have to add is my mom, who hasn't watched a lot of Yankee games this year, watched this game and she was a little sad for Connolly Early.

Speaker 2:
[18:03] Why?

Speaker 3:
[18:04] I don't know.

Speaker 2:
[18:04] He pitched well.

Speaker 3:
[18:05] Yeah, I think she...

Speaker 2:
[18:08] He looked so young, probably.

Speaker 3:
[18:09] He just looked so young and innocent in the long hair that my mom was just... My mom was like, I thought he would do a little better.

Speaker 2:
[18:15] That's what she said?

Speaker 3:
[18:16] Yeah. What? And she's a Yankees fan, like she was rooting for the Yanks.

Speaker 2:
[18:21] How does she know enough about Connolly Early to be thinking about how he's going to do it at start?

Speaker 3:
[18:25] She has the scouting report.

Speaker 2:
[18:26] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[18:27] All right.

Speaker 2:
[18:28] Okay. Jazz first two-hit game of the season was game one. Bunt did it for a second hit. That was nice. Okay.

Speaker 3:
[18:36] Grichick two hits.

Speaker 2:
[18:38] Yeah. Goatee Grichick made an appearance.

Speaker 3:
[18:41] Yeah. Goatee Grich. Wow.

Speaker 2:
[18:44] After this game, the Yankees ranked first in ERA. Their rotation ranked first in ERA, first in batting average against first in on-base percentage allowed, first in OPS allowed after this game. And next game. Oh my God. Check this out.

Speaker 3:
[19:04] The Yanks would try to stay out of trouble against the Fenway Park Ranger, as Suarez and the Yanks ace, Max Fried, would have a battle of the Southpaws in the Commonwealth. Top one, every rose has its thorn. Rosario, three run ding-dong to break Boston's spirit. And, if it wasn't always broken to the max, well, Fried sure did it. Eight innings pitched, three hits, two walks, nine Ks, zero runs. Pitty run late for the Sox. Max to head, I bet. Yanks win, 4-1 final.

Speaker 2:
[19:38] Maximum head, I bet. BBD's third nickname.

Speaker 3:
[19:41] I didn't say any of that stuff.

Speaker 2:
[19:43] Okay. That's filth. This game got flip turn upside down, officially. Like, oh, does John Sterling turning moment of the game? Remember that turning point of the game? And then he would tell you after commercial break?

Speaker 3:
[19:58] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[19:58] And then was it Mike and Maddow's or Boomer and Carton? They used to guess it. What do you think his turning point of the game was? That was a game that they would play on the morning show and the fan. Okay. Fried has second and third no outs, and he hasn't looked sharp at this point in the game. So you're like, damn, like, is this going to be a big inning? He switches his arsenal to all of the junk pitches. The sinker and the cutter and the fastball were kind of not there. And he goes, I think he went curve, change up, change up. To Durbin, or it could have been change, curve, curve. But he all off speed to the derb and got him. I think three pitches in a row. Then comes Connor Wong. And it was again, like curve, curve, change, or change, change. It was just all off speed and got him again. Then came up old pal, IKF. Think he might have gave him a sympathy sinker. And then went curve, change up and struck out the side with ease. And I think after that, Fried was like, well, okay. Retired 14 batters straight after that.

Speaker 3:
[21:00] Yes, he goes to the stretch, which he talks about after the game, because you're right, he didn't feel as clean up until that point. And yeah, I think that in a genuine way did break Boston's spirits in offense that's struggling runners on second and third, like they're who are supposed to be their in play batters coming up. Yeah, like don't strike out, do anything but strike out. Yeah, and he struck all three of them out on four pitches each.

Speaker 2:
[21:29] Yeah, and he looked great the rest of the way.

Speaker 3:
[21:33] Yeah, his best start of the year, the off speed started cooking. He found his great curveball, which they talked about on the broadcast. And then once that went in, he just found that groove where he threw a demon sweeper at one point, that that final pitch to get Durant after Durant had gotten too dull. Like you could see the look in his eye when Durant came up for that third at bat. He's like, I made two mistakes to you. That is not about to happen now. Get ready for this. And then he just busted his hands.

Speaker 2:
[22:01] Even after the second hit, he had a look like, oh my God, I can't believe that just happened. Stan Stanton had his second straight multi hit game. And each of his last five hits at this point, extra bases.

Speaker 3:
[22:17] Likes Fenway.

Speaker 2:
[22:18] Yeah. Judge reached three times in game one and game two. So that OBP is probably coming back up.

Speaker 3:
[22:25] And then this was our sneaky, this was our third baseman game. Rosario with offense, McMahon with defense.

Speaker 2:
[22:32] The formula is showing itself. First lefties. Anything else?

Speaker 3:
[22:41] I don't know. OK.

Speaker 2:
[22:44] Line up decisions, Rosario leads off. No, that was this game.

Speaker 3:
[22:48] Richick, there was some pinch hitting stuff.

Speaker 2:
[22:51] Oh, only the righties got hits in this game. So that was kind of cool because the righty lineup for a couple of two years have been so awful. Now, granted, stand and judge are two of the righties. But Rosario obviously gets all four home runs or all four RBI's and Grichick got two hits and those are platoon righties. So to see like the splits really come to fruition, I guess is what I'm saying. Sometimes the strategies are sound.

Speaker 3:
[23:22] Yes, I think what was questionable in an unquestionable series on Jack Curry was the pinch hitting format like Rosario had looked really good at the plate. Grichick had looked pretty good at the plate. Goldschmidt had not looked good at the plate. And then when they went pinch hit mode, when they pulled Ranger Suarez, which I was shocked, they pulled Ranger Suarez.

Speaker 2:
[23:51] I was not.

Speaker 3:
[23:53] He was at 71 pitches. You've already lost the game. Why are you going to burn more bullpen? That was my thought process.

Speaker 2:
[23:59] I don't think they thought they had lost.

Speaker 3:
[24:00] I mean, they did lose to Ranger Suarez, but they did. Yeah, but like that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2:
[24:04] Cora can't manage like in that regard.

Speaker 3:
[24:07] Yeah, I just...

Speaker 2:
[24:09] I mean, if you want to protect Ranger Suarez, it's like ERA on the year and not have him eat it. Stanton and Rosario were like crushing the ball.

Speaker 3:
[24:17] Yeah, I wouldn't have pitched to Stanton. I would have put him on first and gone for it.

Speaker 2:
[24:20] Rosario hit him harder.

Speaker 3:
[24:22] 71 pitches, their bullpen is already worn out. Like it's a long season.

Speaker 2:
[24:27] I know.

Speaker 3:
[24:27] Ranger Suarez, you just gave 150 mil.

Speaker 2:
[24:29] Yeah, I think you want to not ask him to eat it.

Speaker 3:
[24:32] The Red Sox are breaking two pitchers' emotions in this game because they did the AAA call up, which Buck just told you, really hurts a clubhouse morale. They did that at the end of the game. And their new signed ace, they're pulling him at 71 pitches.

Speaker 2:
[24:48] Yeah, if they don't, he's going to give up four more runs and he's going to ruin his ERA, of course protecting him.

Speaker 3:
[24:56] Or he gets the out because he's Ranger Suarez and he's got, he wasn't getting the right. Joe Girardi compared him to Mariano on the broadcast.

Speaker 2:
[25:04] That was a slip up.

Speaker 3:
[25:06] Keg like called him. He's like, are you sure? We are live on the Yes Network, Joe. You're going to compare Ranger Suarez to Mariano? Yes. I don't know. It didn't really matter what the Red Sox did. That's the problem.

Speaker 2:
[25:20] For nothing. I mean, it should have felt like it never felt like a close game.

Speaker 3:
[25:23] 4-1.

Speaker 2:
[25:24] 4-1. But it never felt like a close game.

Speaker 3:
[25:26] Do we want to talk about the end of the game thing? Is that coming up later?

Speaker 2:
[25:30] Oh!

Speaker 3:
[25:30] Because there was something important that Yankee fans were chattering about.

Speaker 2:
[25:34] Were they? Or is it just you and I?

Speaker 3:
[25:36] No.

Speaker 2:
[25:36] I don't want to check a lot.

Speaker 3:
[25:37] Other Yankee fans were talking about it.

Speaker 2:
[25:39] That the play Caballero makes to end the game. I don't know what Volpe makes. He might. I don't think so.

Speaker 3:
[25:47] It gets a little sweaty at the end of the game because they go to Headrick?

Speaker 2:
[25:50] Oh, a crick in my neck.

Speaker 3:
[25:52] What was that?

Speaker 2:
[25:53] You know, I turned slightly and I got that shooting pain. Now I'm going to have a, you know.

Speaker 3:
[25:57] I saw it.

Speaker 2:
[25:58] Yeah. Oh, dude, that hurt so bad.

Speaker 3:
[26:01] My God. I guess this is of Yankees housekeeping. They go to Headrick again, who usage wise, in theory, should have been the last person they went to in the bullpen. And that outing. Genuinely. Yeah, genuinely. He was pitched the day before. Every other pitcher has been used so much less. They go to Headrick. Headrick gets himself into a little bit of a little bit of goof juice.

Speaker 2:
[26:29] Oh, my God.

Speaker 3:
[26:30] Story Singles, Duran Singles. So now you have the tying run at the plate. Or excuse me, Duran Singles' story scored. That Derb comes up. Tough, tough series, tough season for Derbin, former Yankee.

Speaker 2:
[26:48] Farmhand.

Speaker 3:
[26:49] Grounds out to short in the hole. Caballero backhands, makes the throw, beats it by a half step. It would have been interesting if it was Volpe, because Volpe's skill is not his arm strength, that hey, maybe Volpe gets an incredible jump on it. He comes around on that ball and he's throwing from the middle of the door.

Speaker 2:
[27:08] I think Volpe can get that play.

Speaker 3:
[27:10] If he doesn't, in that situation, I don't know, the throw has to be the look at the look at the glove to throw transfer.

Speaker 2:
[27:18] I'm just seeing it with slower eyes, that's why. Wait, what inning is that, the 9th?

Speaker 3:
[27:26] It's just an interesting thought that...

Speaker 2:
[27:27] Play the Tim Hill one.

Speaker 3:
[27:29] Volpe coming back and on the horizon for this Yankees team. You know, Caballero whose stats don't jump off the page, he started off the season really, really slowly.

Speaker 2:
[27:38] Since he saw Volpe, his stats are really good.

Speaker 3:
[27:40] Since Tampa.

Speaker 2:
[27:41] Another great series for him in this series.

Speaker 3:
[27:43] That it's gonna get loud around Volpe at some point this year. We all know that, that it's just what does it look like to feel like in that Caballero play. A Red Sox team fighting for emotion, that would have brought Bednar into the game.

Speaker 2:
[27:56] Yeah, it does. Yes.

Speaker 3:
[27:57] Like the potential ripple effect. Bednar coming into the game, that means something, whether for that game or tomorrow's game. Time run at the plate that, who knows? I'm not gonna let the baseball mind wander like that, but it was, the game ended.

Speaker 2:
[28:11] There's a play in game one when Tim Hill was pitching. Tim Hill came in, got three ground outs on two pitches. Unbelievable winning. And Jazz come, not Jazz, Caballero comes in on one, and it's a quick release to get him at first base. And I was again thinking like, Volpe's good.

Speaker 3:
[28:31] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[28:32] But I don't know if he's making that play. He's very slow.

Speaker 3:
[28:41] Yeah, it would have been interesting.

Speaker 2:
[28:42] Throw just gets him. Volpe's arm is so much slower than that. Like anytime I see that, I'm like, I don't know. Volpe might be faster to the ball.

Speaker 3:
[28:48] I guess that's my thing. Volpe's whole thing is supposed to be his reaction time and his range that maybe he's already two steps ahead of it. I don't know. But it's...

Speaker 2:
[28:56] Caballero's got that thing where he wants to throw the guy out by a single step no matter what. So if it's slow runner, Buck talked about JJ Hardy doing that. Like we could set the timer whatever we wanted. He was going to be a tenth of a second before it.

Speaker 3:
[29:11] Buck talked about that.

Speaker 2:
[29:12] Buck told me about that one.

Speaker 3:
[29:14] Told you?

Speaker 2:
[29:15] That's what you said earlier.

Speaker 3:
[29:19] I did say that. The other thing that maybe I should have said this earlier in the broadcast, is it? Yeah, we're live. I thought, and maybe this has to do with us also beating up the Red Sox, I don't think it does. This is the perfect time of year to play the Red Sox every year. Like the first time we play the Red Sox every season should be about three weeks in. I don't know if we want to tie it into Marathon Day or something like that. That's Boston's thing, so I don't want to intrude on that. But this is the perfect time. Like the season has started. You're three weeks in. You're hot or you're not. You're good or you're bad. Like, let's play a series that kind of matters. Yankees Red Sox.

Speaker 2:
[30:00] I totally agree. I think you texted us that. And I was like, yeah, that's a great, salient, smart point by you. That's when you want to play them. You don't want to open the season in the first weekend of the game in now March, because you're like, that's not even us.

Speaker 3:
[30:16] Right.

Speaker 2:
[30:17] That was a totally different team. So, yeah, I think late April, early May should always be the first Red Soxers. That should be the first rivalry week.

Speaker 3:
[30:27] Kick it off.

Speaker 2:
[30:29] I can't. I got to. That's above me. I don't have that say.

Speaker 3:
[30:34] It is above you.

Speaker 2:
[30:35] Yeah. But I am becoming the judge of MLB, people are saying. If you see Pitchcom out the game in two weeks, that means my power is huge.

Speaker 3:
[30:46] Your power. If you get Pitchcom out of the game in two weeks. All right. All right.

Speaker 2:
[30:52] All right. Game three, Jake.

Speaker 3:
[30:55] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[30:55] Are you ready for this one?

Speaker 3:
[30:57] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[30:58] Sure.

Speaker 3:
[31:00] Red Sox would hope to not slit their pants against local native Cam and the Yanks trying to pay the toll fee against Peyton and Sweep the Sox. Yanks pay homage to Boston by going scoreless through the first four innings. Marcelo, can you take me my ear? Pushes a run across, but the Yanks put jazz on the touch tunes to make it a one-one game. Former Yankee, Carlos Narvaez, Solo Homer. It's two to one Boston into the seventh, but it's seventh heaven. Belly in a pinch, two RBI single. And the judge orders Brad to BMF'er with a certain amount of fortitude to make it fortitude. Boston schlitz the Bednar. Yanks sweep the series fortitude final.

Speaker 2:
[31:52] Schlitz the Bednar?

Speaker 3:
[31:54] Yeah. Boston schlitz the Bednar.

Speaker 2:
[31:57] That's good stuff.

Speaker 3:
[31:58] The New York Post still had balls. They do that.

Speaker 2:
[32:01] They got balls.

Speaker 3:
[32:02] They got balls.

Speaker 2:
[32:04] That's good because those are the two pitchers that pitched. Boston schlitz the bed. Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[32:10] Two guy game.

Speaker 2:
[32:11] It's is it? Did we almost have three two guy games?

Speaker 3:
[32:14] No, no, no, no. The first one wasn't.

Speaker 2:
[32:15] The first game we had more.

Speaker 3:
[32:17] Unless they like let heel go because they knew Boston was being a goof team with their goof bats you were talking about.

Speaker 2:
[32:22] So we had two two guy games. Does that mean we've had four two guy games in the last six games?

Speaker 3:
[32:29] I'd have to crunch the numbers on it, but I think close to that because the bullpen has not been used.

Speaker 2:
[32:34] We needed that pretty bad.

Speaker 3:
[32:35] Always do.

Speaker 2:
[32:37] That's awesome. Yeah, I'm excited. Bednar looked good. His fourth outing since the bunt attack and he's looked good and all efficient. Got the outs.

Speaker 3:
[32:47] Tidy.

Speaker 2:
[32:48] You like that curveball. I threw it to a 2-0 curveball to one of them. I will say in this game, this is in the company awards. This was one of the game that I have a negative takeaway. Scores wise. Oh, people keep asking for my scores. So I did reply to one guy. Now, here's the new rule. The old system, game number one was a 9.5. Game number two was a 9.2. Game no. Yeah, because the Red Sox really dampered. And game number three was a 9.2 as well.

Speaker 3:
[33:36] Back to back 9.2s.

Speaker 2:
[33:37] And my old system shall not be questioned or asked about. Okay?

Speaker 3:
[33:41] Great.

Speaker 2:
[33:42] Now, the new system where you can get up to eight points. Did the offense, did they pitch well? Did they hit well? Was it a good third party game? Did it move the playoff needle? Okay. Six out of eight on game one. They pitched well. They hit well. It was a one out of two third party game. There was some good action. Raffaella's catch, Stan hitting that ball. Like, I think there was enough to make a casual fan enjoy themselves. So I gave that a one. It didn't move the playoff needle one because bullpen guys got out and the righties attacked lefty, which I liked. Game number two, five out of eight. Did they pitch well? Yes. Did they hit well? Yes. Good third party game. No.

Speaker 3:
[34:29] So, are these two different scales or this is one scale?

Speaker 2:
[34:32] It's two different scales.

Speaker 3:
[34:33] Okay. I was just checking.

Speaker 2:
[34:36] And then this game today, did they hit well? Not really. No. I don't think they really did. But they did and they did. I give them a one out of the two points. Did they pitch well? Absolutely. They pitched well in game three.

Speaker 3:
[34:50] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[34:50] Really well.

Speaker 3:
[34:52] Yeah, there is an error that gave us in their first run.

Speaker 2:
[34:54] Yeah. Good third party game? No. Playoff needle?

Speaker 3:
[34:58] No.

Speaker 2:
[34:59] So this is a four out of eight.

Speaker 3:
[35:02] I guess the only advertisement I'd give for third party game was that Cam did quote unquote talk before the game. So if you went in and you were like, well, I wonder if Cam Schlitler is going to pitch well against the Red Sox. He did that.

Speaker 2:
[35:14] Yeah. But that's a little like good trailer, bad movie.

Speaker 3:
[35:20] You know, Anaconda.

Speaker 2:
[35:24] No, the Jared Leto Joker video.

Speaker 3:
[35:30] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[35:30] Movie. What was that called? Suicide Squad.

Speaker 3:
[35:33] Yeah. Never saw it.

Speaker 2:
[35:35] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[35:37] If someone tells me a movie is bad, I'm not watching it. Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[35:43] You want to move on?

Speaker 3:
[35:45] Um, yeah, I think so, right?

Speaker 2:
[35:49] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[35:50] Because otherwise.

Speaker 2:
[35:52] Cam got attacked in the bullpen but persevered.

Speaker 3:
[35:56] Looked very peaceful.

Speaker 2:
[35:58] Not to him. You don't know what's going on in his head.

Speaker 3:
[36:00] Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2:
[36:01] Could have been hell.

Speaker 3:
[36:07] Good stuff.

Speaker 2:

As I read further on in that one, my eyes start to lose their powers, Beep. So by the third paragraph, I just can't see it.

Speaker 3:
[37:02] We saw it.

Speaker 2:
[37:03] Yeah, so I have done that twice now. I have to pivot over here.

Speaker 3:
[37:06] You're gonna be great.

Speaker 2:
[37:07] Thanks. You get to go first. Pride of the Yankees.

Speaker 3:
[37:11] Pride of the Yankees. Pride of the Yankees. Yeah, yeah, Pride of the Yankees.

Speaker 2:
[37:14] You prepped, you're prepped and you knew it?

Speaker 3:
[37:18] I've got a couple options. That was pretty good. He was pretty good.

Speaker 2:
[37:25] I'll let you combo it if you want.

Speaker 3:
[37:26] I'm not gonna combo it.

Speaker 2:
[37:27] I'll let you do a threesome.

Speaker 3:
[37:28] That's just a cop out. Goldschmidt with the batting gloves on the bench today. I'm going Max Fried. Okay. I'm going Max Fried. It was we were laughing. Well, Max Fried was coming off of his worst start of the season, correct?

Speaker 2:
[37:52] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[37:52] And we were laughing before that not so good start because Max Fried had another great start or Max Fried went eight innings. It was the Tampa Bump Fest, actually.

Speaker 2:
[38:02] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[38:03] Eight innings, three earned runs. There was a final run in that eighth inning. And we were laughing after that start because Max Fried had a 193 ERA. He had just pitched eight innings. And it was the third or fourth broadcast that they were like, Max Fried doesn't have his good stuff. And we're like, well, I don't know. He hasn't looked very bad pitching to the tune of a 193. He gets fived and fived by the Angels. Kelly, reference. He dominated the Sox. I know they didn't bring the most mustard to the barbecue or however you traditionally like to phrase it. But after that situation, the runners on second and third, nobody out, it was some of the nastiest pitching we've seen.

Speaker 2:
[38:43] Yeah. Because you want to know why?

Speaker 3:
[38:46] Why is that?

Speaker 2:
[38:46] Max Blake went Talladega Nights on. Wake up, idiot. You're not paralyzed.

Speaker 3:
[38:57] Potential award, maybe.

Speaker 2:
[38:59] I was going to have Max Fried slipped because he keeps walking. I'll read Max Fried's quote. The wind up is something I've always been really comfortable with. And I really like for whatever reason this year, I've walked a ton of guys in the wind up and I haven't walked anyone in the stretch. When you look at the numbers like that, I just said, you know what? You got to suck up your pride and just say whatever's working. You got to go and do. And he went on to say that Matt Blake said, it's not working. Quit it.

Speaker 3:
[39:30] Go from the stretch.

Speaker 2:
[39:33] I shouldn't have to say this to you. But kudos for Matt Blake.

Speaker 3:
[39:38] Girardi's best line of the series for me was he said, and again, it's very basic. I'm a basic cat in my core. Like pitchers always make their biggest pitches from the stretch. Yeah. Just makes sense. There's runners on second and third. The game's on the line. That's when you have to make your biggest pitches. I was like, wow, that's that's good, Joe Girardi. Joe Girardi's worst line of the series.

Speaker 2:
[40:02] You better not use my best.

Speaker 3:
[40:03] No, no, no. That was that was a good line. It was when Michael K said Peyton Tolley kind of looked like Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, and Joe Girardi said, I have no idea what that is.

Speaker 2:
[40:14] Yeah, but I don't expect him to.

Speaker 3:
[40:15] Yeah, Parks and Rec got big. Parks and Rec got big.

Speaker 2:
[40:20] We're no longer a monoculture, Jake.

Speaker 3:
[40:23] You know I know them, though. You know I know them.

Speaker 2:
[40:26] My favorite line was, strike, strike, strike, strike, strike, ball.

Speaker 3:
[40:29] I like he did that same call with the home run. Yeah, going going going and it's gone.

Speaker 2:
[40:35] Yeah. Good job by Max Fried. I also like the way he looked at McMahon during McMahon's Yes, I was ninth.

Speaker 3:
[40:44] That was great.

Speaker 2:
[40:45] It looked like like that. It was brother energy. Are they close? The energy I got from the way Max, maybe just brothers in battle. Like, dude, you're my guy. Like I'm the third base pitcher.

Speaker 3:
[40:59] And is it OK if I double check some check something?

Speaker 2:
[41:02] I'll keep going.

Speaker 3:
[41:03] OK.

Speaker 2:
[41:03] I'm the I'm the guy who induces groundballs the third. And you're my guy. You're my third baseman. So he looked at him with some brotherly love, like the way that Rudy's John Favreau looks at Rudy when he finally makes the sack.

Speaker 3:
[41:18] Couple of things here. What I looked up on my end.

Speaker 2:
[41:21] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[41:24] One, Max Fried is 32, Ryan McMahon, 31.

Speaker 2:
[41:28] Will they ever be the same age?

Speaker 3:
[41:30] They will not. Wait, let me double check. Is it okay if I double check?

Speaker 2:
[41:34] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[41:35] They will be.

Speaker 2:
[41:37] During the season?

Speaker 3:
[41:38] Max turned 32 in January. Ryan turns 32 in December.

Speaker 2:
[41:42] Don't call him Ryan.

Speaker 3:
[41:43] McMahon. They're both from California. McMahon's from Yorba Linda.

Speaker 2:
[41:50] Yorba Linda.

Speaker 3:
[41:50] And Max Fried is from Santa Monica. Now.

Speaker 2:
[41:53] Okay, they play in high school. They played in showcases together.

Speaker 3:
[41:57] In the My Cousin Vinny version of this speech, I just asked the sheriff to go check one more thing for me. I tried to look Ryan McMahon versus Max.

Speaker 2:
[42:05] Sheriff Folley.

Speaker 3:
[42:06] Yes. Thank you. I was looking for Ryan McMahon's stats versus Max Fried. I don't know. They're both formerly NL guys that I don't know. They have to have some experience against each other. But I didn't get to that stat.

Speaker 2:
[42:19] Well, I think they probably played youth ball.

Speaker 3:
[42:21] I was waiting for Sheriff Folley to bring me those stats.

Speaker 2:
[42:23] Yeah. Did you ask him?

Speaker 3:
[42:25] Yeah. Max Fried versus Ryan McMahon.

Speaker 2:
[42:28] So, yes, they have brotherly love.

Speaker 3:
[42:31] And I do think the other thing involved there is it goes back to my... I think I gave this speech during the WBC. Oh, when Bobby Witt made that crazy play behind Skeens, and Skeens was like actually dumbfounded.

Speaker 2:
[42:44] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[42:45] Like Skeens has literally never seen someone make that play in his life.

Speaker 2:
[42:49] Behind him.

Speaker 3:
[42:50] Behind him.

Speaker 2:
[42:50] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[42:50] Like from that viewpoint.

Speaker 2:
[42:52] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[42:52] And I don't know if Fried's seen that before, because otherwise how do you get that reaction?

Speaker 2:
[42:55] What play did you like better, first or second?

Speaker 3:
[42:59] Interesting. I like the first. I was with Gerardi on that.

Speaker 2:
[43:01] I was with Gerardi on that.

Speaker 3:
[43:02] I was with Gerardi on that.

Speaker 2:
[43:03] I don't know how he threw that ball to first base.

Speaker 3:
[43:07] Yeah, he made it look very easy, which is that's what puts it over the top.

Speaker 2:
[43:11] Sometimes when like Manny or Aernardo do that, they pause and they like, I don't know, it has like, it just seems like, yeah, they can do that. And it's very impressive. Like when McMahon does it, it's like Gumby threw a ball. Like it looks like a Jello arm to me.

Speaker 3:
[43:28] Yeah, he goes Gumby mode.

Speaker 4:
[43:30] He does.

Speaker 2:
[43:31] Limber?

Speaker 3:
[43:33] He's very limber.

Speaker 2:
[43:35] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[43:39] Who's your prime?

Speaker 4:
[43:43] Ah. Don't sigh like that.

Speaker 3:
[43:47] That's crazy. That's crazy.

Speaker 2:
[43:51] The clearest documented connection between the two in high school came at the inaugural USA Baseball National High School Invitational, NHSI, in March 2012 on Cary, North Carolina. Mater D. McMahon's team faced Harvard Westlake Fried's team in the championship game. Oh. Wow. So that's a history.

Speaker 3:
[44:06] Looks like he's 0 for 7 with two walks off of Fried. Which.

Speaker 2:
[44:10] Respect.

Speaker 3:
[44:11] Checks out.

Speaker 2:
[44:13] The others probably just bunts back to Max. Anyway, I am going to give my pride of the Yankees.

Speaker 3:
[44:18] Great.

Speaker 2:
[44:19] To Luis Gil.

Speaker 3:
[44:20] Really?

Speaker 2:
[44:21] Yep. He was the potential loss in the series. And you and I talked about this, like it being a trap series. And I think after the episode ended last week or in the office this week, we were like, well, you know, if they do get heel on game one, well, then. And not only did they not get heel in game one, we didn't really worry at all. Instead, you made it the easiest thing in the world. Five pitch, six inning.

Speaker 3:
[44:49] Four pitch, right?

Speaker 2:
[44:50] I thought it was four, too, but I checked and it was five. But I remember it being four. They must have missed the first pitch. That's not on us. Yeah, it's not on us.

Speaker 3:
[44:58] They probably didn't broadcast it.

Speaker 2:
[44:59] Yeah. But yeah, I mean, results matter. He started the series with a shutout. We can talk about, like, all of a sudden, the analytics are bizarre. Not even analytics. The eye test wasn't good. He threw 30 or he threw 20 strikes and 50 balls or 30, 30 strikes and 50 balls, 30 in the zone, 50 out of the zone. They swung it a lot out of the zone. They only swung and missed four times. So even watching it, you're like, is this or what is this? They gave him some soft outs. I don't even remember feeling like he had to buckle down. Anyway, that's what they're doing. If you are now just a ground ball pitcher, Gil, wow, because your whole value was in swing and miss earlier. But that was cool.

Speaker 3:
[45:53] Okay, Luis Gil, we've been in the weird spot with it. You're right. The eye test isn't necessarily eye testing. This was great.

Speaker 2:
[46:00] It was great. It's the best way to, our worst pitcher, just shut your asses down. Best way to start for a game set.

Speaker 3:
[46:09] I would say the thing that is interesting about Gil, I mentioned this with last year, like he had a kind of slower start, and then he kept having these starts where he was being effective ish. And we were kind of there.

Speaker 2:
[46:23] We're very effective right now.

Speaker 3:
[46:25] The last last start was great. The first two, not so much. But again, he's building up and he's. He didn't really have a season last year, came back in August. OK, whatever. He gets built up this spring. There was still some weird stuff. The Velo is not where it was when he was dominant rookie of the year, Luis Gil. What you could put in an optimistic bucket is it is a long season and guys develop or especially coming off injury if it's more confidence or if your health actually gets better. I saw sliders I liked in this game. Like he ripped a couple sliders that I was like, OK, that's a nice pitch. And his off speed stuff is actually grading out well. The only quote unquote advanced metric that is grading out well for Luis Gil, his change up and his slider aren't getting hit so far this year. Fastball is which also passes the eye test. So I'll be interested. His sinker's been kind of good this year in limited action. Does he start throwing that a little more than the four seam? I don't know. He was great for a night.

Speaker 2:
[47:29] Awesome. Made me proud.

Speaker 3:
[47:33] Pride of the Yankees.

Speaker 2:
[47:34] Yeah. I mean, he opened the series. That's a great way to open the series.

Speaker 3:
[47:39] Great way to open the series.

Speaker 2:
[47:42] Could have been a two-guy game too. They really pulled him early. But he is building up still and all that.

Speaker 3:
[47:47] And we didn't know how broken the Red Sox were yet that it makes sense what happened.

Speaker 2:
[47:51] It's true. Okay, next up.

Speaker 1:
[47:56] You Yankee mother fucker.

Speaker 2:
[48:01] There was one point. Judge hits, I think it was after Judge hit that double. And Brad, they showed Brad in the dugout, and Boon was chewing his ear.

Speaker 3:
[48:15] Or was it the belly?

Speaker 2:
[48:17] Was it when Belly didn't score?

Speaker 3:
[48:19] I thought it was after the Belly Pinch hit.

Speaker 2:
[48:22] Maybe.

Speaker 3:
[48:22] It was around that era.

Speaker 2:
[48:24] Yeah. And he was probably telling him what he wanted to do next and just talking loudly because it's in the stadium. But I think he was chewing his ass out.

Speaker 3:
[48:33] You never know, right?

Speaker 2:
[48:34] NBD style. So I'm going, Brad, but I am doing a parenthesis, parenthesis.

Speaker 3:
[48:42] I thought you were going to do a parenthesis.

Speaker 2:
[48:45] To Wellesley. And we are going to talk about it because they swept.

Speaker 3:
[48:48] I have to talk about it.

Speaker 2:
[48:48] My God, you're not being fun to watch at all in any part of the game.

Speaker 3:
[48:54] He had the he had the sack fly situation and he didn't sack fly.

Speaker 2:
[48:58] Is is ABS called? It was it's O2. Who cares if it's fucking ball one in the counts one, two.

Speaker 3:
[49:05] Right.

Speaker 2:
[49:06] That's awful challenge.

Speaker 3:
[49:09] Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if they have something for like getting getting the out. I don't know. Yeah. Wells Wells feels in the bad place right now. I still want to scooch him up a little bit.

Speaker 2:
[49:19] Yeah. OK. Well, it's in parentheses.

Speaker 3:
[49:20] So it's in parentheses.

Speaker 2:
[49:21] Who's your MF?

Speaker 3:
[49:22] I'm going, Brad, Brad Osmas. I feel like he was getting close to Ben Rice this series and Ben Rice has his first bad series. So I'm just I'm watching out for that.

Speaker 2:
[49:33] OK.

Speaker 3:
[49:35] Not talking about it, I'm watching out for that. OK. Great. Great.

[50:50] Fried had an RBI double for Harvard-Westlake in the third inning. McMahon answered with a solo homerun for Mater Day in the fourth inning.

Speaker 3:
[50:58] Who do you get, Gialito or Flaherty?

Speaker 2:
[51:02] Harvard-Westlake ultimately won the title 3-2.

Speaker 3:
[51:06] That's good.

Speaker 2:
[51:08] Damn.

Speaker 3:
[51:09] Damn it. So they go back.

Speaker 2:
[51:13] They played in the championship game together.

Speaker 3:
[51:16] That's good.

Speaker 2:
[51:17] Yeah. Alright. Regular old awards, Jake goes first.

Speaker 3:
[51:25] I'm gonna give the Heating Up award.

Speaker 2:
[51:28] Heating up. Getting hot. Jazz Chisholm.

Speaker 3:
[51:32] Because it's a double entendre, Jim.

Speaker 2:
[51:34] Yep. Lay up.

Speaker 3:
[51:36] In game one, Jazz Chisholm came out in closer to an outfit, to a bank robbery heist than a baseball playing outfit. Because he was too cold. And it was cold out. I admit that.

Speaker 2:
[51:49] Yeah, they were too cold.

Speaker 3:
[51:50] Tonight, you and I first groundballed a second. We had not been introduced to Jazz Chisholm in the batter's box yet on the Yes Broadcast. Groundballed a second, we both go, Oh my God, Jazz was in a normal outfit.

Speaker 2:
[52:04] Yeah, I could see his skin.

Speaker 3:
[52:05] He looked like he was ready to play baseball. Jazz gets his first home run of the year heating up.

Speaker 2:
[52:11] We said that, that's the big part. We saw him not be cold. And we said, Oh my God, Jazz is gonna homer. You said Jazz is gonna homer.

Speaker 3:
[52:17] He's warm. And he homered.

Speaker 2:
[52:18] And he hit an absolute moonshot.

Speaker 3:
[52:20] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[52:21] Bombs away.

Speaker 3:
[52:22] How many times do you see in baseball?

Speaker 2:
[52:26] The judge has already seen it twice.

Speaker 3:
[52:30] Very happy he got to see two pesky pole shots. Finished off his bucket list. He wanted to see a pesky pole shot. He wanted to see a Rolling Stone concert. He saw the Stones four years ago.

Speaker 2:
[52:39] Check and check.

Speaker 3:
[52:40] I'm good.

Speaker 2:
[52:41] I haven't checked anything off my bucket list.

Speaker 3:
[52:44] Hopefully Jazz gets hot. The memes and stuff were getting kind of tough with Jazz because, you know, we love the way Jazz talks because baseball players need to talk more. It's actually fun. So him saying he's going to go 50-50. A lot of people that don't like Jazz opposing. What's that?

Speaker 2:
[53:02] I can't. I got to like stop this.

Speaker 3:
[53:05] What?

Speaker 2:
[53:06] CC used to say, I want to win 20 games.

Speaker 3:
[53:09] Right.

Speaker 2:
[53:09] Like, or no, he would say all of them say, see, like, how many? How do you want to do this year? I want to win all of my starts.

Speaker 3:
[53:15] Right.

Speaker 2:
[53:16] And it's the same vein.

Speaker 3:
[53:18] Yes.

Speaker 2:
[53:20] So but people are like really like acting like he like written wrote wrote a wrote a statement and signed it and send it to the governor.

Speaker 3:
[53:28] Also, people don't talk back to CC, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, people like to talk. So, you know, the the stat that's been going around lately is jazz is starting to look better, is that his batting average is better than it came out of April last year. Even Kaster in the booth was like, I don't remember that at all. Just a reminder how crazy a baseball season is because he did have seven home runs. So, yeah, hopefully jazz, you know, if jazz can round out his April and the stat line looks a little less funky and he starts playing good baseball, would be a good reminder that, you know, as we, as we've seen the Ben Rice button click this year the way that we hope to, a big part of that being the Yankees ecosystem is then wherever jazz and Trent are in the lineup, the Yankees feel completely different as a team. Yeah, but jazz had been lumped with the wrong crew.

Speaker 2:
[54:18] Did he take that bat with the lollipop in his mouth?

Speaker 3:
[54:22] Jazz?

Speaker 2:
[54:23] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[54:25] I don't think so.

Speaker 2:
[54:26] Did you guys see that?

Speaker 3:
[54:28] There might have been a dugout cut. I think the internet would have more of that. I feel like I'd kind of know what you're talking about, while also not at the same time, if that helps.

Speaker 2:
[54:41] I know.

Speaker 3:
[54:42] Doesn't seem like it did.

Speaker 2:
[54:43] How do you spell lollipop?

Speaker 3:
[54:47] Good question. I mean, one L, no two Ls?

Speaker 2:
[54:50] Is it a Y or an I in the middle?

Speaker 3:
[54:52] I think I. Right. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2:
[54:57] It's three Ls total.

Speaker 3:
[55:00] Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly lolly lolly lolly pop.

Speaker 2:
[55:06] Every day sees me, he brings me joy. Someone tweeted this at me, a giant picture. Yes. OK, thank you. There's a ton of tweets about it. Hitting, hitting. I can't find the picture, but I'm seeing a lot of people tweet it. Lollipop jazz. Oh, my God, Twitter search is the fucking worst.

Speaker 3:
[55:26] And when did that happen? OK, I guess I used to be able to find like I can't even my search habits are so bad that I can't I can't search for anything on Twitter anymore.

Speaker 2:
[55:40] OK, here's the Instagram jazz Chisholm had a lollipop in his mouth when he came to bat versus the Red Sox. It looks like it is a lollipop. Maybe it's like a really warm lollipop. Like a heated lollipop, a heated lollipop.

Speaker 3:
[55:55] Do we see lolly?

Speaker 2:
[55:56] Because could that just be toothpick could be a cigarette for all I know? A Charleston Slim. Is that a cigarette?

Speaker 3:
[56:06] I don't think so. Charleston Slim? It just feels like...

Speaker 2:
[56:11] Those are cabinets.

Speaker 3:
[56:12] It feels like something cool. They would reference a cigarette in like a really old movie.

Speaker 2:
[56:18] Oh, Charleston Slim is the cigarette holder. So I was close. Okay, goodbye.

Speaker 3:
[56:29] Good pick.

Speaker 2:
[56:30] Thank you. Jazz deserved it. Virginia Slim. I just had...

Speaker 3:
[56:34] That's yeah.

Speaker 2:
[56:35] Yeah, I had my states or cities locations mixed up.

Speaker 3:
[56:40] And your award?

Speaker 2:
[56:41] My award is going to go to the... I don't want to give this away too much. No, no, no, that's not the name.

Speaker 3:
[57:00] I mean, I gave you a layup, you know?

Speaker 2:
[57:03] You gave me a layup?

Speaker 3:
[57:04] I said heating up about...

Speaker 2:
[57:06] I was going to give you a layup.

Speaker 3:
[57:07] The guy who's been cold all year.

Speaker 2:
[57:12] I'm just blanking on the song right now.

Speaker 3:
[57:15] What's with these homies dissin my girl? That's Weezer.

Speaker 2:
[57:22] Jim Class Heroes.

Speaker 3:
[57:23] Oh, yeah. So is it a bad hint, or a bad song, or the wrong band? This is where I'm held up.

Speaker 2:
[57:37] That Man Is A Hero Award!

Speaker 3:
[57:40] You're panicking.

Speaker 1:
[57:40] I panicked.

Speaker 3:
[57:44] That man is a hero!

Speaker 2:
[57:46] I am having a brain fart, and I panicked, and I'm giving, I know who's getting it.

Speaker 3:
[57:51] I mean, I kind of want...

Speaker 2:
[57:52] I know what I want the award to be.

Speaker 3:
[57:53] We'll rename it after.

Speaker 2:
[57:55] We'll rename it after.

Speaker 3:
[57:57] I mean, that's tough for me.

Speaker 2:
[57:59] It is.

Speaker 3:
[57:59] Do I get to guess after you give the award?

Speaker 2:
[58:01] Guess now.

Speaker 3:
[58:03] I mean, you're going to, I, if this is right, it's beautiful, but it should be wrong. I'm going Brent Headrick.

Speaker 2:
[58:09] Yes, correct.

Speaker 3:
[58:09] Okay.

Speaker 2:
[58:11] What's the song that you would sing? And I would say, he's the first half hero.

Speaker 4:
[58:18] Oh, that's like an old song.

Speaker 2:
[58:20] Yeah, is it?

Speaker 3:
[58:21] That's Jukebox Hero.

Speaker 2:
[58:22] Jukebox Hero, Pinball Wizard.

Speaker 3:
[58:25] I think those are two different songs.

Speaker 2:
[58:26] That's where my brain is getting so fried right now. I can't figure it out. I wanted to do this.

Speaker 3:
[58:33] I think Jukebox Hero is one song. Pinball Wizard is another classic rock song.

Speaker 2:
[58:38] Yeah, well, Jukebox Hero is what I wanted to name it.

Speaker 3:
[58:41] By Foreigner.

Speaker 2:
[58:42] By who?

Speaker 3:
[58:43] Ad, Foreigner.

Speaker 2:
[58:46] I should have known all of that.

Speaker 3:
[58:47] Pinball Wizards by the Hue. The Hue.

Speaker 2:
[58:49] The Hue. And I said Rush, idiot.

Speaker 3:
[58:51] It's OK. How many friends do I really got?

Speaker 2:
[58:56] That's the who. So I wanted to give it the Jukebox Hero Award because I've been singing first half hero about Headrick in that manner because Headrick has appeared in more games than Grichick. They might have tied today. Headrick has appeared in more games than Ascara. Headrick has appeared in more games than Goldschmidt. Yes. That's insane.

Speaker 3:
[59:23] Him and Rosario coming in to today, Headrick 15, Rosario 17, and Rosario has been like our breakout third baseman leadoff hitter.

Speaker 2:
[59:34] Headrick has pitched, he's on pace for 100 games. There's no way this doesn't hinder his second half, but so far he's been a first half hero.

Speaker 3:
[59:45] Luis Gil has three games.

Speaker 2:
[59:48] How many does Headrick have?

Speaker 3:
[59:49] 15. I did the math at home, it got really scary for a second because fractions, if you haven't been in them for a little bit, it's like, okay, if you divide, coming down. Just use the calculator. I did. I'm not doing it raw in my head. Okay. He was on pace for 101 games as of yesterday. That comes down after not pitching today.

Speaker 2:
[60:14] But be careful about his arm. Why did he come into the game too?

Speaker 3:
[60:20] Dude, I don't really know. There's a form.

Speaker 2:
[60:25] I think it was something like Blackburn is ready to go there.

Speaker 3:
[60:30] Yeah. I mean, Headrick has been good. And that's part of the reason he's been pitching. I genuinely think it was something like the Yankees came into the series and they were like, wait, the Red Sox can't hit lefties at all. Oh, I think that's why they went to them because it's freed to Headrick. So they have their lefty lineup in.

Speaker 2:
[60:50] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[60:50] So it's. Yeah, I think it's literally like we just want to keep a lefty in. Tim Hill doesn't count there. Neither does Yarbrough.

Speaker 2:
[60:59] Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4:
[61:02] I guess it was two innings. It would have been Yarby, maybe.

Speaker 2:
[61:05] Maybe the Yankees know he's a first half hero, so they get to hide all the other guys for a little longer that they will see later on.

Speaker 3:
[61:13] Yeah, I mean, I just I hope they either get to rest him or you hate to be rude, but like it's an unsustainable pace. So you either need an IELTS stint or something.

Speaker 2:
[61:23] Oh, they're building up for the Phantom IELTS stint. That's incriminatory, Jake.

Speaker 3:
[61:27] I wouldn't talk like I want to say Phantom. I think arm fatigue.

Speaker 2:
[61:31] Oh, my God. The cleaning is going to get her. The cleaning lady is washing my you at my remote keyboard out there. I thought there was ghosts in the room.

Speaker 4:
[61:39] You get typed.

Speaker 2:
[61:40] My computer just started typing all this stuff.

Speaker 3:
[61:43] That's funny.

Speaker 2:
[61:43] The screen.

Speaker 3:
[61:46] That's good. Great stuff.

Speaker 2:
[61:48] Thank you.

Speaker 3:
[61:49] It is there some love.

Speaker 2:
[61:50] He does. And that's why I gave him the jukebox hero award.

Speaker 3:
[61:53] Very good. We got there. I know who it was.

Speaker 2:
[61:55] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[61:56] Um, I'm going to go.

Speaker 2:
[62:02] I like this award.

Speaker 3:
[62:05] No, no, no. Oh, I'm giving out the low risk.

Speaker 2:
[62:12] The low risk, high reward award, Randall Gritchick.

Speaker 3:
[62:16] No, you're close. Oh, it's going to Ryan McMahon. I know we've already talked about him, but I want to talk about him more because my guy did make two standout defensive plays. We talked about them. Him becoming this bench weapon that he's been for a little bit, although he should get some starts running up. It's going to be very interesting. The Yankees have, I think, like eight right handed pitchers coming up. So the McMahon Rosario usage is going to be something to watch again. But something that's very funny to me, Ryan McMahon, the last two games or excuse me, the last three games has had one at bat. He's won for three. But the mental psyche of baseball, and I obviously don't have the same mental psyche as Ryan McMahon. But if you only get one at bat a game, the odds are against you. The odds are against every hitter who's ever played this game. That Ryan McMahon, all right, I get one at bat. I'm supposed to get out.

Speaker 2:
[63:17] There's no pressure in that at bat.

Speaker 3:
[63:19] Low risk, high reward.

Speaker 2:
[63:21] Yep, he's he's now in his last 11 games. His batting average is way higher than his career batting average. His batting average in his last 11 games is 250.

Speaker 3:
[63:39] Keep going.

Speaker 4:
[63:40] What's his career?

Speaker 2:
[63:42] 237, I think.

Speaker 4:
[63:43] Something like that.

Speaker 2:
[63:45] So in his last 23 plate appearances, he is perfectly below average offensively, which is what he is. And if he makes two plays like that in late innings, boom.

Speaker 3:
[64:00] They were plus plays. We hadn't seen a plus play this season.

Speaker 2:
[64:03] Those were two plus plus plays.

Speaker 3:
[64:06] Oh, they said they were going to follow up because Gerardi was getting mad at the Raffaella catch in game one. Yeah, he was getting mad that that didn't count as a defensive run saved, that he was said, I'm going to check with I'm going to check with McMahon tomorrow because he should have two of them. He went into Joe's Steinbrenner impression, which was really weird of Gerardi to do.

Speaker 2:
[64:24] The Raffaella catch was a good catch.

Speaker 3:
[64:25] Was a good catch.

Speaker 2:
[64:29] Catch probability like 95. But he stylized it. It's like that Benny catch. Is that what all Boston outfielders are doing now?

Speaker 3:
[64:43] Talking about Ben and Tendi?

Speaker 2:
[64:44] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[64:45] I'm saying that's what all Boston outfielders are doing now?

Speaker 2:
[64:47] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[64:48] When do you think he played his last game for the Red Sox?

Speaker 2:
[64:50] Just jumping like this. The catch I'm talking about is 2018.

Speaker 3:
[65:00] That's how it starts, man. This is how it starts.

Speaker 2:
[65:02] I like that he came down the point and has a gold glove.

Speaker 3:
[65:04] That's how it starts.

Speaker 2:
[65:05] What?

Speaker 3:
[65:07] We start referencing shit like that, and then it's just... Then it's old, old.

Speaker 2:
[65:13] I referenced Jukebox here earlier.

Speaker 3:
[65:15] I know. And I do some classic rock songs, but you start, you start talking about Ben and Tendi being a part of this Red Sox team.

Speaker 2:
[65:22] I didn't talk about him being a part of this Red Sox team.

Speaker 3:
[65:25] I'd have to check the tape, it kind of sounded that way. No, I said, this is what Red Sox outfielders are doing now.

Speaker 2:
[65:31] Yeah. Benny hasn't played there in, Last decade is now.

Speaker 3:
[65:36] Wow. That's heavy.

Speaker 2:
[65:38] Thank you.

Speaker 3:
[65:40] It's a final award, Buck.

Speaker 2:
[65:42] I'm gonna give out the. Sound Asleep Award.

Speaker 3:
[65:51] I'm sound asleep. Trent Krishnam.

Speaker 2:
[65:54] No, wrong.

Speaker 4:
[65:55] Whoa.

Speaker 2:
[65:56] Wow, because there's nasty.

Speaker 4:
[65:59] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[65:59] There's someone here on this team who has no fear. Of monsters and sleeps soundly every night. And that's Giancarlo Stanton, OK, because he kills the green monster. If he doesn't hit it over it, he puts a dent in it. We should put a montage together of all the times he's just absolutely smoked ball right off the monster.

Speaker 3:
[66:24] I watch it.

Speaker 2:
[66:25] I'd watch it, especially if the cut point was right after the boom. And then it went to the next step at right away. Because if you let that play out in the montage, I'd I'd stop watching. So it would be like he hits it. Boom, boom, like that. That's a rhythm. That's the rhythm of editing everyone at home that wants to make that for me. Stan was going through a tough spell. You mentioned earlier it was 0 for 17 verse lefties. It's a storyline like does this matter moving forward for me? Like, yes. You know how Cole at Fenway is a thing that he's been dodging for two years now via injury, but we still haven't seen him pitch well at Fenway. It's still a thing when it happens again. Well, there's some things you want to still be things because they're good. There's some things you want to not be a thing anymore. Stanton being as comfortable as ever at Fenway is something I want to continue. It's just nice to check that off, be like, yep, still good.

Speaker 3:
[67:24] Yeah, and I'm trying to last year. Stan was just amazing all year. The 2024 season, he was bad versus left or Stantonian levels of bad. He was 238, 300, a 705 OPS versus lefties in 2024. So, you know, he in theory and his whole career before that, he's been great against lefties. It's just one of those things you want to, you don't want to be a part of this season.

Speaker 2:
[67:52] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[67:53] No, thank you. I want our stats to be, you know, since Stanton went 0 for 17 against lefties, he's been doing the 1-9-0, yeah, I don't know. Who's the name of that Yankee today?

Speaker 2:
[68:06] Jack, Jackie Jensen, 1958 American League MVP, 333 batting average, 37 home runs.

Speaker 3:
[68:13] Played in the Rose Bowl, the All-Star game.

Speaker 2:
[68:16] Yep, lost his parents at a young age.

Speaker 3:
[68:18] Retired from baseball because he didn't like flying, real.

Speaker 2:
[68:21] Real.

Speaker 3:
[68:22] That's kind of cool.

Speaker 2:
[68:23] That is cool. I mean, he was also probably old and on his way out, but he was like, I don't want to get on no planes anymore.

Speaker 3:
[68:32] Probably.

Speaker 2:
[68:33] I did drop one factor in the middle of that that was unverified.

Speaker 3:
[68:38] Comment below which one you think it was.

Speaker 2:
[68:40] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[68:41] Goofy. Um, Trent Grisham, your dad want to give him an MF for this series.

Speaker 2:
[68:48] He did. I. That's fine. He said. He said, I give him my he said, I think he said he gave his two. I don't know how he phrased it, but he wanted to give Trent MF her because he took two strikes looking what the Yankees took.

Speaker 3:
[69:03] Tough judge.

Speaker 2:
[69:03] Thirty five pitches looking in game three.

Speaker 3:
[69:09] It's kind of rubbing it in the Red Sox face.

Speaker 2:
[69:12] I still like game three was like, OK, like if against good pitchers, like we can't do this as an approach. Took so many pitches. I talked to Boone about that last time we talked about a Z swing was down. Their zone swing is down. They're not swinging at pitches in the zone. They were second lowest in MLB and. They're still doing it. Pretty cool that I can say Z swing because I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, but I just dumb it down for you regular folk at home. Inside, I'm Foolish Bailey. Know all the terms.

Speaker 3:
[69:49] We should clean up Rosario got love, but maybe not enough love.

Speaker 2:
[69:53] It's just he's just a regular guy now. You gave the love to McMahon, so that's on you.

Speaker 3:
[69:58] It's on me a little bit. I thought about pairing them up, but.

Speaker 2:
[70:03] You didn't have the last word of the day, so that's not wouldn't have been a legal move by you.

Speaker 3:
[70:07] Judge walked this series.

Speaker 2:
[70:09] Yeah, a 571 on base percentage. I did like that.

Speaker 3:
[70:13] Still some weird strikeouts that don't feel judge in, but.

Speaker 2:
[70:16] Oh, he finally tapped. He got it wrong. But what did it lead to? A three run rally, right? So every time judges tapped, it's led to instant runs in the inning.

Speaker 3:
[70:27] Analytics.

Speaker 2:
[70:31] Thank God Belly came through, because otherwise I'd be talking about that Wells at bat a lot.

Speaker 3:
[70:36] Yeah.

Speaker 2:
[70:37] Yeah. Gritchick's goatee is cool. Caballero. Really, really enjoying watching him play. I think he does think he does the most between the numbers I've seen a player do in a long, long time.

Speaker 3:
[70:52] I like that. Because they don't play between numbers.

Speaker 2:
[70:57] No.

Speaker 3:
[70:58] But I like I like it in a way they do is how you could spin that. You know what I'm saying? Oh, the whole game's numbers.

Speaker 2:
[71:04] Yeah. That's something players should say to tell that the like Buck would say that, you know, there's a lot of game in between those numbers. Shall I email out to him? Say, please pass this to your husband. Tell him it's maybe a phrase he can say.

Speaker 3:
[71:19] You should. Remember, we got the first email we got from a very cool person. You were like, wow, that was a sweet email.

Speaker 2:
[71:28] Yes.

Speaker 3:
[71:30] If you do that to Buck, I think that would be a perfect start to it. Because you're right, his wife's going to read the email.

Speaker 2:
[71:35] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[71:36] And just be like, I'm such a fan of the way you talk about the game. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2:
[71:41] Should I use my baseball pretzels email? I mean, his kids are our age, right?

Speaker 3:
[71:57] Probably, dude.

Speaker 2:
[71:58] William?

Speaker 3:
[72:00] Tim Hill with a clean inning, of course.

Speaker 2:
[72:04] Three ground balls.

Speaker 3:
[72:05] Red Sox, man.

Speaker 2:
[72:07] Right when Boone was having to make some decisions of like, okay, do I need to get someone up, the Red Sox gave him a four-pitch inning and said, Boone, don't get anyone up. We're not here to fight.

Speaker 3:
[72:18] We were wondering if Schlittler was gonna come out after that long rally inning because he sat for a while and he was near a season-high pitch count. He comes up, he gives up a lead-off hit, and you're like, okay, I've seen a lot of games at Fenway before inning was over. Hashtag sad.

Speaker 2:
[72:37] Hashtag sad. Okay. I think I won the K-Race.

Speaker 2:
[74:40] Warren Weathers and Heel.

[74:41] The good news for you.

[74:43] I get to pick first.

Speaker 3:
[74:44] You have the second pick. Got him. I'm taking Will Warren. I ride with Will Warren all the time. Fool. It's distasteful. It's distasteful.

Speaker 2:
[75:03] David Weathers just had a child.

Speaker 3:
[75:06] Is he David Weathers? Ryan David Weathers? Ryan David Weathers.

Speaker 2:
[75:09] His dad wanted him to go by David. I know. I'm bringing this episode home.

Speaker 3:
[75:13] You know I know.

Speaker 2:
[75:16] He just had a child. Dad's strength. 12 strikeouts.

Speaker 3:
[75:22] I could see it. A lot of righties.

Speaker 2:
[75:24] It's going to be hot in Houston.

Speaker 3:
[75:28] Is it?

Speaker 4:
[75:30] Jake. They're at least going to be in time.

Speaker 2:
[75:32] It's Houston. They invented the air conditioning.

Speaker 3:
[75:35] Sure did. Let's see. 82, 86, 87.

Speaker 2:
[75:40] Yeah, from where he's been, that's steaming. So that ball's going to be zipping. Taking Weathers.

Speaker 3:
[75:50] Good pick.

Speaker 2:
[75:50] Would take him if I had first pick.

Speaker 3:
[75:51] He'll.

Speaker 4:
[75:53] I think I'm taking Louis Seals.

Speaker 3:
[75:55] Noble King. I'm also going to give him Tim Hill.

Speaker 4:
[76:03] What's that?

Speaker 2:
[76:05] Can you give him a head trick? Everyday head.

Speaker 3:
[76:08] Exhausted. Easy.

Speaker 2:
[76:10] Everyday, Eddie, everyday, Eddie. Baseball nicknames, Jake.

Speaker 3:
