00:00It's clear to me the Yankees are the best team in the American League so far,

00:03a third of the way through the season.

00:05Last year, we know what happened with Judge in right field.

00:09He cranked his toe into that wall, into that gate,

00:13and it was never the same for him.

00:16Obviously, you know, and what happened to him in the World Series in October

00:21where he never hit and he dropped that line drive, it was embarrassing.

00:26But this team now, with the pitching that they have,

00:29and Williams has finally become that setup guy.

00:32He was the closer.

00:33Now he's set up, but he's killing it.

00:35And the Dreamweaver's closing it.

00:37They have the best pitching in baseball, as far as I'm concerned,

00:41from what you're getting even out of Schmitty.

00:44Schmitt has like six straight games.

00:46He's gone into the sixth inning.

00:49Meanwhile, he's sucked as a pitcher for them the last couple years,

00:52and everyone else is doing it.

00:54Warren, you already know what Rodon and Freed Chicken have been doing.

00:58Are you surprised they've had this kind of pitching?

01:02Well, I am, particularly with the Garrett Cole going down.

01:04You figure, okay, let's see what Max Freed does.

01:07We all know he's a good pitcher, but not, you know, to this level.

01:11I mean, he's really stepped up his game, where, you know, right now,

01:14you know, be neck and neck with Tarek Skubal,

01:16who would win the Cy Young Award in the American League.

01:18And you're right about Rodon, just on fire.

01:21It's the best he's pitched since he joined the Yankees.

01:23So, we'll see what happens.

01:25I think, well, right now, it looks like an ALCS reunion back in the days of Tigers-Yankees

01:31could happen again.

01:33The Tigers are very good as well.

01:35So, but, yeah, they're pitching well.

01:37Yankees will get some reinforcements.

01:39Still out there looking for a right-hand bat, probably a third baseman.

01:44So, but, no, they're doing well, considering all the injuries they've had,

01:48and particularly with Cole being out.

01:49Warren's going to go tomorrow.

01:52Yarbrough, allegedly, on Sunday.

01:55Warren's been, I mean, he had a 10-strikeout game.

01:57He leads the all-rookies in strikeouts.

02:00Yarbrough has blown my mind, because he, like, he didn't amount to a hill of beans

02:05the last few years.

02:06And he comes to the Yankees, and suddenly he's got the fountain of youth,

02:10and he looks fantastic.

02:11What do you like in terms of their chances this weekend in these games?

02:17Freed tonight, and then those two on Saturday and Sunday.

02:21And the way they've won seven straight series, 15 of 19, they mean business.

02:26I know how good the Dodgers are, but what are you expecting as you sit in the

02:30sunshine all weekend in Lipstick City there, Bob, with your great tan?

02:34Well, I think the, you know, Max, you've got, like, Max Freed's chances tonight.

02:40You'll take Freed with the Yankees tonight.

02:42Sunday, Yamamoto pitches the Dodgers.

02:44You'll love Yamamoto and the Dodgers on Sunday.

02:47Saturday is a coin flip.

02:49So, yeah, it should be a fun series.

02:52And, hey, no one's pitching staff beat up more than the Dodgers.

02:5514 guys in the injured list.

02:57It's amazing they're even hanging around first place with all the injuries they've had.

03:02So it should be an entertaining series for sure, and I'm sure being built up as not only a

03:07World Series rematch, but maybe a 2025 World Series preview.
