Today is March 14th. The Yankees are dealing with a whole bunch of injuries and who is gonna play?
That's my biggest question. I've been asking people. Who's the Yankees? Let's talk about it
Hello and welcome to talking Yanks brought to you by seat geek if you use code
Jamboy preseason when you purchase tickets from SeatGeek for the first time you will receive
$20 off 15% off 15% off
Which could be more than $20
Yeah
Jamboy preseason is the code at SeatGeek and you get the app and they have all the bubbles and all that and they make
Yeah, those are happening Joe said he's going spring training. Yeah, okay said that for a while. Yeah, okay
My name is Jimmy. This is Jake and we got BBD here and we are back after a long week of a five-day
Filming week, so we didn't hop on the mics for any of these like impromptu besides Rodan
We did but Vader's kind of big like it's it's a second. It's a lot of other guys
It's a second biggest and the backup news on Rodan kind of calmed the waters there
So then this Bader injury might be the biggest to the makeup of the team. Ooh
James Davis
How's everyone doing? Yeah crazy week last week. He's still here it in my voice Blitz Bowl battle 3 get ready to watch it
Still got the goatee Yankee hat Timbo's because of the snow today got some look like New York looks today
I look like a guy that
Spills a drink on your girlfriend at stands and then he kind of talks ---- about you
Iman's a big talking yanks you mom and I feel like you kind of have like 2003 Mon vibes
Yeah, a little bit. Yeah a little bit shout out shout out. Let's go you said
so I'm doing all right, yeah, man, the
the Bader injury is tough and I mean
Pretty eye-opening when we I mean we did his PPP and the guy doesn't have a lot of full seasons of baseball and coming in
with that
It changes the Yankees formula a lot because we've been talking about left field now we're talking about centerfield
we've been talking about right field because now with the big fella and Stan and it's uh
Now it feels like the last I don't know
How many episodes of talking yanks that we've been talking about an outfield now like going back to the whole damn roster August
We have no idea
August the whole roster construction is
we're getting more and more injuries and
You would think these injuries which would be like wow good thing we have we can easily slide
But they're not they're highlighting what we don't have we have seven middle infielders
The logjam is still very active
But we've been talking about how when we were saying to go get a left fielder
We're like you need someone that can also back up centerfield. We currently don't have someone
that's a shoo-in for that role and
Here we are and who is it is Hicks gonna play center
Are they gonna throw judge back to center now if you don't know the Bader injury, it's oblique strain
But it's a bad oblique strain and obliques take a long time judge had an oblique strain took them two full months
I think you have to you have to think it's gonna take two months eight weeks
That's kind of like and we were talking to some MLB players
Trav and Moylan and other MLB guys that were on the warehouse and they're like eight weeks oblique bad oblique eight weeks. So
That's a bit pretty heavy injury. I'm in every day
centerfielder
Bader's out who is going to get reps there. You can slide judge, but do they want to do that?
so
And yeah, man with Bader, I'm you know, I'm with you
April April's out
You're looking at you know
They I mean you put June 1 on the calendar and you hope the under hits, but I don't know
The under can hit but you don't right, you know, you know, especially for a guy that has that injury history
That's that's kind of there's a you know
There's it's become an interesting conversation in the sports world that like this is not getting hurt a skill
And I don't know
I think you can kind of tell there's guys that run into it and guys that don't and there's flukes along the way
So that was nothing
For me
I'm buying all these Waldo stock. I can
I'm over it. I don't care if it's left field. I don't care if it's centerfield
The kid remember when he made the diving play, you know, we're at the warehouse last week and you're in and out of games
We're playing we're watching there's some games on in between and it is like
Oh as well
No
made a diving catch in center and you're like
Okay, and you kind of know what a diving catch in center looks like if you watch a little bit of baseball
So you put it on it was a great diving catch
I not not to be silly, you know
There's you cover ground and if you got to make the dive or the side or whatever it is
It was a ball tailing away from him at a tough Joker merchant ballpark gym
I know you've been there on st. Patrick's Day a couple talking yank spring trainings ago have
It was a really nice play like the ball players. We were with really what?
They they then asked us what's the deal with this dude? And we kind of said wish we knew I wish I knew more
But here's what I know. The kid can play defense everywhere
He switch hits and as these outfield positions are thinning. I know he can play the outfield and
Are they gonna give him the keys to centerfield that I don't know
What does what this is Waldo Cabrera next to Aaron Hicks next to Rafael Ortega look like I don't know
But I know with the options you're giving me. I need that kid to play
He's young. He's fun. He brings good energy. He's done nothing but
Provide something to the Yankees and I I don't think anybody knows where his bat is gonna land
Is it league average? Is it above league average? Is it below league?
I was gonna say cuz you were down on his bat at the end of last year
I just don't know what it is. You know, he had a tough playoffs. He had that hot two weeks leading into the playoffs
We don't know and you can say that with almost any young ballplayer, but I know he's gonna bring you defense
He's gonna bring intensity
and if we're looking at the roster, I mean I
Also think he's gonna be healthy and can play. I mean what what are the other options?
Here you're talking about
You know judge and center Hicks and left Stanton and right and that opens up your DH spot
But we know they're not gonna roll Stanton out there. They Boone's quote was what 40 50 60 games at best
40 50 comma 60 it would be there's not gonna be a steady. It's gonna be a rotation of something
it's just like who are the four guys that are part of that rotation and
one of Calhoun or Ortega is now in the mix to be
In that I believe and you'd have to lean Ortega Ortega
It's what we originally stumbled into right like Ortega can play center field or take and play left field
I love Willie Calhoun and that body type, baby, but you know, he's been playing left field with a kiss of DH and
It's a big left field and he's he's it doesn't great out great. He's about he's about our size
But with a lot of mass on it that I don't know how well that bodes for left field at the stadium that yeah
I mean care about spring lineups at all since the news Ortega got a start in center field
and then
Floreal got a start in center field. You just ride that out. So and then
Spencer Jones, that was a split squad
Dominguez got a start in center field. I mean, there's a name
He's a name a lot of people on here Ortega got another start and then Hicks got a start
Is Dominguez like a big prospect have an incredible spring? No, I don't know. Yeah
They're not gonna do that. I won't I don't even know if they should but they should if he's like has a great April
It should be like it. I should feel like it's on the table for this year, and I don't
Yeah, the other guy. I think it's on the table for like later this year
Tearing up triple-a. Yeah, I mean he he has a path and Bader gets like hopefully
Re-injured or something one of the storylines of this year is hopefully a youth movement, right?
Yeah, well pay is supposed to be on the way. Oh, hey, we'll see what they do a browser
We'll see what they do a comparer
And Dominguez. Yeah, I don't
Fangraphs right now has Calhoun over Ortega for whatever that offers you they're both lefties, which is nice both have zero service time
Both have two to three or options two to three years of service time
Neither are gonna be every day you run them out there
They also have us Waldo Cabrera as a starting right fielder
Judge and center and judge and center, so I don't totally agree with anger, but it's gonna be a complete mixture of stuff there
I don't think they want to put as Waldo Cabrera
In a position and like that's his position
Because he's still playing everywhere right now
Yeah, I mean even
You know when he plays third base, I kind of laugh because I think he's good at it
But like that's not gonna be on the table
You know
feels like the spot he'd be the least helpful keep that trick, but
He's played
Shortstop he started at shortstop started at second started at third
Those are his last three so the infield
Which we need outfield so
Yeah for me
It feels like there's an Ortega path because doesn't that feel kind of Yankees between him Hicks as Waldo
Judge Stanton you form a outfield rotation kind of easily that way and then the Yankees will
Take a breath of catch catch a breath of air and about three weeks, and they'll see what looks good. What looks bad
That's kind of been the Yankees early season
Formula I guess
depending what
How Willie Calhoun and Ortega view their chances?
It is interesting to note that
Floreal he's out of options and if the Yankees look at Floreal Ortega Calhoun and see same same same
He could try to cockroach it, but I don't know with the early lineups in spring training
It looked like they were bearing Floreal and now recently he's starting to move up in lineups and stuff stealing some bases this spring
So, I don't know. I don't know man. It's um
It's again this this roster the puzzle pieces have seemed slightly off
And I don't have we seen IKF hasn't played the outfield yet, even though he's been
Kind of ouching to play right?
He's at least been starting to do second and third again
So that's it. He's at least moving around now
No outfield yet. Yeah, they haven't
Yeah, they haven't put him at shortstop since they took him off at least it's from starting position
It's been the last six games
Paraza Cabrera Volpe Paraza Volpe Paraza
Yeah, I don't know man I'm trying to like think back to the the 40-man roster I have it up
40-man roster from last year
to see the makeup of the skill sets they had and
Then we replace guys. It's really similar to this year
so catchers
Last year Higgy and Trevi. That's gonna run that back first base Rizzo run that back
second base DJ
Glaber they're both here. This is just the way hope broke it down as article third base
Donaldson still
Here he's gonna break camp that way shortstop
IKF now it in all change that for Oswald Paraza, right? That's all
Roads seem to be leading that way. It's a lot more in play than it was
Seems to be trending that way over the last week. So I KF is
Paraza is what I calf was last year. We think
outfield
Aaron Hicks
Aaron judge and Carlos Stanton. Yes. Yes. Yes
Joey Gallo, that's Ortega or Calhoun is replacing Gallo just by the four outfielder thing
or flurry all the cockroaches
utility slash bench as Waldo Cabrera
So you have but no, sorry, I KF. Yeah, so this theory so then as Waldo Cabrera
Ortega and Calhoun aren't on and as Waldo Cabrera is
Gallo
Yeah, you'd like to hope you'd like to hope in whatever at bats are currently miss
I I guess that's what's changed for me because you asked about as Waldo
My biggest concern about as Waldo was them just not running him out there consistently
I think with the injuries that have taken place they have to like, you know, I
Again fan graphs roster resource. They take some of their own liberties right now. It has as Waldo Cabrera as a five-hole hitter
playing the outfield
so I don't know man, like I I just think that now with the Bader injury as
Waldo Cabrera is young healthy and can play every position and
I think that was a disadvantage for a little bit and I think there's there's just too much to overcome right now that
Guy has to be out there. I agree. I'm just trying to think of so who's not making the roster. So then
Set them
Yeah, I mean it's kind of weird the the Volpe part of it would would be a wild card
But right now he's not there. So yeah playing him. He's playing so well
I don't think they're gonna change their mind because every interview has been like
Spring spring results aren't gonna affect our decision-making
So, yeah, it would be you'd have a catcher on the bench in theory IKF or peraza on the bench
And then yeah, I mean we're still gonna have that DJ rotating DJ glaber Donaldson
Rizzo when his backs acting cranky, which it did the other day
And then yeah, it basically there's currently one
roster spot open on the Yankees lineup and
It's I don't think so, well, it would be Calhoun
Ortega or Floreal at least what it what it looks like as of now that doesn't match up with last year
Is there an extra spot?
Let's see
Got four bench you didn't account for Marwin
Erda was I did it's IKF this year
so
Four bench spots. Yeah, if I if I'm just just connecting it to what they did last year there
There's no spot for
Ortega or Calhoun
So they only had three bench guys. I don't they couldn't do that
Maybe the short and certain. Oh, it was because Kovac the lockout
So yeah, they started with just three bench guys and they had more relievers last year
And then remember they kept pushing that back like you're gonna lose this spot you know, and then they never did
So yeah, so there is one more
Last year, they had a three three person bench to start the year
So then yeah, Ortega Calhoun
Dominguez
Okay
It's not gonna be them Volpe's shouldn't be on it unless he's starting every day and a Volpe starting every day. Then what is Parraza?
What is Glaber? What is what is everybody? I mean got one two, three, four five
Six seven eight infielders then if Volpe is in the mix
eight
So, I don't know and I don't think it moves happening
So, I don't know how
Playing time is gonna be an absolute mess who's getting everyday reps
judge
Rizzo judge
It's about it
Like set it and forget it. This guy's playing at this position
The catchers both catchers, but they're gonna go back and two of them are trading doesn't really count
Yeah, cuz they wrote it. I mean on in an ideal world
Stanton
DHM is DHM. Yeah, and also Glaber's not gonna play every day
But when he is playing he's playing stands issue isn't a roster issue. It's a Stan issue
Parraza should get everyday
reps if you're starting him at shortstop
Starting shortstop, then you have so many moving parts around them feels like they're just waiting for more injuries
I
Went like the injuries that are happening aren't helping them. They're like we're right though. Oh ----. We need some infield injuries
Yeah, they're coming. They're coming. Yeah run them again. They start doing tougher workouts. Yeah, I
Don't Rizzo at the back thing. They're like no not that one. He said it forget it. Ah, yeah. Well this guy
Chaparro Andres Chaparro big thick he's gotten the most at bats or
most games
most played in the most spring games Andres Chaparro
Oswald Oh
Cabrera and Volpe are getting the most at bats
They both have 28 at bats this spring. So they're getting in there like that
It's our own watch one doubting in spring training and he was a quick riser last year rookie a and double a well
They were basically this cup of coffee. They're mostly double a last year
Willie Calhoun's hitting really well
For average
Ortega is hitting not for average but is
Slugging better. He's got double a triple and two homers. Sure. So he's got actually a higher OPS than Calhoun. I
I mean do we care about that?
It does anyone are we gonna have strong opinions of they go Ortega over Calhoun or Calhoun over Ortega?
I think just Ortega would be the
Defense first guy because Calhoun's defense grades out bad in the corner and Ortega can play centerfield
Ortega's played the last two like full seasons
He played 103 in 21 and he played 118 last year and he plays left field in centerfield. So I think
I think it's kind of clear to me who would be the guy
He's had a positive OPS plus the last two years like is his um, they spell reference projections are actually pretty solid two years combined
Yes
Yeah, combine the numbers. Um
And he like and those numbers are half cooked because he's horrible against lefty
So at least you'd have like a role for Rafael Ortega if there's a righty
Rafael Ortega can play centerfield or left field
And
Isn't Hicks better verse righties. I think Hicks has been last year was better against lefties
I don't know about for his career
H is having a rough spring. Does that matter?
He said he's bad at spring. He's bad at spring that our PPP on Hicks come out. Yeah
Yeah, and he was he had like a couple good games leading right up to it
I think the games between us recording and that releasing our call at least one
Homer in there
So is that was funny that was funny we should read something
Yeah, what if I told you we could read something new something gets you a little sharper talking about?
qualia mind you're saying Jake
What's that about? And you're talking to a guy Jim. It's on the record that I have a bad brain
That's out there. And if you're someone that deals with brain fog memory lapses sluggish thinking

There's a link in the description. I'll be and that's what you're gonna have to take to sort out this roster, man
I've never we've never gone into a season with so much confusion and
the plan
seems to be
spaghetti
Was that you just got all?
Like like you just taking a handful of spaghetti and throwing it down and hoping that some of the lines straight now
Yes, every lineup
third base rotation second base rotation shortstop probably rotation shouldn't be left field center field right field
rotation
Judges playing center right becomes rotating. Yeah, they didn't I guess that they didn't plan on right field being
Well, they never got a backup center field rotation
Ortega
But he's not gonna start every day in center field
No, but so when lefties pitch judge goes to center like I X and judge to left Hicks judge
Yeah, I'm gonna play Hicks in center of a judge. I don't think so. They didn't do that last year
Mabel, maybe not a left field judges on the table. It's possible. I don't know. We'll see I
lean though over Hicks's
Splits last year positional splits last year. What would you think they are?
130 games he didn't get to play a lot
Hundred
Left I mean 81 in Center 55 and left
When did he play that much Center start of the year?
Aaron Hicks game log, that's how you know, it's a good day
couple days with some swap and
Almost all of August now the worst month ever
Almost all of August. He started 64 games in center field
So how many did he play?
81 so he started 64 in
center field and
Started 46 in left field first numbers. Yeah, those are reverse numbers
and
zero anywhere else
so
Not expect Hicks and right field
Shit man, yeah. No, they want it to
Sort itself out naturally, which is scary
Because you're kind of playing the injury
And you just don't know who or when
Judge started 74 games in center field
So he started 10 more than than Hicks
And that was pretty steady
For a while. There's a stretch here in what's the seven and eight early August?
where judge went to right field and
Who's in center field then for the stretch? Oh, you know what it was. I guess they they traded for Benny
So Benny and left Hicks and center judging, right?
Yeah
Yeah, Hicks look Castro got a start
Yep, when they got Benny Hicks went to center judge went to right for a little bit
But then Benny got hurt and judge went right back to center field and Hicks wasn't around
He's got put in timeout
Good what is this team?
It's funky man. I'm not like incredibly down on
skill, right but for a while now been asking for consistency and positions and line up and
And we're almost so far away from that unless
They're laughing at us. They're like, how do you not see what we're gonna do?
Right, and I'm all I'm all wait and see because I'm excited to find out
again, there's that glut at the middle infield that a
Cashman surprise us and make us run to the mics. That would be fun
Feels like Volpe's earned it my goodness
And the other thing that you have to circle back is the Yankees did win 99 games last year and they viewed that part as a
success
But yeah for me you've
Harped on it multiple times the lineup makes me nervous because right now
Right now they list the five six seven eight nine as as Waldo
Donaldson Hicks Trevi and Praza, which
Of those five if they actually played I'd bet on Praza and he's the one I think that of that crew they'll play the least
So that's where that's where you have to do a little bit of mental gymnastics to get through this lineup and roster right now
I think they'll play Peraza
I've seen you I've seen you ride the wave on that because there's there's a chance
He's the guy that they're like the rudest to this year. They need to be then. Well, yeah
There's a chance that Peraza is the next stopgap and like, okay, so
You never cuz you would hand it to him right now, right? We're two weeks away
You would you would publicly say he's our starting shortstop if you want him to have
Confidence and you would then let him run it out there and play shortstop every day how smart clubs operate
I guess would that be I'm
Trying to think of the outs on that. Would it be?
Would you if Peraza gets hurt tomorrow?
Like do you think that could actually open the door for Volpe?
And maybe that's why they're not pressing the button either way on there, but peraza knows if he gets hurt
Right, it's not playing. That's not gonna
Takes away. Yeah, I guess the only thing would be if Volpe comes up and is good, which he will be then
You've created a wally pit thing because then they're like, well, you said peraza's a starter
I hope it was good and the Yankees just they hate all of that for some reason
I don't know. So then trade perot. I don't know
Wouldn't trade or injury does feel like you would just unlock
whatever
Tough spring training
Didn't we what year did we pitch a perfect game in spring that nobody got hurt? Was that last year?
two years ago
We were like a shot here
I think last year, right?
peraza or IKF is giving
Oswald peraza and Anthony Volpe some some love
He said I think the two guys that are ready for the big leagues
I think the two guys that are ready for the big leagues pushing to the big leagues are both shortstops
So if something were to happen to anybody else on the team injury wise or something
It wouldn't be them moving talking about like going to play the outfield
I feel like I've shown versatility in my career so far and it'd be a lot easier
Move for me to do it to help the team. So he's prepped to play the outfield other positions
Because he knows those kids aren't gonna go play other positions. Hey, man another IKF quote
that's like 10 out of 10 and if he wasn't kind of force fed to us as
The starting shortstop last year when he really didn't have to be
We would view this guy through a different lens. So I mean another good quote by him
I we've I don't want to say we've turned a full page on IKF, but we've
We've ended up laughing at us and and Joe's and any of the other Yankees that you know
It's become an inside joke in the office when he talked about
He asked the Yankees analytics team for help defensively because he wasn't feeling good and they were like, no, you're all right
It's like what a hell no, and then he comes out here and he's like, hey, I'll move around help the team
it looks like these kids are ready to play and
Yankees like
Don't reel that in Isaiah we'll deal with that
The guy off the field hustle has been everything you've wanted
he said
He said I'm full go at shortstop just in case something could still happen to someone else
But I understand the situation and that those players for us and Volpe are really good and they can help our team
Then he later says
If I don't win the shortstop job, I still want to be here. So
He's still in the competition. But he also knows those guys are
Once in sounds like he knows it's out and I was like, oh, it looks like he sounds like it's out
And then now he's saying but if I still win it
They asked him about the possibility that he gets trade
He said it's kind of humbling that other teams would even be looking at me
in our situation
Situation
He's happy to show off his versatility the next couple days because I need a role on the team if I'm not playing shortstop
Damn, man. I mean if that's what's happening, then
That's six million is crazy
for a job that has cost
500 grand
forever
Let's see. How many?
one two three
five six seven
What are you counting?
15 spring training games left. Yeah
So, you know, we talked about the outfield situation and they've referenced IKF playing the outfield. He hasn't yet
It'd be two weeks to
Practice that in a game setting which is what spring training is for
Yeah, man, we're we're in the final go here
the last week is usually like
The starters want to play the guys. Yeah. Yeah, so we will have more insight then
Yeah, basically one more week of like funk. Yes
Volpe's been playing a lot and playing incredibly. Well, there's a little bit in those IKF quotes that
you know alluding to that
Volpe
I could be on the team
But again, that doesn't like help you also a judge say it as a captain that it helps you play judge said a wild quote
salacious
Salacious spell it s a l I
See I owe you s
Yes
That's a L a CIO us. That's not what I said, but it was close. I got an I have a T
No, I never T as an I and seven they just I'd instead of the second day. Yeah, I'm so close
Oh, right. No, that's up. I just don't know without looking I spelled salacious. Excuse me. There's southern
salacious
That's how I spelled it instead of salacious
But yeah judge just kind of like talking at a turn yeah
saying dumb crazy stuff like I
Don't know. I just think the best player should start. Come on judge. It's where I don't agree with him
I mean front office just like oh
So you're a captain now you think you can just say ---- and there's no repercussions. The best guy should start
What Hal has to pet his fish for hours just to get over there?
And you should get your athletic greens all great athletes have one thing in common. What is it Jim?

Why wouldn't you why don't you look into this?
Do you want to talk about like the bull pen?
So we use that
That's very interesting if you're you know
Having been watching spring or paying attention and then you're one of those people that you're tuning into this episode
by really
Opening day sneak attacks you sometimes you like who?
the bullpen is
Sneaky attack
Weiser crook both on right now according to this. I don't think so because
They don't have the web dog on here, right?
Show a little respect
Crook and Weiser to have options the web dog. He is no option. He's every option. He's the option
yeah, man, we uh
Was chopping it up with babes because we're on our we're on our final PPPs to get done
Mm-hmm, and it's getting a little messy
Weiss dog a bray you are
Are getting close to locks on the roster and then you get into this Matt crook Jimmy Cordero
I
Mean, you know Davey stands raise up
Who's the other guy that really jumped out web dog? I mean Snelton season. We've been on that since day one
No stone got sent down. So he's not getting in that
Yeah, man. I do you think that's what it is?
Who do you think it is, I
Think if opening day was tomorrow and we were looking at the Yankees bullpen a braves on no options and they love
I
Guess I would lean I would lean like Weiser didn't web dog. I'm sorry to Matt crook stands aka fail
dude
Just because it's the web dog, you know if they need and
And to be half rude to the web dog, you know if they need someone to fall on the sword and eat three innings
I think they'd rather do that to web dog than a young pitcher just getting thrown into the mix
What about Jimmy Norwood?
What about Jimmy?
He's getting if he's still up at big league camp. He's getting a lot of you got some run sore lever signed him
Do you think he goes by James?
probably
He's from like Yankee Stadium, is it an early settlers name James Norwood?
I don't know woods. I don't know where Norwood comes from. I think it is British
I think there's there's a soccer player named James Norwood
There's been I don't know what what level and what success but yeah, I think there's a famous one
James Norwood is a good soccer name
I don't know. He just has a good era and he's pitched a lot this spring, but if they could have sent him down
He's could be old. It's hard to do game lives for spring. Why sir is
He's got some innings in spring five games
In Alberta Bray who's still around? I think he's gonna be on the team now because he has
Yeah, I would I
Would say Davey not a starter anymore three games zero starts this spring. I mean if you're gonna
If he's a starter, he's starting spring games, I think he's been following
Second guy out a bunch
I
would say the Yankees would have
Braille no options
Weiser they half believe in Weiser and then they would have their this year's reclamation project this year's Licky
this year's
so that would be
That would either be Norwood or it would be
Jimmy Cordero
There's both of those guys at the Jimmy's both of those guys have played Major League Baseball
and I'm sure if the Yankees have them in camp, they think they can squeeze some juice out of them and
Reminder whoever this is these guys are that break camp. They're not gonna get stashed
That's not how the Yankees operate. This guy's here and you might not be here
Next week, I'll get the most run

Tanner Tully opened Davey Garcia came in as the piggyback and
Then Jimmy Norwood came in one name clean no hits the walks
That was against the twins Yankees shut him out
Davey nope. Nope. Davey went three point one two hits two walks one earned run
So that's not that good and that was a little bit ago
Under the date doesn't have it on here then spring training
Stats websites because you shouldn't really be looking at these. No. No, it's uh, we are full-blown in the hell cycle of spring training
Cordero you had a bad outing recently
Maranatio was tossing the pill. I saw the social media team
Loving that
Hermann started I mean look so look this was like, okay
Hermann's got the start and in this game. You saw Wandi Peralta clay Holmes Mike King and
Then crook came in and had a bad two point two five hits
Yeah
In this game Weber got the start didn't do well
What's that mean two point two innings pitched?
Five hits two walks of seven base runners in two point two three earn runs. That's what they wanted at him
It was you know
a web dog treat this like we're down seven and we just need you to
get the last
Get the last eight outs
All right, cool eight outs. You don't care what happens in between has Clayton beater gun any spring run
Didn't he get dropped some down?
Like sent him. I don't have a minor camp
He's like a Yankee top-fifteen prospect
Clean James Norwood
getting run

To Johnny Brito as the follower and then Jimmy Norwood again one inning pitch zero hits zero walks two K's
It's James
My name is James to
You go by Jimmy sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, you might too
I've got one bad thing about

What is it Everson? I?
Don't know
You don't know what his name is
It's a combination of oh, I've never seen before
So Norwood looks like it might be Dutch or some ----

Two weeks before the season least I've known or
Maybe most I've known but least I've wanted to know, you know, it sounds like we're also not so sure about the bullpen
We're sure about the top end of the bullpen. Yes, right like, you know, you're gonna have Holmes King
Wandi Maranatio
Is there anyone else I'm missing up there Louisa? Yeah. Yeah. I mean that's still five guys
Yeah, you're you're about and I think we're positive on the five starters now to and the other thing
