Top 5 starting pitchers in MLB + Yanks open AL East race back up · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: It's frustrating because they're just not putting up runs. And
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: when you see a team that has, you know, three
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: hundred million dollars payroll that's scoring one run night after night,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: it's just incredibly infuriating.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: As a fan.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: In the Weeds is powered up by Arena Club.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: We're doing our top five starting pitchers in the game
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: right now. I had stripped fresh off the field, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: now I have to pick favorites. Where your top five
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: starters in the sport And yeah, it's probably, you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: not difficult to put together the tippy top, but you're
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: definitely going to have to make some tough.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Decisions later on. So had you put your list together?
• 0:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my four first four were pretty easy to put together.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: I did in order scooball schemes, Wheeler and Web and
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: I imagine we're going to have some overlap there. AJ
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: And then my fifth spot. I went back and forth
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: a lot and really found myself between the three lefties
• 0:53
  Speaker 5: that I like with your Crochet, Max Freed, and Framber Valdez,
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: and I ended up going Framber for just just steady
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Eddie Man. He's been like top ten Cy Young last
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: five six years. Uh, he's got a better playoff pedigree
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: than Max, and then just more inning's under his belt
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: than Crochet. I imagine by the end of the year
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: there's probably world Crochet is on this list, and I
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: wanted to put de Gram on there. He's he's making
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: his way back into the end of this too. But
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: I just I live in Houston. I see what Framber
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: does every fifth day, and he's done it for five
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: six years now. I think I had to put him
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: in there in the fifth spot.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Heye, Andy thoughts, why don't you lay your list out
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: first and then we can see first.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: I can't complain about any of that, but I'm going
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: I went schoobol skiings one two. It's hard to argue
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: that those two guys aren't the best in each league.
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: Uh school, Why did you put scoobl first? Because he's
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: left handed and because he's left handed and he talks trash,
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: That's why I love it. That was the same, And
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: I went three Hunter Brown because I just like where
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: he's at right now. And by the way he drilled
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Netto and then Netto said something and under Brown went
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: after him. Hunter Brown ain't backing down, So I like that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: I love that about any pitcher, And I went Zach
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Wheeler four and I went Logan Web five. I would
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: have thrown Chris Sale in there, but he's hurt right now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: and this is right now. Also, you could throw Crochet
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: in there, you could throw a bunch of guys in there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: But for me, Logan Webb, he takes the ball every
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: fifth day and he freaking dominates man. Every time he
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: picked takes the ball, he just dominates. So those are
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: my top five argument if you want. I know, people
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: are gonna say Hunter Brown's probably a little too high.
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: Look at his numbers, man, look at what he's done.
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: That sinker he's found has been good.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: How many times I sat in the dugout in twenty
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: twenty three on the Giants and would look up after
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: six innings and Logan Web would be at like sixty
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: four pitches and I'd be like, what is going on here?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I mean it's almost like let the first guy get
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: on and let the next guy hit a first pitch
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: double play. I mean, I just he does that three
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: times a game, you know, And you can't print a
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: pitcher better for that stadium. And yeah, he's he's a
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: bulldog man. Logan web deserves to be on this list,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: no doubt.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: You've seen him pitch a lot.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: I mean kind of give us the evaluation of his
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: stuff and why it stands out, and it's different. And
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: he's really so different from almost anybody else on your lists.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I guess you can make a little bit of a
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: framber cop he'll he'll rock up ground balls too.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well that's you know, the other guys are
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: power right, And even though Webby is starting to mix
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: in some like ninety four ninety five's up in the zone,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: which is just unfair. He just crushes you with this
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: stuff down in the zone. And what makes him different
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: is actually you talked to hitters about why why you
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: just pound Logan Web into the ground or even get
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: swing and miss, And it sounds like what they say
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: is specifically on the change up, but even on the
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: sinker a little bit. As you see it out of
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the hand, you read it, Oh, that's a change up.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: But it moves three different ways. One goes down, one
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: runs into you, one might even cut a little bit.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: And you're like, oh, I see change up. I'm moving
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: my barrel to it, and it moves one of the
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: three ways, and you don't know which one, and all
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: of a sudden, you hit a nineteen hopper to the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: shortstop in your back, in your dugout. So I just
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: think it's It's not only is he deceptive and has
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: extreme movement profiles. His movement profiles are erratic in a
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: way that hitters can't plan for or their eyes don't
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: even know how to tell them what it's doing. So
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I think you know that just makes them so frustrating.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: Hey, strip, So we did a thing earlier in the year.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: We had to pick our three players we'd want to
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: choose to start a team with, and he was one
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: of my picks. And Krats and Scott blew me up.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: So thank you for having my back on this one,
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: they blew me up about. I'm like Logan Web. Yes,
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: cal Rawly was one on one. I forget my other
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: one maybe Bobby Witt, and then my one pitcher I
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: picked because I got confused by what it was supposed
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: to be. But I picked Logan Web because again, I
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: like guys to take the ball. Every fifth day, they
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: get quick out, they go deep into games every time.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: He's perfectly made for his ball.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: Bark yep spot on Man two hundred innings every year.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Just go ahead and pencil that in. He might even
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: lead the NL and innings every year for the foreseeable future.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: And yeah, it's just and there's too many nights where
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: it's just easy. Last year I pitched against him and
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: I was actually doing really well and he threw like
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: a two hit, complete game shutout and didn't even give
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: me a chance. So's it's just there's nights where he
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: takes the ball on that stadium and the game's over
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: before it even starts.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: We got one fan with reaction to this, Adrian said,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: where's Andrew Abbott? I mean, I can make the same
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: case for Chris Bubich who's having a sick year, but
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: that's like a little too current, and you want to
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: see a little more of a track record, right aj
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Even Rono Brown, who was really bad the first couple
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: months of the season last year, now consistently you go
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: for at least what June so almost the rest or
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: all but two months of last season, and then halfway
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: through this season and he's got a top three ERA.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: He looks like a one. So what's the delineation?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Plus I wanted to throw some young blood in there. Yes,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: andrewrabbits having a nice year, but he's got such a
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: history of being injured, and it's just I don't know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: I got to see more, like you said, And yes
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: he's having a great year. There's a lot of guys
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: that are having a great year. But this time next
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: year you do this list, guess who might be on
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: it Andrew Rabbit. But for me, this is the guys
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: that I like right now. And like I said, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: like guys to talk a little trash. So Hunter Brown
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: drills guy goes after him right, Logan Webb, he'll strike
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: you out of talk a little bit. I mean, Chrissale,
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: those guys, I mean, Scoopball talks trash. These are the
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: guys I like. Sorry, you know we all have our opinion.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yep, I'm with you.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: I love how I love how he's on both of
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: our lists. AJ, sorry, real quick, I love always on
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: both of our lists, Zach Wheeler. And we don't even
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: we don't even talk about him. That's how like underappreciated.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: He is man talking about what he's done the last
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: couple of years and just doing it here again, it's
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: he's on the both of our list. Top five and
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: we're barely even speaking about him.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: He's the best for the longest period of time at
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: this point. You know, you look at the last like
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: five years. Yeah, look at the playoffs.
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: Look at his playoff numbers. Are you kidding me this, dude?
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: You know the Mets that came up with, you know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: Harvey and Cindergard and de Grom and Wheeler and Mattz.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I think that was the five. There might even be
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: a six in there, and I think we're probably gonna
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: look back and say that Wheeler was the best and
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: had the best career.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: De Grom has the cy youngs but is now you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: mixed and some injuries ages. But Wheeler just like slow
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: and steady in here man of those Mets starting pitchers.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: It's it's it's unbelievable.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Wheeler's retiring two seasons from now. If he does what
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: he's doing right now for two more seasons, he's probably
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: a Hall of Famer. I know, you know, he started
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: a little bit late with his stardom, but he's getting close.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna be a top five so young
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: guy year after year. All right, all right, we'll bring
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that debate.
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: I don't know, we'll have talking about it, but let's yeah,
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: we'll talk about that Hall of Famers. Yeah, we'll talk
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: about it.

• 9:41
  Speaker 4: right now. Make sure you check out the show after
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: every single Yanks game and their shows before that as well.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: It takes your voicemails the whole deal. We'll talk more
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: about it, Derek. Good to see you, dude, and obviously
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: we're bringing you in for a little therapy session. So
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: first off, your general take on where the Yankees are
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: at right now? But since we're a national show, really global,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: where's the Ale East at right now?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Well, the Yankees are stumbling, obviously, the Aliast is tightening,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: saw the Red Sox back to about five hundred.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: The Rays right on our.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Heels Orioles, don't have to worry about them. We got
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the Blue Jays coming up, so that'll be an interesting series.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The Yankees play in Toronto beginning next Monday, so that'll
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: be an interesting series. They have not played well against
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: the American League East in general, and over their last
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: eleven games, they've played really bad. We had some guys
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that looked like they were heating up a couple of
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: weeks ago when we played the Royals. You know, Austin
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Wells looked like he was getting ready to go on
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: his you know, summer hit barrage.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But he was hot for.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: About as long as my coffee this morning, about five minutes.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And he's cooled off.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of bats cooling off, and it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: it's it's been a rough week and the fans are
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: feeling the Yanks.
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: Derek, I just want to know this. It's such a
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: typical Yankee fan like you are to mention the Red
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: Sox first and not even bring up the Rays or
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: the Jays. The razor game back and the Yankees suck
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: in extra innings, so god forbid if they go into
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: extra innings because they are terrible in extra innings. But
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: typical Yankees fan, Oh, the Red Sox, they're not doing anything.
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: But the Rays and Jays are bringing it, and especially
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: the Rays. The Rays are the hottest team going. Are
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: you worried?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I mean it's hard not to be worried.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: We've seen a five and a half game lead shrank
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: to one game over the past you know, a week
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: or so. We've seen them flush leads in June and July.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: In recent years, the Rays winning the division and playing
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: in our minor league park would really really upset a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people for some reason. I think, look, the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yankees have just got to play better. If they can
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: just play better, I think they can hold off these teams.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: But you've got some guys that have really cooled off.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Paul Goldschmidt over his last thirty games is hitting two
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: toh four. Anthony Volpi over his last ten games is
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: hitting one to eighteen. Judge over his last ten games,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: hitting two twenty two with just two home runs and
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: two RBIs Domingez hitting one seventy six against this year,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Austin Wells over the last ten games, hitting one fifty two.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: You can't have all of your big bats cold. At
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: the same time, we were hoping that when Stanton came back,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe he would be hot. He's hit some singles,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: you know, a couple of doubles, but he hasn't started
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: leaving the ballpark yet. Ben Rice looks like he's coming.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Out of it. He hit home runs.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He had a home run this weekend, and then he
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: hit one yesterday that almost left the Great American Ballpark.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: So there's some promising signs, but you just gotta you
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: just got to put it all together for a little while.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: The pitching has been really good, so that's that's one
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: good sign. Rodin again last night was terrific. We got
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Max Freed going today. He's been terrific all year. But
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you got to support these guys with some runs.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Derek, what's up man. Nice to meet you, Bud. You know,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: you just kind of touched on it. Yankees have you know,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: struggled in some summers in the past seasons, and here
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: we're go into a July where it's like only playoff
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: teams coming up on the schedule, you know, and you
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: think about the Yankees when I was playing them, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: they would they just kind of like muscle their way
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: through stretches like this. I feel like, because you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: the roster and the team kind of is what it is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: And I just wonder, you know, as you head into
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: a stretch like this and into the All Star break,
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: like what are some what are some of the things
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: they can do within the cracks or going into this
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: kind of stretch to write the ship a little bit well.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: As Aj mentioned, and it's nice to meet you too. Ross.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: They're really bad in extra innings, and I think that
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: goes to the approach in general of being a slugging team.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: They don't move runners over. A lot of times you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: start with the Manfred runner and extra innings and you
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: don't move them over. And I think just the little
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: things like that add up. You know, there's been some
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: bullpen meltdowns. It seems like, you know, we used to
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: have this thing where every night a different hero would
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: step up, right, Well, it seems like every night a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: different guy in the bullpen has a tough night. And
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: you know, guys like Lowisaga who you know, have been injured,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: but you know coming back, he's he's gonna have to
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: step up. We got Luke Weaver back in there now,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: so maybe he can get hot again. He was not
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: exactly inspiring in his first outing, but he pitched a
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: little bit better last night. I just think you got
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: to get better in the margins. And and again, Aaron
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Judge needs to get hot. When this team is hot,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: it's because Aaron Judge is hitting. You know, he's slipped
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: over the last couple of weeks. And you know, when
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you the best hitter in baseball goes down for a while,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: other guys have to step up, and they have not.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: They have not.
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: Derek, I want to ask you. You mentioned a lot
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: of these guys and Austin Wells seven o eight ops
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: Vulpi seven twenty nine, Bellinger seven sixty seven, they're they're
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: okay OPS wise, But what are Yankee fans feeling about
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: these guys, because, like you mentioned, it's it's a lot
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: of their opia. I mean, because then you go batting
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: average Austin Wells two sixteen, Volpi two thirty three, So
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: a lot of their OPS is hitting for home runs?
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Are they an only home run hitting team? Is there
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: a way to improve what they're doing? And are Yankee
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: fans satisfied with what the lineup is doing? Well?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: This is what we've been saying for the last decade
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: or more. This this Yankees approach, right, it's it's fruit
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: from the poisonous tree.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: The things they teach in this organization is to just
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: hunt fastballs and hit long balls right, draw walks, hit
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: home runs. But you've got to play baseball too. There's
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: one guy who I think plays decent baseball that you mentioned,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and that is Cody Bellinger.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: I feel like his OPS.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Is better than you would you know, then it looks
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: because a lot of it is like doubles and stuff
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: like you know, Volpi's ops is held up by hitting
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: nine home runs in the first you know, a couple
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: of first couple of months, and Jazz Chishom's ops is
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: held up by hitting home runs early on.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: They don't.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They don't get a lot of hits, right, They just
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: they don't hit with the runners in scoring position. They
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: don't hit a lot of doubles. I don't have the
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: stats in front of me. I mean, maybe they've compiled numbers,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: but it seems like they go long stretches without productive
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: at bats. I think it was John Boy pointed out
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they have more big innings than almost any team, but
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: then they have a lot of innings where they don't
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: score because they're you know, to quote one of the guys,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I think it was uh Oh, I can't remember his name,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the guy from the baseball documentary Ken Burns documentary said
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: the strategy is to put two guys on and then
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: have god Zilla hit one into Tokyo Bay. That seems
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: to be the Yankees approach for the better part of
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a decade. Right now, it's failed in the playoffs, it
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: always fails at some point for a long stretch during
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the summer, and their hope is that they can just
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: get to the playoffs and one or two guys get
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: hot like Stanton last year, and you slug your way
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: to the World Series and maybe you, you know, build
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: a really good pitching staff that can stay healthier than
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of other teams can afford to keep a staff.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So that seems to be the approach right now. It's
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: frustrating because they're just not putting up runs. And when
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: you see a team that has, you know, three hundred
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: million dollars pay roll that's scoring one run night after night,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: it's just incredibly infuriating as a fan.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Well, if you're a normal human, you can't speak English
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: to your pup. But what you can do to understand
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: what they love, which is Spontan tango on kibble, is
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: to see how they react when you put the unkibble
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: in the bowl.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: And my pup, pinal Lope, loves it. So does Bella.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Well, Bella speaks Spanish, so she says, moybien, I love
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: this stuff.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: She says, wow, Dad, thanks for creating a custom plan
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: based on my age weight, breed an activity level.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: You nailed it.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: And also it's made with one hundred percent a whole
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: fresh ingredients like real USDA meats, fruits and veggies, but
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: it's forty percent less expensive than frozen food. So upgrade
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: your pets bowl with spotan Tango unkibble and for a
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: limited time, go to spotantango dot com slash foul and
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: use code foul for fifty percent off your first order.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: That's spotantango dot com slash foul, code foul to get
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: fifty percent off your first order.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Derek, where are the fans at? On Jazz Chisholm? Last night?
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: He gets ejected in an next r inning game two
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: oh pitch borderline. He won't let it go. And what
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: was interesting to me is if you watch the broadcast,
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: he was kind of yelling in Boon and Brad Oustmas
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: and the rest of the team wasn't really like I
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: don't want to say no, they weren't standing up for him,
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: but they weren't telling him to quiet down either, right,
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: They were just kind of letting him have And then
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: he gets ejected. It leads to a scar having to
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: play third base. Not that it ended up hurting him,
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: but you know what I'm saying like, where are the
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Yankee fings out with just Chisseholm?
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It could have.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean it's it's great that you bring
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: this up because we had some calls about this last
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: night on the show. A lot of people felt like
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: it was an incredibly immature thing to just let it
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: drag on. Yeah, calls get blown, right, I mean we
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: how many calls get overturned every single day and how
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: many aulmps missed calls in big spots. It's part of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: the game, right, I mean, sometimes you're gonna have calls
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: that don't go your way, especially in a tight game.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: You've got to just put that in your pocket, set
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: aside and get to work. And you know, we hear
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: a lot about how you know New York fans, are
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you know, knowledgeable about baseball and things like that, and
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: this is one of the spots where it shows up
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: for me because I feel like instead of calling in
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: and being pissed at the ump for blowing the call,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: people were calling in they were pissed at Jazz for
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: putting the team in a difficult spot. Now, like you said,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: thankfully it didn't end up hurting the team, But I mean,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: who knows what could have happened. I mean, the game
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: could play out any number of different ways if you don't,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: you know, in any number of scenarios, if he doesn't
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: get it ejected. So you know, it's it's it was,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, a bad case of judgment to let
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: it keep going. And you mentioned Boone and the coaches
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: not standing up for Jazz but also not quieting him down.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I think you gotta step in right there when you see, Hey,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: this is a tight game. Jazz is really ticked off.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Let's settle him down. Let let's let's say, hey, go
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: to your happy place for a second, right and then
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: to borrow a happy Gilmore parlance, go to your happy place,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: settle it down, and go get him be pissed after
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: the game. Maybe you know, maybe you can, you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: say something to the reporters after the game. Let let
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: them know you're unhappy. But right now is not the time.
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, Derek Kay. Last question here, probably no
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: one more excited to see out of the division Rafael
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Devers than Garrett Cole. I don't know if he was
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: public enemy number one for the for the Yankees fans,
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: but certainly for Garrett Cole. But now that Devers is
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: out of the division. Who are Yankees fans claiming public
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Enemy number one got their sights on.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Jackson Holliday looks like he's coming around.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: He's going to be a problem for years and years.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: You know, Cam and Arrow could be a real.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Problem for a while.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Roman Anthony. I saw his five hundred foot home run
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. I watched his first major league
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: home run. I haven't seen a lot of him other
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: than that, but he's going to be good. I don't
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: think we've identified public Enemy number one right now. It
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: might honestly be Aaron Boom. It might be you know,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: whether he's deserve it or not. I feel like that's
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: that's the way the papers are going. But I think
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: that's to be determined. But it is nice to see
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Raffi out on the West coast, and I hope he
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: has a really nice, long career very far away from that.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: There you go, nice straight bye, boss. Yeah, I would say, yeah,
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: well you mentioned Boonie. Is Vulpi the guy you're hearing
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the most complains on him?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, fans are tough on him right now, and look,
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: he's twenty four years old. So I try not to
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: be too tough on him. I mean, he's still growing
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: as a player. It's very difficult Alex to stop. Sorry,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I was setting my alarm to come on later. You
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: guys got me to come on a little bit earlier.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like he's got room to improve,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and I don't think he's done improving. As Boone always says,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: improvement is not linear for young players. You'll see him
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: go through spurts where he looks really good, it makes
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: an adjustment, and then things kind of settle back in
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and he goes through a long stretch. I wish he
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: wasn't quite so streaky. I feel like he's struggled more
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: defensively this year than we've seen him struggle, especially in
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: big spots. That's been a concern, and you're starting to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: hear more whispers about, oh, maybe we should trade Volpe,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: maybe we should get another shortstop, and I just keep saying,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: who's out there that's better. I mean, there's nobody available
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that's that's better or cheaper than Volty Right now. You
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: got Lombard coming up, but he's sitting two twenty in
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: double A, so he's no threat to Volty, right now,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: so I think you just.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Stick with him.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: I think that the strategy for fans should be to
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: cheer him on, get a little bit of our our
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: trade turner vibes, give the kid a nice ovation, really
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: get behind him, show him some of that love that
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: we showed him when he first came up, and maybe
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: he'll get back to being that player that we saw
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: in the first part of last year when he got
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: on base for thirty four straight games and was doing
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: such a great job in front of so Doo and
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Judge to set the table.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: But since then he's kind of been up and down.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: I agree, I'm with you. I mean, he's definitely, you know,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: at least average, if not above average.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: He's not a superstar.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: And I think some Yanks fans were looking at him,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: you know, as their top prospect, thinking this guy is
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: going to be a superstar, superstar.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Sinatra doesn't say he wants to be middle of the
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: heap or you know, you know, middle of the pack, right,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: it's we want to be number one, top of the list, right,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: That's what we're trained to expect.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: This fans expectations are high, and that's fair.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: And also, by the way, Max freed as a two
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: o five rais not too shabby too, So I want
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: to make it like the world is ending for Yanks fans.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: But much more of this.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: Obviously, every single night with Derek postgame and then you
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: can catch him at least a few times a week
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: before games as well. Takes voicemails, the whole deal. Derek,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: good to see you man.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Good to see you guys too. Take care
