 Hello and welcome to the Talking Yanks pre game show game two of the second half game two of the series we were at the stadium last night so we were not in front of our cameras doing a pre game show but we're back we're excited and I've got Jake live in New Jersey with me. Hello. Oh first time I'm seeing my hair today that's new and everyone doing a little Collins word slide. I tell you what man the, the jazz is last night. You like to land you more or less? It's helping. It's helping for sure. How's everyone doing? Uh, yeah man we were at the stadium last night you remember that? When the house was jumping and jumping, that's like a 90s song right? When the house is jumping, jumping, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. Don't know the words to any song but the stadium is jumping first game after the All Star break. Yeah. Oh man. It's really. Yanks won her mom looked great. She's sending pitch zero runs three hits. That's Yankees shut out. Seven Ks no walks. The Rays and also you and I joked about this when we were talking about, uh, Fidolanzo and the Mets how like that's owing to be the pinnacle of their season. Like that's it. Vlad and his performance at the Omer and Derby is kind of the same thing. Like the dream season. What did Vlad do? He got thrown out trying to get to second. Yeah. Um, I'm trying to think. I mean, nobody had a big day for the J's or I'm going not to be weird. You're in my dream last night. Whoa, Nicholas Brown, uh, we're gonna need the details. Hey. Hey. Hey Simone. Um, but yeah, we, we had a good time. The Yankees had a good time, uh, big Edwin double. We needed that. Otherwise it was like a close game and it would have been such a weird loss. Does that make sense? Is that rude? Yeah, it was sucked. It was the guardie show. Right. Well, it always is. Yeah. All right. Let's do today's lineup. Today's lineup is, uh, better than yesterday's because of a significant piece. DJ LeMay, he was leading off playing third base, Aaron Judge in right field. We got Luke Voight, Louis, Linwood Voight, Louis V, baby back from the dead. He walked into the clubhouse late Aaron Bruin said, yeah, it was good to see him dragging all his bags and muscles back into the room like that. People usually say about you, but you're carrying bags under your eyes and like two pound weights in your hands. I had my beers with lunch and then I had drinks at a game and then that's high in, all right. All right. And then, uh, Sanchez game, I do Gary's catching Edwin and Carnation, DH, DeeDee at short batting six, Hicks batting seventh, Glaber in the eight ball and Gardner in left field and nine all and a half on the mound. A dude who needs a good second half needs a good start and maybe it's a good time. I mean, the Jays clearly aren't hot. We showed them out yesterday, Domingo and Hap kind of different pictures, but yeah, Nita is, is today for Hap, um, kind of last year's Yankee mentality. Like if Hap goes five innings pitch one or run and he's at 70 pitches, do you yank him just cause it's like a good start? Let's get the second half going with a fresh bullpen. Maybe like Otto and Brandon do pitch yesterday. So if then Chapman is can pitch. So yeah, I think if you can get Hap to the win, you don't risk it. Perhaps like we're sitting at the end of the five and we're up five to one, which would be amazing. I would take that. Then I think you get Hap out of there and say, take the win on the day and let's build on it. And his last start was 5.1, one or run, um, threw a lot of pitches in those 5.192. So it made sense. And I think, I think his last hitter was a lucky, um, I might be forgetting that wrong. But, uh, yeah, I don't know, dude, Hap, I went through Hap's, all of his starts this year. He had the three bad starts to start the season and then he's got two blow-up starts. So I mean, we're talking five starts, but outside of that, he has been Jay Hap, which I don't know, it's, you can't just excuse those five, but, um, yeah, it was awesome at it. So I don't know. Weird year for Hap. Let's have a big second half. It's been a bad year for Hap, but he did have one good start in the season against the Blue Jays already. Seven innings pitched for hits, one earned run, only four Ks. Now that was in Toronto and we thought maybe like, oh, and it was, we were about on the verge of being, we could have got swept if you had a terrible outing when we went to Toronto earlier in this year and Hap shut the door down in game three, avoided the sweep, had a good start against his former club. Maybe that plays the same here. But who knows? They got home run swingers and see how it goes. But those home run swingers on the bump for Toronto is Clayton Richard, who is in a battle right now for shitty picture of the year with Aaron Sanchez. We did this on our talking baseball show, episode two. That's not really out yet. Um, actually it is Spotify. It's on there. You can go listen to it. Um, they both are so bad, man. Clayton Richard's last couple starts, six innings pitched, three earned runs, six innings pitched, three earned runs, six innings pitched, three earned runs, uh, LA, five, four, Houston, seven, or five, five, two, seven. He's got a 70 or eight in his last seven starts. He faced the Yankees earlier this year. He went, quality start, six innings pitched, um, 300 runs and before that a 4.2 with Is he is our, his last three starts the most deceiving three starts ever? Cause at those are, are those technically quality starts? Yeah, six innings pitched. Yeah, his last three quality starts, but he's been bad. Yeah. Um, yeah, his, his numbers over the past month or so are, are kind of disgusting. Um, and yeah, I mean, so many rioties for the Yankees. We talked about it on one of the podcasts. I think with KB sharp that our rioties actually hadn't been mauling lefties like they should, I think their numbers were down first lefties as a whole. Um, so I'm interested to see that, especially with King Louis B making his return. What, why didn't they activate in last night? They were just going to give him an off day anyways. And like, yeah, just one, just have Brayda on the bench for this game. Yeah, there had to be some reason. Guess it makes sense. Maybe like, I don't know. He was down in Tampa yesterday. It wasn't even with the team out there. Oh, wow. That's bizarre. Yeah. So I don't really understand what's going on there. But I hope that he's the best ever. Hope that he's the best ever. All right. Versus Richard DJ. The May you as a 308 batting average, a, uh, 379 on base percentage. And that's in 30 plate appearances, which is pretty significant. They were in the West and our West for a while. Uh, DJ also has a home run and Aaron judge has a home run and the labor tour says a home run. So keep that in the back here. Like that a lot. When did DJ's home run come? Let's see. DJ hit a home run. Oh, I can't see. Wow. Wow. Baseball reference. Beecher. Oh, it was last game. DJ hit a home run off Richard in, uh, John June 25th. So you're going to hit another one. Okay. That's exciting. That's exciting. Oh, this was, uh, so the last time we faced playing Richard DJ cracked one to left, like turned on it and then judge popped one the right field. First two batters at the game. I think the last time Clayton Richard faced our lineup, that's right. He got like the death lineup and we were worried about his health because he's been so bad against righties and they threw out Lemay, you judge, Gary, Stanton, Voight, Incarnacion, Hicks, Torres, or Schell. So now instead of Stanton, we have gardeners. So gardeners, the one lefty. So hammer gardener for a home run. Yeah. Wow. That was crazy. Wow. Home address spoilers. Do you want to know who's out there? For the Blue Jays? I don't necessarily care. But yeah, give it to me. Who's playing for? Eric, Eric, Eric Sogaard, Mrs. Soderbergh. That's an inside joke. So, well, kind of, it's like Matthew McConaughey on a talk show. So it's not, it's Matt Damon doing Matt Damon. I'm a kind of impression on talk show. Thank Kimmel, Mrs. Sogaard. He's in right field. Cool. That's fun. Freddie Gallus, your shortstop, a lot of hair. We saw that yesterday. It's Lone Joe's McFly's mind. It comes down like from here. Yeah. Joe said he kept turning and thinking like it was a girl on the field switch. OK, those that's the shortstop. Cory Hill will never be Royals in left field. Geria. Kevin Biggio, second baseman. Oh, my God. Kevin Biggio's Twitter handle. Doing it big. Geo. That's awful. Kevin, that's so bad, man. Do it, do it, do in it. I'm going to copy and paste it. I'm going to copy and paste it for the chat so they can see like how he has this. It's this is tough doing it. I know he's young. That's not he's not in middle school. That's really lame. Maybe he made it when he was in middle school and he's like, fuck, I'm stuck with this. I don't know. When you're young, you do dumb stuff because I think my first work computer login was LL Cool Jake. I mean, I was doing it facetiously, but. Yeah, someone said misleading title, dude. And I looked at it and it says Yankees versus Mets. That's tough. Well, we'll see if we can work on the title. If the Yanks and Mets do play today, that'd be pretty intense. The title is misleading. The title is misleading. Randall Gritchick in center kills the Yankees. That's a tough at bat, for half to be honest. Rowdy Tellas, Brandon Drury, old friend at third base. Maley, the catcher. And we know Clayton Richard is on the mound. I miss Miss Oberg. I think I've just fixed the title. We think we're changing the title. Because the Yanks first Mets was. Yeah. But some might say wrong. Do you have a what to watch for specific what to watch for? Voight. Voight, I think Voight's going to try and I mean, he is like an energetic, amped up dude to begin with, who likes. Being intense and like, I think he's going to want to bring the noise. He's really good at walks. He's got a great on base percentage and he's really good at not expanding the zone, controlling the zone, like his motto and all that shit. But I do think he's going to want to come out with some fireworks. Like, if there's men on base, if they're drumming, watch out for Voight swinging out of his shoes. Oh, Voight is a thousand percent. First at bat, no matter what, taking one swing. I know, I think he may take it when I'm saying he's been in third. If there's like the first two are out, I think he may take pride in like, OK, I have to work this picture. OK, and I and he might in like despite like the whole world wants to know he wants to swing, I think he might take pride in it. But if there's men on base for sure, I think Lou Voight is so meathead and intense that he knows like he's expected to swing out of shoes in his first at bat back and like he like the thought runs through his head, like calm down, just take a normal swing. And then he's like, nah, screw that. I'm Lou Voight. I think Lou Voight's first swing, I think is going to be massive. We'll see if it makes contact with anything. Jim, I'm going surgical. And I think when that term gets brought up in baseball a lot of times, it's about the pitcher. I think our hitting is going to be surgical today, because I think you mentioned last time they come out, LeMayhew, home run to start the game. Judge, home run right after that. And with how bad he had been, the Yankees were like, all right, we're going to put up a crooked number. Everyone's going to home run today. Richard settles down. He only gives up one run the rest of the start and the Yankees walk away kind of tail between their legs about Clayton Richard. I think today they come out and besides Lou Voight's first swing, I think they're going to put at bats together. And I think they're just going to destroy Clayton Richard. Yeah, the offense will be surgical. I know yesterday they had they went into that game versus Aaron Sanchez saying work the count take because Aaron Sanchez had walked 22 batters in his last seven games. And then Joe West kind of ruined that strategy on them. And they're like, maybe we should just swing. So it will be interesting to see because then Clayton Richard, he hasn't been as bad with the walks, right? I don't I think like some misleading title. Really? Did someone say that again? No, someone was just like trying to tell you guys. Oh, I think it's rusty. You were right. You were right. Yeah, Clayton's not walking a lot of people. So I think they're going to come out just looking to attack. I think they're going to take their singles when it's there. You see a couple of doubles. You'll see a walk there in. Everyone's not going to try to go for the go for ball today. And that's going to lead to more runs. All right. Wait, we are going to do Homer Draft. Then we'll go to the chat. We'll go Homer Draft over under chat. Are you sure you're not going to sneak at him? Homer Draft. It's the Homer Draft. It's the Homer Draft. That's pretty good. You hear most people are going to storm Eric 51. Were you breathing while you were doing that? Was that like a... No, it was not inward singing, it was outward singing. Nice. Yeah. What do you think about that? The idiots. And so I'm kind of jealous of what he shows there. I have no interest in going to Eric 51. What's his aliens? And I don't, I'm, then I'm happy that everyone keeps them away from me. Well, they're friendly aliens. What if you're missing, what if they play great baseball? Would aliens have a better sport? They'd be good for a fun sport Friday. I think you're up first in Homer Draft. Homer Draft, it's the home. Just to be rude, I'll take Gary Sanchez. Every time I take Gary Sanchez... Are we counting this as a win for you? Did I win? Well, I don't know. We've done some, some half games before. I think you took credit. I mean, if you're taking, if you're taking that 1-0 Gary Sanchez two game set, I think I'm taking a 2-0 two game set. Okay, fine. Jake won. Oh, trying to snake out a non-loss? I don't know. It just doesn't seem like you should get credit for that. I mean, if you want to get rid of your other men... We did all three games here. That's fine. No, above that, there's a two game set where you have one point. Where? Keep going. You got that? Scrolling up. Come on. It's pretty hard. Right there. Yeah, but we played both games. Right, and we played both games of that series when I won 2-0. We played 2 out of 4. I mean, if it was 1-0, I think you'd have an argument, but 2-0, I think you know how to homerun. All right. Bullshit. You're just gonna punt the way. You're going Gary Sanchez. I'm going Voight and Judge. Who? One Luke, Voight, and Aaron Judge. So now who are you taking? I feel like Gardi's just in nut job mode and he wants to put one. I feel like that's a bad pick. I'm gonna go Glaver. Glaver got Clayton. Get him again, little guy. All right, over and under. What the hell are they? Where do you find it usually? I usually bring it up on my telephone. That's been half. What do you think it is? 10 and a half. 10 and a half, Clayton. It's Clayton and half. Clayton. I think it's 10 and a half or 11. Yeah, I think 11 might be enough. I'll go 10 and a half just because I think the world thinks Toronto's just gonna be very bad the rest of the way. Doing it big geo. Doing it big geo. And you just want to match mine. Whoa. 11 and a half. Whoa. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I'm taking the under. I'm going under too. I mean, one of these teams got shut out yesterday. Yeah. Do you know they're filed an official complaint to have people stop calling them Jays and just, you have to say blue guys. Where is the official complaint filed? I just made it up. All right, time to talk to the chat. What's the chat got going on? You guys got a home or draft? You got Valyrian Steel, second round V8 ticks? Dee Dee's 29th, February 18th, 19th and 19th was his birthday. How do you feel about the Angels? No, no, pretty cool. I think Jay cried about it. It's really cool. Went to bed emotional, woke up emotional, living emotional. Living emotional. Tom Davis within all caps, did you guys wake and make? No, Jake just has red eyes syndrome. I took a red eye flight yesterday and then I drank most of the day yesterday. So I'm, I tried to catch up something and there was crying. So there's a lot going on in this region. No, we got a fan from Zimbabwe here. DJ LeMay who broke Rob Angelo's beat the streak of 51 yesterday. Sorry, Rob Angelo. What does that mean? What those words mean to me? I'm guessing. Well, beat the streak. That's the old ESPN. Yeah, but DJ doesn't play that. Right, but maybe it was like, will DJ LeMay you get a hit? Who's Rob Angelo? Who's Rob Angelo? I don't know any of what that means. Flavors are eighth here. Our lineup is stacked. What's up with Johnny Lasagna? Lineup is stacked. I don't know what's up with Johnny Lasagna. Tom Nickens are meeting somewhere before the game Wednesday. We're, Yeah, we're gonna send that email out today or tomorrow, hopefully today. Yes. Well, gate eight opens at five and the free beer and food or all you can eat beer and food starts at five. So as soon as gates open, we wanna go straight to our spot. Jake and I will probably just be set up at gate eight at four o'clock. That's the goal. If you just wanna hang out, say hi. And wait. Gate. What's the bet tonight, boys? Or we're both taking the under. It's the action. What's the action? It's good always. How do you feel about Mike Schilt's ejection? He got ejected again? Like Schilt's pants. What are your thoughts on Mike Schilt? He looks like, like if a shrewt member managed, a shrewt fan were managed to baseball game. They're weird to me. I think Cardinals fans hate Schilt. Yeah. I don't have nice things to say about Mike Schilt. So I'm not gonna say them at all. That's how I was taught. Well, I said nice things. I said he looked like a shrewt member. Yeah, that was kind of nice. How's everyone else doing? Oh, I did a video on the, the Schilt ejection. Yeah. That one already. Like that Campbell football's new. Time to look at too much of the coffee. Bears, Beats, Baseball. All you got. Can we make it? Wow. Mike Schilt. The perfect Mike Schilt shirt. Yeah, I think I wanna make that like for real. No one's gonna buy it, but just no one likes it. It's the idea. Like, come on. Bears, Beats, Baseball with this picture. Or this one even? Yeah, that one's tough. Google images change their layout. Look at this. Look at this chat. Some people. Look at this. Here it is. Couple Gary day game after night game. That picture and then just Bears, Beats, Baseball. Should I try out for my D1 college team? I played travel ball to my senior year. Yeah. It should speedy. You won. I replied the last chat, you asked this with a super chat, which we appreciate. And I said, there's no harm in not trying out. Unless you don't wanna play. Yeah, don't try out for something like if you, if you make that's the problem. If you make the team and then they say, and then you're like, actually I didn't wanna do this. That's kind of a waste of time. Yeah, yeah. So only if you want, if you make the team and you would play, there's no harm in trying out. I know I decide not to try out, but it's really bad. What's in the lineup? What's in the lineup? Yes. Good catch by Armin. My favorite yank is extra slow, but really high in pressure. Kendra's mouse. Thoughts and advanced stats. Runs created plus war. They're good. I mean, they're just another way to measure things. Be good at baseball. And like use stats to supplement everything else. It can't fully lean on stats. It's like the lame, it's the lame term you hear every NFL draft when they talk about the combine. Use the combine stats. If someone runs a four or two and you didn't think he was that fast, you go back to the tape and you see why it was he that fast. I mean, I don't know. If a guy's hitting home runs and he's good at baseball and he's got a high war, is he providing you with a lot of value? Probably. Stats are cool. I like stats. What's your favorite stat? Favorite stat. Oh, God. This time with me. Oh, God. Why? I don't know. I'm so good at it. I'm so good at it. Why? You guys probably didn't know I could sing like that. Really good timing on my soundboard drop there. I was winning. Dominguez, Florial, Garcia, Untouchable. Yeah. We'll see. No. If any of them are in the major leagues. No. Davie Garcia is probably being- Could be touchable. I think he's I think he's trade bait as is could be touch. I think he got demo again. He got pro to the triple a To be showcase maybe Dave he's getting so much pressed to be showcased those cashmen's message to the organization the Yankees When they pump up a pitcher in the minor leagues, okay, think about savvy got a lot of hype Gumby got zero Zero Sheffield got a ton traded Chance Adam's got a ton tried very hard to trade in Oakland. They didn't want is everyone new chance Adams bad David Garcia getting a ton I Just saying Jimmy H. Short guys, huh? I'm excited for David Garcia, but I don't think he's untouchable. I think he's Are you recording on a potato? No, but Wisconsin living seems like your technology properly solid Let's go live in sorry for your sorry for your potato Wisconsin circle They bless first the east coast here. We are again mouse made out of cheese just sitting in there can't even watch a thing Do it again That's not do it one more time. We're gonna line the show
