 she left me roses by the stairs surprises let me know she cares say it ain't so Yanks at White Sox Ivan Nova take us home Jay Hap happer the happer Mike Talkman is back in pinstripes welcome back to Talking Yanks pregame show my name is John Boyd I'm here with Zimmer the dog how's everybody doing today Zimmer how Zim sleeping under the table you made me scared I was like where is he's not over there usually yeah it's getting that cold floor in yeah can you hear an echo or anything I don't have headphones I don't know if it's fine I think it's fine not too much of an echo no cool all right well let's talk in the next pregame show hey what do you say go the Yanks versus the White Sox in Chicago as Jake told you in his beautiful introduction on today's show much like every other YouTube Talking Yanks pregame show we will be discussing the lineups the pitching matchups what we're watching Homer Draft over under and then we'll take questions from the chat boom there we go Jake yeah let's do the line up how are you Jim yeah I would crash so hard about half an hour ago and I had to go to the liquor store which is you know it's right across the street to get a gain rate and five-hour energy because we gotta do this they're recording sharp stats and the games on then I got to record two movie podcasts after that so my day starts right now and I said you know what I said Jake I said hey I'll get I'm gonna put on a sunshirt oh wow that's bad the day was going wow I need to buy more well there's one from our store on its way yeah everyone in the in the chat go buy the Talking Yanks sunshirt we'll all match at our event talking Yanks I'll say no you're getting your own shirt for that okay in different anyway anyway how are you doing I'm good James I'm good kind of it did a little double take because we're playing in the central time zone so I was expecting the you know the seven Eastern tip it's the 80s turn tip that actually bought me it bought me 30 minutes when I needed 45 minutes which is all right because I I mean punctuality never my strength hey out there people looking to iron me but I'm doing good man excited for some Yankees baseball the punctuality is not your strength not a strength you're I don't I've never really had a problem with doing puncture I dislike people that aren't punctual no no no I'm not I'm not the constantly running late person it's just sometimes it's there and I actually I live in fear of punctuality so like I'm it's kind of like you and me when we wander the city like if we if I had to be in at an event for 8 p.m. in the city I'm aiming for 7 p.m. because I'm just assuming all of the worst things are gonna happen yeah I'm with you yeah all right Yankees lineup today is as follows DJ Lemay you did your limit is leading off plant third base over at the hot corner Aaron Hicks is in center field Luke Voight at first base Gary the love of my life Sanchez is catching D. D. Grigori said short labor Torah is that second Brett I hate Brett God not left field gaging and Mikey talk man talk dirty to me back the action gets called up because Morales went on the DL which I buy well now that I don't buy it I wouldn't be surprised if this was a phantom DL stint sure that's more talk for the pot the raid podcast in the pregame show and it happens on the bump or shella Romine Maven on the bench pick anything about this lineup um I think it's funny they threw talk daddy right in there good for you Michael let's see yeah I just just just just talked about him on the Rockies podcast BSN Rockies and yeah we'll see we'll see what he's got I'm I'm excited we saw some flashes out of talk it felt like he felt like he was a two for four with three ribbies or he was a guaranteed 0 for four so we'll see if we what talk men were getting but yeah man Noah no or shella well we'll give him him a day off and the the infield juggle has begun we'll see when Didi gets his day off this series but yeah I like this lineup and I know the big thing you've been pushing Jim is I every day are one through six hitters should be a quality lineup and we have that again today yeah I mean even with judge and stand out our one through six now is good and yeah that's good this is a four game set so I wonder how the infield rotation will work with D having to get on all that stuff you give us some background in the White Sox which everyone is wondering why you didn't do that already the Chikagi White Sox yeah well I mean if they were listening when we played them this second week of the season they would know they're currently 32 and 34 on the season I think Jimmy and I might possibly go on an ugly rant that if they were in the AL East they'd be a lot worse than that because the AL Central is how do you say stinky doodoo in your language but I mean lifetime pretty good franchise Jim 9,243 wins to 9,160 losses that's a 502 winning percentage nine playoff appearances six pennants three world championships and their winners thing winningest manager of all time is Jimmy Dykes and yes and the team we are rolling out there today for the White Sox Lori Garcia and center field Tim Anderson your best friend at shortstop Jose Abreu at first base James McCann catcher hitting clean up good for you James Eloy Jimenez left field we saw his kind of break on to the scene game earlier in the year Jose Rondon at third Yalmer Sanchez at second base and Ryan cut the cordel in right field with old friend Ivan no fun on the ball hey what's uh what's the other guys okay never mind so you just said that James McCann's deaching you you haven't been there as the catcher batting clean up when I meant deaching I meant batting clean up okay yes so we have two catchers hadn't clean up how about that I'm gonna tweet at James Smith and yes to research is having both catchers batting clean up as rare as my brain currently thinks it is okay maybe it's got me right yeah I think I'm I'm trying to think you know Wilson Contreras maybe real Mudo I I mean I'm sure it happens but yeah not I like I don't think he's gonna come back and be like this hasn't happened since Piazza and Posada in the in the subway series like I I think there's gonna be some examples but yeah it's a little bit of a rarity okay anyway the White Sox the White Sox actually have a better last 10 games than the Yankees they are five and five in their last 10 the Yankees are four and six it's kind of as hot as the White Sox have been getting this season yeah win five lose five there you go but him as has been hitting the hell out of all three home runs in his last seven days I believe pretty worried about him versus half they have good numbers versus half as a whole Jake we talk about half below right now half's coming off two good starts actually is coming off like three starts that I'm good with six innings pitch three runs five innings pitch one on run versus Boston and seven innings pitched one on run versus Toronto he had hit a slide where we were getting really worried but those three games in a row are decent so he should build on that but check this out Tim Anderson seven for 14 lifetime James McCann five for 16 there's a lot of good numbers there's a lot of good numbers yonder Alonzo four for six yeah it's yonder in the lineup yeah yonder is he's having a tough season so far I think the only thing that we we really need to also mention about the White Sox is one Makata the big prospect that was one of the main guys traded for Chris sale and in the Red Sox trade he started to figure out this year 295 348 OBP 854 OPS he tweaked his back so he's out this game how did you get again he was raking he was raking calls yeah he was raking calls and he got a mid back strain allegedly the sources so we'll see what's going on there yes it's gonna be interesting because Jimmy the this line up without Moncada they only have one player that has double-digit home run so far in the season that's Jose Abreu who again not having one of his best years OBP under 300 but yeah I mean yonder Alonzo tough start he's hitting 181 let's be honest they signed him so they could try to bring in Machado because they're extended family but yeah these these White Sox want to be chippy they want to be competing they have some young pieces that they're they're hoping to develop we Makata with a war over two on the season and good for James McCann breaking out so scrappy not not any layup games it's another road trip and maybe that's the first mini what to watch for Jim I mean our last road trip we played the Blue Jays who are bad and Cleveland who is solid and they had one of their better series but we looked not so great on the road so this will be an interesting little four game set and I wonder if on Saturday we'll be saying let's try to salvage this series or let's go for the jugular another thing to note is the White Sox have one of the loosest dugouts and club houses in the MLB they're full of fun I mean you got Tim Anderson back flipping but they just are blast in a good way so I'm actually excited to kind of see that and I think maybe it could be a fun game all around because they have a blast whether they're winning or losing Yankee should have a blast winning and the White Sox will stop on losing who cares you know yeah come on guys just lose because you'll still have fun losing just so it's loose we have speaking of no fun we've got our old friend Ivan Nova on the bump yeah who I actually liked as a Yankee but he never really figured it out and he's still kind of just like a middling pitcher had one really good year with Pittsburgh he's having I mean his ERA is brutal his ERA is brutal on this season but in the first month of the season was terrible actually no Jake you can't really find a section that's good he's having poor year something he has he has holy shit one two three four he has five starts out of 13 with five or more earned runs as bad it's not good yeah I mean arguably one of his best starts of the year was against the Yankees one run over six innings so we'll see if Ivan has that kind of heavy sinking fastball today and we'll see if Happer can keep guys in the park it like like I said with that you know no one Moncada that helps out but yeah I mean that top half of the White Sox lineup and well Anderson and a Bray you McCann and men as I mean those are the four you got a circle right there so let's this is a fun fun thing for Yankee fans let's look at the lineup the last time we faced the White Sox who Ivan Nova pitched against that game compared to now Brett Gardner let off Aaron Judge was batting second DJ Lemay you was betting third Labor Taurus was batting fourth great bird fifth Clint Frazier DHing Mikey Tachman left field oh this was this season Higashi was catching and Tyler Wade was at 9 hole what great bird Kyle Higashi Tyler Wade Mike Tachman we won Yankees one for nothing this has been a weird season man and talk daddy's back baby yeah I I don't know I guess you know we could say there's some upgrades not having Tyler Wade in there but yeah get get hit score runs that's what I say so what was your what to watch for my official what to watch for is gonna be eight hole Clint man we talked about how we like the strong top six DJ Hixey Voigt Gary Dee Dee Torres you know Clint Frazier feels like he's a part of that he's a he's a guy who's batting clean up for us during certain points this season you know I think he's a competitive guy and he's confidence driven and I bet he's looking at Brett Gardner above him in the lineup and saying like Brett Gardner's batting before me so I got a little circle on Clint man put put something together today show show him you're not an eighth hole guy show him you're a five-hole hitter show show him who you are so I'm watching DH Clint out of the eight hole out of the eight hole my what to watch for is he now make me say this correct Eli Jimenez yeah I think you're there I got it yeah all right well dude he's been crushing the ball hat gives up home runs he's batting fifth I believe don't put anyone on base I think he's gonna get half today and I wanted to shot okay fair yeah no no I'm I mean I'm kind of a half stand and I I don't know I mean it's very possible Eloy could get him I just think half has been pretty good for his last 10 starts and I I always like these matchups I mean it was kind of the the Jason Vargas Gary matchup that we we ended up enjoying Eloy is not on Gary Sanchez's level obviously but he's got that big power swing going and it's I mean it's gonna be a fun matchup every time I think kind of leaning into your point I mean if I do see Eloy Jimenez up there with the you know with ducks on the pond James I don't like that matchup but happer past 10 starts 58 innings three five seven ERA the Yankees are nine and one in those games so I don't know I'm a I'm a half believer I just thought about if Hawke Carlton was still calling White Sox games I guess he did a couple is like they got a lot of Latin names that when I read them I'm like shit I don't think I'm gonna pronounce this right like Hawk going yalmer yonder Eloy Laurie a lot of fun is though I mean they're they're fun names but they're all what's the what's the word frenetic they're all pronounced how they're spelled what about Lee Yuri Laurie yeah what about Eloy I don't think that's correct I think it is what about Tim Anderson all over it babe you're hot today Yvonne Nova let's move on to the home or draft it's the home or draft oh pitching path victory both these teams had off days yesterday full bull plant full bull pens should be available here's my fucking message to Yankees pitch Zach Burton today or face the wrath of an angry tweet from me wow which is three off days now in a row he's gonna be garbage I hope that we have a five plus lead and they throw Zach Britain in there he's gonna give up a run or two I say they throw him and he's good and I only thing where we're missed that we probably should have said and maybe you did Jim and I was just ignoring your dumb bumbling mouth DJ LaMahieu six for nine off Ivan Nova yeah he hates him don't personal vendetta 727 on base percentage set 73% of the time DJ LaMahieu comes up against Ivan Nova he gets on base yeah he hates him because every time he steps into the box Ivan Nova likes that phone with him he goes oh what's up JD and men don't call DJ BD yeah that's one way to get our clown town anyways the Homer draft Jim or draft it's the home or so the Chats one said it's Aloy and then the other guy said it's Aloy so a lot of people pronounce that name I guess who gets to go first I'm on the draft um let's see I think it's me I believe it's because I I went you took Gary I wouldn't say you're hot you're warm five correct pics in my last eight games yeah that's warm yeah you were you were celebrating the very same thing week ago I had nine and six games so let's let's talk about what's high and what's warm you're warm and I'm damn proud of you every day but two for my last two that's hot you bitch let's uh well if you keep it going this series then we'll call you appreciate that Homer draft it's the Homer draft I am going to go with Gary Sanchez is rude when you're rude no no no no no so it's it's not rude when you take Gary with the first pick but it's rude on boxes boxes full of El Gary hats because every time he hits a home run I ship out an El Gary hat to a fan for free right he's my guy I get him in the Homer draft you just stole him bullshit not how it works who are you taking well I'm gonna take Clint you talked about him I'm mad at you nice and boy yeah Clinton boy okay I like it I love it I want some more of it uh give me liberty or give me sir DD Gregorius DD okay so it's Gary and DD verse Clinton boy it was a four game set so we're gonna be which one of us probably should have taken taken talk man today because hot daddy because it's four game set but we'll see we got a lot of good players that aren't available now for the next three games give me interesting all right let's go to the over under I'm also burning hot in the over under two for my last two wow so hot how do the new because you're over your last few oh for my last two I'm 17 and 17 on the year you are 16 and 18 so this is a huge pick for you John boy yeah I think it's gonna be set at uh eight and a half eight and a half really um I've been going nine and a half I'm going nine and a half I took it back well that's just you being a lame copycat the people are very disappointed they haven't said it 10 10 holy I'll go under I'm a half stand you're a fan of happenstance happenstance um oh man 10 is pretty high what do you think the final score is that you're going under um I'm going uh seven two I'm scraping it but under okay this is tough because they both teams had off days yesterday so does the offense come out just like going crazy or are they going to be a little sluggish with the pitchers going nuts that's where my I'm trying to I don't know which way it falls I don't have a lean for are the bats hotter or colder after off days hmm I will say this I think the white socks their their plan isn't to win this season they love hitting home runs hap gives up home runs I think we're going to see the white socks swinging for the fences and I do think they will connect with a couple uh but the Yankees will win over under let me get there okay I have to start over I think the off day yesterday they couldn't see that they couldn't see that you always made jokes just for me it's nice yeah uh I'm going over nice I think it's going to be uh a nice six to five victory all right so we're both scraping it we got nine and 11 there you see Jake all right what's next chat is there any is there any in the chat is having a good time just ask the like do they get a spanish speaker in here and that there's just quizzing him on how to pronounce all these names it's really funny that's good though like hey do lory do uh yell on do uh okay do Javi bias um talk rangers yeah we won't reply him or on the mlb show or beat boston win that wild card yeah do it uh there's no real questions they're just all it's active chat's been active which is nice but no real questions like that well community thanks guys appreciate it um this guy says that I don't know I don't know if he knows how to pronounce things like someone asked him how do you pronounce Javi and he he wrote jav dash e which like would be jav e um so he doesn't get a phonetic spell no javi simple guys okay uh I think that's uh well what y'all's middle names Jake's middle name is Ronald we'll end the fucking show oh my god oh my god
