But instead of thinking of it offensively, their pitching is really, really good when everybody is healthy and throwing well.

He's a very underrated pitcher, and so is Will Warren on this team.

And this is where the Yankees have some real depth in their starting rotation.

We talk all the time about Rodon and Freed and Schlittler and Garrett Cole, who's come back now.

Will Warren's really good, and Ryan Weathers is way better than people think.

And he's deceptive out there.

People have trouble picking him up.

So I think he's a very effective pitcher for them.

But he, you know, when everyone's right, he might be their sixth starter.

It's a pretty good sixth starter right there.

Well, I'm going to be looking for that release point because it is so high.

And when he throws his slider from that height, it is really disconcerting.

Kevin, you're a hitter.

You know what this is like.

And they told me this is Juan Guzman's slider.

I remember Juan Guzman's slider exceptionally well.

Nobody.

I wrote a story about his slider for Sports Illustrated 35 years ago, and Trey Savage has a similar action to that slider.

When he's got that kind of release point and he throws as hard as he does, that's why he's a nightmare when he's right.

Again, people start to learn, hey, you lay off of this, lay off of that maybe, but that's not very easy to do when he's out there.
