Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. It's the All-Star Break Roundtable. We got everyone hopping in. John Bino, Jimmy Norf, Swillstock, Joe McFly, Chris Rose. Let's talk ball. We're going to talk a lot of ball. Who's that? Noah Schultz. Pat Burrell. Grand slam. Grand slam. Wow. Dueling grand slams. Hello, and welcome to Talkin' Baseball, presented to you by Fanatics Markets, where fans trade on sports. I am Jake Storielli, Professor Jake Storielli. That is the classy Trevor Plouffe, 106, Philly's finest, Bobby Sirachi producing, and we've got a fun one today. Hopefully an all-star tradition, because tradition's all it's about. And we have our first guest. I think we start rolling it. The guest. It's a big guest.
Oh, look at that dirt. Boom. John boy. Jimmy O'Brien.
What do guests say about the Yankees’ health, rotation and AL vs NL differences?
Can you go back to the two shot of just them, Rob? This is winners meetings wrapped up. Which one's the athlete and which one's the front office? This is Buster Posey's right hand man and David Stern's right hand man.
Come on. Buster Posey. How are you feeling right now, boss?
Big deadline for you. Second worst team in the National League. They could trade a lot, but no one wants it. Ooh, I disagree. Well, for the price. They could eat tons of money.
Yeah.
And that becomes an ownership thing.
This is nice.
Jim, let's chew through it a little bit, because I know sometimes you're looking for a forum just to get some thoughts out. First, tell the people maybe two minutes on your Yankees, what you're seeing, what you want to see. Go.
Yankees are good because the American League is really bad. I want to see Max Freed and Judge get healthy. And then from there, I think they're a really good playoff team. Even if they don't improve that much after that, maybe can't win the World Series, but I think they can get the ALCS if Judge and Freed are healthy and everyone else stays. Because that gives you a rotation of Schlittler, Rodan, or Schlittler, Freed, righty, lefty, Cole, Rodan, righty, lefty, which is really good top four. And I'm talking just getting to the ALCS. Like, I think they can do that. They have to win the division, though, because the three-game set screws you up so much. And the Rays are good. Are you worried about that?
The Rays are four games up. Yeah, I'm worried that the Yankees aren't worried. Interesting. They weren't worried last year at all. And then they started being worried two weeks at the end of the season. So I'm worried that they're not worried about that. Because you got... Yeah. I mean, if you got a, it's the same thing as last year, then if they play in the three game set and beat whatever team gets in, then their pitching is not going to be lined up and they're going to have to go to the trop and play on turf, just like they had to do in Toronto and play on turf where they're not good on turf and have their pitching not be organized and not have home field advantage. It was like played a huge factor.
Maybe we turn Yankee Stadium into a turf stadium.
You got to talk to Cunningham about that.
What I've realized about your Yanks and basically almost every single American League team is that everybody is flush with starting pitching and nobody has an offense. Seattle, flush with starting pitching. Boston, flush with starting pitching. The Tigers now, all of a sudden... have a bevy of starting pitchers going for them. Their offense is pretty suspect, can be okay. The Twins leading the American League in runs is insane.
It's the Dodgers effect. I mean, every free agent signed to the National League because they got to compete with the Dodgers.
