  Speaker 1: All right, well, this is another little Yankee update on
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the One Leg Up Network on how the Yanks need
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to have one leg up in the Al East. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it's interesting since this podcast about Jasanda Minge's batting leadoff, Well,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: he's bat leadoff now for the last three nights, last
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: game against the Mets, in the first two against Seattle,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and the media cut up with him about being the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: leadoff hitter the last three nights.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Jason Prey, which ways do you think your skill set
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: fits the leadoff spot?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I mean no able to walk and I get those
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: hits and run the base. I think I think the
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: the helming that spot will be to be able to
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: performance a leadoff What does it mean.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: To you that the manager has faith in you to
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: be the leadoff hitter?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, might get trusted on you. I mean it
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: may let me want to play hord and made me
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: successful for.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: That audio curve of Yes Network. And there you go.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: After another Yankee win last night, and I feel like
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: the baseball gods are smiling. Look what they did the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: last few days. They put jasonet leadoff. They've put Gastishom
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at second, and that's pretty much given confidence to any
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: pitcher on the mound. Now that the zipfield solid with
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Peraza at third and then the main the toughest decision.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But I knew when DJ Lemayu was pinch hipped by
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Trent Grisham last week on July second, that that might
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: be the end. And it took nearly a week and
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: exactly a week for that to happen. He has now
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: been dfayed, but again it's a business move. It's he
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: can't be too personal when you're struggling right now, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's the way a team should
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: be run anyways, more business, uh than personal. But I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think they gave DJ a lot of chances to pass
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: back and come back, and yes, his bat was heating up.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But in the long scheme of things, the Yanks making
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: this move cutting him or I guess dfaing him to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: better the long run picture for this team. And I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: do believe that means now that there could be a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: true move at the deadline, maybe for Suarez. I don't
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: know yet, but very very interesting thing since that podcast
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: on Sunday have happened with Jasam batting lead off, the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yanks winning.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Jazz moving this second.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Who's an All Star by the way and now DJ
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: being DFAD and then you got Cam Schlitzler, who had
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: an incredible night last night, striking out cal Rally twice.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Cal Rally twice in a seven K major League baseball debut.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Pretty awesome there.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Of course, last week we had Kershaw's three thousand, and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Nick Tyrrel's got a lists going on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: about the slit list if you will, of who's he's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: struck out. Let's get him to one hundred, but I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: think down the road there could be three thousand strikeouts
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: on that list. Maybe a bold prediction here for his
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: after his first career star perfrom when I saw last night.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Nasty stuff, and the Yanks right to keep him and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: call him up and start am to be part of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: this rotation that does need a little help at times.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So very interesting moves the last few days, and it
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: looks like it's paying off.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: The Yanks now.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Winning three in a row. They're hitting the ball, they're pitching.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Just gotta keep the good vibes going Yankee Stadium ahead
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of the anniversary. Mister Simon is passing. You know, I thought,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and I always believe they should win July fourth. It
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: is mister Simon's birthday and at least do something damn
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: good now to make the anniverse was passing, you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: special and that he his work continues, if you will,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: fifteen years after his passing. Now, speaking of working hard,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we know that as Waldo Cabert is working his way
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: back to the league and back to the Yankees, is
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in this rehabing process and recovery process after that horrible
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: play in Seattle. Well, I caught up with just in
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Time Baseball, who you might have heard earlier in the week,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and this was his update on Oswaldo Cabrera just a
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: couple of days ago.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Keep in touch.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I definitely keep in touch with Oswaldo personally and some
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of the other players.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: And you know, yeah I saw I saw him recently.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: So how's he doing. Give us an update for those
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: that are wondering how he's doing.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So he is, as you can imagine. I know you
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: met him at our camp, which was awesome. I'm glad
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you came. I'm glad that worked out.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: Oh man, he's such a great person.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: He's a great I mean, he's just he's just phenomenal.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: It's just funomenal. And he's got such a great attitude.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's a chance he can come back
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: for the playoffs.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I think there's definitely a chance.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe he's coming off the bench, but I think realistically
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it'll be back for the sprame.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: But I hope I'm wrong. I hope he's back for October.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: He'd be a big spark. Oh man, he would be
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: a spark they need right now.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: When I started One Leg Up on Sports, it was
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to give updates like this as much as I can.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, I wait into politics and more so trying
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to cover adaptability, but it is still fun to have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: that sports update beat because the Yanks are as an
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: intense state part of my life. But I feel like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I've been in that organization now for almost twenty five
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: years and it's just been so welcoming every time and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: go to the stadium. So yeah, they're part of my
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: life and they're always it's always fun to update, and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: this is a reason. They are a reason why I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: started the Sports Hour many years ago, fifteen to sixteen
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: years ago now and why I keep it going here
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on One Leg Up on Sports. But I'm gonna work
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: on the daily updates as much as I can because
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: this is getting fun again. You know, this stretch that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: we had and the Yanks had over the last couple
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of weeks has been rough. But but when you make
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the right moves and bring him, you know, having those
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Waldough healthy, if he can be healthy by October, would
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: be something special and quite a return for that kid.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what he mentioned the camp and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if you hadn't heard this, here was my interview with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Waldough from that justin Time Baseball camp in August of
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: I'm here with us Waldo Cabara as Waldough. First, well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: thanks for coming to justin Time Baseball? What's the meaning
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: to come in this camp today?
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: Thanks a love for me, brother, because be here in
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: the camp having from with the kids who was trying
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: to get to that guys or whatever. You be here
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: with the kids. I know they're going to keep this
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: experiencing their life. And you know that's a really nice
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: team that if they would remember.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: If others one baseball question. A sacrifice fly on Wednesday night,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: how did you know the score all the way from second?
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: I was quite in a moment, I mean that moment
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: when when I saw that fly ball, like so deep.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I used to try to take my turn to go
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: to home play early. And when I saw the coach,
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: he was giving me the hands off, like okay, you
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: can keep going. I was like, okay, fuor let's take it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And there we're hoping to see I play every day.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And that play in Seattle was his typical scrappy running
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to get the run scored, and as you know, when
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he did get injured, when that horrible injury occurred, he
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: still had the wits about him to ask judge if
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the run counted. I mean, you can't get any more grittier,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: anymore team player, any more hard worker and really gutsy
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and and caring for his craft than that. But you
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: mentioned he mentioned the kids, and two kids that have
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: truly been impacted by Oswalda Carrera are the Twin Stripe reporter.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, they love that guy and Oswaldo shares that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: same sentiment with them. And at Pinstripe Pride twenty twenty
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: five Hall of Fame signings, the Twin Strip reporters were
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: kind enough to ask me who my favorite wait yankee was,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: and I turned the table on take a listen to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: get dinner with any yankee who would it be actually
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: had Carrera. I just love the guy who's got a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: great personality. Seems like a yeah, yeah, amazing, who inspires
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you when you watch the team. But who's your most
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: inspirasible player to watch it?
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe as well as Avera, but yeah him Junior. Yeah,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: he's very nice too.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: I would think we'll be he's like the bench defensive
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: player in the ages.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: I would say, and he's.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And if you've never heard of the Twin Stripe Reporters,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: there's these two eight year old twins and they go
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: around Yankee Stadium and other events in pinstripe suits and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: they have taken the media by storm. They've taken New
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: York City by storm through their passion for the Yankees.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: So their knowledge of the Yankees at eight years old
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and always fun to get to see them and their
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: dedicated mom as well whenever an event happens. And we
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: just saw them fanatics fast a couple of weeks ago.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: So keep on the go, work voice Twin Stripe Reporters
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: very much worth a follow, and thanks for including me
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in your video journalism there. That is awesome. Well that's
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: my update for now on how the Yanks have one
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: leg up in this AL East. Just the leadoff consistency
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: at the top is where I'm going with.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: And then, of course.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: The moves they've been making recently, and I think it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: setting up for a pretty big deadline. Brian Cashman, Yes,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: we're saying they're going to town. We'll see what that means.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: But for now, the baseball guys are smiling on this
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: team because of the moves they're making. They're making baseball
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: moves and you need to in this kind of situation,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and I think it'll pay off in the long run. Look,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I think I said on Sunday
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it might be disheartening Freyan Evans will lose a seven
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: game lead now in July, but it's better to lose
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: it in July, rebuild it, then in September when there's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: no time to rebuild it. So the slump happened at
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the right time. Now y'all get out of it, and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I think they are. I think that they're finally making
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the moves needed to be at the top again and
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: have one leg up not only on the AL East
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and the American League, but one leg up in October period.
