00:00uh max free has gotten some help and uh i can't think of the best person here possibly besides

00:05george kurtz to help us break down the yankees because max freed hasn't really needed to pitch

00:11as well as he had because i don't know if you realize this george the yankees have a plus 62

00:16run differential in the start of max freed this year so they're excited when max free takes the

00:21mound and there's a reason why max freed might feel unbeatable right now this is an incredible

00:26trend so if you're making bets on the yankees when max freed is out there you might want to look at

00:30that uh run line on the one and a half maybe even tease it a little bit more because the yankees

00:36offense really shows up and shows out whenever max freed is on the mound george what do you make of

00:41this incredible differential for a guy who right now the way he's pitched all year doesn't need it

00:45but it sure is nice to have that cushion he's been fantastic for the yankees uh you can make a pretty

00:52strong argument by the way that if the yankees signed juan soto they'd be in a lot of trouble

00:56right now and it has nothing to do with juan soto all right if they signed juan soto they would

01:00not have signed max freed all right then you wouldn't have freed you don't have heel you don't

01:04have cole you're in a lot of trouble so actually might have worked out for the yankees uh that it

01:10worked uh for this season anyway long term i don't you know free it's gonna get hurt he's you know

01:15he's older his last couple years of that contract gonna be a bust that sort of thing but for this

01:18year it certainly did work out well uh for cashman and the yankees here uh the plus differential

01:24well a big part of that by the way is yeah he's only giving up a run or two a game yankees score

01:29four runs a game yeah you just do the math there 14 starts that's plus 42 right there they've only

01:34scored four runs uh free's been fantastic so it's not like he's pitching great because of the

01:38yankees scoring runs for him uh he's pitching tonight for the yankees against the uh today i'm sorry

01:42i'm just surprised the yankee runs that game it's not on sunday night baseball i'm happy it's not

01:46mind you but i'm just surprised um he's pitching today the yankees are not scoring runs right now

01:51yankees five runs every last 30 innings and one of those was an unearned run that uh the gift from

01:56past continue to get the yankees to win on wednesday night we threw the ball away at home

02:00ah that's not clicking right now uh so uh keep that in mind i think that's gonna be a little

02:04no closer game the people give it credit for plus left-hander fenway park could be a problem for

02:08max reed there we'll see how it goes
