A highlight from 143: The Meuse-Argonne Offensive (pt.2) Breaking the Kriemhilde Line
"It's just past 6 a .m. on a cold, misty morning, October 8th, 1918. We're with the doughboys of the U .S. 82nd Division's 328th Infantry as they battle their way westward through the thick trees and rough terrain of the Argonne Forest. And I don't say battle lightly. The Germans are putting up a fierce fight. Right now, the 328th is on Hill 223, a position they managed to take last night. But before them, the triangular -shaped Eyre Valley is filled with death. German shells are dropping like yesterday's rain, while German machine guns seem to be mowing down every brown -clad Yankee in the first platoon. Good God. If these Americans are going to survive, let alone have any success, they're going to have to take out these machine gun nests. The task falls to G Company, and amid the battle's chaos, Sergeant Bernard Early is ordered to slip off on the left and flank these gunners. The sergeant gathers 16 men, 3 corporals and 13 privates, and together they stealthily move through the thick brush. The hope is that they can sneak around the German machine gun nests and capture them from behind. It seems to be working. They make it through the brush and ascend a tree -covered ridge without being noticed. Here, the 17 doughboys begin to debate their next move when they see two Germans passing through the woods. Noting their foes' Red Cross bands, the Yankees hold their fire, instead ordering them to stop. But both refuse. A doughboy then fires, after which the whole detachment pursues. The two terrified Germans get away, but as the Yanks continue down another ridge, they soon stumble upon a small cabin -like structure. It's a command post. Dozens of Germans are here. Stretcher bearers, officers, military men of all stripes. Not one of them is armed. Bernard and his men emerge from hiding, rifles drawn, ready to take the whole group captive. With little choice, the Germans yell out, Comrade! and quickly comply. But just as the Yanks have their prisoners lined up, an observant Bosch machine gun nest opens fire. Six bullets rip through Sergeant Bernard early. Two corporals and six privates go down too, as do several German POWs. The survivors, American and German alike, dash for cover. This includes the lone surviving American corporal. A fair -featured, freckled, lanky Tennessean, Corporal Alvin York. Nothing about Alvin's hiding place is intentional. He dived for safety like everyone else. But by coincidence of where he was standing when the gunners opened fire, the corporal finds himself somewhat removed from the rest of his detachment, on a hill not far from that sad looking command post. His position offers him protection, and better yet, none of those German gunners can fire on him without exposing themselves in the process. And this is when Alvin's childhood days of hunting wild turkeys in the woods of Tennessee pay off. With German machine guns still firing, Alvin lies down in the prone position, aims his rifle, and pulls the trigger. A German gunner drops dead. The Tennessean pulls back the bolt on his rifle, ejects the spent case, and again, takes aim and fires. He does this again, and again, and again, using up several clips and eventually rising to a kneeling position. He doesn't dare let up, knowing that the minute he does, a German bullet will end him. Suddenly, six bayonet -bearing Germans, perhaps 25 yards out, come running down the hill at Alvin. It's here that his hunter instincts truly kick in, leading him to fire at the most distant of his assailants first, as the Tennessean will later write in his diary, and in his own local dialect, no less. I ticked off the sixth man first, then the fifth, then the fourth, then the third, and so on. That's the way we shoot wild turkeys at home. You see, we don't want the front ones to know that we're getting the back ones, and then they keep on coming until we get them all. Of course, I hadn't time to think of that. I guess I just naturally did it. I know, too, that if the front ones wavered, or if I stopped them, the rear ones would drop down and pump a volley into me and get me. But with his five -round clip half spent before these Germans even began their charge, Alvin has no time to reload as the front few close in. Again, instinct seems to drive him. He drops his empty rifle, grabs his .45 Colt, and manages to shoot every single one of them. He then picks up his rifle and continues shooting machine gunners. One of the German POWs, a lieutenant that Alvin mistakes as a major, and who speaks excellent English thanks to his years working in Chicago before the war, calls out to the Tennessean. English? No, not English. What? American. Good lord. The officer is stunned. The Brits are known for their highly trained sharpshooters, but how is this rookie doughboy such a gifted marksman? No matter. He's deadly. Nothing else matters right now. The lieutenant calls out, If you won't shoot anymore, I will make them give up. Alvin agrees, and the German lieutenant blows a whistle. Nearly a hundred Bosch soldiers come forward dropping their guns. One decides to throw a grenade at Alvin. He misses, but Alvin doesn't. As he'll later recall, I had to tick him off. Point made. No one else tries anything or complains as Alvin makes them carry out the nine American dead and wounded. These hundred or so Germans are now his prisoners. The German lieutenant tells Alvin that the way back to the American line is down a gully. No. Alvin might not know these French woods, but he knows mountains and forests. His sense of direction tells him the man is lying. Thrusting his colt into the lieutenant's back, the Tennessean and his seven fellow healthy doughboys march off with their massive train of captive Germans. They'll pick up yet more prisoners and American escorts as they make their way back to division headquarters in the village of Chateau -Chary. After delivering his prisoners, Alvin York returns to the 328th. The regiment's commanding general greets him, explaining, Well, York, I hear you've captured the whole damn German army. The Tennessean will later recall his answer. I told him I only had 132. Welcome to History That Doesn't Suck. I'm your professor, Greg Jackson, and I'd like to tell you a story. It's impossible to say how many Germans Alvin York sent to the grave in the Argonne Forest that early October morning. Some say it was 28. Conservative estimates go as low as 15. Regardless of the exact figure, Alvin's guns were the quick and the Germans were the dead. He silenced 35 Bosch machine guns and, as we know, took 132 prisoners. The Tennessean will soon receive the Medal of Honor and become a veritable celebrity back in the States. Quite a curious twist for a God -fearing man who had previously been a conscientious objector to the war. But that's the story of Alvin York. Alvin's is but one of many tales worth telling as we come to our second episode on the Meuse -Argonne Offensive. No one else is going to come across like a Hollywood action hero, but today, as we push almost but not quite to the end of this, the biggest campaign that the U .S. Army has yet fought, we'll see American forces push forward with the same Alvin York spirit and grit as they try to crack the thick, layered, and crucial German fortifications known as the Krimhilde Line. But as the Yanks make this push, their advancements, coupled with those of their allies on other battlefields, will make German leaders realize that this war is not only coming to its end, as the Bosch already know, but that they can't drag this out. It's time to come to the negotiation table. It's a winding path getting to this breaking point. On our way today, we'll again join flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker in the skies, see an enormous reorganization of the American Expeditionary Force, or AEF, witness yet another shouting match between General Blackjack Pershing and Allied Supreme Commander Ferdinand Foch, visit General Douglas MacArthur at one of his hardest, most heroic, yet devastating moments in this war, and listen in as some Native American doughboys become the first code talkers. That's right, well before World War II. In the end, we'll see if the Americans can turn last episode's frustrations and failures into victories.

"Meanwhile, Douglas MacArthur is still struggling to manage that same accomplishment as Chatillon. As V Corps Commander Charles Summerall relieves the commander of the 83rd Brigade for his failures on the evening of October 15th, he also tells Doug that he wants Chatillon taken no matter what by 6 p.m. tomorrow. The 84th Brigade Commander renews his vow, victory or the death of his whole command and himself. And he means it. Back at his headquarters briefly amid this fight, a reporter notices a fresh bullet hole in the left sleeve of Doug's beloved turtleneck sweater. When the reporter asks about it, the Brigadier General replies, There are times when even general officers have to be expendable. Still, Doug knows he can't just charge at the Germans. There has to be a smarter way. And thanks to some new intelligence, he intends to find it tonight. It's just after midnight in the early, still dark morning hours of October 16th, 1918. We're somewhere in the rough, hilly terrain of Côte-de-Chatillon as General Douglas MacArthur leads a reconnaissance group through the brush toward the Germans' barbed wire protected lines. Doug has heard reports of a gap in the wire and now he's hoping to find this weakness so that his men can exploit it with the sunrise. The doughboys crouch down as they slide through the grass and crawl through the mud. Suddenly, German artillery comes blasting their way. Instinctively, the scattering Yankees dive into shell holes for cover as these instruments of death light up the otherwise blackened sky. Ah, and it's amid the flashes of light brought by the Germans' attack that he sees it. Doug sees the weak spot in the barbed wire. As the barrage ends, the general climbs out of his hole to find his troops and get them back to their lines. Quietly, he addresses one doughboy. The soldier doesn't respond. Well, everyone's exhausted. Maybe he's asleep. Doug climbs into the shell hole and shakes the young man. And that's when he realizes the soldier isn't sleeping. The doughboy is dead. There's no time to think about it. Doug has to get the others out. He crawls to the next hole. Again, he calls out. He shakes and finds the man is dead. This repeats again and again. Other than himself, Doug soon realizes that every doughboy in his entire patrol is dead. The stunned commander makes his way back to the American lines alone. How did he live when all those boys died? He can't make sense of it. The best he can do is leave it up to God. Speaking about this later, he'll simply say, It was God. He led me by the hand, the way he led Joshua. That gap in the wire proves to be the ace these doughboys needed. The 84th Brigade exploits it hours later that same morning. General Douglas MacArthur later summarizes this long and hard day of fighting in his Reminiscences, writing, Won the approach to final victory. A hard-fought victory indeed. Doug reports the capture of Côte de Châtillon and after almost four days without a wink of sleep, falls into a 16-hour slumber. The exhausted Brigadier General is recommended for promotion and the Distinguished Service Cross, but he'll never forget the heavy loss of life this victory cost his brigade and the larger Rainbow Division. Merely speaking of Châtillon will make this future World War II commander emotional for the rest of his life. But as the casualties mount, the Americans have turned the tide. The daunting Crème Hilde line is cracked. As we know, the 32nd Division punched through at Côte d'Amarie on the American right. General Douglas MacArthur's doughboys have done so at Côte de Châtillon in the American center. And meanwhile, I Corps' 77th Division has taken a crucial placement at Grand Prix called Saint-Jouven on the American left. All three of these objectives seemed impossible only a week ago. Meanwhile, the German Army is feeling battered by the Americans' constant onslaught. Lieutenant Otto Leis of the German 29th Division writes about this time, saying, But still, that doesn't mean the Meuse-Argonne Offensive is over. Far from it, and during these same mid-October days leading to Hunter Liggett taking command of the U.S. 1st Army on the 16th, the newly promoted Lieutenant General is touring the front lines, talking and listening to troops and officers alike before returning to his headquarters to devise his plans. That's the kind of man that Hunter is. Slow, deliberate, and methodical. Emblematic of this is how the General occupies his mind at the start of battles. By playing solitaire. That's right. As a commander, he can't do much at that point apart from wait for news on how his plans are playing out. So, he occupies his mind with the card game. Come October 17th, Hunter makes a big decision for his new command, the American 1st Army. Having studied its recent advancements and personally seeing how exhausted the troops are, the mustachioed Lieutenant General wants his army to simply hold its present line for now. General Blackjack Pershing doesn't love this. He knows that the French, especially Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau, are going to hate this. But Hunter has reached his limit with the AEF commander's interference. The 1st Army is his now, so Hunter Liggett tells Blackjack to, and I quote, go away and forget it. To his credit, Blackjack does exactly that. He returns to his central responsibilities as an administrator, politician, and diplomat, representing the army to both the Supreme War Council and to Washington. Still, Blackjack assigns his aid to keep tabs on Hunter. But even with their recent wins and current strong positions, the Yankees are facing a serious problem with their communications. The Germans have broken their radio codes, tapped their telephone lines, and are capturing 1 in 4 runners. The Americans need a reliable means of communication. Commanders will soon realize it's been hiding right under their noses.
The Financial Guys
A highlight from The Political Strategy Behind Open Borders with George Papadopoulos
"But you need the right leadership. The Biden administration clearly has an agenda to reshape America in a form that makes it unrecognizable. I think if Trump does not get elected, or at least a Republican leader who does not, who has, who does not have those populist, economic nationalist ideas, America will never be the same. USA, home of the brave. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, and my fellow citizens, America's comeback starts right now. From the land of the free and the brave. USA, I love my country. All right, welcome back to Financial Guys podcast here on the Financial Guys media network. Mike Sbarrozza in studio for another exclusive interview today. We have George Papadopoulos joining us. This is, I think, his second time on the show, so we're looking forward to talking to him again. It's been a little bit. George, how are you? Doing great, Mike. Thanks a lot for having me. Thank you for coming on. So I'm gonna start, we're recording this on 9 -11, so I'm gonna start there. Obviously, a very, very sad, tragic day in American history. And, you know, I think the one thing I keep saying is, one thing that did come from 9 -11 was the country uniting and coming together in that moment. On, you know, 9 -12, 9 -13, 9 -14, and 2001, and very, for many years after that, America was stronger than ever and came together. I think that's one thing to look at with that day. Obviously, such a tragic, horrible day, but where were you? What were your thoughts about 9 -11? Yeah, no, it's incredible how many years have passed. I was actually a freshman in high school, I think, in biology class. It's one of those moments that I don't think anybody around the world will ever forget where they were. And I actually had some families who were directly affected in my high school. Even though I grew up in Chicago, their parents were working in New York in the trade centers at the time. And, you know, to learn later that some parents had actually been killed in the attack, you know, of course, affected my high school and me personally because it made it very real. And then, like you said, there was this rally around the flag effect. Of course, Americans united. It was a beautiful moment. We saw what happened with Mayor Giuliani at Yankee Stadium, with President Bush. You know, it was just an incredible moment. It was surreal, it was sad. It was patriotic, and it really changed our history.
What Bitcoin Did
A highlight from Orange Pilling Through Sport with Steven Nelkovski & Patrick O'Sullivan
"The beautiful thing about Bitcoin is if it works with baseball, it works with anything. If you think about value for value, the model, it changes everything. Right. Hello. How are you all? Hello from Lebanon. What a cool country this place is. It's really strange. As I travel around the world, sometimes I go to these places where you worry about the economic situation, you end up meeting the most amazing, incredible people, most amazing resilient people, and Lebanon is exactly that. So I cannot wait to get this film out. Anyway, welcome to the What Bitcoin Did podcast, which is brought to you by the legends at Iris Energy, the largest NASDAQ listed Bitcoin miner using 100 % renewable energy. I'm your host Peter McCormack, and today we have Perth Heat on the show. We've got CEO Stephen and chief Bitcoin officer Patrick, Patrick O 'Sullivan. I was going to try and say Stephen's name. I think it's Nelkowski, Nelkowski, I think Stephen Nelkowski. Danny, what is it? Nelkowski. We've never had Danny on an intro before. Nelkowski. Yes. CEO Stephen Nelkowski. Now I've known Stephen for quite some time. When we announced Rael Bedford, he'd already announced his Perth Heat Bitcoin project, and then I met him out in Miami. He gave me a jersey, and we've kind of been knocking back DMs on Twitter for this whole time sharing ideas, talking about what they're up to, what we're up to. There is so much alignment between the Perth Heat baseball team and what they're doing in Australia and what we're doing with Rael Bedford over in the UK. And so yeah, I've been keeping an eye on their progress, been impressed with everything they're doing. They're definitely a little bit ahead of us, but there's so much alignment between us and them. And I know not everybody loves the football side of things, but this Bitcoin and sports thing, I'm telling you, it's so important. It's important on so many levels, there's so many chances to orange pill people by meeting them where they're at. And I'm telling you, Bitcoin and sports is going to be big. So give me your feedback. Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy the show. Absolutely loved it. Steve is a legend. Patrick is absolutely beavering away like a legend trying to get all the Bitcoin stuff going for them. I'm going to be nicking some of their ideas. Hopefully, we will have some cool ideas. They can nick as well. But yes, let me know your feedback. Let me know what you think. It's hello at whatbitcoindid .com. Welcome, brother. Good to be on. Who's your friend? This is the chief Bitcoin officer of the Perth Heat. You actually the chief Bitcoin officer? That's it. That's the title. Chief Bitcoin officer. That's all I do. That's what I'm trying to get Ben Ark to do for us. You know Ben Ark? Yes. He doesn't even like football. But he comes along. He gets the whole thing. Great role to have. Emerging role. Yeah. You saw that job ad for that Bulgarian team. Yeah. That's amazing. Yeah. We've got a call with them. Joe Hall's trying to get me to talk to them. But there's two upcoming Bitcoin football teams, young whippersnappers. The league is expanding quickly. We've had a couple of recent inquiries from teams in Europe wanting to speak about what we've done with the baseball team. But as we've said so many times on Twitter and in comments that the Bitcoin sports league is a lot closer than what most people think. There's a lot of interest. Yeah. You beat us to it. I think you beat us to it. We had a couple of weeks between us, I think. Was it that close? It was. There was a nose between, I think, the two announcements. We were early November. I think you were late November, early December, something like that. We're talking 21, aren't we? 21? 20 said? Yeah. It was 21. Because I think I announced - November 21? Yeah. I think I announced December 21. Yeah. And we took over the team in April 22. Yes. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just beat us. Justin. So many things have changed since then as well in so many ways. What we thought we'd be doing in two years has just dramatically changed so quickly. It's awesome. There's loads we can get into and we're going to. But let's just do a bit of background stuff just for people listening so we can build the picture of what we're doing. So, like, introduce yourself, what you do, and yourself. I know we know you're the Bitcoin officer, but like, and then just tell people about Perth Heat, who they are, and then we'll build from there. Yeah, easy. So my name's Steven. I'm the chief executive of the Perth Heat, who are Australia's most successful baseball team. We've won 15 national titles. We've had 34 players who have played Major League Baseball. We've got an exceptional relationship with the Tampa Bay Rays, who send us out six to each eight players Australian summer. And these are top end draft picks. So one of the players they sent us last season, Junior Caminero, is on the verge of playing in the big leagues right now. So they send us the best of the best in terms of their young talent. And we build a squad and we play a season in the Australian summer. We've got a history of winning. We've got a history of producing great players. We're also the Bitcoin baseball team. And it's been, yeah, it's been an incredible ride. How big is baseball in Australia? It's big. It's look, it's obviously we've got the big sports in terms of Aussie rules. You've got rugby. You've got strong national teams with the Australian cricket team. You've got the Socceroos, you've got the Matildas. So it's not a tier one sport. But in terms of the quality of the competition, if you look at the fact that Perth Heat have had 34 players who have played for the Heat and then gone on to play Major League Baseball, there's no other team or competition that could produce that sort of statistics. So if you looked at one of the football teams like the Perth Glory, they haven't had 34 players who have played in the Premier League. So it's the competition is extremely tough and would be one of the best winter leagues in the world, especially with our association with Major League Baseball. So they send players out to you to get game time. And they also scout players that you have got of your own. There's a bit of scouting. There's international scouts in every city. But the idea of sending them out to us is they will see how the players will react in a foreign environment, a different style of baseball, different time of year. How do these players go in an environment over Christmas, New Year? Some of them are coming back from injury. Some of them have had interrupted seasons. That's a good chance for some of them to also build game time. But it's a program now with Tampa. Then in the last five years, we've had five players already play Major League Baseball. Jacob Lopez was the last just a couple of weeks ago. And as I said, Junior Caminero is knocking the house down, his 27 home runs this year. It's just a phenomenal generational athlete. And what kind of crowds do you get? Yeah, they vary across the weekend. We play a series. So we'll play Friday night. We'll play two games on a Saturday. Two? Two games on a Saturday. And then we'll play another one on a Sunday. So there's four games in the space of 72 hours. And the crowd's roughly between 5 ,000 to 7 ,000 over the weekend. OK, wow. So two in a day. What kind of demands are put on the players? Well, it's different. So baseball, if you're a pitcher, the demands are extreme. Every time you throw the ball, it is logged. It is monitored. It is counted. If you're an outfield player or an infielder, one of the batters, then that's what you're built for. You're built to play every game. So all the pressure's on the pitcher? Pitchers, yeah. Good pitching will win you championships. You need a really strong pitching lineup to bring in the different times of the game. And that's the part of your lineup which you really have to monitor so carefully. Because you could start a series with a pitcher. And if he doesn't perform well, when you bring him out of the game, when you introduce someone else. And then if they don't perform well, how quickly do you run through your rotation knowing that you've got four games to get through? So there's a lot of analytics that we look at, we monitor. And as we said, that pitch count is very, very closely watched. I've been to a few baseball games. I've been to see the A's. I've been to see the Dodgers a few times. I've been to see probably your team. Yes. We went to the Yankees. Yeah, we went to the Yankees. It was too hot, wasn't it? Yeah, it was so hot. It was so hot. Our knees were burning. There's not many roofs on the stadiums, yeah? So you're sitting out in the sun, yeah, baking. But there's heat, but it was too hot. Our legs were in shorts, our legs were burning, so we just went and stood at the back and drunk beer. Then the Yankees get absolutely back. I think they were 10 down within two innings. It was like insane. Yeah, but it's a crazy game. It can be 10 down, and you can still win. My wife has now accepted that no matter how far in front we are in a game, she won't relax until that last out. You can be 6 -0 up, 8 -0 up, and you can still lose a game just like that. It's very, very different of football. In football, if you're 3 -0 up, it's effectively game over, yeah? But in baseball, a three -run lead, a four -run lead, it can change with just one pitch if a batter walks, and then suddenly things just change. It's taken a while to understand and to even get comfortable with it. When I first started in the role five years ago, baseball traditionalists would say, well, that's baseball. It's like, no, it's not. It's bad game management. But yeah, it's baseball. It happens in the big leagues. It happens in Australia, and sometimes it happens with Perth Heat. And so your wife, is that because she's got into the baseball, or she's planning for what your move's going to be like? Bit of both. She has to be into it, but I'm not a good loser at all. Yeah, I'm not probably the best person to speak to if we lose a game for a good 24 hours. After we lost the championship series, that 24 hours was probably four months. Mate, honestly, I know exactly how you feel. We lost three games last season in the league. We lost one cup game, and then we got thrown out of a cup because we played an illegible player should have been suspended, administrative error. Every single one of those, I was not good for 24 hours. I spent the next 24 hours saying, what did I do wrong to contribute to that? Even though it's the team and the manager, it's like, what could I have done more? Could we have prepared the team better? Did we not provide the right resources, or did we not get the balance of the roster correct? There's so many things that go through your mind, but yeah, I'm certainly not a good loser. Were you a Perth Heat fan before? No, with a surname like Neil Kobski, you grew up with a round ball in my household. I was a football fan from an early age. This is a true story. Before I took the role with Heat, I had not watched a baseball game from start to finish. I had not watched a full nine innings. I'd watched parts of a game, but I hadn't watched a whole game. That first year in charge was challenging because you'd be with corporate partners, and I didn't know all the rules, and something would happen during a game, and they'd ask, why did that happen? I'd scratch my head and say, I'd have to find out for you. I'm obsessed with it now. My wife loves watching players steal bases, just running from base to base or trying to steal. Then I look at my family, Grey Caritage, and they're all into it and enjoy coming to the ballpark. Most people I introduce do enjoy it because, again, it's a different sport in terms of the pace of the game. You can relax a little bit more and then sit back and enjoy the menu of the hot dogs or the crackerjack and see some home runs in the background. Well, you don't understand the sport. It's a bit like cricket, right? Most Americans, almost every American does not understand cricket. Are you trying to explain test cricket, that it's five days, two innings each, it could rain and end in a draw? Nobody understands it, but when you understand the game, you understand what brilliant test cricket is. Like my son, he watched the Ashes with me, and I had the first two tests, I was explaining how this works, why they might declare, what the follower knows, which never got used. Trying to explain the strategy of it all. And then once he understood, he got into it, and I was mentioning going to watch baseball. I said to you before we started recording, I was dating that girl in LA, so we were going to watch the Dodgers. It was a playoff season, and I must have gone to maybe five games. I went to the game, I don't know if you know the one where Justin Turner hit a walk -off home run in the playoffs. I think it was against, it might have been the Cubs, but by the way, that itself was an unreal moment. The great finish there. Unbelievable. But I had a guy who was sat with me each game explaining it to me. And one of the things I'd never known about is the whole pitcher strategy. My from assumption the little I'd watched here or there, it was just one guy all game. And if somebody came on and it was injury, I didn't realize you're strategically placing different pitchers in the game, especially towards the end of the seventh, eighth, ninth innings. I didn't know any of that. And so once you understood that, you understood the strategy. And then there's huge strategy, whether you're bringing in a left -handed pitcher to pitch to a right -handed batter, left -handed batter, or someone that can face up to a curveball better than a slider, et cetera. Explaining the game to someone in baseball is a lot easier in the ballpark. If you're watching it off the screen, it's a bit harder to pick up. If you sit in the ballpark and you've got someone that can explain the rules, you will understand it a lot quicker than watching it at home. But the strategy behind pitching is nuts. The movie Moneyball and the strategy behind the analytics is spot on. There's so much you can gain out of the numbers. And that's a big part of our relationship, even with Tampa, is the Tampa front office and what they have in terms of identifying talent and how they use it is something that is a great benefit to an organization like the Perth Heat as well. There's a whole Moneyball thing that started coming to football as well. I know specifically teams like Brentford and Brighton have used it. But they're using it in a different way. They're trying to identify talent, which they sell out. I mean, Brighton. Can you look up their sales of players? I mean, Brighton. They have a profit of 130 million pounds, was it, this summer? I mean, historically, they weren't ever a Premier League team. No. It's only in the last, what, five, six years did they become Premier League? They're now established. But the volume of players they sell and the rates they sell their players for, have they got recent sales? Yeah. Let me pull it up. It was the same with Southampton. They kind of had that strategy as well. So there we go. Okay. Caicido, 160 million euros. McAllister, you went to Liverpool, 42 million. Sanchez, 23 million. But there's more in the previous. I mean, is that just this season? Yeah, that's this season. Did you have last season as well? I don't think it was on him. What was up at the top when you scrolled to the top? That was people who had come in. Right. Okay. But this is their whole strategy. I mean, they're now talking, this guy just got a hat -trick. The other Ferguson got the hat -trick against Newcastle the other day. People are starting to talk about him. And they've managed to have this rotation of players. Even though they're selling their best players, they've got these new ones coming through and they've got like an identity, which means it's a profitable business. Luton were the same. So Luton Town managed to get back in the Premier League from going into non -league, which itself is incredible. But they had a whole strategy of bringing players through and it's part of their revenue model. Does that perform part of your actual revenue model to develop players? For Perth Heat, it's a little bit different because if we have players that we continue to develop, they'll get drafted. And the draft system works a little bit differently to football where the club doesn't take the profit. The actual transfer fee goes direct to the player. Oh, wow. It's one of the first questions our board of management asked when they took the license over. How can we develop players and on -sell them? But it doesn't work like that in baseball, unfortunately. So, yeah, we've got a great farm system of producing young Aussie talent to go and pick up minor league contracts. But there's no return there to the club, unfortunately. Were you a baseball fan before you joined? I mean, I played when I was a kid. But not much of a fan. No. No, it was strictly because of the opportunity that came up that I joined. And when did you join? When? Same time. So about a year before, when the talks happened about, well, maybe this is something that we might be able to do. And then what the details look like for making it a possibility for a team to embrace Bitcoin as much as the team has. And then suddenly realizing that it's going to be significantly more work than what it first appeared to be. Because I didn't really have a role there to begin with. I didn't have a job. I wasn't working there at all. But then sort of trying to orange pill the board after Steve got it and to show them what we could do with it. It was very much, this is the idea. This is what we think we can do with it. And their attitude was, OK, go out and prove it and show them exactly what we could do to kick things off. And then from there, it was just small win after small win. And then realizing, well, if we're going to actually do it and announce things in November about just how far down the rabbit hole we were going to go, that we couldn't just, you know, Bitcoin is not at the point now where you can just launch and say, OK, everything worked perfectly. I mean, you know, it's so hit and miss with things that will work and things that won't work. And that's integration with systems that are already in place, especially when you're talking about a business of this size. You know, it's not your micro strategy. We don't have teams and teams of lawyers or people that can look after all of the various elements. And to go all in on Bitcoin means really restructuring how you do everything. And eventually that came back to me as my sort of ability to transition and see what will work, what's going to work now, what will work in 90 days from now and what it's going to look like in 180 days from now. All of that has changed and just somewhat to stay on top of that and to help integrate it into the systems that Steve is already looking after. Yeah. So I'm going to be interested to compare and contrast what you've done to what we've done, because like we're tiny. You know, our crowds are tiny. When we take, if you want to pay with Bitcoin on a match day, we're talking a handful of transactions. You got up to 7000 people there. So that's that's an entirely different beast. What were you, sorry Steve, what were you doing before you joined? My background is media marketing, so I used to be a sports reporter on one of the commercial networks here in Australia with Channel 7. I was there 14 years as a broadcaster, used to commentate to football games. But after being a reporter for the best part of 15 years and seeing how sports organisations run, that's where the real appetite for running a sports organisation came in and wanting to win championships. So I went and worked for a local football team, which is the Perth Glory, who play in the A -League. I was in a media marketing role there for a few years. Is that where Robbie Fowler played? He did the great man. God. Yeah. He used to come over to Mum's house every week for dinner. Shut up. Yeah. Are you serious? A gentleman. One of the most beautiful men. Yeah. We're always on the text to each other. He's a... You're friends with Robbie Fowler? Yeah. There we go. You're in. I want an interview with him. He's one of my childhood heroes. Oh wow. Yeah. And you know what? He's just a lad. He's just brilliant. He came and played for the organisation. And yeah, it was Monday night's dinner at Mum's house. He loved the Greek food, so we kept to a winning formula. That's unbelievable. Do you know the song the Liverpool fans sing about him? About we all live in a Robbie Fowler house. Do you know about this? I don't know. So Robbie Fowler is one of the footballers who was very smart with his money. He just bought just properties all over Liverpool constantly. And see, he's got this huge property portfolio in Liverpool. And so the Liverpool fans sing, we all live in a Robbie Fowler house. Yeah. He's a... He's God. He's God. He's just an awesome guy. Good fun to hang out with. And yeah, made so much time for the people of Perth. We had a great year together. And he's also very cheeky as well. There was a time where we weren't performing too well. We'd lost, I think, five games on the trot. And it was the time that Wayne Rooney was having a whole heap of issues with Manchester United. And we were about to do this live TV cross for Channel 7. And we knew the chairman wasn't too happy at the time. So I said, we've just got to try and deflect here. And Robbie had been in the UK for a week. And the presenter said, so Robbie, what was the trip to the UK all about? And he said, it was to chat to Wayne. And my phone had been, the media marketing guy just blew up, Fleet Street just went mad with this. It was just an off -the -cuff joke that we were trying to sign Wayne Rooney. And it was just everywhere within hours and we had to put out a press release and it was great because it deflected off the five losses that we'd had, but it was just a bit of a piss take. What was his scoring record like at Perth? Look, it wasn't as good as what it was at Liverpool. We would have been nice for him to score a few more goals, but the team struggled a little bit that year. And I think he ended up maybe with a dozen goals from memory somewhere around there. But it was a good year. And then again, I remember him taking out a little urn when England won the Ashes out before a game. And he put it up on his head and there was photos of it. He's just a great prankster in a lot of ways. He's an awesome person to have in your change room. And yeah, I'm really happy to call him a friend. So I went down the Robbie Fowler rabbit hole with my son the other week because, did you watch the Liverpool Newcastle game the other week? No, I missed it. Right. So I said to my son that there were two games when I was a kid when Liverpool played Newcastle. There were four, three consecutive years. The first one was a back and forth. I think Liverpool went 1 -0 up, then Newcastle went 2 -1 up, then Liverpool got it back to 2. Then they went 3 -2 up, then 3 -0. Liverpool went 4 -3. Stan Collimore in the 90th minute. It's an unreal game. And then a year later, Liverpool went 3 -0 up, Newcastle got it back to 3 -0. And then in the last minute, Robbie Fowler scores ahead of this flying header to go 4 -3. And so I then just had to explain Robbie Fowler to my son, why everyone said he was God. And we went down this kind of rabbit hole of Robbie Fowler goals. I was always really sad, though, because when he left Liverpool, I'm trying to remember, was it Leeds and Man City he went to? Did play both, yeah. Yeah, and I just couldn't accept him, not in a Liverpool shirt. Not in a Liverpool shirt, yeah. It didn't make sense to me. No, iconic to that club, and yeah. Absolute legend. Sorry, there's a bit of a tangent. OK, so going from commentator to chief exec, that's quite a jump. Did you have to kind of prove yourself you were capable? Did you have to pitch yourself for it? Look, I did the four years at Perth Glory in a media marketing role. I then stepped outside of sport for the first time in my career and just did some sales, what they called home and land packages here in Australia, selling some land in the house with it, and quickly went into a management role there with one of the companies. And then the opportunity came with the heat, and I was given the chance to run my first club, which was good because at the time I'd just started as president of a football club as well. So the management position was quite similar. I've run both roles now for the last five years, which has been brilliant. What is the mandate for the chief exec? How does it compare to, say, a chairman in a football team? Just look, every club's structure can be a little bit different, so yeah, a chairman for us is one of the shareholders, majority shareholder of our club, so he's who I report to. I've got the day -to -day running of the organisation, and I report to our chairman. What are the main things that you're responsible for the team in ensuring they've got the resources they need? Everything, yeah. Everything, yeah. I run the organisation. So it's basically probably almost identical to my role. Correct. Yeah, absolutely. Bigger numbers. Yeah, there's bigger numbers, but I don't think it really matters, and there's probably a good contrast with a football club. Whether you've got 10 members, 100 members, 1 ,000 members, a million members, the communication is still the same. You still treat your members the same way, regardless of how many zeros are involved. It's the same if you do a social media post, whether your club's only got 50 members or 50 ,000, you're still putting out information. So in some ways, don't get scared by the numbers. It's treat the position with respect and your members and partners, et cetera. Again, corporate partners, regardless of what the partnership value is, they're a corporate partner.

The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from O. W. Root(Encore)
"We are representing a second whistleblower from the FBI, Marcus Allen. Due to whistleblower retaliation by the FBI, I've been suspended without pay for over a year because of you, ACLJ donors. You get the best attorneys in the world. Folks, welcome to the Eric Mataxas show sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit Legacy PM investments dot com. That's Legacy PM investments dot com. Ladies and gentlemen, looking for something new and original, something unique and without equal. Look no further. Here comes the one and only Eric Mataxas. Ladies and gentlemen, if you've listened to me over the years or if you followed me on any level over the years, you know that I believe that everything means something. Everything is connected. And that includes how we dress. If you dress like a slob, no offense to the slobs who are listening. But if you dress like a slob, it says something. It's not just that that's how you dress. Everything matters. And came I to understand this through my friend, Tim Ragland. I've talked about him on this program before. He is one of my dearest, oldest friends. He wrote well, he and I did many books together. He's an illustrator, genius illustrator. And Tim Ragland, if you're familiar with my Uncle Muggsy books, Muggsy and the Terrible Twins of Christmas, Uncle Muggsy, Yankee Doodle Muggsy, The Birthday ABC. These are three children's books that I have written, which you can find at where you can find them at my store dot com if you go to my store dot com. But Tim Ragland's illustrations are brilliant and gorgeous and amazing. But it was Tim who really helped me. This is like probably in the late 80s begin to understand why what you wear matters, why men's fashion matters, why getting dressed up in this way or that way matters. And it's something that I've been interested in over the years. And so I'm really thrilled today to have someone as my guest to discuss this. He goes by O .W. Root. Those are two initials. Oh, W. Root. I follow him on Twitter at necktie salvage, necktie salvage. But I'm just excited to talk to him about things that matter to me and I hope will matter to you. O .W. Root, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me. You are wearing a seersucker jacket and a white shirt, necktie looking snappy. I feel every time I'm talking to you or to Roger Stone on the program, I suddenly feel ashamed because I'm not wearing a tie. I think a tie can look a little ridiculous when I'm in this kind of informal setting behind me. But we'll put that to the side. You're looking great.
Paul Vato Presents: A Celebrity Centric Podcast!
A highlight from Exploring Cultural Identity and Humor with Japanese-American Stand Up Comedian Michelle MALIZAKI!
"Thank you, Mr. Paul Vato. Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Paul Vato, and this is Paul Vato Presents. And today, my very special guest is Michelle Malazaki. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. That's such a traditional Japanese name, isn't it? No, it's not. Oh, my goodness. I thought it was. Well, welcome, Michelle. Thank you so much for spending a little bit of time with us today. Michelle is a brilliant stand -up comedian, a musical artist. She has recorded a few other podcasts. I first found out about her through my friend Christina Blackburn, who has a great podcast called Storyworthy. And I was a guest of Christina's as well. So it's a great podcast. It's a lot of fun, a lot of industry people. So Michelle, thank you so much for taking time to be here. We're live on fireside, so welcome. Thank you for having me on your show. 100%. I'm so glad that you were able to do it. I have so many questions to ask, cultural differences, comedy, and all that incredible background. Would you be kind enough to tell us a little bit about yourself, where you're from, where you live? Maybe not your address, but where you live, and where you've performed, and things like that. OK, I am originally from Japan. But I just found out I'm not a Japanese person anymore because I become an American. And in Japan, there are only two people, two kind of people, two kinds of people, Japanese and non -Japanese. And I am neither, I'm a former Japanese. Interesting. Are they called, is that Gaijin? Is that the right word or no? I'm not Gaijin. I'm just a former Japanese. Interesting. Is that because you became an American citizen, so you're no longer recognized as Japanese? The second I sworn in as different foreign nationality, then my Japanese citizenship just evaporates. I didn't know that. Wow. And this is because of the Japanese government, not the US government? I see. The American government that you have multiple citizenships. That's what I thought. But I think at that, there used to be a time where you could only have, if you were a US citizen, I thought you could only have a US passport. But I know that that's changed because I know people have multiple passports. So I don't know what changed. Yeah. But with Japan, Japanese government, you can't have dual citizenships. So just one. So as soon as I sworn in as American, then no more Japanese. No more Japanese. All my jokes about being Japanese. Oh, no. Now you can't make any more Japanese jokes. They might get offended. Oh, no. What am I going to do? You've got to rewrite your whole act. I know. Maybe you could divorce your present husband and marry a Japanese guy. And then you could make Japanese jokes. I don't know. Like, I'm still lost since I found about this. Because I don't know. I never belonged to any group. I was an outsider. When did this happen? When did you find out that you were no longer Japanese? I just found out recently. But I did not. Yeah, because I become American citizen a while back. Wow. Wow. Now, you recently went to Japan. Is that right? Yeah, I just did. And I had to get a visa. Oh, yeah, because you're not Japanese. Of course, he has a gift. I'm not a Japanese person. I have to apply for a visa. And then they ask for a picture. So I sent my picture in. And then they called me and said, oh, your picture's too old. You have to send a current picture. How do they know that my face hasn't changed? It's the same person. And you look very young. So it doesn't matter when it was taken. It's the filter, I think. It's like an automatic filter thing. Because my room looks nice. Well, mine's not working, I don't think, because I look old. So I don't know what happened. I've never met you in person, so I don't know. I look even better in person, I think. Oh, a lot of people do. Like, you know, you do Zoom shows. And then you never meet those guys, girls, people in person. And then when you meet them, you're like, oh my gosh, they are really nice -looking. You're like, stay off the Zoom. It makes you look ugly. But I mean, I look the same. I look the same. That's my cat. My cat's kind of famous for barging into international virtual shows. Very interesting, I love that. Yeah, but she never talks to me during the day. No? No, it's just when I'm talking on somebody else other than the cat, then she's just, hey, guys. What's your cat's name? Mochi. Mochi? Yeah, like the food, mochi. I also have a dog named Pinan. Like, all my pets are named after food items. I see that. Do you have any fish? I don't eat them. It's just names. We're not gonna go there, I don't think, right? Maybe. You're like, I'm Japanese, not Korean. Uh -oh, don't tell Bobby Lee. Awesome. These people didn't eat beef nor pork till 170 years ago. Was it strictly pescatarian or vegetarian or what? No, I think, I can't remember because Japanese people believe in many different things, but one of the - When did you decide to come to the US? Because I know that you had an affinity, I think, for maybe American television. Yeah, well, I wanted to, well, I came to America because I wanted to, okay, my mom told me, ever since I was in fifth grade, my mom told me to marry a white guy because half white, half Asian kids are cute. That's true. I actually wanted to marry a British person. I guess you can't marry two, so just one. But then America was closer than England, so I came here. Wonderful. And did your dreams come true? Did you end up marrying a white guy? I ended up marrying a white guy from Ohio. That's as white as you can get. No, I think, I didn't know, but Wisconsin is whiter white people. I didn't know. That is true. I grew up in Chicago, well, in the suburbs, in Illinois, which is right by, well, both Ohio and Wisconsin, and you're right. I think Wisconsin, you could have done a little bit better and found a white guy from Wisconsin. Yeah, oh, well, I didn't know. Next time. Next up, next, yeah. Wisconsin, 10 years younger, that's on my list. Yeah, go to a youth group and maybe you can find a future husband. What does your husband think about you doing standup? Were you doing standup when you guys met or how long have you been doing standup? I actually used to do TV production for Japanese TV and I've done like many different shows, like news about like surrogate mothers, like documentaries to sports news. But like, you know, when I tell people that I was on sports news, you know, you might think, oh my gosh, why are you famous? My hand, like holding a microphone like this was famous right here, just here, yeah, not me. Right, right, right, right. Now, is it true? I used to travel with the Yankees because they had a Japanese player and I get to go inside of the locker room after they take showers after the game. That was my job. What a job. I got paid. What a job. Do you miss it? I don't know, like it was fun. I mean, you go there, we used to rotate like two weeks at a time to follow and that was fun. And some baseball stadiums have better food than the others. Like Arizona Diamondbacks, they have good food, but like Dodgers, eh. Maybe that's a show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We should do a show where we go to different parks and try their food. Yeah, the San Diego Patriots have good food at the concession stand. Yeah. Yeah, and also Boston Red Sox, they have good food. They got chowders. Of course, Boston. Yeah, but it's kind of like baseball season is kind of hot and then you eat chowders, but it's so good. Wonderful. Did you have to pay for your own food or was it a budget? Actually, at the press level, they have press food and you eat some of those and then you go downstairs and eat more food. I would love to do that job except for going into the men's showers, but you seem to enjoy that. Yeah, yeah, of course I do. They're like, you can leave now. You're like, I'm not done yet. I gotta interview more players. I'm not done yet. So how long have you been doing standup comedy? I've been doing it for like five years. Before that, I used to do improv. I had a midlife crisis and I took some improv classes at the Park and Rec. And then that led me to the Second City and I was just taking a class at a time and I ended up finishing the conservatory program. But improv you have, and I had so much fun, but you have to have team to perform. You know, it's easy to form a team, but it's hard to maintain a team. Oh, I know. I studied improv. After a while, people are not excited to practice anymore. I go, I have to pay 40 bucks for the session and I don't know. And so I started to perform by myself. I was singing and stuff and I had no idea about standup comedy. I didn't know at all. It's like, I live here forever in America, but I didn't know standup comedy existed till like five years ago. Wow, because it's not that big in Japan. Is that right? It's becoming like very recently, but it's in Japan comedy style is usually two people doing skits. So it's very different. And standup comedy, I don't know, I just love it. And you're very good at it. I've seen some of your sets there. Yeah, they're wonderful. And I'd love to talk to you about Second City. Was that in Los Angeles where you studied or were you in Chicago? Yes, that one in Hollywood. Hollywood, yeah, of course. Of course, did you ever do anything at Upright Citizens Brigade or improv? Yes, I also took classes at UCB and I did shows at iOS. Yeah. And I also took an improv class before, like way before when I was pregnant, like seven months pregnant. And I'm like at the, gosh, where are the groundings? Yeah, but I was too pregnant. So I'm like, oh, I can't do this. How long ago was this? How old are your kids? My kids are 16 and 12. Do you like improv better or stand -up better? I like improv. I love improv. I really love improvised music, like musicals. But that one is really hard to practice because you have to have somebody who could play piano or keyboard. And then you have to get a group of people who's willing to make fun of themselves. I like musical improv. The most. You had a song go viral, didn't you? Did you have a famous song about napping? Yeah, I had a nap time by Napster. It's a song for the, it's an official song for National Napping Day. When is National Napping Day? That's the day after the daylight saving time starts. You lose an hour the day before. So you get to take a nap the next day. I didn't know that, that's great. And your song is the official song for National Napping Day? Yes, actually, you know what happened? So I found out, I wrote a song called Nap Time by Napster. And then I found out there's a National Napping Day and I tracked down the guy who found it that day and I send him email. I'm like, I have a perfect song for National Napping Day. Can it be an official song? And he's like, sure.

Yanks Go Yard: A New York Yankees podcast
"yankees" Discussed on Yanks Go Yard: A New York Yankees podcast
"Aureus. There were burnt out by the time the postseason came around ears through over a hundred innings higher than his previous career high mark. Bueller was like at 35, and he was being pitched on short rest in the postseason. That's not a formula for success. So you look at the Yankees and I don't know what they're doing with domain or to be honest. And then you look at Kluber's gone, I don't think loop is coming back. So you need to sign another starter and then you need to figure out what your plan is for the remaining guys on the roster and then bring in another guy Tanaka esque, who can eat innings or in this case, be in a 6 man rotation, where it's worthwhile and where he's being. Where is potential is being maximized, rest him, it's a perfect formula for me. I don't know why the Yankees were kind of they were like standoffish about discussing a 6 man rotation and spring training last year, just like just talk about it, dude. This isn't therapy. We're not like nobody is begging you for answers to questions that we've been that are deep dark secrets. It's like, okay, why are we not entertaining a 6 man rotation? Very logical question. Very logical question because every team needs more starters beyond the 5. People get injured. The Tommy John epidemic has been going on for ten plus years now. So, yeah, there's clearly a need to have extra arms and guys who are capable of starting and or being a consistent spot stars. So I think you actually have the best of both worlds with Tanaka because he would be better than a spot starter, and he would be better on the extra day of rest. So I would I endorse this. I love it. To me, he's a fan favorite. I think that people have gotten frustrated with him and his blow up starts, but you gotta realize once again, Yankees fault. This is the Yankees fault, Tanaka is never he was an ace in Japan, but like, why would you think that's gonna translate to be a number one on the New York Yankees in Major League Baseball? No, it's not like he never was he had a good career, very good career. People would kill for the career that he's had. But not a guy who should be leading the rotation for the New York Yankees who are World Series hopeful. You would think year in and year out. And now you have a very good opportunity to bring back a guy who's familiar with the spotlight, familiar with pitching in the playoffs in a deemphasized role where he succeeds better on more rest and I think this is a no brainer if the options on the table we still don't entirely know if it's on the table..

"So it just feels like they've been more successful than the Yankees over the last several decades because they finished the job. They have more years with magical endings than most teams do. But the Red Sox, you know, 2018 is an astounding season. 2019 very embarrassing for them. 2020, even worse they tank worse than they ever have. In a year where, you know, everybody could have used some wins last year, 2020 was tough. And Red Sox fans had a depressing year. So they're going to make the playoffs this year, they're almost definitely going to be in the wild card game. And that's good for the Boston Red Sox fans. It's been three years of depression for them. And so I theoretically should be satisfied. But I'm not because I still want more bad endings. For X-Men's you've had it really, really good in many, many recent seasons. All that being said, met fans and Yankee haters to be rooting against your own team as the Yankees limp towards at best a wild card road burp. And that worst and more likely they'll be out of the playoffs entirely. 12 seasons since they've made the World Series. 12 seasons since they've won it. They got to ALCS game 7 once during that stretch. They got to game 6 a couple times. They've been close once in 12 years. They have not made the World Series in 12 years. Your probably knowing the Yankees and how they operate and the stratosphere in which they are circling, it's probably never gonna get better for you as a hater than this. 12 years without having to worry about the Yankees in the World Series. That's a large chunk of your lifetime. And if you want to expand it 20 years, one World Series 21 years, one World Series is a lot of failure..

Be in the goddamn stadium. He's going to be waving to people not happening. But i don't think dope here's where you're wrong. There's gonna be no appreciation. People love record. I had someone tweet me ask just young monument. I had someone ask if brett gardner is going to get a fucking monument. Who has monuments received ruth lou. Gehrig joe maggio mickey mantle. Those players have monuments and someone asked me if brett car dealer is going to get a monument. Last week would look good. He would look good on monument alien head not exactly all right so we're gonna bergener take an l. for all verbal predictions. This time it will never bring them up again. This season unless aaron judge wins the mvp. Then something good happen so we do have a couple mailbag questions. The first one My guy brian fischler emailed me he He's a great guy. He's been on the podcast. I think once or twice and he does the laugh for site. he's He's a he's a comedian. He's also blind and he's got a charity for for to raise money for blind awareness. And it's a laugher said. I went Three years in a row. It's it's really an awesome time. But he is just fed up with the yankees says. I absolutely despise the entire twenty twenty one yankees team same here. It's absolutely unimaginable to me. That i could hate a yankees team this much. See the only way of fixing things is to not make the playoffs. Get rid of boone. He says the tone for the dead bunch. The entire philosophy of the organization needs to change. I do not think. Steinbrenner will fire cashman. But i think it needs to be done as the entire system needs a reset. You think the entire yankee system is broken. I have no doubt. The yankee system will f- up the martian. Look what they have done to. Every other player torres sanchez and do our other young players. That seem to have gotten worse over the past few years. He says go sox seriously. I don't mean that. But i think it's the only way to fix things kind of what we said in the first half of this episode. Is that just blowing up. Yeah start with the manager and see what you could do at least give us Some semblance of a season to refer the. Yeah it's not not not a majority of yankees fans feel the way. Brian feels in the way you have expressed you feel and how we feel or that. 'cause i still see so many fans on twitter and twitter's assessable but i see so many people still trusting the process and it baffles me. No there's no process to trust at this point. He's just gotta make a change man. I'll tell you what watching looking and seeing these Following some of the reporters are down there watching dominguez. All the time kid is lighted up already. You know in the in the in tampa where he is right. Now i will. You can't you can't not nothing's gonna happen this year. But i'm saying i'm saying he's an exciting player. He's living up to the bill. So far in the first org i Real ball that he's that he's played in like the kid. Looks like a a man amongst boys. I would not be surprised if the when you see a kid like that. Like a lot of times in in baseball the players also physically mature to get to a point where they can play these next levels right over the past two years. He's so far beyond the the his is physical ability that you should be at that at that age that there's no reason if he continues to just keep up them up and see what happens. There precedent for come up in thirteen twenty sewed bryce harper. These players were nineteen years old when they were playing well in the major leagues. So i think jason dominguez is what eighteen years old this year. Because i think he's seventeen. I think he's still seventeen. he's either seventeen or eighteen. He still think he. I think eighteen if he if he's eighteen just turned eighteen. Recently i believe either way seventeen or eighteen years there is eighteen. He turns his birthday february. He just turned eighteen this past february. Yeah so next spring training he will be nineteen years old. He should get a major league invite to spring training which will and then who knows maybe second half of the year he can if he rakes in aaa cole. No yeah i mean he may not even go to aaa aaa. You might go like to go. Those step-by-step well then then blitz. Let's hope that some Changes in the organization is overhauled..

"Scared straight where you like you like fourteen years old intervention in your out there on the yankees need an intervention you get thrown into the penitentiary the yankees the yankees gotta go get like throw them on rikers island for a weekend. We'll just take three. We'll take the break because none of them don't show up to detroit. Takes no them in rikers island. For the week it would have been the same result and we would have come out. We would have come out much different if you could pick one person to give the yankees and intervention. Be one player to give a one. Do they need an intervention. Did of intervention to they need because. I don't know that like this team would respond to a out. I don't know that this team needs to be chewed out. Because i don't know it's a level setting it's a it's a. It's a humbling moment in a sense that you're not. It's not a chewing out for doing something wrong. It's just you have done nothing. You have accomplished nothing. You are nothing your dog shit and somewhat where. Where would that mean the most right now. Coming from derek jeter. i'm his. He's a common. You want the yankees winning. Wants the marlins to win you. Ask me an isolated. I don't care who this person is right now or what they're doing but someone who has had success recently with the new york yankees who felt the love of the fans who has who has been showered by all the greatness from the fans and has done amazing things and as king of the city. You need a person like that to walk and it'd be like to. Do you know who off my uniform. You're embarrassing me. You're not acting like it's a privilege to where these pinstripes as garrett cole would refer to pressure is a privilege. I mean if there's a person on the team right now it's care cold light them up. It's tough to come. Well it's tough to come from a starting pitcher especially if that doesn't mean it's garrett cole it's different he's a he's he's he's the best pitcher in the league or derek. Jeeter ain't walking through that door so someone i'll just saying to motivate this team. I don't see it coming from aaron boone. Because he doesn't seem like a good motivator he seems like a he seems like a buddy buddy babysitter and when things are going. Well it's easy to give credit taryn boone. When the team hits three hundred home runs in a year but when the team faces a little adversity and you have to look to your manager for some guidance and some leadership. I don't think our balloons the guy in in season managerial change willie. Randolph willie randolph lights. A fire under this ass. Does he lights a fire under his ass. That's the guy that's the guy he's got the got the he's got the pedigree he's one of the best up. I was looking up. The defensive war yesterday was trying to be in a little up. Some you were struggling. And it took me an hour to look through the excel spreadsheet on baseball reference. And at one point. I was stuck on d. war all time and we'll randolph's top twenty five defensive war all time so i mean immediately off the bat we talk about why is going out there hitting fungus day we did we. Did we talk about why you were because clint frazier. Someone tweeted us. That clint frazier is one of the worst defensive out yet. Correct a great if look at defensive d war on baseball reference. He's like bottom third but he's up there in the back yet. Okay need someone. Let's wrap this up willie right off the baseball man. Let's wrap this up. I hope everyone has a pleasant memorial day. Maybe the yankees will win this afternoon and take some momentum into the rest of the before they face boston we will be back at you this week with an episode. I am going to be talking to chad jennings to get a little bit more information about the red sox surprising season so expect that episode on wednesday or thursday and then of course we will do our friday five. Are you done venting or do you have. Do you have one last five. This is become a therapy session. Where i just keep finding things to talk about to be honest but i didn't think i was gonna have this much to talk about. Thought it was gonna be just just a sad sad episode but it's me feel a little bit better yelling at the cloud. I don't feel like i'm old man yelling at the clouds. Maybe that's because then we're not yelling. Talk and yelling at the clouds feels that way. It's not me not me. Old men. Yelling at cloud is old men yelling at something that doesn't matter or that doesn't deserve his anger. This team is part of my anger is part of my anger towards the new wave of analytics in baseball in the way decisions are made and that stats where i feel like. I'm yelling a cloud. Although i feel like i'm very warranted because it's has it has diminish the product. I don't mind change. I don't i'd like change. I think changes. Fine if it's for the good of For for the progression of a sport progression of of of the game but in understanding that that technology will always be getting better and better and better and there will be new ways to do things great fine. We should adapt that that should happen. But when you go so far down a rabbit hole and you start making these changes that go so deep in development of the actual game. We're starting to see rear. Its ugly head and it's not. There's a long correction. That's a deep correction that that would be. I still think we're on the back to that type of that type of baseball where you see. Were spraying the ball. I still think we're on the downslope. Were not even back on the upslope. Towards here's the thing though. Here's the thing we said we're about done but when when you look at the talent this is this is where this is where things drive me nuts a little bit because the town. This team is there. It's there we've seen it. It's not like we haven't seen it and it's like we haven't seen these guys playing big moments because we have in two thousand and seventeen. They were backs against the wall. They were not so different. The two different walk into their beating cleveland. They're they're taking houston to the end. Like that was a good team. That was a good team. Two thousand seventeen. Who who is still on the team now from two thousand. Seventeen brett gardner and aaron judge and gary sanchez and Glare taurus thousand seventeen. He didn't come up until two thousand eighteen to is right. that's it one of those guys has completely disappeared. Gary sanchez yes. Okay so aaron. Judge is still here and still plan while brett. Carter's thirty eight years old. I know the construction of that team. They they started leaning into even when labor torres came did not look like the same player he has right now he was good then he was. He was a guy who had a different approach at the plate. Two thousand nine hundred thirty eight home runs two thousand seventeen. He looked like him. I'm sorry i know but two thousand seventeen or eighteen. God dammit he looks he looked more like an get a five like mine is the speed player and the defensive two thousand eighteen. He was had a better much better. Approach offensively cocky. Two thousand and the numbers got cocky with the nerds like. Oh yeah lead into this lean into this and it got him away from things that he that he was doing while he came up. And i think that's a big problem so therefore my point lies before i said this whole on was is that the talent in these players is there. This is this is really as it. Approach thing just the air. They're talented however. I don't know that the players that are on this roster are equipped to play it. Assamese game when i saw gleyber torres. Come up that. I did not see the same player i saw a guy that was on the path of progression towards being a much overall well rounded ofensive player and unfortunately we just have not seen that progression. We've seen him lean more into the power lesson to the Spraying the ball again going off. I test here. I'm not referring to any numbers but the approach is different and feels different. And i don't know where that went wrong or it didn't go wrong and this is exactly the way that they were supposed to go and it's just not working and i think that's.

"All the time and now across the league the offensive down the leg up because even though home runs were up runs were not up so earned run. Average runs per game allowed was not up in baseball. It's just more of the runs being scored on the home run. But that doesn't mean now but that doesn't mean offense had the upper hand pitching still had the upper hand the last year. I'm more talking about the. The ratio of pitching will always have the upper hand. Well he's been very clear about that but when you look back and you're seeing the plate appearances where these hormones were going out there now resulting in strike outs. And i'm wondering why that's the case. Well i feel like. I've been doing this a lot lately. I've been referencing podcasts. Than i did with guests but e-e-e-e-no sars-like he talked about why it's not just that the baseball's not traveling as far that is a component of it pitchers are able to with the new baseball spin. The ball move the ball. Control the ball better than they ever have before and they have better technology now to improve doubts they do the my understand that i understand that. So is this. Is this them being just getting to that next level now and the batteries are just not able to keep up. Because we're we're we're all over the all over the offense and the guy and the batter's but but kind of what you're saying also it's not their fault. There's a little bit of this. There's a little bit in the back of of what you're saying is it's not their fault. But here's the and the equipment and all these things are completely against them so but when you when you put that into a forty five degree day in detroit is an excuse. Is that a valid excuse. But these these are the these this out there. I am not knowing. I'm gonna explain why. I don't agree with that because this group of players we've seen basically since two thousand eighteen. It's been the core of players. Judge gleyber sanchez stanton etc. That's the group of players that we expect to hit and who aren't hitting. I looked at very basic numbers. Home runs per game. Okay since two thousand and eighteen the yankees in two thousand eighteen. Hit one point six homers per game the league average one point two. That's twenty five percent better than league average in two thousand and nineteen the one point nine homers per game almost two homers per game. It's crazy the league average was one point four. That's twenty six percent better than league. Average twenty twenty shortened season the yankees hit one point six homers. The league one point three nine thousand nine percent better. Twenty twenty one. The yankees have hit one point. Two home runs per nine innings. The league one point two home runs per nine inning exactly league average which basically comes out to where are wrc pluses this season which is ninety six. A few percentage points below league average. The offense is average. Because the home run has been neutralized. It's not hard to figure out the team covered up so many offensive deficiencies since two thousand eighteen because they hit an ass load of home runs. Yes okay so we knew. They couldn't hit with runners in scoring position and they couldn't score runners from third base and they couldn't move runner than those deficiencies all showed themselves in the postseason against elite. Starting pitching an elite bullpen. We knew that but it was covered up in the regular season because they hit two home runs a game now. They're not so the market. So to be clear this is a market correction. And the and the way that you're saying is being done because the advance stats. Were there yesterday. Another year into all these events that's and they're getting better as the days. Go on but if what's the what's the other. What's the difference here. The ball is just the ball is the ball neutralized yankees because the whole neutralized other teams other teams are scored red sox underscored razor scoring then scoring. Then where's this going. Where link is vlad guerrero. Smoke in the ball all over the place but the yankees are not. Why because acted. Because i think the yankees the type of player in the rosser that brian cashman is constructed has very clear weakness and it's being exploited and when you when they can't hit home runs as easily that weakness becomes glaring and takes over their weaknesses. They don't put the bat on the ball so as a as a unit as a unit. And that's where some teams can get past their deficiencies with with particular players because they have complementary players that can do certain things and the players may come is supposed to be. He's hitting sixty okay. They're they're they're guy who has led the league in batting average last year and almost led the league the year before is hitting two sixty. Okay so do cast on this team only then. That can't explain whether you think it's voodoo or whether you think the players just simply aren't that good but that's bullshit right because that is why did you let me. Who is that good. I know he's that good. We've seen it with our own eyes for years. And he was that good. When he played in a different ballpark he won a batting title. Unfortunately and to hit hold on hold on to win a batting title. You have to go back to. It doesn't matter we're the frequent is or how hello travels as much of course. Field is the highest batting average ballpark in base. But my point is you still have to go back to ball you do. But it's much easier to get a hidden course field than anywhere else. Okay so now. Dj limit you was a product of course field again. No but dj lemay. This year is closer to his pre two thousand nineteen numbers then. Then what's the difference. I think it's a lot of different. Factors centered around the baseball and the fact that pitching is elite and the fact that the yankees can only win in one way. And that's by hitting home runs and when they don't hit home runs they don't score runs. We've known that score we've known that for years okay. So that's what it is. It's now harder to do the thing that they are only good at okay. So they built it. They built a team around a particular skill set. That is being as the years. Go on or an actually know if you look at the numbers that you just put up completely dropped off the face of the planet this year from twenty percent ish above your competition to all of a sudden. Now you're exactly zero and were acquire beyond a third of the way through the season. Yeah so then this. This brings me to We go through that first mailbag. This is a good opportunity to talk about that fired up. I'm going to I will Read it. I'm scrolling down josh l. Durkin longtime fan fairly new lesser josh. Thank you for listening. I appreciate it. The yankees starting rotation and bullpen is without question championship worthy. The corey. kluber is now out will maybe as as much which. I didn't know hinged on corey kluber. But that's kind of crazy as i might have been sent in before that news. I don't know as much talent on this team. It's been disappointing to watch a particular group. Make it so close fall short. I believe this team has two more seasons before it. Adjourns is the time for cashman and make a blockbuster trade this season and add a real attribution to this team kris. Bryant for example. I don't know about you guys. But i am tired of hearing about the luxury tax. There's a hole in the outfield. And honestly i don't think this team to win a world series with k the ks in parentheses here for fraser even though to see but it's a k. For clint if you get it and And that hot dog in a helmet playing centerfield. He's referring to break. owner dog. joke was necessary. You know what i'm saying. If the guy's ball okay. He's thirty eight years old thirty seven years old. Whatever he's he's not the problem here pulling up some soak bryant numbers sprint now. But josh's bring up a good point. I thought about this the other day when we're after they got swept by the tigers. When when you when you get swept by the detroit tigers as a new york yankees and you're in detroit and you're looking as a general manager of the team in the state of the team and the state of the fan base in the state of the organization and yeah..

"Triple play. Where do you rank that as far as exciting plays in baseball like i feel like inside the park home. Run triple play those those two. Because they're so rare that are triple play. You don't even you don't see coming. It takes the same amount of time really as a double play. So there's not as much anticipation in it. There's not a build up for a triple play like you'd never thinking it before the before the before it happens. No joke about it. Like a triple play would be nice. Exactly you're saying jasser screwed just talking shit. Whatever it's not like. You actually think anything like that's going to happen. The ball has to be perfectly hit and it was it was perfectly it was hit the perfectly to rochelle so that he made that turn and then turn it second like you got to have some mustard on that ball to and and there was mustered on apple. I mean the the fact that They turned it beautiful. Stretch by voight. It was gorgeous. It's exciting when it happens. It's exciting ship because when you're seeing it you're not expecting everybody is fired up. I mean the the cheese grin on chapman. After that thing happened like probably the ba- i it looked like it was the best thing he's ever seen in his entire life. So yeah inside. The park home runs there but just like exciting place. I don't know man a guy. I scoring from first base on a on a double late game. Okay but because this is he gonna do it as you are. They sending him. They're sending and there's a plate the plate. Let me let me say plays at the plate up or no longer thing. Because you can't block the plate you could still. It's still thing because it's still exciting because it still. It can last exciting now. It's this guy over anymore. Having you can't pull a pete rose anymore and that's what made it extra exciting. I'd say an extra exciting. I'd say home home robberies like really good homerun robberies where the guys like in the air well over the fence robs a homerun. Maybe if it's late in the game and it's an preserves the lead inside the parkers We're talking about when the yankees fan tries to block the the robbed run. Because that's what happened today. Wait what what are you talking. Frazier went off for the ball. It was at the age it was a it was a it made it a four three game. I think that homerun did and yankee fan in the front row caught the ball. He was behind the fence. But like right there. Frazier was the. They showed the replied. The angle was great but he had a chance at it. It was other going to glance off the end of his glove. Flop out of it or he was gonna catch. It was close enough where he was. It looked like he had a chance full disclosure. The game was on the ipad. And what i was doing at that point in the game was we were trying to see. Harrison would go in the pool. He didn't there you go. Clint frazier got got Got robbed robbing home run. I thought you meant there was a ball. Gio hit the game that went off the very top of the wall and a fan almost reached over and grabbed. It pulled the jeffrey mayor. But things a pissed missile. I when taken it's domino. This was this was all high. Fly ball it. Would you know it's an out in many places and it scraped just on top of the wall and dude caught. He wasn't looking. He wasn't paying attention. He was trying to catch the ball eye on the ball. Not nothing nothing. No awareness of what's happening with the plano awareness of frazier is yankee fan. Catches definitely impedes the catch as a yankee fan close to the wall and the other teams heading. You gotta know that first of all right field especially there's a monster playing right field and if there's not there's okay. It's clint frazier this time. But still those are catchable balls. You gotta you gotta let the guy play. I almost feel they do have these signs. Do not interfere with the ball in play but instead of those signs to explain like no the situation back the fuck up when the other team is headed exactly possible that rightfielder king catch it. That's a good thing for your team. You don think about. Who's who's at bat. Okay if if the yankees are about. This is what you do. It's like it's like one of those flow charts if this is literally you're supposed to react to the play. Not think while the balls in the air to make sure you're mentally prepared for what's going to happen so that you don't have that extra that extra time to think about it. Well the fans are less apart of that the on field action than ever because of the nets all around the foul territory. So you right field. There's no excuse there no but you can't have a A bar what's his name bartman. Yeah it was not. You can't yeah. I think so bartman. Yeah that doesn't sound right cubs thousand three. Yeah i know who you're talking about. Yeah far turtleneck. can you google that bob. Do you know what you were one. You know what we're talking about now. Google bartman two thousand three cubs. See what comes up. You're not going to like this next topic's scott. Dj lemay been looking like dj lemay. Who's not been looking like. An mvp caliber player is what which is what the yankees got in two thousand nineteen in two thousand twenty. So far is hitting two sixty with a sub seven hundred pius and a one oh one. Wrc plus so. He's basically been a league average offensive player the yankees offenses not been good overall. I'm not expecting some of these guys to if you're if you're going into a a game and you've got tyler wade in there and brett gardner cuyahoga yoga and mike ford. Like those guys are aren't going to be hitting digital. Who needs to start playing better. He needs to start hitting more. That's what they paid him to do. Start being dj lament. Who again and that.

"Oh yeah yeah. Glacier gary frazier show and then frazier or clint. Or if gardner's playing yeah gartner can also be a great night hitter like you said you. Just said gardner would be a great night's hitter. I just want you to notice that you said that you know a great nine hitter. He's a great night hundred. What are you talking about. I don't get is he. Is he a great nine hundred or is that a little too much as that or is that a little too much. A great nine hundred ninety a good hitter. I didn't say outstanding. i'd say great is more outstanding great outstanding outstanding. Just be like a moment of fleeting moment. The why did people should all his twitter. Because i called because you had to call it out. It was a thing. That's why you insensitive prick the second time calling you. Sob all right. Let's get mailbag questions. Bob you ready to read out loud. Yeah so the first one is from evan. Wrap this one is for dr scott. I just saw frazier in the dugout drinking of red bull general thoughts okay. I love it. Because i think a guy like frazier will lock in with a red bull. It's not even the energy it's more of like the concentration you get you get like some people i do when i drink caffeine or red bull it my i can see the ball better. I could see things better. I can concentrate harder. And i feel like that's a good thing for a guy like Clint frazier it's just a matter of not hitting too many. You think him drinking red bull has anything to do does him. Drinking red bull have to do with his. When was the red bulls scene was he. He's been i think he drinks red bull even when he's when he's not playing just to just to just do it. He's probably been drinking red bull since he's been playing yak since he's been playing in like middle school red bulls a good thing a good thing for sure so the next one is from daniel. No last name kinda like mclovin and super bad far more generic yes. There could be a lot of daniels. he says. Call this early season overreaction. I counter that. There's a two plus seasons sample size. That supports it yes. The yankees pitching hasn't been great but at least on paper. The offense should be good enough to score five plus runs on a regular basis. When when is it time to start to move on from some of these boomer bust three true outcome guys including stanton gary voight hex river and bring in some guys who ceilings aren't as high but would give you more consistent contact at the plate and consi- consistency in the field. I feel like two or three. Three more of these guys will help bring success because we are too heavy the other way we. This is a mailbag of topic of conversation that we've had practically every single show for the last two years. We can't keep beating it. I think everybody here is on the same page. We get it. This is not the ideal way to to construct lineup. You can't just have. I mean against some some will say some nerds. Obviously someone did say that. This is the way to do it. But we're also watching the people that are the teams that are winning the world series. The teams that you know you look past the last four or five years of contact. Lot of contact. Lot of baserunners lockerbie home runs too but a lot of baserunners included it. Because i wanted to ask you guys this question if the yankees flame out in the playoffs for the exact same reasons in twenty twenty one that they didn't twenty nineteen eighteen seventeen because they are incapable of hitting in key situations and the yankees afterwards in their post season. Press conference brian. Cashman aaron boone. Sit there and tell us how close we are. do you think event. Like what is the breaking point for them saying okay. This isn't working. It's now a five-year sample. I think it's all about where the contracts are right now to be honest. I think it's i think that's it's not a problem for when you have talented guys. But it's part of the problem because they can't move too many guys unless there's a just a big trade you could you could it but it would not be an easy you really have to. You'd really have to move a significant guy. And i just think it's easy to do to to get the value back in what you're trying to get. It's hard to do that now. I mean think thinking about the contracts that they have that are immovable. Non movable yeah in movable contracts state stands. Well then you get into the no you start getting into these guys. That are either guys like judge. Who's a yankee for possibly ever. Who knows but but again not also which is also not part of the problem. He's not the boomer sky. Judge is a guy that is. I know that but you don't have again. But he's not part of the problem. Don't have to keep sanchez. sandra contract labourers us. Andrew geos not central. You could change the but again you'd have to make sure that you got back exactly the type of guy that's going to change this and that's going to be hard. That's hard to do fine. That is hard to do. But but i don't agree with you in saying that they have a bunch of immovable. Guys only have a movable guys if they don't think there are a problem but if they think they're a problem they wanna get rid of them pretty much the entire positions. You're not gonna get a guy. Upstanding and hicks and i guess now lemay hugh because of his six again not part of the problem. You wanna trade with a guy like glacier. You're just going to get the return for the value of a player like labor because his ceiling is so high. And it's a that's a tough. It's a tough guy to move because you better damn well not miss on that trade. You better damn well not miss on that trade for a guy that's controlled and this young and all those things are true for a number of people. I think the opportunities could have been in life. You'll this year could have been a michael branly. It could have been that that could have changed the dynamic. I think of this lineup. a bit. it could've it could've been that way but again when you're looking at the way that this lineup is constructed rousers constructed with the salary cap in instilled here because it is in the name of a luxury tax. They didn't want to do that. And clint frazier. Being part of the whole solution because he's on this roster as well one of the guys that can make. You can make a difference in this lineup. he's not as boomer bust..

"With this. This is a very good opportunity to end this. The mingo her mind Fiasco and and and let's go daddy garcia fifth spot clark schmidt fill in when we need them and that's a very valuable piece in two thousand twenty four after a second tommy johnson said clark schmidt. I'm at i meant sorry. Okay cool for the third one. Obviously there is a lot of controversy unhappy fans when it comes to the lineup specifically hex being in the three spot in general. What is your ideal starting lineup with this current roster cart roster meaning if. Everyone's healthy or rosser meeting monday night. I'm filling out the roster monday night. You're filling out the roster novoye filling out the leno. Okay go ahead. Scott you wanna go first. You want me to go first. Leadoff is leadoff. Aaron hicks hicks is sucking. But i work with me. Hicks judge lemay. Hugh stanton gleyber. Gary actually know. Gary gleyber gio. Clint frazier who the nice guy who Nice guy d. h. Did you give it the h who of extent you deny maybe already did nine yet. Did frazier's okay. All right so i got turned it over right. Secondly guy let's go. I got pretty similar again. I think hicks is a is a perfect leadoff guy. So going hicks. Then i'm going lemay you. I'm going judge. I'm going stanton going gerry. I'm going Gleyber or shallow and treasure fray and. I may go frazier. Show that he's looking. I don't think it matters flipping you're flipping you're flipping judge in the mayhew. Which is fine. I mean the the point here that we're trying to make. Is that just like as we talked about in that can lineup construction. I test versus nerd. Test episode hickson. The three spot is just not the best use of his talents. And not the best use of the roster that you have and now if voice is healthy voice should be hitting fifth behind stan And but i still think hicks should not the three also comes back. Yeah go ahead. And and if i mean if i could choose i would actually love to see hicks. Also batting ninth. I think that could work as well. But part of the way. I'm thinking like okay. What could i- feasibly see the yankees doing while. Also doing what i would do. I see them ever hitting hicks night. I could see them hitting him for what i would like to happen. And the the recent stretch over thirteen over twelve. Whatever it was for frazier is is not helping this case at all but again i'll go back to my argument with On base percentage. And the fact that frazier last year actually did have a higher on base percentage. Then aaron hicks he could be sneaky. Good leadoff hitter again. Dot dot a great time to talk about this because he's been sitting over thirteen. He's the guy who has started to go the other way. I mean that would be wild. That would break the rains that would break nerds brains if it would it. Would it would make me happy. But you're getting now a guy. High on base percentage little bit of a higher motor. I'm not saying he's a stolen base. Guy. 'cause i don't think he is. He still runs with his arms down. I don't know you watch him run next time like he's got like one hand swinging really low. It's a little odd looking to me. But he does make contact. Also speaking of guys running weird does. Is it just me or does aaron judge run with his torso twist. He's usually running looking at the home run. Yeah he's like yeah but he's not phased his torso his shows on a dog runs and it looks like they're running sideways. He's running and his left shoulder is it's like he leads with his left shoulder if he's a running back and he's like expecting contact. That's how he runs. I mean he's he's a he's got good sprint speed for his. Especially i mean it's strides are so free long. Yeah because he's taking of notice that. But i haven't really put much thought i'm going to keep an eye on that now. It looks like he's always looks like he's always facing the fans or like wherever he hit it. It's like he's looking as legs are way and then his face is going like if it's not like we're calling him a bad base runner because actually a good base runner. But it's just it's okay bob. What would your lineup be. Expect this yeah. I would go. I like hicks at the one judge to dj three stan for glee glacier. Gleyber gio in front of gary who's left..

"Will be back in the mix when the yankees need a fifth starter. Again so what would you guys do in this position. is it time to give debbie garcia. Michael king is it time to get them more involved in the rotation or is it too soon. Do you think we kind of touched on this already. But scott so. I think a couple of things here. I'm looking up the but it's like may sex when i'm looking up when the um triple a season starts and it's it's still we still have about a month ish until until those guys can actually get some in game play so i was thinking that. Maybe debbie garcia is. They want him to go. Start the season there again. That's a month away. That's that's a really long term. That's longtime away right now. So i'm I'm second guessing that and thinking that you know that they would probably get him back up a that. That's not the reason that said. If he's talking about that he's going to be back in the mix you know he's gonna be preparing for being the starter staying stressed out doing these things but i hope they don't at this point i would rather see davey garcia. Dvd garcia doesn't really have much approve in in. Triple eight at this point. I think that he's shown that he can compete at the major league level. And he you know. We saw each each time. He got bumped up in the minors that he improved. He improved what he needed to improve. Control was a big thing for him And it's seemingly he's he's you know gotten Gotten much better at that is able to throw strikes and to me. If he's around the plate like you should be up there and And getting that opportunity. You don't want to see what king can do. Though he just had the best outing of. Yeah i mean again. I think he's valuable though in from the bullpen. I think he's more valuable to this team in the bullpen. Because they don't need him in the rotation i think he's going to be more exposed from inner rotations by i. I don't think he's a starting pitcher. You want him to be a starting pitcher so badly. But and i know he's got that next pitch and and it's and it's been good. He's he's really worked his ass off to get there. I think he still plays more number five but along swing man. I think he's valuable for this team. Especially the way that there's uncertainty in the starting rotation because of the guys of kluber tions who are not gonna get you know into into the sixth into the seventh inning. There's going to be we need. We need a guy that if they do get in a little bit of trouble in the third and their pitch counts up. We need someone to be able to pitch and eat innings. Because you don't know what the bullpen is like for the past two days. You don't know having a guy like king is valuable for this team. This is your swiss army knife. This is your army knife situation. This is it. Yeah but but. That's that's why i'm saying that. He deserves to be back on the roster after that performance and i know he was only sent down because he was useless for the next week because he pitched six innings. But he's not normally going to be pitching ranks sixth innings out of the bullpen. Because that's a very unique situation. He's normally going to be pitching a few innings and then he can be used like the chad. Green today pitched into a third inning. He's not gonna pitch for the next. Oh for sure definitely. There are some guys that they're going to rotate us to get another fresh up for but but if you just look at it as as nameless players and you see oh chad green pitch into third inning player expert into a third inning. He's not gonna be available for monday. Or tuesday's game. You would send him down but they're not going to do that. So what's the difference. If you have michael king who comes up and pitches into third inning or into a fourth inning. He's not used for the next but that's my point is for him. I think it's a little different. Because he's got a bridge a a rotations potentially he's got a save the rest of the The the bullpen question does michael king yes. Of course he's getting against or they only gonna use them out of the bullpen. I think i agree. And i think if he's gonna start it's going to be. I mean maybe but this coming week if he's getting this next start. I'm not i'm not going up saying that. He's going to be the guy that's gonna stick in the rotation i. I still think that he's going to be that. That swiss army knife type guy who could come out of the bullpen. Not be the not be locked in here. I know or has a higher ceiling. so what are we. What are we waiting. So then what are we waiting for. But i think there. I think because they think this is how we do it with young pitchers. We have to that stupid every. I know it's dumb. If this guy is ready which seemingly. He is playoff starting all. Put them out there.

"That was the real case and could just been. He was sore as well. And then i just wanted to give it a day and everybody makes a huge thing of this. I mean look. There's everybody's right to do that because there's been a lot of you know not an non clarity how you call it with with him and it seems like the injuries. That don't seem like a big deal. Turn out to be weeks months and is that he was going to miss a couple of games and then they were going to try and get them back in there for one day and then he was going to be pulled in the middle of this game. And it's like oh yeah he's going to have to go on the i l. Forty five days later he's back. Did you see marley. Rivera's question in on the on the zoom call post game. It was between. I think it was between his postgame. Asking about asking boone. Directly is aaron judge. Do would you consider him injured. And he's well more or less a great question. Oh that's why he didn't give an answer now he couldn't and i think maybe potentially that's also kind of leading down that the fact that he did play the next day maybe it wasn't a covid the shot and a lot of talk about it so was injured. Kerley say that can't really say no can't really say yes. I don't know what you do there. What would the reason be for judge not allowing them to tell people. It was because of the vaccine. Maybe he didn't say don't say that but they just can't say it because it's it i didn't say don't say it but i didn't say say it's just messing with everybody because everyone is so fierce public. There's a protocol just like period for you not to talk about. You know things like that at all so it even if the player but even if okay that's fair enough i don't know i don't know i don't know why you're right. They did say not in the lineup because he was feeling sick from the vaccine boom maybe judge thought was maybe he thought it would come across a soft. I don't know and he's sick of people think it he solved so instead overrides they got great. He's going to have an oblique issue. It's going to keep him out for six months. Yeah now our expectations. Like oh my god. He's in the lineup for all excited. You know who's not in the lineup for two straight days is clint frazier breath for a couple of days. What happens when he struggles over his last thirteen but he had he was off to a hot start. So it's like okay. You give him six days and he's he's good and then the next four days he's bad it's like you're going to really make decisions based on these drastic samples one way or another earn other. He's either you're starting field or he's not if if he's got this tiny leash with clint frazier. It's not gonna work again as long as brad gardner's on his roster boondoggle just lean on brett gardner because he's a veteran any loves them fine. But it's not gonna work if you're going to have this short of leash with frazier. No they definitely need to allow him to work out of things. I mean it's so early in such a small sample size to. It's tough to tough to even sit see that that was the reason because of the i mean. He clearly said that he was not benching him. It was just a matter of the plane. Whatever you like sit hicks another day and let let frazier play the game. The guy needs reps. We want him out there. He's one of our best. Ob guys i don't care if he's a slump him out there every day every day key she in fact helps this lineup get get a little bit different he does. He is part of the solution. He's not part of the problem or prior to the oh for thirteen. I think he was. He didn't reach base in his last thirteen plate appearances prior to that he had like a five fifty on base percentage again. We're talking about a few games here. It's not it's that see. It's very difficult to go anywhere. No matter what you want to give them a day after going over thirteen fine give them a day for going after going over thirteen. Get back in their boots that he'll be back in there monday. Good he just liked the way. Brett gardner was going head to get him in there. Okay that's a feel thing. Fighter carter actually has had competitive and brett gardner had a a bat late in the game against a left handed reliever which i was surprised like. That's an opportunity if you're going to pinch hit for brett gardner lefty on lefty brek gardeners terrible against lefties at this stage in his career. And yes. I know like kay in florida we're talking. Oh the razor. Just gonna counter with another random reliever fine but so you're deciding okay. I'm more confident in lefty on lefty matchup with garner than righty unready. Matchup with clyde frazier. Yeah no. It's definitely telling surprised. Because i thought that was an obvious move but no. He went with the veteran guy. And you know garnered has had good at a boneheaded a play today. Although i got i i'm going to defend him. A little bit on the base paths because when that balls up in the air. It's hard to see where it is. I think depth perception wise and most timed apples kicking back. Not just straight up. It was kind of like a very favourable. Bouncers in you know so. I like his aggressiveness. It didn't work out. Unfortunately it made him look stupid and it was a bad time but it's hard it. I think it might have been a tough ball to read at the place..

"Do i think that's how were you not expecting this. Of course this is going to be my first question. I mean i'll have to go with i. I like scotts. I do like scotts. Outside of the broad nick nelson. I like the optimism with judge. One hundred forty games fifty home runs. Mvp above that. Clint frazier big. Fan of clint frazier. I'm just swag got swag. I'd love to see him. Have a good season and german. I saw that one resonating in the in in bob. Turns is when i was saying to to win this question jer. Montgomery i'm optimistic for him as well. I'd love to see him. Have a really good season and yankees going. Seventeen in two orioles. I expect that. I don't know how bold it is because i think they should go seventeen into against the orioles orioles. Just go nineteen zero sugar. They should they should exactly what happened two years ago. Yeah i do. I do like scott set of right all right well. We also got some listener. Submissions to at inc podcast. Twitter wants to go through some of the good ones not the not the bad ones the ones that you deem to be bold enough to read on the podcast top for scott. React to the fight. Get into the top three. I'm going to say my one bold prediction. Which of course. I i think gary sanchez is gonna be the home. Run leader i. I'm i'm really pulling for gary comeback season. I'm i'm all over the the gary comeback train. I think he's gonna hit thirty eight home runs. I'm i am taking into account the fact that i don't think judge stanton gonna go this season without him. The i l. for a significant amount of time Obviously i don't hope that happens. I hope judge hits fifty home runs. I hope.

"It's very difficult to actually quantify that in a number. It doesn't really. It doesn't really add up to a quantifiable stat. You're talking about the eventually got you to say he's going to be behind the five best relievers in the bullpen. Before i get to my my my overall yankees team prediction. It's not an overall season team prediction. But it has to do with the team as a whole. I'm going to go back into the starting rotation and throw number out at you. And i know that this number doesn't matter and baseball as much but i'm gonna tell you why it matters to me. I got jordan. Montgomery winning fifteen games On the the new york yankees. And the reason i have in winning fifteen games is because when i'm looking up and down that rotation i see a lot of uncertainty behind gary cole and i i'd say go on a limb and say that jordan montgomery is probably the least of the uncertain when you're going through through those guys and that he's probably got the highest percentage chance to get through five innings. And when you're talking about the win. Statistic i actually think it's becoming more not including garrett cole what's that you're not include i'll take your across the other guys but fifteen wins is to an impressive feat because what that means is that you're out there for five innings eligible for a win and i don't think that's being taken into consideration as much when people are pooh-poohing and shitting all over the wind stat. Yes the yankees have to score runs. That has nothing to do with what the pitcher is doing. But that pitcher has to be out there for five innings and be able to give them the ability to score those runs. And also. Now i think jordan montgomery is such a crucial piece to the way that the the whole pitching staff lines up towards the end of the season for a lot of the things that you said. You mentioned that you don't think that the the you is going to struggle and i think in order for that not to happen. They have to have a like jordan. Montgomery going out there and throwing consistently five innings plus. Because if they don't if they don't have a guy like jordan montgomery doing that. Who else is going to do it. I don't see anybody else who really is going to be. That guy was going to go out there and consistently throw. Let's call it six innings. Corey kluber very. Well may not be that guy. You can't depend on that guy. Herman maybe her mind we've seen before you know. He gets that five inning mark he becomes a different guy. So he's got a show that to me. Jordan montgomerie has the repertoire. The amount of pitches to to really eat some innings. And i think he's going to have a much better year than i think. A lot of people are expecting. And i see him as emerging as as dependable guy in there Behind garrett cole. And i think that he's because of that. And because he's going to eat some innings and the score a local runs the residual effect. Fifteen wins fifteen. Wins is the new twenty wins. Because even i just looked at jordan montgomery and his twenty seventeen season in which he was second in was his second rookie of the year or is the second best rookie pitcher that you're right behind a former. He only won nine games and he. He was fantastic for most of the year. Kneeling stone didn't even win double digits. So it's really hard to get wind. So i guess yeah. That is pretty bold pitchers now. It's like you have a great season and you went eleven games. So everything's auto with the wind. But i think a lot of that comes down to his well when you're being pulled from the game and and the fact is that guys are getting a quicker hook now and that's how you get in any trouble though when you have to have patience with a couple of these guys in the middle and jordan. Montgomery i hope it jordan montgomerie has to be one of those guys because i just don't i don't see them doing it with own. No expert action. Cooper if cooper becomes If they see him as a as a guy that's that's that is seemingly healthy. Maybe they will write him a little bit more. Because there's really not that much to lose. But again i think they're going to try to protect him and have him at his best towards the end of the year which again puts now montgomery. Who's far enough away from that. Tommy john surgery where he's really getting back into that into that window. Where you see guys have Sustained sustained success. And really get back to you. Know having the same action on their On their pitches and from what we saw last year and early in spring. I like what i i like. The i like the velocity like the the action on his breaking stuff. I think he's poised for a good year my next predictions also about the rotation and it was spawned because of how they lined up for six games where they're going to go. Garrett cole corey kluber herman montgomery and then go back to garrett cole and five days s and then use tie. I think they are planning on. Managing tatyana includes workloads especially in the first couple months of the season that we talked about tehran's in a couple of weeks back and how he said. Well we didn't put a number on it but he also did mention one hundred and thirty innings as like a target. But if it's more he you know he's not putting a number on it but then he did put a number on it sort of thing so i don't see the yankees leaning heavily on either of those starting pitchers i think their plan is limited. Both of their workloads throughout the season so they can be healthy in september and october. At least that's their plan. That's how they hope it goes. So my prediction is that w garcia is actually gonna start more games than jameson. -ton corey kluber. Debbie garcia will make twenty four starts. Tawil make twenty three starts and corey. Kluber will make seventeen starts. I think mainly kluber will be lowest. Because he will spend some time on the injured list and i think photon it's going to be. They're going to be heavily managing his workload. He's going to get a lot of skip. Start throughout the season. I could see that. I definitely could. I think i think we talked about this. At one point and the way that i had in my head was that tions going to be more of an innings and pitch count per start guy that they're gonna keep an eye on rather than the actual starts because you know when you start skipping starts with a guy like that who's coming back with new mechanics like now you're playing with different different sets of risks. I think by adjusting the days off and All of those things getting out of a rhythm. But i could see on a on a given start like there's a. There's a limit. There's like a a very very hard pitch limit per start. I think that's a little miniature. More wouldn't be surprised if they skip to start here and there. But i think they are already kind of planning on skipping his. I know three days but then lighten how it lines up is. He's not gonna make another start for another seven days so just getting into the season thing. I think you're looking too much into that. But maybe you're wrong in the sense that they're going to manage those two guys for sure right so they hope that kohl's rock that like you said montgomerie takes a huge step forward and can be in every every five days type guy..

"Home. Run guy and let me tell you why last year when you look back at his numbers and i will use two thousand twenty as part of my argument here because it does help my case and also it was a a transition year for him. It was a development. So i feel like that's part of you could use if it's a short series and it's a guy whose developing like taking that next up you kind of have to look at it a little bit more. I guess for trends but not necessarily total impact. But when i'm looking at what he did last year and I was surprised by his on. Base percentage was was one that that really got me. And i'm really struggling to pull this frigging move to go. See richard rodriguez. Thank you very much Here we go the twenty twenty season. His on base percentage three ninety four. You're you're looking at a a guy who has drastically improved. I think the approach at the plate. We saw him going the other way a lot more. I mean you're you're talking about a guy who has an on. Base percentage very close to aaron hicks is doing clip. Frazier's a just you see the amount of walks he had. You could tell that. His his approach at the plate was very much different. It was tweaked in a way where he was not looking to pull the ball all the time. I don't know how many how many in two thousand eighteen when he came or nineteen when he came up and we saw glimpses of him. How many foul balls look like. They were gonna kill back kid because he's trying to pull a ball. That's you know. That was his approach the entire time that lightning quick bats that that's all we saw was the ball and foul. He's he's more patient. He's more mature. He's taking a better approach. The plate and i think he's going to because of that he's gonna see the ball fly over the wall a lot more and it's not just going to be the left field we're gonna see centerfield. We're gonna see right field. He's really taking that judge approach where he's going to spray the ball. I think lemay who's been good Influence on him. So i got. I got clint frazier. Thirty home runs. I think that is going to be a direct correlation of his plate discipline and the the pictures that he's swinging at because of his walk percentage i think is going to continue to increase and looking back at his on base percentage. I was really impressed. I didn't realize as high as it was too. That's very impressive. Especially because he had to sixty seven batting average should have a three ninety four. Ob is very impressive. I don't know if that sustainable for him because he's more of an aggressive type hitter but if he can be three sixty i mean. that's fantastic. Give i put the over under three sixty this year. Are you taking the over the under on that. I'm taking over. Because i think he's just a more disciplined player in general. I think he's he's really owning that zone. He understands where his strengths are and where his week. This is our. I think at this point or at least he's very much learning that and i think an owning it and not trying to be that Overly aggressive like you said overly cocky guy that has all the confidence in the world that he can do things but understanding that there are situations where he has to play to his strengths. More and not let the pitcher dictate what's going to happen. I think that was happening a little too much early on and again it's just i think maturity and discipline is a big piece of this and it's just a player coming into his own. I also made a clint frazier. Predictably dial and i could tell by the look on his face. I also made a clint frazier prediction. And it's not that different from yours. So i feel kind of kind of annoyed with you. i said. Clint frazier will lead the yankees in games played with one hundred and fifty five and he will hit twenty five home runs. That was my prediction. the reason name was twenty. Five home runs. You know what's that. Dj lemay who. It's twenty five home runs. The reason i said he will lead the yankees in games played is because i think there's going to be injuries to aaron hicks and to aaron judge so even if brett gardner is playing over one hundred games which will probably happy and clint frazier will still get significant playing time. And he's the youngest guy in the outfield and he's the healthiest guy in the outfield. Knock on wood. I don't know about thirty home runs. I think he's he's still probably more of a line drive hitter and if the ball is truly a little bit deduced we might not see thirty. Plus but really. What's the difference between twenty five and thirty over the course of one hundred sixty two games are in this case. One hundred fifty five game by. Thanks but it really. That's not that different for for for production. It's five home runs over. The course of six months to psychological barrier thirty home runs as much better than twenty five home runs. I guess so but at the same time thirty home runs was kind of desensitized to thirty home. Runs so i think if he hits twenty five or thirty home runs but the rest of the league is also mashing home runs because the ball still juice not that impressive but if the home run leaders on the yankees are forty four giancarlo stanton and he hits twenty five or thirty home runs. That's that's much more impressive type of type season from him. So i mean. I think we're a prediction from us. Well a it is different in the sense that i'm very surprised that you think he's going to lead the team in games played because of the way the outfielder so muddied up right now with the amount of guys that are out there. I understand. you're basing that on injury which is sick too sick sick pessimistic way to approach that but the fact that the fact that is out there the fact that mike talk men's on the roster jay. Bruce can play right field if needed. Stanton complain the outfield. There's a lot of guys that can play out there. So i'm just having any outfielder as the guy leading that charge to me is a is is is interesting and coming from you more interested in. It's more even more interesting. I i look at a guy like digital may as a no-brainer to to lead the team in games played because he can play multiple positions. He could play first base understanding jay. Bruce is there now no novoye. He could slide over to third base. He can play multiple positions and he's just like every day he's that guy that can go out there so dj limit. He was my second choice for leading games play. But that's not that bold. These are bold prediction. Scott are predictions there. It's a little like okay. okay. I think it's a little but do you think about that. One did you think would. Would you think that carry any weight. I didn't i mean. I think it's fair to take into account the injuries i think i think i think it's fair and i always have numbers for my predictions. Okay i'm i'm either putting a name to my prediction or a number two my prediction. I'm not predicting that. Nick nelson is going to take a step forward this year. I'm sorry but when you're talking about the bullpen..

"Has made the roster. I mean everybody that was going to happen as much as people didn't want that to happen. Everybody knew that was going to happen. Because but i will. There has been some We got a real five back over here now holder who also play shortstop who's known for his glove former believers a first round. Pick back in like he was. He was one of those. Those early picks that the yankees made on the infield that that had gloves but never really panned out on the offensive side which is exactly what they have. Three guys Ceo culverts another one. Who did that. It was over holder and weighed all three. All three guys could play defense. Offense was never there. And i think that's that's where you if you look back at the way that they've drafted shortstops. You see a pattern there but a guy that can that can play the field well and you know maybe he can handle the bat a little bit better than wade. It could be an option down the road For those guys commando though again it would have to be. I think it's a situation where you know. The time just runs up on tyler wade and there's a guy that does similar things in and that's what happened so who knows. It's kind of a long shot but yeah it was interesting. It was of note for sure. Yeah and dietrich. All accepted his option. Down to Alternate site and also robinson street us. They resigned him and he'll be added to the alternate site as he's rehabbing and his initially was a six week timetable so that kind of puts him sometime in late. April i believe and they just needed needed the catching depth as insurance. I think so. We thought torino's was never not going to be an option anymore because of the issue but turns out. We might see him at some point this year. And it's a good thing to have a major league catcher back there. I mean he probably just didn't want to understand rehab And get everything back right and play again. But so that's why he accepted that or the option. And he's he he he understands that this first month or two or go to be crucial for the yankees and the catching position. So having that that major league veteran catcher sitting in aaa is a good thing for us for sure. Yeah because if if it does come situation where. Gary sanchez loses his job. I don't know how he's going to be as backup catcher. They might need to figure something else there. Well that's the other thing just having death in the backup catching position. I mean who knows anything could happen with hickey. As well having a guy like that does provide good depth and and they were very thin without. I mean there are still very thin until he's healthy but it's a good option to have anything else from spring training final thoughts before we move onto bold predictions and finally get to the regular season feels like spring training. Took six years the the pictures of the guys flying back over new york at night seeing the lights and i think geo posted on his instagram. It's it's just a it's just one of those check marks. You know what i'm saying like it's cool to see that it's called the city lights with these guys flying over you know with the With them coming back to the bronx. It's a longtime common so glad glad that that that is happening. And that we'll we'll see some fans in the stands. Tomorrow's gonna be a fun day garrett cole. First time. he's pitching in front of yankees fans first time. It's going to be great. I guess return real real for real so he can as he as he said. The other ones were dry humps. It's great quarter. That's a lot of dry helping the Can we confirm if there were pods on that plane. We got that tweet from someone like they tweeted a picture of of the of the giant plane. It's like come on. Can we get twenty six pods for these guys. It's it's a three and a half hour flight. North just customize betcha gives some get some get some pods in there. Let's let's learn from our mistakes. I'll never forget picture. You've giants on your. You have literally a number of them now. there's more share from. I believe it was the two thousand nineteen season of aroldis chapman sleeping on the plane and he had his feet like crammed up against the seat in front of him. Like all the chapin. The dude six five whatever unlike. How is this a professional baseball team. That's how soft tissue hamstring injuries by being cramped up on a plane for four five three hours. Whatever it is getting up trying to walk it off and just doing something a little different walking down those stairs crisp you know Two am air. It's it's it's a. It's an opportunity for soft tissue injury waiting to happen every single time. I hate it. You've heard us talking about it.

"yankees" Discussed on The Bronx Pinstripes Show - Yankees MLB Podcast
"No knees. I don't know if he ever retired but i don't think he's playing baseball again. Okay he might still be under contract to be honest so that's why he hasn't retired. Yeah right hand signed brad hand side with nationals for one year ten and a half million bucks This is a move that i kind of wish the yankees were willing to make and not worry about the luxury tax one year. Ten and a half million bucks. You add another quality arm to the bullpen one and done kind of in a vacuum in a vacuum. It's the yankees. Were never going to do it because of the luxury tax. But don't you agree like that could have been useful signing. Yeah could have gotten a lot more out of him. Probably than at amount of you know. I saw another report that the yankees are looking to dump atom out of. You know they were. They looked like they were trying to dump it in the pittsburgh area. Go take this gotcha. As if it was your boy who is your big signing. He had a good first year. It a great first year. He just saying it really sucked in two thousand nineteen. That's been broken. That was your guy though. I mentioned okay. I mentioned gary sanchez. Earlier pudge rodriguez did a wfan interview. And he had some interesting coming out or something talking to wfan. to be honest. gary sanchez. Guys i got something to say about gary sanchez. What apparently they are. Play for the yankees. I don't know that they're friendly. I don't wanna say friendly. But they have talked and worked together. A few times but only punches. Puerto rican and gary's dominica god oil and water. No no. i'm just saying. Like i. At first i was like oh. Maybe they've got a dominican connection. Then i remember. Pudge rodriguez is puerto ricans. He may be the best. Puerto rican one of the best puerto rican baseball players evidence. Beltran says says no to that. Carlos beltran cheater pudge rodriguez probably did a bunch of steroids when he was in texas. All right. pudge rodriguez said he doesn't enjoy baseball right now. He feels like he comes to the ballpark. And it's depressing thing for him right now. That's what i see. When he's playing. I think too much pressure on himself is trying to do too much of talk to him a few times. And he's very positive. But gary plays in an organization in a city. Where obviously you have to do a good job pretty much. Every night. he needs to breathe. He needs to relax himself. He needs to believe that he's a great player because now the mental part of his game is not there. He feels like everything else. He doesn't have. Baseball is depressing for gary sanchez. Says hall of famer pudge. Rodriguez is absolutely right. This is exactly what we've been talking about this. This this is where. It's falling short for gary right now. It's the mental side of the game. He's got a he's got to believe in himself. He's got all the god-given ability to mash the ball and he's got a a rocket arm he's got all the abilities in the world that's why he's still on this team. That's why the leash along with him. He's gotta get. I've been saying this for years. He needs a frigging sports coach. He needs a sports therapist. Like you need someone just like psychologist. Fix thank you. He needs to fix the mental game to see the fueled. The what was it. I keep going back to this. Move as ball bagger vance he has a see the field like block everything out see. That doesn't golf movie. Good golf movie. Will smith caddy. Not ben affleck the other. One matt damon. What am i thinking of. What's what's the one with kevin costner. I'm thinking of called tin cup where he hits the ball in the water like one hundred times. The it's an amazing it's a it's a great movie Is kevin costner. The best sports movie actor ever does he have the best. Does he have the best sports movie on his. Imdb page he's got. He's got to hall of fame classic baseball movies in Field of dreams and bull. Durham he also has for love of the game. Which is an underrated movie. He's got ten cup. He did draft day. Which i haven't seen solid but very different not. It was entertaining. Also that haven't seen yeah. I think he's up there. I definitely think out there. He's saying ten cop is one of these movies. That's just a phenomenal phenomenal movie. I look he's got he's got to figure it out in his in his in his brain man. That's it like you just gotta get gotta get to that good place get. He's got to get to that happy place he's gotta go stand in front of a. You've gotta be happy. He's gotta imagine his grandmother and a field of whatever. It is whatever that happy. Whatever that happy places. Gary sanchez needs to go there. Because do you know in happy. Gilmore when Shooter mcgavin is like making out with his grandmother instead. Ask gary and gary gary's disturbed happy place is is just like kyle. Gosh yoga like making out with gary. All it's terrible words. Joe joe girardi been been militant and screaming at him. Look i want gary sanchez to succeed. Because you know. Why if gary sanchez is playing. Well it's a very very good thing for the new york yankees. And i'm a new york yankees fan when gary sanchez is an earlier. I folks when jerry sanchez is not playing. Well it's not good for the yankees. Because then we all have to hitch our wagon to kyle ishioka. That's not the best thing in the world. Gary sanchez is bar none the best catcher on this team. He just needs to show it now. And it's gotta be it's between the ear soul. Very much and padre padre guess who clearly has a relationship with gary sanchez is being just the doubling down on this That we've thought for a long time and And proving it to be true so it would just be so fantastic as a yankees fan this year. If we didn't have to have. Gary sanchez talks all season about. If he's gonna start if he's going to not start if he can be the starting catcher because that that's been going on for three seasons whether it's austin roe mind or whether it's cuyahoga yoga like i just don't. I'm so tired of having the conversation. I just want gary like you said to play well so he can shut everyone up and we can just stick him behind the plate..

"yankees" Discussed on The Bronx Pinstripes Show - Yankees MLB Podcast
"What's up everyone. Welcome to the bronx pinstripe. Show episode five hundred and ten acres mid a move jameson on after fifteen minutes of google and figure out how to pronounce his last name. I am ninety nine point. nine percent. sure it's thanh. Because i found a sports net pittsburgh broadcast that introduced the man and you know what the yankees got corey. Kluber corey kluber. I am far more excited about the tie on acquisition. Am corey kluber. I feel like at least. I don't know why. Maybe it's just a trade and it's not the yankees going back to the well of. Let's see if this previously all star level player can recapture some magic and stay healthy and let's be. Let's sorta gamble on that. I understand tie on has his own injury history but at least he's on the younger end. At least there's some new upside there right that the like the unknown as exciting. I guess i feel like you're talking yourself into this one. I'm i'm a very excited about this. Because yes the guy has injury history. He's he's back from his second. Tommy john john. That's a rare club. That's a rare club him nathan of all day talking about but so he's been ready to throw going on bullpens since september of last year like the guy was trying to get into games and he's got all the upside in the world like that's the beauty about him. You say he's young. He's twenty nine years old. So he's youngish. He's he's he's under thirty. That's good is younger than me. He's he's youngish and he's got pedigree like unbelievable pedigree and not too long ago two thousand eighteen. He showed what he could do. He had a very good season. And through a lot of innings. So i'm very excited about this. Because i think this is this is exactly where cashman does this is what we were talking about. This was the way that they were going to add. They were going to find the opportunities across baseball. Cashman was gonna look for these opportunities and and make a trade. That was a a lo- Low value for against the cap for this year and and probably trade minor. That your state didn't give anything up if you wanna look at dot mcgill I'm sorry go johore her. It was probably the one that you'd be looking at me like we saw him a little bit. He did show some decent stuff but again not the yankees. Have half a dozen of miguel. You hurries in the minors that hard right handed throwing catches like are probably bullpen arms. Yes they have a solid handful of them and they're all pretty damn close to each other as far as what the upside is. The all of them just need to have some control. If they have control they will get They will get an opportunity that being said this is a starting pitcher six five Former number two pick a long time ago but a former number two pick. Oh and by the way one of his best friends if not his best friend in baseball is garrett cole to me wasn't a big deal someone posts in our group something from instagram stories of the two of them get someone posted. That's not current right. That's not a car i will. I will believe that it's from yesterday. Did you look like they were in. That look like they were in a college kid. No no they were just hanging out in like a basement bar or something drinking some wine. That's what it looks like. They were doing. I think that that very well could have been. I think that's an old picture from their on a picture of its on his instagram literally daycare. At kohl's it's a it's a gift it's back and forth. Yeah of him choosing an old. It doesn't matter. Here's the thing their friends. And it's beautiful. And the fact that he. I've heard multiple interviews. Now this guy talking a couple of other podcasts that you know he just wasn't at a level of maturity when when he was with caracul to be on that level were gear kohl's like years above beyond anybody else now. He's at a point where he can start to to to drink that water a little bit more. Let's drink that gatorade. And i think you're going to have a good impact. Obviously the biggest thing here is if this guy can stay healthy this. This is what i'm about to say. I really has no no basis in reality or anything like that. So this i don't put in the same category as cashman trying to trade for james paxton are trying to trade for sonny gray or even Pineda those guys. Laura and much lower risk that those guys were brought in to be potentially the yankees ace they all had as potential or they were aces on their previous team. They were brought in to save the yankees rotation and there was pretty decent prospects going back to the other team number one prospects. Two of those cases. Yeah in pineda's case it was. It was just montero who i know flopped completely but he was the yankees number one prospect at the time and was projecting a damn good hitter when he was with the yankees and then sunny grace case. They gave some injury. Risk is but three All was in the top. Ten billion was the yankees farm as top five. I believe the time he was. He was all all three of the players that they've traded to oakland. Were in the top seven of the yankees system when they when they traded him at the time and then for james paxton justice sheffield was the yankees number one pitching prospect when they made that trade so those are much more high profile prospects going to the other team in the pitchers coming to the yankees. Were had a lot higher expectations. This one's lower. This is a lower radar. Move james tien. Jamison is not expected to be the yankees number one pitcher. He's not even expect to be the yankees number two pitcher and maybe it's foolish but that gives me more confidence hill actually contribute and and and and help but the but the biggest thing for him is injury history. So that's that's the biggest thing for him. The you're you're a To tommy john expectations are made us. Your expectations are managed that. That's that's the number one thing for you. You can't have expectations. That are higher. Or if garrett cole wasn't here you would not like this move because you would see it as trying to dig up a number one somewhere you put words in my manipulated trade and then seeing potential and then not actually going after it. That's what you would think because there's nothing in this guy's history that says he's a number one pitcher. He had good season in two thousand eighteen. He's not and what not a number one season in two thousand and it was. It was a solid it a very good season. Yes i know that in the national league in the national league central. It's it's it's just different. The talked about actually central but the american league east specifically for offenses like the top division in baseball for the last ten years so he's had some rest he's good he's got he's got a year and a half off and there's certainly risks because now potentially by the time july rolls around twenty twenty one the yankees are relying on two pitchers in their starting rotation in their first season. Back from tommy johnson. Yeah for sure. Severino severino entirely on And who knows if miguel turns into a number one pitcher in pittsburgh. We're going to say brian cashman. You're stupid more on. Why'd you make that trade. But i don't think any of those prospects that the yankees gave up are going to turn into awesome players for the for the pirates. They're all kind of lottery ticket. Prospect guys. it was a good move. It was an absolutely it was it was a it was a shrewd move..
