 Cuz I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I Don't belong here By not welcome to the talking Yanks pregame show. My name is John boy. I'm co-hosted by another John boy John boy one Wow I'm John boy one your John boy two. It got confusing in the middle there. I'll be honest Yeah, I don't know if you ever had the rhythm of the song correct. No, I did not I did not I really thought that was gonna be a lot easier Tough a cappella, I'm a creep How are you doing today? I'm all right. I I smelled pretty bad I need a shower need a pregame shower. I used to like a good pregame shower before playing sports You ever do that? Yeah. I was a huge shower before the game and after the game because they that was like a mindset Yeah, refresh you maybe that's what the Yanks need and that's a team shower I'm not saying no Worked for the dorm bowls Rated by judge and stand right now. Yeah, those guys are good. We could use them, huh? But yeah, I don't know it's tough times in Yankees land We've kind of we've lost these last two obviously technically we've lost three in a row, right? and I think it's this weird tipping point where it's like, all right Do we fight salvage this series or if we don't this series is just like a total dud And now we're like begging for judge and stand to come back Yeah, but they're not even well dude. I thought about this today. What if judge when judge comes back? It which is like next homestand they start winning again You could put so much stock into and the analytic people will love this You can put so much stock into like when judge wasn't with the team They lost and when judges with the team they win Yeah, it's I've definitely seen that theory floating around Yeah, I think people are you know, I the other thing Jim our pitching's been bad No, that's the main issue. Yeah, and I I think it's funny that we're you want to dig for some stuff and obviously they're still injuries and You know judge was with the team and then he leaves and they you know, they have looked at lesser of a team The pitching's been bad It was the dirty secret during when we were hot and we're like wow, how are we winning games with Tyler Wade and Cameron may been in the lineup and is while our pitching was really good um And uh now the starting pitching is kind of fell on its face a little bit But Jim if you're starting pitching is doing bad just don't use a starting pitcher Wow go with the opener bullpen day Yeah, I'm going to sit indian style on my desk chair for about two seconds until I realize my body can't do this anymore Yeah, I'm out. Yeah, that was that was a dumb decision by me. Good try It was a good try Chad green is the opener today and the lineup behind him is dj. Lemay. He was playing third base Luke Voight hit a homerun yesterday and that's all the Yankees did is playing first base Aaron Hicks is in the center field gary sanchez is catching dd gregorius. Is that short? Labor tours is that second base clint frazier's dh and Cameron maybins in right field brett gardener is in left field I like this lineup or shella's out had a rough game yesterday A rough game yesterday and gardener and maybin is in. It's pretty good uh This is it's it's bullpenning You need a lot of guys to be on which is tough. You have a good starting pitcher You need like three guys to be on maybe uh with a bullpen We're gonna need like five guys to be on and we're gonna need nester to be really on because he's gonna get a lot of innings here Nester cortez our guy man. Um, yeah, let's we've got some positive spins here jim Chad green Since may 22nd 9.1 innings 193 dra 13 strikeouts in the 9.1 innings. So that's good. He has given up more hits than innings pitch She's only given up one walk. So it's it's not that bad as his whip is still pretty good And it did feel like a couple of those games had some bloopy and dinky hits to them When we're hoping to get chad, right? So I don't know chad chad has been Fairly solid since he's gotten the call back up um So hopefully he can you know do that opener voodoo that we the reason why we hate facing openers When we do let's that's what we're doing other teams and we're what four and oh and opener games Four and oh and opener games but The last opener game kanley and auto blew it then we had to win it later on Another one chad basically let up gave up two runs in the first inning So like we have found a way to win opener games. It's not always Formula that happens The offense needs to hit and the bullpen needs to like limit them to four runs Because I think if you you're always you're asking too much Yeah, I I don't know. I mean this is uh Dude talk about a big spot for nester cortez if if if he could put together a big performance today that would be That would be a few consecutive performances from him that are pretty good um, and we're talking about how much we need pitching um I don't know man. You're you're right. It's tough. I I think normally It's it's just it's the opener and that's why normally we come into this game And you're like, yeah, you know if if happer or cc could give us five or six And you know, then we can we've got the rested arms in the pin or we don't today's just like Roll it out there and see what we got Uh, which is scary, but um, it has worked for us and it can work for us today Um as long as we hit two because let's let's be honest. We we scored what two yesterday um And then the game the game before that was kind of the classic old yankees We had the one big inning and then the offense kind of shut down. So um Last year's yankees, I should say so the you know, the pitching's been bad offense hasn't been special You know, it's not like we're sitting here. Damn like we lost this game ten eight. It's like no, we lost ten two One the last run was bullshit. Anyway, so yeah, so um, yeah, we uh Every facet of the game james Has has been down and I think that's why The yankees conversation world has been so ugly because you could point at pitching Defense gorgeous, whatever player you straight up don't like yeah The white socks have lory garcy. Actually, I didn't do this Did you? No, we don't I don't have the lineup. Don't care the white socks are playing good ball hitting a ton of home runs Uh, eloy him and as I said in game one of the white sock series. He was my what to watch for and uh, he's been fucking annoying, so Still watching out for him. It's been good. Tim anderson's good too Say that again. Tim anderson's pretty good too Yeah, man, and it's uh, I I said it before yesterday's game and not not a pattern myself on the back way But man, they're righties are mean um I mean anderson and eloy those those are the two big bombs that essentially ended both games It sucks that the eloy one ended it in the first inning um But uh, yeah, man, and that's uh, I I don't want to raise fear about nester because another lefty but uh, yeah, I mean they they have some really good right-handed bats and um I don't know this is also like our second straight road trip that's been kind of sloppy. So Uh, I don't know. We're expecting some rain in the forecast jane. Yeah, I forgot we might have to say this one might get rained out Might get rained out people like that People love that. Do you know anything about this white socks pitcher reynaldo Lopez? Arlo, I think we saw him earlier in the year, right? Um Uh, maybe Yeah, no no last year we saw him twice seven innings pitch one on run and seven innings pitch one on run shut us down twice Well, that's exciting. Yeah, it's good to know Let's see. Uh, okay. Check this out. Kendries Morales has a homerun versus him. So good thing. He's hurt Mr. Ken. Um, yeah, what do you think that was 2015? Could have been Reynaldo Lopez. Yeah, he was actually he was really solid for them last year 188 innings pitched. Wow for a young guy um 391 era this year Um, interestingly enough His strikeouts per inning are up his k-ray has gone up But so have his homers given up his hits given up and his walks Um, so in 75 innings pitch. He's got 72 punchies, which is pretty good. Um, he's already given up 18 home runs and 14 starts um So, yeah, man, I I don't know it looks like this guy is a A strikeout home run pitcher this year. He's also given up more hits than innings pitch. Um, so I don't know picture Seems like there's gonna be some home runs and some strikeouts james. It's a bummer Are you that's that what you're watching out for today? It's it's sad man, right? I I think it's it's worthy over You know, we got I've got a little cloud cover over here, but there's potential doom and gloom in yankee land right now um Multiplied by the fact that kite we didn't pay the extra mill and a half or whatever it was for kykel Multiplied by our pitching doing bad multiplied by herman going down. It's just been straight doom and gloom season and the the cheapo yankees and um, you know, hopefully when we do go out and get that picture at the trade deadline Maybe it is an impact piece. Maybe it's someone just to eat innings, but Uh, I don't know man. It's just If we lose today It's gonna be so negative And it's just gonna be Well, who's coming back first judge or stan? Um And it it just sucks. You don't want to these two games are very winnable And I just don't want this yankees team already putting them in the rear view Stan should be back first. We'll do that on our review But stan should be with the yankees for the first home game Like in two days monday Yeah, stan should be with the yankees monday. He's in the homerun every at bat basically every game. He's sitting a homerun Yeah, and I mean that they mentioned twos they would judge her. So we'll uh, I I think I don't want to think they have to wait and see Yeah, and I I just I don't want that to become like Like I don't want that to be the team's vibe, you know, like oh, these guys are close They're gonna be back soon like well, we still got to play until they do come back, you know Yeah, and boonie said quote like uh, we're playing bad right now. Usually no positive He's like we're playing bad right now there But it's this comes down to the bullpen like one guy can blow this entire game And we're asking a lot of guys To do good. So my what to watch for is uh, don't make me sad. Yes, this game sucked It is the first game where if I didn't cover the yankees for a living I would have Like totally put it on as a background item Yeah, stop watching. I would have stopped. I would have just it would have been on and I would have done like I'll watch the movie with that on mute in the background But since I'm covering I was still making gifts in the sterling videos and stuff. That was the first time I was like this Whoa Yeah, and I I don't know if it's a positive or negative spin We go It was sabat the assessor to hail so in theory everyone outside of those three should be ready to go today um So I I mean jim I I guess know what the real what to watch for is um Because I mean even if if chad were to get knocked around that would mean two three runs I'm like that the games in nester cortez's hands if if if nester cortez has a good day The guys that are going to be going in the bullpen are Britain out of eno kanley because we kind of used our bad bullpen guys yesterday um So I I think if if chad If chad and nester can keep this game in the realm even if we're down one two runs I think we're still going to see some of the good relievers today, which that's kind of that winning When the game mentality we've been looking for a little bit. So there's some optimism um Just win Swing It's win, baby. I don't care if we win Zero to zero as long as the end of the day The win column says yankees won you want a zero to zero win. No, I don't want a zero zero and if that's how it happened And we got credit for a win yankees win. I'll take it Oh, maybe maybe we try to get uh Because didn't they say because the first game of this series was the anniversary of the the night they killed Disco Yeah, yeah, and then they did rock and roll last night john and sterling and the radio were having a fit They're like that was awful. So I I think worst-case scenario We have another kill disco party because i'm pretty sure the white socks had to forfeit that game So there's a little strategy there The white socks had to forfeit the kill disco party. Yeah Before the game and then it just got out of control. There's we could use that We could use that is anyone who's listening to this previous show going to the game tonight Start a fire. Who's gonna start the fire tonight? Who's gonna start the fire? Yankees need a win and jake sucks I lost Yeah, that's really good. They started singing ryan started the fire. Oh my god All right homer I would do a homer draft then the chats There's a lot of people talking to chat. So we'll go we'll take questions from the chat Homer draft eats the homer draft homer draft. It's the homer draft Jake Jake yesterday. Yeah, no one we didn't get anyone Yeah, man. I I don't know what it is. Uh, I think void is definitely the number one guy whose homers we miss Could be true You know what i'm saying. Well, how many homers does he have on the season? We can find this out I can bring that up james Luke void has what's your guess? What is it like 17 maybe? Yeah 17 boom 17 and we have correctly called one two Three of voids homeruns of a 17. We've missed missed 14 of them. Yeah, wow Yeah, that's tough. Um, who's up first today in the homer draft? you sequa, um We have correctly called 11 of gary's homers. It's pretty nuts um Common first pick. All right, who who am I gonna get today jim? I want to get on the board. Is that all right with you? I'm just gonna let the listeners know that you cannot choose gary deedy hicks or gardener Gary deedy hicks or gardener um Well, I have to go with Uh, give me clint clean clint okay Okay, okay So you got clint. So I can't take void gary or glaber void gary Glaber clint as a dumb pick by you How's it feel to have a dumb pick? I'm the guys i'm taking today are guys that you've already taken anyway. So i'm taking void as well So, oh, okay Okay, not that dumb. I would pick then Nope, I take it back. Thank you.

What do you think it is? 10 Well, the over hit yesterday. We were both wrong whole pin day bad picture. I might even go 10 and a half jim You would because you're crazy. I would i'm i'm mental I won't go Having trouble loading Fucking well, you're taking the over and the under without knowing Huh My uh Internet's wrestling me. So i'm having a problem finding it. Here we go. Here we go chat says nine and a half Nine and a half nice Thanks chat. Thanks chat Second city saying 52 nine and a half i'm taking Fuck it.

You're currently 18 and 18 in the over under so huge pick for you You could get you're over the hill, but you'll never get over the hill not in the car you drive Oh, um Okay Let's go to the chat see what they're talking about. It's going on in the chat Yeah, it's going to strike out a lot tonight. Hope not, but I don't care if they do if they still win Uh What's going on? Oh my god, do you guys think the Yankees will hit the white socks on purpose after the whole Voight Geolita moment? Yeah, so white socks fans. Maybe there are some Yankee fans that I didn't see Um, that was like a purpose pitch and it was a very smart purpose pitch and I think Or he knew it was a purpose pitch and he didn't like it and he's Voight's allowed to not like that and Geo is Not only allowed, but supposed to throw that. Yeah, that's kind of the um So like I don't all these people were coming to my twitter like he didn't try to hit him like I know He threw him up and in at a guy who hit a home run Voight knows that everyone that's That's been around baseball since the dawn of time There was no bad blood. No ill will Yeah, I think that that's where the some of the new age fans of baseball are confused like Everything that happened there was fine Everything was totally normal Voight hit a homer geolito threw an up and in fastball because he hit that homer Luke Voight didn't like that Yep. Yep. Yeah on to the next play. Yeah, I couldn't figure out. I couldn't I was like, why are you who this isn't a thing Yeah All right next yeah, the the I think the confusion gets caught up somewhere and like Oh intent Yeah, that's where people are confused like yes His intent was to throw up an it and he did that and then people are like well his intent wasn't a hit him and it's like Yup. Yep Affirmative Yeah Yeah Cubs are better than the White Sox north over the south nice Um How many homeruns do you think Eloy is going to hit tonight? Fuck Probably one Probably pops nester. Hopefully it's a solo shot Um, a lot of White Sox fans in here, which is kind of cool. If like we get fans of the team Playing that's thank you for coming in um I think there were questions earlier But I don't remember um But I mean I can't really find them. Do you? Do you guys like fish from Vermont? pH pH fish with a pH. Yeah, do you I don't like fish.

Okay, cool So you're content with james paxton and your rotation more than content. Happy to have james. Yeah, stoked stoked one of the better off season acquisitions Yep Um All right, I think that's all and that's trade for at need adamita was a fail How many runs will chat green give up? I have a chat having a good outing where I'm a chat fan Yeah, I think chat has shown that his uh, his stuff is back a little bit I mentioned the stat 193. He ran his last 9.1 innings Uh 13 strikeouts in those 9.1. Uh, yeah Oddly confident in chat if he does get touched up today that would be uh, that would be a pretty good twist of the knife But again, all these right socks hitters the the ones that have been punishing us are righty So I I don't know I I have some belief in chat look for chad to just Hit that outside low corner I did a breakdown of it and he just Until he gets it You do it Nice. Is that it give them your part? Yo, it's food truck day in lavalet. So I might run and go get some food truck food Nice, man. It's exciting, right? First time at all or do you want to be surprised?

Yeah Uh, Eloy hymen as is quite possible your dad Minor or I don't know if I'm a minor yours our dad Our combined dad. Sure. Did you see the the old yankees player that is my dad? No Andy stankowitz Andy someone I asked about trading for matt void. Why is why Why are people talking about why would the tigers trade matt void? Um, it's like a timeline thing like if the tiger like I think the tigers are two years away from thinking they're good And that would be like matt void's walk year. It's kind of like the michael fulmer situation, right? Like sell him while his value is high like matt void used to be nothing for them So now his value is high and he has ears like they could get a really big payday that meets up with their like new timeline Dude people would have given them so much for fulmer and it would have been such a dumb trade. So yeah, that I guess so Uh, andy stankowitz. Yes It's a terrible name. Oh, yeah It does kind of look like you Dude, I'll tag you someone on twitter did a side-by-side um Look at this. I'll show the chat Andy stankowitz. What a name The tough name Andy stank I mean, that's a tough picture, but yeah I mean top right looks like me right now.
