What a day and It's a ring year for me. So that's good news for Yankee fans Married bong UConn one for the thumb first national this National title first for their thumb. It's it soured a little bit for you by how marriage Oh Both yes No, it's just bizarre cuz they're They were a dominant tournament team but like if UConn fans picked other Connecticut teams, you'd pick the other ones cuz like the stars were like awesome. It's like Kemba This team just came together and was like the perfect team. Everyone knew their role and they dominated So that was pretty cool. Like that was it's Hurley ball. That was the no sweat Championship, which was like the most boring tournament run ever like there will not be Like documentaries about that. It's just there was no drama or excitement like there's an argument They're the best team ever and I don't think they are and that's coming from a UConn fan But it was like really cool. It's like the most dominant run ever the least memorable most dominant team ever We're gonna film the doc. So yeah, I'm running running high off of that And yeah, like I said wedding you come Yankees and a credit takes lives in a pack of wax Let's do the sharp stats, I'm excited to hear from Katie sharp. How are you doing? I love Katie. I'm good I told you con fan I thought James to say I love you yesterday and it's like even though he doesn't know what it means Right, we're like awesome. It's pretty cool. And then I walked him inside Telling a dog he said Jonathan our ooze Let's do the show sharp stats Hey guys Queen of staff and shark that is back for another season and Let's get right to it for today. You guys just didn't talk enough about Johnny Brito in the series recap podcast So that's what I'm gonna do today. And first thing I want to know is just how Amazing his start was on on Saturday for just in terms of Yankee pitchers making their MLB Debut so before Brito no Yankee pitcher making its MLB debut had ever had as many strikeouts as he had that fixed allowed as few hits as he did to and Allowed zero runs in their MLB debut. So that was pretty special for him. And there's two things I really want to highlight about him first is the chase rate that he got on all of his pitches So he got a forty three point eight percent chase rate on his pitches that percentage of swings on pitches outside The zone and for context last year only two Yankee starters had a game last year They had a higher chase rate than that and that would be a one by Nestor and one by Jordan Montgomery But the thing that really shown if you really excelled it like This weekend was with his changeup, which was amazing So he got what he got swinging strike on 11 of the 28 changeup that he threw that's a thirty nine point three percent Swinging strike rate on the changeup now if you look at all of Major League Baseball last year only three pitchers had a game where they threw at least 25 changeup and Had a thirty nine percent swinging strike rate on the pitch those three pitchers They did it once each or Shane McClanahan Kyle Hendricks and Sandy Alcantara That's a pretty good list to be on there's a lot of good things that we like about Johnny Brito's Start this weekend, and it looks like when they need another fifth starter. He'll be coming back up again. Hopefully more good things to come Thanks guys Thank you to the queen of stats Katie sharp we didn't talk about Johnny Brito enough I did talk about him a slightly a little bit and that change up and how much I like it and how much I think his repertoire plays in the bullpen if he gets pushed out of the Starting rotation, but yeah I didn't realize and you kind of mentioned like the historic debut and you're like is it historic and you wanted to fight someone yeah over It but yeah most strikeouts fewest hits and zero runs in an MLB debut. That's pretty cool Yeah, and there's someone that Johnny Brito should be pissed off at just so mad at you Louise heel I Sorry dog you know it's not a fight. We're on the same page stop fighting with me. Don't apologize This was a celebration Johnny Brito want to fight me. He does because of the bullshit you pulled on him Louise Hill blew it for Johnny Brito cuz we we Kind of spoiled milk like that a kid came up and threw six innings shutout six Case but four hits and it was against Baltimore before Baltimore made the turn to becoming like a real program So it's a little unfair But yeah, that's why we watched Johnny Brito, and it was you know all right like yeah, this is good that changeup looks good We're getting swings and miss he's he's he's getting through it He looked good So the other person Johnny Brito should be mad at is himself because he was coming off a perfect game in spring training so Yankee fans Johnny Brito is coming off a perfect game to make the team and Then Louise Hill is in our memory banks is having like an incredible Rookie debut that yeah, Johnny Brito had a historic Yankees debut, but we were like Slightly numb to it. It's true, but it was really good It was really good and an exciting game of the series that it led to a good record day a happy record day Forty three point eight percent chase rate on all his pitches Now the context that Katie gave to us there is really nice and that's what she's so good at is that Last year only two Yankee starters had a higher chase had a higher chase rate in a game So obviously a cumulative the chase rates gonna go down, but I like comparing it to single games this was higher chase rate and I do think It's a product of Teams not knowing him like not only did they not know if he was gonna start or not Up until like a week before There's probably not great film on his stuff or data on his stuff because it's his big league debut and that change up if you're not Ready for it or able to sit on it like and the Yankees struggle when they face a pitcher for the first time as well It lends to that but that is Awesome and a change up or splitter basically, you know kind of pitches of similar ilk are the toughest to pick up You know a slider curveball You know a good one still gonna obviously get you but fastball changeup when those are mimicked properly They look right out of hand and even if you're going to the next level with it The matchup was good for Johnny Brito because traditionally the opposite side is gonna struggle against changeups more So if you're a righty pitcher and there's a lot of lefties Which is the Giants had a lot of lefties and I guess another tier past that because it was interleague play It's not like any of the Giants minor league guys had seen Johnny Yeah, like it's not like there was two guys in the lineup that got a start in triple-a against him No, cuz it was all Giants like PCL minor league guys So I wonder like did Tyra and him ever do like some spring at-bats against each other. They met each other I don't even know Johnny Brito's young, right? He's 25 Which I think Tyra's around the Tyra's 27 now Okay, February 22nd all this dirt, you know, I love people in that age range With birthdays in that age range, you know, yes Aquarius's chose The birthdays my ex-girlfriend stuff Oh Jimmy She's doing well. Yeah, two kids very happy got back in a golf Johnny Brito Yeah, and I am you're saying burrito there right burrito It is getting closer to burrito accidentally, but I burrito is right You've slipped once or twice and said burrito burrito burrito burrito. Yeah There has been a couple times where I've tried to say burrito and it's come down come down burrito That's gross everything you say That old sentence got gross He's leading he's leading the AL in wins win percentage era and game started so I mean wow All right, cool Thanks Katie, thank you very much I mean we can ask I'm definitely want to ask Booney as he joins us in the next segment about sending him down coming back up rolls situations what he thought and especially The come-down burrito stuff. I don't know if I'll ask him that that should never come up. All right deal deal Philip But it opened up the lane for Ian Hamilton Jim Slombia We just Realization that me and Davis had before we started this in Hamilton same age as Ron Maranaccio. Yeah has has young 30s angry energy vibes Like his whole like I made 30s. I've made it back. How old is he? I made it back. He's 27 That's a tough 27 It's an intense 27. Yeah, it's a very focused on The mound 27 now, yeah I'm I'm I wonder what the Yankees have truly in their plans for them because right now the back of the bullpen reminder Albert Albert Abreu Colton Brewer in Hamilton Jimmy Cordero all Yankees right now all Yankees right now Hammy does have an option. So that's good to note and he hates being called hammy, which is also a reminder to people but Yeah, the Yankees like us I don't know I guess I would just tell tell the people he's gonna be a part of this Yankee season because he has an option and the Yankees clearly like him did I Know the Yankees play roster games, but did you see me tweeting last night about what the Astros announcer said? So I was watching the Astros game and the answer Astros announcers say that Dusty Baker has been petitioning for them to have expanded rosters in April because the 26 This is what they said the 26 guys you leave camp with are the 26 guys you get to use for the first 10 games You can't send a pitcher debt you can't option a picture down picture down and replace it and I was like, yeah, he's have done that twice already and I think Yankees play the roster manipulation game, which means we've known it right more than anyone else and Like that's where the Yankees always break camp with the DFA candidate because you can only Bring a guy on to the team. That's not on the 40-man So that you like because if it's in the 40-man guy, you have to option him down like Weissert got optioned down So Weissert cannot come back up for 10 games, but I am injury, but Hamilton He was never optioned because he didn't make the 40-man and they always break camp with one of these guys Yeah, and then they always break him with a position player that they can DFA floreal Cosmo I Retired I don't think that was too low got hurt There's always stuff where like they make these moves But it was so wild to see other fan bases and people respond like no you can't we can't I'm like the Yankees do every Year, yeah, and it is a little trickery But also they set themselves up to be able to do this, but they are kind of playing with people's livelihoods I'm dead and they like funny business Hamilton himself. They had him asked him to push his minor league like opt-out day from Opening day to April 5th because they told him oh, you'll be up Yes the day they've got him back it's got him in on it it's increasing on the margins and this feels like the most a minute My new way to do it of of three days with Johnny Brito to then add Ian Hamilton, but You know hey Ian Hamilton through 36 pitches last night And when we look into the future of this year And we look at Mike King's appearances and clay Holmes and Wandi and hey if them doing that dance saved You know potentially two of those guys appearances sure sure why not hammy All of that stuff ham eight Andrew Benintendi. I am ham All right, let's kick it to Boone brought to you by Vizio. Tell him a little bit about him Vizio Televisions heard of them familiar you watch them almost every day. I'd say every day And Vizio is the best way to do it with their award-winning TVs and sound bars at insane prices hello We're talking big 4k screens for under 500 bucks remember when those first came out I love when they come out with a new TV, and they just charge it for like 5,000 bucks, and everyone's like no If you wait it out you get to the good spot, and you get to that good spot with Vizio Brightness that cuts through glare when you're watching day games, okay? It's important for the baseball fan in your life every from like 10 a.m.. To noon in my apartment near impossible To see so might have to get myself in the Vizio lab if that works And yet, they're sound bars to get in the game with Vizio. It's MVP of Value Vizio calm check out how you can elevate your AV experience all season long. That's Vizio calm You know there's a link in the description Booney good to have you I said the first time we chatted you know we're coming to claps or you know wild overreactions either Way, I think it's claps right now. I think it's pretty soundly claps four-in-one. I do have you guys winning Over 16 games in April I mapped it out I actually have you guys winning 19, but that was before some of the starter injuries So we'll see how it goes, but so far so good you got to feel happy turnout Yeah, look obviously a couple of key guys as we know down to start things not ideal when you lose a couple rotation pieces Out the gate and Harrison down and a couple key bullpen guys but as I've talked to you guys about you know It's it's opportunity for other people and it's a chance for you to really dive into some of your depth see what guys Maybe are gonna play a integral role moving forward You know who can play a role moving forward who is somebody that maybe kicks their way in and becomes a central figure moving forward That's what these early injuries create those opportunities for and You know so far obviously very early through these first few games. I feel like we've played pretty clean and You know overall I like where the guys are and and you know my biggest thing coming out of spring was like In talking to him. It's like hey, we're ready you guys are ready to go you guys are prepared and In a very small sample they played that way so far Boonie well, I'll do my fake attempt at being media real quick because we just want to check this off Judge he follows went off his foot last night. He pinched runs. He's good. He's in the lineup today We're just getting him off his feet Yeah, yeah, he's I'm actually be each of them tonight But yeah, that was that was just an eight to one chance to squeeze a half an inning off his feet in that spot here early I was actually going back and forth a little bit with Carlos My bench coach. I'm like wait a he's like yeah, I get him out I held off for a minute and once he got the hit. I'm like alright. Let's go. Let's run for him So yeah, he's fine. Okay Good good. That's good. Yeah Good job Jake being good media getting out of the way. I want to talk about burrito and kind of the The roster construction up and downs like since we talked Volpe got named the starter peraza starts in triple-a You know you guys bring in Franchi you've talked about all of those a lot of places but just I was watching the Astros game last night, and they said that dusty was complaining that they can't bring guys up and down in the first 10 days and I was like well the Yankees do that all time and it is a little bit of like I Don't know if it's cash or the crew like you guys are good at preparing for this situation the fact that you had You know Ian Hamilton not on the 40 man So you can bring him up whereas Weiser couldn't can't come up for 15 days or in less an injury same with You bring in Colton Brewer How much of this is? you know that is like playing with the rules and really thought out or how much has happened since because obviously Some of its thought out. We're like hey. Yeah Well, you know First of all you know fish and cash are really good at doing those things and and the front office has become very good at identifying you know guys that maybe have made some some pitch changes or swing changes or whatever it may be and Like identifying those kind of things and how real do we think they are so? It is a challenge because of the of the guys on the roster not being able to access them the first two weeks of the season in in Weissert's case You know if we had kept him and as one of the only optional relievers there early and with new option rules where you only Have five a year if you do it before the season it doesn't burn one of your one of your transactions there one of your times that you can do that and We knew we really liked Hamilton all spring like he showed us like okay this we feel like this guy can absolutely be a factor there's a couple other guys down there that are on non roster situations that we also feel like we know we're gonna get into a pinch or into a need or potentially like The 12th this month where we may be in a need where we may have to pop some Somebody that can give us a little bit of length So we knew we wanted to build in some of that Colton Brewer was the guy that kind of jumped up on our screen I would say two three weeks before spring training ended I know the front office was excited about some of the things they were seeing from a pitch profile and and that sort of thing so So at the start you're kind of trying to build yourself as much depth as you can, you know So to give yourself that rocks roster flexibility kind of keep your powder dry when an injury's happen inevitably, you know, you have real depth to fall back on and so You know adding a couple guys like that has been the case in the case of Colton and now Ian both their first First outings were not only strong but impactful, you know Like you're you're grinding over innings right now as you're building starters up. So it's like, you know last night for example You know, I don't want to have I don't love going four outs with Eliza or having to go to homes necessarily But it's like, you know, you use up so much pitching it in bulk that you you know Somebody's got to pick up the slack in certain games Hamilton was big for us last night But biggest thing right now is trying to obtain as much depth to protect yourself against some some Some injuries early on and you saw that with Johnny Brito move and sending him down knowing he's gonna come back up And I think you had said that he can still start on the 12th But as I understand it he he can't cuz it's 15 days unless an injury, you know, he he can't start unless there's an injury Okay, that yeah So he would not be eligible to make that start on the 12th unless there's an injury where we're able to replace him So is that then a spot start or how does that affect the decision? Could you I understand you still need and want bullpen arms and you're using them when they're coming up, but yeah So it kind of depends going into that Like so You know say the day before we we get a long outing from a starter and we're set up pretty good in the pen It may affect who you go get, you know, we need a new guy to cover us for an inning or two or more so we'll just that's kind of will be determined like literally the couple days before you'll start to have an idea and Kind of the night before you'll make the call on. Hey, how many innings do we need? What's the best way who's throwing the best down there who fits the role of best in this situation So that's just something we'll have to weigh when we get there But it would definitely you're thinking not in-house not like a bullpen day on the 12th Definitely probably someone not burrito that will come up and get the spot start Probably I would I would say it'll probably at least be a reliever that that's capable of giving us some length I'm giving us some some coverage But again, you could get you hopefully you're in such a clean situation that you do just turn it into a straight bullpen day But we'll have to see you you mentioned Hamilton briefly the Slombio Word of the day went when did you hear about that? Cuz I googled it last night and I saw an article from 2020 Did you hear about that in spring or what? When does when's the first time you heard Slombio? So it was a couple weeks ago. So in spring training, you know We're trying to name the pitch because it pops up on the board as a slider He throws it like a change-up. So it's a hit in his mind It's a change-up and it's got kind of characteristics of both but it kind of has and acts like a little bit of a slider So there we blended the two names there the way it started was David Grabner in our front office said Because we were trying to name it for pitch cop like what do we call this? Sliders change up. We're talking to Hamilton about it. What should we call it? And and David Grabner said Well, it's really weird and it's really good. I said, can we put that on the Like let's just call it really weird and really good. So for that we know that Yeah that weird pitch. So Then then we settled on Slombio, I think it I think you got a little peek of it last night It's it's a unique pitch. He holds it like a change-up He holds it and throws it like a change-up but that is weird because it looks like a gyro slider like Edwin Diaz throws a slider that just drops instead of sweeps or Has no hard. Yeah, so it has a little bit of that to it It is interesting as fans that like change-up isn't a word talking to players a lot and talking to ploof He was on talking baseball like they never say change if you say combio I like that word is one out the Spanish word for change-up is way more Prevalent in clubhouses and dugouts than change-up, right? Yeah, definitely. Combio is big Yeah, it's a good word. It's more fun to say. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like a dance Moon the the boys have been running a little bit this year. Obviously Volpe was gonna be a part of that Flavors got three seals. We know we got the new rules the the throw overs the bigger bags I also saw Glaber had a piggyback steal our guys Trying to hit After Volpe because if he's on the bases in front of them, you're kind of snagging a free bag yourself Yeah, that's a good point Hopefully we get some of those this year But no, no one's lobbying these get behind up to get a free bag. DJ is not as the crosses Rizzo Yeah, do you need us to have a little like public intervention on Rizzo and stealing? Yeah, do you wanna like I guess he's too veteran to get the red light like we understand He's a great baseball IQ. I think it's one of the best we've seen on the Yankees in a while, especially base running But last year I was calling like I think we got intervene like Riz. We don't need this Yes. Yeah, sometimes he you know, he goes into invisible mode, too They're not gonna think of him over there and just starts taking off so he was actually pretty upset with himself coming in and I actually Mindy and I again were like the pitch before talking about. Hey, it's time Do we pop one maybe and we're talking about it and he went I'm like, yeah, I wasn't the time Might have been the time the timing wasn't very good. So yeah, so We talked about a lot. He's he's You know, he's done a good job of that his career of getting those kind of sneak up bags But people are aware of him now, so you got to kind of make an adjustment back to him Yeah, he's a smart when the balls in play Yeah, grabbing that extra base like it that outweighs his speed one of the better combinations of that. I've seen in a while Yeah, his speeds not getting better either. Yeah, you know, we got that cranky back to it's like let's not just You say you're calling for a steal that I was like a little question I had hope he comes up He's a rookie a lot of baseball fans We grew up playing high school or even some college where the coach dictates everything. He's gonna tell you to steal not steal I know at the Major League level There's so much more feel the player has to have But with a rookie like is it just a green light for him? And do you have to tell him that or do you do you are you? Telling him to steal on certain pitches how much control and managing on the micro level goes into that decision-making It's it's it's a little bit everything, you know, sometimes it's matchup dependent score dependent You know, you're green for a number of pitches. I'll hold you back. I'll nudge you So it's a little bit of a little bit of everything When it comes to not just Anthony, but all of them that you know We have kind of in and out of green and red and holes and I definitely want you to go kind of thing You know, I think with in Anthony's case The one thing he's earned a lot from me already is his trust on the base pass. He's he's really really good He's a he's a special base runner Works really hard at it again. He's not a burner, you know, he runs well He's a plus runner, but he's not a burner by any means But he's such a dynamic base runner and and you can see just kind of changes the game when he's out there Yeah, those hops into the steel are pretty cool And I wonder I don't know how much those are pitch clock based where he's able to like bounce with like three two. Boom Yeah, kind of skips in Yeah, a lot of our guys are I've gotten better and better that Matt Tallarico who's our Runs our base running in player development and spends a lot of time with us too in the big leagues it's done a really nice job with a lot of guys teaching them the nuances of that and how to master that and How to make it work for you how to how to protect yourself, you know from getting yourself in trouble out there doing it so he's done a really good job with that and Anthony's like he's just special special on the basis I Boney I I want to turn it a little bit and again four and one the the boys the boys are humming But you know, there's not not everything's rainbows and butterfly Our guy Hicks he's been a hot topic and you understand why I mean He's a guy who he was a starter on this team for a while and now he's kind of fighting for playing time I guess You know, are there a lot of extra conversations that go on with you and Hicksy there or you know? Is it kind of all laid out like and you know? I think it's kind of if you if you play good, you're gonna be out there Yeah, I mean, we're not having conversations all the time, but it means, you know, I communicate ahead of time with guys You know whether they're in there or out of there what I'm thinking You know in Aaron's case playing last night playing tonight You know, it's kind of looking at the week ahead like these are matchups that I like them in So trying to put him in positions to where I think he can be the most successful But the reality is, you know, there are a lot of competition for for at bats and playing time right now And and he's in that mix You know, I thought he did a really nice job in spring training Especially the last two weeks heading into the regular season. I thought he was having really good at bats and he's just got to continue with that and the more and more he can get a foothold and Perform like we know he's capable of you know, that's gonna open up some more opportunities for him but the reality is we've got a deep roster a lot of guys that deserve to play frankly and we'll just Continue to try and make it work the best we can and I'm gonna try and get him in there You know first and foremost when I think you know He gives us the best opportunity to win and match up and hopefully he can get some You know get some rhythm going in the season Yeah, when you pencil in IKF at centerfield you got a you know way when Hicks takes that in and I don't I disagree with the decision and I don't think that I can't looks kind of fluid out there and Easy going in centerfield, but when you pencil that in like Hicks sees that he's like what hell's going on a little bit Yeah a little I mean Yeah, the only thing I don't love about is it was that that it was at the beginning of the season So those first three so the reality is I just didn't want to necessarily go with Aaron against, you know Like Cobb and stripling that are tougher matchups for him as a switch hitter because they're more reverse guys So I just I wanted to create the best possible matchup the first time he was gonna roll out there knowing that you know Guys are gonna can't wait to get on them, which you know isn't always fair So I'm trying to you know I want to get the guys in the best matchup as well as wanting to get IKF out We do believe he can you know do some things out there? We do like him at the plate against certain matchups and things like that. So just trying to you know, and The first series and this kind of picking up on this more now than than before is like You probably want to get everyone their debut in the first series, right? Is that is that on your mind like, you know, your Frenchie plays yesterday in game one of the second series But still it's like you probably want to make a guy wait seven days or so before he even gets to like start his season Is that on your mind at all at the beginning? Absolutely. I mean look because especially in the month of April like even with our everyday guys There's gonna be a day where you know As we build these guys up so you're trying to keep that in mind and you're kind of looking at the week ahead All right Who we who we up against who's pitching? Where does maybe this bench player match up the best and and also coupled with maybe getting a regular? You know a day and strategically doing that But yeah You want to you want to get four guys on the bench you want to get those guys all because they're gonna have to play a big role At some point and I feel like the more you can keep guys involved and part of things the better chance They have a chance to really contributing to to a winning club and a winning team Boonie wait We want to wrap up with with some lineup stuff and I you know We saw Glaber in the leadoff spot and and we've discussed leadoff a lot and you know when DJ's out there like you said You know, he's the leadoff guy I guess personally with Glaber does does he have a spot in the lineup that he's he wants lead up He wants five and and I guess the other thing that's kind of been on Yankee fans mind is you know? Glaber outside of August was had a really strong year last year Can can he slide up the lineup? Like I know you guys like Donaldson in that five hole could he can he jump Donaldson? Or do you guys kind of not view it that way? Yeah, I mean kind of hope not I hope everyone's just kind of rolling and they get into a nice little Rhythm of where they all are in the order flavors that guy that I will pop around some different places Look assuming help right? Yeah with everyone You know what? So there's gonna be a day a week that I have Donaldson down or DJ down or Rizzo down like Flavors that guy that I kind of slot and feel like I can throw in any any spot So I let him off when DJ was down Rizzo's off tonight so labor will hit third tonight, for example, so flavors that guy feel comfortable kind of moving anywhere in the order and he's he's kind of hit everywhere in the order and done it Well when you do that and this is kind of going back to like my micro like managing in the micro level questions when you move Glaber around first two games and this isn't a complaint. He's hitting really well, but he was swinging at everything I think he was just up there Swinging which is good. He's getting results Is there any conversation of like hey like see a couple let judge you see a couple or you think that's just innate or It's like don't change your approach Yeah, don't change your approach when he's got his best. He's got an aggressive mindset and I feel like One of the good things we've done here through the first few games Not only just flavor but as a team is we've done a good job early in the count of being aggressive There's a lot of times guys want to just get ahead of you in that but also Let the at-bat unfold too So that doesn't mean just we're going up there swinging and we're not changing anything from a control the strike zone but being really Aware of what we're looking for in certain situations where in the strike zone we want to attack and not Not being passive at all early in it at bat and flavors done a really good job of that of being really aggressive But he seemed very much under control and having good long at bats You know when he doesn't necessarily put one in play right away so three walks last night a couple hits obviously another homer, so he's He's stringing together a lot of really good at bats right now All right yeah, I think We'll let you out that so DJ's at first judge DH and Glaber three Stanton and right Yeah, look at you guys Donaldson fifth is Waldo Hicks. You can't do both back-to-back with the bullpen day. So Hicks IKF full Wow. So who's it? Okay. So is I kept in Saturdays in my home Hey evil piggy Volpe. Okay, and that's so Trevino catches called tomorrow on the day game Yeah, they got to split that anyway Wow Beautiful. Yeah, we just guess that line. Yeah, beautiful minds over here. Just like everything she gave us when we just untangled it Yeah All right with a smile Thanks appreciate it we got Trey Turner in the office today and he's told us to ask you to just take it easy But I totally disagree. I really want that first. I said Trey you want to sass Booney is it? He said can you just let us get a win and said no I said no, I don't want that. No, it was taking easy He's a problem. Yeah All right Vizio interview by Boone over Jake a little post game interview right now. That was fun I feel like we got some good insight into they're gonna bring up a reliever for an opener. Maybe don't hold them to it Yeah They're playing the game a little bit obviously and well if an injury happens that obvious happens that obviously changes the math You know, I wondered the name that went through my head who had an okay outing the other day was Davey Garcia I wonder if he gets on the map or like well I think starters have to be in cadence and that's why it's easier to a reliever who's getting things Right, but that's kind of what Davey Davey did the other day. He did like a 2.1 Is he in line though? I'm saying for that 12 So that's what we'd have to keep track of because that's you know Still eight days away from now, but or maybe a Matt Crook or some of the other depth names. We've talked about So that would that'll be Jimmy Norwood your guy Be careful, let's do the post game press conference. We brought to you by Shady Rays Shady Rays The bright moments of that This whole episode have been brought to you by Shady Rays and you got to cover your eyeballs Yeah to hear them what Wow Shady Rays world-class product That's just as good as in any expensive pair. You'll find I wear my Shady Rays every day They're at my desk right now. But if you've seen a picture of me wearing Sonny's recently, they've been Shady Rays and They're basically for life because they have their lost and broken replacement guarantee If you get a pair of Shady Rays and you lose them or break them They will send you a pair a brand new pair No cues aid if you know what I mean And exclusively for our listeners Shady Rays is giving out their best deal of the season go to Shady Rays comm use code Yanks 50% off two plus pairs of polarized sunglasses summers here Baseball games you're going I went I wore my Shady Rays So go to Shady Rays comm code Yanks 50% off two plus pairs of polarized Sonny's what else did you like there? I like learning about the The the how much they are on the steel don't steal and that they do it in batches of pitches So like I like that He said Volpe has a green light for like three pitches Hey if you feel real good about one in these next three you can go also like that he said me and Mendy were thinking about sending Rizzo, right? Yeah, so they were kind of on the same wavelength, but he was open to our intervention. So He definitely needs someone else to kind of say something. Yeah You know, I didn't think he just gave us lineup like that. That was kind of cool Well, it's it's so funny that that I mean this team is very They are a planning team. It's what we talked about with their early in the season routine It's what we talked about with their lineups that like they they probably knew the first You know four or five games of lineups Barring injuries and that's what we've seen. So yeah, I mean our most successful game of guests lineup ever Yes, thank God. He gave us some hints along the way. Yeah, the Rizzo city should our pre-show guess Rizzo sitting Would have really tripped us up And judge at DH that that was a good one, too So yeah, I'm trying to think What else do we cover there? The burrito getting sent down and you know and and kind of like the roster Manipulation depth protection that they do play And him saying who do you give credit to fish and cash? They say they're really good at that and like the Yankees are I don't even love it or hate it. They're good at it Yeah, they if you think it's not good if they mess with players emotions too much if it's too up and down They are good at maximizing Depth via the rules and I'm I'm There's an IL stamp and burrito comes up to make the start on the 12th Funny business. Yeah, as we know in the business, uh, I also liked That he views Glaber is kind of his versatile piece. Like yeah, we know that they do that But to hear him say that is one three tonight Six so that's and it likes him swinging aggressively, which it's the I'm not complaining about that But I was just that when you move them up to the leadoff spot, does it change? Glaber gonna Glaber, you know, yeah and just swing and hit baby They're all doing that. It's their thing. It's hilarious. It's their thing. It's the funny it like you said it's a combination of a baby move it's a toddler move a toddler move and it's also Like teammate and self praise at the same time like yeah labor is the best I think labor started it I think he's the best at it Where are those guys but Rizzo likes doing it a lot to like where the labor and Rizzo? Sneaky good connection with the I love you. So Lizzo new shirts, by the way Yeah, people keep us requesting judge and Rizzo Jizzo shirts, but I don't think we can do that I think people would be shocked to find out I put a I put a kibosh on that. Hey as did MLB Yeah, we're officially licensed MLB PA so go check out our shirts They're really cool these days and they're doing really well and also subscribe to the channel and we love you and enjoy the game and Thanks for tuning in Go Yanks Tom Grimes.
