• 0:00
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Three O Take, where we talk
• 0:04
  all things Major League Baseball.
• 0:06
  Here's. Kyle.
• 0:08
  Corwin and Nate Reyes, it all starts right now.
• 0:14
  Who welcome back to the three O take presented by SeatGeek.
• 0:19
  This is episode 482. I'll be your host Kyle Corden.
• 0:21
  I'm here with my Co host Nate Reyes.
• 0:27
  Nate. Yep, still here.
• 0:34
  It's commendable. It's commendable the fact that
• 0:37
  you are showing up, the fact that you are showing up despite
• 0:46
  what we've had to witness the last few nights.
• 0:53
  It's honest. It's honestly just embarrassing.
• 0:55
  Like I if, if you want like full on, full truth, honesty, I'm I'm
• 1:06
  going to root for them every game for my entire life.
• 1:10
  I'm always going to cheer for them.
• 1:13
  But like, it's I knew that this side of this Yankee team was was
• 1:25
  present. I knew that this was in them.
• 1:30
  And it's like it's just happening at like the worst part
• 1:35
  of the season and it's embarrassing.
• 1:41
  Like I'm I'm literally embarrassed.
• 1:44
  I I'll be honest with you. It's, it's really like tip of
• 1:52
  the cap to the Dodgers for what they've been able to do.
• 1:54
  But I, I, it's so hard for me to even acknowledge like what
• 1:59
  they've been able to do well because it's so over.
• 2:02
  It's been so overshadowed by how poorly the Yankees have played.
• 2:10
  Yeah. And I'm not going to sit there
• 2:12
  and say that the Dodgers are not winning this series.
• 2:16
  Yeah, it's. A heck of a lot easier to sit
• 2:19
  here and say, well, the Yankees are losing this series.
• 2:22
  Yeah, it's just lifeless, dude. Like it's, I don't, I don't
• 2:32
  know, man, Like it. I feel like, I feel like I'm
• 2:40
  going to wake up in a week and Soto is going to be a met and
• 2:43
  it's just going to be like that, that I feel.
• 2:51
  Dude, I just, I don't know if the like there's a window here,
• 2:55
  you know what I mean? Like I don't know if a 33 year
• 2:57
  old Judge, a 34 year old Stanton, like I, I don't know
• 3:04
  what this is. I don't know if this is like the
• 3:07
  start of some. I don't, I don't think it is.
• 3:11
  I feel like they're lucky to be here.
• 3:15
  I feel like it was laid out for them to get to the World Series.
• 3:20
  And it's like, yeah, we can talk about how dominant the Dodgers
• 3:25
  are and like, we got their bee bullpen tonight and Crochet is
• 3:32
  the one closing it down. Kopec.
• 3:36
  Crochet Kopec. Yeah, I'm sorry, but like, you
• 3:39
  get what I'm saying. Like you're not, you're not even
• 3:41
  getting, like, you aren't even getting like the best of them.
• 3:48
  Well, Tani hasn't really done anything this series.
• 3:52
  Like you're, you're they're just really, really good.
• 3:58
  I think they're better than the Yankees.
• 4:01
  Obviously, it's a lot worse if the Yankees aren't doing
• 4:07
  anything. I mean, be, be real with me
• 4:12
  here. I I know you've been down and
• 4:16
  out on this team for the last few nights, but you had to at
• 4:20
  least you had to expect that they were going to at least do
• 4:23
  something at home. I did.
• 4:27
  I mean, some I'm not even count and we'll get to it obviously,
• 4:31
  but I'm not even counting that Verdugo home run.
• 4:33
  I mean, it was a four run game, but that's about as much of A
• 4:36
  garbage time home run as you can possibly have in that situation.
• 4:41
  So I'm not even, but it may as well have been a shutout.
• 4:43
  That was that was essentially a shutout what we just witnessed.
• 4:46
  And for them to come. I mean, we we've talked about it
• 4:53
  and he seems to have figured it out these last few starts, But I
• 4:56
  I just felt like there was an opportunity there to pounce on
• 4:59
  Walker Buehler at home and he goes 5 scoreless.
• 5:10
  Like it makes sense on paper. This is what I'm saying is that
• 5:12
  like I, this team does this, they've done this throughout the
• 5:22
  year. And I, I don't mean any
• 5:27
  disrespect to the Royals in the Guardians, but that that's not
• 5:34
  what that's, that's not the true test to like figure yourself
• 5:41
  out. I felt like they stumbled to the
• 5:45
  finish line, but the Orioles just stumbled more.
• 5:51
  So they won the division. I felt like they had a couple a
• 5:57
  couple good moments in the DS and in the CS, but in reality,
• 6:05
  like, yeah, they're better than those teams.
• 6:10
  And then you get to this moment where you're like, you expected
• 6:17
  that level of an opponent out of the Dodgers, and this is one of
• 6:22
  the greatest teams ever put together.
• 6:25
  I genuinely think this is one of the greatest rosters baseball
• 6:31
  has ever seen. And they're not doing anything.
• 6:37
  No one's doing anything. Boone just rolls out the same
• 6:43
  lineup. He said, he said, I mean,
• 6:46
  everybody was calling for him to make just a slight change after
• 6:51
  Game 2. Because you know, that's, that's
• 6:54
  ultimately when it, when you, when you drop the 1st 2, that's
• 6:57
  ultimately your chance to do anything.
• 6:59
  Because if you drop game three, history tells you it's over.
• 7:03
  So Boone make a change, everybody, all, all, all ages,
• 7:10
  all rooting interests. They were saying, hey, we're
• 7:13
  watching this series. Whether we not we have a dog in
• 7:15
  the fight or not, we at least want to see some some
• 7:18
  competitive baseball. So Boone maybe make a change.
• 7:22
  He said, no, let's run it back. And the thing that the thing
• 7:26
  that cracks me up is they, they were talking about Austin,
• 7:31
  Austin Wells tonight getting a getting a, a pinch hit.
• 7:35
  And they're they're talking about Boone's philosophy with
• 7:37
  that or, or mindset with that. And he said, you know, I just
• 7:41
  feel like his moments right there.
• 7:42
  He said the same thing about Aaron Judge.
• 7:46
  He says the same thing over and over again about everybody
• 7:48
  throughout the year. It's just copy and paste.
• 7:51
  Right. And my, my, my thing with Judge,
• 7:54
  it's like, OK, Boone, let's, let's keep let's keep judging
• 7:58
  the three hole. And maybe if he heats it up, if
• 8:01
  he heats things up over the next couple weeks, then we'll be
• 8:03
  right. We'll be right back where we
• 8:05
  want to be. Oh wait, you can't because you
• 8:09
  have a single game left. I felt like this game was such a
• 8:15
  must win because if you lose this game, you have to pitch
• 8:21
  Garrett Cole tomorrow. You have to, but don't care
• 8:28
  about normal rest. You're down 3.
• 8:30
  Nothing. You have to throw Gerrit Cole,
• 8:32
  so why not piggyback Louise Heel off of Clark Schmidt?
• 8:38
  The second Clark Schmidt starts getting into trouble, there's
• 8:41
  your second starter. Put him in because if you win
• 8:46
  that game, great. And then it in my mind, if you
• 8:50
  win a game at home and then you followed up with Garrett Cole
• 8:53
  and you win another game and you even this series up, that
• 8:57
  changes everything. But instead it's Clark Schmidt,
• 9:04
  3 1/3, three and 2/3 bullpen. And again, like, I guess we can
• 9:15
  give some credit to the bullpen for keeping it manageable and
• 9:19
  hoping that this offense would wake up at some point.
• 9:24
  But like, Oh my gosh, dude. Like it's just there's so much
• 9:30
  of this like stubbornness of like, well, this is what we've
• 9:33
  done all year. It's got us here.
• 9:37
  No, I think you have to see Judge it hit second or or 5th.
• 9:47
  Like there's got to be something to move and you swap Soto and
• 9:52
  you he at least gets some pitches to see.
• 9:58
  There's got to be something. There's got to be some kind of
• 10:01
  change. There's got to be something.
• 10:05
  Not just Trevino coming in for Wells.
• 10:10
  I think Oswaldo Cabrera is probably the most exciting
• 10:13
  player on this team. That guy is full of energy.
• 10:16
  Every time he touches a field, he makes impact.
• 10:20
  He has so much energy and the bench is never used.
• 10:27
  The only pinch hit up, the only pinch hitting that ever happens
• 10:30
  is at the catcher spot. That's it.
• 10:34
  You just throw the bet that whoever didn't start at catcher,
• 10:37
  he's going to pinch hit for the catcher at some point in the
• 10:39
  seventh, hey? Boonies got his guys back.
• 10:42
  He's he knows they're they're just about to turn a corner.
• 10:47
  These guys are just about to turn a corner.
• 10:49
  Give him a few more games, even a even though another week or
• 10:53
  two and and this team is going to be clicking.
• 10:56
  I'm telling you, they're going to be clicking.
• 10:58
  No, the reality of it is, is egos cost this Yankees team in
• 11:03
  the World Series. It's as simple as that.
• 11:06
  Egos, all, everything that's being talked about right now on
• 11:10
  the on the national level, on these broadcasts on social media
• 11:15
  and these articles that you're reading, it all boils down to
• 11:18
  the fact that the Yankees lost this World Series, will lose
• 11:22
  this World Series because egos got in the way.
• 11:27
  Aaron Boone needs to actually make a decision.
• 11:29
  And I, I get the fall back as well.
• 11:31
  He says the same thing all the time.
• 11:33
  Great. Well, you're in the World
• 11:35
  Series, so maybe change it up just for a couple of days.
• 11:38
  Aaron, Aaron Judge, I don't care if he's the MVP.
• 11:44
  He's he's hitting like 100 right now.
• 11:47
  So maybe drop him in the lineup that that's it.
• 11:52
  But you know, let's let's talk about a team that is is pushing
• 11:58
  all the right buttons. Freddie Freeman right there in
• 12:02
  the first. I mean this, this guy's
• 12:03
  unstoppable. I mean, five he what did they
• 12:06
  say? It was like 40 something days
• 12:10
  having not hit a home run coming into end of this stretch that
• 12:13
  he's on this tear that he's on right now.
• 12:15
  And he has five straight, which puts him in in in the company of
• 12:20
  George Springer has the only players with five consecutive
• 12:24
  home runs or five homers in five consecutive games in the World
• 12:29
  Series. Yep continues to get fastballs
• 12:33
  in make it make sense, man, I'm sorry I'm struggling.
• 12:41
  It's the he's incredible. He's he's really incredible.
• 12:47
  And I think what makes baseball this way is that like you're
• 12:58
  never going to have your whole lineup rolling at once.
• 13:01
  Like it's just it's rare. Maybe it's one or two, maybe
• 13:05
  three games in a year where your whole lineup goes absolutely
• 13:09
  crazy. The the depth is where it starts
• 13:17
  to really show everyone that like if Otani's not on, if
• 13:23
  Mookie isn't doing Mookie things like there's still so many other
• 13:27
  pieces. I I think you could make your
• 13:32
  way around the diamond and argue that a lot of these names are
• 13:35
  like top ten names at their position.
• 13:40
  I mean, and they're just so deep and like someone's going to get
• 13:43
  you at some point. And right now it's just Freddie
• 13:47
  carrying the load. And when you have role players
• 13:51
  like Tommy Edmond and the NLCS doing what he does, like, it's
• 13:58
  hard to beat, man. Like, even if the Yankees were
• 14:00
  were firing on all cylinders, I don't know.
• 14:07
  The thing with the offenses right now is with the Dodgers,
• 14:11
  to your point, there's maybe one or two guys that went up to the
• 14:17
  plate. I would question whether or not
• 14:20
  they would do anything with the Yankees.
• 14:25
  There's only one or two guys that went up to the plate I
• 14:28
  believe can actually do something.
• 14:31
  That's that's what that's the reality of it.
• 14:34
  And it's it's it's showing up in the box scores.
• 14:37
  This isn't some secret, but the like you said, you go around the
• 14:44
  diamond with with the Dodgers, pretty much anybody that steps
• 14:49
  up to the plate you think could it at the very least as get is
• 14:52
  getting extra bases. Yeah, and then you've got the
• 14:56
  home, the home run threats of pretty much the entire top half
• 14:59
  of the lineup, maybe 2/3 of the lineup.
• 15:02
  But with with the Yankees, it I mean, the most predictable and
• 15:08
  honestly the I I was surprised they didn't they weren't more
• 15:11
  aggressive with guys like you, because I know Judge got a he
• 15:14
  got a walk maybe 2 or at least at least had better bats
• 15:18
  tonight. I mean, I will get into into his
• 15:20
  continued lack of performance, but he got he had better at
• 15:23
  bats. I'm surprised.
• 15:24
  I'm just I'm really surprised at the way they work.
• 15:26
  Some of these guys like judge, I thought they'd be more
• 15:28
  aggressive against because why not?
• 15:32
  And pretty much you go down, you go up and down that lineup.
• 15:34
  There's no reason not to be ultra aggressive.
• 15:37
  And I think I think Bueller was able to do that given given how
• 15:41
  how well he pitched tonight and and then obviously the pen up
• 15:43
  until the that Verdugo home run. But I mean, the what's I'm just
• 15:52
  as somebody who doesn't have a dog in the fight, I'm just, I'm
• 15:56
  increasingly disappointed because this World Series
• 16:00
  started with so much promise. And now, I mean, we're talking
• 16:05
  about this thing going 7 after before the series started.
• 16:08
  And then after game one, we're going, OK, if this is the kind
• 16:10
  of theatrics that we're going to be dealt, this thing is going 6,
• 16:14
  if not 7. And now we're on the doorstep of
• 16:17
  a sweep. We're on the doorstep of a
• 16:22
  sweep. And like to use a phrase that
• 16:26
  you've used in in episodes past, like, I feel like as baseball
• 16:30
  fans, we deserve this. Like, you know, say what you
• 16:34
  will about the payroll, say what you will about the, the size of
• 16:37
  the markets, The reality of it is these were the two teams that
• 16:41
  we were dealt in the World Series powerhouses.
• 16:44
  You know, the whole, the whole campaign they're pushing with
• 16:47
  these commercials, the whole two Coast 1 crown thing that you
• 16:50
  keep seeing. That's that that's what we have
• 16:53
  before us. And that's what we had at the
• 16:56
  start of this thing. But it has since become very,
• 17:00
  very lopsided. And it's just disappointing
• 17:03
  because it's like, OK, if we're going to talk up this big mess
• 17:06
  about how, how electric this World Series is going to be.
• 17:10
  And, and we're we're were dogging on people that don't
• 17:14
  want to watch the series, saying like, you're going to miss out
• 17:17
  on on a heck of a show. And, and we were we, you know,
• 17:22
  baseball fans were on their soapboxes after game one.
• 17:27
  And, and here we are, like I said, on the doorstep of a
• 17:30
  sweep. It's just, it's, it's been kind
• 17:33
  of a let down. And I'm sure, I'm sure Dodgers
• 17:35
  fans couldn't care less. Like World Series title is going
• 17:38
  to be a World Series title. But it's just I'm it's the the
• 17:42
  trajectory has has evolved rapidly and it's, it just hasn't
• 17:47
  been fun. I'll be honest with you like
• 17:49
  that, even in the ninth, like what was it?
• 17:52
  Game two, Game 2, Yankees crawl back a little bit.
• 17:56
  And we talked about it. You know, we're we're sitting on
• 17:58
  the edge of our seats. Me again, don't have a dog in
• 18:02
  the fight. I'm I'm sweating a little bit
• 18:04
  tonight. It it's just the trajectory of
• 18:06
  the series, like I said, has just plummeted.
• 18:08
  And and tonight, even with that Verdugo home run, I'm sitting
• 18:11
  there going. I mean they they panned.
• 18:14
  Yeah, they I didn't say anything.
• 18:17
  And they they they panned the the top step of the Yankees Zug
• 18:20
  out. And it was just like, I'm not
• 18:25
  take this as you will, but it just, it seemed like very false
• 18:30
  hope, very like fake confidence, like you saw soda like pound in
• 18:33
  the I'm like, dude, you don't, you have no, no confidence in
• 18:37
  this thing being extended to extras or even even a walk off.
• 18:41
  So you know it. I I just hope that game four
• 18:47
  holds a little something before this thing ultimately fizzles
• 18:50
  out if that's the direction it's headed.
• 18:52
  But I mean, if, if this just go if, if, if we get game 4 playing
• 18:58
  out the ways the the way that two and three if if sort of
• 19:02
  played out, I don't know, don't know.
• 19:08
  Yeah, man, I I think just kind of going back to the beginning
• 19:12
  of the series, like we talked about how important game one was
• 19:19
  for the Yankees specifically just to be able to get to
• 19:26
  Flaherty first and and get into the bullpen quick and disrupt
• 19:34
  the game plan. Dave Roberts is hadn't have
• 19:39
  hadn't have to do anything except just stick to the game
• 19:42
  plan. That's all it's been the entire
• 19:46
  series is like, well, this is how we mapped it out and it's
• 19:49
  going according to plan. It's like I said, man, it's,
• 19:57
  it's honestly embarrassing and like infuriating because like, I
• 20:02
  don't, I don't see this team going back unless there's
• 20:08
  drastic moves in the offseason. Like I I don't really see it.
• 20:14
  Why? I know you're hurting a little
• 20:16
  bit because that I, it dawned on me just a few minutes ago that
• 20:20
  when you said earlier that you felt like this was one of the
• 20:23
  best rosters ever assembled, for some reason I thought you were
• 20:26
  talking about the Dodgers, but you were talking about this
• 20:28
  Yankees team. No, I was definitely talking
• 20:31
  about the Dodgers. OK, yeah, I was OK because I I
• 20:35
  was, I was a little, I was a little confused there because,
• 20:38
  because in one breath you're saying, like, I think this is
• 20:40
  one of the best rosters ever assembled.
• 20:42
  Then you're like, well, we need to make drastic changes now.
• 20:44
  But OK, that makes more sense now.
• 20:45
  You, you were talking, talking Dodgers, but.
• 20:48
  No man, it's just like it's I don't even know.
• 20:56
  Jazz pisses me off like a lot. Just watching him complain and
• 21:03
  get like overly emotional and he just he hasn't done anything.
• 21:14
  It's just like a couple things that could have gone a little
• 21:17
  bit differently would have would have helped a lot.
• 21:22
  Like, you know, just even like that Volpe foul ball off the
• 21:26
  wall down the right field line. Like if that stays fair, like
• 21:30
  you can sit there and say, like there's a couple barrels.
• 21:32
  Maybe maybe Louise Ross doesn't send Stanton when the Oscars
• 21:38
  holding the ball and going to be out by 6 steps like.
• 21:44
  Let's talk about that real quick.
• 21:47
  Objectively terrible send, but I get, I get it.
• 21:51
  Like you, you, you have manufactured little to nothing.
• 21:57
  You got to try and make something happen.
• 21:59
  I just feel bad. Who?
• 22:00
  Who's the third base coach for the Yankees?
• 22:02
  Luis Rojas. Oh yeah, yeah.
• 22:04
  I I mean, I feel bad for him because it's like.
• 22:07
  He's not a good third base coach.
• 22:08
  He's done this, Sure. This year, Yeah, a lot of
• 22:11
  questionable sins. It's like in his head, he's
• 22:14
  probably going, OK, this is an opportunity to make something
• 22:16
  happen. And then he he quickly is
• 22:18
  reminded who's on, who's on base.
• 22:21
  And it's like, well, this is going to not work out.
• 22:26
  The I think Smolt said that like I think the Yankees have had.
• 22:34
  I think they've only had like 3 back-to-back hits the entire
• 22:39
  post season. Nate, I think I saw maybe one
• 22:43
  perfect. I mean say what you will about
• 22:45
  the home run and I I had jotted this down before pre Verdugo
• 22:49
  home run. I think I saw maybe one
• 22:51
  professional at bat from the Yankees tonight.
• 22:54
  Is that Rizzo single? Rizzo single, 9 pitches.
• 22:58
  He's actually looked decent. He hasn't looked that bad.
• 23:01
  For a gimpy old man, he's looked.
• 23:05
  He's looked OK. Nine pitch AB muscles it out
• 23:08
  into shallow. What was that right center?
• 23:10
  I mean, I I saw that and I'm like, wow, it's a little
• 23:13
  refreshing. I mean the dodgers are just
• 23:15
  turning the line up over every couple innings.
• 23:18
  But for the Yankees to put something together that was and
• 23:22
  by something putting it together, I had one hit.
• 23:25
  There's no pests like that. These don't have any pesty type
• 23:32
  guys like you. You would want maybe a Jazz or a
• 23:36
  Volpe to like adopt that role in some kind of way.
• 23:40
  They're just all very swing and miss.
• 23:44
  Lot of strikeout and pull happy and I've watched these, I want
• 23:55
  to say like these like seasons they get into throughout the
• 24:00
  season that like it's just this chapter where they all try to do
• 24:06
  the same thing and they all look the same and there's no one in
• 24:09
  the lineup that really breaks it up in any way.
• 24:13
  Like I'm I'm really impressed by Glaber.
• 24:18
  I think he's had like, he's had really good ABS.
• 24:24
  Not that it would have changed anything with that strikeout
• 24:28
  where Soto was on deck like that.
• 24:32
  That was tough, man. Like that, that hurt.
• 24:34
  Like they were finally stringing stuff together.
• 24:36
  They had a chance. And like, if there's ever a
• 24:39
  moment, you know, it's when Soto can have the bases loaded, like,
• 24:43
  and we were robbed at that moment on a on a bad strike
• 24:45
  call. But I can't like sit here and
• 24:48
  blame the whole game on that. I don't know, man.
• 24:51
  It's, it's really tough to watch.
• 24:55
  I'm just, I'm honest. I embarrassed is the only thing
• 24:58
  I can think of. It's the only word I can I can
• 25:01
  drum up. Well, I'd be lying if I said it
• 25:07
  didn't bring me great joy to see hundreds, thousands of Yankee
• 25:15
  fans in the in the crowd just looking completely lost.
• 25:21
  The crowd, like really tried, man.
• 25:23
  Like they tried getting it going.
• 25:25
  Like they tried getting guys going.
• 25:27
  It's just like the play just never happened.
• 25:32
  The play never came. Yeah, bat the hit like nothing
• 25:37
  ever came. I usually get on the Yankee
• 25:42
  crowd and, and for good reason at times, but I, I don't know
• 25:47
  what to tell you guys like I mean, I good for you guys for,
• 25:52
  for at least giving it what you had tonight based on, you know,
• 25:56
  the way the series has gone so far and especially the way
• 25:59
  tonight progressed and and as you as a fan base in in the
• 26:02
  crowd progressed. But I, I don't know what to say.
• 26:07
  I, I can't, I can't dog the crowd because I mean the, the
• 26:12
  this team, this Yankees team gave them nothing to work with.
• 26:17
  Not I mean nothing. And anytime like you, like you
• 26:21
  were saying you were, you were on the doorstep of stringing
• 26:25
  something together, immediately snuffed it out with a strikeout
• 26:29
  with the just a a non competitive, yeah, non
• 26:34
  competitive AB whether it be a ground ball, a fly out or or
• 26:37
  whatever, man, like I said, I mean.
• 26:44
  I think Walker Buehler has successfully earned himself a
• 26:46
  contract though, after having a rough year.
• 26:50
  I think he's, I think he's earned himself a a decent chunk
• 26:54
  of change. I'm not going to go crazy, but I
• 26:56
  would say he's he's earned himself a three or four year
• 26:59
  contract and I would push it to 5060 mil.
• 27:07
  Yeah, I that's one I would play safe.
• 27:09
  I for sure has earned like something more than what he
• 27:12
  would have gotten prior to this the he's last.
• 27:16
  Yeah, but I this is that's a guy I wouldn't get.
• 27:21
  I'm not. Saying you, but I'm.
• 27:22
  Saying like objectively you. Right now could go out and and
• 27:26
  and have a start like that and earn yourself a couple Millie.
• 27:30
  What do you think? Against this Yankees offense.
• 27:32
  I think you got it in, yeah. I'm in.
• 27:37
  The odds of them putting up some runs against me of judges on the
• 27:41
  bench is probably greater because he's he probably would
• 27:44
  hurt the team the least he's on the bench.
• 27:49
  I really did. I like in my head I was like
• 27:52
  coming home. Like I can feel the vibes like I
• 27:56
  can Jeter thrown out first pitch like the Fat Joe OK, can we talk
• 28:03
  by the. Way can we talk about this like,
• 28:06
  OK, sure, it's going to be a boom or take whatever.
• 28:09
  Fine. I I I'll try to acknowledge
• 28:12
  those when I can. No, but we are boomers because
• 28:14
  we listened to Fat Joe when we were kids like.
• 28:17
  No, no, no, no. The kids know who he is.
• 28:18
  Now, no, no, no, no, no, don't get.
• 28:20
  Don't get me wrong, this isn't nothing to do with Fat Joe.
• 28:22
  Grew up on Fat Joe Love me some Fat Joe.
• 28:25
  All about Fat Joe I saw Carabas said you you may as well just
• 28:29
  try and give give Fat Joe an AB at this point and maybe maybe
• 28:33
  turn the tides a little bit yeah a lot of people saying Fat Joe
• 28:36
  doesn't compare to Ice Cube. We all know this My point is
• 28:40
  it's not about Fat Joe again. Cannot trust enough.
• 28:43
  Love me some Fat Joe, however. These are cringey this this
• 28:47
  pregame. Concert thing that we're doing
• 28:50
  all of a sudden like that just started.
• 28:53
  Did we did did we get this game one?
• 28:54
  I don't, I don't remember this game one.
• 28:56
  This was Game 2 with Ice Cube and then game three with Fat
• 29:00
  Joe. I mean, it felt to me like the
• 29:02
  Yankees were scrambling when, like, Ice Cube came out.
• 29:07
  Someone at Yankee Stadium was like, oh, we have two days to
• 29:10
  find somebody. No, no, I, I want to say because
• 29:15
  the, the, the ice cube thing was sort of last minute for me like
• 29:19
  coming across that news and I'm pretty sure I saw it in
• 29:22
  conjunction with that Joe. So I think that announcement may
• 29:24
  have been made like very close together.
• 29:28
  Somebody said, well, they couldn't bring Diddy out.
• 29:32
  Too soon, too soon. Too soon.
• 29:36
  But yeah, the this whole concept, like I why is this
• 29:40
  becoming a thing? I don't know if I like it.
• 29:43
  I mean, you'd have to bring somebody out like an ice cube or
• 29:46
  somebody of that stature who, like, can legitimately get
• 29:48
  things going. Otherwise it's just very
• 29:52
  uncomfortable and it really sets the tone before the game.
• 29:55
  I think, yeah, I mean, I, I would guess that it's MLB being
• 29:59
  like, OK, maybe we have some first time viewers and let's see
• 30:04
  if we can get them a little excited.
• 30:07
  But like the truth is we never see that at any other point in
• 30:10
  baseball and it's awkward. There's just no other way to
• 30:16
  say. It I get it, it's the only time
• 30:18
  they can really do it. You're not bringing ice cube
• 30:20
  out, you're not bringing Fat Joe out in the the 7th inning
• 30:22
  stretch. People are like, well, I'm going
• 30:24
  to go get some popcorn and peanuts and fat Joe's out there.
• 30:28
  I'm all the way, just not going to.
• 30:31
  Was that his song? I didn't even know that was his.
• 30:33
  Song dude, he's been right now I'm just did he do?
• 30:38
  What's another one? That needs to I just went over
• 30:40
  that one. Well, I know lean back, but like
• 30:42
  there was. Another one.
• 30:43
  That's the one. That's the one.
• 30:45
  Surprised we didn't get a little bit of lean back, maybe a little
• 30:47
  feet little spot of make it rain or something.
• 30:50
  I mean, interesting, but I'm not here to complain about that.
• 30:54
  I am here to complain about Aaron Judge though.
• 31:01
  Nate, how, how many more times do I need to tell you?
• 31:05
  And I I don't mean this. I don't mean I don't mean any
• 31:08
  ill will. I'm I'm upset on your behalf
• 31:12
  because I've seen how you really tried to hold out hope for this
• 31:16
  guy. But when are we going to accept
• 31:18
  the fact that this guy is just not cut out for the bright
• 31:22
  lights? And and when I say bright
• 31:24
  lights, hear me out. I know he's a Yankee.
• 31:27
  I know he wears the pinstripes every game.
• 31:29
  I get that. And I know he's put up historic
• 31:31
  seasons thus far in his relatively early career, but the
• 31:38
  postseason is a different beast with this guy.
• 31:42
  Yeah. I mean, I coming into tonight he
• 31:49
  had 41 at bats this postseason alone and he had struck out in
• 31:55
  20 of them. Yeah, this is what I'm saying.
• 32:02
  Like, I think that's what sucks is I think they'll be back in
• 32:06
  the postseason. I just, I don't know if getting
• 32:12
  back to the World Series with like without a full overhaul is
• 32:16
  is in the future, in the near future, has to be in the near
• 32:19
  future, literally has to be in the near future.
• 32:24
  And that's what sucks the most is that like, I think this is
• 32:28
  going to be unless it's next year, this is going to be like
• 32:32
  potentially the lasting taste of what we what we have with judge
• 32:40
  in the World Series or Judge in the post season.
• 32:43
  And like with I don't know, like I, I know everyone, I know every
• 32:49
  Yankee fan and everyone in the comments sections like you got
• 32:52
  to resign Soto, but like this team needs a lot of help.
• 32:55
  Like there's a lot of holes in this roster and resigning him
• 33:00
  limits the amount of holes that can be plugged.
• 33:04
  How much? Because, you know, we, we sort
• 33:06
  of speculated before the World Series started.
• 33:08
  How much do you think the way this World Series has gone has
• 33:11
  impacted Juan Soto's sign ability in the offseason for the
• 33:14
  Yankees? I think it's definitely hurt,
• 33:19
  like getting to the if he hadn't won a World Series already, it'd
• 33:24
  be a different story. The fact that he's won one, the
• 33:27
  fact that he's done so well and the fact that the rest of the
• 33:30
  roster has sucked, I think it's hurt.
• 33:35
  I think it's embarrassing. I think that he has spent pretty
• 33:40
  much all season in Judge's shadow.
• 33:44
  He spent the ALCS despite big moments in Stanton shadow.
• 33:51
  And now it's just like now he's ready to ready to walk.
• 34:00
  That's what it feels like. I don't know.
• 34:04
  And part of me is like, I think it's yeah, I'm crazy to say I
• 34:11
  don't want them to re sign Soto. But like I said, like you got to
• 34:16
  solve some issues. The back end rotation needs
• 34:20
  help. The bullpen needs help.
• 34:24
  Glaber is set to be a free agent for Dugo.
• 34:28
  So like, we have a hole in left field now.
• 34:31
  Like Rizzo's one year older DJ Lemayhew seems to be washed up.
• 34:36
  Like, is Jazz the real answer? Like there's a lot of question
• 34:42
  Marks and if you go and spend 38 or 42 AAV on Soto like that
• 34:53
  really handcuffs you and then you have to kind of wait out the
• 34:58
  stand contracts. You kind of have to wait out the
• 35:02
  Cole contract. I know there's an opt out there,
• 35:04
  but like then you're talking about being ready again in three
• 35:09
  or four years and those guys are pushing 3637 like I we.
• 35:16
  See it and we still got one game left.
• 35:19
  We don't need there's one game left in this World Series.
• 35:22
  I don't need you running me through the the Yankees
• 35:24
  offseason plans. Just all I'm saying is just I, I
• 35:27
  think yeah, it's hurt. It's hurt the idea of re signing
• 35:31
  Soto. I think it's hurt Soto and he
• 35:36
  and he would be, he'd go across town and get every dollar he
• 35:40
  asked for and be the guy and be adored and arguably have a
• 35:49
  better core, a younger core. I'm I, I got to agree with you.
• 35:55
  I I mean, I think you're crazy if you say out loud like, oh,
• 35:59
  this team shouldn't read like, or just any team shouldn't
• 36:03
  resign. Juan Soto, I understand that
• 36:05
  that sounds crazy, but to your point, it's like.
• 36:10
  He doesn't solve the issue. Him gone means judge can move
• 36:13
  back to right field. It means that Jason Dominguez
• 36:17
  can play every day in center field.
• 36:18
  It means that they can go get a true left fielder, probably
• 36:21
  someone, you know, a little bit more athletic.
• 36:23
  Like you can spend that money on Glaber to bring him back.
• 36:27
  Like, there's some things that they can do in the rotation.
• 36:30
  Like, there's a lot. You're talking 40 AAV,
• 36:34
  potentially 50 towards just one guy.
• 36:37
  Like, there's a lot you can do with that.
• 36:39
  And you're talking about a season this year that featured 2
• 36:43
  rather historic seasons collectively, one of the more
• 36:48
  historic duo efforts in in baseball history between Judge
• 36:53
  and Soto. And it was, I mean, we're one
• 36:58
  short, one game short of it being all for not and and all
• 37:01
  for not, you know, like. And you can still, you can run
• 37:05
  these numbers. It just so happens that you
• 37:09
  know, the, the Soto and Stanton numbers that they, the graphic
• 37:12
  that they showed them to versus the rest of the lineup, how
• 37:15
  it's, you know, there's nothing coming from the rest of the
• 37:18
  lineup. You can do that the whole season
• 37:22
  with Soto and Judge and then look at the rest of the lineup
• 37:25
  and it's a drastic change. It's a drastic drop off.
• 37:29
  It just so happens that now Judge and Stanton have swapped
• 37:32
  productive spots and Soto remains Soto.
• 37:39
  The lineup needs help, man. The lineup can't hang, and
• 37:43
  that's why a Flaherty. A.
• 37:47
  Half rehabbed Yamamoto and seemed to be washed up.
• 37:55
  Walker Buehler is carving these guys up and mowing them down.
• 38:01
  Signups not very good. You combine a not so good lineup
• 38:06
  with Louise Heel going in Game 4.
• 38:09
  I think it's got to be Cole. I think it's crazy if it's not.
• 38:13
  Cole well, they pretty much already said that that's not
• 38:16
  necessarily an option. I don't see how he threw 87
• 38:20
  pitches 4 days ago. That's enough rest.
• 38:25
  I watched CC go ridiculous starts on two days rest in O 9 I
• 38:30
  watched. I've seen pitchers do this.
• 38:33
  Dude, we're getting we're getting house money out of the
• 38:38
  Dodgers effort efforts the next game.
• 38:44
  Plus, like, I mean, talk about being, I mean, Dave Roberts has
• 38:48
  to be loving life right now. Like you are literally you can
• 38:53
  do literally whatever you want. Honestly, not that he would do
• 38:59
  this, but you could give your line up a day off.
• 39:05
  Hey, Blake. Yeah, we'll come back.
• 39:06
  Sure we could. I was thinking that in my head.
• 39:08
  I was like, I wonder if you give Otani the day off.
• 39:12
  Give some of those guys a day off, say we'll punt, we'll come
• 39:16
  back Game 5. Honestly, the Dodgers could punt
• 39:18
  Game four, give some guys some rest.
• 39:20
  They probably still sweep. That's that's the way the series
• 39:25
  is going. That's the way the series going.
• 39:28
  You could sit Otani, you could sit Bets, you could sit Freddie
• 39:31
  on that bum ankle. You still go out there, win the
• 39:33
  game. That's the way this series is
• 39:35
  going. And that's why, like I said,
• 39:39
  Dave Roberts has to be loving life right now.
• 39:42
  And like you were saying, you saw maybe some different arms in
• 39:48
  the pen. You can toy around with that the
• 39:50
  next the next night or two if it gets that far.
• 39:55
  Nate, I'm I'm disappointed in this in the way this series has
• 40:03
  gone. I mean, I was, yeah, you for
• 40:07
  obvious reasons, but I was talking my mess on social, man.
• 40:11
  I I mean, people were like, I don't care about this World
• 40:14
  Series and I'm like, OK, then go do what you're going to do.
• 40:18
  Honestly, those people are kind of coming out, coming out
• 40:23
  looking like the, well, the smarter minds.
• 40:27
  Here I did see Yankees in seven, so that prediction is still
• 40:33
  technically alive. You think, you think Boone.
• 40:37
  You think Boone is showing them all like the Red Sox, 04
• 40:40
  documentaries in the in the clubhouse tonight.
• 40:46
  He's done, you laugh. He's done that already.
• 40:50
  He literally he he what? What was the context?
• 40:53
  Was this last? Was it like last postseason or
• 40:56
  something? No.
• 40:57
  We weren't in it last year. OK, was it 2 years ago?
• 41:00
  I swear he he's done this before where he was talking, he was
• 41:04
  talking to the guys in the clubhouse about the O 4 Red Sox,
• 41:09
  somehow forgetting that, forgetting who was on the other
• 41:12
  side of that. But but to your point, it could
• 41:20
  go 7. It could go 7.
• 41:22
  You're not wrong, that's still in the mix.
• 41:26
  I said Dodgers in six looking like an idiot at this point.
• 41:30
  But I don't know man, I guess I guess buckle up for one possible
• 41:37
  possibly 11 more baseball game this year.
• 41:43
  Sad, sad. I thought we were going to make
• 41:46
  it to Halloween. I don't.
• 41:47
  I don't even think we're going to make it to Halloween.
• 41:51
  Yeah. Respect to the Dodgers though.
• 41:54
  They understand the baseball shouldn't be played in November.
• 41:56
  Baseball wrap it up by Halloween and they said we got you.
• 42:03
  Baseball shouldn't be played in March.
• 42:07
  Like real, Like baseball accounts shouldn't be played in
• 42:09
  March and shouldn't be played November.
• 42:14
  That's just me. Yeah, take some of these off
• 42:17
  days out of the post season, please.
• 42:22
  Just a few. We got buckle up baseball fans,
• 42:30
  like I said, we got maybe one game left.
• 42:32
  So soak it, soak it up, soak it in, enjoy it and give me a give
• 42:41
  me a prediction for Game 4. I don't want to.
• 42:45
  Give me a prediction. I'm.
• 42:46
  Not saying anything. Because for the last week, it
• 42:52
  seems Jeter, Jeter and a Rod think that Judge is going to
• 42:57
  bust out. So there's nothing wrong with
• 43:02
  with maybe running with a prediction that that doesn't
• 43:05
  really pan out because that's what these guys are doing too.
• 43:07
  And and they played in the big leagues.
• 43:13
  I think the Yankees win Game 4. I think.
• 43:21
  I think Soto Verdugo get a Bop each.
• 43:34
  Tommy in the chat says though Tony goes 3 for four with two
• 43:36
  homewards and five ribbies. And I think Freddie gets the
• 43:40
  record for six. I think he gets it.
• 43:44
  I like it. I'm going to say the one
• 43:48
  prediction I'm absolutely counting on if if if you're if
• 43:53
  you're a. Judging is going to hit 2.
• 43:55
  If you're a betting fan, no, not even hitting, hitting two.
• 43:58
  He. He.
• 44:01
  I didn't say what he's going to hit, I just said he's going to
• 44:03
  hit 2. He's going to make contact with
• 44:05
  two balls tomorrow. Write it in.
• 44:10
  Carve it in stone. It's either happening.
• 44:13
  He's either Boone's either doing it tonight or he's doing it
• 44:15
  first thing in the morning because it's his favorite thing
• 44:18
  to do. My prediction for game 4, Judge.
• 44:22
  He's getting penciled in at the three hole.
• 44:25
  That's my prediction for game four.
• 44:29
  What a joke, dude. Be like, have read the room,
• 44:33
  have some feel. Booney, Booney.
• 44:38
  My goodness. Yeah, I'm.
• 44:41
  I'm going to say that The Yank. Nope.
• 44:46
  I'm walking that back. This this thing's over.
• 44:49
  This thing's. Over tonight, yeah.
• 44:52
  First came back home in this series yeah, you had to come out
• 44:56
  and and and put something up and like I said, I don't even count
• 44:59
  that Verdugo home run you. This may as well have been a
• 45:02
  shut out. You did nothing that I I have no
• 45:05
  hope for 212. One would have like actually
• 45:08
  felt decent. Like I would have felt like
• 45:12
  decent if the series was 213. O is devastating, especially in
• 45:19
  the way it happened. I feel like for our first time
• 45:27
  viewers, you stop. Should we Should we say
• 45:30
  something to the first time viewers?
• 45:32
  What are you doing? Just preparing.
• 45:36
  Stop, get no. This is a family program.
• 45:41
  What should we say to the 1st? Time viewers first time viewers
• 45:45
  probably listen to this thinking I'm some sort of Yankee or some
• 45:49
  closet Yankees fan I'm I'm really not I'm just the the
• 45:53
  reality of this series is and and we'll we'll kind of wrap it
• 45:56
  here the the reality of this series is that the.
• 45:59
  Yankees are some type of Yankee. Yeah, the the Yankees are solely
• 46:05
  responsible for the, the, the tone of this World Series, the
• 46:09
  trajectory of this World Series. The Dodgers are just doing the
• 46:12
  the Dodgers are just checking the boxes.
• 46:14
  Dodgers are taking it. Anybody.
• 46:15
  OK, this is what we have to do. We have to strike Judge out
• 46:18
  again, OK, We have to oh, there's a runner on base.
• 46:21
  Let's drive him in. OK.
• 46:23
  The Yankees are responsible for for the reason this series is,
• 46:27
  like I said, on the doorstep of a sweep.
• 46:29
  The Dodgers are just doing what they're asked, and that's to to
• 46:33
  to handle a pretty mediocre team right now, so.
• 46:38
  You're wrong, guy. I've got, I've got Dodgers in
• 46:41
  four. This thing's over, Sharpie.
• 46:46
  We'll see you next year. I got no fight in me.
• 46:54
  Tried using her pizza oven for the first time tonight and the
• 47:02
  and it and it burned because it's stuck to the stone and I
• 47:05
  couldn't spin it because the dough on one side was so doughy
• 47:09
  and then the other side burned. Poor kid can't catch a break.
• 47:13
  And it was. I'm not kidding.
• 47:15
  It's about 12 seconds after Stanton got hosed at the plate
• 47:18
  that I just see my pizza going up in flames.
• 47:21
  Are you serious? I'm not kidding, I'm not.
• 47:26
  Kidding, we can't even eat a pizza.
