We bring the guys back to play a
game of. What if let's begin with judge and Juan Soto CeeLo?
If they finish their Seasons at their current Pace, would they
be considered the best one-two? Combo and baseball history,
baseball history, that's covering a lot of years. There
have been some great ones over the years. Certainly even within
the Yankee organization. I think a little bit of recency
bias may be here with that one. No disrespect. Aaron judge and
Juan Soto. So it was obviously done everything. You could have
asked, and more, we know about Judge and his, you know, his
tremendous power and is all around. And game at the plate right now, but I have to do a little
digging on that one. Jay, Jay going back all through the years
because I don't know if we're quite that far yet with
these two. So I'm not taking the bait because the Yankees as
an organization had two guys by the name of Babe Ruth and Lou
Gehrig and I think it's going to be
tough to top that. However the fact that we are even having
this conversation should just speak volumes to the
type of years that these two individuals have
had as a whole. I mean, watch soda when a walkie R is putting
up a The P caliber numbers and he's not going to sniff the MVP award because one of his
teammates is having maybe the best
statistical season I have ever seen in my life
outside of Barry Bonds in 2001. So just think about that for a
minute, you're putting judge and Soto in Ruth and Gehrig.
Yeah, category insane. It's incredible
for us to even be talking about it. Honestly,
let's talk pitching here though. JJ, if Marcus Stroman continues to
pitch, well, he went five innings giving up three runs
Sunday, do you? You pick him over Nestor Cortez, as your
fourth starter in the playoffs. Well, Chelsea who says you have
to choose. When you look at Louis seal and you look at
court Schmidt as guys that have Bullpen experience, and we know
that the Yankees Bullpen dying for swinging Miss dying of
finances in the back end, I think it's conceivable that Marcus Stroman and that's the Cortez, or
starting for the Yankees in the postseason, especially with
the way the starting pitcher in postseason, play has come Have been devalued these teens
like using a bunch of different guys, and they may come to the
conclusion that will we seal, and Court Schmidt were more
valuable to them, out of the bullpen. That's why Su o to
me, Nestor and Marcus Stroman
pitcher. Well, is a major, major key for this
yankee team and look, and if they do what you said, depending
on which day or where you are in the series, how much
rest, you can even caddy. Those two guys with the two starting
pitchers and have one after the other, and maybe you see a
little bit more of healer Schmidt out of the pen
longer length in your Accustomed to seeing out of a
guy in the bullpen, like, JJ alluded to come the postseason.
These starters are getting the gate early, but if you're
asking me to choose between the two, I know we haven't seen Peak mr.
Cortez like we did the year, he went to the all-star game but in
a big spot for some reason. I still have a better feeling
about it, maybe because he's been here longer. Maybe I feel
he's got a little bit more bulldog in them. The, from the
left side, I think he has the ability to go a little bit
deeper in the game in a best-case scenario than
Stroman. So I would say Cortez, if you ask me to choose between
the two, not a bad problem to have and we Up with Aaron judge.
What if you play it all of his games outside of Yankee
Stadium Cielo would it matter. I mean, it wouldn't matter. As far as him
being an unbelievable baseball player, one of the best. We've
seen MVP candidate all those things. Would he lose a few home
runs along the way playing at Yankee Stadium or playing
somewhere else. I think he would more so than he would in any other Park.
Maybe I'm Wrong on that, I haven't looked at the stats, I
don't know exactly, but those right, the opposite field, you
know, flick of the wrists essentially the second home run.
He hit Sunday is an example of one that if he
was playing in a Another Park, maybe that's just a fly out.
Instead of a ball in the seats. Listen, he takes advantage of
his surroundings, but Todd Helton took advantage of his
surroundings. When he pointed at Coors Field, I think about Carl. Yastrzemski
you think about Wade, Boggs with the green monster and using
that to their advantage? It is your home ballpark. It is
your terrain and Aaron judge is a special power hitter. So yes,
it's heated from time to time with the Yankee Stadium. Cheapie
sure. But he also hits a ton of moonshots
that would be out of just about every Stadium imaginable. JJ one ballpark. Do you think he
would hit the most homers it? So I was thinking about this
and it is a stadium. I attended a game at earlier
this year, I saw your judge
hits, the moon shots out of Citizens
Bank Park, the ball flies out of that place. I'm going to say you have more home runs in
Philly. Okay. That's the next one. Guess I would probably
agree. That is a bandbox. I'm going to stay in the National
League. Another one that whenever I see it it just feels
tiny and I feel like especially to right field where judge has a tendency to
hit the ball out. I'm going to go Great, American
Ballpark. Since since he okay, wow.
Alright. See you out, you just know everything. Wow, he would never count you out. Good news
though, the Orioles lost Sunday nights of the Yanks are now a
game and a half up on them in the ALS. Right guys. Thanks so
much for hanging out with us on Honda Sports night.
