 Here comes the sun little darling here comes the sun and I say it's all right Aaron judges back bat and lead off Jimmer for debt the constant pride of the Yankees future Yankee captain six seven two eighty five the thunder from down under Has everything was correct. Thank you. He once got zipped up in a body bag Covered his face Aaron judge big-ass body bag Like a dead body it's on YouTube. Oh, it's on my YouTube channel this one This YouTube channel this very channel has a video of judge being dead zipped up in a body bag Well body bag unzipped He's here Jake. He's playing games for the Yankees again What an exciting day we had Edwin we had Stan we have judge Yes The offense is healthy. How about what actually Hicks had a little update today the offense is healthy though Yeah, and it's it's a little bit of a funky lineup But I think you and you and I actually kind of like this kind of lineup because there there's a little more balance throughout I think I'm sure there's a couple 16 year olds at home saying why is Brett Garger batting before Glaber Torres? But it stretches out the lineup. I've something so What do you have to say James with the 11 or 3rd or 12 guys? We have on the offense right now Right. I'm not including Romain. So I think there's 13 hitters the 12 of them if You complain right now about what order they're in Go to your bathroom Take a look at yourself in the mirror and knock yourself out Because you are a person that just lives to complain and no one likes you There's there's there's There's judge. There's Gary. There's Stan There's Edwin. There's DD. There's Voight. There's DJ Cameron Maven. Who's a god right now? Brett Gardner has a One dot OPS in his last like two weeks Who the fuck cares? What are they hidden? Yeah, I think the only thing that some people would be mad at is that boy and DJ are sitting today with Hicks getting his injury Thing figured out which people don't mind right now. You don't hear a lot of people saying hey Why is Gardi playing? Which I think is kind of funny, but uh, yeah, you know in theory. You'd like to have one of boy and DJ in there Here's it's also it's it should be you're right, Jim That that's a very half glass empty point of view the glass half full point of view should be like our team can rest guys and Still put out a better lineup than the opponent and that's what we have today DJ's been playing like every day. Yeah. Yeah people people Um Voight has never played a full season of MLB MLB baseball in his life He's been carrying the offense as the only power hit it will with him with Gary for like a while Let them get their days guys like having days off Who the fuck we can afford this. Yeah, and when you'll you'll appreciate it if we do good things in October James Down the lineup today Aaron judge leading off and right field Only to lead them's Gary Sanchez second catching DD group Gregorius is your short staff Jim Carlos standing will DH today with Edwin at first base batting fifth Gardi center field in that sixth slot between Edwin and Granaceon and Glaber Torres You can't tell for my voice. I enjoy that Glaber at second Gio Urchella at third and Cameron I survived Maven in left field Cameron Maven In his last 11 games, what do you guess? What would you guess his batting averages in his last 11 games? 42 played appearances Cameron Maven 42 played appearances. I'm going 393 400 even Anzi knows it 429 on base percentage 1.204 Ops for home runs three doubles is God right now It's insane. He um It's it's the rule of baseball if you play well enough You will stay on a baseball team. I think some people might say well Clint Frazier was saying the bat Well, yeah, but he couldn't help in every aspect of the game and Cameron Maven is By the way, Clint with a moonshot the other day that was cool But uh, yeah, I mean ride this Cameron Maven thing out I still think there might be a day and in August when we look back and be like how nuts was that? There's also a chance as I've been giving you credit for mentioning first I don't know if you want me to slow down on it Maybe somehow Cameron Maven drags this whole damn thing out and boy Would he be an asset in a playoff series to pinch run and play defense? Yeah, we're a while from that All right, let's do Brett Gardner now last 11 games Brett Gardner last 11 games. What would you guess his batting averages? 375 344 what do you think is on base? What do you think is on base percentages last 11 games for 69 462 How about that one point one four nine OPS will Brett Gardner and Cameron Maven keep this up? No, are they hot as hell right now? Yes. Yes, did you have any qualms with them hitting in this lineup? No, can DJ and Voight afford to take a breather when you have your guys who are other guys playing out of their shoes Like because these guys are so hot we can rest DJ and Voight for one game. It doesn't matter You know what Jim? Sometimes there's bigger things in life. Sometimes there's bigger things in baseball and one of them I'll just mention briefly because it just came across my screen. You Darvish is currently two for two off Jason Vargas today So Vargas have August Who are you? I don't know you That's that's a little inside joke the Mets have a new pitching coach who's 82 years old and it's just kind of an easy Target for us right now, but James I'll jump over to the Houston side briefly. They haven't released their lineup yet Hey, Houston get your shit together. We try to do a pregame show here release your lineup in a timely manner, please Yeah, I'll give Lineups comm has an educated guess with their lineups first left. That's a real website Yeah, I got really excited when I saw line up dot com line ups dot com They're they're assuming that Bregman will move to third today Brantley DH Altuve at second Gurriel at first Jordan Alvarez in left Chorinos catching Josh reddick in right Jack Mayfield Jumping in at shortstop because he's a righty and Jake Marisnik The right-handed hang center fielder We'll see how much of an educated guess that is the the longer the show goes on maybe there's a better chance It actually pops up, but I I would assume that's pretty close to what what Houston would be rolling out today Houston They got to get some fight in them. I mean they lost a game with Nester and Hale throw a majority of the innings Yeah, Jimmy and I I think well, hey, you know what maybe they bounce back today And we still got three games in the set last night. Oh, I'm not like I'm still You there Yeah, oh, I'm not like trying to like diss them I'm just saying like I expect the dam to like come unplugged at some point because they're like brutal right now And they're not well, and we'll see if my theory is right Jim, but I mentioned it with the Tampa Bay rays I think we saw them at the right time. We got energy from Edwin and G coming back Judge coming back today. I think what we don't appreciate about that injury time And maybe maybe look back to 2018 to appreciate it when the injuries happen In the season they cannot the wind out of your sails, especially when you're going on a grueling road trip Which the rays in houston are going on and I mean no george springer. No carlos korea. No mccullors no mcq Um no max tassie. So they're they're missing some big parts of their team, which you lose a couple games They got swept by sincey coming in I mean that can that can start to wear on you as a team So it'll be interesting to see if they bounce back if they fight or if this is going to be a part of their season They look back on and be like holy smokes. We were playing jack mayfield at short short stop Um and the yanky know that feeling Yeah, and I think that's jimmy. I said it coming into the series and I'm not I won't fully peacock about it But I think it's funny that when the Yankees went to houston. We were down and out on our on our kind of emotions I think while they're here they're going to be a little down and out and if we do meet them in the post season People are going to be like looking back to these games to pick things up and if you're a real fan You'll know like these aren't the same. Yeah, never met at full strength yet. That'd be interesting. Well, they do have Yeah, you just said the word peacock they got brad peacock going he's having a pretty decent year He's having a pretty decent year jake. He has a um Oh, this is his numbers versus them, but I think it's a three six or three seven era. I had it in front of me I don't But he's having a pretty decent year his last couple games haven't been That great foreign runs foreign runs and then so his last two games foreign runs each um and only he hasn't broken a hundred pitches and his last Seven games or so and we got to the bullpen early yesterday. So I'm guessing they would really like him to go Max out which I looks like it's not even a 100 pitches So that takes Yeah, right. We want to keep in the game. Well, uh, we'll see what peacock. He is having a really nice year three six seven era um 76 innings pitch a three eight five fit if you're into that kind of thing a little whip if you're into that kind of thing um, so yeah, we'll we'll see what peacocks got tonight. Um And jimmy on on the mound for the yankees. It's your buddy the big maple eight Hold up peacock has faced a lot of these yankees uh before And edwin has a home run off him before and judge and gary and those are guys He's gonna face right away. They all have home runs off of him But there's not a lot of at bats camera maven two for six Nothing put stock in it, but I like looking at home runs camera maven with a double gd with a double kentress morales Still on team. How about that? Anyway, we have paxton going The yankees are throwing james paxton who has now had two good starts in a row. No one one one Um, he's currently on a one game good start One game eater and jim. I think the bigger thing to take away is that from from the last paxton start We saw him come out and he was still you saw 94 on the gun with the fastball and you're kind of like what? Um, but then as the game went on we saw 96 we saw him touch 97 Which is a really good sign. I don't know if it was mechanics or the body feeling good or a little column a Little column b, but it was good to see that james paxton again and his uh, I mean off of that His breaking ball was dirty. Um the early innings when his fastball wasn't there. He was just Throwing some nice breaking balls. So, um, it'll be interesting to see I'll say this I don't think like you and I there was a while there when paxton got hot that we had blind confidence in him We're not there right now. Um Like if he if he had a poor start today, like we want to be shocked like he hasn't looked like that dominant james paxton Um, if he if he threw that today, I'd be back to being confident in him though He has a history with the astros because he was in the same division for a while and all his numbers were great He had the like they were the he had the best numbers versus the astros any team But his last start he got rocked for five earned runs when we went to houston Which was bad. They thought he was tipping pitches. Remember Right. Was was that the bell tran times? That was the bell tran times bell tran told Told paxton you're tipping your pitches with a runner on second His hand was higher Or no, he was just literally showing them his fingers. I think yeah so I guess that's something to look for is he tipping his pitches. Are they gonna be Are they gonna be spitting out on the breaking balls and hammering all the fastballs? but yeah, there is a good amount of history and Altuve has two home runs versus paxton. I think they were in the last game, right? I think they were in that game Altuve was just going crazy. George springer isn't playing so that but he has really good numbers There's a lot of really good numbers versus paxton out of this houston team. So It'll be tricky. He's in the stadium now. It's not in houston. We'll see how it goes Path to victory jake. We used some bullpen yesterday. We did So what do you what do you think it is? um, I think auto's available Paxton for nine. Um, yeah, no, I think out out of vino has kainley gone back to back days now Or did he throw a lot of pitches last night? I'm drawn a mental fart Imagine Kainley what is your what's your question? How many times I said drawing a mental fart? Um, that was a tough joke. Um, chad pitch 33 He's out nester literally off the team kainley only through 15 last night Hale through 65. So you won't see him and then chappy came in No one no one's gotten two days in a row. So yeah, so I think everyone is available jim So I think I think with paxton you still expect a semi impressive performance and anything below six innings Um, would be slightly disappointing But again, if they have to if he gets through five and then kainley has to hop in mid inning or something like that I mean you can still do that tonight Yeah, what is your what to watch for? Jimmy my what to watch for as you well know, uh, I am in lost vegas right now A city that you would assume I'd like for the obvious reasons, which is pretty true like placing a bet The cool thing I tell about vegas that I think anyone could get behind is there's just a positive energy in lost vegas Everyone is there for a good time. There's almost like a freshman year of college vibe Like you never know who you're going to place a friend bet with on the roulette table or who you're going to see at the pool later Or whatever it is. Um, jimmy you want to talk about energy? How about yankee stadium tonight? It's gonna be palpable Aaron judge back in the stands. We're playing houston. The team is playing great ball Um, I mean a good inning by paxton and then judge at the dish that place is going to be going nuts in the first inning And as we mentioned the momentum with houston, um, where they're at and where the yankees are at I mean if the yankees score first in this game, I mean, it's it's almost as good as dawn I don't want to peacock too much because oh brad peacock But uh, and you know again, like we said paxton hasn't been paxton paxton. So Um, but I don't know jim. I think the place is just going to be an electric factory I think it's going to be the bronx zoo Especially if we put A couple early runs up and we have like a 2-0 or a 3-0 lead. I mean mail it in Friday night as well rowdy crowd usually It's going to be it's going to be a good time But the yankees got a feed off it fans got a feed off it's all going to happen Judge being lead off Does put like like so paxton needs to have a one two three or just a uh, scoreless first Yeah, paxton can't give up. We can't deflate the balloon before judge gets to the plate That's jim. That's actually huge and paxton struggles in the first inning. I was just going to say that paxton um That's Last season we saw it coming in with last year stats and this season the first inning has been tough And I mean, you know, this is kind of the baseball obvious stuff But you know the astros are missing a few guys, but that first inning you're going to see bregman brantley out to vey Um, so yeah, I the maybe the first paxton's first inning should be the what to watch for It's if there's a if there if he has a One two three inning and then judges lead off the energy will be so big That'll be an awesome time if he can deflate it the energy is still going to be there But yeah, it's that kind of on paxton to not let the judge moment get ruined So I like that my what to watch for jake. I had so many there's so many fun storylines right now Like obviously it's judge It's gary steedy. I kind of told you stan was going to have a day yesterday without a home run. He had three hits on the day paxton's there My what who has first pick in the homer draft? I do uh, you do because you baited me into you baited me into g yesterday I baited you into stan. I took gary. I got it. Yeah, okay So my what to watch for today is deedy gregarious deedy came off the dl And he was hot as a rocket with his bat his first What is his first seven games? He had a 385 batting average with uh, uh 10 hits His last three games 0 for 4 0 for 4 0 for 4. Okay, not that great You know what they did to spark deedy They put him in between Judge and gary ahead of him then deedy then stan and edwin behind him He is going to get so many fastballs He's protected by stan and edwin deedy's gonna take a ball into the right field seats today and say I'm still here guys. He's gonna get pitches to hit It's I really like that move by boon putting him in between all those guys to to spark him to give him balls in the zone So I expect uh deedy to go deep tonight and have a good game Yeah, and jim I I I really like that a lot. Um, because he You know deedy dropped the hole not a home run hitter thing blah blah blah deedy likes that three spot. Let's be honest. Yeah deedy deedy wants to be in that three spot and he's there today Um, and yeah, I I mean that's a great call Yeah, all right, so that's so homer draft. It's the homer draft homer draft. It's the homer draft I get first pick clearly. I'm taking deedy It's uh, it's a great pick. Um jim Call me old fashioned man Give me edwin and crenaceon. Um back to back days I I mean he looks hot jim. He's having an incredible season Edwin and crenaceon is on pace for like a i-40s home run season We got him for a 19 year old that we traded for for a guy who's out of the league Um, that's insane. Um, and then jim, you know what? Let's uh, let's throw salt in the wound Let's go guardie back to back in the lineup today not taking judge, huh? No, don't think he's gonna do it first game back Six walks today. I'm not. Oh, wow. Oh for oh it's six walks. All right. I am taking stanton Got three hits yesterday started heating up Now comes the home run. I got DD. Wow. Nobody taking judge for fools Not judge is gonna have a double to lead off the game Then he's gonna like take it easy. Maybe a walk Strike out maybe another strike out one for two one for three Double two k's and a walk Will be good All right, or that oh for oh with six walks. You were talking about. Yeah, that's what I mentioned Um, why'd you take gardener? Dude, you said the stats. He's he's been hot lately. Um, yes And we're we're at the short porch at the stadium. That's where that's where he likes to hit him Um hitting five hole like he know how tall he's walking around the dugout today hitting between Was it edwin in labor the two guys Or edwin didn't go or edwin went yard yesterday, right? Yeah Yeah hitting between two guys that hit home runs yesterday. I guard. He's walking tall Uh, what is the over under I got it, right? I got it correct yesterday. You know I had the over and I bailed just because I I thought chat and nester would have it and they did till that Rain delay, but you know, I have the numbers so wrong because currently it says my record is 20 and 20 And yours is 22 and 20, but we've made the same amount of picks. So shrug no idea shrug um shrug Paxton versus peacock with this yankees lineup and a and a slumping houston lineup. I think it's going to be nine and a half And jim I have the houston lineup real quick bregman. It's short brantley and right al tuve second alvarez D h'ing again gruel at third charinos catching jake white at first mariznik at center and mild straw in left So we're not seeing that that other bum it shorts up, but we do get to see the mild straw show Um way different than the crazy straws these straws are just mild. These are just mild straws. Um ash finkter says what? What what was your guess for the over umber nine and a half? Nine and a half. Um, why can't I find the yankees game? Here it is. Um paxton, uh, let's go nine Nine and a half. Yeah, it was it was the right play Yeah, I'm gonna go over Yeah, might as well feed off that energy, baby Right. All right. We're both going over. Let's go to the chat. We did have someone We did have a big shout out to rich russo Rich all right use that new super chat donated to the car That donated to the cause Wow, thanks rich russo first one ever. Yeah, that's cool. I don't really know what this is about I we turned it on but um, I don't know how much we owe rich russo now, but I really appreciate it. Thanks lifetime of love. I think full lifetime of love. Thank you very much All right. Um, let's see. I'm gonna scroll for some questions Jake how is it like being a packer fan? I am not So, but what's it like? Just speak on behalf of the packers fans, you know, what's it like being a packers fan? Honestly, it's pretty good, right? You've gotten 40 years of good quarterback play now. Um, or it'll end up being 40 years Um, I think it is tough They've been in a little bit like we're elite because we have erin rogers But like they kind of haven't been an elite for a little while now Yeah, ever since cappernick broke them second city saint 52 says what are we doing for the 100k celebration? No idea but youtube sends like a plaque jake. I don't know if it's douchey to like put it behind me like no It's not It is it is. Okay, then I won't maybe for a little bit Uh, I don't know the rules. I don't know what you should do You should have katie draw a picture of the plaque and put it on the whiteboard That's someone asked. What's the thing behind you in your hotel room? Is that just a weird lamp? Yeah, that's a weird lamp That's a weird lamp. Why don't you go turn it on? Okay, brb. Let's see if I know how to this could get ugly quick. Yeah, you're pretty god the one day. I'm wearing shorts Here he goes turning on the lamp jakes turning on the lamp a breakdown Uh, just sliding up and down. They can't even see you. They can only see me I wonder if I can present them to you. There you go. It was a kick. It was a kick button Oh nice. Okay, uh, how will Bregman do I think is the question probably good. He's good He's really good We're we're Bregman fans like I don't I think it's hard not I think if you If you dislike Bregman, you're just being a hater just because like you hate the astros and so you're just hating because He's pretty like he's pretty likable. It's pretty awesome. Awesome Uh Did you hear francesa gone for over an hour on that topic? No I don't know what the topic was Ha lamps Who's better chevus or vlad junior right now it's chevus, right? Like like ceiling still probably vlad junior, but I mean easily vlad junior and I think vlad junior got off to an awful start and now he's been uh He's been doing good things. Um So yeah, I mean if you're if you're in it for the long run still easily vlad chevus has been nice though And I mean he not in a rude way, but he has the boston look to him Um that he can be beloved in that city for a long time if he's good Um Why is alvarez guy so good though? He's good. I mean he was a top 50 prospect. He's he's a big boy and um I don't know man. Uh jim. This has kind of been one of my go-to statements But the two teams that have been clearly doing things right lately in the al I mean don't get me the wrong the red sox had a great season. So they did stuff right too, but I mean The astros and the yankees the the brantley lamehu signings. They just seem to pull more and more young guys up Um, those two organizations are doing it right in the al Yeah, so i'm gonna ask what the 45 on my hat stands for luke voigt Louis linwood voigt if you could pick one player from any movie to be on the yankees Who would it be? henry groen gardener We need pitching. We really need pitching. So or steve nebraska Basically the american uh, otani Well, steve nebraska american wasn't he from like some weird country? I think I think uh, I'm going I'm going john c. Riley catching in that kim cosner movie, which we basically have That's basically what romain is just the um In vlad jr's last 34 games Um 281 350 obp 857 obs so he's he's getting there Why not over a month? Why not bet on sanchez for a home run? I couldn't take sanchez because I took him yesterday. So that means I can't take him today jake could have I guess he's saving him and if you're talking vegas rules I am I get really nervous if I don't know how to place the bet Um, like I'm not going to walk up there and be like can how do I bet gary sanchez hitting a home run? Like I just feel like a total loser. So I think he's talking about the homer track Well, you can bet that in real life too. There's a we got a ton of tweets about that yesterday Tom davis is why are you weird with self promotion? Why are you weird with self promotion tom davis? I don't know how to I don't know what that question. I don't know. I don't know which side of the You've answered it perfectly. I don't know which side of the scale. He says I'm I'm hot. That's maybe maybe I'm being weird now If you could pick one good player we already did that Oh, shit. Oh, shit Should I start peacock in fantasy? No, and I I mean I I'm so biased, but I would I mean it's the first time we have judge gary edwin stannell on the same lineup I would just say no, uh Is bright sarp or the best player ever? No, he's not even the best player in his generation um Is kykel making his debut today jake Kykel's making his first start today. I bet on him. Oh, that's cool. I like that Yeah, and the braves are playing really good baseball and they're facing strawsberg and the gnats And I was just like I think that brave theme is just gonna have a lot of energy Even if kykel's not special like getting kykel donaldson's last seven games have been nuts talking baseball Yeah, some guy said real mudo is the best catcher in baseball It's I feel bad that they're gonna have to like still fight that fight Yeah, like no one no one's fighting you because it's not even a discussion. It's nice It's like you think you've won the fight because nobody's fighting It's because no nobody would even engage in that. Basically i'm standing in the pouring rain and you're like It's sunny out right now. It's like i'm not gonna engage you in that conversation. It's very clearly raining but All right. That's the end of the pregame show jake's gonna go enjoy vegas. I'm gonna go eat some food then make Everyone's requesting the a's walk off yesterday.
