 What's up? Welcome to the Talking Yanks pre game show. We've got game three of a four game set before the all-star break kicks off. Yankees have taken the first two. Both games went to extra innings. Both games ended with an eight to four final score. Jake, we've got Sabathia versus Snell on the mound today. Two regulars. This is Snell's fourth start versus the Yankees. Jake, how are you doing today? Doing well, James. You were on something that I'm now believing in, especially with the two extra innings, eight four final games with the three run homers. Going for the raised throats. Just cutting them out. Taking a knife out of your pocket. Have them pinned on the ground and cutting out their throats slowly and steadily. See, here's where we're still, we're coming closer to the same page. We did that in the Bronx. No, this is different, Jim. Two extra innings wins at home, brother. No, we killed them in the Bronx. Now we're burying the corpse deep, deep hole. Knife is in their throat and now we're just cutting out extra gizzards we find in their neck. They couldn't even beat us with Hale and Nestor Cortesco. I mean, they brought two to extras, Jim. We needed extras to beat them. Don't even talk to me about that. Since John Heyman blocked me, the raised Twitter account is now my least favorite account on all of Twitter. But it's not even a formidable adversary. No. Because it's so, it makes me upset because I like when baseball does good things and promotes the game. And what the raised Twitter account does is the most embarrassing, like I'm embarrassed that that's associated with the sport that I love. Right. It's the most embarrassing Twitter account I've ever seen. So, and I'm serious, like I want to like call up the raise and be like, you're, you're being embarrassing. Call them. I might call them. I'm not stopping you. All right, let's find the raised phone number. The raised number. Give me a line up while I find the Tampa Bay raise help phone number. Meanwhile, back on the farm, the Yankees. Well, as the game that'll be remembered as the Daniel Camerana game on the field starting batting lead off your second baseman, DJ LaMahieu. Aaron Judge moves to the DH spot. Stay off that turf. Aaron Hicks in center field. Pinch hit Hicks, they call him. Elgari, clean up, catching. Edwin Encanacionio first baseman. Brett Gardner in left. Glaber Torres, the short-stip. Gio Urschella at third base. And Mike, let's give him something to talk about in right field with the big man, Karsten Charles Sabathia. On the bump in the anti-boogie down Tampa. In Tampa. These line up, Mike Talkman has started three games in a row now, Jake. I mean, Mikey T versus lefties is a cheat code. I mean, if you know, the people were listening to that yesterday, no. But yeah, Yanks like to use their assets, which good luck for you, Daniel Camerana. You might get some MLB run today. Yeah. No, I don't know. Yeah, maybe. Well, Talkman has three RBIs in his five played appearances in these two games versus the race. Cheat code. He got snow last time with that big double. They did the bottom of the lineup. They didn't even know Romain stuff. And yeah, Mikey T versus lefties, dude. He was 300 as of yesterday as of today. He's hitting 318 verse lefties with a 400 on base percentage and an 855 OPS. That's nuts. That's crazy. Mikey T versus lefties paid. Mike Ford got sent down. I don't know if we mentioned that. And they brought up Camerana, whatever this guy's name is. His triple I numbers are bad, Jake. You see that? Yeah. He's, I mean, he's quite literally a warm body that if the Yanks need a few innings, they'll go to him if they need a long guy today. But yeah, it might be a, these might be his two major league games. No offense, DC. Speaking of bad numbers, have you seen what Blake Snell has been doing recently? His month of June was God awful. In the month of June, reigning Cy Young winner Blake Snell had a 9.64 ERA. In six starts, six earned runs. Then a good start versus Boston, one earned run. Then three, then six versus the Yankees, seven versus the Twins. He just had a, he just had a pretty good start versus the Rangers. But yeah. He's And that one Yankee start does skew it a lot because it was what? 0.2 outs, 0.1 outs and six earned runs. 0.1 So yeah, I mean there's, it was a bad month, but there, there's a strong skew from the Yanks. But here we are again, babe. But he's having a bad year in Jennifer. Yeah. In the area of a year. He's, he had two good starts versus the Yankees and he went against Tanaka. Today he goes against Sabathia, who the Yankees were trying to save the bullpen for last night because they know CeCe's going to need help. And they are running a two man bench because they know that we might need pitching help so much today. So be interesting. CeCe like Tanaka has really good numbers versus the Reys lately. Like, well, stupid good. He's faced the Reys four times this year already. No, this will be his fourth. He's faced the Reys three times this year, CeCe. Six innings pitched, one earned run. Six innings pitched, one earned run. Five innings pitched, two earned runs. Just give me that. Give me some of that and I'll be happy. Yeah. I'm, I'm fine with that. And yeah, it'd be, it would be really, I mean this obnoxious Yankees pregame show. Be really nice for CeCe to get one more good one going into the break. He's had back-to-back nice start. Six innings pitched, one earned run. Seven Ks. Six innings pitched, two earned runs. Nine Ks. I mean, he could get another, you know, six with less than two runs, even three. I mean, you could say that, you know, CeCe is back to where he wanted to be after he had, he had a rough stretch there. He had four starts in a row that were kind of like, but the big man's back at it. Yeah. And getting honored in Cleveland. Shout out to Greg Kutsa. Greg, how do you pronounce your last name? He threw a stem port our way. Some niceness from him. Thanks, Greg. Super chat. Super chat. Still don't know how that works, but it's very nice when people do it. Jake, are you looking at anything in this raised lineup? We got Heredia leaning off, FAMDHing, Diaz at third, Garcia and Wright, Bruso. That was the last name of my middle school girlfriend, Bruso. And second base, Keir Mayer, the hot dog, hot, diggity dog in center field. Willi Adamus at short. Travis Darno at catcher. And Brandon Lowe, Lowe at first. It's the other Lowe, Nate Lowe. He went yard yesterday. Yeah, Brandon got hurt. Brandon got hurt. Yeah. First career home run yesterday. Congrats. Congrats, yeah. Tanaka, pretty good too. Yeah, Tank did his thing. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you've got a righty stack early. The Bruso guy is having a really good series. He looks like a pesty player that's going to bother us for a few years. FAMD kind of let them down in a couple big spots yesterday. Yandie hasn't been the threat that we've seen, that we saw at the start of the season. I mean, they do have some big hit in righty. So if CC doesn't have his A stuff, guys like RC and Diaz are big threats. If CC's got the slider working and he can locate his fastball, I mean, he can work this lineup. He's done it before. I'll do it again. It's interesting that they can't hit CC. Neither can you, to be fair. Never tried to be fair. But do you think you could? We have to find out. So you think there's a chance you can't hit CC? I used to be a really good bunter. I talked to Amber. No, you can't. Yeah, I can't. I could bunt on CC, give it enough tries for base hit. OK. Pretty solid on that. You hear I'm going to face that, dude? You don't get yes networks. So did you not know what I was talking about with that commercial yesterday? The 41-year-olds that got drafted. I need more reference points. What are you saying? You would have had it by now. It's a commercial that airs in between every single commercial break for yes. I saw you talking about that. Yeah. This is a 41-year-old who wears a shirt that says hard work over talent or something like that. He's like, I got drafted when I was 41 years old. And I was like, did anyone look into this? Like, what is this? And then it turns out he got drafted by like an Israeli baseball team and never played for them. Yeah, they showed him in the stands one game or they showed him in the stands a few times at Yankees games. I mean, he's going to strike you out too. No, we're facing him when I'm 41. When you're 41? Yes, because I'm, yes. When I'm 41, we're facing each other and I'm going to bond on. How old's he going to be then? 68, I think. Okay, so. Someone said that they still are taking him. I'm going to get him. No, you're going to get the, well, I don't know. He's a hard-o and you're aging poorly. So we'll see. Stay tuned. I'm aging fantastically. To your whiskers. What are you looking out for, Jim? I mean, I want to watch talk him again, but really it's, it's like the approach for Snell. Last time I said we needed to rock Snell early to kind of like get him and Gary hit a home run in the first inning. And then he was out before you recorded the second out. We've seen Snell come and like blow everyone away the first nine and then we get to him the second time through. So I don't know. Like it's not just bad now. Are we a mental crutch for him? I think this, I think Yankee Stadium is. He's got really bad numbers at the stadium. This is, he's home. But what's the strategy going to be versus now like DJ and judge can set the tone really well, positively, real quickly here. So DJ and judge, if one or both of them get on, I think that's a really good tone being set for this game. Not to say that if they don't, it's, it's like damning. But if they do, I think it's damning for Snell. Yeah. I mean, he's, he's not the same pitcher as last year. Last year he led the league and hits allowed per nine. He allowed it 5.6 hits per nine, which is crazy. This year he's allowing 8.5 hits per nine. So yeah. I mean, he's not the side young version of himself last year. Maybe it's wearing tear. Maybe it was the league catching up. Maybe it's somewhere in the middle. Yeah. I don't, I don't know. I think it's the, I'll go early lead in the fact that if the Yanks do get an early lead, you know, we were having our, our knife and when the rays got murdered debate. I mean, if they, if the rays go down early today, you might see some sad body language and just everything by them. Cause this is not what they pictured going into the all star break. No, I mean, yeah, they're, they're really far back now, which is bad for them. And they're stupid social media account, which is definitely ran by a 40 to 50 year old woman. And I feel bad being so mean to her, but they got changed who runs that account. It's bad for baseball. We got connections in Tampa. Did you get the number? I have the, I have the number when we call them. Yeah. It's a, it's 1-888-326-7297. This is going to be like, I'm going to be on hold forever. This isn't going to work out.

Fire that lady. Wow. Jake, are we up to the Homer draft? Have we already done everything else? Does anyone have a good number? Who's got the best numbers versus now? Gary Sanchez. Oh, I think Gary does have really good numbers versus now. I think Voight did too. It sucks. Voight's hurt. And he's so clearly not hurt. Not hurt. He's in the dugout. Just being the most not hurt a player can be. Gary Sanchez. Five hits, four home runs versus Blake's now. That's pretty good. That's good. Brett Gardner. Five hits. Zero home runs. But 294 average, 333 on base percentage. DJ LeMay, you four for nine. Who else is homeward? Hicks is homeward and Stan's homeward. What are you? What is this secret message? What do you think I just sent you? I don't know. Jake just sent me a secret message. I'm going to copy and paste it and Google it. It sounds like one of those things where if I say it out loud, I say like, you know, a bad word. What is this? It's Blake snows agent. That's their human name. Sosnick Cobb. Is there the agent's name? Blake snows agent's name is Sosnick Cobb. Yeah. It's a weird name. I mean, I couldn't not tell you that. Who got in the Homer graph? Homer draft. Jake had judge yesterday. Got two home runs. That kind of blew for me because I got zero Sosnick Cobb. Dumb name. Both got the over under wrong. We'll get there. We'll get there. So I get to go first today. You get to go first. I took Aaron judge. He hit two home runs. I'm taking Gary Sanchez. It's a really good pick. It's a really strong pick. What do I want to go with? Does righty Hicks get one today? I appreciate you giving me the tip on Hicks yesterday. I blew that one. I am going to go deep. David John makes long gone today, Jim. Wow. Yeah. He does like hitting against the race. Maybe the first batter of the game. Just a little salt in the wound for Snell. He's all amped up. And DJ just goes, oops. There it is. And let's pair him with baby Glabie. Glabie is a good pick. Thank you. You think that the raise is the team DJ has the most home runs off of this season? Ever or this season? This season. I'm going to say no. I'm going to go. I'm going to guess yes, but it's only two. Let's see. We got Royals, raise, raise. He's got three versus the raise. Oh, shit. Toronto. He's got three versus Toronto as well. Boom. So it's tied for the most. Who did take deep on the raise? Casey Sadler. Yanni Cherinos. Guy. And Yanni Cherinos twice. Double Yanni. Double Yanni. Who's your final pick? My final pick in the homer draft. I cannot take Dee Dee. I cannot take Edwin. I cannot take DJ or Glaber. That leaves me with, do I go Gardner? Or, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. Tick. Taking judge. Wow. Power play day. Yeah. I had two yesterday. He's DHing today. So all he's got to do is hit. Just hit more homers. I haven't checked those stats, but I think every time that judge DHs, he hits a homerun, minimum one homerun. And you haven't checked those stats. I haven't checked those stats. It's just a thought. You just, it's a thought about thinking that. Yeah. So don't hold me to it. How about Roman yesterday? He looked bad. Behind the plate. He looked great with the bat. All right. We're going, oh, what's the old runner, Jake? Sabathia, who now has been bad. I'm going to guess they throw this at nine. Yanks score a thousand runs each game. I'll go eight and a half again. It was, it was right there yesterday. Um, oh, no, I don't want the UFC preview. Um, Rangers twins. No, we don't want that. No, we want the Yankees raise over under Yankees. I think he's raised over under eight and a half. Nice call. I'm going to go over again. I don't know. Yeah. I think the Yanks are just really good under. You just wanted it so that we'd have a different score afterwards. No. Nice. Smart move by you. All right. Let's go to the chat. We had another donation by Jesus Hernandez. Appreciate you. J H. How do you get so many views and your channel is blowing up and you only get a hundred people to watch the live stream? Well, this is a Yankees pregame show Yankees only. So it's a, they have a podcast that a lot of people listen to about the Yankees. And we started doing a pregame show this year. Um, and it's Yankees only. It's a for a specific game that I would guess 99% of the subscribers are not going to watch. Yeah. Why would they tune it? Um, all right. Talk about the brewers question mark. Okay. Yeah. Yelich really good. Mostakis isn't a big slump. He is. Um, I don't know. People like people like Woodruff. What else do you want about the brewers? The NL Central is going to be a shit show all year. I think Hader won another award for like reliever of the century. Yeah. Might not have been that. Not verbatim, but you like council as a manager. Sure. You like, are they still calling their pictures like not starters or relievers? Just we got a bunch of throwers. Tough to say. All right, Jake. Who has the third most hits on the brewers? And then we'll move on. Third most hits on the brewers. We're going to say Yelly. Lorenzo Cain's probably up there. Um, It's kind of a trick question. Mostakis and Lorenzo Cain are tied for second. I don't know how to handle that. Okay. So one of them would technically be third. So who's fourth on the brewers and hits is the new question. I didn't know that going in. So I was like, yeah, that's kind of blows now. Tough. Um, I don't know who you got. Braun. Nice. Got 76 hits. Classic. Classic. Yo, uh, Christian Yolk had 15 intentional walks. It's good. It's pretty cool. It's good. I like that. I wonder who leads the league. I'm not going to find out now. Trout is my guess. Trout's my guess. Do you guys watch Cobra Kai? Do you watch that? No. I don't know what that is. Uh, can you do breakdowns of classic MLB moments? Yeah. Saving those for the off season. 11 intentional walks for trout. So Yelly's, Yelly's got him beat. Damn. Damn. 41 year old blue hair. Am I the blue hair guy or is he? Do you think the Edwin Incarnacion trade was a good idea? I do. We gave away nothing for him. He currently leads the major leagues and home runs. He's been in a bit of a slide, uh, since he came over. He's got five home runs, uh, since coming over and he's, uh, last couple of days, he's had better at bats. So traded him, traded basically nothing for the guy with the most home runs in the MLB. Yeah. Or AL. AL. AL. So I think it's a good trade. Blake's now about to toast the Yankees boys. Oh, it hasn't happened. Boy. Wow. Jesus Hernandez with another one. He says Yankees versus Dodgers preview to the World Series. If storylines get written early, that's what you would say right now. They're both the hottest team like currently today. They're both the hottest teams and they're both doing really well and they're both kind of winning in ways where it's like, damn, this team just keeps finding ways to win, but we're not even close to the end of the season. I'm on, I'm on Dodgers. Yanks too. You are, huh? Yeah. They don't have to intentionally walk trout. Who is your two favorite teams? Who is your two favorite team, Jake? Okay. We usually start around the Yankees. Yankees number one. Do you ever land on a two? I usually say the Rockies because I live out here. No, I don't care. You got to give a two though. Um, because I don't think you're going to stop. Dodgers give me a lot of breakdown fodder. Okay. I think they were asking who are your two favorite teams like, like you and I, like, hey, you two are your favorite teams. Wow. Backpedal of the year. I don't have a second favorite team. I'm trying to think. Like I said, the White Sox are fun. White Sox were fun. NL Braves have been fun, but I don't like the Braves. No, the Mets, the Mets are hilarious. Mets are the most funny team in baseball. Like constantly give you a laugh. They blew another one last night, Jake. Oh yeah. You should break down the earthquake at the Dodger game. Yeah. I plan on that, but I feel like it's a weird one. So I got to look into it. Jake's second favorite team is the Twins. Huge Twins fan. Me? Yeah. Not the baseball team. You like Twins. They weird you out. They creep you out, but you like them a lot. Just a lot of different misinformation. You're a big Twins fan. Go Rocks. Go Rocks. All right. We're out. Go Yankees.
