00:00Let's start with Aaron Judge, a couple from him, number one.

00:06He has obviously done a lot in the Yankee uniform, but for the first time, he is going

00:11to be playing in the fall classic.

00:13Very excited.

00:14Yeah, the journey's always a tough one, but I think that's the fun in all this is, you

00:21know, enjoying those good times, the bad times, learning from them, trying to improve from

00:27so you can get to this point.

00:29So, you know, now getting to this point, this is where this is where the real fun starts,

00:34you know, drink, you know, for years as a kid watching the Yankees, you know, playing

00:38the World Series, one World Series, you know, just that excitement, the emotion, how the

00:43city comes alive is is something, you know, definitely special and you're looking forward

00:49to doing that with this group.

00:51Let's go.

00:52I mean, honestly, this kid's from California.

00:55He's done so much in California.

00:59He hits the ball very well at Dodger Stadium, Soto, Stanton, Stanton has hit balls out of

01:05Dodger Stadium.

01:07So, you know, Soto to me can hit anywhere he can hit on the moon.

01:13So, you know, if they can get those three going and then at a Labor Day bat and one

01:18guy from five to nine produces like I actually thought Volpe has played well in the playoffs

01:25and been making contact and I've had absolutely no gripes about jazz and Volpe on that left

01:32side of that infield.

01:33They're good.

01:34This is a good team.

01:35So, you know, I would say Buehler would be a guy I'd worry about in New York.

01:38He's already come to New York and Citi Field and made mincemeat out of the Mets.

01:43So he's not afraid of big games and he, you know, emphatically says such.

01:47He's like, all I care about is big games.

01:49I don't care about regular season baseball.

01:51I don't care if I'm injured.

01:53Call me in October.

01:54I'm good to go.

01:55That guy is a money pitcher.

01:57So what I saw him do after two Tommy John's to the Mets, I mean, his ball was moving like

02:03crazy and he had all kinds of zip on it.

02:06So I'd worry about him at Yankee Stadium.

02:09I'll tell you that much.

02:10Like if I'm gonna be honest with you, if it's like a road, Don Buehler matchup, I'm gonna

02:14I'd probably bet on Buehler.

02:17You mentioned obviously judge being a SoCal, California guy, Stanton as well.

02:22We gave you all those gaudy numbers yesterday of what both of these guys have done at Dodger

02:27Stadium.

02:28Let's just say judge is looking forward to hitting that.

02:30It's gonna be fun.

02:31I got a lot of family down there in Southern California, a lot of cousins that are down

02:34there that are, you know, gonna be coming to the game, but I always love playing at

02:38Dodger Stadium.

02:39It's electric atmosphere.

02:40You know, one of the best fields in the game.

02:44It's definitely, I think a lot of guys are looking forward to, I know even John Carlo

02:48as well.

02:49He's talked about it.

02:50You know, it's his favorite place to play.

02:52So it's definitely going to be a good time out there with a lot of friends and family

02:55and it's gonna be a good time.

02:59His attitude is so unbelievable.

03:00It's like, it's all just a big joke.

03:02Like none of it's serious.

03:03He's always smiling and taking it all in stride.

03:06It's amazing to me.

03:07Like he shows no nerves at all.

03:09It's like he's actually having fun.
