 Ryan Rucco David Cohen Meredith Morankovits with you and now joined live by Yankees third base coach Phil Nevin going to chat while he works. How you doing Phil. I'm great guys. This is a lot of fun. I've been listening to the whole game. I love it. You've been piped in on the broadcast all time. It's like I was a kid back when going games with my dad. We bring the radio and listen to Vince Scully at Dodger Stadium. I get to sit out here and listen to the game. It's great. Well we can arrange this permanently for you if you want. I have to ask you this first because of the man in the box. I mean there are a lot of ferocious right handed hitters on this team. Do you ever get nervous standing down there. I do. I do. And I was thinking about that last inning if we were wired up. John Carlo came up and then Gary came up and I have to go down the line when there's a runner at second base. And that's when it gets scary to be honestly like a guy like Judge. He doesn't hit many balls down here that way. It's just his bat path. He almost did right there. But. But Gary's it bad if you saw. I mean he chopped one over my head. He fouled one straight back that looked like it was it would have come this way. But when Gary's swinging it good he's going to miss on this side once in a while. But going back to his bat I just wanted to point out that that was one heck of an at bat one that you're going to see I hope a lot more out of Gary this year. And when you probably hadn't seen maybe last year carrying a lengthening in a bat like that. That's foul. But just to give us the real time. Yeah just a great bat he saw a lot of pitches. Well I know you I don't know where you guys are doing the game from but probably hard to see wherever you're at. Yeah well Meredith's in Tampa but Coney is in his bar in Florida and I am in Stamford at our Yes Network Studio. So yes you are definitely going to be the first to know if it's fair or foul. So we appreciate that. So Coney's just sitting in his bar on. That's it. Right where I belong. Yes. Yes. Right where I belong. Going around there Phil you just brought up Gary. I want to follow up on that. I mean obviously there was so much attention about his season last year and the struggles but he has looked so good to start this spring. What has struck you most about Sanchez and getting out of the gates here in Tampa. Well I think just having a normalcy of a spring training it last year what people don't realize is we made a lot of changes defensively with them and we started that last spring and you get cut short and then I'll have that time with with Tanner and then to kind of throw it at him in a short spring training we had in New York with really no games to play before we started the season. That's a that's a hit. Stay fair ball. Stay fair. I think it's still fair. A perfectly laid down bug for the Marin Hicks. Yeah getting bad and that was a great one by the way something they shift a lot on Hixey something we've talked about he's put in a lot of work on his butting game and it just opens up the field when you're going to have a third baseman having to play more over here teams are going to know that he just did that. If he can just get it down on this side of the field in a shift it's going to be a hit every time and obviously you guys know who's coming up behind them so. Going back to Gary guys he's you know the head's clear it really is the bats he's took already the spring so impressive I point out two balls really for me that he's hit he drove a ball over the center field wall at one of the first couple of games and then he hit one actually to right center which you know we haven't seen out of him. Gary's a great hitter more so than just a power hitter and when he uses all fields he's one of the best in the game. It's popped up foul ground right side of the basket catch made by Evans for the second out Meredith. Now Luke Voight stepping to the plate Phil and he had mentioned that he wants to work on his consistency in the batter's box this year have you seen anything different from him as far as his approach is concerned to start the spring. Not necessarily from my angle I know what he's worked on I know what he's talked about he's saying a lot of the right things he's just somebody that is never going to be complacent in what he does obviously you had a great year last year in the short time that we played but he wants to be a complete player not just in the box nobody works harder defensively he's out here every day working on what he does with the pitchers his ground ball is covering for everything over at first base in his footwork and you just miss that but as aggressive as he is for a big guy it's amazing in as far as he hits the ball and as many home runs he's hit his discipline the way he controls the strike zone I mean we see him a lot go up there and whack at the first pitch and then next thing you know you got a five six seven pitch it back going and that's really the case for our whole lineup and I heard you guys talking earlier about moving passing the baton and that one's fouled again guys I love how you could keep us honest Phil it's tremendous yeah I can tell over here they go right over my head so but just passing the baton keep having great at bats and something Marcus and PJ stress and these guys me one through nine do such a great job of control in the zone pitching up picking up good pitches to swing out taking good swings Adam you know to take Gary's at bat last inning a number eight hitter in the lineup which Gary wouldn't hit eighth for most teams but a pitcher got to work that much and I heard you say probably catch Luke in the background there I think but we can get we got another inning together right we do we're going to be back together bottom fourth all right yeah all right we'll talk to Phil Nevin again at the bottom of the fourth so don't go anywhere Phil Nevin nice enough to join us again is David Bednar the new pitcher for the Pirates Phil you need some runs this inning because the third inning was wildly entertaining but it went too quickly so get the boys to score a few this inning right yeah we need a lot of action we can talk more we can holler at the guys running around third get a handshake we got we got some new handshakes on home runs this year so well Phil Glaber Torres at the plate right now he's a guy that worked a lot this offseason not only defensively but on the offense as well how has he looked to you so far this spring best I've seen in four years that I've been here to be honest with you one's going to get there fly ball right center is put away by the way Stokes now he really has his his him prepared this wise this is the best I've seen him as far as going about his business each day I spent a lot of time on the backfields on the infield with Carlos hitting him ground balls and he's really in tune he's he's he's worked hard he's his body obviously as you guys can see looks good he's really applied himself and he wants to be a very good shortstop you hear him talk about wanting to be in that mix of the guys they talk about the Lindors and careers and and he should be to be honest with you he's that caliber of a player and he's starting to realize that he can be that on an everyday basis I think we're going to see a really good Glaber Torres this year I'm excited for him yeah Phil have you thought about the potential of your son get into the big legs with the Orioles at this point you know Tyler Tyler Nevin your son obviously great prospect and working his way up skit close knocking on the door how are you going to feel if you're if you're coaching against your son on the other side of the field in a big league game you know Coney yeah I the other day he got it bad against him we hit him actually but that's the first time we've been on the field like that together and if it's any sort of foreshadowing of a regular season at bat you know Cabrion standing 20 feet for me here and we all know Charlie so well and I've known Cabrion since really the draft he was the same draft as my son and I tell you it'll be an emotional day as competitive by as I am there's a ball right to him so as competitive as I am obviously it won't take away from me wanting to win a game or anything like that just like when they were kids both of my boys playing card games or board games I never let him win pool or nothing that's just the way we were in our house but I honestly don't know how it'll be I you know I I've talked to cash when I first got the job you know I'm not missing my son's first big league game hopefully it's against us but then I geez I don't know how I'm gonna feel in the dugout it's you know watching them just take the field the other day I got yeah I get you a little bit really because you just you know it's your kids so you just you know you want them happy in life and doing things that they love to do and he just loved playing baseball and he's always wanted to be a big leager and you know we're he's close you know and if and when that day comes it'll be special for all of us show we look forward to seeing that Tyler a first round pick back in 2015 and we look forward to a Yankee Oriole matchup and maybe miking up Bill and seeing the emotions of that day Bill since you you know you're giving us some insight talking about the handshakes you can have this year who is the player on the team most likely to blow through a Phil Nevin stop sign that'll be Luke without a doubt you saw it happen a couple days ago Luke Luke thinks he's Luke thinks he runs like a guardie maybe sometimes or and I love him I love him to death he's always trying to push the limits on a lot of things which is what makes him such a good baseball player I'd rather have a million guys like him that you got to kind of throttle back a little bit instead of guys you got to kick in the rear as the cone as you know there's one see guys this guy this is the guy that gets me a lot that's just a little chopper if you remember one in LA a couple years ago I'm standing back this far talking to the umpire and Tom thinks I'm talking to him right now but if you remember in LA he hits a line drive at me that I figured I was far enough back I'm agile enough still maybe get out of the way and it was on me before I could even start moving I got my hand up just in time and knocked me down at Dodger Stadium which is home so I got I got I got ragged a lot on that one I was going to say Phil I'm sure they never let you live that down after they knew you were okay in the clubhouse I heard a lot about it sure well Phil we so appreciate the time these two innings hope to do it again sometime man all right sounds good guys thanks
