| 0:00.0 | Now, some ready. Here's the 2-0. Yes, he does and it's hammered. Deep to left field. Forget it. Way back and way gone. Into the back of the lower left field stands. |
| 0:18.0 | Nelson came with the best ball 2-0 and Alonso absolutely crushed it. |
| 0:24.0 | It's Nick Kostos and Ken Barkley on you. Better you bet from Beck, you know how we were also the call there on the meds radio network. |
| 0:31.0 | Peter Lonso launching wanted to the stratosphere the meds split a double header on Mother's Day against the Philadelphia Phillies, but in doing so became the first team in majorly baseball to reach 20 wins this season. |
| 0:41.0 | The Yankees earlier today on Monday beat the Texas Rangers off a great game from Nester Cortez winning one nothing. |
| 0:47.0 | So the Yankees now have 20 wins of both New York teams of 20. The meds did get their first. The meds big favorites right now. It's on the national league east minus 175 joining us right now to talk about the meds talk about the Yankees talk about everything going on in majorly baseball how we can make some money betting on the great sport long time majorly baseball journalist our friend Richard justice on Twitter at his name Richard justice doing great work now for our friends over a Texas monthly Richard welcome to you better you bet it's Nick and Ken how's it going? It's going good and thank you for having me. |
| 1:16.0 | Richard why don't we why don't we start I'm sure you heard us play that Peter Lonzo home run at a break obviously one of the stories. |
| 1:21.0 | You know I feel like like East Coast bias gets like a lot of runs sometimes in certain sports but at the start of the baseball season this year at least it makes a ton of sense the Yankees and the meds literally have the most wins and majorly baseball so in terms of the meds |
| 1:32.0 | I think the question betters are kind of asking is okay they've gotten off to this great start they have a six game lead on the division the prices are still even like kind of |
| 1:39.0 | kind of edible for them to win the division so minus 175 so I got to lay 175 to win 100 obviously you know a favorite but not an |
| 1:46.0 | overwhelming favorite I think what we're all kind of wondering is is this sustainable with the meds what do you think? |
| 1:51.0 | Well I think in terms if you just look at the the record in one run games I don't have it in front of you but it's insane |
| 1:58.0 | betting average on balls and play that's way above league average on the other hand they're really good |
| 2:05.0 | and you know to do to be where they are without getting a pitch from Jacob DeGrom is remarkable you know they've done everything right since Steve Cohen took over Sandy |
| 2:15.0 | Alderson has a long history that this error we call analytics began with Sandy Alderson and the Oakland A's and he's the one that brought it |
| 2:23.0 | Billy beat it and it and it went from there you know if you're going to spend money in free agency spend it wisely what could be more wise than the mac sure's or picking up Chris Bass it was a great move. |
| 2:33.0 | So yeah I think they're the best team you know in the national league east I say that with all due respect to the Atlanta Braves and the fact that the Phillies are competitive too but they have a thing going |
| 2:46.0 | and when you have a momentum going you know I said one room their record in one run games is not sustainable but what teams that win those games say is that |
| 2:55.0 | is that worth like to certain resilience but look you hire buck show Walter because you want an adult in the room you want credibility you want a guy who will take care of every every small detail and play the game in the right |
| 3:10.0 | way that's what he get that's that's what he brings and so it's fun I mean look the game is better when the New York teams are good and I've always thought |
| 3:19.0 | make the meds play to me in the most beautiful ballpark in baseball city field is just spectacularly beautiful and they have all the little bells and whistles you know with neighborhood eateries in there what you need is a good team to fill it up and create that New York electricity |
| 3:34.0 | and that's what they've gotten. |
