Yankees' Juan Soto takes down White Sox with 3 home runs

>> @#IT WAS THE JUAN SOTO TONIG ON THE SOUTH SIDE. THREE HOME RUNS, HE DROVE IN ALL FOUR RUNS FOR THE YANKEES. THAT WHITE SOX HAD THE BASES LOADED WITH ONE OUT IN THE NINTH BUT COULD NOT SCORE. IT IS WHITE SOX POSTGAME WITH THE LEGEND, OZZIE GUILLEN, @#I CHUCK GARFIEN. THE WHITE SOX ARTIFICIALLY ELIMINATED FROM THE RACE IN THE MIDDLE OF AUGUST. WOW. THAT KIND OF CEMENTS WHAT HAS HAPPENED THIS YEAR AND THAT WHITE SOX @#ARE THAT FAR BEHIN THE OTHER TEAMS. >> I WANT TO SAY MY FAVORITE WORD. >> WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORD? >> CURSING. >> WE ARE ON LIVE TELEVISION. I THINK I KNOW WHAT YOUR FAVORITE @#WORD IS. >> FLUSH IT. FLUSH IT. >> IS THAT IN HONOR OF PEDRO? @# >> YES, WE ARE FLUSHING THE SEASON. I SAID IT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. IT IS A NEW ERA. >> IT IS A NEW ERA FOR @#GRADY SIZEMORE. >> TO ME THE FUTURE IS RIGHT. IT IS BRIGHT. THEY CAN DEVELOP SOME PLAYERS. >> I DON'T WANT TO TEASE @#YOU TOO LONG WITH THESE PHOTOS BUT ME WILL SHOW A COUPLE NOW. LOOK AT THIS YOUNG GUY IN 1986? I THINK IT WAS. @# >> I LOOK LIKE A NESTOR CORTES. IN THAT PICTURE WHEN HE WAS LIKE THREE YEARS OLD. >> ONE MORE. LOOK AT WHAT A HAPPY KID YOU WERE. BY THE WAY A WHITE SOX FAN GAVE YOU THESE PHOTOS. THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING @#ON MY DESK. LOOK HOW HAPPY YOU WERE. WEIRD DID THIS BALL GO? >> A FOUL TO LEFT FIELD. >> YOU CAN SEE THAT @#NUMBER 13 WE ARE AT THE PARK YESTERDAY AND THE BATTING CAGE IS BEEN THE LOWER BOWELS OF THE FIELD, WHO DO WE SEE WARMING UP, WE SEE JAZZ CHISHOLM. WHAT NUMBER IS HE WEARING? >> @#NUMBER 13. WE TALKED TO EACH OTHER. I WAS COACHING WITH @#HIM IN MONTREAL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COACH WORKING HARDER THAN THE HITTING COACH OF THE YANKEES. THAT GUY IS A WORKAHOLIC. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT JUAN @#SOT >> HE HAD THREE WALKS LAST NIGHT. HE GOT ONE WALK TONIGHT BUT HE DID A LOT OF TROTTING AROUND THE BASES. THIS GUY IS A BEAST AND A HALF. THIS IS WHAT THE @#YANKEES ENVISIONED. THE YANKEES MADE A TRADE TO THE PADRES TO GET JUAN SOTO. THREE HOME RUNS, FOUR RBIs, THIS GUY IS 25 YEARS OLD AND HE WILL BE A FREE AGENT AT THE END OF @#THE SEASON. WITHOUT POWER IS ELECTRIC. >> I THINK HE @#WILL SIGN BACK WITH THE YANKEES. THERE IS NO BETTER PARK FOR HIM. THEY HAVE A GOOD BALL CLUB AROUND HIM TO WIN THE DIVISION. THAT ONE LANDED IN NEW JERSEY. # >> HE IS MAKING 31 MILLION THIS YEAR. HE WILL GET 50 MILLION A YEAR NEXT YEAR. >> GOD BLESS HIM. >> LAST YEAR HE PLAYED @#EVERY GAME. HE ONLY MISSED FOUR GAMES THIS YEAR. >> I GOING TO SEND MY GRANDKIDS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. THERE IS SOMETHING IN @#THE WATER. THEY HAVE SO MANY GREAT BALLPLAYERS. >> YOU HAVE TO FIND THE RIGHT ONES. >> ALSO THEY RELEASE A LOT OF YOUNG PLAYERS IN THE MINOR LEAGUES. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY FIND THOSE GUYS PICK EVERY YEAR YOU SEE @#A NEW NAME. IT IS AMAZING HOW THAT LITTLE ISLAND CAN PRODUCE SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS. THEY BRING SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS. IT IS AMAZING. >> @#YOU DON'T SEE FOOTBALL BEI PLAYED THERE. >> THE GUYS HAVE LIKE 10 KIDS. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT PLAYERS. SO MANY. @# >> LAST ONE TO HIT THREE HOME RUNS AGAINST THE WHITE SOX , THINK ABOUT IT A SECOND. HE PLAYED FOR THE TWINS. I WOULD THINK NELSON CRUZ BUT IT IS AN. IN 2021. A @#BIG GUY. IT WAS SANO. THE LAST YANKEE TO DO IT, THIS IS TOUGH, 1996, HE @#ALSO PLAYE FOR THE NEW YORK METS. LOOK AT THIS GUY OVER HERE. STRAWBERRY. LAST WHITE SOX PLAYER TO HIT THREE HOME RUNS IN A GAME. >> AGAINST ANYBODY? >> ANYBODY. YOU HAVE TO @#GET THIS. COME ON. COME ON. LAST WHITE SOX PLAYER TO HIT THREE HOME RUNS IN A GAME. OZZIE, THIS IS YOUR WHEELHOUSE. >> IT HAS TO BE FRANK. >> NO. COME @#ON. IT WAS YOUR PICK TO CLICK THAT NIGHT. >> NO WAY! >> THE NIGHT BEFORE HE HAD @# THREE STRIKEOUTS. THEY TOOK HIM OUT WITH TWO STRIKES. THE VERY NEXT GAME AGAINST CLEVELAND, LOOK AT THAT BIG CROWD. HE HITS THREE HOME RUNS AND HE WAS YOUR PICK TO CLICK. >> BY THE WAY, @#IT WAS OPPOSIT FIELD 3G. THAT GUY HAD THE WORST CHANGE EVER. >> THAT WAS AMAZING. DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR REACTION WHEN HE HITS THE THIRD HOME RUN THAT DAY. THIS IS @#HE REACTION. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THAT WAS EVERYONE'S REACTION. >> WHAT ARE YOU DOING. >> THAT IS @#GOOD STUFF. THREE RUNS, ALL RIGHT, OKAY. ALL THREE RUNS ON TWO HOME RUNS. WE KNOW THIS YANKEES TEAM WILL TAKE, THIS IS THE MOST DISCIPLINED OFFENSE IN BASEBALL BY A WIDE @#MARGIN. >> THEY MAKE YOU PITCH. YOU CAN SEE THE BALL MOVING A LOT. HE KEEPS PUNCHING YOU. THAT IS THE TYPE OF HEADERS THAT @#THEY HAVE. THEY MAKE YOU PITCH. >> THE YANKEES, AS A TEAM, 496 WALKS, MAKE - MOST IN THE @# MAJORS BY 41. THE WHITE SOX HAVE 294. >> Steve: THEY HAVE GUYS THAT SHOULD STRIKE OUT A LOT. >> THEY DON'T STRIKE OUT A LOT. >> @#THEY SHOULD. IT IS SO AMAZING. THAT IS A BIG KID. I NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD BE @# THAT GOOD. SOMETIMES YOU ARE A GOOD BASEBALL PLAYER YOU AREN'T AN ATHLETE. THIS KID IS BOTH. IT IS AMAZING. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. HE IS A GREAT THING TO HAPPEN TO MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL. >> LAST NIGHT THE WHITE SOX SCORED @# 12 RUNS AGAINST THE BULLPEN. THIS OFFENSE HAD SOMETHING GOING, I WANTED TO SEE THEM DO IT AGAINST CORTES BECAUSE HE HAS OWNED THE WHITE SOX IN HIS CAREER. HE DID COME IN STRUGGLING. @# TONIGHT, THIS WAS WHITE SOX KILLER NESTOR CORTES AGAIN . WHAT DID HE HAVE TONIGHT? >> TONIGHT HIS FASTBALL HAD A LITTLE MORE LIFE. HIS CUTTER WAS WORKING @#FOR HI HE IS THROWING STRIKES. HE THREW EVERYTHING IN @#THE BOOK. WHEN YOU HAVE COMMAND LIKE HE DOES YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD DAY AGAINST THE WHITE SOX. BY THE WAY, NOTHING WOULD @#BE STRAIGHT. >> HE MESSES UP YOUR TIMING. >> ALSO, EVERYTHING IS AROUND THE PLATE. >> THIS IS PRETTY GOOD. HE IS 6-CERMAK AGAINST THE WHITE @#SOX. LOOK AT THE STRIKE OUT TO WALK RATIO. I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM PITCH AGAINST THE WHITE SOX EVER AGAIN. HE IS NOT EVEN HAVING A @#GOOD YEAR. A BETTER QUESTION, DOES HE LOOK LIKE A YOUNG OZZIE? HERE IT IS. OKAY. >> I WAS BETTER LOOKING. @# I WAS 300 POUNDS LESS THAN HIM. HE LOOKS LIKE RON GUIDRY. >> LUIS TIANT @#IN 1970. >> MY NICK NAME WAS RON GUIDRY. I WISH I WAS PITCHING LIKE HIM. >> NESTOR CORTES IS A FREE AGENT IN 2026. HE CAME OUT OF THE GAME, @#THAN GOODNESS. THE YANKEES GO TO THE BULLPEN. TOP OF THE EIGHTH INNING, THE SOX GET THE FIRST TWO WALKS OF THE GAME, HERE IS A LUIS ROBERT JR. HE WAS 2 OF 38 WITH @#17 STRIKEOUTS. >> WHEN YOU COME OUT OF THE BULLPEN LIKE THAT YOU HAD BETTER THROW STRIKES.@# HE DOES NOT GIVE HIMSELF A CHANCE. >> WE MOVED TO THE NINTH INNING 4-1. THE SOX TRYING TO BATTLE BACK. CLAY HOLMES DID NOT COME IN TONIGHT SO @#IT WAS KAHNLE AND COUSINS. THE WHITE SOX WOULD LOAD THE BASES WITH ONE OUT BUT COULD NOT CAPITALIZE. >> A VERY @#TOUGH SITUATION. THEY SHUT IT DOWN RIGHT AWAY. >> THAT WAS MY PICK TO CLICK. HE ALMOST HAD A DOUBLE. NOW THE BASES ARE LOADED AGAINST COUSINS.@# THEY HAD TWO LEFTIES UP, LOPEZ AND BALDWIN. YOU DIDN'T LIKE THIS SWING BY BALDWIN. >> HE WAS TOO ANXIOUS. THAT IS HOW YOU CHANGE THE GAME. I @#DON'T THINK ANY OF THOSE PITCHES WERE A STRIKE. HE WAS CHASING. >> I KNOW WHO WOULD HAVE DELIVERED IN THE NINTH, BASES LOADED, TWO OUTS, GO TO THIS GUY. THIS IS SOMEONE WHO GETS THE @# JOB DONE. >> I GAVE UP SO MANY AT-BATS IN MY CAREER. I WAS MORE PATIENT. >> @#YOU WERE A BETTER HITTER WITH MEN IN SCORING POSITION. YOU WERE LOCKED IN. LET'S HEAR FROM @#GRADY SIZEMOR TALKING ABOUT THE LOSS TONIGHT. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I THOUGHT WE HAD GOOD AT- BATS. WE HAD THE WINNING RUN AT THE PLATE BUT AGAIN CORTES WAS TOUGH TONIGHT. @# HE WAS THROWING IT WELL. HE REALLY DID A GOOD JOB. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> LIKE I SAID, HE FELL BEHIND A FEW TIMES BUT HE IS A GOOD HITTER. THOSE GUYS THE DAMAGE, SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PITCH @#T THEM. HE WAS MAKING GOOD SWINGS. CORTES HAD A GOOD NIGHT BUT I THOUGHT WE FOUGHT HARD. WE DIDN'T GIVE UP. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I FEEL LIKE THESE GUYS ARE GOOD. THAT IS @#WHAT THEY DO. THEY PUT PRESSURE ON YOU. THEY FORCE YOU TO THROW STRIKES. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE THOSE NUMBERS. THAT IS WHY THEY SCORE A LOT OF RUNS. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I MEAN @#I ALWAYS SAY IT WIL FORCE YOU TO PLAY BETTER, YOU WILL HAVE SUCCESS, SOME FAILURES, BUT THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED TO LEARN TO PLAY AT THIS LEVEL. IT IS A DIFFERENT ANIMAL. A DIFFERENT SPEED FROM A DIFFERENT COMPETITION. THESE GUYS NEED TO @#GET THEIR FEET WET AND THEY ARE HOLDING THEIR OWN. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I THOUGHT CORTES MADE A GOOD PLAY. AGAIN, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> I THINK HE WAS JUST TRYING TO CREATE @#SOME OFFENSE. >> Reporter: [ INAUDIBLE QUESTION ] >> THAT IS BIG FOR HIM. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ONE SWING TO GET BACK IN TO THE GROOVE SO, HIS NIGHT TO END LIKE THAT HOPEFULLY HE CAN TAKE IT INTO TOMORROW @#AND BUILD OFF OF THO SWINGS. >> IF THE SOX GET ROBERT BACK THE GAMES WILL BE DIFFERENT. >> MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS NEVER THE @#SAME. I AM CLOSE TO HAVING A HEART ATTACK. >> YOU LOOK HEALTHIER RIGHT NOW. >> I TELLING YOU. THIS GUY, I LOVE WHAT HE SAYS, WE WILL LEARN ABOUT THE @# MISTAKES. THAT IS IT. YOU HAVE GOT TO LEARN WHEN YOU FAIL, THAT IS HOW YOU LEARN. WHEN YOU FAIL, YOU LEARN FROM @# LAST. >> THIS IS GOING TO SOUND LIKE WE ARE PILING ON PEDRO, BUT AFTER THE GAME HE WOULD GO HOME TO WATCH THE GAME. TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, AND HE WAS WATCHING THE GAME LAST NIGHT, GRADY SIZEMORE SAID HE FELT ASLEEP WATCHING @#THE GAME >> NOW MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS OKAY. >> ONE TONY WAS THE MANAGER, AFTER THE GAME, OFTENTIMES THE MEDIA WOULD WAIT, HE WOULD BE @# WAITING FOR THE MEDIA. HE WOULD BE READY. >> BECAUSE TONY WOULD FORGET WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY. TONY, YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU. SOMETIMES I WAS SO UPSET I WAS NOT TALKING @#TO ANYBODY. >> OZZIE IS READY TO GO. MAYBE PEDRO IS WATCHING THE
