00:00 New York Yankees, uh, as they are losers of four in a row.
00:04 I've been abysmal coming out of the break.
00:06 Uh, their roster is horrendous.
00:09 Uh, yet I know it's just, it's just, if you'll allow me quickly, Donnie, I am
00:15 tired of having things and be like, Oh, you're so mad about the roster.
00:18 They spent all this money.
00:19 Yeah.
00:19 They're spending it poorly.
00:20 They're spending it poorly.
00:21 And there's all this money on Josh down.
00:23 Everyone knew the second Josh Donaldson got there.
00:25 He was terrible.
00:27 We, we knew that immediately and they're like, ah, but maybe you'll be a good
00:30 locker room guys.
00:30 Like no nonsense.
00:32 And then IKF came on.
00:33 What are we even talking about here?
00:34 It's a bad, it's a bad roster.
00:37 That's the truth of it.
00:39 It's not that surprising to see.
00:41 And some of this stuff is extreme because they are only three.
00:46 There are three games over 500.
00:49 Again, we, I've made this point.
00:50 The Cardinals, the Mets, the Padres would kill to have the Yankees record.
00:56 The difference for the Yankees though, is this is a team that every single year
01:00 kind of hits a ceiling when you get to the AL post season and they didn't make
01:05 that team better.
01:06 That is left it in neutral and they've got one big injury to Aaron and judge.
01:10 And now they are completely useless on a day-to-day basis.
01:14 They're above minus 200 against the Royals.
01:16 I am sure Donnie that they are supposed to hit or Schmitz supposed to steamroll.
01:21 You can go through it all, but the Yankees are just one of those teams right now
01:25 that it's just, there's no joy in watching that baseball team.
01:29 No, there is no joy, but there could be some tonight here.
01:32 And again, you might have to take a little bit of a leap of faith because
01:35 that one through nine based on right-handed pitching, going up against
01:37 them for the past 30 days in baseball, it's horrendous for the Yankees.
01:41 And by the way, go play power ball.
01:43 If you said, you know what, I think two guys in the lineup would be named one
01:46 Oswald and one Oswaldo in the middle of the season here for the Yankees.
01:50 That's what you get in Paraza and Cabrera, but the big guys aren't stepping up to
01:53 the plate, you and Carlos Stan should be hammering baseballs.
01:56 He's not doing that.
01:57 Glaber Torres has been absolutely terrible.
01:59 Anthony Rizzo should be on the borderline of getting cut at this point of how
02:02 poorly he has actually played, but here is that saving grace.
02:05 Alec Marsh is a right-handed pitcher.
02:07 Kevin, he's coming into this game with limited batters, phase 42 of them.
02:11 But let me tell you something about this.
02:13 And again, some people might be new to the show.
02:15 Donnie likes to talk about ISO power numbers and weighted on base percentage.
02:18 ISO power numbers is isolated power.
02:20 How much damage are they doing on the plate?
02:21 What's the percentage and what's the frequency that they're getting on the
02:24 plate instead of getting into all the details, that's basically what it is to
02:27 be a very good pitcher in major league baseball.
02:30 You want to be around one 70 or less coming into this game.
02:33 Alec Marsh, ISO power number three 53.
02:35 It's basically double, which means he's terrible.
02:38 Now again, weighted on base percentage here for a pitcher, three 20 to three 25
02:42 or less, you're doing your job and your average.
02:45 If you're around that number, anything higher, you're not, he said a four 36,
02:48 Kevin.
02:49 I'll say this.
02:50 If you're looking for the Yankees tonight, now granted again, 79 degrees in the
02:55 Bronx tonight, winds blowing out to dead center field.
02:58 If the Yankees aren't hitting tonight, Kevin, they're not hitting at all.
03:02 But having said that Donnie, who would you pick in that lineup right now?
03:05 Basically nobody except that they're going to get such a terrible pitching
03:09 staff.
03:09 Somebody has to step up.
03:11 I don't know.
03:12 Jim Carlos, Dan, maybe a hit one tonight.
03:14 If you don't, we're going to be worried about it.
03:17 He's above replacement.
03:18 Aaron judges the leader by far, like half the games or the rest of these clowns.
03:24 Half.
03:25 I shouldn't say clowns.
03:27 You get the point though.
03:28 It's just, it's ugly to watch.
