Aaron Judge’s legendary start · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And you're seeing a different and man without want Soto.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Dare I say a more balanced offense. There's certainly more
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: athletic and they're doing a lot of the smaller things
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: right this year.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Justin Shackle joining us right now. You can hear him
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: calling the Yankees and the Mariners. He called the Yankees
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and the A's as well, doing an awesome job. You
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: can hear him on WFN on Yes Network covering the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yanks for years. First time I think on this show
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: justin great to have you all, man, how you doing.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: It? Is my first time pleasure to join you guys.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Doing a great job. I love hearing the calls. Let's
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: go backwards for a moment. How was Sacramento because that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: was your first Yankees game that you ever called on
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: TV and you're calling it in such a weird environment.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I know it was packed there, obviously because you know
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: the owner of the A's loves Aaron Judge, and obviously
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: there's plenty of Yankee fans out there.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: But how was that whole experience for you?
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, from a play by play standpoint, I was getting
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: pcled a lot.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no third deck.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: A little challenging to judge some fly balls because there's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: really like no background there.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: But overall it was it was it was fine.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You know, the wind plays a factor for sure, but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: as far as the ballpark experience in total, it was fine.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Sacramento was a really nice host city. Everybody around the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: ballpark was super kind. They're they're, you know, trying to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: make the situation as comforting as possible, and overall, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: have nothing but nice things to say about you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: what we went through in Sacramento.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Nice to be in Seattle though.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: That is a little different city than Sacramento, justin Does
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: it count for your first game? I have a couple
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: of course for you. First of all, how do you
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: protect your screen when you travel? Make sure people don't
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: see those dirty movies that you're watching while you're traveling,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Because we just had a conversation about that.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: I don't know, I'm figuring it out.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: But second of all, does it count because your first
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: game was in Sacramento and that's a minor league city,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: So does that count as your first big league play
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: by play game?
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: That's a great question.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I did ask myself that I'm gonna say yes. I'm
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: going to say it counts for sure, just to you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: add more to the Ledger. But there was there was
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: something that I definitely felt when I walked into the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Mobile Park and kind of and again like just saw
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the third level of a big league ballpark. And you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I've been here the last few years with the Yankee
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: so it was a familiar territory and it's you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it felt good to be in Seattle. The Yankees have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: had a lot of success here, and you know they're
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: rolling right now. I know, you guys just talked about
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: their home runs. I mean, seventy four and forty one
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: games really impressive anyway you slice it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: All.
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Right, So before before we get into the actual Yankee stuff,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: there's a certain broadcaster that's not a Yankees's affiliate, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Dave Simms took some time off, right, and he got
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: roasted a little bit. I have no problem with Dave
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Simms taking some time off. Why why did he get
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: roasted for taking a couple of days off? I mean
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: all broadcasters take a couple of days off.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Did you see this?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: I did not see this. Oh no, I love Dave Simms.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I love Dave Simms, but he took there was a
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: guy who you know that kind of took some shots.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: It's your dream job. He justin knows what I'm talking about.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Was it Matt Do.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to say his name.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: But he gave him crap.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, he's like, this is Dave simms dream job, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: he's already taking days off.
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: Like, dude, everyone needs days off off.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: We're human, We're human, we need days off.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, I feeled in for him all the time. So
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this is I'm learning this on the fly here. I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: filled in for him all the time. There were two
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: or three people when I used to work at MLB
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that were out all.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Well, Steve's a big league broadcaster. He didn't want to
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: go to Sacramento. Do you blame him?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: No?
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: I bet he's in Seattle.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Nobody calls one sixty two. That's a fact.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: He's a sport dominie.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: He could do whatever he wants. And you know, you know,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: need me to validate that. But we're all human. Yeah,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: we need days off.
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: By the way, it's his revenge series. So Dave's gonna
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: point this series.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Dave Simms ball.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: That's right, that's right, all right.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So let's get deeper into the Yanks right now, justin
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: tell me what you're seeing that's working well for this team.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And then also obviously on the other side of the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: spectrum where the concerns at. I know, we've got Freed
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: pitching tonight. That's probably a good place to start because
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: they nailed that one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not a concern there, that's for sure. Max Freed
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: has been everything and probably more for the Yankees, especially
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: when Garrett Cole went down, he stepped up. I mean
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: he is filled in the ace role as well as
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: you could hope. For Carlos ro Don I feel like
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: he's getting more and more comfortable with each start in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: year three now as a Yankee starting to see Clark
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Schmidt again. He started the season late last night. He
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pitched into the seventh inning. I think that was like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the next step for him as a younger pitcher trying
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to find.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: His way in the big leagues with the type of
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: stuff he has.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It was just the second time in his career where
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: he's posted back to back six inning outings, so you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: knowuring out a way for him to effectively navigate an
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: opposing lineup the third way through. That's been a quality
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: signed for sure. I think ultimately their biggest knee is
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: still another starting pitcher near the back of the rotation.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: They're going to get Luise Heel back. He's about to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: begin a throwing program here, so he's got to still
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: ramp up and do his entire spring training again. But
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I think the biggest need is probably starting, you know,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: another starting pitcher in that rotation.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: The offense, I know, I know Aj mentioned it.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You know, when you run into great pitching when the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: games matter more down the stretching into October, the real
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: test is there. But right now, the games you're playing
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in front of you, I think you're seeing a different
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and man without Wan Soto. Dare I say a more
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: balanced offense. There's certainly more athletic and they're doing a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: lot of the smaller things right this year.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: Okay, because it's not at a highlight, but where does like
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: everyone remembers that that inning, that inning, nothing to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: with their bats, balanced line up, anything like that. How
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: to do with their fielding? Is that the biggest because
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: they're still kind of deficient in that area. I think
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: they've upgraded. I think Paul gold Schmidt has helped that
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: a lot. Because Rizzo wasn't having a great year when
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: he was there have. Is that the one area that
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: they can't upgrade. You can't just go and find gold
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: at the trade deadline, like you can't find gold glove
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: infielders to plug in.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Well, look through forty one. You're right, gold Schmid's made
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a huge difference at first base. I think you got to,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I guess, maybe see more of what you're getting from
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the entire infield as we lead to or toward the deadline.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I still think pitching is like, if you're gonna address
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: one big need, if you're gonna give up some type
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: of prospect capital, it's gonna be for another starting pitcher.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think a big question after that one
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: inning in the World Series is like, Hey, what's that
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: gonna do to this team? Are they gonna get tougher?
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Is that gonna harden them up a little bit more
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and serve them really well for the future. That was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: what obviously the hope was if you were around the team.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I think that was one of the bigger questions that
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: you probably had for the group as a whole. What
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: would be the residual effect of that World Series outcome?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: So far, so good. I think Paul Goldschmid has a
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: lot to do with that. On both sides of the ball.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He's making really nice plays at first base. He's making
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it easier on the other infielders. Yeah, maybe they are
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: gonna press the need for another infield. We obviously know
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: what happened with Oswaldo Cabrera last night. Third base is
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Openisham Junior is out right now.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Second base is open. But they're gonna wait and see.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I feel and again, ultimately, if you have to ask,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: if forget to choose between a big upgrade in the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: infield or address the rotation, I'd be going with starting pitching.
• 7:54

• 8:55
  Speaker 7: All right, So, how bad is this injury? And not
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: in the sense of like we saw how gruesome it was,
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: but how bad is it in the sense that they
• 9:03
  Speaker 7: win the game? But the feeling in the clubhouse, the like,
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: just the overall like because he's not the superstar on
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the team, but I know what kind of effervescent personality
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: he brings and that smile he brings. How bad of
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: a hit to the vibes on this team is as
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Walter Cabrera again hit last night?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, so I left the ballpark right after the game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I didn't go in the clubhouse, but for everything I
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: heard like they play music obviously, like every team does
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: after they come up with a win.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: There was no music there.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: And you're right, you you talked about the type of
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: person as Waldo Cabrera is. The It's funny because he's
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: so unique in the sense that the human and the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: player blent together because he brings the same energy.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And joy on and off the field.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And I think he affects so many around the Yankees organization.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You know, not yeah, yeah, you're not a superstar player.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: But he came up a few years ago, he had
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: a hot start. They plugged and played him almost everywhere defensively,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and he held his own for sure, and he's playing
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: an effective third base now, came to spring training, won
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the job, and it is just it's a real bummer
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: to see him go down like this because the ballpark
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: last night was just stone cold silent. And I call
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: boxing guys, I've seen some you know, not to get
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: two graphic, but like when when I'm ringside and I
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: see like a boxer get knocked down on their head,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: smack off the mat, it's it's it's.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Awful to watch. Last night was was awful to take in.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And there's you know, it's tough to root for a
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: better person than Oswaldo Cabrera because his his joy, I think,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: his mentality, the attitude he brings, it's it's infectious. It
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: makes you stop and think about whatever problems you may have.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And again this isn't a hyperbole here, whatever problem that
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: you may be going through, once you see him and
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the joy and the attitude and the smiles that he brings,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you kind of say to yourself, man, h nothing.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Going on in my life is too bad.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: When when you're around people like that, they kind of
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: put things in perspective for you.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: Justin before I got to Aaron Judge, it was boomersiasin
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: and some Bengals fans wish he would have taken the
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: Super Bowl off they lost in the forty nine or
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: sorry too soon eleven? Well was the eleven for twenty
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: five for one hundred and forty four interception? So sorry,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: uh too soon? Maybe I don't know, but yeah, it
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: was Boomer not mad Dog. So I apologize to Mad Dog,
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: which is something I never thought i'd say in my life.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: But okay, anyways, why the teams pitched to Aaron Judge?
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: But why why?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I know? Why?
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Why are they pitching to Aaron Judge. I don't care
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: who hits behind him, but why would you let him
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: at any time get a a swing off and hit
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: a home run. I know pictures make mistakes for human
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: but why why are we pitching to him?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not going to keep asking that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: It's too much fun calling.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you to take it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Look, they keep pitching to him, He's gonna hit him out.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: He's gonna have impactful swings. You're watching greatness, man, I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you know, it really hit me a couple of years ago,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: like kind of like just slap me in the face,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: like this is truly an all time great and you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: get a front row seat, you get the best seat
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in the house to watch them.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: It's it's incredible. I think the coolest.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Part is that he forces so many people around him
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: and not just inside the clubhouse, to you know, be
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: great and try and elevate their game and rise up
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: in order to you know, meet his moments.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: That's certainly the case for us in the booth. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: it's so much fun.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Uh Yeah, he got on base four times last night,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like regular night at the office, and I know, I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: know he takes so much pride in the batting average,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: obviously hitting over four hundred. But this is a guy
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: who has often talked about in the past, how much
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: you know the the stats that you know, I grew
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: up with batting average, runs batted in. You you take
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a closer look at those, those are the things that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you know he does pay attention to as well. And
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: watching guys like you know and Albert Pools and Miguel Cabrera. Man,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: he's he's right up there now, he's right up there
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: with some of the best right handed hitters of the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: last quarter century.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: My thing is is just you look at all these
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: pitches that he's sitting out there, all out over the plate.
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: Does anybody ever pitch him in? Does anybody ever throw
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: Aaron Judge inside? Because every ball he hits is I mean,
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: I know he does pull some breaking balls every once
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: in a while, but every like every home runch we
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: just showed was a ball out over the plate and
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: he just extended center to right, especially Yankee Stadium. Good lord,
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: But I mean, he can just shake a ball and
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: it still goes down the right field line for home run.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: But does anybody ever pitch him inside?
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Well, how would you, how would you call for pitches
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: against them?
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: You gotta you gotta show him something in I'm sorry,
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: I know there always got hot zone in there, but
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: I think the hot zone is a lot is on
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: breaking balls that don't do a lot. I mean, I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: if I'm you gotta you gotta give him something inside.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: At some point in every game I watch, it's like
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: slider away, fastball away, slider away, and he's just like,
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep leaning out there until they make a
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: mistake and then I'm gonna shoot him right center for
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: a homer.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: What's wild?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Is it feel like they're going by the book from
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like twenty seventeen, twenty six, twenty sixteen, when he first
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: broke in.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: You know he would chase those pitches he hit one
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: seventy nine.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the evolution of a great hitter like Aaron Judge,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it's changed over time.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: That's what I think.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: When I see those those breaking pictures of those sliders
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: kind of tail off the outside part of the play
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: he spits on him now a completely different hitter. You're
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: not gonna see him chase these things anymore. He's become
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: again the elite of elite, so.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I'm with you, but I'm not questioning it. I can't
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: question what you're running for it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: You're runing for it.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: It's too much fun.
• 14:55
  Speaker 6: He's a Homer. I got it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: You're a Homer. And that's okay because we're all should
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: be homer when he comes up to the plane.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Am I supposed to feel in this situation?
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: Right? No, that's it. So that's why I'm gonna ask
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: my next question. Is he a Hall of Famer?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny you talk about You brought up Mike,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Chris mad Dog Russo. Okay, New York Kid grew up
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: listening to Mike and Chris. It's just like embedded into me.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They got to have six Hall of Fame worthy seasons,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: seven Hall of Fame worthy seasons, Like that's the magic number.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: He's right there, Aaron Judge is right there. And and yes,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: I mean it's.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Only a matter of the day's coming off the calendar
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: at this point because he's just going to continue this
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: incredible production.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So yes, in my book, he's already a Hall of Famer.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: No get in. If he just continues to do what
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: he's doing, He's in. He's in.
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: He played in New York. He's the captain of the
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: year Yankees. So they's already checked two boxes, okay, and
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: he's really good with the media. There's three boxes and
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: then four he's a really good player. So he's gonna
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: get in.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Judge, or for how long?
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: Of course, what do you mean for how long?
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: How long does he doesn't mean if he just he
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: finishes his contract and he has average years he's in.
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: Okay, he got he's got one thousand, ninety one hits.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: Right now, he's got three hundred and twenty nine homers.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: It's looked at differently, just way different.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: How many more years does he have on his contract?
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: How many more years does he have? Four more years?
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: Five more? How many more years?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Justin you know this, there's a line that most voters
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: use nowadays. You can agree with it or not, but
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: they're looking at stuff like war, career, war, And I'm
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: pretty sure he's already above the number needed.
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: He's at fifty six for baseball reference.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Although he did bring up Blue Winaker yesterday, he had
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: like seventy five and is done in so just definitely.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Right, a different time period, no, a different seventy five war,
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: seventy five war, but My point is is if he
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: has what six more years left on his contract and
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: I forget what year whenever he was almost when Arson
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: judged on Simon the Giants.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: So if he has six more years left in his
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: contract and he hits twenty five homers a year, that
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: puts him at almost five hundred homers. You don't think
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: if he hits four hundred and ninety homers and does
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: what he keeps doing, he's not gonna be in.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: He's in. He's gonna be in.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, he's in fifty plus justin I think generally
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: gives you good consideration. Then you factor in what he's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: done during that time period, and yes, he's gonna play
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: for years.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: I don't even think it's a.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: It will help me if he wins a World Series,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: though maybe not for the Hall of Fame, but for
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: Yankee fans to just let it go kind of like
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: you know, there's certain people that just need to win
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: that thing if you're on a certain team, because the
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Yankees have to win it to win or nothing.
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: He's got to get the World Series. He's got to
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: get the World Series.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as far as the Hall of Fame goes, I'm
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: with I'm with you, Scott. I think that's how they
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: you'll probably look at it on that note, but I
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: think Aaron Judge would agree with you. He wants the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: World Series, he wants he wants the championship title. And
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I think that's why you always hear him say yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I'm not a finished product yet, Like, ude, you're hitting
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: four h nine. He's like, yeah, there's still room for improvement.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: So I think that's what's fueling in there.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Hey, justin last one from someone obviously, I've known you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for a long time now, and I think we're in
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: a similar age.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, you've been, in my mind, one of the.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Better broadcasters' voices the whole deal, in our in our
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: in baseball right for a long time. So without going
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: through your whole life story, I just think your story
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is super helpful for a lot of aspiring broadcasters out
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: there and how difficult it is, especially obviously to to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: make it in New York. But can you just give
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: either one tip or one you know, kind of appreciation
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: moment to point out for people that have followed your
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: story for a while, Like, Yeah, this guy's crushing it
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: and now he gets the call the big stage Yankee
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: games in the top market in the country.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Man, thank you for first and foremost, thank you one
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: piece of advice, I mean all the time.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Don't ever put your head on your pillow and think
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: what if or have any regret. And you know, there's
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of noise out there for sure, in this
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: social media age, and it's assessbol let's call it what
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it is. For sure, I would say, I would say,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: in order to not listen to the people that don't matter,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: you know, never never look for the criticism from someone.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: You'd never take advice from it. But overall, five hundred
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: percent every time, that's yesterday, five hundred percent all the time.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It takes discipline and obviously time management. But if you
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: blend the two together and you give it to your all,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: you're gonna feel good about yourself at the end of
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're doing it right.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: That's a good call too, because it is.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: By the way, I just I don't know justin story
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: like you do. But can we also just have people
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: understand that you don't art is like the Yankees play
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: by play guy, Okay, Because there's kids that come up
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: to me that have seen this show and see me
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: on Fox and they say, you know, man, you start,
• 20:08

• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I'm like, well, you got to go to like some
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: little town. And I was obviously fortunate because I played
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I'm a different animal than normally play by play guys. Yes,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: but like you got to go to I don't know,
• 20:22
