00:00Game one in the Bronx tomorrow night, American League side, 635 p.m. East for the Yankees

00:09and the Royals.

00:11It will be Michael Waka-Waka-Waka and Garrett Cole in the first game.

00:16Let me actually start things off by giving you some Bobby Wood Jr.

00:20This is from earlier this afternoon.

00:22Of course, you know, being a shortstop, Scotty, who do you think he grew up idolizing your

00:27boy?

00:28We don't have Bobby.

00:29We don't have Bobby in.

00:30That's okay.

00:31He loves Derek Jeter.

00:32I don't want to hear it about Jeter.

00:33We're so far past Derek Jeter around here, it's not even funny.

00:36He was watching all the clips, getting a feel for big games at Yankee Stadium, doing a little

00:42prep work, watching some old Jeter videos.

00:44He'll find out.

00:45He'll find out tomorrow night.

00:46He's going to find out.

00:47About big games on River Ave.

00:48He'll find out.

00:49The hard way.

00:50Minus 205 for the Yankees in game number one, Waka and the Royals plus 172, seven and a

00:57half is the total.

00:59George and Soto hitting shots in game one for Garrett Cole.

01:05He'll give up one.

01:06Maybe Bobby Witt will hit one.

01:08Maybe it's Salvi, but Yankees in game one, they're the only team that hasn't been playing

01:13that'll win because of the Yankees.

01:18Yankees win the series, but I think it's going to be tricky, Scotty, in five.

01:22Yankees in five is what I'm going with against the Royals.

01:26Bobby, I give my tongues.

01:29You're going to have to probably sweat this one out.

01:31I think Yankees in five is where I'm leaning for that series.

01:36The Yankees will manhandle the Royals and suffer punishment along the way.

01:40Put the hands on the pitch, Skyberg.

01:43I'm very nervous about what they're throwing in this series after Garrett Cole.

01:49And I know Rodon is better in the second half.

01:52I'm nervous about Rodon.

01:53I'm nervous about Louie Heal.

01:56I think the Yankees after Cole in the rotation is spotty.

01:59We've talked about this.

02:01They should find a way to get through these three teams and get back to the World Series.

02:05But they're going to need to do what I think with the Bats and not as much, which has been

02:09a problem for them in October, remember.

02:11They have pitched well during the Boone era in October.

02:15They have not hit.

02:16So let's see if now having Soto in there with Judge changes those things.

02:20Yeah, and I think the Royals have not had a good month.

02:23They beat the Orioles because the Orioles are pikers, and they didn't do it by scoring

02:27a lot of runs.

02:28If they don't hit against the Yankees, they're dead meat because the Yankees lineup will

02:32hit at least the top half of that order.

02:35I even love to catch their wells.

02:37I wouldn't let that Lee Trevino near that plate.

02:40I don't care who's pitching, honestly.

02:42I agree.

02:43I mean, they got to get some other people involved in this.

02:45I mean, this guy, Ben Rice, like Rice-a-roni.

02:49I mean, this guy can't hit.

02:50So I've seen him at three home runs once.

02:52Everybody thought he was Babe Ruth.

02:53Then he hit 100 the rest of the time he was here.

02:57And I don't hope he can hit either.

02:58I need deep bats, and I need the big bats to drive in runs and hit home runs.

03:03Now Boone didn't say where he's leaning today, but I'll tell you right now, he's going to

03:07play Verdugo over Dominguez, too, in that lineup tomorrow.

03:10I'd expect Alex Verdugo in game one.

03:13He's been in my game.

03:14I'd play Dominguez, honestly.

03:16I think it's more life in the bat with Dominguez in there.

03:22I think you have a better boom chance with him in than Verdugo.

03:27And if you're so worried about defense, then put Verdugo out there for defense later in

03:32the game.

03:33I think you got a chance for a thunderbolt with Dominguez in there.
