00:00and this is the hottest one that i have i think the yankees get their first world series since
00:052009 i think the yankees are built to beat the dodgers is that fair that's a fun one i'm glad
00:12you brought this one on the show yeah invalidate it for me i would love to not see it just
00:20invalidate it for me please uh i'll try my best to invalidate because i do think the pitching side
00:24of things is really scary um like when you garrett cole's already trending back rodon's not too far
00:31behind uh and then the one part i will look at and i know they've graded out statistically fine
00:36i don't love the bullpen i don't think camillo dovall is very good i i think he he was one
00:42of
00:42those guys that we saw the best right when he came up i just don't know if he has that
00:46that
00:48definitive put away stuff that you want from a guy like camp um i think there's a lot of reliance
00:53on
00:54tim hill and brent hedrick and like those guys are are really solid in the regular season how much
00:58do you trust them in leverage fernando cruz is your second best reliever in terms of swing and
01:03miss leverage stuff he walks the world and i like david bednar a lot but he's not necessarily greg
01:08maddox out there either so i think this bullpen when everything's clicking everyone's hot it can be
01:13pretty good but i also think it's a definitive weakness for them that's the only thing i can really
01:18point towards and say this will do them in because i think the offense is only going to get better
01:22um as other guys start to inevitably pick up and this pitching staff is stupid okay so my counter
01:28to that is why can't brian cashman pick up the phone on june 10th and call dana brown and say
01:33we
01:33want brian abreu in a walk here and then just fix him i know he's really struggled but like yeah
01:38they
01:38could do that um i they've very aggressively addressed the bullpen in the last couple years uh i and i
01:48think
01:48that's something that you'll see cashman do again so that's the thing like i'm just trying to give you
01:52some some pushback the bullpen i don't like at all but you hedge that with ridiculous rotation depth i
01:59think louise heel ends up being in that bullpen we'll see maybe he ends up performing better when
02:03he is relegated to that role but this pitching staff man it's crazy you pair that with ben rice
02:10you know emerging into this offensive star whether he maintains this or not i think it's very obvious
02:15that this guy is going to absolutely rake um and then all the other pieces that i don't really have
02:20to sell you on um i think the big thing too would be shortstop slash third base just the left
02:24side of
02:24the infield like mcmahon can't really hit um and then it's caballero and volpe like caballero hasn't
02:30been swinging great either that would be the other thing that could kind of do them in but if those
02:34guys are defending at an elite clip and giving you some value on the base paths the end of the
02:39day who
02:39i don't think it's going to do you in so i'm excited to see a healthy volpe when he does
02:44eventually come back like i would be curious to see what a healthy anthony volpe looks like and then
02:48just taking a peek at this lineup right now man bellinger is walking more than he's striking out
02:53grisham is off to a slow start batting average wise he hit in a buck 67 but he's got a
02:58321 on base
02:59percentage he's walking more than he's striking out judge has nine homers rice has eight homers he's got
03:0418 walks drawn already through 22 games the new york yankees have drawn 109 walks and their 733
03:12ops as a team is six best in baseball they're also top 10 in baseball in staff era even with
03:18a middling bullpen and then talking about the rotation depth that you have okay heel goes to
03:24the bullpen maybe weathers goes to the bullpen too when you get two arms back and ryan weathers
03:29has punched out 36 and i was just saying you like can't you like almost can't right now good
03:34it's insane what's going on man we've got about 30 seconds left here but can you get behind that like
03:40if it's not the dodgers and obviously it's an uphill battle and again 15 seconds is yes or no
03:45quick reason why are the yankees pick two clearly or no right now yes because the pitching can go toe
03:52to toe and again i don't need to sell you on the top of that offense i think the yankees
03:56can win
03:56their first world series since 2009 here in 2026 we shall see
04:00we'll see you on the top of that Due
