00:00
Game one in the Bronx tomorrow night, American League side, 635 p.m. East for the Yankees
00:09
and the Royals.
00:11
It will be Michael Waka-Waka-Waka and Garrett Cole in the first game.
00:16
Let me actually start things off by giving you some Bobby Wood Jr.
00:20
This is from earlier this afternoon.
00:22
Of course, you know, being a shortstop, Scotty, who do you think he grew up idolizing your
00:27
boy?
00:28
We don't have Bobby.
00:29
We don't have Bobby in.
00:30
That's okay.
00:31
He loves Derek Jeter.
00:32
I don't want to hear it about Jeter.
00:33
We're so far past Derek Jeter around here, it's not even funny.
00:36
He was watching all the clips, getting a feel for big games at Yankee Stadium, doing a little
00:42
prep work, watching some old Jeter videos.
00:44
He'll find out.
00:45
He'll find out tomorrow night.
00:46
He's going to find out.
00:47
About big games on River Ave.
00:48
He'll find out.
00:49
The hard way.
00:50
Minus 205 for the Yankees in game number one, Waka and the Royals plus 172, seven and a
00:57
half is the total.
00:59
George and Soto hitting shots in game one for Garrett Cole.
01:05
He'll give up one.
01:06
Maybe Bobby Witt will hit one.
01:08
Maybe it's Salvi, but Yankees in game one, they're the only team that hasn't been playing
01:13
that'll win because of the Yankees.
01:18
Yankees win the series, but I think it's going to be tricky, Scotty, in five.
01:22
Yankees in five is what I'm going with against the Royals.
01:26
Bobby, I give my tongues.
01:29
You're going to have to probably sweat this one out.
01:31
I think Yankees in five is where I'm leaning for that series.
01:36
The Yankees will manhandle the Royals and suffer punishment along the way.
01:40
Put the hands on the pitch, Skyberg.
01:43
I'm very nervous about what they're throwing in this series after Garrett Cole.
01:49
And I know Rodon is better in the second half.
01:52
I'm nervous about Rodon.
01:53
I'm nervous about Louie Heal.
01:56
I think the Yankees after Cole in the rotation is spotty.
01:59
We've talked about this.
02:01
They should find a way to get through these three teams and get back to the World Series.
02:05
But they're going to need to do what I think with the Bats and not as much, which has been
02:09
a problem for them in October, remember.
02:11
They have pitched well during the Boone era in October.
02:15
They have not hit.
02:16
So let's see if now having Soto in there with Judge changes those things.
02:20
Yeah, and I think the Royals have not had a good month.
02:23
They beat the Orioles because the Orioles are pikers, and they didn't do it by scoring
02:27
a lot of runs.
02:28
If they don't hit against the Yankees, they're dead meat because the Yankees lineup will
02:32
hit at least the top half of that order.
02:35
I even love to catch their wells.
02:37
I wouldn't let that Lee Trevino near that plate.
02:40
I don't care who's pitching, honestly.
02:42
I agree.
02:43
I mean, they got to get some other people involved in this.
02:45
I mean, this guy, Ben Rice, like Rice-a-roni.
02:49
I mean, this guy can't hit.
02:50
So I've seen him at three home runs once.
02:52
Everybody thought he was Babe Ruth.
02:53
Then he hit 100 the rest of the time he was here.
02:57
And I don't hope he can hit either.
02:58
I need deep bats, and I need the big bats to drive in runs and hit home runs.
03:03
Now Boone didn't say where he's leaning today, but I'll tell you right now, he's going to
03:07
play Verdugo over Dominguez, too, in that lineup tomorrow.
03:10
I'd expect Alex Verdugo in game one.
03:13
He's been in my game.
03:14
I'd play Dominguez, honestly.
03:16
I think it's more life in the bat with Dominguez in there.
03:22
I think you have a better boom chance with him in than Verdugo.
03:27
And if you're so worried about defense, then put Verdugo out there for defense later in
03:32
the game.
03:33
I think you got a chance for a thunderbolt with Dominguez in there.
