 I see trees of green Red roses do I see them bloom For me and you and I think to myself What a wonderful All right, I Thought you're gonna throw like a maple tree reference in there I did think about it, but I went past the tree part. Yeah It was just a song and then if you change the wonderful world part like that's almost like that's like a sin So I let it ride. Yeah, and then I was waiting for it's a Yankee sweep world or something like that But it was just a song in the end. It's just a nice song It's a nice rendition of it's a wonderful world All right, we got game three of the Yankees versus Blue Jays series Yankees took the first two First one was we'll get into it. They got a pretty good lineup again Stan got hurt yesterday. So we'll see how He's got a lot of days now to like kind of Figure that out if it's just a bruise. So he's out of the lineup everyone else in the lineup It's pretty good lineup Jake DJ LeMay. He's leading off playing third base Aaron judge batting second playing right field Gary Sanchez playing another day game after a night game. That's of note Voight in clean batting cleanup at first base Edwin in Karnaz Sione homer yesterday He's D. H. And Didi Gregorius back in the lineup Aaron Hicks in the seven hole Labor tour is eight hole back there Brett Gardner rounding it out at nine Paxton on the bump I'm surprised to see Gary, but with the two off days before we go to London it makes sense. I guess But I was still surprised to see it because yeah, then you have three days off in a row Everything else is good right we just have a good lineup now Yeah, it's uh, I mean it's a bummer about Stan. We'll see what the update is contusion always gets Tricky because it's a bruise and it's either Significant bruise or it's just an excuse for pulling a guy out of a game because he banged his leg a little bit So we'll see on that but no, this is a good lineup You and I are guard he stands, but he's been good for the past Oh, he's been very good for the past over a month now. Not just good Hicks figuring it out from the right side Glaber batting eight seems unfair Edwin finds a short porch again. So yeah, we love it and yeah I don't know if we want to go there now But I think the Yankees are gonna really try to abuse these off days with the London trip And even the all-star break coming up even though a couple of our better guys will be there But I think they like they are happy to do a bullpen day in London, which that's a pitching thing But yeah, I mean, I love it. You know, it's an early game Gary's gonna have the night off in two days and you know if I think there is a world where they well There's obviously a world where they'd like to get a lead and maybe throw Romain in in the seventh inning or something like that But uh, yeah, we we love it. This is everything we asked for last year. Yeah, true I was saying on my postgame recap yesterday Like we we took the series today So they we may see a big punt lineup tomorrow and then I was like We don't have a punt lineup anymore. It's not really a thing they can do It's really hard to throw out a lineup that will kind of disgust me It's kind of insane, right? It's like I mean, it would be Romain for Gary, which Toph put it's a backup catcher and then Guardi again, who's been great for a month and Like a coin flip between Urshela or Didi. So it's like, yeah, this We're we're doing good things people Yep, Paxton's on the bump. I kind of just said this to you like it feels like a wasted Paxton start Like a day game of a series. We've already won Right before we play the Red Sox Which I believe is the same time last time we played the Red Sox Paxton pitched the last game of the series right before And it's like I wish the Red Sox game was tomorrow if the Red Sox game was tomorrow Paxton would not be pitching today. I don't think I think they would have rescheduled it to push Paxton so he faces the Sox But the Red Sox game we have two off days in a row. You can't push them that far So this kind of feels like a wasted Paxton start to me because I don't care much about this game today Yeah, a little bit and especially our big thing with Paxton lately has been him like feeding off the energy or giving us that Intense Paxton feel like it's going to be tough day game before the london trip for the sweep To get that big energy out of them. Maybe maybe we're wrong. Maybe he's hey, it's against his native land the toronto blue jay So maybe that's it jimmy. He's uh, he's always been pissed at them had his perfect game against them, right? um So I don't know that's a pretty tough spin. I guess the other thing that I would spin is that He's going to start today and then he's probably not going to start until I mean next week like the tuesday or wednesday game, right? So and and again after that is the all-star break So I think the Yankees are viewing this these next two weeks kind of in arrest mode And I think that's what they decided with Paxton. They can almost give him like a mid-season breather between the london trip and the all-star break and The bullpins have been working and as I told you a second ago Like I think they're going to be willing to empty the bullpin For both red sox games, which I think is pretty cool. So um, I'm I'm okay with it I understand your feelings though, babe. Oh, I know that they their hands are tied. It's just kind of just like I'm not complaining that they're doing something wrong. It's just like man wish the schedule didn't fall this way but Is what it is. He's not going to pitch until like thursday friday unless they Completely flip the rotation after london which they can Um, and and maybe there's maybe there's some talks about that. Maybe we'll talk about that Then if you do that, then yeah, then you can get cc a ton of rest. That'd be cool. Yeah, we'll save that yesterday Uh, what are the what are the blue jays got is this is this updated? They got yeah, oh cavin bizio is leading off today Vladdie dh'ing Gurio on left field gritchick and right Rowdy at first turn and as in center field galvis at short Oh, drury. Have we seen you throughout this series? No Is he just a bench player for them? Um, might be a lefty righty thing right now. I think they're I think the blue jays are still hunting Uh for something and I I think they like bizio at second and vlad plays a lot of third Those are drury's strongest position. So I he might be in a tough spot right now Does mckinney get more run than Drury It's mckinney get more run than be drew. I don't know Because they were the two we traded over there for hack And you thought drury was the main piece But they're both on the 25 man, which is kind of interesting Yeah Oh, I did uh, I did uh um Just did a dumb thing I wanted to compare I wanted yeah, I wanted to compare drury and mckinney's 2000 seasons So I went into baseball reference and I clicked it and I compared mckinney to mckinney Baseball reference in the kitchen like are you sure? Yeah, that's that's that's a feature that a good one like a google or a better website that has the people They've developed that not baseball reference. Yeah, I'm sure you compare mckinney Mckinney's played 45 games. He's been he's also been a little her uh drury's played 61. So he's still getting some run Yeah, drury's hitting 210 mckinney's in 215. So ops of 641 and ops of 608 they've both been awful. So That sucks The bummer. Yeah, anyway, so we see drawer today at third base That'll be fun. He was a he was a Yankee last year but went blind for anyone that doesn't know So they traded him So excuse me coach. I'm blind. I said, okay Go to the miners and then we'll trade you. I haven't been able to see for years What Yeah, no, it's just Sometimes during games I get these splitting migraines and then my whole entire vision goes blurry And you have never told anyone for six seasons in the mlb. Yeah, I just never seemed like some people would want to know about I'm like, okay. Why are you trying never came up? Well, you're traded. Yeah blindo So anyway, we see him one of the best triple a players there's ever been Set records for on base Well, they've rewired they re so anyone doesn't know they rewired some nerve in the back of his neck That was giving him splitting migraines and causing blurry vision So they fixed it he can see now and then he was stuck in the miners because ando har was doing so well And he was just like I think he had like a 40 game on base streak And like was playing so good and all his quotes were just I don't belong here I wish I never admitted to going blind I'm a major league player. That's why I'm doing so well Oh, let's find his numbers from last year Oh, no 400 on base percentage He said like he set the consecutive on base streak or something like that. I'm crazy. Yeah, so So there's someone's asking if we're serious and it's like, yes. Yes. This was a storyline last year Yeah, that was a real storyline last season Sifting through our words he genuinely told the Yankees He's at splitting migraines and he has trouble seeing sometimes and he's like, yes Okay, so he went to the dl. They did a bunch of tests They kind of figured something out like jimmy said and then uh when he came back ando har was raking at third So there's no spot for dreary So they just kept him in triple a because he had the option and he was setting records and they do They do like the nice minor league tweets like brandon dreary's, you know sets triple a record for getting on base It just be like this is awkward. He's he's a major league player Yeah Big debate like do you think dreary regrets admitting to blindness? He made the triple a all-star team, right? It was such a dubious award Suck. Of course. I made the all-star team guys. I'm a major league Yeah I have been since 2015 It's tough tough times. All right, so droid is the lineup today at third. Congrats, brandon. We will see you there And paxton's on the mound jake didn't paxton just just face these uh These blue jays recently and he had a good start. No, we had a bad start Mr. Maple I really bad I'm pulling it up right now It was 4.2 innings pitched three earned runs Only uh 83 pitches thrown so not the best But after that he had I'm trying to think was that so that was his second start after rehab his his first started through 66 pitches against the padres No hit and then this was against toronto three earned runs three walks Um, and yeah, he threw 83 pitches. So this was kind of his next jump and he still wasn't right yet Yeah gritchick homered off him then cavin bizio homered off him then Vladdy got an rbi single off him. So watch out for all the young guys He's been good his last two starts He's been really good at the stadium this year like really really good at the state I think two something era and seven starts. So I'm expecting big things from paxton today but I'm kind of not as well because when the vibe is not there and there's not a big game environment. He's seen to Play like it's not a big game and today is so not a big game I can't think of a lesser big game We've won the series everyone is already looking forward to london And so excited like the all the all the questions are already about london All their families are already on flights over there. It's gonna be This game is gonna feel like a battle like no one's gonna care Yeah, it the the optimism of a yankee fan would be All right, you know put up a big number early throat and cruise control catch your flight That could go the other way too if toronto gets a couple runs early You know, we we could see A yankee type punt day kick in which we haven't seen In a little bit now, which is all right, but um I don't know. I I think day game at the stadium paxton. It kind of is the what to watch for right? It's It's does paxton and the yankees have energy or they already, you know eating fish and chips Yeah And you think they're gonna use a lot of bullpen today or you think they're gonna use a lot of bullpen in london That's what I was confused about pregame So I think I I think potentially both I I think I'll say this the second part. I fully believe in I think with the two days off A how much have we talked about the yankees regularly using guys, but b two off days before and off day after Um, I think they're going to be ready. They're doing a bullpen day and I was thinking about the logistics of it I mean, it's all it's even more spaced out than a playoff schedule Like if they really want to You know go pedal on the floor You know, they can use the four horsemen in both games and it wouldn't be a problem at all Um and with chat green pitching. Well, I I mean, there's a lot of opportunity there We can do and we're still undefeated in bullpen days. So I don't think they're going to be shot. I mean, they're not going to use Chapman, right because he No, no, he's not pitching today Right. Um, so britain moves up to the closer roll and we want to which I told you guys yesterday I was all over this. Yeah, so Um, so paxton to britain. So what's what's the connect the dots james? Paxton and then britain's going to close if we need a closer autovino can go I probably should go Unless like he's really there's something behind the scenes like he's really tired or something's nagging at him If if pax if autovino is healthy, he should pitch today even pitch yesterday. He threw three pitches on Monday and he did not pitch sunday. So he's throwing three pitches in the last three games And there's two off days Coming up. So he now has his chance to get some work in otherwise. He hasn't pitched in a while Yeah, I mean, there's even a world where I mean if you get paxton for six, which is pretty feasible. I mean you could go Three innings between auto and britain. I mean, that's that's very feasible Or you could see someone like if kanley needed to finish Maybe you try to push auto for two and have kanley finish an inning if you need it kanley's out He's out too. Okay. Yeah kanley threw the last two games in a row. So he's not going to pitch today kanley and chatman are Unavailable, but britain will close it I think auto will get an inning and then we'll see what they do man. Like they could Turn to sessa or hail or tarpley. I leverage tarpley. Hail probably. They they we still like hail yeah, so So like if it's a close game the path to victory is paxton for like seven auto and britain for one each With kanley and chatman unavailable Unless they use kanley, I don't three days in a row knowing there's two days off But I don't think they will I think yeah the chatman are unavailable Unless kanley felt good and they they've been wanting to try that like we've seen them do gary catching a day game after a night game If they wanted to Test out if there's a guy to test out if he could pitch three straight days. It's probably kanley But yeah, I I think I mean if you get a good six out of paxton and it's a close game I think you go to vino if he has one clean inning you throw him out for the second um If not you you figure it out. You have to figure out a couple outs to get it to britain yeah they Have said that stan is available off the bench today that's a lie But they have to say that There's no way they're gonna play stan it would have to be like two serious injuries it would have to be like The last at bat of the game a side winding lefty against brett gardener And stan is feeling great today. He just had like a cut on his leg And i'm not trying to say stan's injured or hurt. I'm just saying two off days coming up Yeah, and banged up they they're not going to use more important things Yeah, they're like I would guess they're not using stan today at all My what's watch for jake is the short porch and edwin incarnacion He had never hit he had never hit in a short porch home run in yankee stadium in all his life until he became a yankee His first home run he kind of found it. It wasn't it was a porter, but it wasn't like Not a home run swing porter Yesterday he basically sneezed a ball of right field for a home run That was an eye-opening moment for e-squared I think edwin was he was pissed about it Off the bat and then it just dunked in for a home run, uh, you know, and he might be like wow Okay He was like mad I think we may see edwin fall in love with the short porch for like a week Until he has to then say like okay stop it just hit do hit how I knew normally hit because He hit the cheapest home run yesterday. So he might just be aiming there today And it's it's always interesting jim. We'll we'll see how it develops, but We you know, we think a stadium is kind of a stadium for 95 of it But I mean if edwin incarnacion has has taken a lot of outside pitches because he's only got You know 325 power the other way Like that could kind of change his approach and how pitchers pitch to him Like maybe pitchers can't throw away to edwin incarnacion And if you throw in I mean you mess with the bull you get the horn. So Um, yeah, he was he was pretty happy with that Yep. All right. Is it homo draft time? Uh homo draft It's the homo draft We both got a point on the board yesterday jake. Yes, sir You got your erin judge call correct I got my edwin incarnacion call correct, which means on the series you're up three to one You have directly predicted three home runs and you're in the last two games Good for you Piece of shit. Oh I get to go first I cannot choose Gary deedy edwin or stanton I cannot Can't pick them I cannot pick them He's trying to figure out how to play defense right now Yep. Yep. Who has jake not chosen that he might like today It's deedy or voigt are the options or Okay, I'm taking labor and judge Nice I will be going with um edwin. We just talked about him. He's having a good time Um, and you know what I think I'm gonna go guardy jim. Um, wow, that's weird Yeah You're weirdo. Okay Just saying I uh, I know I gave the cop out what to watch for before many what to watch for La mayhew is hitting like a goddamn nut job Yeah, best batting average in the mlb, right? Yes, but he even these past couple games jimmy it's um I did his last he's he's hitting He's one hit shy of hitting 500 in his last 10 games Um, which okay. Yeah, that's that's insane. Sure. We know that Um, and I mean it's a little skewed. He he had the four for four the other day, but he had four hits um I mean jim just his last three just because I think it's silly. Um, he's eight for his last 10 with three walks That's pretty good one of the outs one of the one of the two outs was a strike three call out of the zone like clearly um So he's uh, he's crazy hot right now. So that's a mini what to watch for All right, mini what to watch for we got it What's the over under yesterday you went over you got got? got got um It it turned into the the classic game the Yankees had the couple bases loaded it never it never cracked. Um What do you think do you think they go back to 10 and a half Paxton's kind of good 10? Yeah, I think to me the nine and a half Sunday getaway day You just never really know Damn not on espen again Who's got the over under in the chat? Who in the chat has the over and under Maybe I just Maybe as maybe ESPN is just being dicks and stopping to do it. I don't know any betting sites. I don't care Let me uh, give me one thing. Tell tell the people you're waiting to tell them about the other thing I'll just go to the chat. Just answer some questions This has to be the most depth the Yankees have had in the field in pretty long while DJ has to be the best pickup in the offseason by any team will Brantley has looked good in houston. I agree with Most and all of that josh club What do you think we're doing with greg bird when he's back? Uh, greg has to get back first. We're at the point where no one even asks about updates If he does get healthy, he'll go to triple a Yeah, and and that's about the end of that journey for now until he gets there. Um I mean it would be september call-ups Or a lot of people getting hurt at this point Are you going to cover the vandy win last night? We're talking about that on demo j radio. We're doing after this today Um Some guy just said are you serious? Oh, we already did that and he was talking about jewelry Congrats to jake correctly picking judges homer yesterday. Nice. Thank you James James got one Yeah, I got one too. Hey congrats congratulate me 19 girl bh Drury not good this year Uh Do you think glaber will be an all-star? Isn't oh, he's got to win this next vote He either wins the next vote or he gets in organically and he's he's gonna be an all-star Okay, so we think he will be an all-star. Yes third cheater's birthday today. Yeah 45 loop void Wow Uh, do you think the Yankees will get 29 straight games with the homer? Does that mean they homer today? Yes They broke the record yesterday. Yeah, the homer today someone homer. They're at home And then they're gonna homer in london because the field's like 200 feet to dead center Little league. Yeah Oh Great, did you find the over-under? I saw some things. It was looking like 10 or 10 and a half All right How'd you feel about tarply in the seventh? He looked good. He looked mean like he looked like he had something to prove He turned around after his first strike out like that's fucking right It's like whoa got that MLB safe. He's tough now chatman jr Yeah, uh, I can't remember the last time i've seen hoody jake. Wow jake your hoodie game has been off. They're saying Yeah summer What's that? It's the summertime. It gets warm Ethan does not think that drew the Yankee this year. He could be wrong though Don't don't check with us Yankee for life Should the Yankees trade for addison russell of the cups? Everyone's talking about it Uh Someone responded trading for addison russell would make zero sense Jays are better than the ryanke said paid which is objectively not true Um, all right, let's see. There's some that are just coming Dodgers going all the way chatman's a closer What's jake drinking? There's an important question Um, I was having some coffee out of a colorado raki's cup actually Wow, go rocks Yeah Go rocks What's the jake sucks back story? It's the front story story ellie story ellie of my life I think that's uh, I think that's where we're gonna end it Come on come on just son jjr if you're bored at work Are you looking for some to watch a little national sports little silly stories You going to any of the Dodgers versus yanks in august so the Dodgers coming out here aren't the Yankees going to la Yankees are going to la Yeah, I won't be there Oh, it's So far away from me Yeah, I debated it crash on bobby buttz's couch Do you do have a spot?
