Podcast Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
Hello and welcome to Two Front War, a podcast that is covering the Yankees' 2024 postseason. I'm Andrew, and with me is Liam. Liam, what's up?
00:00:14
Speaker
Liam?
Humor and Yankees' Offensive Struggles
00:00:17
Speaker
I'm Aaron Judge, I didn't show up. ah I see what you did there. Yeah, this is bad. This is bad. Inkies are down 0-3 after a 4-2 loss where they couldn't score until the ninth inning.
00:00:33
Speaker
um
00:00:37
Speaker
They were playing clips on Fox of the last time that that happened is against the Marlins. and the word seemss that I'm sorry, Liam, but I miss this game. I was playing Betrayal at Baldur's Gate with some friends and didn't contain after. ah But I was looking at the score and I was thinking the whole time, oh, this sucks for Liam and me and everyone in baseball.
Analysis of Game Errors
00:01:03
Speaker
Get fucking Apple Vision Pros, put them in the, put them in, put the game in the corner. Yeah, I should get one, huh? That was the use of $3,000 or whatever.
00:01:15
Speaker
yeah this is a this is atrocious I mean Yankees go 5 for got two of the hits Volpe and Rizzo or the others oh and David or Dego I did see that in that disgusting send for Stan
00:01:46
Speaker
i don'tt know how you do that I don't know how you I don't know why you send him. I think the third base coach might be the only person on the planet that would have sent him. Yeah, ah that was wild.
Managerial Decisions and Rumors
00:01:59
Speaker
Someone might not have a job at the end of the season. Probably not.
00:02:07
Speaker
I mean, I don't know. Even if I did watch this game, I don't know what what there is a talk about. They had 11 strikeouts. No, it was it was fucking. Nine innings of uninspired baseball. Yeah.
00:02:26
Speaker
No one can get anything done. Boone didn't change the lineup. He switched out t Trevino with Wells at the beginning, which is like swapping out herpes for cold sores.
00:02:37
Speaker
in the seventh. And then you see he put him in the game anyway that was the only substitution he made. Judge was still in his normal position the only thing he could do today was walk once. Yeah he goes 0 for 3, one walk, strike out just one time.
00:03:01
Speaker
Yeses.
00:03:06
Speaker
this is atrocious so there there is a there's a fake idea look what can we talk about here's something interesting there's a fake fucking journalism that dropped that judge was being investigated for p e d use that was a fucking lie there an article dropped in the middle of the game that the Dodgers are going to make a big play for Juan Soto um So like what whats what's the big play gonna be that he gets paid like five hundred thousand dollars for ten years and then He'll get paid like they definitely for the next like yeah for like the next like 20 years after that awesome some bullshit like man I Mean this is What sucks the most about this is that like this is clearly what the MLB wanted. I that they approved the this insane payments game for not just Otani, but for Yamamoto and then a few other players also get in their deferred payments. This is a team that that if it was any other team, if didn't that they didn't get vetoed by the MLB, that'd be the only thing they could do for the entire season. Let's get Otani.
00:04:30
Speaker
but ah yeah I digress yeah this is just embarrassing just seeing the score and it looks it it appears to me I don't know how you feel about it but it appears to me this is all on the offense Yeah, the the pitching is pulling their weight.
Evaluating Pitching and Offensive Failures
00:05:01
Speaker
The pitching and defense is pulling its weight. It's kept the it's kept the Dodgers who. ah Who typically like during their whole postseason run up to this point, where they're either either exploding with runs or their game shut out and you're keeping them to you're keeping them to to sub five, which I think is great.
00:05:28
Speaker
But then you've just got, I don't know why judge is still betting third. This is fucking unbelievable. And you got to change it tomorrow because he didn't fucking change it today. Yeah. Management is showing no initiative.
00:05:55
Speaker
This is a.
00:06:02
Speaker
Yeah. Nester came in and redeemed himself. That was pretty cool. Okay. yeah He did. Did he come in today? He did. Okay. He was, uh, the second relief, um, after leader, uh, Clark Schmidt ends up getting the L today. He went only 2.2 innings, giving up two hits, three runs. Sucks three strikeouts. So that's not great. Maybe, maybe we should have started Nester. Yeah. Well, like that would have been interesting to see.
00:06:32
Speaker
That's another thing that sucks too, huh? It's like, once again, a bad start. that That's what lost the game. The bullpen killing it. Only giving up. Only giving up one run across. Seven relief pitchers. That's amazing.
00:06:57
Speaker
and the Dodgers have their bullpen game tomorrow and people were thinking it was going to be a sweep. It might be a sweep. It might be because last time they had a a bullpen game that was against was the Mets or the Padres. Oh, I think it was the Padres. They had a bullpen game for their last game and they won. So.
Avoiding a Series Sweep
00:07:25
Speaker
ah The Yankees better figure this out tomorrow. You can not get swept.
00:07:33
Speaker
But like if they're not fighting for anything, fight not to get swept. Yeah, at this point, babies. This is did the dodger sweep. Anyone else in the postseason? No.
00:07:45
Speaker
No, they they lost. They went all five games for against the Padres and it went I think four games or five, five, five or six games with the Mets. I can take a look at that real quick. It's just. Just embarrassing. This is embarrassing.
00:08:12
Speaker
nineties and seven is that it is technically so yes it is your your prediction is still alive uh... the the in keys went they they went all five games with thegainst the reciprocities and they they beat the Mets for two uh... uh... i honestly don't really know what what what the officer to talk about about this is anyone else In contention for World Series and MVP other than Freddy Freeman right now? um No. Should they consider anyone else? I don't think so.
00:08:57
Speaker
Yeah. ah I mean, now it's just like... Tomorrow it's just gonna be like, alright, is it over?
Pitching Strategies and Catcher Changes
00:09:14
Speaker
who's on the bump for tomorrow? who's on the bump for tomorrow? for tomorrow? I can get that up here on the MLB app they'll have a... today's Monday they'll have a likely match-ups I don't know if they'll have a likely... they don't know for the... it'll be a heal tomorrow for the Yankees against TBD what was heels last start?
00:09:43
Speaker
uh... his last starts I don't know well it had to be against the guardians, right? did four innings? yeah that's not
00:10:13
Speaker
No, he can't do that. I absolutely cannot do four innings against this team and expect a win.
00:10:28
Speaker
I don't know what I have to look forward to for tomorrow. Yeah. I think i mean, I feel the same way. I feel the same way.
00:10:42
Speaker
i I don't know what what to look forward to either. I probably won't be able to watch that game either because I've got you know more more family stuff going on. but So sorry about that. but
00:10:58
Speaker
Just looking here. Why do you bring Austin like okay, I get it Trevino goes 042 once you show me nothing. Yeah, but but like You bring in Wells Trevino batting 200 Wells betting 0.093. Why would you do that? You sure counts, but I don't I don't know. Are you talking about postseason sets for Trevino? Yeah for season step a season Well, Trevino's only been to the plate so many times. Yeah, but even then I i don't think I would bring in Austin Wells.
00:11:41
Speaker
I can say that in retrospect because he hasn't he didn't do anything in the game, but I wouldn't be doing at all this this postseason. Neither of them have neither of them have. Yeah. So I wouldn't have made the change at any point.
00:11:55
Speaker
I don't know why that's the only change Boone went for. Yeah.
Debate on Intentional Walks and Conclusion
00:12:00
Speaker
All right. Well, is that it? Remember game one? We could have won game one. Yeah. Yeah. Game one is a game that should have won. um Probably should have.
00:12:16
Speaker
don't know I still stand by I don't think intentionally walking Mookie to get to Freddie was the worst decision it just does feel like this whole season though the the whole conversation around intentionally walking is it always seem to backfire this season I'm not sure what the stats are on that but That's something that that people showed a lot, that it just backfired. Either way, you throw out your intentional walk when you pitch inside to someone like Freddy Freeman. so yeah that That is also true. I mean, don't hit your marks. It was a big risk, weird reward kind of thing, high risk, high reward. But it kind of feels like that was like the only like controversial move, maybe, that I could be like, I get it. And then the rest of the series is just like, OK, what are we doing?
00:13:13
Speaker
uh but it's not yeah it's not over uh your your prediction yinkies and seven is still on maybe maybe maybe you know we've been saying this uh all postseason but maybe maybe tomorrow is uh the day that judge figures it out i hope that i hope it's i hope it's batting five not just not just that's where it figures it out Not just judge, hopefully it's the whole lineup figuring it out.
00:13:48
Speaker
All right, well, we we'll be back tomorrow. we We'll cut it. Yeah. Bye, everyone.
00:13:59
Speaker
but
