Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to Waken Jake, Myself, BBD and the
King of the North Joe's McFly with some breaking news
today in the baseball world that made me want to
specially tap into Uncle Joe's. But it'll be a jolly
jos oh week. We'll have jolly on Wednesday. Maybe we'll
tap in a zoo at some point. Joseph, how how
(00:24):
are you you look like you're you look you look sad?
You look downright? Sad?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh? Garret Cole's going for an MRI that the Yankees
say is precautionary. That can't mean anything, right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
If you haven't heard Garrett Cole going for an MRI
and his elbow. Hey, everyone, I hope you had a
good weekend. Change the whole mood of the office today
with news that Aaron Judge was banged up and the
Yankees have some very Yankee quotes around that. I also
(01:01):
wanted to talk some of the other baseball news that
happened this weekend. Noelvie Marte got suspended. He's on the juice,
sauce or the steam.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Is it an injection or pill?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
BBD sounded like injection. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That that's not good.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Stinks. You know. Unfortunately people are still trying to he
didn't get He could have just gotten his money right
just by being him. I don't think he needed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And did you know the new short stuff for the Dodgers'
Mookie Bets.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He do it, he's probably gonna win a go glove
because he's Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
We'll talk about that in a little bit. Let's as
we already did, dive right in. You know, there's a
lot of you that appreciate the Yankees talk. Maybe some
of you don't, and maybe you'll fast forward, but we're
gonna get pretty Yankees with myself, Joe's and Biebs here.
I mm hmm. It's spring training facts March eleventh. I
(02:19):
come into injuries unless you know, in football or basketball,
you know when you see the achilles pop or whatever
it is that you you know, you know that's that's done.
You know, in baseball, I hate watching the videos, but
(02:43):
when the pitcher like has their arm like they throw
it in their arm stacks and you're like.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Okay, well they walk off like that, That's.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's when you know spring training in baseball. And this
is where Aaron Judge. The next updates are very important
for me because Aaron Judge took a swing. He grimaced.
There's cameras everywhere. I can spend the good and the bad.
We could look back at this in a week. Aaron
Judge has played the spring training game. Since then, a
(03:16):
couple hits, you're good. I mean sometimes a hitter will
get beat on a pitch and they'll WinCE a little bit. Yeah,
you know, should have hit that. A lot of the
other starters got more at bats. Trent Grisham wanted to
replace him. Yankees came out today and they said he's
got a little bit of the oh spring training boogie.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
They said, it's a mid spring.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's the mid spring beat up.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The mid spring beat up, beat up. The Yankees and
their colds are so weird.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I can deal with that, and I'm actually gonna spend
this in an optimistic way. The Yankee said he'll play Wednesday.
They said that they didn't have to. They could have
said he'll play this week, right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
He specifically said Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
They said he's gonna play Wednesday. If Aaron Judges in
the lineup Wednesday, that whole conversation. I'm not gonna waste
my good breath on that. Unless you again, it's spring training.
It's Aaron Judge. Even if he wins his once pull
(04:39):
him out of the game, it's spring training. I don't
I don't need to. If he's not in the lineup Wednesday,
I'm gonna get a little nuts Like I can feel
it brewing. Let's put that to the side. You know,
the Yankees lineup looks a little better. The wind saying
(04:59):
would probably be obleak or have you seen some hip
text in the Talking Yanks chat. Let's see what that is.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We could table it for now. But I will be
upset at quotes come Wednesday. If he's not in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I will be upset. And I don't get upset a lot.
On the other side, Garrett Cole went for an MRI
on his pitching elbow, right his right arm. Good call,
(05:36):
Trevor Plufe. Cut me, cut me deep inside. Because for
any of the spring training stuff I can give you,
that's kind of like, well, you know, he's Garrett Cole,
and you should be careful with Garrett Cole. He's another
three hundred million dollar guy. It's spring training, large investment.
Be careful with Garrett Cole Cole, wouldn't it be getting
(06:01):
an MRI if something's not up in there in a
significant way.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Something doesn't feel right enough to warrant getting an MRI
because players don't like getting MRIs.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They hate getting ris are bad news.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, and they just don't like being in that too.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
He's getting looked at by multiple doctors. That's normal, multiple opinions.
The Garrett Cole news is pretty tough.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Garrett Cole news is pretty tough. And you know then
the Martino till he came out, which is him talking
about like, oh, the Yankees are not overly concerned. This
is more precautionary, and you know the Yankees are just
trying to like just rule it out right. I am
legit worried. I think that's I think that's more Yankees
(07:04):
negotiation tactic. If they are still talking to Boris about
Snell now more than before. And I just I hope
he's okay. I hope he's okay, because you cannot lose
a cy Young Award winner, right, and even worse, you
(07:28):
cannot lose a cy Young Award winner and MVP. Yeah,
that's and expect to replace that. I mean, I understand
Next Man Up. You remember twenty nineteen, right, Next Man Up,
and that was a cool storyline. It's not if this happens,
is not next Man Up, it would be next year up.
(07:50):
Because it's like, so, how about how do you replace
those guys?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So you're okay, that's I'm not gonna say obvious, but yes,
you just said Cy Young winner last year, Garrett Cole
MVP two years ago, Aaron Judge. If those two guys
are out, If Garrett Cole is out, let's say Judge
(08:16):
is good. Yeah, Wednesday lineup comes out? Okay, Aaron Judge,
center field bat second O. Sure, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I literally just I told you this as soon as
I came in outside that I just finished making and
editing a video talking about how because people kept saying, hey,
Joe's are you concerned with the Yankees starting pitching and
their eras the spring being so inflated and people getting rocked,
I'm like, you don't know what people are working on.
The only time we should be concerned is if they
(08:51):
have an injury. Guess what That video was never uploaded.
Another one was.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Though, what would that video say?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
There are tears?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Did you cry? No? No, okay, did you know, every
time you answer, you're saying no, but you're making it
more suspect. No, if Garrett Cole is not a part
of this Yankee season, can they win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Technically yes, likely no, But the Texas Rangers do exist,
and the gram did get injured last year, right, and
Max Schurzer, who they traded for, was not part of
their postseason really, so they did win the World Series.
So it's possible, but you would need to, like other
(09:58):
things have to go right, like really right right for
that to happen. You gotta get to the playoffs, and
the ale Ease is not like some sort of cake
walk either. So let us just hope, That's all I
gotta say. Let us just hope.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
If Garrett Cole is out, you could.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Go from maybe making the playoffs to selling so that line,
which would stink. And I'm not talking about that. I
did not even bring that up.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You brought that up never, It was never brought up.
The whole mood at the office changed today, which is
still a funny thing. Come come Yankee Land.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Jimmy called out like everything like everything was like like different,
like GIMMI on a Monday after warehouse shows up here
at four am. Cole gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean the news didn't come out.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I know, I know, so I think he knew. Do
you think.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You think Jimmy's on the inside? Now, what do you
think of Jimmy's sire?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
That would be big brain plays. And by the way,
if you don't know what the theory is, Jimmy says,
I connected the dots, okay. Boris said, Hey, why don't
you just go get a precautionary quote unquote MRI on
that healthy elbow of yours and I'll get you Blake
(11:28):
Snell on your team. I don't know how ethical that is,
but I mean he and then you know, maybe it
pushed his negotiations just a little bit more. I don't know.
I'm interested if that happens. That's like wonderful case scenario.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If Garrett Cole is out for the season, Blake Snell
is a free agent. Yes, that means any team can
get Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, Yes, another picture out there as well that we
could talk about. You know who I'm thinking about?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, which one? You can say it in the counter
of three.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
No ways?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
One t J Montgommery.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I would I didn't even get a chance.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You just said your own name. How about this, what
would be the number that Snell's contract would have to
come back at that you'd say, oh, that's it's okay.
(12:57):
The Yankees weren't involved in that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh if he gets like if you get something over two.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hundred, I was gonna say two.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Okay, yeah, I think six two hundred is.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So no short term money can possibly scare you off.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Basically no, I actually too short kind of scares me off.
The Yankees one year deal. I don't like that. Okay,
two year deal, I even though I like three year
deal minimum three to five. Right, If you're doing that,
then you're getting good years from him, give him his
opt outs after the third year. That would it makes sense.
(13:37):
But I just don't like Yankees losing draft picks, losing
losing draft picks, losing you know, losing him and then
not getting a pick for him the next year. And
then it's like if for one year it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Make you can't do one year.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You can't do one year, can't do one year? Not possible,
could could dumb it would be.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, it's just precautionary.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, cautionary. Man, that sounded sad.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Has been a little sad.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Hey, a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Max mannis is very sad. He's crazy, said, yeah, John sad.
John coming up with theories is always the theory. Betweening
the theories, tweeting the theories means Jim's because we hear
a lot of theories. A lot of theories do not
get tweeted.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
When he's tweeting straight to the he.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Wants to like create co create that. Hmm mmmm, Now
that's a bad place.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Orioles fan. Kevin was walking around a little.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it was a little I don't appreciate.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
That he wasn't being silly, which is his version of
being toxic.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, and that that.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Developing news in Yankee Land. All of us are very
scared because if you remember Joe's they traded for Wan
Soto and they technically only have him for one year.
He's having an awesome spring.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He's having a great time.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Josie struck out twice today means nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, looks good in pinstripes. Got a little bit of
a bounce to his steps.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh yeah, he looks so good.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He's got that pinstripe bounce.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But we need him with help.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We need him with help. God I mean, we'll see
what what information we have By Wednesday, we're supposed to
get a Yankee. We'll get a Yankees lineup in the morning.
Garrett Cole, do we know when we're gonna next update? No?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Right, as a recording this on Monday, they basically just
there was a there was a tweet that said no
update today.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They said no update tomorrow either.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
They said maybe not tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But I'm thinking, I'm thinking Wednesday might be like one
of those days. It's either a great day and who
we dodge bullet or okay, contingency plans.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because Cole's probably just a smart guy. It's like, let's precautionary,
get it looked at.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He's a smart guy, but he never wants to look
at his elbow.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You guys see the Nester quotes.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
What's a n Ester quote?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I'll pull it up because.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'd hate I'd hate to, you know, miss. He said,
it's tough to hear the news about Geric Cole's elbow injury.
He even called it alarming. But since Cole knows his
arm and body so well, Cortes is hoping Cole is
getting ahead of any potential injury.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
The thing is can relate because last year he went
through the same thing. His body was not recovering the
way that it normally should after a start, and that's
what Cole is concerned with, concerned enough to get an MRI.
It's happened multiple times. I'm sure it wasn't like a
(17:19):
one time thing. It's happened multiple times now, which is
why we haven't really seen them this like too much
this spring.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Who's worse to lose for the season, Judge or Cole?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean, I'm picking between two kids. I love them both.
I think it's it would be Judge because we've seen
what would happen when we lose Judge for a season.
(17:58):
For the most part, we've seen what happ the new lost,
but for half a season.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
They've added one, so they added.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, but do help is still out there for somebody
to not quote unquote replace Garret Cole, But you know,
kind of softened that blow a little bit. Who's out
there for Judge And he's like the facto kind of
(18:25):
like he's the leader of the team, not the fact
that he's the actual leader of the team captain. He's
the captain of the team. You lose that.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
First year to be captain.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Huh, well no, not if not if he's in the
line on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh I meant last year.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh yes, yes, that's very true.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I forgot that's how was your first year as captain?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh, I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well, I was. I was being a rookie on the.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Eggs learning, rookie learning. He's having a great spring, great
better only three ninety or three eighty.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've seen it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It's not Jeter.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I mean, what are we doing? What? What the hell
was that about? What he just said that?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Speaking of Jeter, down close guy traded for him. Oh,
Mookie Bets, Yes, you open up this this program. You
said he's probably gonna win the Gold Glove. Do you
believe that?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes? I think he can do anything. I legit feel
that Mookie Bets is one of those people that can
do anything. The guy knows how to bowl, the guy
knows how to golf, the guy knows You ever meet
those people that are just kind of like good at
every like really good at everything. Hey man, I never
picked up a hockey stick before and just hitting poet
like just it's like, how are you dotting that? Like that?
(19:58):
I never ice skated before, and like a figure skater,
that's mookie bats.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Anthony Volpi entered today, and I think he had a
hit in today's game too. But enter today, nine spring
training games, twenty three played appearances, three ninety one, four
sixty two five two, it's a nine eighty three ops.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Hit three or nine last year in spring.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Great spring last year, Tyler Wade three twenty one's three
sixty seven four twenty nine, seven ninety five ops.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
He's right under Volpy for some reason.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Trying to make the padres I was.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Title Wade, jan Soto right above Volpy. He's one dot
eighting spring training. Okay, yeah, he's one dot eighting.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Mookie bats this spring, four to sixty four batting average
five forty five OBP.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm excited because in MLB The Show, he's going to
get that short stop label.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Now that's what excites here.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Short stops, second base, outfield. What that's sick?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
If he's right, This was part of we talked about
this a little bit on Talking Baseball. If he's a.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Kevin Looks has issues like throwing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, what's up with that shorts shortstop stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I know it's tough I'm just saying, like like, I
like him, I want him to be right.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Same with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They put a lot on him. Not on him, but.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Like Labor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
For sure, Mookie best plays shortstop.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
If Mookie Bets plays a good short sum, I think
he makes my all time baseball team.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah. And did he play go glove caliber at second base? Actually,
I don't know. I don't know. I haven't looked at
defensive metrics, but I don't think he was bad.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think he was good.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He was good at second base.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
He only played so he had sixty two starts at
second base. The defensive numbers I see like him. He
still played. He started seventy seven games in right field
last year, where he you know, has six goal gloves.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He also had his second highest OPS in a season
last year. His first highest was his MVP season. Last year.
He hit three h seven, four eight and nine to
eighty seven ops, finished second in the MVP, and at
(22:46):
age thirty one, he's gonna play short stop.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Listen Ruth was the Red Sox biggest mistake. I think
the second one was Mookie.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Bats Socks could use a short stop. Sorry too low.
I did want the Yankees to sign. Yeah, so I'll
wear that one. Dude. If he plays shortstop, I'm almost
(23:16):
out in like the most complimentary way, right.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
That just opens up so many options for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He would have an argument, Oh, if this was clickbait. Okay,
this is one of my favorite games to play.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Not exactly who to put it on this thumbnail.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Too, if if John Boy Media was clickbait. If Mookie
Bets plays a good defensive short stop for the majority
of the season one hundred twenty games, okay, you can
(24:03):
make an argument he's like an all time shortstop.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All time shortstop.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Why because shortstops, besides your friend Rod Right who kind
of got kicked out of the shortstop club for moving
a third and the other stuff, shortstops don't.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Hit like this shortstop don't hit like him.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, shortstops don't hit like Mookie Bets. He has a
career ops nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He's so good. Glad he's a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Let's see couple shortstops who could hit Onnus Wagner.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Honest, yeah, most Valuable Baseball card.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Hey, Ron, he's good.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Jeter can hit.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Jeter could hit. I don't know, man, I so I've
started with the optimistic stuff here because I'm old. I'm
not betting against when he's thirty one. That's normally when
guys get kicked out of short stop his sprint speed
(25:32):
like shot down last year. I know you're an MLB
the show guy, and we'll be streaming night. Oh yes,
get ready, yes, midnight stream. You're having a weird Thursday night.
Come through me. Joe's shelfy.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Little dad was like can I come? Or like come on?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Maybe, Hey, we got a couple of midnight streams coming.
Cal Ripken career ops, Iron Horse played every day. Yes,
played till he was old. Yes, so you know some
of those old years can bring you down. But career
ops is it seven eighty eight? Hm, Derek Jeter eight seventeen. Yes,
(26:25):
he's got some arguments for being one of the best
hitting shorts ups. Yes, of all time. Some people. Have
you seen the people that attack his defense?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
They've never watched the theater.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Barry Larkin some similar stats to Jeet's great baseball player. Yes,
great baseball player Ernie Banks.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Ah, I know, I know, I know a short stop
that people are underrating as well. How about our former
bench coach for the Yank you know who I'm talking about.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You have Don zimmer as one of your best shortstops
all the time, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
What they call them. There's a picture out there.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
If Mookie has a massive year at shortstop, yes, I'm
gonna I'm gonna come in with like literally skip Balo's
hot takes. Mookie would have an argument to be the
best shortstop of all time.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I mean, he's gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
There's no way, right.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
There's no way He's there's no way. But I wouldn't
be surprised that he would be really good at shortstop
for my like, he just has baseball instincts.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
For my sanity, I need him to be made or
less if he's good.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
His initials are MLB. It's destiny.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Do you like the Dodgers team?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I do. I do. What's not to like? They're I
feel like I'm taking.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Off this, you're messing with that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I was gonna screw it any more. I like the Dodgers.
Dodgers is going to be a force to be reckoned
with this year. And that's not even a hot take,
that's just say I mean, they've had an all time
off season I still wait for them.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I still think William Domas just ends up over there
last year of his contract. I don't know if the
Brewers are going to be in the mix. Well, even
if they are, they traded Hater when they were in
the mix a year ago, they traded Burns. I don't
know Domas, huh, Dominican guy.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I don't know why. I feel like Tampa or something.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
You might get a big contract, I.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Don't think from the Dodgers, but maybe he'll get traded
back to Tampa.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You're on that.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Do they need a short stop.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Kind of.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Reasons?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It's tough.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't like that. I don't like that anything on
Brian Bayo, you got extended.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Do you think he's going to become good good, like
you've seen enough of him?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yes, Yankees Red Sox young.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I think the Red Sox need him to become good good.
But from what he's had, like some really good flashes,
you know, I feel like he has like longer than
normal arms. I might be wrong on that. It looks
that way on his uniform. Did you he has like
normal arms and like really long fingers, kind of like Pedro.
(29:57):
Don't google him. I'm just thinking about like, you know
what I've seen when he faces.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Thirty ninth percentile extension.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
A lot of that is legwork.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So they the scouts say he has a long arm path.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That doesn't sound good. Then was this long armpire Is
that good or bad?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I think it's usually bad, but I think if he's good,
it can't help. So the two quotes I have Beao
has thrown strikes despite his long arm action.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And then the other scouting report said, dude, scouts are bizarre.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, they just start making up words.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Beo's long arm path allows hitters to get a good
read on it. Gasp ball, Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I think? Doesn't he have like higher than normal spin rate?
I don't know, but I know that he's he's got potential.
I think the Red Socks needs to hit on some
of these kids because there's a lot of mad people
over there.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
If I had to bet on Beyo being good, good
or mid, I would bet good good. He's shown some
of his or he is.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Like really young still for how much time he's done.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean good, good or mid. I think you're gonna
say good, good or bad. I don't think he's going
to be bad. He'll be better good good, He'll get
to good good, more of it, more of a chest
of him getting to good good. Well.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
That's why I said mid and not bad, because I
don't think he's gonna be bad. I think it would
be more. The goalpost would be is he going to
be really good good good? Or is he going to
be like I don't want to say E Rod. I
think Jimmy's throwing E Rod out there before just because
E Rod was like good but never a problem. But
(31:55):
I think I don't think. I don't like that comparison.
I don't like that Rod was like the perfect A
good left can be boring, Yeah, was kind of boring.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
He was boring.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He didn't have like a special pitch.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
What's his fastball? Top out at.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Bayo bayo, top out at What do you think he's
gonna put on some some muscle?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I don't know. I mean some people have natural like
just v Lo that just kind of just pops.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Out fastball sits ninety five.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Ninety five and he's young, young, young, good good.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We can't do young, young, good good. His fastball Villa
went down last year. Something to watch.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Sometimes people tell them, you know, change from force team
to two seam. Sometimes that brings down because you want
to get the little bit of run movement, some movement.
So maybe if that was it, you know, we'll watch him.
I'm glad you got some money. I like, I'm four
younger kids getting paid.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, I mean before that he got he got basically
the same contract as Hunter Green, which checks out a
little bit hunter Green with maybe a little bit more
ceiling if it clicks, but no for to lock up
a young picture and hopefully the Red Socks start coming
up with a little bit of a plant because I
(33:32):
don't know, man, it's over there. We're three Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Like I just signed this contract to It's like, right,
what's going on?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I mean, it's almost starting to feel like in a
movie when like there's two rivals or whatever that you know,
go at it and then the rival like sneaky helps
out the other rival because they need the rival. Well,
it's almost getting into that with the Socks, Like I
(34:05):
almost want to look at their minor leagues and be like,
oh shit, like it's common what's down there, Marcelo Mayor
it's supposed to be something they're playing. Saddan, the center
fielder this year. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Blaze, Jordan's still supposed to be good.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Kyle their first round, people like they love Kyle tale.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Ye had a couple of rookie cards.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Signed, some pitching. I don't know who's ay I think?
Are our last question brought to you by the Jam
Gaming Channel. Are we coming up on the championship?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Oh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes we have today?
What's today?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It is Monday, March eleventh.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Monday March the album, So we have spoiler.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay, is there a game tonight?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
There's a game tonight. There's a game every day this week.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh, we were leading up right into We timed it well,
so it leads up right into our live stream. How
about that? That'll be great?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Go check out jam Gaming Fun silly stuff. There more
coming up. Joe's we've been doing on Talking Baseball. We
do TPPS team profile and projections. Yes, break down the teams,
see what we like and see what we don't like.
We're starting to get into the big ones, you know,
top ten or so a lot of teams with World
(35:41):
Series dreams. I guess my question for you, is there
a mid team that you like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
A mid team that I.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Like like I can, I can reel off some examples,
like the Twins came in at twelfth. I think on
our our team profile and projection, I mean, they're they're
probably gonna win their division. So that's even a little
higher than yeah, Padres, Cubs, Brewers, Reds, Giants, Hardinals, Marlins
(36:18):
to any of those.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Marlins stick out to me. Cubs got like a sneaky,
like good offseason for them. I think, well, they brought
back Ballinger.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Sure, but that's bringing him back.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, But I didn't think that they did bad.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Cubs have something brewing, and I just don't know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You think it's Montgomery their team.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Their team is solid, and they have a lot of
top prospects who are like close.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Right, there's something to that. There's something to the Cubs.
I kind of like the Cubs. But Marlins are tough
just because of their division. But they made it regardless,
yeah last.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Year, right, So they're very easy to overlook, very.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Easy to overlook just because they're in Florida and people
just kind of like, you know, they're looking at just
the Braves, but that could kind of work for them.
So I like those teams. San Francisco for San Francisco
to jump on that list, they need to sign. They
would need to get me, like like a Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
If they signed Snell. They're actually like fun, yes, yes,
right now they're just a little too.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I kind of feel bad for the Giants, man, like
it's a their organization's great. It's just like a lot
of stuff around it is not and players don't want
to go there as a result. And I don't think
it's really fair to them. But you got a nice ballpark.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Kind of crazy because even like seven years ago, San
Francisco was like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
The place to go, kind of like cool.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, and now guys aren't about it. Big taxes and
stuff too.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Big taxes. There's a lot you gotta deal with.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
It's a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
So that's why a lot of guys are looking.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
I'm good, tough stadium to hit in. I think it's
like an intimidating stadium, right lot an outfield, big wall,
ball doesn't travel. You're at like the marine levels. You
touch the water.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
There's people on boats.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
People on boats are at the game. Who are those people?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, I don't know, but that seems kind of fun.
It's a different way to enjoy a game. I don't
know if they're watching most of the game, are they
They must be listening to it on the radio.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
It's gotta be their like therapy.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So my answer to that question, to your question, I
like the Marlins. Okay, I like the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I do like the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It just thinks that they never hit. They lost your guys,
so there.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
They did a lot of pop horizones there. Unless he
gets traded somewhere, had a franchise team.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
All right music. Thank you Jos McFly.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Watch out for Henry Davis. Love that kid.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Thank you guys for tuning in.
Hello, and welcome to Waken Jake, Myself, BBD and the
King of the North Joe's McFly with some breaking news
today in the baseball world that made me want to
specially tap into Uncle Joe's. But it'll be a jolly
jos oh week. We'll have jolly on Wednesday. Maybe we'll
tap in a zoo at some point. Joseph, how how
(00:24):
are you you look like you're you look you look sad?
You look downright? Sad?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh? Garret Cole's going for an MRI that the Yankees
say is precautionary. That can't mean anything, right.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
If you haven't heard Garrett Cole going for an MRI
and his elbow. Hey, everyone, I hope you had a
good weekend. Change the whole mood of the office today
with news that Aaron Judge was banged up and the
Yankees have some very Yankee quotes around that. I also
(01:01):
wanted to talk some of the other baseball news that
happened this weekend. Noelvie Marte got suspended. He's on the juice,
sauce or the steam.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Is it an injection or pill?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
BBD sounded like injection. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
That that's not good.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Stinks. You know. Unfortunately people are still trying to he
didn't get He could have just gotten his money right
just by being him. I don't think he needed to
do that.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And did you know the new short stuff for the Dodgers'
Mookie Bets.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He do it, he's probably gonna win a go glove
because he's Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
We'll talk about that in a little bit. Let's as
we already did, dive right in. You know, there's a
lot of you that appreciate the Yankees talk. Maybe some
of you don't, and maybe you'll fast forward, but we're
gonna get pretty Yankees with myself, Joe's and Biebs here.
I mm hmm. It's spring training facts March eleventh. I
(02:19):
come into injuries unless you know, in football or basketball,
you know when you see the achilles pop or whatever
it is that you you know, you know that's that's done.
You know, in baseball, I hate watching the videos, but
(02:43):
when the pitcher like has their arm like they throw
it in their arm stacks and you're like.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Okay, well they walk off like that, That's.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's when you know spring training in baseball. And this
is where Aaron Judge. The next updates are very important
for me because Aaron Judge took a swing. He grimaced.
There's cameras everywhere. I can spend the good and the bad.
We could look back at this in a week. Aaron
Judge has played the spring training game. Since then, a
(03:16):
couple hits, you're good. I mean sometimes a hitter will
get beat on a pitch and they'll WinCE a little bit. Yeah,
you know, should have hit that. A lot of the
other starters got more at bats. Trent Grisham wanted to
replace him. Yankees came out today and they said he's
got a little bit of the oh spring training boogie.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
They said, it's a mid spring.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's the mid spring beat up.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The mid spring beat up, beat up. The Yankees and
their colds are so weird.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I can deal with that, and I'm actually gonna spend
this in an optimistic way. The Yankee said he'll play Wednesday.
They said that they didn't have to. They could have
said he'll play this week, right.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
He specifically said Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
They said he's gonna play Wednesday. If Aaron Judges in
the lineup Wednesday, that whole conversation. I'm not gonna waste
my good breath on that. Unless you again, it's spring training.
It's Aaron Judge. Even if he wins his once pull
(04:39):
him out of the game, it's spring training. I don't
I don't need to. If he's not in the lineup Wednesday,
I'm gonna get a little nuts Like I can feel
it brewing. Let's put that to the side. You know,
the Yankees lineup looks a little better. The wind saying
(04:59):
would probably be obleak or have you seen some hip
text in the Talking Yanks chat. Let's see what that is.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We could table it for now. But I will be
upset at quotes come Wednesday. If he's not in the lineup.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I will be upset. And I don't get upset a lot.
On the other side, Garrett Cole went for an MRI
on his pitching elbow, right his right arm. Good call,
(05:36):
Trevor Plufe. Cut me, cut me deep inside. Because for
any of the spring training stuff I can give you,
that's kind of like, well, you know, he's Garrett Cole,
and you should be careful with Garrett Cole. He's another
three hundred million dollar guy. It's spring training, large investment.
Be careful with Garrett Cole Cole, wouldn't it be getting
(06:01):
an MRI if something's not up in there in a
significant way.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Something doesn't feel right enough to warrant getting an MRI
because players don't like getting MRIs.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They hate getting ris are bad news.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, and they just don't like being in that too.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
He's getting looked at by multiple doctors. That's normal, multiple opinions.
The Garrett Cole news is pretty tough.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Garrett Cole news is pretty tough. And you know then
the Martino till he came out, which is him talking
about like, oh, the Yankees are not overly concerned. This
is more precautionary, and you know the Yankees are just
trying to like just rule it out right. I am
legit worried. I think that's I think that's more Yankees
(07:04):
negotiation tactic. If they are still talking to Boris about
Snell now more than before. And I just I hope
he's okay. I hope he's okay, because you cannot lose
a cy Young Award winner, right, and even worse, you
(07:28):
cannot lose a cy Young Award winner and MVP. Yeah,
that's and expect to replace that. I mean, I understand
Next Man Up. You remember twenty nineteen, right, Next Man Up,
and that was a cool storyline. It's not if this happens,
is not next Man Up, it would be next year up.
(07:50):
Because it's like, so, how about how do you replace
those guys?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
So you're okay, that's I'm not gonna say obvious, but yes,
you just said Cy Young winner last year, Garrett Cole
MVP two years ago, Aaron Judge. If those two guys
are out, If Garrett Cole is out, let's say Judge
(08:16):
is good. Yeah, Wednesday lineup comes out? Okay, Aaron Judge,
center field bat second O. Sure, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I literally just I told you this as soon as
I came in outside that I just finished making and
editing a video talking about how because people kept saying, hey,
Joe's are you concerned with the Yankees starting pitching and
their eras the spring being so inflated and people getting rocked,
I'm like, you don't know what people are working on.
The only time we should be concerned is if they
(08:51):
have an injury. Guess what That video was never uploaded.
Another one was.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Though, what would that video say?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
There are tears?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Did you cry? No? No, okay, did you know, every
time you answer, you're saying no, but you're making it
more suspect. No, if Garrett Cole is not a part
of this Yankee season, can they win the World Series?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Technically yes, likely no, But the Texas Rangers do exist,
and the gram did get injured last year, right, and
Max Schurzer, who they traded for, was not part of
their postseason really, so they did win the World Series.
So it's possible, but you would need to, like other
(09:58):
things have to go right, like really right right for
that to happen. You gotta get to the playoffs, and
the ale Ease is not like some sort of cake
walk either. So let us just hope, That's all I
gotta say. Let us just hope.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
If Garrett Cole is out, you could.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Go from maybe making the playoffs to selling so that line,
which would stink. And I'm not talking about that. I
did not even bring that up.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You brought that up never, It was never brought up.
The whole mood at the office changed today, which is
still a funny thing. Come come Yankee Land.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Jimmy called out like everything like everything was like like different,
like GIMMI on a Monday after warehouse shows up here
at four am. Cole gets hurt.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I mean the news didn't come out.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I know, I know, so I think he knew. Do
you think.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You think Jimmy's on the inside? Now, what do you
think of Jimmy's sire?
Speaker 2 (11:07):
That would be big brain plays. And by the way,
if you don't know what the theory is, Jimmy says,
I connected the dots, okay. Boris said, Hey, why don't
you just go get a precautionary quote unquote MRI on
that healthy elbow of yours and I'll get you Blake
(11:28):
Snell on your team. I don't know how ethical that is,
but I mean he and then you know, maybe it
pushed his negotiations just a little bit more. I don't know.
I'm interested if that happens. That's like wonderful case scenario.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
If Garrett Cole is out for the season, Blake Snell
is a free agent. Yes, that means any team can
get Blake Snell.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, Yes, another picture out there as well that we
could talk about. You know who I'm thinking about?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, which one? You can say it in the counter
of three.
Speaker 5 (12:28):
No ways?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
One t J Montgommery.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I would I didn't even get a chance.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
You just said your own name. How about this, what
would be the number that Snell's contract would have to
come back at that you'd say, oh, that's it's okay.
(12:57):
The Yankees weren't involved in that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Oh if he gets like if you get something over two.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Hundred, I was gonna say two.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Okay, yeah, I think six two hundred is.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So no short term money can possibly scare you off.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Basically no, I actually too short kind of scares me off.
The Yankees one year deal. I don't like that. Okay,
two year deal, I even though I like three year
deal minimum three to five. Right, If you're doing that,
then you're getting good years from him, give him his
opt outs after the third year. That would it makes sense.
(13:37):
But I just don't like Yankees losing draft picks, losing
losing draft picks, losing you know, losing him and then
not getting a pick for him the next year. And
then it's like if for one year it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Make you can't do one year.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
You can't do one year, can't do one year? Not possible,
could could dumb it would be.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, it's just precautionary.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah, cautionary. Man, that sounded sad.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Has been a little sad.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Hey, a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Max mannis is very sad. He's crazy, said, yeah, John sad.
John coming up with theories is always the theory. Betweening
the theories, tweeting the theories means Jim's because we hear
a lot of theories. A lot of theories do not
get tweeted.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
When he's tweeting straight to the he.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Wants to like create co create that. Hmm mmmm, Now
that's a bad place.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Orioles fan. Kevin was walking around a little.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, it was a little I don't appreciate.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
That he wasn't being silly, which is his version of
being toxic.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Yeah, and that that.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Developing news in Yankee Land. All of us are very
scared because if you remember Joe's they traded for Wan
Soto and they technically only have him for one year.
He's having an awesome spring.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
He's having a great time.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
Josie struck out twice today means nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, looks good in pinstripes. Got a little bit of
a bounce to his steps.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh yeah, he looks so good.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
He's got that pinstripe bounce.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
But we need him with help.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We need him with help. God I mean, we'll see
what what information we have By Wednesday, we're supposed to
get a Yankee. We'll get a Yankees lineup in the morning.
Garrett Cole, do we know when we're gonna next update? No?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Right, as a recording this on Monday, they basically just
there was a there was a tweet that said no
update today.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
They said no update tomorrow either.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
They said maybe not tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
But I'm thinking, I'm thinking Wednesday might be like one
of those days. It's either a great day and who
we dodge bullet or okay, contingency plans.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because Cole's probably just a smart guy. It's like, let's precautionary,
get it looked at.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He's a smart guy, but he never wants to look
at his elbow.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
You guys see the Nester quotes.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
What's a n Ester quote?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
I'll pull it up because.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
I'd hate I'd hate to, you know, miss. He said,
it's tough to hear the news about Geric Cole's elbow injury.
He even called it alarming. But since Cole knows his
arm and body so well, Cortes is hoping Cole is
getting ahead of any potential injury.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
The thing is can relate because last year he went
through the same thing. His body was not recovering the
way that it normally should after a start, and that's
what Cole is concerned with, concerned enough to get an MRI.
It's happened multiple times. I'm sure it wasn't like a
(17:19):
one time thing. It's happened multiple times now, which is
why we haven't really seen them this like too much
this spring.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Who's worse to lose for the season, Judge or Cole?
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I mean, I'm picking between two kids. I love them both.
I think it's it would be Judge because we've seen
what would happen when we lose Judge for a season.
(17:58):
For the most part, we've seen what happ the new lost,
but for half a season.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
They've added one, so they added.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Right, but do help is still out there for somebody
to not quote unquote replace Garret Cole, But you know,
kind of softened that blow a little bit. Who's out
there for Judge And he's like the facto kind of
(18:25):
like he's the leader of the team, not the fact
that he's the actual leader of the team captain. He's
the captain of the team. You lose that.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
First year to be captain.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Huh, well no, not if not if he's in the
line on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Oh I meant last year.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Oh yes, yes, that's very true.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I forgot that's how was your first year as captain?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Oh, I'm gonna talk about that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Well, I was. I was being a rookie on the.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Eggs learning, rookie learning. He's having a great spring, great
better only three ninety or three eighty.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
Look at that.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I've seen it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
It's not Jeter.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
I mean, what are we doing? What? What the hell
was that about? What he just said that?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Speaking of Jeter, down close guy traded for him. Oh,
Mookie Bets, Yes, you open up this this program. You
said he's probably gonna win the Gold Glove. Do you
believe that?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yes? I think he can do anything. I legit feel
that Mookie Bets is one of those people that can
do anything. The guy knows how to bowl, the guy
knows how to golf, the guy knows You ever meet
those people that are just kind of like good at
every like really good at everything. Hey man, I never
picked up a hockey stick before and just hitting poet
like just it's like, how are you dotting that? Like that?
(19:58):
I never ice skated before, and like a figure skater,
that's mookie bats.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Anthony Volpi entered today, and I think he had a
hit in today's game too. But enter today, nine spring
training games, twenty three played appearances, three ninety one, four
sixty two five two, it's a nine eighty three ops.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Hit three or nine last year in spring.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
Great spring last year, Tyler Wade three twenty one's three
sixty seven four twenty nine, seven ninety five ops.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
He's right under Volpy for some reason.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Trying to make the padres I was.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Title Wade, jan Soto right above Volpy. He's one dot
eighting spring training. Okay, yeah, he's one dot eighting.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Mookie bats this spring, four to sixty four batting average
five forty five OBP.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm excited because in MLB The Show, he's going to
get that short stop label.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Now that's what excites here.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Short stops, second base, outfield. What that's sick?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
If he's right, This was part of we talked about
this a little bit on Talking Baseball. If he's a.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Kevin Looks has issues like throwing.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, what's up with that shorts shortstop stuff?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I know it's tough I'm just saying, like like, I
like him, I want him to be right.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Same with the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
They put a lot on him. Not on him, but.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Like Labor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
For sure, Mookie best plays shortstop.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
If Mookie Bets plays a good short sum, I think
he makes my all time baseball team.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Yeah. And did he play go glove caliber at second base? Actually,
I don't know. I don't know. I haven't looked at
defensive metrics, but I don't think he was bad.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I think he was good.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
He was good at second base.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
He only played so he had sixty two starts at
second base. The defensive numbers I see like him. He
still played. He started seventy seven games in right field
last year, where he you know, has six goal gloves.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He also had his second highest OPS in a season
last year. His first highest was his MVP season. Last year.
He hit three h seven, four eight and nine to
eighty seven ops, finished second in the MVP, and at
(22:46):
age thirty one, he's gonna play short stop.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Listen Ruth was the Red Sox biggest mistake. I think
the second one was Mookie.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Bats Socks could use a short stop. Sorry too low.
I did want the Yankees to sign. Yeah, so I'll
wear that one. Dude. If he plays shortstop, I'm almost
(23:16):
out in like the most complimentary way, right.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
That just opens up so many options for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
He would have an argument, Oh, if this was clickbait. Okay,
this is one of my favorite games to play.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Not exactly who to put it on this thumbnail.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Too, if if John Boy Media was clickbait. If Mookie
Bets plays a good defensive short stop for the majority
of the season one hundred twenty games, okay, you can
(24:03):
make an argument he's like an all time shortstop.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
All time shortstop.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Why because shortstops, besides your friend Rod Right who kind
of got kicked out of the shortstop club for moving
a third and the other stuff, shortstops don't.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Hit like this shortstop don't hit like him.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
No, shortstops don't hit like Mookie Bets. He has a
career ops nine hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
He's so good. Glad he's a Dodger.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Let's see couple shortstops who could hit Onnus Wagner.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Honest, yeah, most Valuable Baseball card.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Hey, Ron, he's good.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Jeter can hit.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Jeter could hit. I don't know, man, I so I've
started with the optimistic stuff here because I'm old. I'm
not betting against when he's thirty one. That's normally when
guys get kicked out of short stop his sprint speed
(25:32):
like shot down last year. I know you're an MLB
the show guy, and we'll be streaming night. Oh yes,
get ready, yes, midnight stream. You're having a weird Thursday night.
Come through me. Joe's shelfy.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Little dad was like can I come? Or like come on?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Maybe, Hey, we got a couple of midnight streams coming.
Cal Ripken career ops, Iron Horse played every day. Yes,
played till he was old. Yes, so you know some
of those old years can bring you down. But career
ops is it seven eighty eight? Hm, Derek Jeter eight seventeen. Yes,
(26:25):
he's got some arguments for being one of the best
hitting shorts ups. Yes, of all time. Some people. Have
you seen the people that attack his defense?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
They've never watched the theater.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Barry Larkin some similar stats to Jeet's great baseball player. Yes,
great baseball player Ernie Banks.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Ah, I know, I know, I know a short stop
that people are underrating as well. How about our former
bench coach for the Yank you know who I'm talking about.
You know exactly who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You have Don zimmer as one of your best shortstops
all the time, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
What they call them. There's a picture out there.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
If Mookie has a massive year at shortstop, yes, I'm
gonna I'm gonna come in with like literally skip Balo's
hot takes. Mookie would have an argument to be the
best shortstop of all time.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I mean, he's gotta do it.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
There's no way, right.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
There's no way He's there's no way. But I wouldn't
be surprised that he would be really good at shortstop
for my like, he just has baseball instincts.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
For my sanity, I need him to be made or
less if he's good.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
His initials are MLB. It's destiny.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Do you like the Dodgers team?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I do. I do. What's not to like? They're I
feel like I'm taking.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Off this, you're messing with that.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
I was gonna screw it any more. I like the Dodgers.
Dodgers is going to be a force to be reckoned
with this year. And that's not even a hot take,
that's just say I mean, they've had an all time
off season I still wait for them.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I still think William Domas just ends up over there
last year of his contract. I don't know if the
Brewers are going to be in the mix. Well, even
if they are, they traded Hater when they were in
the mix a year ago, they traded Burns. I don't
know Domas, huh, Dominican guy.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I don't know why. I feel like Tampa or something.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
You might get a big contract, I.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Don't think from the Dodgers, but maybe he'll get traded
back to Tampa.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You're on that.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Do they need a short stop.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Kind of.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Reasons?
Speaker 5 (29:14):
It's tough.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
I don't like that. I don't like that anything on
Brian Bayo, you got extended.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Do you think he's going to become good good, like
you've seen enough of him?
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yes, Yankees Red Sox young.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
I think the Red Sox need him to become good good.
But from what he's had, like some really good flashes,
you know, I feel like he has like longer than
normal arms. I might be wrong on that. It looks
that way on his uniform. Did you he has like
normal arms and like really long fingers, kind of like Pedro.
(29:57):
Don't google him. I'm just thinking about like, you know
what I've seen when he faces.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Thirty ninth percentile extension.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
A lot of that is legwork.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
So they the scouts say he has a long arm path.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That doesn't sound good. Then was this long armpire Is
that good or bad?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I think it's usually bad, but I think if he's good,
it can't help. So the two quotes I have Beao
has thrown strikes despite his long arm action.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Oh okay.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
And then the other scouting report said, dude, scouts are bizarre.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, they just start making up words.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Beo's long arm path allows hitters to get a good
read on it. Gasp ball, Yeah, what's that?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I think? Doesn't he have like higher than normal spin rate?
I don't know, but I know that he's he's got potential.
I think the Red Socks needs to hit on some
of these kids because there's a lot of mad people
over there.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
If I had to bet on Beyo being good, good
or mid, I would bet good good. He's shown some
of his or he is.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Like really young still for how much time he's done.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I mean good, good or mid. I think you're gonna
say good, good or bad. I don't think he's going
to be bad. He'll be better good good, He'll get
to good good, more of it, more of a chest
of him getting to good good. Well.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
That's why I said mid and not bad, because I
don't think he's gonna be bad. I think it would
be more. The goalpost would be is he going to
be really good good good? Or is he going to
be like I don't want to say E Rod. I
think Jimmy's throwing E Rod out there before just because
E Rod was like good but never a problem. But
(31:55):
I think I don't think. I don't like that comparison.
I don't like that Rod was like the perfect A
good left can be boring, Yeah, was kind of boring.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
He was boring.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
He didn't have like a special pitch.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
What's his fastball? Top out at.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Bayo bayo, top out at What do you think he's
gonna put on some some muscle?
Speaker 2 (32:19):
I don't know. I mean some people have natural like
just v Lo that just kind of just pops.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Out fastball sits ninety five.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Ninety five and he's young, young, young, good good.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We can't do young, young, good good. His fastball Villa
went down last year. Something to watch.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Sometimes people tell them, you know, change from force team
to two seam. Sometimes that brings down because you want
to get the little bit of run movement, some movement.
So maybe if that was it, you know, we'll watch him.
I'm glad you got some money. I like, I'm four
younger kids getting paid.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Yeah, I mean before that he got he got basically
the same contract as Hunter Green, which checks out a
little bit hunter Green with maybe a little bit more
ceiling if it clicks, but no for to lock up
a young picture and hopefully the Red Socks start coming
up with a little bit of a plant because I
(33:32):
don't know, man, it's over there. We're three Yankee fans.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Like I just signed this contract to It's like, right,
what's going on?
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I mean, it's almost starting to feel like in a
movie when like there's two rivals or whatever that you know,
go at it and then the rival like sneaky helps
out the other rival because they need the rival. Well,
it's almost getting into that with the Socks, Like I
(34:05):
almost want to look at their minor leagues and be like,
oh shit, like it's common what's down there, Marcelo Mayor
it's supposed to be something they're playing. Saddan, the center
fielder this year. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Blaze, Jordan's still supposed to be good.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Kyle their first round, people like they love Kyle tale.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Ye had a couple of rookie cards.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Signed, some pitching. I don't know who's ay I think?
Are our last question brought to you by the Jam
Gaming Channel. Are we coming up on the championship?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Oh? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes we have today?
What's today?
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It is Monday, March eleventh.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Monday March the album, So we have spoiler.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Okay, is there a game tonight?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
There's a game tonight. There's a game every day this week.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Oh, we were leading up right into We timed it well,
so it leads up right into our live stream. How
about that? That'll be great?
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Go check out jam Gaming Fun silly stuff. There more
coming up. Joe's we've been doing on Talking Baseball. We
do TPPS team profile and projections. Yes, break down the teams,
see what we like and see what we don't like.
We're starting to get into the big ones, you know,
top ten or so a lot of teams with World
(35:41):
Series dreams. I guess my question for you, is there
a mid team that you like.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
A mid team that I.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Like like I can, I can reel off some examples,
like the Twins came in at twelfth. I think on
our our team profile and projection, I mean, they're they're
probably gonna win their division. So that's even a little
higher than yeah, Padres, Cubs, Brewers, Reds, Giants, Hardinals, Marlins
(36:18):
to any of those.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Marlins stick out to me. Cubs got like a sneaky,
like good offseason for them. I think, well, they brought
back Ballinger.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Sure, but that's bringing him back.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, But I didn't think that they did bad.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Cubs have something brewing, and I just don't know what
it is.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You think it's Montgomery their team.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Their team is solid, and they have a lot of
top prospects who are like close.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Right, there's something to that. There's something to the Cubs.
I kind of like the Cubs. But Marlins are tough
just because of their division. But they made it regardless,
yeah last.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Year, right, So they're very easy to overlook, very.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Easy to overlook just because they're in Florida and people
just kind of like, you know, they're looking at just
the Braves, but that could kind of work for them.
So I like those teams. San Francisco for San Francisco
to jump on that list, they need to sign. They
would need to get me, like like a Blake Snell.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
If they signed Snell. They're actually like fun, yes, yes,
right now they're just a little too.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
I kind of feel bad for the Giants, man, like
it's a their organization's great. It's just like a lot
of stuff around it is not and players don't want
to go there as a result. And I don't think
it's really fair to them. But you got a nice ballpark.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Kind of crazy because even like seven years ago, San
Francisco was like.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
The place to go, kind of like cool.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, and now guys aren't about it. Big taxes and
stuff too.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Big taxes. There's a lot you gotta deal with.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
It's a lot.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
So that's why a lot of guys are looking.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
I'm good, tough stadium to hit in. I think it's
like an intimidating stadium, right lot an outfield, big wall,
ball doesn't travel. You're at like the marine levels. You
touch the water.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
There's people on boats.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
People on boats are at the game. Who are those people?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, I don't know, but that seems kind of fun.
It's a different way to enjoy a game. I don't
know if they're watching most of the game, are they
They must be listening to it on the radio.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
It's gotta be their like therapy.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
So my answer to that question, to your question, I
like the Marlins. Okay, I like the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
I do like the Marlins.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
It just thinks that they never hit. They lost your guys,
so there.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
They did a lot of pop horizones there. Unless he
gets traded somewhere, had a franchise team.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
All right music. Thank you Jos McFly.
Speaker 2 (39:35):
Watch out for Henry Davis. Love that kid.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Thank you guys for tuning in.
