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.
